would mean he is working for the sketchiest, most dangerous, unregulated shoot possible
That's how I reacted, and it'd certainly down OP's interpretation of where they get money.

Like 99% of porn is raw, to the point where studios fight hard against condom mandates because it sells so much worse. I'm sure any company or business shooting porn would pay for birth control if that was an issue, or give out Plan B like candy on sets.
It's extremely unlikely that story is true, because for the BIL to somehow get 2 women pregnant while filming porn it would mean he is working for the sketchiest, most dangerous, unregulated shoot possible and he's likely got a boatload of STDs. "My husband is a sex worker" still doesn't sound believable to explain how you end up with two babies.
a dazzler story to get everyone to shut up, need to dig deeper

AITA for telling my aunt to ”flash those tits” for a family group photo?quote:
Okay so first This is a throwawayaccount, writing on a cellphone, English isn't my first language. Also want to say I think or feel I am the rear end in a top hat Here But considering my mothers reaction I want it up for judgement.
So background first. I am what you can call fat (working on it, But still a long way to go). I've always been large and I’ve always had what you call a babyface. It's something I've been bullied for growing up so it's a sensitive topic in general.
My aunt is an individual who likes to get her way. If She doesn't She Will push until it goes her way. She is also the kind of person who likes jokes on others ' expense, But Never her own. If someone would joke about her she will be sulky or Tell them off. I Am not fond of her due to be a target of her many ”jokes” over the years, mainly for being big.
Now to the event itself. We were celebrating my grandmother's Birthday this weekend (everyone vaccinated dw) and all my cousins (not her Children) , uncles, aunt ans their spouses were there. My aunt was hosting. Everyone except my sister who just last week had a baby. She had an infection and with RS virus and covid, She was still at the hospital and could not attend. Which is a shame because my nephew was the first great Grandchild.
So it was decided we would send her a copy of our yearly family photo. When we were setting up the shoot, my aunt said she had planned something. She comes out with a big toddler cap and a pacifier Saying that I should wear it and use the pacifier, sitting in the front, as a fun gesture to my sister. I was pretty horrified and said ”No way”!
My aunt just replied ”yes you will, it Will be fun”, when I said no a second time this time with emphasis, She raised her voice Saying ”Don't be difficult Op, come on put it on”! My mother just sighed and said to just indulge her knowing my aunt will push until I do.
Well, Here is the thing, I Don't know what I was thinking But I said: ”Ok, I’ll do it If you go topless and pretend to breastfeed me.” Everyone went quiet, my aunt's eyes went wide and just said: ”excuse me” in a very offended tone.
I followed up with a ”come on, flash those tits”! And all hell broke loose, my cousins giggling, my mother and aunt stood choking with their mouths Open. My aunts husband shouted out: ”wtf did you just said to my wife, get the f*ck out of my house”!
More than happy to comply, I took my car keys and left, accidently leaving my parents to a $60 cab bill, Since I was their lift. When my mom and that came home my mum was furious and said she had Never been more embarrassed and I needed to apologize, Which I just shook my head at Saying I wont, She deserved it imo. She grounded me (not that she can sinceI Am 18+) and have not spoken to me since, my aunt also kicked me out of our whatsapp group and facebook group. So I need outside perspective on things.
So there you have it AITA for telling my aunt to flash her tits?

Even if you believe the OP isn't fakeposting, isn't it much more likely the BIL was cheating and made up the porn thing as cover?

Reddit OP posted:The second woman was a client not a coworker, but from what I could gather the first woman is prolife? For herself? Apparently she had another baby she put up for adoption a few years prior, because she got pregnant on the job.
I'll ask a friend of mine. He is well versed in porn and has never met my BIL. Although I'm not even sure if its was porn. She never specified, I just assumed.
Tweren't porn. Or at least, not just porn.

