aita for using a glitch?

I (M ~19) have been studying a glitch I found for almost a year now. A couple months ago, I and a few of my friends (M16, M19, M19) made a breakthrough that allows me to fly, obtain some items from creative mode such as modded swords, bedrock and barrier blocks, spawn eggs, potions that give much more powerful effects than vanilla, etc. I’ve been keeping the extent of it a secret because it would be dangerous for this glitch to be public knowledge before it’s patched, but two of the aforementioned friends decided to publicize parts of their abilities (placing bedrock at spawn, spawning OP mobs, etc). More recently, I opened up to my boyfriend-at-the-time (M18) about some of it, but he told his friend (NB16) about it and they used replay mod(!) to discover my vault with all of my exploited items. My (now ex) boyfriend decided that I was clearly going to be a villain and decided to betray and kill me. I’ve tried working it out with him and explaining my perspective–that I just have the knowledge of this glitch now and I haven’t actually done anything bad with it–but he maintains that having/using exploits is inherently unfair and wrong, even though he has no problems with his friend using replay mod to find my vault. The other night I was trying to decide whether to try and renounce the glitch, destroy my exploited items, etc., and join him and his friends, or whether I should be the villain he clearly wants me to be, and the friend who found my vault with him decided to start annoying me and saying that I was inevitably going to be a villain and should stop pretending to be unsure or have qualms, so I trapped them in the bedrock prison I built, took all their stuff, and spawnkilled them for a bit before giving their stuff back and letting them go free. Now everyone’s even MORE mad at me, even though they’ve still hurt me more than I’ve hurt them! Sometimes when we’re arguing they make some convincing points, and I don’t want to keep hurting them, but I want them to understand my side too. AITA?

AITA for referring to a sourcemate by his source name?

right basically, I have a sourcemate that goes by a different name than his source. not for identity/gender reasons, but because he worries about what people would think about his source name (it's kind of goofy and his original creator named him after a cartoon character, i get it)

anyways, the problem comes from the fact that we aren't identical sourcemates or whatever you'd call it, we have some different memories, of different versions of each other. so i tend to refer to my headmate by his new name and my sourcemate by the name i knew him by- to differentiate and kind of to show they're different people. he and i both know we're not perfect sourcemates, he knows that he's not the guy i knew. the issue here is that he takes some offense to himself being referred to by his source name. so aita for calling my sourcemate (not the fictive headmate) his source name?

[pa-pa-plasma]

so my dad's phone got stolen the other day from his work truck & he explained what happened cuz he saw the security footage, and he didnt have any other way of calling or texting anyone so he naturally radioed his supervisor to tell him to do it, but his supervisor didnt text, just left a voicemail which is stupid, so i decided to text my dad's phone aka the thief this:

and apparently it was TOO effective because today (edit: March 16th, 2022, roughly 2 days later). the man showed up to the desk sobbing so hard no one could understand him. He returned the phone and barely got out that he stole it before leaving

Suffice it to say, I believe I put a grown man off of stealing for the rest of his life. If you're out there random man, I'm sorry I traumatized you. I was bluffing. We had no idea who you were, even with the cameras, and I'm not even sure if you would actually go to jail for taking some oldass phone from an unlocked truck. Thank you for cleaning the phone I guess. My dad barely recognized it.

Am I the asshole for not telling my sister not to drink out of fly traps?

So there's a fly problem in my apartment right now. I'm (NB 26)trying to get rid of them by setting up glasses of pink Moscato around the apartment to trap the flies.

Mixed results but it's helping. And then I had a sister come over (F 22) who was visiting for a few minutes while I grabbed something in the other room. (I think it was a vacuum for her car).

So I left her alone in the living room for a few minutes to grab the vacuum when I came back she was drinking one of the fly traps.

When I asked her what she was doing she said she smelled alcohol and she figured it was okay for her to drink. I then told her that wasn't for drinking it was for catching flies and she got so upset she started puking in my living room and she left so I had to clean it up myself.

I got a text from her saying I was an asshole for not warning her that the glasses of pink Moscato were fly traps.

I didn't think I would need to warn her because who drinks an open glass from someone else's house? But now I'm wondering am I the asshole for not warning my sister the glasses of wine were for trapping flies

AITA for helping my daughter bond with her dog?

Ever since my (50M) wife passed away a few years ago, it's just been me, my daughter (5F, lets call her N) and the family dog. She's a well behaved child, although unfortunately I haven't been able to spend much time playing with her due to my demanding government job. As a result of this, N has grown very attached to the dog.

