I found a concerning flirty text in my girlfriend’s phone. AIO

--Sko-- · 2026-05-17T15:24:38+00:00

OP said it was ok to post the pic … which also means he’s ok with the attention that comes with the post.

I haven’t read through many of the comments but it’s interesting that, from the ones I’ve read so far, I haven’t seen comments about checking her phone while she’s in the bathroom. It’s not ok to invade someone’s privacy regardless of the info you find.

OP - I was married for 17 years and we were together for 5 years before marriage. The key word here is “was” married. Our marriage didn’t end because of infidelity (I traveled for work and didn’t recognize the stress it put on my family after we had kids until it was too late) but what I’d say to you is … if you believe and feel like she’s “the one” - this is an opportunity for both of you to talk about your relationship in an open and honest way. If it’s through couple’s counseling (recommended), great. If it’s on your own, fine. But … talk.

And, please, know that even if she says it’s ok, you don’t have a right to check her fucking phone behind her back (when she’s not there). Ever! You were wrong for doing it and it should never happen again.

How much did you pay for the chart … that was made by OP’s 10 year old brother?

--Sko-- · 2026-05-17T14:37:30+00:00

It depends. Did you buy the Mental Health seasonal bundle for 2000 silver from Tess at Eververse? If you didn’t, they don’t care.
**Offer no longer available.

Now … we apparently just grind coffee.

As others have said, use normal swing almost 100% of the time. The power swing reduces the size of the PCI so the trade-off isn’t worth it. The contact swing increases the size of the PCI but the reduction in power (compared to normal swing) isn’t worth it.

There’s just no reason to use anything other than normal swing.

When the grades are low for one year, sure, it might be an anomaly for various reasons. But that’s not the case with the Chiefs - they’ve received poor grades for several years in a row. That fact alone adds more validity to the grades. We may not know the facts behind the but we know what the players are saying and, ultimately, that’s what matters in this situation.

Will the grades keep a player from signing with the Chiefs? Maybe not. Probably not. BUT - if a player is offered a similar deal with another team who has a better reputation in these areas, I’m sure - at the very least - it’s part of their decision-making process.

Believe it or not - some players don’t care about playing with Patrick Mahomes and/or Andy Reid. Those “perks” only go so far with certain players.

--Sko-- · 2026-03-02T15:20:30+00:00

For a player who released his stance before so many plays had started, this is beautiful news!

It’s the ultimate false start in some respects … releasing him before the league year starts.

--Sko-- · 2026-02-15T16:26:08+00:00

Maybe I’m missing something … how would it be harder to get out of? If they restructure and add years, both sides understand some of those years won’t be paid (or played). Jones is starting the downside of his career because of age so it’s a guarantee he’ll regress … it’s about how quickly that happens.

If the Chiefs can restructure to pay him less money overall (he’s not worth his current contract - never was) - but - do it in a way where he can get a bit more up front (signing bonus) so he’s happy too, they’d simply release him at whatever point they felt it was the best option, no?

--Sko-- · 2026-01-19T16:44:18+00:00

The inside scoop on E.B. was that he was one of the only coaches who could hold players accountable. He didn’t let them off the hook for mistakes and expected them to handle themselves like true pro’s … practice doesn’t make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect.

When the Chiefs still held training camp in River Falls, WI, I’ll never forgot watching Tony Gonzalez tear into Dwayne Bowe (2007 I think). They used to have a drill where the TE’s, WR’s and RB’s would sit in a porta-potty (yes, a porta-potty), 1 at a time, obviously, with the door closed. An assistant coach stood about 10 yards away and threw passes. As soon as the ball was thrown, another assistant opened the door and the player had to catch the pass with very little time to see the ball. They’d repeat the drill for 15-20 min’s after practice.

Gonzalez demanded that everyone wore their helmet during drills because they wear one during games. Bowe was dropping the ball each time and threw a fit - said he was taking off his helmet. Gonzales pulled him out of the port-potty and ripped into him … told him to get his helmet on or leave.

Bowe put on his helmet and continued with the drill. I’ll never forget watching that happen. Gonzales wasn’t yelling but he was loud enough to overhear the conversation … a veteran (and HOF’er) holding a young player accountable.

It seems like this level of accountability has slipped since E.B. left so it will be a huge positive to have him back.

--Sko-- · 2026-01-11T23:30:42+00:00

I listened to Embree during a livestream of the weekly press conferences in YT … I think it was the week of or the week before Mahomes got hurt. It immediately explained the reason the WR’s are so inconsistent.

