Anne Whateley posted:Well that's a ludicrous level of aggression out of nowhere. I asked a question of the thread, because there could easily be a case that locals would be aware of that wasn't showing up for me from a google. If you don't know something, feel free not to answer it! Not sure why you got hit with such unnecessary aggression for asking, it was a pretty obvious and mundane follow-up question. I don't have the stats, there have been a few high profile cases which got media attention, but for what it's worth, it almost doesn't matter about the particulars of the actual law. NZ has an absolutely insane level of domestic violence and has a real cultural problem around substance abuse and violence in general. The law brought the whole debate into the public light, enough for an (imo) noticeable shift in culture from "turn the other way/stay out of other peoples problems" to more "you can't hit your kid anymore". The obvious counter argument about "my kids, my right" is much weaker, there is knowledge that if someone sees it, they have the power to call the cops (whether anything happens and they get charge is another question). Also fwiw, I wasn't "boasting" about the law, honestly it's like the absolute bare minimum that should be brought in everywhere. But I also strongly disagree with your defeatist attitude, just because cops are poo poo doesn't mean we shouldn't try to improve/implement laws. Even if they are fairly mundane or toothless, they can still provide some utility to society.

AITA if I don't donate all or even part of my inheritance (about $725,000)? My cousin say's it's "blood money" and claims she's donating 100% of her share.quote:Using a throwaway since money is involved here. Lots of background and doing my best to keep it under 3000 words. Pay off your student loans, keep a portion for medical emergencies, don't listen to your racist family still living in South Africa

gently caress that keep it all. gently caress the cousin and her sanctimonious bullshit just because she doesn't need it Also there is zero information on where the money came from. "Business in South Africa during apartheid" doesn't really say anything. so whatever who cares

Commenting on this because I live near Rancho Santa Fe. For those not in the know, it's a very wealthy, old money, part of San Diego county. Low end of home prices are 2 million, going up to 15-20 million. Cousin, who lives in RSF and most likely is very well off herself, is demanding OP to give up the money that would help her greatly. Said Cousin can go stick her head in a blender and switch on max speed.

Gone Fashing posted:gently caress that keep it all. gently caress the cousin and her sanctimonious bullshit just because she doesn't need it I mean chances are they do know what it's from and if it's that bad yeah there's a decent moral argument for not keeping it. They mention they didn't grow up "as well off" but I highly doubt they didn't grow up privileged as gently caress and if good ol' granddad and grandma were true apartheid supporters until the day their racist asses kicked off they probably did some pretty lovely things to their workers stateside as well. Pay off your loans or whatever but that money doesn't belong to you, it belongs to the people your family poo poo on for decades to get it.

AITA for not supporting my friend in something that goes against my morals? (Reading Yuri) Hi I've never made a post on reddit and this is probably going to get some negative feedback but I just really need to know if iata Okay, so I've been friends with this guy for about a year or two. We are both perverts who delight in adorably cute things. Recently he keeps saying TMI things about his own "explorations". It's kinda been too much? I've said it makes me uncomfortable but I think he thinks I'm joking. Today he told me he was reading Reverse Yuri (A girl is dressed up as a guy and is revealed to be a girl). He said it "Make mi pp go wo". And I'm just like "okay...?" Previously I thought he and I had the same beliefs around homosexuality, but I guess he's okay with it and he said he was lying back then, that this is his true self, his final form. Anyways, he says "Yuri is happiness" and I reply "Not to me X3" he says I'm missing out, and I reply that I'm missing out on a lot of things (as in I believe in a lot of things people think are okay but I choose not to do because of what I believe). He tells me that "just saying, its really cute" and I say "one can get the same level of cuteness from other things, just saying". Basically he keeps saying different things that make me uncomfortable, and it feels like he isn't the same person when I first met him. What he says next really gets me: "Sam (name changed) supports it" Sam is also a lesbian who doesn't have the same morals as I do. However, Sam is actually my best friend. We respect each other's beliefs and don't let that get in the way of our friendship. Honestly, she's the best thing that's happened to me since I moved to another state. Anyways, just because Sam is fine with it doesn't automatically mean I'm okay with it too. So I just say "good for you and Sam" and after that, I kinda slide out of the DMs and ignore him because I'm feeling really uncomfortable. I don't know, I feel like an rear end. Mostly because of 1. I gave short replies of "good for you" "happy for you" "good for you accepting yourself" which in my opinion can seem pretty rude 2. Sam was more supportive than I was of his Yuri reading 3. Maybe I forced my opinion on him? 4. I ignored him after 5. I basically told him I'm not okay with what he's doing (but I also said I'm glad he's doing what he wants to do? idk) Guys Idek I just feel really bad and awkward about it, am I an rear end?

