Streamed pirated games and ignored the lawsuit. Made stupid threats “I own the streets”.
Not feeling sorry for this guy.
Microsoft sent a cease and desist, right? Right?
The IOC was quick to assure potential hosts that this turn of events has not affected their position on bribery and corruption. The IOC is still open for business!
Conservatives have a thing for “early access,” though.
They only have problems in Washington DC and, probably, other left-leaning cities. This isn’t a problem for conservatives everywhere.
Hell, I bet someone starts a service to match the DC conservatives with people from Texas or Florida. Mail order dates within the USA.
I would have, too, but would have said something more absurd. Like, go off about how the NYC economy is going to be ruined by aliens and at the end talk about putting them back in their spaceships and shooting them into the sun. Start plausible then go bat shit crazy. See how much they print.
What were the toppings? Mushroom and LSD?
Would be funny if they were Canadian.
You don’t mention the most important part of the above comment: asking her how she feels to have something stolen and asking how she thinks someone who’s had something stolen feels.
That’s different than telling her how someone would feel. The point is to develop empathy. At her age she should be capable of theory of mind. You want to focus on developing the skill of modeling others’ feelings in response to her own actions.
Get her to think about how someone else feels rather than tell her. This shouldn’t be just an exercise for hurtful actions, either. It’s equally important for good feelings. “You gave me a hug! That made me feel so good inside!” “Look at that puppy. I wonder if he’s happy?”
“I wonder” is a powerful way to unlock someone’s brain to expand their consciousness about the world around them. It gently invites them to follow the path you’re trying to lead them on and it shows you how they are seeing the world. People naturally like to have the answer especially when someone else displays some ignorance.
(“I wonder” works on everyone, not just kids. It’s especially helpful with people with dementia.)
I don’t think it’s unreasonable to want to avoid your MIL. I also think it’s reasonable for your wife to maintain the relationship.
Can you use her visit as excuse to take a vacation—alone or with friends—or visit your family? Given the circumstances, I think avoidance is a perfectly valid option. Get some you time if your wife is cool with it.

No one would marry Miller who wasn’t at least 80% the asshole he is. And, he’s 10000x more asshole than an average asshole.
I can’t do the math but it should be obvious she’s just a massive asshole.
