Russian Man Almost Interrupted By Car Accident


It's hard to tell what's going on here, but by the looks of it, this guy is giving an interview when a car speeds through the scene, nearly interrupting him. If it were any worse, he might have not had the time to take another drag.

Man's Unicorn Costume Sends Co-Worker Into Tears


The mystical unicorn that is Ferdinand was not taking the whole Halloween thing lightly. This'll always have its rightful place in history for being an awesome Halloween costume, in the middle of an otherwise mundane weather forecast.

Bridezilla Wants A Redo Wedding, Gets Rejected, Pitches Fit


If you play the part of a nasty bridezilla the first time around, you should be more than ready for anyone that attended that mess of a performance to reject your request to do the whole thing over again. Seems like this particular family member was totally in the right for not wanting to attend the dramatics yet again. Folks in the comments section would all seem to be in agreement as well. 

For some more juicy bridezilla drama check out this story about the time a bridezilla Karen ended up looking like a pauper at her own wedding.

1.

Text - AITA for telling my sister I won't be in her second/makeup wedding? My (25f) sister (30f) got married six years ago. The wedding did not go quite as planned so she and her husband have decided they want a redo and are planning to have their wedding late next year. I was her bridesmaid/kinda maid of honor with one of her friends, and she treated me like shit. I was younger then and didn't really say much because the rest of my family would have told me to deal with it for her day, and be t

2.

Text - I was SO stressed out because of her and then at her wedding one of our cousins had a medical emergency followed by our brothers girlfriend going into labor. I bore the brunt of her anger that day and afterward she got pissy with our brothers girlfriend for taking the spotlight from her and now they don't talk and she doesn't know our nephew.

3.

Text - So when she asked me again I told her no. She wanted a reason. I told her to reflect on how she treated me at her last wedding and left it there. Now our parents, paternal grandma and paternal aunts and great aunts are all rallying to get me to say yes, and to apologize for saying no. ΑΙΤΑ? 12.1k 833 Share

Text - Mysterious-Winter616 • 10h She's still holding a grudge because your nephew was born on wedding day? Damn. So l'm guessing she hasn't done any maturing during the last 6 years. I would not want a repeat of that experience. Basically you've got a year before the wedding. By when do you have to let them know if you're changing your mind? Book a vacation that you just forgot to tell them about it. Lol. NTA Reply 1.7k ...

If you feel you were treated badly and don't want to be put in a position where it could happen again, well you have every right to do as you please and shouldn't feel any guilt for that choice.

Text - kma1391 • 8h NTA. Don't put yourself through that again. And you don't have anything to bloody apologize for. Did your family not see this behaviour from her? Or is she the "golden child" that can do no wrong? Reply 149 ...

Text - Sentahlta • 10h NTA it's not on you to make her day perfect, and since it's already a do-over sheʼll be even worse if this one doesn't go exactly to her every plan. It's very indulgent to have a second wedding when already married, especially next year when everywhere will be packed with weddings that got cancelled during corona. Everything will be hard work from shopping to venues to food. You already did it once and you shouldn't have to take on the emotional labour of a second round fo

Text - Ok-Beginning-5922 • 10h • Asshole Enthusiast [6] 1 Award NTA. She's holding a grudge against a woman and her child, because she went into labour. That says everything we need to know about her. Hope people respond in situations like that, tells you a lot about who they are. She doesn't recognise her poor behaviour, and never apologise for how she treated you, which means she feels entitled to treat you that way. Stick with no, ignore any messages regarding this, and end conversations with

Text - BrownandBlonde • 9h • Partassipant [3] NTA Im surprised her marriage has lasted six years. Was her husband blinking S.O.S the last time you saw him? But seriously, tell her and your family the reason, don't be vague. Reply 159

11.

Text - Cranberryblue112 • 10h NTA No. Hell no. No with a cherry on top. You don't deserve to be treated like shit, especially by a Bridezilla that is demanding a second wedding for her own selfish reasons. I would distance myself from that whole train wreck if I were you. Your sister is only going to get worse before she gets better. She clearly has issues. Reply 40 ...

12.

Text - WembleyToast • 11h • Asshole Aficionado [19] NTA but I would say that it's better to state the reasons why you felt uncomfortable last time rather than hoping she'll figure it out on her own. She probably won't self- reflect in the way you hope, she could lash out and say that you're being vague or petty, and that's not what you want. Good luck. Reply 140

13.