For some context, I'm known in my field for having done something no one else could years ago. My job's been putting more and more pressure on me to recreate that success ever since but I've never been able to again, and recently I've been told I'd lose my job if I could not recreate the results. As you can tell, this has been weighing down on me but thankfully my job sent over some teens (lets call them E and A) who needed my help and didn't mind looking after my daughter so I was able to focus more on work. They were getting along really well and got rather close even.

It all came to a head when I found the solution to my problem. My little girl's always wanted to help out her papa and has been begging to recently so I decided, why not? And with her help, I was finally, finally able to recreate the results that would save my job. She and the dog has been invaluable to my 'research' and now they're closer then ever. E and A did not react well to this, even though they should understand the importance of our work more than anyone, and E nearly beat me to death. So tell me, am I really the asshole in this situation for trying to keep my job?

AITA for Trying to Marry the love of my Life?

u/PrinceCharmingAYS

I (m26) have been in love with this girl G for a long time. We knew each other from childhood because her dad really liked me. Unfortunately, her dad died and her brother hates me so he wouldn't let me come around anymore. He also refused to pay out the inheritance that his father left me (he's rich, I couldn't afford to fight it)

I ran into G recently and she was so happy to see me. I told her that I still loved her, it was her brother who was keeping us apart, and we made a plan to elope together.

Unfortunately her brother showed up at the last minute and forbid his sister from marrying me. He had the audacity to say that I wasn't wealthy enough to marry her, which maybe I would have been if he'd actually given me my proper inheritance. He even called me an AH.

He's the one standing in the way of true love. AITA?

YTA and Rule 8

Nice creative writing exercise.

However, if there is a single grain of truth to this, let me read between the lines:

This girl's brother seems to be her guardian, so she's underaged. See how you gave us your age and not hers

What you love is her big "assets", since you can't help telling us this family is super rich.

You convinced this teenager to marry you

Her brother rightly stopped it from happening.

Did I miss anything? You need a warning label tattooed on your forehead. I know people love to throw around the term "grooming" but this is actual grooming, right here.

I shudder to think what would have happened if you succeeded.

Okay, so here's the thing.

I'm in real estate, and my friend's apartment just got burgled, so I suggested a nice place in a better part of town for him, you know - just being a bro!

I hadn't really seen the place before taking him over to look at it. But it was NICE.

It looked BEAUTIFUL - a fireplace, a garden, two bedrooms, like a BLOCK from the park.

So while we're walking around the place, my friend - who was already concerned about the fact it was about twice the rent of his old place - kept making comments about extra expenses for - you know, the guy who delivers wood for the fireplace, a gardener, a guy for charcoal for barbecuing. He even goes on about how he doesn't need a lot of natural light because he doesn't have plants. But he decides to take the place.

And when I brought over the lease, he made this comment about the length of the lease. So I made this - offhand comment about how I could take the apartment if he didn't want it.

So then he goes on about how I should take it, then - which, you know, I make some token protests about this, because you don't just steal an apartment you found for a guy, right?

But he insists - says we'll flip for it. He goes on and on about how it's the official flip, I get to call it, and I say no catching.

I lose the flip.

But!

The coin HIT THE TABLE. It was INTERFERENCE, so I point that out. The whole point of "no catching" was there shouldn't be any interference between his hand and when the coin lands.

He doesn't agree, so I'm like fine, if he wants to ignore the rules of coin flips, he can have it, but he keeps on. He says fine, he'll "choose me" for it (you each pick odds or evens and throw out hands with a different number of fingers, and add them together to figure out if the result is odd or even) - best three out of five.

He won that.

And well, obviously it's my fault I picked wrong, but I was despondent.

It was a REALLY NICE apartment, guys.

So a couple of days later it all comes to a head. I mention, offhand, I'm still upset over losing the choose for the apartment.

He goes off, saying he can't take the place - that he's afraid I'll "mope" if he ever invites me over. But I can't take the place from him, so I refuse to take it, so I end up setting up someone else with it.

But he's somehow mad at ME when it all falls out, making snide comments when we get invited to the housewarming for the lady who took the place.

So let's here it guys - am I the asshole for finding this place for my friend?

AITA for betraying my deceased partner’s brothers after they left us in Hell for 1,300 years (10 for them)?

Through an unplanned series of events, I (∞GN) found myself possessing my current partner (19M). We were only meant to be paired up for a short amount of time, as my partner was supposed to act as a substitute for his half-brother (then-30M), who I was going to possess in order to kill my own brother, who was going to possess my partner’s other half-brother (then-26M). However, this didn’t work out, and resulted in myself, my partner, my brother and his half-brother being trapped in a special section of hell made to contain my brother.

