My dad lost my mom (former marine) and my 2 siblings in a car crash where only he survived. He’s recently married and I now have 5 older step bros (we don’t always see eye to eye). Every year on my grandpa and grandma’s birthday and Veterans Day we make a drive to golden gate cemetery (which we refer to as golden gate) and then we stop by my mom and siblings graves since they’re close by and vise versa on their bdays. We usually end up both being complete messes at the end and it takes us the full day or sometimes 2 days to collect ourselves. Well I was talking about going to golden gate this year since we couldn’t last year and I think I was overheard and it comes time for the dreaded but also needed day that we go.
But then I see it my stepmom standing there with a picnic basket having a heated discussion with my dad and the step bros looking pissed on the side. Me thoroughly confused try to ask what’s going on and all angry looks get directed at me and stepmom says”well she’s here now so you guys can go on your little outing alone and take the picnic I made for us all to enjoy there TOGETHER by yourselves while my sons and I enjoy some bonding time of our own”
Admittedly I see red and I don’t control my mouth and yell “you made a fucking picnic to have at the graves of our family tf is wrong with you how could you possibly think that’s appropriate this is hard enough and you do that” and I go on and on for a good 10 minutes. By the end stepfam is looking white and shocked and my dad quietly says “I was trying to tell you it’s not the damn bridge” SM starts bawling SBs start loosing it on me and my dad says maybe another time he needs to be here. So I leave and go on my own and was forced to call a friend to come pick me up because by the end of visiting my mom I couldn’t really stand without help. I’ve been at my friends for about a week now just crying trying to pull myself together which usually my dad helped with, but I’ve been getting nonstop calls from fam saying I’m an AH and my mom and such would be disappointed in my behavior towards my new fam which has been making it harder dad has tried calling me multiple times but idk if I can face him. Aita?
ETA background info: My SM is not Mexican she’s Japanese and I have no idea if having a picnic is a way to honor those who have passed.
I lost my mom and siblings on my 13 birthday when they were picking up a surprise gift for me with my dad I was at my grandparents house during this and my dad wa

Which automations, instead of just being "cool" and "wow", are really necessary and cover needs and improve the quality of life, and maybe why not, even that of the environment?
I hate it when I’m at a wedding or an event where people are dancing and someone decides that I need to be dancing in order to have fun and tries to physically pull me onto the floor. I do not like dancing, it makes me uncomfortable and self conscious and I’m not just declining to dance because I’m “too shy” to go out there on my own. Some people don’t like dancing, that is okay, but deciding that someone needs to dance because “everyone else is” and forcing them to do so is NOT okay. It makes me feel bad for continuing to decline their physical efforts to get me out of my chair and sit back down, and then people think I’m even more of a square for putting up such a fight when I shouldn’t even need to in the first place. It seems this happens to me every time I go out somewhere with people I know where there’s music and people are dancing. I like music and I like having fun, but dancing is not my idea of fun and anyone who knows me should know this and respect that. Also since when did grabbing someone by their arms to get them to do something become okay?? Why do people think they can do this?
The DCAU was an incredible animated universe that was really good at presenting interesting examinations of characters and concepts through DC characters. They weren't afraid to challenge general perceptions of characters and that as a kid at least really surprised me.
The peak of this willingness to challenge kids perceptions on superheroes though is, to me, how they handle Batman and the effects his personality has on himself on others over time. Specifically, all the traits that a kid might think about as making Batman cool like his loner attitude, bluntness, dedication to the mission over other people, etc are pretty realistically portrayed as ruining his life in a way. Batman Beyond shows a Bruce Wayne that has pretty much alienated every single person in his life who cared about him besides Superman.
Bruce always implicitly posited that he had to choose between people or the mission and while in some circumstances that was true, Terry's existence demonstrated that Bruce was wrong. Terry maintains a relationship with his girlfriend, he maintains a relationship with his family and friends, Terry is in many ways stronger than Bruce because he was able to move past his trauma and still do his job. Bruce is not cool for pushing people away, he is not badass, although he may never admit it, his lonlieness in his old age was not a necessity of his mission but a product of his own emotional weaknesses.
Yes, there's a huge variety of games but for $180/year (version that includes cloud access) you know that all non-ms games are going to disappear on average after a year.