Text - not-into-usernames • 10h • Partassipant [3] NTA. My whole family treated me like trash during then year before my sister's wedding and every time I had a panic attack they comforted me by telling me she'd do the same for my wedding. What should actually have happened is not being treated like shit in the first place. You should be able to choose how you'd like to be treated as an adult, so it's only fair for you to stand up for yourself. Don't give in! Reply 1 64 ...

Text - Alternative_Year_340 • 9h NTA This sounds like a gift grab. Or someone who enjoys the wedding more than the marriage. I don't think l'd even attend at all, let alone be a bridesmaid again. Reply 31 ...

15.

Text - galaxy-parrot •9h • Partassipant [2] NTA It takes a special kind of person to not be happy with all of the attention they got on their first wedding day. Because that's all this second wedding is, "I didn't get enough attention the first time round". She sounds like a nightmare to be perfectly honest. I wouldn't bother either. Six years has no real significance. Renewing vows at 10, 15 or 20 years? Sure. But six years? Give me a break Reply 65 ...

Text - Livid_Huckleberry_28 • 10h NTA and I am surprised anyone in your family is willing to entertain this joke of a second wedding. It is not your fault the first one is shitty and you ate totally in the right for not wanting to have a second go around. Why would they think you would want to deal with her being a bridezilla again. Reply ↑ 17 ...

19.

Text - dart1126 • 7h • Partassipant [1] NTA, especially because it seems like 6 years later she only wants a do-over because of the examples you gave like sister in law having the gall to go into labor and 'ruining her spotlight'. Anyone that self centered is bound to be even worse the second time around. Here's hoping there's a proposal or pregnancy announcement during this one...you don't happened to have a boyfriend do you? Tee-hee. Reply 1 17 ...

20.

Text - BellaSantiago1975 • 9h • Partassipant [3] NTA!!! Stand your ground. The fact that she didn't reflect and apologise, and instead is just demanding it shows she hasn't changed. Hell, the fact that she doesn't know her own nephew because your bro's girlfriend went into labor - how self centred is she?? l'd be staying as far as possible from her do-over fake second wedding.

22.

Text - ringadingsweetthing • 7h NTA The fact that she wants to go through all this again so it's 'perfect' tells you what a shitshow she's going to be. And God forbid something else goes slightly wrong. Save your mental health. Your family will get used to the idea that your 'no' means NO. Reply ...

Your sister is mad because someone went into labour... I'm sorry but that's not a controllable thing. Your body doesn't care where you are, it's now focused of getting the baby out.

Don't give in and if you're part of your nephew's life then maybe you should enjoy spending the day with him. Reply ...

Text - periwinkle_cupcake • 8h NTA You know your sister. You know how she treated you. You know you were her emotional punching bag. You know that she hasn't changed. I'm guessing that her behavior has been enabled for years by these relatives who are now berating you. You do not have to participate in her second shit show. Sit back and let her implode on herself.

Text - JakeT-life-is-great • 7h NTA - and if anyone tries to convince you to do it calmly explain that it was a terrible experience, you were repeatedly treated like shit. Then to stop them from asking again go on the offenisve. Ask the person why they think so little of you that they want you to go through it again. Ask them why they don't like you. Ask them why they favor your sister. Put them on the spot with uncomfortable questions and they will stop asking. Reply

You're sparing yourself the stress and distress. I'd probably skip the re-do wedding altogether. Reply ...

Man Counters Lame Accusations With Epic Spite Video Game


Oh boy, he had us at spite video game. There's nothing better in this world than seeing a ridiculous argument go on to inspire the development of a game that would seem to truly make people feel better. Folks in this comments section on this particular pro revenge story went ahead and tried it out, and loved it! Lastly, apparently if you go on Google and run a simple search for, "tetrads.io" you'll find the game. Go show some love! 

1.

Text - r/ProRevenge + Join u/postfu • 3h 1 e 2 3 2 1 Ridiculed, accused of lying and incompetence, I shoved burning facts down their throats and made a successful business in the process. "The best revenge is massive success." -Frank Sinatra TL;DR; Told I was lying and didn't know anything about game design. Made a spite video game that became a huge hit. Jackass is also forever immortalized within the game credits. PREFACE

2.

