Hi! I'm new to this reddit. I'm also typing this on my phone so I apologies for anything that looks off.
Where to start? I, 20 NB (Non-binary for anyone who's wondering), have a sister, 18 f. Me and her were very close growing up, despite our little fights as kids, which is to be expected. I was probably closer to her than my other 2 siblings (16 m and 10 m). But this story isn't about my brothers. This is about my sister.
I was recently informed that my sister and her boyfriend, let's call him Joe and my sister Mira (not real names). Joe recently told me that they started dating in September. I wouldn't have a problem with this initially, except for the fact that he's 38 years old, and he's been in our life before she even turned 16. But that's not all! Her birthday was also in October... So you mean to tell me he's been seeing her BEFORE she turned 18? And he was like an uncle to us, none-the-less.
What also frustrates me is that Mira has a 16 month old from a previous relationship when she was 16 (I was disappointed at first but my little niece is the sweetest and is learning all sorts of things!) What bothers me is he will sit there and be like "That's Daddy's little girl" or something like that to my niece.
I don't know I just feel kinda gross knowing the fact that he, at least in my eyes, groomed her. He was also in a toxic relationship with a woman a while ago (before she lost her life last year), which was both of their faults.
I'm a little disappointed as an older sibling, so Would I be an Asshole for telling my sister how I feel about her relationship with a 38 (almost 39) year old? Feel free to ask anything in the comments and I'll do my best to answer to my ability

Hi all,
I am contemplating a gift idea for my best friend and his soon to be born son and wanted to tap into your expertise.
The idea is to start an infinity bottle in his son’s honor, with the goal of contributing to it once a year. The rough thinking is to buy a bottle of whiskey once a year around his birthday, and drink 1/3-1/2 of the bottle together (me and my best friend), and contribute the other half to the infinity bottle. Then, on his son’s 21st birthday we can tap into the infinity bottle and begin to drink it down / continue it.
I liked the concept because it is a gift that would bring us all together and would represent the continued relationship and long term commitment.
Any pitfalls or any reason why this would be a bad idea from a whiskey storage perspective? Though we’d probably not drink bad whiskey, I’m less concerned on taste and more focused on sentiment / ensuring it doesn’t go bad / oxidize.
I estimate I’d need an airtight glass ~2-3 gallon bottle for this exercise.
Curious if anyone has done something similar or has expertise relevant to this! Thanks in advance.

Shaye: ...How would you assess what happened on university campuses in Alberta this week?
Eric: Well, I think a number of things are true. Number 1 is, of course - that is protected speech and of course, that was/did appear to be, by all accounts, a peaceful assembly. So there's no question that because the charter applies, the individuals on those campuses at U of A and U of C, had protected charter rights. Now, the next question. Is/does a no-camping rule - is that a reasonable limit for universities to enforce? And I think there's good arguments to suggest that it is.
I mean, for example, if it's true for this protest, it's got to be true for all protests. So, does it mean that anybody protesting anything can simply move into a university campus and set up camp, and live there, perhaps indefinitely until their quote/unquote demands are met? If the university has to have a neutral approach to all these incidents of speech... so if there's a policy that says, - well, I guess camp is expression so I guess you can camp here - then they have to take that same position with the next protest, and the next protest, and somebody that wants to set up a anti-vaccine tent-city on the campus too. You can't pick your winners and losers.
So, does the university have a reasonable position to say - our campuses aren't equipped for camping? There are not bathroom facilities, there are not cooking facilities. There's a danger to individuals when they are here in the dark without campus security. We wouldn't be able to manage the situation if a counter-protest showed up in the middle of the night. If a fire tears through one of these tent cities and a bunch of 20-year-olds perish wouldn't we be liable? We are not equipped to be a campsite for expression. That seems to be, to me, not a crazy position for the university to take.
The question is, how does it execute that policy and I think that's where, you know, you're going to get a lot of yelling on both sides. But from my perspective, if you've got a responsible policy that says no camping, then what is the way to engage the protesters with that message. How do you communicate that to them? What timeline do you give them to exercise their free-speech rights and have a dignified exit? Or is your first move, on the first night at dawn to send in baton wielding police officers? I think there's some criticism here that that's a disproportionate response to a peaceful protest.
Smart dude. Good interview.

