Murder mittens!

He was “transcribing” the messages I supposedly sent him. Really sick stuff.

There was a kid, maybe 14 or 15 who complained about his mum and sister in r/parentsarefuckingstupid or a similar sub. He didn’t mention being autistic in the post but it was pretty clear - it was his behaviour and response which was inappropriate, not his mum’s. Having grown up with an autistic brother his reaction was very familiar to me. I tried to give him some tips to help him avoid conflict and smooth the situation over - “apologise even if you don’t mean it right now, it’s the easiest way of getting your game back tonight. In future don’t raise your voice to your sister even if she’s shouting. Remove yourself to your bedroom to calm down. Ask to speak to your mum alone to explain your side of the argument. Etc” pretty benign advice that wasn’t judgemental or insulting in anyway. I put a decent amount of time into writing my response in a way that was constructive and helpful from his perspective. I felt pretty good about myself afterwards, like I’d done my good deed for the day.

The kid went absolutely psycho. He was writing comments and immediately deleting them, then saying I was sending him extremely inappropriate sexual messages. He was summoning all the bots he could think of, like the n-word bot to accuse me of racism (I’ve never ever used the n-word). It was so out of left field I was stunned. A couple of people stuck up for me in the comments but it left me really shaken. Who the fuck accuses someone of being a racist pedophile out of nowhere? That boy needs help and it has nothing to do with his autism.

I’d forgotten that most Americans don’t have passports. But I’m certain many under 16s fly across the US unaccompanied every year - shared custody agreements must make it conditional in at least a few thousand cases. Is there’s not a standard photo ID card available in the US aside from a passport or drivers license?

That’s a really good point and makes a lot of sense. Tbf if I were putting my child on a flight unaccompanied, I wouldn’t want to risk them having to deal with the extra stress of not having the correct ticket though. It’s one thing to take the risk yourself when no one is walking you through the airport, but surely the parents knew the kid wouldn’t be able to to go awol mid journey?

I’m not blind and can confirm this app doesn’t have the capability to message users yet. If you put an @ before a user’s name in a comment it notifies them. That’s the closest thing to direct messaging I can see.

I tried to sign up just now but it’s US only. I don’t have a TV at all, I can’t afford one. I’d love this.

If you take action against him, is he likely to take it out on your friend? If she can’t leave him, that might inform your decision.

“Everything happens for a reason”

• technically correct, completely unhelpful.

“God doesn’t give you more than you can handle”

• Fuck. Off.

It’s a bit like why we started naming storms in the UK - so people would take them more seriously.

She looks a little like Paris Hilton in the top photo.

VosotrosPac doesn’t have quite the same ring to it.

Here’s the top comment and a few replies. There’s a lot like this:

You're just taking coins, that we've paid cash for, with no consideration? Not even going to give us the equivalent value in premium time for our existing coins and coins we are going to end up not getting?

What a shit way to do things. It’s like they want to alienate the users who gave them money in the past

Exactly, this genuinely is the worst way I have EVER been scammed in my entire life.

There’s !mentalhealth@lemmy.world

I second this. Smush is so cute!

There’s a perfect example of that on my ground news widget today. It’s shows “blind spots” stories that the left and the right are under reporting. Todays under reported story by the left is “Tucker Carlson interviews Andrew Tate”. Of course the left aren’t reporting on these two cretins spreading their hatred. It’s not news, and it doesn’t deserve attention.

Your kid sounds excellent - good work!

Cool! Where in the world was this? How cold was it at the time?
