Can't say I understand the notion of "getting more tattoos to distract from the creepy one. It's still going to be there. If you really want it gone, save up some dough and get it removed. Or find an artist to cover it up with something better. There are plenty of people who go through traumatic experiences without getting horrific impulse tattoos. It's understandable and forgivable for sure, but I wouldn't leave major life choices up to them in the future.

Three backups are of course better than two but I can't fault the guy for thinking that he was covered by having it stored to ~the cloud.~ It would take a malicious actor to defeat that sort of backup system and, well, look what happened. His advisor is being a weenie by not giving the extension. I would do it if I'd been working with the student regularly (and thus knew that they were actually on track) and they told me the story and showed me a receipt from the data recovery place. It depends on the University, but one extra week at the end usually wouldn't prevent him from graduating in the same semester because of the timing of commencement. Even if it did, he could officially graduate at the end of the summer session and still maintain his fellowship for the subsequent fall. Finally, if everything does get hosed up, he could always sue his ex at least for the cost of an additional semester of school, and maybe also the lost value of the fellowship.

unironic victim blaming  I am genuinely curious if there is any legal recourse. It's a crime for him to access her email without authorization, even if it's logged in on the computer, but that doesn't do anything to make her whole. Can an undergrad thesis be considered to have monetary value?

AITA for expecting more than half the pizza?quote:I'm going to order a pizza tomorrow. My wife doesn't really like me getting pizza because it's unhealthy, and it's expensive here in Japan. I get that, but it's a taste of my home country that I love, as she knows. I found a coupon and she gave me permission to buy it and bring it back for our dinner tomorrow. I'm going to order a large not because it's a good value but because I like eating a lot of pizza. Apparently a large pizza in his area normally costs 3500 yen or about $35, and they don't own a "proper" oven to bake their own. Still a lot of pettiness going on between these two.

AITA for making fun of my boyfriend's penis Upfront, my boyfriend has an awesome penis. Its not huge or anything, about seven inches (we measured) and fairly girthy- but it is really, really- even comically small when its flaccid (like 2 inches). In the privacy our relationship, I playfully make fun of it all the time and he doesn't mind because he knows that he pleases me in bed. However, he has complained in the past about how much he hates "locker room moments" when other dudes see it and assume he is hung like a grape even though he is not. So the other night we were having dinner with friends and played a game where we pull word cues out of a hat. One of the cues was something like, "things that are short" and I write down, "my boyfriend's penis". They were all read aloud and when its revealed that I wrote that particular answer the room explodes in laughter. My boyfriend tries to brush it off "oh you got me! Ha ha" and laughs with everyone else, then one of my boyfriend's male friends (who he goes to the gym with) slaps him on the back and tells him "oh we've all seen it, we still love you, bro!" more laughter. After we get back to his place, my boyfriend tells me that it bothers him that his friends think of him as the small guy because all they had seen is his flaccid penis in the locker room. He said that they've made fun of him in the past and he has had to brush it off for years because he feels that denying it would make a bigger deal out of it than it is and has to silently take it. He said that by making that joke, all I have done was reinforce the perception and that it will just fuel the teasing. He wasn't mad, just disappointed. He said that he would never make fun of me if I had something unappealing about my body because he would never want to give me a negative impression about myself, that he would tell me I was beautiful no matter what. I felt really, really bad when he said that. I have apologized and things are fine now but I think that maybe he is blowing this out of proportion? Am I the rear end in a top hat or should he maybe not take this so seriously?

AITA for refusing to donate sperm for my sister and her wife?quote:Background, I'm 25, my sister is 30 and her partner is also 30. Obviously, my sister is a lesbian. I am also gay (how lucky are our parents haha) We are extremely close, always have been, she's always been there for me and want the best for her. So my sister got married to her partner last year. I'm obviously happy for them and hope they achieve everything they want together, but recently I got caught in a dilemma. During a dinner I was invited to, big sis told me that she wants to start a family, and asked me to donate sperm so they could get pregnant (I'm just gonna emphasise here, the sperm would be going into my sister in-law, NOT my sister). To her this was the best idea, since this way their baby would have both their genes, just a roundabout way of ensuring that they're both biologically related to the kid. She went on about how this'll be perfect and how she'd be so grateful if I helped her, I think in her mind, I of course would say yes.. but I'm really, uncomfortable with the whole idea. I thought about it intensely overnight, and I hate it.

A japanese home/apartment with an actual oven large enough to handle an american pizza is relatively rare and yeah even a dominos pizza could run you that here. The issue is he writes like hes 6 years old and even though in his writing his wife is being unreasonable I hate him so much and want him to stop writing and believe hes probably in the wrong and his wife should be meaner to him.

Gummy bears claim another victim AITA because my boyfriend's (21) grandma (85) ate some of my cannabis edibles? I live in a state with legal marijuana. I left some gummy bears in my and my boyfriends bedroom like I always do because we live alone. He brought his grandma over while I worked (I do nights) and came home around 6 am to an empty house. Come to find out, my boyfriend took her to the emergency room because she started behaving strangely and believed she was having some kind of panic or heart attack. They are still at the hospital now because they admitted her to find out what's wrong. I got home and ate a gummy and noticed that only 6 of the 9 I had were still there. Three gummys is enough to trip balls and I'm pretty sure that it was her bc my boyfriend is in the military and can't smoke or eat edibles. I know if I tell him he's gonna be mad so im making this post preemptively. AITA for leaving these gummies in my own nightstand even if they possibly caused this fiasco?

Greeks are Turks and Turks are Greeks. They're basically impossible to tell apart after centuries of the ottoman empire. Eastern Turkey is basically the opening scene of Borat, but with mountains, longer knives and more gunfire.