AITA for charging people money for prayers that I don’t actually carry out. So, I was 16 at the time, wanting to earn some money on the side so I could save up for a camera. I came across the infamous Fiverr website, posted a couple of gigs in which I would offer to edit videos/pictures for people but I would extremely rarely get an order. I started spreading the variety of gigs that I offer (poster creation/advert making/website designs/logo making/etc) when I came upon an account which sold “I will pray for you using (some kind of weirdly named technique) to increase health and wealth” so I thought to myself, hmmm, why don’t I do this? So I set up the gig, titled, “I will pray for your wealth and health using ancient prayer technique”. After only a day I had 2 orders!! Prices started from £10 all the way to £70. I made about £50 that first week. People would message me about what specifically they would want me to pray for them for and I would reply with a sentence or two explaining that I had prayed when in reality I just sat on my bed counting how much closer I was to buying my new camera. I made about £250 until I gave up as business began to slow down. In my head, I do think I am an rear end in a top hat to some extent but after talking to some friends I’m not sure, my friends said: You received money, win, they received the thought that someone had prayed for them, win. Everybody wins. There was a demand and you brought the supply. No one was hurt and everyone came out happy. If anything you did a positive thing as you made others happy. So, Reddit, I ask you, am I the rear end in a top hat?

Midnight Voyager posted:I don't resent my son or my wife, it just bothers me every single moment of my life that he doesn't love me like he loves my wife. We were visiting my SiL and family and she had to go on an overnight trip for work which was no problem because we were watching the kids for fun/practice anyway. When my BiL got home and mommy didn't, it was like a loving switch had been thrown. The 3 year old became a completely different child and was an unholy terror. The same thing happened later that week when she was working until 8. My BiL was thrilled that we were there to witness this happening because my SiL didn't believe him. The 1 year old loves everyone in the universe.

So she either loses her relationship with you or you tell her that she needs to cut those heinous people out of her life because of this hosed up poo poo they pulled. If she doesn't think they did anything wrong or hosed up to her then because she doesn't have a strong enough sense of self to be with.

You know how it would be absolutely crushing for a child to learn that their parents actually have a favorite and it's not them? I imagine it's the same situation in reverse.

AITA for not standing up for my daughter when my wife got mad at her? Today, my daughter worked late, until 9:30 PM or so. She does educational consulting and tutoring part time. She left her charger at work, so I had to drive back and get it. She said that later than she could have, so I had to drive further in the dark. I have also recently had cataract surgery. My wife has always been anxious and tends to overexaggerate the negative, so she started screaming at my daughter, "THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU TAKE A GAP SEMESTER. GO TO [COLLEGE TOWN] AND NEVER COME BACK! IF YOU HADN'T COME BACK WE WOULDN'T NEED TO DEAL WITH THIS!" I assume she was probably nervous about me driving in the dark after recently having cataract surgery. Moreover, my wife witnessed a horrific and fatal car accident on the way to work. While I understand that my wife was overreacting; like c'mon; it's just a charger, and we didn't have to drive that much further. It's pretty harsh to tell someone (your own kid) not to come back home just because she forgot her charger. However, I wasn't pleased by how my daughter responded by bringing up stuff from the past and ways that her mom had previously wronged her (my wife has always put a ton of pressure on my daughter to succeed academically and outside the classroom, so my daughter became very anxious and stressed all the time), so I didn't stand up for her. I instead told my kid to stop talking back to her mom and to stop speaking in such a bratty, entitled tone. The next day, I told my daughter to just discount everything her mom says when she's angry and to just think independently for herself (i.e. whether or not what her mom says is true or not). I believe that I'm instilling solid conflict resolution and confidence skills in my kid this way. I firmly believe that she needs to learn that sometimes, you just can't change other people, including your own mom, and that she needs to stand up for herself. Admittedly, it was also hard for me to choose sides and to tell my wife her faults because I honestly love my wife more than I love my daughter. While my kid has brought a lot of joy to our lives, my wife is my equal and has the capacity to be much more supportive than my kid ever could. But I didn't want to bring this type of bias into THEIR argument. However, when I relied all of this to a friend, he told me that I should have stuck up for my daughter (who only forgot a charger and didn't do anything worse), or at least told both my wife and daughter that they needed to work on their communication skills. AITA?

OOF. I was giving be the benefit of the doubt a little bit because of the fatal and horrifying car accident the wife witnessed on the way to work which might have left here just a little bit shaken and irrational, but it seems like these are hell-parents who think a child a day over 18 should be grateful for their parents even acknowledging they exist (and the ones under 18 should know the parents only look after them because they are legally required to do so) ah crap, missed this bit: quote:I honestly love my wife more than I love my daughter. While my kid has brought a lot of joy to our lives, my wife is my equal and has the capacity to be much more supportive than my kid ever could "I mean, sure my kid is fine I guess, but what has that bitch ever done for MY benefit HUH?!?!".

I can’t even relate to the premise of some of these stories. Why couldn’t the daughter drive back herself to get the charger? She probably also has a car charger too? And don’t most homes have a drawer full of chargers left over from old devices?
