#the lies we tell ourselves...

Oh... Oh, let me just watch a few episodes on the road. Check if I like this show or not before watching it on my TV...

This is the only thing I'm going to say about the election until it's over:

Anyone who did not vote for Harris or who attempted to dissuade people from voting for Harris, you are indirectly responsible for whatever shit Donald Trump does if he gets elected. That blood is primarily on his hands, yes. But it is also on yours. I hope you can live with that because I sure as hell wouldn't be able to.

Me: This new story I'm working on will be short. This time, for real.

The narrator: The story was not, in fact, short.

AITA for not helping more with my half sisters?

u/JohnnysBigD

I (M30) am the oldest of my siblings and my mother's only child. I have three younger, unmarried HALF sisters (F 19, 17, and 12 (?)) My father recently died and made me promise to look after my half-sisters and stepmother (F40). This is because basically everything he owned went to me and will go to my son (M4).

The thing is, they are fine. They have 500/year, which for 4 women living so simply is pretty good! And they got a great deal on rent from my stepmother's cousin so they don't need much from me at all. And this older lady has taken an interest in the two oldest half-sisters, she might leave them something when she dies. Plus I think the older one will marry well no matter what (F19 is really good looking, 17 used to be but she got sick or something). So I don't know why I would need to help them with anything.

Also, I really needed to build a greenhouse on the estate for my wife, and build some fences etc. and I bought this adjoining field, I would have been a fool not to buy it, so I'm really not that rich right now, I'm just getting by. I was almost in debt even, like 1000 pounds away from debt.

My wife thinks I'm perfectly in the right, but sometimes my half sister gives me this look that does something to my stomach and I think that feeling is guilt?

Edit: To be clear, after my father died I let them all stay at the house rent free for 6 months, which is a lot! And I was going to bring them food and stuff at their new house.

Edit 2: Yes that is all I have done for them, they moved really far away. I also tried to invite them over once but my wife had already invited someone else over.

I think the worst thing about this post was how deliberately you wrote "half" every time you referred to your sisters. I guess that's the only way you can tell yourself that it's okay to break a deathbed promise.

I really hope you get haunted you massive AH.

truly feel like after a certain age at the VERY LEAST Anxiety should disappear. Like, okay, you've been anxious and depressed since you were oh, right, 13 is that it? more or less. So that means your sentence is over. Welcome to the fun 30s. No more of that!

and yet

This may be difficult for many to realize, but if someone is 'your person' but you can't be honest and can't be yourself...

THEY'RE NOT YOUR FUCKING PERSON

[craftherpes]

"It will be ok."

That statement is always true.

Eventually.

For the people who survive.

But it's not ok because things turned out good, it's eventually ok because humans can adapt to almost anything that doesn't outright kill us instantly. It's rarely pleasant, and usually hard, but we adapt.

In abusive relationships, you think you're ok because you maybe have it under control and at least it's not worse.

In times of food shortage, it's ok because you get used to hungry and find ways to distract yourself and at least you're not alone.

People with terminal illnesses will tell you they're ok, because they're adapting to living with the end, not because they're actually ok with it coming.

So when someone says, "it will be ok," I find that true but not the slightest bit comforting.

Ok does not mean good. Ok means that you'll adapt and rationalize and normalize whatever awful shit happens, as long as it doesn't kill you quickly. Humans are very adaptable, it's kind of our thing, and ok is just our way of saying we're adapting.

y’all ever set up a queue and you’re proud that you’ve actually done some writing so you wanna show it all on the dash immediately which completely defeats the purpose of the queue? no? just me?

"X is just a guy" is a popular phrase to throw around these parts when talking about blorbos, but I swear, and I am 100% stone faced serious when I say this, not a single character has ever done it quite like Geralt from The Witcher books.
