I read aloud this post on my podcast It’s So Early! [8:04] fountain link

I have a sister that's six years older than me. My parents, for years, cancelled on me last minute because of my sister. I have a basketball game. Oops, sorry, sister doesn't feel like going out. I'm graduating. Oops, sorry, sister had a bad day at work. They have missed both major and smaller events in my life because of her meltdowns.

I met the love of my life and we decided to tie the knot. From the beginning, I told my parents how I was worried my sister would ruin another special moment in my life. My mom told me over and over again it would not happen. The day of my wedding, I received a voicemail from my mom saying they couldn't come because my sister's dog was sick and she was upset. I was hurt, but my best man, however, is a jokester. He took my phone, then went to my fiancé and asked if he could post a video of our wedding as a gift on social media. She loved his idea. I had no idea about it until I came home.

Our honeymoon was at a lakeside cabin, so I had no cell service. The post caption was,

The video was still pictures of us next to her parents, me on the dance floor, cutting the cake. You know, things where you would normally see both parents in wedding pictures. But the sound behind the video was my mom's voicemail explaining how they couldn't come because my sister's dog was sick.

I came home a week later to hundreds of messages, family members from both sides insisting I take it down. I was told my sister hasn't stopped crying. My mom is refusing to leave the house.

I may be the a-hole here. I didn't take it down when I got my messages. I didn't call my family back right away. I waited until my vacation time was over at work and enjoyed my time with my wife in our new home. Before I contacted anyone, my dad told me to take down the video. It was, quote, just a bad night for them, that they will make it up to me and my wife for not coming to our wedding.

My reply was,

It's a once-in-a-lifetime thing. You choose to ignore my feelings on the whole matter. Then he just repeated he will make it up to me. I told him I would take down the video only when he made up missing my wedding. Flustered, we both hung up the phone before we both said things we shouldn't have. Am I the a-hole here? I could have just taken down the video.

The top response on reddit was: [NTA]

What do you think Stacker News?

Please start your judgment of the OP with one of the following: [NTA]: Not the A-hole [YTA]: You’re the A-hole [NAH]: No A-holes here [ESH]: Everyone Sucks Here [AAFP]: A-holes Are For Pooping (Thanks @DesertDave!)

[ESH] This is, of course, hilarious. I especially love how the wedding video the best friend made just has the voicemail audio from the mother saying how they're going to have to miss the wedding because his sister is upset over her dog feeling sick. That is just a chef's kiss. But I would say [ESH] because there's no need for him to just roast his parents even further so publicly. But it seems like definitely all the relations are already pretty irrevocably shattered and destroyed. So I wish the best for the OP.

And my thoughts to you guys, Stacker News, are did you enjoy it? Did you enjoy reading this AITA post or listening to me read it? Did you enjoy casting judgment? What are your thoughts? Should the OP have taken the video down? Was he the a-hole? When I think about actually starting a territory in Stacker News, it's about doing something that's not been done before. And thinking about content you would want to read more of. I know Ask SN already exists. But to me, the value in a territory is not just to browse the territory every day. But really, if we could subscribe to all posts from the territory, that's, that's the excitement, you know, to have the post fee high enough. Is it 202 sats? Is it higher? 300 sats? 420 sats? Make it so it's a territory with a new approach. A higher barrier to entry. 420 sats. So if someone makes a post, you know it's going to be good. And you know exactly what you're going to get. And you know you're going to love it. You're going to get that cheap feeling of casting judgment on the OP and you feeling better than them or standing right with them. And the OP is going to get a satisfying feeling of having a place to vent. And let's be real, the OP is not venting to just their fellow friends and family who know the situation well. They're venting to fellow Bitcoiners, not even Bitcoiners, fellow stackers, cowboys, who might have the same values that they do. I hear it all the time from @DesertDave, @cryotosensei, etc. What they really want are those personal stories of connection. That's the kind of non-Bitcoin content that they're looking for in stacker news. So I think we have a real chance at doing that within Am I the A-Hole Territory?

I'll read more examples from Reddit in upcoming posts, and maybe even write my own original ones about Saylor or the psychologist from The Sopranos, but this is my call to action. Who wants in? @grayruby is willing to help start the territory with 25,000 sats. Coins Reporter is interested, but he doesn't want to just do a trial. He wants to set a long-term vision for a territory. Who's in? Who wants to get in on the ground floor of a new territory? Who likes reading or hearing these posts? I'll do my best to read off the best posts so that you can read or listen. Thank you for the support. Clearly when it comes to founding new territories on stacker news, It's so early!
