AITA for not wanting to invite my arch-nemesis to my intimate birthday party?

2024.11.27 08:39 tomatowithapplesauce AITA for not wanting to invite my arch-nemesis to my intimate birthday party?

Alright, grab some popcorn because this is about to get spicy.
So, I (22F) am in my senior year of college, and this might be the last time I get to hang out with my friend group of seven—me included. We’ve got 5 guys (A, B, C, D, and E) and 2 girls, Karen and me. And now, onto the drama: Karen.
To keep it short, Karen is my arch-nemesis. We started off thinking she was just a bit socially awkward, and somehow I ended up befriending her (gut feeling told me she was either going to be my best friend or my worst enemy… guess which one it was?). But as time went on, she slowly slithered her way into our friend group—and it all went downhill from there.
Karen is basically the queen of entitlement with a side of "I'm sweet, until I'm not." One of the most memorable moments that really showed her true colors? The fork incident. We were all hanging out, having a chill time, when one of the guys (let’s call him Thirsty A) grabbed Karen’s water bottle. I mean, classic friend group move, right? Someone's thirsty, they grab the closest drink. Nope. Not Karen. She FLIPPED. Full-on toddler tantrum, screeching, red-faced, and—get this—threw a metal fork at Thirsty A. And I’m not talking about a little toss. No. The fork missed him by a few millimeters. Like, if he had moved a second later, he could’ve easily lost an eye. Yeah, good times. Her excuse? “I have anger issues.” (Sure, Karen, sure. We all believe you, definitely.)
That was just the beginning of what turned into an ongoing saga of Karen being, well, Karen.
And let’s talk about the jealousy. Oh, it’s real. Here’s why:

But wait, there’s more! The cherry on top: Karen once told her ex (while they were still dating) that he should sleep with me because I’m “that type.” To clarify, I had one boyfriend in college, and I was loyal. But sure, Karen, you go ahead with that narrative.
Fast forward to last September. During a college event, Karen had a meltdown because she lost her purse (shocker, right?), and decided to slap Clueless B because it was apparently his fault. Oh, and she made Random C pay ten times the cost for her missing eyeliner. Yeah, this is the kind of person we’re dealing with. That was when I started slowly distancing myself from her.
Then came February, and enter Karen’s brother, Jake(24). Mike is apparently the mastermind behind all her complaints. He went to our professors and spread lies about me, claiming that I’m the reason for Karen’s “anger issues” and that I’m secretly jealous of her. But it doesn’t end there—he also told them that I used to date a guy (this is super looked down upon in my college) in our college and play around with other guys' hearts and lives. He made it sound like I was some kind of heartbreaker, which is laughable because I’ve had one boyfriend in college and was loyal throughout. But sure, Jake, paint me as the villain. He also threw in some juicy details about my love life (because that’s always fun to gossip about, right?. He claimed I “play around with other guys’ hearts” (lol, no).
Oh, and here’s the kicker: Jake also told the professors that I was “toxic” to his sister. Let’s all remember—when Karen first showed up in our group, no one bothered to talk to her. I was the one who actually reached out, introduced myself, and tried to be her friend. But sure, Jake, you can call me toxic. That totally checks out. (He used to be a student here, shrewd af, total jerk, but brainwashed a few of the professors into liking him. Yeah, he's that guy.)
And of course, some professors (who were mostly in positions of authority) ate it up. Others were on my side, but those in power? Made my life a living hell (I guess you know why… cue positions of authority).
Even though some professors bought into Jake’s lies, my friend group stuck by me. But the group started ignoring Karen more and more because, well, who wouldn’t? Because, surprise! No one wants to hang out with someone who makes everyone’s life a living nightmare.
Here’s where it gets juicy: We have this birthday tradition where everyone (except the birthday person) buys a cake, gives gifts, and the birthday person takes everyone out to eat. Karen, of course, decided to bring a cake for my birthday this month and demanded that I cut it. It was in a public space, so I couldn’t really say no, but THEN, she asked the guys for money to cover the cake. Mind you, it was her idea to bring it. They reluctantly chipped in 50 cents each (yes, you read that right—50 cents, and Karen actually cried over it. For 50 cents.)
Now, here we are. I’m planning a lunch with the guys next Monday, and apparently, they’re planning a surprise party for me (I didn’t even ask for this, but okay).
And before anyone lashes out saying I just want to be alone with five guys. SHEESH. Three of them are gay and the other two have girlfriends. What the heckaroooniiiiiiiiiii!!
So, here’s the million-dollar question: Should I invite Karen to eat with us?

2024.11.27 08:39 lt_taliwakker Fractal Ridge + 9800X3D

Just curious if any Ridge fans have tried slapping one of the 9800X3Ds in this case? Planning my build now and of course considering it but I’m imagining that with the CPU cooler constraints in the Ridge, you’d have to run it in Eco to get any kind of manageable thermals, at which point I’m unsure if there’s any realistic reason not to go with the 7800X3D

2024.11.27 08:39 Bruvsmasher4000 Consensus on the band Creed? (Music and social conformity discussion)

This might seem like an unusual place to ask, but since Destiny is into music and psychology, I thought this could be a good community for insight:
To those 30+ who were teens or in their 20s during Creed’s peak (the My Own Prison, Human Clay, and Weathered era), why was the band so widely hated? As a kid (I was 9 or 10 when Weathered came out), I loved their music and couldn’t understand why people thought they were lame or terrible.
Now, with Creed experiencing a renaissance and being seen as cool again, I’m curious—why were they so hated at their peak? I’d love to hear perspectives from those who lived through the “Creed-bashing” years.

2024.11.27 08:39 fragilebiscuit BB gun at Knight Stream School

A child took a BB gun to school and was shooting other kids, and allowing other children to shoot it as well. This happened on 14 Nov and we were only notified yesterday on Hero that it had happened, ahead of the media releasing the story. I am absolutely outraged that no one informed us that this happened during play time when 5 year olds are sharing a playground with these kids or how it went on for 3 days and neither the school nor the child’s parent noticed they had a gun.
Why was the school not put into lockdown to ensure there were no more weapons? Why were we as parents kept in the dark?
Kids will be kids but this isn’t okay on any front.

Hello! I have been an insomniac for years. Sleep hygiene hasn’t fixed it, CBT hasn’t fixed it. I’ve tried amytryptaline, hydroxezine, melatonin, tea, white noise, sleep aids. I’m now on zopiclone. If I don’t nap during the day I don’t sleep at night which I is weird. I’ll have spurts where my joint pain is bad and no meds help if. This is the second breakthrough night in a row. I am exhausted.