Most of us know that With Sympathy was mostly a Ministry Vanilli situation, with the record execs basically writing/producing the album in hopes of making the next Joy Division.
Whenever he's asked about this era, he always bridges it with Land of Rape & Honey, i.e. "then I did Stigmata and the whole band came together" sentiment.
Twitch seems like the lost middle child, and seeing as how it got clumped into the stuff Ministry never performed live before this last show, I get how it fits in the Sympathy era, but a few things about this I don't understand.
For one, it's grimy industrial that aligns much more with Front 242 or early RevCo, especially the drum programming. Some song structures kind of have a Sympathy feel, but it's in no way danceable to the Joy Division crowd. I can't see this being a studio forced pop project.
Secondly, it's got more samples than a Skinny Puppy album, as in offbeat clips and random industrialish stuff. I would have no issue believing this is a Ministry album if I just got into the band today.
That said, it's barely mentioned in interviews and I just feel like there's nothing cringe about it, no goofy hooks or forced lyrics. Kind of like a guitar-free Rape & Honey.
Does anyone have Al's take on it? I get that Sympathy is like a bad ex and Honey is the first marriage, so is Twitch the rebound?

I literally had never watched her standup so had no clue what to expect. 5 minutes in I’m like what the hell is wrong with this lady? Literally saying she wishes that her friends lose their babies or have an abortion when she blows out her birthday candles. I googled it to see what other people were saying about it and of course she’s popular on the child free subreddit. I was curious so I clicked on it, and wow. lol I cannot believe people like that exist. It’s wild and hilarious at the same time.

