You are the rear end in a top hat for not taking the opportunity to hold a caper where you get them all to find and bring the culprit before you so you can personally execute them.

Dienes posted:Doubtful - he had a gf who supported him while he was developing the game and I believe they are engaged or married now. Ladies really deserve a lot of credit here. Every one of the stories about some wannabe game developer or esports star or musician always includes how they were unconditionally supportive for some period of time, several months at least. Then they want to see some evidence, which is perfectly reasonable by that point. They want to see some subscriber numbers or a playable demo and some art assets or entry in a tournament with a significant amount of money on the line. something to indicate progress. It was probably obvious Stardew Valley guy was actually creating something after like 2 weeks. At some point his partner was probably like "who knows how much money this game will make, but he is at some point in the reasonably near future actually going to finish an actual real game". At that point you're still taking a risk, but you're not supporting a parasite who plays games and jerks off all day. Seems like almost any woman would support that kind of effort, honestly. The r/relationships posts come after it has become clear that the dream ain't happening ever.

"I'm writing a book" "How much do you have written?" "Oh I'm still gathering ideas" vs "250 pages give or take, but I'm shooting for 475. I expect to be ready for an outside editing pass in 6 months. Hopefully."

I’m pretty sure the Stardew guy was also holding down a regular job while he was working on his project. So not exactly a leech on his partner during the creative process.

My girlfriends best guy friend keeps confessing his love for her, it's starting to irritate me. Am I doing the right thing? Hello Ladies and Gents. I'm a (22, Male) I've been dating my girlfriend (20, Female) for the last couple of months and so far everything is going pretty well. Except my girlfriends best friend is a guy (28, Male) and he keeps trying to get with her and it's starting to annoy me, I find it disrespectful and am not sure how to handle it. My girlfriend met this guy a couple of months before she met me, they've been friends ever since. When we first started daiting she told me she'd never have any feelings for him because of how attached and overwhelming he is. Well after we started dating he has just gotten worse. I tried to be friends with the guy because I felt bad for him, he doesn't have much of a social life and doesn't know to act around people. I've tried setting him up on dates with other girls and he refuses to see anyone else. He told me he would just use them for sex, so I stopped trying for obvious reasons. My girlfriend told me the other day he told her he loves her and that he will never be in a relationship with anyone else because of how much he loves her, he said she's the most beautiful girl he's ever seen and can't see himself with anyone else. He told her he'd wait for her. (He said this after I dropped her off for the night). He gets upset anytime he sees us together or kiss. He takes her out to dinner all of the time, always buys gifts for her, and flowers anytime I'm not around. She's told him multiple times that she's not interested in him and never will be, she told him "I hope you like waiting, because I'll never be yours". She's asked him to stop pursuing her because she's with me and it stresses her out and makes her uncomfortable but he won't stop. He spends every second of everyday with her (I'm American, she's Canadian) so I only get to see her once if not twice a week max. She hangs out with him all of the time, and I trust her. I just don't know if I should say anything to him or keep my mouth shut and only speak up if my girlfriend askes me to. As it stands I haven't said anything to him about it, I've been super cool about the whole thing. But it's starting to irritate me more than anything. Not to mention he's becoming more and more hostile towards me. I told her she might want to stop hanging out with him so much so that he can start getting the message but she won't because she feels bad for him. Just looking for some input, thank you. And Merry Christmas, hope you guys have a good holiday (= TL:dr Girlfriends best guy friend keeps confessing his love for her because of how beautiful she is. He knows that my GF is dating me but won't stop his over bearing advances. She keeps shooting him down but he won't stop. It's starting to irritate me because I find it disrespectful. So far I haven't said anything, how should I continue?

AITA for telling my friend that her baby name is not original at all, and in fact is very common? I (21f) have a 'friend' who is pregnant with a little girl. This girl is a friend of a friend, so I see her at a lot of social events. I have never really liked her, because the first time we met she told me that I'm 'not punk enough' to have tattoos on my arms, and she has made various comments on my style (I think I'm quite grunge-punk, she's quite goth), and she comes across very 'not like other girls'. When she got pregnant, we were all happy for her. One of the first things she said is that she is thinking really hard about getting a unique baby name, one that no other kids she meets will have. Cool, I was interested to find out what she'd pick. She announces a few weeks later that her baby will be called Aurora-Leigh. I was a bit confused as Aurora is in the top 100 baby names for where I live, and has been for a few years. She spent the whole night asking around the table if anyone knew a girl called Aurora. She kept butting into other conversations to ask, and when someone was telling a story about someone they work with, she interrupted to say 'I bet her name wasn't Aurora'. I was getting quite annoyed because it is literally such a common name these days. If she had picked an actually unsual name, I think it would have still been annoying, but this just made it worse. The time came where she asked me if I know any Auroras. I tried to avoid the question, I said 'it doesn't matter, it's a nice name'. She rolled her eyes and asked again. I work in a daycare and I know of FOUR Auroras who come in often. I told her this and she called me a liar. So I googled most common baby names of this year, and showed her that Aurora was on there this year. And every year for the past 6 years. She basically started sobbing and said I was jealous of her and she left. I was there like what the gently caress, and a couple of my friends said I should just apologise, and that I went overboard showing her all the baby name lists. AITA?