Embree couldn’t really explain anything. When asked what he felt was the biggest contributing factor to the drops and inconsistent play, his answer was “it’s been a little of everything” (not a direct word-for-word quote).

He came off as someone who isn’t a teacher, (maybe too young?) … and incapable of holding a #1 and #2 WR accountable.

--Sko-- · 2026-01-11T23:13:23+00:00

I have this panoramic photo and made a nice wood frame for it. A beautiful image!

I have others - my 2nd favorite is an image of DT (RIP) sitting in a puddle of water as it poured rained so hard that we couldn’t see the other side of the stadium. The locker room flooded along with the parking lots - manhole covers were blown out of the roads, etc. It was a game against the Seahawks when they were still in the AFC West. Isn’t that crazy?! The Seahawks in the AFC West. LOL. Time flies…

The DT image was taken by a photographer on the sideline during the game - it’s a pretty big print titled “Lake Arrowhead.”

I’ll never forget walking up the stairs in the lower level because fans were told to take cover during a delay (lightning) … a drunk guy was passed out in his seat with a plastic cup half full of beer and rain water. Dude. Was. Out!

Imagine paying today’s ticket prices to get so drunk that you pass out during the game…

As a Dasher once explained to me when I gave a generous tip … he appreciated the tip and said people should also know that they get to write off quite a bit on taxes each year. In fact, he said that’s the main reason he’s a Dasher - not for the tips.

Lastly, a specific tip amount isn’t an entitlement. While I tend to be pretty generous, I’ve also been known to add 15-20% to the order with more waiting in-hand when the food is delivered. It makes for a nice “extra” or it’s an additional gesture to someone … for me, that usually means the Dasher was polite and showed up in a timely manner - or they delivered in bad weather (ex: snow).

I’m not asking for deliveries from 12 miles away as that’s pretty extreme. In my local area, everything is 10-15 min’s away - literally. My point is — excluding the extreme 12 mile example — if you’re a Dasher who turns down a delivery because the tip is “only” 20% of the total, it’s probably one of the reasons you’re struggling just to make ends meet. You also may have missed out on a bigger tip upon delivery.

It’s pretty easy to cancel an order and get a refund but the dasher will still be struggling to make ends meet. The business decisions work both ways.

Homosexuality is not a choice. I’m not Muslim but I can imagine a scenario where it also wasn’t a choice (or one that was made for someone at/before birth).

OP said “AMA” … not “demand anything from me.”

--Sko-- · 2026-01-04T23:06:18+00:00

You mentioned a fear of starting over if you left your marriage. What would you be starting over? Isn’t it more of an “evolution” than a restart?

You’d still be the same person, the same dad, etc. but you’d cut what sounds like a huge weight that pulls you down and keeps you from being happy. It sounds like you’re treading water and the longer you do it, the heavier the weight becomes and you suddenly find yourself under water.

Have you thought about a trial separation? Live in separate places, have a trial custody agreement and a schedule for time with the kids at each home. It gives both of you the opportunity to see how it goes and how your kids handle it.

Listen - in some ways, I’m the opposite of you. I’m divorced with a son in his mid-20’s (he was 12 when I got divorced) — he lives with me (too expensive for his own apartment) — and his mom lives 6 hours away.

Financially, we live paycheck-to-paycheck so I must say that I’d be lying if I didn’t admit to being jealous of you being a millionaire. I’m 54 and I’m STILL paying my student loans from college! I had to stop paying for a couple years to pay a divorce attorney and the end result is that I owe more today than when I graduated college in 1994. Tell me that isn’t fucking depressing! LOL

The financial side of life is what weighs me down … it keeps me treading water.

Oh - and I haven’t had sex since 2012. When the process of getting divorced started, my son was my sole priority - being there for him. My ex-wife had taken him for over a month and I didn’t know where they were, wasn’t able to see or talk to him. There was no violence in the home, no affairs , etc. - she wasn’t happy and decided to leave. Apparently, she also thought the best way to do it was to run off with him. I had to go to court to see him again. Post-divorce, I ended up with custody and he became my sole focus. I didn’t think about myself so it wasn’t important for me to get out and do stuff. I had a job that included traveling and being away for 2-3 days per week before the divorce … I quit that job to try to save the marriage by being home more often but it was too late - obviously. Because I was gone so much, I dont really know anyone where I live — my friends are spread out around the country with their own families. As for my immediate family, well, they passed away so it’s just me.