***Lily*** “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have run off when I did. I should’ve known you would have my best interests at heart,” I whisper.
“I… I don’t have a heart…” He chuckles meekly.
I chuckle too and respond, “Still, you’re as generous as you are funny. Strong as you are quick. And clever as you are funny. As annoying as it can be sometimes.”
I laugh again. After a moment, I can feel the awkwardness lift as he chuckled then started to move his arms. Suddenly he hugs me back, tightly. Something wet ran down my cheek and I hear him murmur something and ask, “Did you say something?”
“What? No.” He says. He then pushes me back as he says, “Oh crap! We forgot to get you leather armor!”
“Now, now dearie. Believe it or not, we actually took care of it while you were running around looking for her.” Silkie says coming up towards us down the stairs.
“Oh. How did you…” he starts to say as he looks towards me. He then stops and stares at me for a minute. “What happened to your hair?” He asks.
“Oh! This? Believe it or not, this is my original hair color. Do you… do you like it?” I ask back.
“I do. It really is captivating.” He says, putting his hat back on.
I smile. Afterwards, we turn towards the voice that yells, “Yargh! All done. Let’s see how it fits now, yargh.”
It’s Mr. Doe holding the leather armor from before. “That was fast.” Silkie says.
“Yargh. I’ve done me fair share of tanning. This be nothing to a mighty man of the sea, yargh.” He says.
I get up and go over to try them on again.
“Hey John. You got here fast. Did you lock up shop already?” Wabbajack asks him.
“Lock? Why would I lock up me shop, yargh.” He answers.
There is a moment of silence at that statement.
“You’re joking. Right?” Wabbajack asks.
After I am done putting on the leather gloves, shin-guards, and breastplate, I notice that the gloves and shin-guards fit better, and the breastplate conforms a lot better to my shape than before too. “Wow, this is a lot better!” I announce.
“Wow, that is an impressive refit.” Silkie adds.
“Refit? From who?” Wabbajack asks.
“That was Iris’s old assassin armor.” Silkie answers.
Wabbajack looks back at the armor for a minute. Afterwards, he just says, “Impressive refit.”
I then to puff my face in annoyance.
Silkie looks back at Mr. John Doe and asks, “I gotta say, your skills with leather is astonishing but, I don’t think that you quite have what it takes to run your Own business. What do you say you come work for us? Open up your shop here? That way, you can focus on your leatherworks and we can handle your business side of things.”
He takes a puff of his corn-cob pipe and says, “Yargh, well. That would be a lot more fun for me too, yargh. Mayhaps…” He then shakes his head as he says, “Yargh, I can’t. I already have a shop. I can’t abandon it, yargh.”
At that point, a ball of eyeballs with a funny hat float towards him. It then says, “Observer 2-5-6-9 reporting. You are Mr. John Doe, correct?”
“Yargh, that be I. Who’s asking?” Mr. Doe responds.
“Observer 2-5-6-9. I regret to inform you that your store, “The Blubbering Walrus”, has been ransacked and looted. All items, including the boards that made the structure, were taken. We apologize for your loss. Would you like to make a report?” it answers in an almost robotic tone.
“Yargh! What! Me entire store is gone!” Mr. Doe exclaims.
What did you expect? You left the store unsupervised and unlocked. Still, it Is kinda surprising to hear that they took the Structure as well.
“Yes. Unfortunately, none of your items, or building, were insured by the Dimensional Union of Multiplying Basic Opportunities, so you will not be compensated for the loss of any of your stock. We wish you luck in your future endeavors.” It says as it floats towards me.
“Observer 2-5-6-9, reporting. Are you Lily Extravagund?” it then asks me.
“Um, yes?” I answer.
“I regret to inform you that your picnic basket was stolen in the recent raid on the “Blubbering Walrus”. Unfortunately, none of your items were insured by the Dimensional Union of Multiplying Basic Opportunities, so you will not be compensated for the loss. We apologize and wish you luck in your future endeavers.” It then floats away.
“Okay… that was interesting.” I say.
“You might want to reconsider her offer.” Wabbajack says.
“Yargh, business is hard. Very well madame. If you really think me works are worthy, I’ll reopen the Blubbering Walrus here. Although, I will need me own tools, yargh.” He says, offering his hand.
“That’s all well and good but, unfortunately, I am not the person to decide that. That would be up to Iris.” Silkie says, crossing two of her arms and putting one against her cheek and the other on her hip.
“Who? Yargh.” He asks.
“My sis.” Wabbajack says.
“Yargh! That be a surprise. Any advice?” Mr. Doe asks Wabbajack.
As helpful as ever, Wabbajack just shrugs. He then goes, “OH! Buffalo wings! She loves those.”
Silence.
“Don’t worry dear, I’ll put in a good word for you.” Silkie says. “Go ahead and wait down here while I go talk to her.” She says as she goes back up the stairs.
“Looks like you’re on the fast track to being part of the family John.” Wabbajack mentions, offering his hand.
Mr. Doe takes a puff and takes it. They then perform a vigorous shake. He then takes another puff and goes back to the cafeteria.
Wabbajack looks back towards me and asks, “Well. Take two, are you ready to try getting a familiar?”
I adjust all my new gear. From my mask and emblem to my still-empty quiver, all the way to my new shin-guards. Making sure that it’s comfortable. I then let out a chuckle. Wabbajack asks, “What’s so funny?”
“Nothing. I’m just starting to feel like a Real adventurer.” I answer.
He laughs. I then let out a laugh as well.
I then skip towards the door. As I am skipping, I look over my shoulder and say, “Come on! We still got to head to Mogsten’s!”
He adjusts his hat and says, “Coming!” He then starts walking behind me and says, “Hey! Shouldn’t You be following Me?”
I chuckle as I say, “Well then, move faster!”
I hear him chuckle as he immediately catches up to me.