Meanwhile Stadia PRO is $120/year or you can snatch a game at a sale and, while the catalog is more limited, even in the worst doomsday scenario that haters claim, you'll still be able to play your games in the upcoming years at least.
Edit: because this blew up, don't take it personally. This post is NOT a jab at gamepass, which is great. It's just an observation on how FUD against Stadia can be overblown given that even in the worst case scenario you'll be able to keep and play your games for years to come.
Some of us actually feel more wary of putting money into services like gamepass because we take longer to play our games "want to play list" and it creates anxiety to know that you're playing against the clock.
Title. Yall mad you act like weed is your whole personality and complain about every single post.
You were just a large bitch 2 seconds ago. Why am I supposed to be nice now because you are suddenly in a better mood? Edit - sorry, I mean large bitch as in really unagreeable person, not a woman, and not husky completely.
Had to make this thread again because the first time I used a word not allowed here.
Does anyone feel like because you're the breadwinner for the family and the 2nd parent, it made you decide to not have children of your own? Eto talaga kasi naging dahilan kaya I decided to be childfree. All my life I felt an obligation and this is my time now to take care of myself. Of my life. I'm 28F, with 2 siblings and a pwd parent.
When my bf and I started dating I immediately opened the topic of being childfree kasi non-negotiable sya sakin. After a couple of years, tanggap na din nia yun ganito kong mindset and is excited for the opportunities that will open because of not having kids. :)
I hope for all the other people who are thinking to be childfree to not be guilty about this. Normal lang na maging selfish at intindihin mo muna ang sarili mo. Masarap sa feeling na wala ka ibang obligation kundi sarili mo. Masarap isipin na you have the freedom to do whatever you want without another person to think of. Im not shaming would-be parents too, but it's a tough life to be a parent and everyone should be ready mentally, physically, financially to be a parent to break that toxic cycle of burden.

decide to go round and use this illness as a way to justify being a dickhead for the most part? It's probably a serious condition somewhere in the world yet there are people that use the label as a "flex". Why would anyone use a mental condition as a flex? There's nothing cool about this condition or any condition. It's the equivalent of comparing dick sizes. I mean what's next r/I'mNotAnAssholeButIDoEverythingThatMakesMeOne?
The recent gear restoration has introduced purple gear able to utilize two T3 mods, and rather than having this be a one off circumstance, this should be leaned into.
With a small chance for every Purple from expeditions to roll with a T3 mod, say 10%, three key issues would be addressed.
#1: Progression with preferred playstyles becomes smoother.
Currently, the majority of builds require T3 mods in order to function, and legendaries are the only way to get these.
Progressing through Challenge Tiers as a Firepower Devastator or Anomaly Technomancer is an exercise in frustration. They need T3 mods, which can't be semi-reliably farmed until CT15, so the few builds that can reliably gold clear with limited mods are what is mostly used until the very end of the game. I've personally played a Technomancer, and with almost 80 hours in the game and dozens on dozens of gold CT15 clears, I'm still limited to running Blighted Rounds because I just haven't gotten the mods that allow AP builds to work.
If Purples from Expeditions had the possibility to roll with an innate T3 mod, it will give players wanting to progress through CT ranks with builds that require those mods more opportunities to get the tools they need to function. Legendaries would keep their desirability because of the set bonuses they give. (assuming the underperforming ones are buffed)
#2: Purple drops become more valuable than Blues and Greens.
Currently, Purple drops are not as desirable compared to their lower rarity counterparts, due to having the selection of three T2 mods when a Blue gets its rarity increased. The best way to get rolls with optimal drops is to collect a hoard of blues with the three stats you want, go to upgrade them, and Alt-F4 if none get the mod you need.
If Purples from Expeditions had the possibility to roll with an innate T3 mod, the excitement of getting a Purple drop would significantly increase. Any one could have the perfectly rolled stats with Captain Hunter, and be a truly memorable moment in the gear chase.
#3: Class specific T3 mods other classes can use become more accessible.
In particular, I'm thinking of mods like Unstoppable Force that increases Anomaly Power by your Resistance Piercing, which is great on Tricksters and Melee Devastators, but is only on the Hands of the Reforged for the Pyro, but there are a few others like Euthanizer, 25% damage to enemies with Toxic, which could be useful on other classes.
