TIFU by bringing up Ukraine-Russian war and loosing my best friend

Sorry if I don't write well, English is not my main language. Also I am part Ukranian and have relatives in Ukraine which makes the situation more heated. I also live in the Baltics which I adress to make story more clear.

So me and my at the time best friend met up to watch football. Everything was going great, we were talking about everything family, girlfriends, work, studies and making jokes.

Everything was going well until we started talking about the war. Long story short my friend supports Putin since Zelensky has angered Putin and that Ukrainians should surrender so more people don't die. He also has seen Ruski propoganda in which Ukranians have nazis flags. But there is a thing that I just absolutely cannot forgive and I got very, very angry about is that he said that Russians should take over the Baltics since the government is "complete garbage" and would also give a second breath to business owners so he could start one.

He has family here, father police officer who would have to possibly even go to front line and he says Russia should take over. After the stuff he said I am just going to honestly say what it is "complete idiotism and shit". After that we were arguing even more, me trying to explain that his family would be in danger, he could himself possibly die, me aswell and a lot more innocent people would die. He I guess didn't care and he didn't agree with what I said. I just said "Иди нахуи́" turned my back and left.

TLDR: Got into a heated argument with my 'best friend" which I theoretically started since I bringed it up and lost a friend.

Edit: Thank you everyone for your kind words and advice. I didn't expect this post to get so much traction.

I have decided that I will will not write my friend or ammend this situation, but if he comes through first messaging me, apologising, then I will decide whether to keep being friends or at least end the friendship on good terms. Again, thank you everyone for kind words and courage regarding my relatives. Слава Україні!

TIFU - Don’t do what I did

On Sunday morning Aug. 24th, I awoke to discover a large blind spot in my right eye, which turned out to be what is called wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It has resulted in a very significant, permanent loss of vision in that eye. Although I maintain good peripheral vision, whatever I focus on at best is very blurry, and mostly disappears. I can barely make out the large E at the top of the eye chart. If this happens to my left eye I’ll be unable to read or drive. It turns out that I missed the opportunity that I had to prevent this from becoming a serious problem because I failed to report what appeared to be minor changes in my vision. In the weeks prior to August I had noticed that what I knew to be straight lines appeared to my right eye to have a little waviness. I also noticed that the color of my front lawn, which I could see through the window from my recliner,  was subdued, looked almost gray, in my right eye. So I scheduled an eye exam, which revealed the p...

TIFU by getting suspended for 2 days by my front office in school.

I (13M) am an African American student at Jeannette junior high who had got suspended for 2 days here. I was in math class minding my business until my teacher had told me to go to the main office, which posed no problem to me. As i went down there, the people of the front office had stopped me and made me get a new ID (yes, we have id's.) so i had asked them if i could maybe do a different alternative and call my mother to let her bring the Id here, even then, the Id isn't that important. So, although i was talking to them in a calm manner and not showing any signs of rebellion, they had threatened to call the police on me without thinking twice before calling my parents. This is where i started getting angry, and even then now the black peers agree that could have been a racially motivated action. They then told me to sit in the office conference room because of that, leading into more anger. They had then called my mother who had came over to the school didn't even let ...

TIFU by putting my already skinny jeans in the dryer on high heat.

TL;DR: Was stupid and didn't realize I put my clothes on extra high heat in the dryer. Had to rock skintight skinny jeans all day with tighty whities (only clean pair I had since I procrastinate doing laundry like crazy). I guess the constant wedgies and squishing are punishment for my stupidity. Honestly don’t know who else to blame but myself for this. I’m a scatterbrained guy so I literally put the highest setting on a load with most of my clothes, and my skinny jeans that I was planning to wear today. You can probably already see where this is going, but somehow I didn’t. For context, these jeans were already pushing the limits of what could reasonably be called wearable. They fit, technically, but only in the sense that I could get them on with enough determination and a bit of strategic breathing. Sitting down in them was more of a commitment than a casual action. Still, they looked good, and I had convinced myself that discomfort was just part of the aesthetic. So this m...