We open the door and head on out back to Mogsten’s. I stay close to Wabbajack so not to get lost again. I eventually look back up to the sky, between the clouds and the flying creatures with and without cities on their back. It’s all so crazy. I feel more alive than I have felt in, well, ever. A month ago, I would have laughed someone out of town if they had told me a place like this existed. Now, I can’t help but imagine what else is out there. There must be So much if Wabbajack, with how much he has seen and done, if he still gets surprised every now and again. Magic is real, and it is Improved with science. A thought occurs however so I ask, “Hey, is there more than what’s here or is there other countries or whatever they might be called?”
He puts a finger to his chin and answers, “Well, it goes on forever. It’s all Spiritopia but there are different cultures depending how far out you go. Up is typically for the people who enjoy flying as opposed to walking and down is for the people who prefer something overhead at all times, like molemen, certain kinds of vampires, and some reptile people. The list goes on.” He then points to the right and says, “If I’m not turned around again, that should be towards the oceanic district, for the ones who enjoy or need to be moisturized at all times. The other way is the forest district where people who enjoy that kind of place. Personally, I have thought about a treehouse myself. Each kind of district offers unique kinds of goods but, the city district, the place that we are at now, offers goods from all of them but it’s more generalized. The forest district offers some unique fruits and poisons that aren’t sold here for example. But, unless you are looking for something incredibly specific, you should be able to find it here.”
“Wow… this place goes on forever huh?” I say amazed. I then ask, “What about sandy areas? Are there species who need that kind of environment?”
He shrugs and says, “Well, before you get to the oceanic district, there is quite a bit of sand. Not to mention, sand bathing is surprisingly popular so there are businesses here that offer that service. But, not exactly popular material to build on. Some people like to go camping there however.”
It’s like a veritable playground. I ask another question, “Now that I think about it, was this place always like this or were there people who cultivated it like this?”
He tilts his head as he answers, “Well, that’s the thing with certain dimensions. Some just are. This is a perfect example of that kind of place. There is no history, no records, or no previous involvement. This place was just paved and ready for the first group of people who came by. Although, what was weird, even by my standards, was that there were Detailed instructions on how to cultivate All this. That is the only time that had Ever happened AND people following it.”
“Wait. Instructions? So… Someone left it?” I ask.
“Well, yes. Someone had to. The problem is, there was no traces on it whatsoever. It’s like it came with the dimension.” He answers, pointing a finger in the air.
“And that doesn’t happen often?” I ask as well.
“Well, the instructions part is actually pretty common. But it was discovered by a group of people with the diversity and skill that were willing to follow it. That. That takes planning of an extraordinary scale. Most people, even with the instructions, just ignore it and start doing their own thing. Which usually causes problems down the road. Hubs like this are rare admittedly. Especially as free as it is.” He answers again, this time scratching his head.
“So, is Spiritopia one of a kind?” I ask.
“As far as I know but, I wouldn’t be surprised if there was another similar to it however.” He says, as he walks normally again.
I look forward to try and process all this stuff but, as I do, I see Mogsten’s sign over his tent.
Before we walk in, I stop Wabbajack.
“Hmm? Don’t tell me your having doubts now, are you?” he asks.
I shake my head and say, “I Have to know something.”
“What’s up?” he asks.
“Is chewed gum really an ingredient in certain things?” I ask.
He lets out a laugh as he answers, “Surprisingly. The fact that they are pre-chewed make it easier to get samples from certain creatures. For example, would you rather get venom directly from a snake or trick it with some gum and extract it that way?”
“I guess that is a possibility…” I say.
“Don’t get me wrong, it’s Definitely not as concentrated as pure extract but, it’s usually good enough for moderate level stuff.” He explains.
We stand there for a minute. He then asks, “Was that all?”
I snap out of it and say, “Oh! Yes. Let’s do this!” I then march right through the flap towards the surprisingly large inside.
As we enter, we see Mogsten, in full on bit mode, with a customer. Looks like a fishman.
“Yes. It is quite a rare piece. I don’t see how I could sell it for anything less than, say, a thousand currency?” I hear him say.
“A thousand! Forget that! I would buy it for twenty currency.” The fishman says.
“But sir, giant’s horns are indeed rare. Not to mention to find one willing to give it up is even More difficult. I don’t know when I would ever get another one! Nine hundred fifty.” Mogsten states.
“Ha! Nine hundred fifty? Dude, this shop is terrible! If you don’t want me to spread the word around that you rip off your customers with absurd prices Gnome!” He pauses and grabs the horn. He then says, “Then I guess the price on this is free. Ha!”
“Actually, nine hundred fifty is a pretty fair price for a giant’s horn.” Wabbajack points out.
“And who asked…” he starts to say as he turns around. He then sees Wabbajack and panics “A-a-a-a. You! Crap! Look, don’t kill me man! Look, I’ll give you the horn! Just, don’t hurt me!”
“Umm, that horn isn’t yours though. You haven’t paid Mr. Mogsten for it yet.” I point out.
“Shut up you brat! I ain’t talking to you! Besides, he’s a Gnome. What’s he gonna do? Throw rocks at me?” the fishman says.
Wabbajack steps towards him and he just falls backwards. Before the fishman can even mouth whatever he wants to say, Wabbajack says, “One, this “brat” is a very good friend of mine. Two, gnome or not, you don’t just take whatever products you want just because you feel like it. Three, that gnome could easily kill you in any number of ways. And four, you won’t make any friends if you continue being as rude as you have been.”
I see a puddle appear on the floor and some gasping. He then just falls flat. He looks like he is still breathing.

