AITA for lying about someone else's relationship?quote:I (female, 19) am a singer-songwriter signed to an indie label in Columbia. As someone with little relationship experience, my music is generally based on other peoples' lives or is purely fictional. Last week I completed the chord charts and lyrics for a song about an unfaithful wife. This song began as a fictional story with no correlation to my personal life. However, my co-writer on this track (male, 71) suggested that I use the names of people I know in real life so that my writing doesn't get debunked if I eventually do interviews for this single (which is up in the air at this point as I only have 89k followers on Soundcloud and have only done five interviews in the past with locally-based magazines). The names Austin & Marcy Lee, my brother's best friend and his fiancé, came to my mind immediately as they flowed nicely with the rest of the lyrical content. I adjusted the names and am releasing this song in a few weeks as my debut solo record on major streaming services like Pandora and Tidal. I'm excited to put myself out there but nevertheless, I'm worried now. You see, my brother's best friend, Austin, is also my ex-boyfriend and I have a lot of pictures with him on social media. It'll only be a matter of time before people notice who this song is "about"... I even used his last name in one of the verses. As far as I know, his fiancé is faithful, but I didn't write the song about them anyway! I'd feel really bad if I damaged their relationship or her reputation based on a fictional story, but there's not much I can do because of my record label's strict release schedule rules (meaning I cannot cancel the release date of this song). I think it will be fine since none of us are celebrities who'll have the whole internet coming after them, but the line "Marcy Lee going around town like the bed girl she won't tell you about" (pun on bad girl) is gonna keep me up all night until the song is out. I'd really like y'all's input because I don't want to be feel bad about this and need a way out without not putting the song out. Thanks a million for reading.

URGENT - I got one hourquote:I posted earlier today and to sum it up i’m going to see my gf in one hour and i’m gonna kiss her for the first time. Thank you all for the advice but I do have one question: How do I ask her if she wants to kiss? Like I know she does but i’ve been told to still ask.

Or like a cassette player or like, both? What was it like seeing the first mmo? Did you know that the internet was gonna be wild when you logged on with your free Skype CD? Or did you think it was a fad? Do you call everything gaming related "one of those nintendos?" Did the 3D Mario games just blow your mind? Like when people saw Elvis for the first time and started fainting and stuff. Boba Pearl fucked around with this message at 09:46 on Jan 24, 2022 |

Boba Pearl posted:Holy poo poo, what was it like before the internet? *ahem* The first computer I used was a Commodore 64. If you didn't want to spend money on a floppy disc drive then a cheaper alternative was games/programs that were stored on standard audio cassette tape which you'd put in a special tape drive that interfaced with the computer. There used to be radio stations which would provide computer programs. You'd tune to the correct station on your stereo, press Record on your tape deck at the alloted time, and the radio station would transmit an electronic screech lasting several tens of minutes which when recorded to the tape translated to ones and zeros In the correct format. You could then put the tape in your computer's tape drive and play the game you just downloaded off the airwaves. Breetai fucked around with this message at 14:11 on Jan 24, 2022 |

My first computer was a zx spectrum 64, you plugged a cassette recored into it to save/load programs. I never owned a phonograph but I'd love one. My first mmos were text based and a lot of fun. Everyone of my age group knew the internet was going to be wild. e: it started wild Again I cannot emphasise enough how much you have the wrong age group and demographic for the everything is nintendos thing that was our parents. Why play 3d Mario I've got a PC with Doom and Duke Nukem and Quake  shareware versions

Are there any reasons for "no sex before marriage" that aren't religious or "traditional" (read: quasi-religious) brain poisoning? Obviously people should have sex when they're comfortable, but the whole idea that waiting for government certification makes it more "special" just screams neuroses or unprocessed sex issues. Neither of which will be fixed by any amount of delaying. Not to mention enshrining virginity as a virtue, which is Grade-S vintage bullshit.

Neither of which will be fixed by any amount of delaying. Not to mention enshrining virginity as a virtue, which is Grade-S vintage bullshit. The main practical concern is pregnancy, should birth control measures fail/people gently caress up and they decide not to abort. It's a good idea in so many ways for children to be born into stable families that will be able to care for them. Not to say that single parents, and parents who aren't married, can't take care of children well, or that married couples are automatically going to be good parents, but that's in theory where much of this stuff comes from.

Both of the Covid and health/pregnancy arguments fall apart when the alternate suggestion is to gently caress in a hotel room. The mother is just squicked or jealous of her daughter. The ex-cop father having no opinion seals that too.

Hughlander posted:AITA: Am I the rear end in a top hat for kicking out dad's girlfriend at his wake and funeral? something is being unsaid here. The fact that literally everyone in the OP's family knew Pam, by the daughter's own telling of the story, is what is sending me for a loop here. That implies she has not been interacting with those family members for 5 years. How else could she have avoided "Oh how are your Dad and Pam doing?" type questions.
