Im from Canada and I made a post ranting about how i hated getting ID checked whenever i went somewhere that required it (liquor store, bar, casino, etc) and all the comments were people saying “you probably don’t look 21”, it’s 18 to do all that where i live, i even clarified that i was Canadian in that post but it was still “you probably don’t look 21” or “you’re not 21, why are you even trying to go do all that?”

From season 0 to around season 3 the game was just naturally laggy despite how good your internet connection was, does anyone remember that?

I started working fast food a couple years ago and moved through a few different restaurants and each one Ive had multiple different occasions where I’m working the closing shift and i’ll lock the doors and get to cleaning and then there’s someone who is at the doors with the sign with our hours RIGHT in there face trying to come in and order food and they just can’t seem to get it through their thick skulls that after a certain time, we are no longer open. I’ve even had an instance where It was 11 at night and as i was locking the door, someone got out of their car and tried getting in to order food and all i could do was point at the sign saying we were closed and he was still yelling about how he just needed something quick. There’s also been a few idiots who tried getting into the restaurant despite the doors being locked and they tried saying “you guy’s are open 24/7, why’s the door locked?”. Yea, if you read just a little bit more you’ll see it says drive through is open 24/7 but our indoor dining is closed at 10.

A hobby of mine I picked up a couple years ago is going to an indoor gun range and it’s now the 4th time I have seen the worker basically give someone shit because they were being an idiot with a gun in their hands. In all four instances, a similar pattern would occur: a group brand new to firearms comes in and starts pointing it at everything BUT the range. Most of them were accidentally but there was one case i saw where they wanted to take a picture with their partner while they aimed the gun at him but they got in trouble for saying that and didn’t get to take the picture. Idk why the firing range didn’t emphasize this more but it’s basic common sense to treat every firearm like it’s loaded, even if you’ve see every bullet taken out manually. It’s not hard to keep it pointed down range either once that bit of information is in mind.

I swear i can walk downtown one day and see nothing and come back not even 24 hours later and see a giant crane on a building under construction.

I got diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer a couple weeks ago and was told that I can start treatment soon but i refused because I don’t want to go through the treatment process. Constantly feeling ill, in the hospital more times than im not, i don’t want to spend the majority of my time left like that if the treatment doesn’t end up working. The doctor gave me an estimate of about 5-6 months if i don’t go through treatment and im fine with it, I’ll spend it with family and friends doing what I enjoy. im not telling anyone so i can avoid their pleas to try and get me to go through it, i don’t want to be constantly nagged for the next half of a year.

Just a couple years ago i had crystal clear skin and then out of nowhere my face just became permanently red with acne and nothing helps. I wash my face twice a day, use the “right” products suggested by the dermatologist, and it doesn’t go away. I can’t even get accutane because I don’t have health insurance and can’t afford it either. It’s gotten so bad that I can’t even shave my face either because the razor just cuts my acne and hurts like a bitch. Cherry on top is that i can’t even grow a beard to hide it, the best i can grow are little whiskers on my cheeks and a sorry ass goatee so instead of hiding it i just look homeless AND like a meth addict. I can’t wear light coloured shirts because my face likes to bleed randomly too. Im 23 btw so this isn’t even a puberty thing, my skin just hates me.

Im tired of playing live blackjack, anyone got suggestions?

Just lost $500 and im doing the old get even or get even worse

Just got done with a situationship after 4 months with a girl who i assumed was perfect. Turns out that after several dates, countless hours of spending time with eachother doing things that we loved, i woke up to a text saying “sorry but i don’t think this isn’t going to work out, I never really had romantic feelings towards you”. After 4 whole months which included her birthday, my birthday, valentines day and a road trip together, she just now decides to tell me how she’s been feeling since we met. I would have just taken the rejection flat out when i asked her out but instead that’s 4 months basically down the drain. She didn’t even tell me why she dragged it out for so long, that’s what pisses me off the most. I didn’t give her money so it wasn’t for financial reasons, she just done it for the love of the game I suppose.

Is it nostalgia bait, prioritization of cosmetics, only two updates per season? I enjoy the newest game but i just wanna hear other people’s opinions.

My wife and I are expecting our first child next month and were told it’s a boy. For context i am First Nations (Native American but in Canada) and despite looking like an average white guy, my name is traditional to my culture and my wife adores it as it’s unique and wants to name our son something similar.

The issue is that we live in a mostly white and a pretty unwelcoming area for First Nations people and it made it pretty hard to job search and make friends. I don’t want that for my son because an employer will look at his name and immediately toss his resume. I don’t want him to have a tough time in school because of his name and immediately being a target.

The other day when we were discussing names she did research and settled on “Tipiskâw” which means night in my language. I told her my reasons why it’s not a good idea for his legal name and despite telling her it can be his traditional name, she still got mad that I don’t want our son to have a traditional name as his legal one and is holding a grudge against me.

I don’t hate the name but i know it will make his life harder as where we live hasn’t changed it’s views in 25 years Ive lived here and doesn’t show any signs of change. AITAH?

Edit: We already decided on a middle name for our son and we don’t want his name to be long by adding Tipiskâw as a second middle name. My brother took his own life when he was 15 and my wife and I both agreed that our sons middle name will be my brothers name to honour him. So we don’t plan on altering it or adding a second name.

Im 23 and have only had one girlfriend my whole life and we were together since freshman year of high school. Until recently i thought i hit the jackpot because I thought i found the person i wanted to be with for the rest of my life first try until she cheated on me. Now i’m single for the first time in nearly a decade, i have no idea how to talk to women since i was with her for all of high school which most would agree is when you should develop relationship experience and learn from mistakes for the future (something i clearly don’t have since i thought i found my person).

I went to Las Vegas last weekend for my friend’s birthday and I made sure to keep myself controlled by leaving both my credit card and debit cards at home with only apple pay and $1000 in cash in my wallet(I prepaid my share of our room and i was comfortable with gambling $1000 for the weekend). On our last night there before we went home I was walking back from the casino to our room since i had already tripled the cash i brought and still had a couple hundred bucks extra from my winnings and on my way to the elevator there was a guy who was completely broken down in tears, like he was laying on the ground sobbing. I assumed he lost a shit ton of money and soon enough, i was right, he told me he lost EVERYTHING and asked if i could give him money so he could drive home and i told him no. I told him he was an idiot for betting what he couldn’t afford to lose and i left him there so i could get in the elevator. The next morning when we went to check out he was outside the hotel with his hat on the ground (it had maybe $15 in it from people who felt bad) and I still felt the same i did the night before.