🚨 WARNING: VYBE BPI App Scam Alert! 🚨
Hey everyone,
I wanted to share a recent experience I had to raise awareness about a scam that’s been making the rounds. Please read and share to keep your friends and family safe!
This morning, I received a call from someone claiming to be from BPI. Here’s a breakdown of the call and the red flags to watch out for:

1. Caller Claiming to be from BPI: The caller introduced himself as a BPI representative (Red flag #1).
   
2. Promoting VYBE App and Rewards Points: He talked about the VYBE app and mentioned rewards points I supposedly hadn’t redeemed from my BPI credit card (Red flag #2 - I don’t have a BPI credit card).
   
3. False Sense of Security: He kept insisting that BPI never asks for personal info over the phone, trying to sound legitimate.
   
4. Supervisor Tactics: He transferred me to his "supervisor," who then asked for my personal information, like my birthday. When I refused, she threatened that my account would be on hold for 45-60 days by the fraud department (Red flag #3).
   
5. Standing Firm: I told her that I’d rather visit the branch personally and that their scare tactics wouldn’t work on me.
   

Key Takeaways: - BPI Will Not Initiate Calls: BPI does not call customers out of the blue. If you receive such a call, it's likely a scam. - No BPI Peso Rewards System: There’s no such thing as a BPI Peso Rewards system. Any mention of this is a clear indicator of a scam.
Stay Safe: - Do Not Share Personal Information: Never give out your personal information over the phone to unsolicited callers. - Verify Directly with BPI: If you’re ever in doubt, hang up and call BPI directly using their official contact numbers. - Report Suspicious Calls: Let BPI know about any suspicious calls to help protect others.

Hi guys! This is my first time posting here and i need your opinions. Me and my MM have been together for a little over 2 years now and since then i’ve celebrated my birthdays with him (even if it was one week later). We don’t really date because it’s hard to find an opportunity(or so he says) only when it’s my birthday and one other time last year. My birthday is coming up in a week and i kept mentioning it to him for about a month now that i wanna celebrate it with him and it’s also the perfect opportunity because we both would be free that day… or so i thought. Today when i asked him again about it he told me that “he’s not sure” and that “he doesn’t think it’s possible “ because he has lots of meetings next week including that day and that he can’t just cancel because “it would seem weird if he would cancel meetings just to hang out with friends”(his excuse for when he’s meeting with me). The thing that bothers me is that the week after that one (on the day that we’re both free)he has another bday celebration and he can’t miss that one even though it’s 2h30min away(5 hrs driving in total) and the week after that one he planned meetings again on the same day we’re both free( he works 6 days a week so we can only meet on a particular day). But what bothers me is that i asked him what if he had meetings on the day with the other bday and he said he would cancel them even though “they’re really important and can’t really postpone them” so then why can’t he do that for my birthday or why did he even plan them when he knew it’s the only day we could actually go out together. It just hurts me that i’m not a priority to him … He told me when he can find an opportunity we will do smth and that’s all he can tell me…and that’s probably gonna be a month from now at least, but that’s not celebrating my birthday… Do you think it’s right for me to feel upset?
PS. I know it seems like i make a big fuss about my birthday and that I should’ve known what I signed up for but tbh i never cared about celebrating my birthday before him, but he’s special to me and i just wanna spend it with him and have fun together …it’s also the only times we actually went out on dates so i was expecting it. How would you guys feel?
Thank you for reading all of this

Ok technically it hasn’t happened yet BUT. I will be graduating highschool in three weeks. I’ve been inspired by all the protests across the country at college campuses to stand in support of palestine in the time of genocide. i do not give a shit if this is controversial, the point of this post is: if i wear a pin of the palestinian flag on my gown, and the school doesn’t like that, could they legally withhold my diploma even though I passed school and have NEVER had any issues (detention, suspension or etc)? And if they did, would that be violating Tinker v. Des Moines (right to free speech in school)? Thanks everybody.

I’ll go first! Ours is called “Set Free” and is based on cascades 2017. Our pre show is Joshua Peterson promise of dawn. It’ll open with a flute solo and saxophone quartet and the opener will impact with free bird. Movement 2 is 1000 airplanes on the roof and labyrinth by Philip glass. Movement three is my body is a cage (like Scv 2018) and the closer will be shostakovich’s 10th symphony movement 2 and played over it is bird set free by Sia. It’s about letting the things preventing us from doing things go and having the ability to have free speech. Our props are a stage and a big bird cage with a tarp under it. This is my final year of marching band and I’m a flute section leader!
