A relative asked to borrow money again. This person already owes money to at least three other family members and has a history of not paying people back on time (or at all).
When the request came, it was turned down. The response was that it didn’t feel right to add to an already long list of unpaid debts. There was immediate pushback from some family members saying it was cold and that “family helps family.”
The pattern has been the same for years — borrow, promise to repay, then disappear until the next request. Saying yes would just continue that cycle. Saying no created tension.
So… AITA for refusing?

Most new cars seem to have replaced almost every physical button with a touchscreen. Changing the temperature, volume, or even turning on the heated seats often means looking at the screen and tapping through menus instead of just reaching for a knob or button.
It feels less safe and more distracting while driving. Physical controls could be used by feel without taking eyes off the road.
Is there an actual reason manufacturers keep doing this, or is it just cheaper / looks more modern?
