AITA for feigning my suicide after my mentor was found guilty of murdering my father when I was a child?

I (26M) (Well, that's the age I was when the aforementioned incident occurred) had been working as a prosecutor since my debut when I was 20. I was trained under the mentorship of "A"(??M), raised by him after my father was shot and killed when I was a child of nine years. Since his death, I had believed that I was the one who shot him, but had discovered it was actually my mentor all along, who killed him when I was unconscious.

I was put on trial regarding a murder on christmas eve (I did not kill him), separate from the one involving my father, and out of misplaced guilt I had all but succumb to accepting a guilty verdict when my... associate(?) "B"(26M) offered to be my defense attorney. I eventually agreed, and thus began the trial.

During the trial, it was revealed that the true culprit was one of the witnesses "C"(??M), and it brought to light new information about my father's case all those years ago, which was consequently retried, B uncovering that A had conspired with the witness to carry out the recent murder on account of revenge against me. C believed it was my fault that his life was ruined (he was tried and acquitted for my father's death 15 years prior, but the backlash of the case ruined his reputation. Needless to say he wasn't very fond of me, also under the assumption that I had been the one to shoot my father). A had plotted it all because my father, who was a defense attorney, had blemished A's spotless record as a prosecutor the day he died.

This was both a great relief, to know I hadn't in fact murdered my father, and also very taxing on me mentally, to know that I had been raised and moulded by this man for 15 years into becoming the antithesis of my father.  

Ergo, I was in a very bad place, and shortly after my acquittal, I left a note behind that suggested I wasn't keen on continuing to live. I didn't go through with anything, just took some time to evaluate my life in Europe.

Here's where I recognize I may be an asshole. I didn't tell B any of this, letting him assume I was dead. B was very angry with me when I returned. Upon seeing me again, he told me it would've been better for everyone if I'd never come back from the dead. 

Well you see, our relationship is a bit complicated. I owe him a great deal, and I had come to consider him as a good friend. I had also known B briefly when we were children, and ever since he's become a part of my life again, he's saddled me with unnecessary feelings... Although he used to be someone I absolutely loathed, because I could not win against him when we faced off in court, he ended up being the sole catalyst for my life turning around for the better. Regardless of my opinion on B, he seems to think very highly of me, or in the very least he used to. He was definitely upset that I let him believe I was dead for a year, while I believe it was perfectly reasonable due to the duress I had been under, and I hadn't made any promises to stay around. It's not unusual for me to leave the country, as I resided in Europe for nearly half my life. B has also accused me of leaving because he put an end to my win streak, which as I said, used to be the case, but is absolutely not the reason I left. 

AITA?

aita for getting this guy arrested?

i (??m) am a detective in training. normally the cases i solve are small but one time, i solved a murder case before the police did.

when the murderer was being arrested, he gave me a stare i'd never forget.

it turns out that the victim was abusive and drove one of the murderer's family members to suicide. people said to me that what he did was justified. i'm not sure if i should've solved this case... aita?

AITA for changing the entire trajectory of my life to save my friend?

I (24M) spent most of my life unsure of what I wanted to do as my career. I recently found out that my childhood friend (24M) has dedicated his work towards incarcerating potentially innocent people, even though he was a stark advocate for justice back when I knew him-- which was in elementary school. I haven't spoken to him since we were children, and I'm not sure if he'd even remember me, but I know this isn't right for him. So, I did what any rational person would do.

I decided to shift my entire education plan and career path toward finding him and saving him from the person he had become. Easy, right?

My assistant (17F) thinks I'm weird and also might not be acknowledging some hidden feelings, but I think I'm doing the right thing. AITA?

You know, an interesting tumblr transformation that's happened gradually, and which I've seen no one talk about: ask-culture has essentially dropped off to nothing.

By which I mean, asks used to be WAY more of the tumblr economy. They used to be more common to send, and receive, and see. They were integral to the collaborative, forum-like behavior of old tumblr communities, not even to speak on the HUGE number of ask-blogs that used to exist to only be interacted with in ask-form.

I'm not saying this in a vying-for-attention way but instead in an observational way: I used to get way way more asks in like 2015, even with a fraction of my follower count. I wonder if it's due to the homogenization of social media sites? There's a lot more of this divide between "content creator" and "consumer" instead of just a bunch of peer blogs who would talk to each other. "Asks" aren't really a thing on twitter, are they? And as I understand it, the closest thing to an "ask" on instagram or tiktok would be a creator screenshotting some comment and responding to it in a new reel or video or whatever those content mediums are. Are asks just too tumblr-specific? Is that aspect of the site culture dying out as more and more people converge to using all their social media sites in the same way?

Facebook deleted this almost immediately. It's almost like the ultrawealthy don't want us knowing or talking about what's at stake.

My favourite Wikipedia page of all time is definitely the one of aptronyms - aka, names that suit the person who has them. Here are some gems:

does anyone know if i can like block sites from appearing in my google images searches??? i keep getting those awful ai generated things with a hand coming out of a man's neck and just straight up not what i was looking for, because this was in a search for "curly hair in medieval paintings". it happens every time i search for anything vaguely art-reference-like and it's so fucking annoying and it clutters my search results so much. i don't wanna add specific commands to the query every time too, what i need is like a browser extension or something

Also I was looking at 2021 in paleontology and apparently this year we discovered this awful shark that is wider than it is long

For people in the United States

If you are over the age of 18 and you do not have a good relationship with your parents (especially if you're gay, trans, queer, etc and your family doesn't support you). I want you to go to this site really quick.

Basically advanced directive is assigning who is allowed to make medical decisions for you in three event you are unable to talk or otherwise unable to make decisions for yourself (such as a coma).

So if you're no contact with you family and now living with your partner whom you're not married to? Maybe you'll want to put that your partner is the one that can make medical decisions for you.

If your family always gaslit you about your allergies or health issues? Maybe you might want to put your found family in there to make medical decisions for you.

If for ANY REASON you do not trust your family to make medical decisions for you in the event that you can't, and you prefer someone else be making medical decisions for you, please fill out this form.

And whomever you name as responsible for your health in the event that you can't make medical decisions should have a copy of this form in a secure location after its filed so they can wave it around when they're trying to show doctors that they're the one that's legally allowed to make the decisions.

(This form is also good for listing out decisions that would be hard for your family to make like how long you want to be in a coma, when to pull the plug if you're in a vegetative state, etc. Especially if you're concerned about medical bills.)

not joking I would kind of like to brutally murder whoever thought it was a good idea to take away clicking on a person’s name to see their reblog and make it borderline impossible to get to the original version of a post without spending ten minutes scrolling with ctrl f