This is from a few pages ago, but in case anyone wanted to read that:
quote:
I was the biggest “octo” mom ever, also helicopter mom.
My whole life was about my kids; that’s why it was inconceivable to me that 2 out of 3 did this to me.
My first reaction was complete disbelief: this was my life, self esteem, my heart, my soul.
I was nothing: never lived, invisable, dead without my kids. I always loved the saying, “never, ever, never let anyone take away your sparkel.” So many mean, jealous tried to; but my response was, “I live a happy life and couldn’t care less about your opinion.”
I was told by many that my happiness sparkled through my eyes. I knew I was in trouble when I had to practice my smile in the mirror when they left. I wont go through it all, but two of my kids were by far the cruelest people—along with their husbands—I had ever seen. When i took them places, in my mind I counted “1, 2, 3” all night, making sure they never left my sight. No spankings, no punishments, just life lessons. We spent every dime giving them huge birthday and holiday parties; nothing too much, all were invited.
Then these dirt politicians started their lies, and the truth was not in their history books: not what I lived through. They began seeing us as evil, although they were bowing to evil. We always said, “agree to disagree,” which did not suit them. We were just evil. They left us, and blocked me not on one, but two of my birthdays. In layman’s terms, they killed us. My dr. says this is doing irrepable damage to their children, who we had a loving relationship with. They dont care: they are cruel, hateful, and heartless. Also, I was humiliated, as they were the most important in my life. I pray, my message is they will open their eyes and return apoligetically.
I dont know why, but I just can’t do this anymore.
I’ve endured holidays, birthdays, and mother’s days; for some reason I can’t do this one. I just can’t. It’s over for me. I can endure any more heartbreak; since they threw us out, I have developed heart problems (two types of meds), an anyerism, and most recently, lyme desease (which I was told I had had way too long: my bones kill me).
I sleep until 2. After all tests were done on me, I was put on hydrochloroquine and pain medas (25 vials of blood), and ex rays on every joint. It is fatal—cannot be cured at my age—but with my meds, it is manageable.
Several drs said i was sick and could die from a broken heart. I take my meds and remove myself from any upsetting situation i can. This is pure evil, taking of all things, your most precious posession: my kids. I know God will swoop in and save the day, but this mother’s day seems to be my breaking point.
To first-born daughter, your husband clearly abuses you: we know how. And, by the way, sleep deprivation and nooo privacy can get anyone. And your kids love us; what evil thing did you tell them? The devil laughs at your weak soul.
To my second, who has always walked away from anyone, all the time, never looking back: this epidemic is suited to you, even though you were the sweetest, best, beautiful daughter we could have wished for. The evil in you is unhideable.
I pray every day and night for both of your redemption as you follow evil, while playing an act. And after all this, we still love you unconditionally. Guess, try as we did, you went off with evil as soon as you saw it. My only wish: for your salavation.
To my youngest: I knew from conception you were an(d) old, wise soul sent to save us. You have, many times. I know you have a high place in heaven. Thank you for your love, support, and caring heart: it is irreplacable.
I tried not to change too much aside from just punctuation, capitalization, and spacing.

"Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces"
Malachi 2:3

Hasn't it been that way forever for part time work? I'm almost 40 and I got my first job at age 14.
Yeah the rest of your post tracks though.
The what now?
I can see how the wording of my post was ambiguous. Please allow me to rephrase. What I meant was "aside from agricultural jobs (which have always been able to flat out ignore child labor laws with no minimum age required for workers) a handful of red states have begun to drag the legal working age for children from 16 to 14 in the food service sphere:"
Children 14--17 can indeed work in restaurants part-time as long as it doesn't cause them to be truant or whatever, yeah. They're not normally allowed to work in other kinds of jobs which is why you don't see a 14 year old ring you up at target or whatever, but this is being quickly eroded because we will never get another federal minimum wage hike.
This update is, uh, not what I was guessing:
Okay, I know we try not to cry fake but this is just the most egregiously fake poo poo I've ever seen for a number of easily provable reasons which I am compelled to talk about.
Like 99% of porn is raw, to the point where studios fight hard against condom mandates because it sells so much worse. I'm sure any company or business shooting porn would pay for birth control if that was an issue, or give out Plan B like candy on sets.
It's extremely unlikely that story is true, because for the BIL to somehow get 2 women pregnant while filming porn it would mean he is working for the sketchiest, most dangerous, unregulated shoot possible and he's likely got a boatload of STDs. "My husband is a sex worker" still doesn't sound believable to explain how you end up with two babies.
Even if the guy somehow works for the world's most irresponsible illegal underground lovely porn studio around, he in addition to this has sex with women while not being filmed and they too insist on him blasting rope into them without a net and without being on bc? Bullshit!
What are these mentions in the story of this "explaining how they have so much money" doing in there? You know who makes poo poo money? Sex workers, especially porn actors. It's also one of the only industries where men are generally paid less than women. Ask any guy who's been in a porn, he maybe made $500. You're not feeding yourself for that much, much less a wife and two bastard children.
You know what's loving expensive? IVF. You know who can't afford it? Sex workers. You think they have health insurance? Even if he has some shoestring coverage from the studio, you think it covers that? No way.
Finally, and in my view, the most damning argument against this being a thing that happened, two women being impregnated on the set of a porno shoot (ys I know the second one was an unrelated client, whatever) by an extremely unlikely series of impossible happenstances is literally the plot of "moon over june" and is the story behind the conception of the titular characters.
I love this post though, it's certainly the most outrageous story in recent memory. This is the fun kind of fake.
Even if you believe the OP isn't fakeposting, isn't it much more likely the BIL was cheating and made up the porn thing as cover?
So he told his wife, apparently the dumbest person in the world, that instead of impregnating two unrelated women who fobbed their babies onto him through infidelity, he got one on the set of a porn and the other while being paid to have sex with her recreationally, and this would... make his wife more forgiving of him? Wild. I love it.

AITA for lying to a cashier that my grandmother is dying?
quote:Alright so I go to this store for snacks alone and go to other store for actual groceries. The store I go to for snacks is a shitter store and usually only has one cashier working. The same cashier is working every time I go in (I only go there like once every 2 weeks).
Recently when I walk in the store she makes stupid comments like "snacks today?", I just ignore her because she's been making the same comments over and over every time I walk in and it's loving annoying and embarrassing.
So this situation happened yesterday and I brought my stuff to be rung up and she says to another person in line "this is the person who comes in to buy snacks" I kinda lost it and sighed real loud and said "my grandma is in the hostpial dying and I've been trying to buy her favorite snacks before she dies" the cashier shut up real fast and stopped talking about it. I ended up telling my brother about that and he was pissed about it saying "you just jinxed it" I tried to affirm him that stuff isn't real and grandma will be fine. But he's still pissed about it so I think I'm the rear end in a top hat. Invisible Clergy fucked around with this message at 22:18 on Nov 24, 2021

It IS kinda weird to tell another customer "hey this person is going to BUY SNACKS!" Like bringing another person into this, especially another random customer, is just weird. Is it that fascinating to you, cashier? Buying snacks?

AITA for lawyering up?
quote:I have my own business and recently decided to upscale into a large building (I run a performing arts school, so need quite a few large rooms.)
I found the perfect building with all the essentials I’d need, and high enough ceilings for stunts and stage combat routines. I asked all the necessary questions about pricing etc and it was all fine.
The building hadn’t been used in roughly 10 years, so there was quite a bit of mould and damp, and it looked like a Bomb site. I didn’t care as I was going to redecorate the entire thing anyway, including exterior. The only thing I asked him to get checked was the structure, (floors, walls, window sealing, basement, roof and pipes) the outside window sills were flaking off so I asked if he could either chip it all away or fix it (it’s a three story building so there would need to be permits and scaffolding involved to do either of those things and I have no experience with what would need doing) and the last thing was that he provide all the legalities on his end in a folder for me to keep locked away.
Everything was done and I bought the building. I got everything up to code ready for the inspection and when the inspector was looking around he fell through the wall! Through the downstairs wall!
It turns out that a pipe had burst behind the wall and crumbled it. Instead of fixing it, or even mentioning it to me, the old landlord covered it with plasterboard! He hid it!
Fixing the wall would cost tens of thousands and I’d need to rip it all out and build in a new one. It would not be within my price range to do that, and he said that it was not his responsibility when I asked if he would subsidise it.
My lawyer informed me that I could either sue for the repairs or completely reverse the sale, and then sue for the money I spent on all the decorating and refurbishment.
I told him I was planning on suing but that I was leaning towards reversing the sale. He said I was being unreasonable and doing so would put him back into debt.
AITA?
oh no you should definitely take the prior landlord's advice because ... .... ... ???