Text - This is a very unusual story compared to the typical posts you've read here. There's a lot to unpack but ll try to summarize everything as best I can. I hope you'll find it as entertaining as I did. And, what's great about this story is that it happened very recently, it happened here, evidence is searchable, and it's still kinda on-going. It's a tale of trolls, video game addiction, self-righteous arrogance, harassment, winning an impossible bet, a viral hit in Russia, and massive succes

3.

Text - Two months ago, there was a new reddit post about "using video game to ease depression" that caught my attention. The reason it caught my attention was because it was a game & study that I had in-depth knowledge of (from over a year prior.) Unlike everyone else in the thread, I was the only one who had actually seen the game, played it, knew the developers, and even had the original technical game design documents. The article discussed a variety of topics but never addressed exactly HOW

4.

Text - [SKIP THIS SECTION IF NEUROSCIENCE & GAME DESIGN DON'T INTEREST YOU] A quick side note about this article, for those that like extra details: One of the cool properties of ketamine is that, not only can it provide rapid and temporary relief for depression, it also actively heals damaged brain circuits. Then there's dopamine. A chemical that we internally produce, that has similar but less potent effects. There is no cure for depression, but these are promising treatments for some. The art

5.

Text - improved cognitive functioning, reducing impairment of the reward process, and improving the effectiveness of antidepressant medications. Video games can be a unique non-drug option to accomplish this while easing symptoms. Research has already shown that many popular games can already accomplish this (unintended effects by the game developers). By comparison, the game design they used in this theoretical study was highly limited in scope, so permanent benefits were negligible compared to

6.

Text - My summary posting was fine for a while, until predictable trolls arrived led by an "armchair game developer". Dr. Armchair definitely did not appreciate my post. It was an affront and insult to his profession. Within a few minutes, it dropped 30 karma. I don't care about imaginary internet points but I don't like being accused of lying. Dr. Armchair and his pals started with the usual "do you even lift?" Then it was quickly asserted, from their armchairs, that I knew nothing about flow,

7.

Text - It quickly devolved into Dr. Armchair gleefully, and repeatedly claiming, that he won, he was right, and I was wrong. He demanded that I essentially write a 300 page peer-reviewed study to prove him wrong, and when it couldn't be provided within 5 minutes, there were more gleeful cheers of "HAHA! I WAS RIGHT! I WAS RIGHT! I'M NOT LISTENING TO YOU LALALALALA.." Obviously, it was going to be impossible to reason with Dr. Armchair and his buddies. But actions speak louder than words. So, I c

8.

Text - Eventually the mods had enough. Dr. Armchair and his cronies harassment, ad hominem attacks, accusations and inflammatory attacks resulted in multiple posts being removed. But my promise still stood and I fully intended on keeping it. THE BOLD CLAIM The plan was simple: Create a proof of concept that demonstrates just the critical neuroscience principles that induce flow. To prove it beyond a doubt, I intended to also prove that MOST COMMON INGREDIENTS of a game are completely UNNECESSARY

9.

Text - No extras or frills. Built within a short period of time. No music. No sound effects. No animations. No story. No expensive art. In fact, hardly any at all: I would use ONE SINGLE ART ASSET for the gameplay (plus some lines.) No feature creep. No sign-in system. No gacha mechanics. No level design. No achievements. No RPG gamifications. • I could get at least a couple hundred people to play it. I should have also mentioned that it would be built with ZERO BUDGET and NO MARKETING. If this

10.

Text - HOW IT ENDED While I was preparing to stress test the game online, it was discovered by .ru bots that were scouring the web for new games. Even before the game was ready, they published the game link on several Russian gaming sites. The game exploded.

11.

Text - It has graphical similarities to Tetris, so it was a nice coincidence that the game essentially launched and did so well in Russia at first. After that, other game sites started discovering the game on their own too, even before I had a chance to submit the game myself. Most importantly, the proof of concept and everything I claimed worked (high ratings and retention). It proved so effective that the game is currently being played by hundreds of thousands of users worldwide. And it's a cl

12.

Text - I suppose you could say that there are many layers of revenge happening here, maybe even karmic justice or backfiring on their part, it's really hard to classify. The best kind of revenge is always massive success, and shoving it in their faces, however. But, on top of that, I also fully kept to my promises while proving these ignorant individuals so wrong they look like fools. I also added some extra salt to the wound. I figured that success of the game was partly due to Dr. Armchair's i