During our time in Hell, my partner (who, understandably, wasn’t initially happy with me) and I grew very close. This was aided by the fact that, over time, his brother and my brother were both freed from Hell. However, my partner and I were left in there, due to his half-brothers forgetting about us despite being reminded on numerous occasions. When we did manage to get out, roughly 10 years had passed, though because time works differently in Hell it had been 1,300 years for us. Upon our escaping, we were trapped by his half-brothers and their companion, and were interrogated on how to kill my father. They didn’t apologise. After a bit of convincing by my partner, I complied with their wishes, and we made to go find a little job for my partner. Unfortunately, due to his half-brothers not actually following the instructions they’d forced me to give them, my partner and the rest of humanity were wiped out by my father shortly afterwards, leaving only his half-brothers, their companion, their child and myself on the planet.

After the death of their companion, my partner’s half-brothers sought me out to get my help to defeat my father once more. I didn’t see the point, as my partner was dead and I wanted to mourn him, and they hadn’t listened to me in the first place, but with nothing else to do I went with them. While there, I was made to kill my own brother, which further aggrieved me. In the end, not seeing any point in further struggle, I sided with my father in the conflict. This was, however, what my partner’s half-brothers intended to happen, and they used my death at the hands of my father to defeat him and make their child the new God.

Given my mental state at the time, and the fact that it was what they wanted to happen all along, AITA for siding with my father and betraying my partner’s half-brothers?

AITA for encouraging my kids to have more freedom? Me (old, M) and my partner (also old, F) have had a falling out. We have three children (younger than us, but mature, all M) and we had some disagreements on how to parent them. I was inclined to give them full autonomy. This indirectly resulted in them having a large fight that destroyed our current living situation, which I didn't intend at all. My partner was very angry with me and accused me of sowing dissent among them -- that it was all my fault.

Now she's completely ripped out my heart. She decided a new living situation for me and put me under indefinite house arrest. In the new life that she's built up with a mutual friend of ours (an existence which was made in no small part by using my influence!), she's insinuating that I'm the root of all evil. To me, this seems a punishment disproportionate to the crime.

AITA for kidnapping my husband's brother and his friend?

Now, I know how this sounds, but it's really not that bad, I don't think. I (30M) am the ruler of a certain jungle kingdom, (I'll keep it obscure, but you probably already know who I am.) and I am married to a certain... Well, I suppose he's a demon, (25? M) but he's not evil. We'll call him X. Anyways, he has this twin brother, we'll call him Sam, who he really doesn't like. Sam and his friend, G (~20 F) were standing around in Sam's kingdom when a mutual friend of ours, S (~30s M) and I kidnapped them. X was just looking for information from Sam, and G got in the way. We were just doing what X told us to do, so AITA?

AITA for making out with my host’s best friend? Hostie is taken, I’m not, friend isn’t either, but when she found out she got PISSED at me for “making her cheat.” Friend and us are both bodily 16 and I’m 28. It was fully consensual on both sides and honestly just for friend to see what my lip gloss tasted like

Oc drama as an AITA story! BECAUSE WHY NOT

AITA for telling the weird girl pretty girls have struggles too

I (f16) am considered pretty by almost everyone. I’ve been contacted by modeling agencies and guys always try to ask me out. But it does have it downsides. Like I am insecure about my personality at times and other stuff which will come in hand later. But it does start with this one girl, Margaux (f16), who’s the president of the fashion club. Though she isn’t super pretty by the standards. One thing that does make her stand out is her personality. She is what you would consider a weird girl, rambles about her interests, doesn’t understand sarcasm, and is really blunt at times.

We were talking to each other because our school was about to have a fashion competition. But I was unable to have a conversation because she kept talking about a Japanese rock band. So I told her

“Oh, you’re really interested in that band,” and she replied “yes, couldn’t you tell,”

She seemed a bit mad, because she told me “there’s nothing wrong with being straight forward,”

I replied saying that sometimes people do view me as bitchy if I am blunt, and then i said “you know, being pretty does have it downsides sometimes”

Margaux remained quiet as she continued drawing. She was actually really great at designing these unique type of dresses.

“Sometimes girls doesn’t want to be my friend because they’re jealous of me,”

She replied “sometimes other girls treat me like a pet and just laugh at regular things I do, and then when I point out stuff they act like I’m in the wrong,”

I said “At least people allow you to be yourself.”

