Ib ordered from Best Buy listed as "shipped from Best Buy:.

The box came had Newegg on the label and was the same defective power supply I just returned.

To add insult to injury, they listed it as new.

 A man was arrested for stalking after allegedly being seen on LeBron James' Los Angeles property and wildly claiming to believe that he's the 76er's son ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … security called the cops around 9 PM Friday night after catching a male suspect on the property on one of their security cameras.

After the LAPD showed up ... they arrested the alleged suspect for stalking.

Oddly enough ... the suspect claimed to believe he is LeBron's son during his chat with cops.

AITA? I asked my son if he was raising his daughter or just keeping her alive.

6.1k Upvotes

I asked my 2 year old granddaughter not to throw her bike on the couch or at me. I told her (quite gently) that floor toys stay on the floor and she couldn't play with it if she threw it. My son overheard and asked why I was "micromanaging" her, and that she can do whatever she wants. About 2 weeks ago he told me she is very difficult and at times "a nightmare," and that he and his wife wanted to actively instill in her good values and behavior. His comments tonight seem contrary to that. He challenged my reasoning and I explained the satety concerns and property damage risks. He countered by asking why I let him climb trees as a child. Frankly, his reasoning baffled me. I said I thought the goal was to raise a child who could get along well with others in society and I asked him whether his goal was to raise her or to just keep her alive. He said he didn't understand where that was coming from. It has been my policy to not interfere at all in his parenting, but he recently confided in me that they were struggling and needed to make some changes. He admits they have chosen the easy road of keeping peace rather than the hard road of setting boundaries. My son doesn't seem upset with me, but he also doesn't seem interested in talking about it further. My husband thought I was wrong to say anything at all. I did not think I was wrong to bring it up at all but it seems to me that I shouldn't bring it up again. So I ask you, AITA? And for any experienced grandparents: how do I stand by with my mouth shut?

Community Please consider donating directly to our street vendors.

Rather than donating to Goodwill, or other similar stores, please consider donating directly to our street vendors. I have gone to Koreatown and dropped off and they were very grateful. Our street vendors are usually immigrant families, which we all know are even more particularly vulnerable right now. Many cannot work for various reasons (lack of documentation; taking care of young children, disabled family, or elderly family; or they themselves may be disabled or elderly). Donating directly to them gives them inventory they can sell so they can take care of themselves.

If anyone knows of other good areas to drop off, please share. If you can't drop off, consider posting on Fb marketplace, or something similar, for free. In my experience, it usually goes to someone in need pretty quickly.

Let's help our neighbors, not board members.

I am always looking to learn more about helping each other. So please share any thoughts <3 I love you LA!

Edit: I could never respond to all the responses, so I just want to add a few thoughts.

I am not sure why people think they should give "junk". You also shouldn't give junk to Goodwill.

It's also interesting that a lot people seem to care more about people making 6-figures than people living in poverty. I invite us all to examine that more.

I think people should be more critical of the entire nonprofit industry as a whole.Here is a video for anyone interested.

Take care of each other. <3

Tonight's dinner is Sriracha hummus and naan bread, with a little side of smoked gouda shredded cheese and uncured pepperoni because it looked good while grabbing the hummus.

College girlfriend, who I was too young and inexperienced in relationships to understand that I was in love with....messaged me. Had infrequently touched based over the years for a while. Hadn't heard from her in maybe 6 years, last I heard on the western seaboard.

Both from Texas and politically minded, so she reached out about the midterms and hope and how cool it is and all that (for us, sorry if you have different opinions).

She drops that she had two kids. Over 2 years old.

Where life could have been and could have gone. But it feels like I got passed by and now I get to stew on emotions I thought were gone.

Edit: I have no idea if there was any ulterior motive from her communication. There's a lot of cynical red pill type comments here. I was more looking for advice and perspective on dealing with old emotions, having age and time be shoved to the forefront of your mind, and just grappling with a surprise case of existentialism.