AITA for kicking my BIL out after he referred to himself as the father of my child?
quote:I know the title is a bit… off, but let me explain. Me (30 F) and my wife (29 F) welcomed our son into this world a year ago, both of our families are very accepting of us but my wife’s family has this weird obsession with “passing on the family genes”, which made adopting out of the question very early on. Me and my wife have always wanted a to start a family but things got difficult when my wife found out she was infertile, we knew her family would be understanding but i am TERRIFIED of pregnancy, from what i have been told im almost physically identical to my bio mom who died during child birth so that has led me to believe i wouldn’t hold a pregnancy very well.
After a few months of brainstorming and let down, MIL suggested that we do IVF, using my eggs and my BIL’s sperm, and let my wife carry the baby. I was skeptical at first but gave in because the plan hit all marks, her family get their genes “passed on”, My wife and i get to start a family, and i don’t have to carry the baby. The procedure was a bit expensive but my wife’s grandma happily covered the cost since our baby would be the first of the new generation in their family.
Everything went great, my wife loved being pregnant (aside from the morning sickness) and we were more than overjoyed to welcome our baby boy in the winter. The problem arose last week, we were preparing for my sons first birthday when BIL made a comment about how he should get a say in the planning as the child’s father. I was shocked. I cringed and told him that he wasn’t, he just provided the sperm, he looked me straight in the eye and said “yeah, so he’s our child”.
I looked to my wife whose mouth was wide open and MIL wasn’t making eye contact. Before he could say anything else i demanded that he get out of my house and that he’d be able to come to the party when he apologized, he got angry but left when my wife started to cry. My wife has always struggled with self esteem and her infertility really took a toll on her, for months i had to constantly reassure her that she an amazing mother and that she wasn’t “wrong” (she faced a lot of homophobia and misogyny growing up)
SIL called me later that day and called me a bitch, I argue that BIL had no right saying any of that but SIL just kept yelling. Me and my wife have cut all contact with her family, it’s turned into something bigger than it needs to be but i refuse to let someone call my family incomplete again. call me dramatic but I grew up with family in and out and never knowing who is “real family” and i refuse to let the same happen to my son.
EDIT: BIL signed away his rights and verbally agreed multiple times that he’s just an uncle. He’s never had a problem until now and it’s kinda out of the blue. If he was starting to feel more of a connection to my son then i’d understand if he calmly spoke to my wife and i instead of staking claim. i’ve reached out to BIL a few times looking for a reason but he has just thrown insults to my wife and i.
My wife is devastated over loosing contact but neither of us want to forgive BIL until he apologizes. So… am i the rear end in a top hat?
Edit: We don’t know where MIL stands, she’s expressed that BIL was out of line but has also said that he is technically the father. MIL steps out once she senses any conflict, that’s why she wasn’t making any contact. BIL has signed a contract that he is nothing more than a sperm donor.
Edit: Also, SIL is my wife’s sister, not BIL’s wife, BIL’s wife isn’t in close contact with us so i’m not sure she even knows what’s going on.

Mookie of Dominic Deegan fame(?) has just drawn a sex scene in his sequel comic. I bet that'd shock Moon Over June out of your head!