What type of lawyer deals with exhuming graves? u/nyhmthetim16h quote:Title says all. Specifically with the state of Virginia, US. Someone asks for clarification: quote:Are you in trouble with the police for having exhumed a grave, or do you want to convince the authorities to exhume a grave? If it's the latter, why? quote:Unless I'm sleepwalking into graveyards and digging up random graves, I'm certainly not in trouble with the police. I am the direct biological descendant of a certain someone, and I want to dig up his remains so I can give it a DNA analysis so I can get a clearer picture of my genetic/cultural heritage. From what I've found online, Virginian Law says that I legally can do it, so why not get some closure? Also it'll be an excuse for a roadtrip and some fun. I say do it. What’s the worst that could happen?

I (16F) beat my brother (15M) in a wrestling match in front of his friends. My brother had friends over for a sleep over and I was watching tv in the living room. He wanted to use the living room and was basically trying to kick me out, I wasn't having it cause I have a right to the living room like he does. He then said he could beat me up and get me out of here. (quick backstory:Me and him used to wrestle ALL THE TIME, while we don't anymore I have never lost to him and even now I'm still better at wrestling than anyone in my family that includes my older brother, sister and him). I basically challenged him to a wrestling match if he was so certain. So we move the furniture and get it on, it was close for a minute but I made him tap with a headlock. All his friends were laughing and making fun of him to losing to a girl. I felt bad cause thats just not cool and I told them "he's stronger than all you and I just easily handled him, any of y'all want to try your luck? They all went silent after that and they were in his room for the rest of the night lol My brother is mad at me for beating him and "embarrassing" him in front of his friends, I told him to not threaten me then. He got more annoyed at that and said something like "couldn't even let me win once huh? Even when I had friends around?" I had enough and just blatantly said don't pick fights you can't win then and walked away. I am just confused by this whole mess cause if he didn't want to lose in front of his friends he shouldn't have challenged me. Also you don't start fights you can't win. But thoughts on what to do? TL;DR:My brother challenged me to a wrestling match and when I beat him he got all butthurt cause his friends witnessed it

Seems like he was hoping his sister would think "Gosh, I don't want to embarrass him in front of his friends by showing how it's possible for women to be stronger then men, I'll just lose" and he got pissy when she decided "Nope, I'm going to kick your rear end if you want to start a dumb fight."

AITA for jumping out of a bathroom window to avoid my mom’s attempt at forcing a reunion between me and my ex fiancé? Some backstory: I had been dating my ex fiancé Sarah for four years. We had been planning to get married in November 2020 but I found out at the start of this month that she cheated on me. She begged me to give her another chance but I broke it off. The problem was that being cheated on is, in my mind, completely emasculating and humiliating. So I never told anyone that was the reason we broke up. For obvious reasons, Sarah also didn’t tell people we broke up because she cheated. So people have “blamed” me for the breakup, including my mom. They just see that I dumped her out of the blue. I’ve gone very strict no contact with Sarah after I discovered she was cheating on me. Sarah has been talking with my mom and has convinced her that if we could talk one more time, we would be able to reconcile. My mom has been applying hard core pressure on me to talk with Sarah but I’ve explained that there’s no chance we will ever get back together. So tonight I go over to my mom’s place because she’s hosting family for Christmas Eve. I’m there for a bit talking with my aunts and uncles and cousins when the doorbell rings and I can see it’s Sarah. I ask wtf is going on and my mom says she invited Sarah so we can work this out in the spirit of the holidays. I’m pissed now because the only way to explain my side of the story is to tell everyone I was cheated on. Complete humiliation in front of my whole family. So as my mom goes to the front door, I go into the bathroom. My mom starts knocking on the door saying that I need to come out and talk to my ex like an adult. I say gently caress it, kick out the window screen and get in my car and go home. My mom called a short while ago saying she’s cutting ties with me over my behavior (she’s really fixated on me jumping out of a window) and that Sarah will always be like a child to her. My sister called me after to ream me out for ruining Christmas. I broke down and told her that Sarah cheated on me which is why I dumped her and didn’t want to see her under any circumstances. She called me a big rear end in a top hat who was lying to cover for myself. Am I really in the wrong?

If I was ever single again I'd like to date a tall woman, I've never dated one taller than about 5ft 6 just by coincidence so it would make a nice change.

I feel the sibling who has their friends over for a sleepover can justifiably claim priority over use of the living room, but it's very much a "do me a solid and I'll pay you back later" situation, not a "let's have a weird impromptu WWF match" situation.
