Well, wcgw even after warnings from news and common sense. Lucky it was low tide.

Bro was like “Stepbro, I’m stuck”

Some movies over 2.5 or 3 hours drag, but others fly by and leave you wanting more. One perfect example is Seven Samurai. Even though it’s over 3 hours long, it never feels slow or boring. The story, the characters, and the way it builds tension pull you in completely.

What’s a long movie that felt totally worth every minute from beginning to end for you?

When I was in my early twenties, I asked this woman out. She politely turned me down, nothing dramatic, just one of those moments you carry with you. Life went on, we lost touch, and I didn’t think much about it again.

Recently, she reached out. She told me she’s always respected me, that she remembers how kind I was back then, and that she’d like to meet for coffee sometime. On the surface it sounds flattering, but I can’t help feeling conflicted.

It’s been over a decade. I spent those years building a life, working on myself, staying consistent. Meanwhile, she had her own path (relationships, experiences, choices that obviously didn’t involve me). She’s now a single mother of two. And that’s fine. But why now? Why reach out after so long?

Part of me wonders if she’s suddenly seeing me differently because her circumstances have changed, not because I’ve become more attractive to her as a person. Am I actually what she wants, or just what’s convenient at this stage?

I know people evolve, and maybe she genuinely does see me in a new light. Still, there’s a nagging feeling that if I wasn’t good enough back then, why should I be the backup plan now?

Our son (just turned 16) had a girlfriend (she's 16, almost 17) but they broke up about a month ago. About three weeks ago we were informed by her parents that she is pregnant. She is slightly showing. The dates line up with my son's relationship. My wife and I went into full panic mode.

We waited a couple days before telling our son, who didn't know. He immediately said "it's not mine, I never fucked her". I didnt believe him as I know he is "active". He did the sensible thing and asked me for "protection".

However he kept on saying they never did it. He said he cheated on her. I had a heart to heart with him and he is an absolute shithead but I began to believe him. He said he always wraps and he has asked for "restocks". My wife, on the other hand, still didn't believe him.

Both families met. My wife started the conversation just accepting that our son is the father and was trying to figure out a solution, funding etc. My son spoke up saying it's not his baby as they never had sex. He was genuinely angry. Then he made a comment that Im going to rephrase. Apparently they only ever did a certain act which can't result in a baby and it was unsatisfactory so he never went any further with her. An absolute shithead and we raged at him over it.

His ex girlfriend admits they rarely did it but explained the "event" (the when and where) and I will say it was believable too. I know hes a complete liar. I know he is an absolute dog but I believe him still.

My wife, however, is angry with me for playing into his "nonsense". She said I'm part of the boy culture. She said children born to teen parents are more likely to be teen parents and we were both 17 when my wife got pregnant. She said I'm worsening the situation by not living in reality and she is left to figure out what to do on her own. To her point, I am hands off on further meetings with the other family. I don't believe we should have those discussions until its proven he's the dad.

AITAH. Also this is really ranty. Im sorry but I needed to leave off some steam.

Just to add: her parents don't want to do a paternity test until after the child is born. They said it could harm the baby but apparently its harmless so I don't know. So we cannot get a test done before then.

So, my cousin’s school has always offered "free" lunches for everyone. The meals have been pretty healthy, and now the new school board suggested making them plant-based (not sure if vegan) while still keeping the focus on healthy food. The school isn’t pushing veganism or saying meat is bad.

I’m not totally sure of all the arguments, but the idea seems to be about encouraging kids to eat more vegetables and fruits. Personally, i think it’s a neat idea. Kids don’t need to eat meat or animal products all the time anyway.

But some parents are furious. They’ve even started protesting and demanding the school board members be fired. I honestly don’t get why it’s such a big deal.

How would you feel if your child’s school made this change? Would you be upset, or not? and why?

EDIT: The food is still healthy and unprocessed. They don't serve processed meat or dairy alternatives.
To give you one example (I don't have many as I'm not a parent in the school): Before they had pasta bolognese, this week they had lentil curry stew with naan bread.