My wife and I had our first child this summer. Mom refused to get vaccinated, a fight ensued, and now we haven't spoken in months. It feels horrible and I am starting to question if I made the right decision.
quote:
TL;DR at the bottom.
My (25M) wife (29F) and I had our first child in August. She's a beautiful baby girl and we love her to death. Our doctors and nurses were all incredible. Really everyone was incredible, except my mom (F61).
Some background: my mom has been very into conspiracy theories ever since I was in middle school. Anything ranging from Coast to Coast to Alex Jones, it's her thing. In fact, 3 Christmases ago, she was positive that Jesus was coming and that the rapture would come on Christmas morning. She even managed to convince my sister (F33), so they just decided to not get presents or put up any decorations because "we won't be here to enjoy any of it anyway!"
So naturally, when Covid happened, she was anti-mask, and now that the vaccine is here, she's antivax. She never used to be that way. She totally believes in the vaccination of kids and all that, its just the covid vaccine that she doesn't trust. We had a couple disagreements prior to my daughter's arrival regarding the vaccine; I had told her that if she doesn't get vaccinated, she may not get tot see her granddaughter, but she had said that she would just cross that bridge when we get to it. I had just assumed that she would prioritize getting to have a relationship with her granddaughter over her dear conspiracy theories... you know, like a normal human being would.
I guess I was wrong. Near the end of September, she had only met her granddaughter once, the day after she was born. She had texted me something about God protecting us from any harm and I had responded (I'm agnostic but I had to speak her language):
"You know what that means though, right? God gave us all of the incredibly talented scientists and doctors that have taken care of us for millennia- including the people who have worked on the Covid vaccine ever since work first started on it in 2003. That also means that God gave us (daughter's name)'s pediatricians that are telling us how to keep her safe and have told us that the vaccine is safe ad effective for adults."
Well. She did not like that. She went on a rant about how mainstream media only presents a single narrative in line with their agenda and about how doctors are all in on it, blah blah blah. She then went on to imply that my wife was manipulating me into believing this vaccine nonsense, even going so far as to misspell my wife's name- it's a K name that normally starts with a C; mom always spells it with a C. We've been married for 2 years. It's not that hard of a name. Our daughter's name is much weirder and she has no problem spelling that correctly. But I digress-
She insulted my wife, she insulted my wife's family, stating that they are trying to take up all the time with her granddaughter so that she doesn't get any, she said that I only enjoy getting to spend time with my in-laws because it's the first time I've ever had any kind of father (my dad left before I was born and she just really wants me to have daddy issues that don't exist.) It was huge text string that I don't really want to take the time to edit and post unless people really want to read them.
I responded, "Okay. A lot of what you said about Wife (because that's how it's spelled; with a K) and her family was out of line, completely unfair, and extremely disrespectful. Wife read all of those things and she is very hurt and confused by what you said. Clearly you are convinced that you are smarter than the world's top medical professionals just because you read a few articles and watched some videos. So I'm done trying to convince you otherwise. If you want a relationship with me, Wife, and Daughter here in the real world, all you have to do is apologize to both me and Wife, and get the shot. Until then, we don't really have anything else to discuss. Until you're vaccinated and ready to apologize, please don't contact us further."
Maybe that was too harsh, I'm not sure, but it worked. We haven't heard from her since. That sucks though. I love my mom. I don't want to not talk to her. I want her to have a relationship with my daughter, but only if she wises up. It has been two months. Thanksgiving is tomorrow. Relationships are starting to get strained. My mom's best friend texted me out of the blue the other day to yell at me for what we're doing to my mom. My sister doesn't agree with my decision but she at least respects our decision as parents. It's causing ripples throughout the rest of the family and I am so tired of this. I want to fix it but I don't know how. I don't even think it's my responsibility to fix it but my wife feels awful about the whole thing too, she feels responsible because she let mom's texts get to her head.
What do I do? Do I do nothing? Do I reach out and ask to sit down and talk? I want to fix this but I need my mom to know that she needs to respect our decisions as parents even if she doesn't agree with them, and I'm not sure what to do if my words fall on deaf ears. Help?
TL;DR I asked my mom to get the vaccine so that she can spend time with my daughter. She said no multiple times, went on a rant about how we're all sheeple, and insulted my wife's family. We haven't spoken for 2 months and the resentment is becoming corrosive.
Edit: I need to stand my ground and probably speak to a family therapist. Thank you all.
