TIFU Card Collection Ending Update

https://rareddit.com/r/tifu/comments/wrmbvx/tifu_update_reporting_ex_friend_who_burnt_8000/

For those wanting past posts just look up Ex friend who burnt 8000$ worth of Pokémon cards rareddit.

For those patiently waiting for an update here I am.

Starting off, maybe two weeks after my last post I was assaulted. I was in the hospital for a few days but all in all it was minor fracture on my rib and a broken finger. This was done by Cole and a friend of his.

Cole was arrested and I was just terrified of all of the attention I was getting from the people in my life. News articles and YouTube videos. It didn’t take long for it to swirl around my school. I deleted most the posts but you can find them still.

I never wanted this to blow up as much as I did because the attention that it got wasn’t really worth it. For everyone who messaged me asking for an update I gave it to them. Telling them Cole was arrested and that he’s being charged with assault.

I thank everyone who messaged me and helped me and wanted updates etc.

For the justice everyone’s been waiting for, the courtroom wasn’t all that, it wasn’t like the movies where there was an Aha gotcha moment. Cole painted me as an obsessed monster, that he did me a favor as his true friend. Because Cole was a first time offender for the assault he got a year probation and a fine. In the small claims court he was ordered to pay 6k back because it was all I could technically prove he destroyed. The police actually pulled the video from his laptop and in the video you could see heaps of cards being burnt. But because they couldn’t be properly identified there wasn’t much that could be done.

I’m not angry anymore, At first I was destroyed but after everything that’s happened and all the media I knew there was people out there who cared.

I know you’re reading this, the internet knows you as Cole, I’ve done my best not to doxx you and I’ve done a pretty good job. You took something you knew I loved and destroyed it, when in reality the only thing you destroyed was our friendship. I forgive you for what you did, I won’t ever forget what you did. But go ahead, create a video on your YouTube explaining your side of events. I bet it would go viral, is that what you want? To go viral? Make a video, send me the link and I’ll post it here for everyone to see. Let the people make their own decision on who the real monster is. I mean there is two sides to every story right? Anyway, good luck and I hope both sides of your pillows are always warm.

I started recollecting Pokémon cards. I mean it’s in no way as impressive as it was but I’m rebuilding it. I’m also making a lot of new friends, applying to colleges, moving on. I know this isn’t the pro justice pro revenge ending everyone wanted. But it’s the ending I was given.

Thank you all for staying with me, for the 10 million people who read my original post, thanks for listening.

TLDR: Cole gets a year probation and a fine while I move on with my life.

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...