She became furious, she snapped at me and told me that being autistic is a tiring and hard. Feeling like the outsider and being forced to act normal. She then asked me if we could swap places, me becoming the average looking weird girl and her becoming the average looking “neurotypical”. I said yes. Because she would probably feel really tired to be in position. She then snapped and said “so you want to be disabled because being pretty is so hard?” And rolled her eyes.

I told her “yeah, being pretty does have some similar struggles to being autistic”

Btw Margaux’s pov coming out soon

WIBTA for having a makeup-free wedding?

My partner (mid-20s M) and I (mid-20s NB) are in the very early stages of planning a wedding. It's not going to be a big all out event, but he's one of many children so there's going to be a lot of people regardless.

I present as female to most people and don't really mind being read that way. However, I also refuse to wear makeup and as a result I've had multiple people (mostly my mother) treat me as an ugly tomboy. I strongly feel like makeup is overall harmful to people and especially how women view themselves so it's a big point of contention for me. I don't hate on people for wearing makeup either, that's not my place to say.

However, a little selfish part of me doesn't want to be the ugliest person on my wedding day. My mother and multiple of my friends are very into makeup, and would never go barefaced even to the grocery store. So I know that asking everyone to not wear makeup wouldn't be very welcome. But it's a short private event, and casual on top of that. I want to feel comfortable myself without feeling overly self-conscious. But I'd rather be uncomfortable than betray my whole personality and wear makeup.

I haven't brought it up with anyone yet. I know my partner and his family wouldn't mind, so I'm not worried about them (none of them are big on makeup either). I don't want to seem like a bridezilla, and I know some people have serious image issues without makeup, so I'm kinda torn.

Am I the Asshole for Sucking People Dry?

Perhaps I should not rely on public opinion to soothe my bruised ego, but I have, quite frankly, had it up to here with the baseless accusations and slanders leveled against my respectable name, and thus I demand clarification from an objective crowd once and for all.

I (M, stopped counting at 14) happen to have inherited the legendary and historically meaningful title of the "Dark Sorcerer" from the spirit of the previous Dark Sorcerer at a young age. Of course, a title such as this bear responsibilities and expectations, namely the dedication of my life to the amassing of as grand an amount of magical power as ever possible to further the prestige and status of the title. The traditional way to accomplish this is to absorb magic energy from outside sources, an ability that is generally inherited alongside the "Dark Sorcerer" title. Now, for the most part I have always preferred to rely on helpless targets for my purposes: magical artifacts, natural nexi of environmental power, lingering magic of the deceased... But, occasionally, I have indeed, ahem, taken passing sorcerers back to my abode for a, let's say, "extraction". Not all (or most) of them willingly, of course, but it all had its purpose. The majority of them were children and young teenagers anyway. What good could they have possibly done with such impressive power on them? If you ask me, I have done them a favor for relieving them of the responsibility of such grand strength. If they do not resist it barely even hurts!

Now, one or two of them may have perished in the extraction process, but am I really supposed to take responsibility for that, when they were appropriately warned to just calmly wait in their cells? They all were aware of the dangers it entails when they began practicing the craft of sorcery, I am sure.

In any case, my collection of power progressed quite well. Until one of my vict-- I mean, targets escaped.

Let's call her "A" (F, 16+). She was a young sorceress with power she clearly was not capable of using appropriately, so I decided to swiftly relieve her of that burden. She did not agree with my assessment, humiliated me in a duel in front of the entirety of my hired staff and left, leaving my underground abode a mess. Now, as she won our battle fair and square, I would not take issue with her just having gone on her merry way until the next time I attempt to take her for my own... If that had been all she had done!

Instead, ever since our initial encounter, she has insisted on making a fool of me and spreading entirely untrue and baseless rumors about me among everyone she comes across! Branding me as a "creeper" or "skeezy" and shamefully misinterpreting my words in any way possible, just to make fun of me! Treating my every attempt to challenge her to a serious, respectable battle for her power as a joke, no, a game even! As a result, there is an entire township now where the magic-using population know me only as a weirdo and a joke and has absolutely no respect of my prowess as the "Dark Sorcerer"! I suspect A is doing this all in a sort of attempt at revenge, to make me feel as if I need to change my ways and "settle down". She has indeed insinuated things of that sort in the past. But all I am doing is living by the ancient tradition of the title passed on to me! How can she not understand that there is absolutely nothing wrong with ravaging the weak if it is to maintain the ancient order of sorcery itself?

You all agree, don't you? She is being ridiculous, isn't she! I am just acting the way I am supposed to act! And I am NOT a skeezy creeper!!

I require validation!!!
