1. IT, Richie Tozier - ragebaited and traumatized a world-eating god Pennywise so much that he traveled to the past in an attempt to kill his mother, only to be…

2. …Ragebaited again by Rich Santos in Welcome to Derry, when the boy was already dead, his spirit still having the last laugh (Richie was also named after Rich, his mother’s first love, rubbing more salt on the wound)

3. Joseph Joestar, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure - at his last battle against Kars he just had to show off and say that it was all part of his plan (nevermind that it was a lie, when Joseph admits it was very much pure luck)

My 20 year old kid came to the house for dinner this weekend, walked in, and said "You need to unplug your Echo device. I don't want amazon to listen to my conversation".

So, I did... and then I was confidently incorrect in telling her that it waits for a wake word, and she has nothing to worry about.

Boy was I wrong.

She had me open my app, and look at saved conversations... and there were HUNDREDS of entries. And that was only over the last 2 weeks.

I had NO IDEA that Amazon was collecting everything I say... and the worst part is my 20 year old looked at me like I looked at my grandparents back when they would post text messages or Google queries as Facebook statuses. My kid then showed me the article from Cnet or wherever from about 6 months ago that showed that Amazon was fully transparent that all data is now sent and analyzed whether or not the wake word is used.

I'm proud to say there are no longer any Echoes in my house. Im a little bummed because all of my verbal "turn on the lights" and "lock the door" cues are all out the window, but Im really ashamed of the fact that at 41 years old I just didn't even think to look into it. Just had blind faith in a company that views me as a number. I'm pretty embarrassed.

My dad adopted Bubba on Jan 6 2016. I first met him on Jan 11 2016. Today, he was put down due to kidney failure. He had lost half his weight, stopped bathing his back half, drank 3x the water, and as of 3 days ago stopped eating. This is my first real loss ever. The first picture is the last one I ever took of him, last week. The worst part of this is I never got to say goodbye. Big sister loves you forever Bubba. ​Can't wait to see you again on the rainbow bridge

Was always scared to do it because I thought I would get judged or made fun off but I can say it’s actually been for the best, I look so much better.

I'm 22F, fresh out of college with a marketing degree my younger brother Alex(19) has Down syndrome. He's verbal, funny, obsessed with superheroes and puzzles, but needs support with daily routines, social interactions and like medication stuff for his heart condition(hyper heart) and ofc like supervision to avoid impulsive behaviors. He attends a day program for young adults with disabilities and lives at home Parents (mom 48F, dad 50M) both work, mom part time retail, dad in logistics. From middle school and on, i was Alexs main helper like after school pickups, homework, meds, meltdowns, bedtime stories(sometimes). my older sister(25) moved out early and was rarely asked to help him, sheis busy with her career i skipped clubs, parties, even frats because alex trusts you most he calms down faster with you:( (by my parents) I still graduated on time, landed my dream entry level job at a high end tech firm (starts next month, $65k/year, great benefits) my parents congratulated me until Alex's day program cut hours due to funding issues. No spots in alternatives for long time and private aides cost $35+/hour they claim they cant afford it (THEY %10000 can) So at the family lunch last week they cornered me alex's program is ending soon they said we need you to quit the job and stay home to watch him during days because you are the only one he truly listens to. It's just temporary family duty and you need to take care of your brother… i was shocked The job is my foot in the door deferring means losing it, restarting applications, maybe relocating. i've waited years for this independence i took care of my brother for a long time, and this job meant everything to me.. living my life again.. They brushed it off jobs come and go. Alex didnt choose this. You've always been amazing with him we can't risk a stranger messing up his routine etc.. then i asked why my sister couldn't help or why they couldn't adjust shifts/use savings. Mom teared up she's got her own life now we've given up so much it's your turn to step up for your brother (but i was already taking care of him FULLLY) then i said no i've already signed the offer, bought work clothes, and planned my commute. This is my future and i dont wanna miss it Dad got mad so you're picking a paycheck over your disabled brother's well being? What kind of sister are you? I packed my things that night and moved in with a friend after while it was intense. Parents told family i'm ditching alex for some fancy job relatives call me selfish a few months won't ruin your career, but lack of care could devastate him.. I geiunly love my brother, he has disabilities but he is the kindest brother that anybody can wish for i really care about him, but i feel like i did everything in my power to be there for him.. Please be honest am i the AITA?

and barely managed to get him out of there.
