I thought reddit's verdict was YTA for forcing everyone to do a thing because one of them had an issue.

nashona posted:$10,000 crib that requires 8 months lead time This is kind of funny because the phrase "The oval form of the Gradient crib is created by machining a fluid surface out of solid maple hardwood." to me means the thing is cranked out on a CNC mill in two hours probably.

Cousin wasn't the only vegan. Because this one cousin refused to eat with non-vegans, OP put ALL the vegans in a separate table, splitting up families in the process. In what way is this a better solution than either putting cousin in a separate table or not inviting them?

I'm assuming the cousin would have found something to be mad about regardless, right? It sounds like the only other solution besides the Vegan Exclusion Zone was having the cousin eat alone. e: I guess the actual issue here is less with the cousin and more with the other people who were, I assume, fairly normal about being vegan and still forced to sit at the vegans-only table. I could understand those people being annoyed at that when they were expecting to be able to sit with their family or spouse or something.

Oh I'm not saying it was a good option, but I can also see people going "You just singled out a family member and made it really weird." That one cousin just really threw an annoying rear end in a top hat wrench into the planning.

I know nothing about them or how they're different from motorcycles, but I have a friend whose son died in a motorcycle accident, so I'm pretty opposed to him getting one. Are dirt bikes at all safe? My dad started riding a motorcycle when he was around 60; I was born when he was 50, so I was still in elementary school and thought it was awesome when he'd drop me off or pick me up from school on it. But I still never want my kids getting one, unless it's after I croak and I don't need to know about it.

Yeah let the cousin have their own table, then it's only one person miserable. It's like the trolley problem except they switched to the track with more people on it.

I'm wavering on the idea but don't want to be responsible for the death of my eldest son. Also, vegan cousin singled herself out by refusing to eat with non-vegans. She could've been seated with her parents or family that would probably be used to her bitching about them eating meat in her vicinity.

He'll probably break a wrist or collarbone eventually, but dying from a dirt bike accident is relatively rare (as long as there's a helmet involved) because there's less speed, asphalt, and moving multi-ton chunks of metal compared to riding on a road. Off-road deaths make up something like 1% of motorcycle deaths.

You ride them on trails or on dunes where some shithead cannot turn left in front of you at a light and kill you I am an edge case because I come from a family of dirt bike riders and we have property with miles of trails we've cut through the woods. I learned on a little 50cc trail hopper when I was six or seven. but there are plenty of places with trails you can go to and ride for cheap, where the only thing you need to worry about is your own ability (or dumbasses on ATVs)

If you get your kid a dirtbike you don't get to complain about his broken wrist or fractured pelvis or whatever he ends up with, but he's almost certainly not going to die in a dirtbiking accident. Motorcycles are lethally dangerous because they share the road with cars and trucks, dirtbikes aren't really in the same class.

AITA for "overstepping" my role as godmother?quote:So, about 3 months ago my beautiful nephew was born into the world. A little context into this, me and my husband have been trying to have a child since we got married 4 years ago. Nothing has worked. We're at a point where it seems that adoption or surrogacy is our only real option. So when my sister got pregnant after only a few months of being married to BIL, I got jealous. I won't lie about that. But, my sister came to me and said she knew what I was going through and wanted me to be her son's godmother. I was ecstatic and decided I would do whatever was needed to help my sister and BIL out. But I was ONly TRYing to HELP.

What's the proper term to differentiate a powered off-road bicycle (such as a dirt bike) from an unpowered one? Mountain Bike? I think we used them all interchangeably when I was growing up because only an idiot would use a powered one around all the cliffs and it was usually clear from context whether the person was an idiot.

Motorcycles are lethally dangerous because they share the road with cars and trucks, dirtbikes aren't really in the same class. From knowing someone who went dirtbiking and riding ATVs constantly, they said the chance of death was really really low if you follow the rules, and really really high if you don't. Most of the deaths are from people doing the kinds of show-off or stunt things that the casual observer would look at and go "drat that looks really dangerous" while also not wearing a helmet

20 Blunts posted:street legal what? street legality always refers to powered bikes (or cars) to answer the original question, a dirtbike is always powered. a mountain bike is always unpowered. mopeds are not-very-fast powered bikes with pedals; they can be more dirtbike-ish or more scooter-ish.

Kuros posted:When I was younger, I didn't understand why labeling something as "for a wedding" marked the price up by a lot, but now I understand it's simply a built in rear end in a top hat tax. Honestly it also covers a lot of extra poo poo. Informal party means get some pictures, ideally of everyone. Wedding means get pictures of pretty much everyone but also get a poo poo load of very specific pictures and boy howdy they better be amazing. Also yes, everyone will at best be incredibly stressed and running around being crazy people and there should be a tax for dealing with that.

Thanks for the dirt bike chat! Good to know my child may possibly only be maimed instead of dead, and that dirt bikes aren't necessarily a gateway drug to motorcycles. I'll look into them a bit more. As for the sister/godmother, good lord. She says she's gone over every single morning for 3 months. If she's also cooking their lunch and dinner I wonder if she just stays all day, or is constantly coming back over and nonstop being up in their poo poo. I doubt they've even had much time alone as a family without her being there. Did they even ask her to cook all their meals and buy them poo poo or did she take it upon herself?