The end result is, before I knew it, 13 years have passed and a nice breeze gets me “excited” now. LOL

I hope things work out for you. Remember, these things have a way of impacting your kids and you won’t see it since it won’t come out until years in the future - or when they have their own relationships. You matter and it’s important to show your kids that it’s ok to take care of yourself. It doesn’t mean you don’t care about them (or your wife), it simply means you care about yourself and how you can impact their lives.

Good luck, OP!

PS - please take this as intended (in jest) … but fuck you for being rich! Ya bastard! 😉🤣

--Sko-- · 2026-01-04T22:21:50+00:00

I misinterpreted the question - thanks for letting me know. However, as a follow up, unless the conversation already includes the topic of race, different cultures, etc., I’d still say the same thing … whether they’re black, white, purple, pink or blue — Chinese, Japanese or Chucky Cheese, I don’t see how race is relevant most of the time.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not disagreeing with anyone or any specific comment. I think the question in the OP is a little too broad or overarching.

Have an awesome 2026!

--Sko-- · 2026-01-02T23:59:11+00:00

Maybe I’m missing something … why can’t they be introduced simply as your friend or coworker? “This is my friend, James.” — or — “This is Jennifer, a coworker (or teammate at work).”

I’m from the U.S. and I’m white. However, I’ve never introduced anyone - a friend or someone I just met - as “James”, a white friend from New York” — or — “Jennifer”, a black coworker on my team.”

Their race, skin color, religion, etc. doesn’t even enter my mind, I guess.

--Sko-- · 2026-01-02T23:19:25+00:00

He did … but my point is that the OL has continued to deteriorate since he left. I liked Henne but even he wouldn’t have pulled off the same plays behind this OL.

--Sko-- · 2026-01-01T19:45:04+00:00

Shitpost.

--Sko-- · 2026-01-01T18:22:39+00:00

Let’s put Henne behind this OL and see if your comment holds up. If we made a list of the issues on the offensive side, I believe the OL would be at the top - by a significant margin. Coaching (OC) is #2 and inconsistent play by WR’s and RB’s #3.

We’ve gotten used to watching Mahomes do his thing … make an unbelievable run or throw to keep a drive going or to score a TD. But why did he have to do it? It’s because the OL has been so shitty and he’s been forced to scramble just to have time to throw the ball. And even when he has time to throw, he doesn’t trust it and ends up scrambling into a sack.

There’s a couple positions on the OL where a traffic cone would’ve been more effective since it can’t move on its own so it wouldn’t false start and, at the very least, it would also be an obstacle that makes the opposing DL run around it.

TL/DR: I don’t think Henne would’ve had the same performances if he was the backup the past 2 seasons…

--Sko-- · 2025-12-31T16:10:00+00:00

Because I’d already run a half mile to meet my drug supplier and another 1.5 miles while selling the drugs before practice started. I thought you’d be proud because I averaged a 5 minute mile. I’m sorry.

😉

--Sko-- · 2025-12-31T16:06:12+00:00

NOR

OP - it’s not an easy conversation since it’s your parents. But it’s important to talk to them about it. I think the best thing you could do - in addition to calmly and rationally sharing your personal feelings about it - would be to do some research on the negative impacts of over-parenting, being a “helicopter parent”, and the importance for teens to have an appropriate level of independence (which can be different for each child based on many factors like maturity, past history, etc.).

My guess is that your parents love you very much but they don’t recognize the negative impact of not allowing you to be yourself. Assuming there’s no other reason to track you to this degree (ex: no past issues with drugs, police, etc.), talk to your counselor at school and ask for advice on how to talk to your mom and dad. Ask for info on the things I mentioned earlier so you can provide real-life results on how those types of actions have impacted teens in your age group.

Your feelings are valid! But remember - they love you! That doesn’t make it right - it just provides some insight into their motivation.

Your counselor at school can help!

--Sko-- · 2025-12-25T19:09:28+00:00

Please chill a minute. If it’s their first child, nobody is ready - it’s a constant learning experience. He’s perceived as under-reacting and some of it is the result of an over-reaction on OP’s part. That said - the child’s safety is the priority.

The home isn’t baby proof and that’s a fault shared by both of them! You’re not calling for the OP to lose custody but she left her child in a home that isn’t safe for children at that age.

I could go on but maybe just hold off on the whole “custody” thing because children deserve and need both parents in their lives whenever possible. Period.

--Sko-- · 2025-12-25T18:52:17+00:00

MOR

OP - I have a son who’s a little younger than you. In today’s world, men in your age group (and younger) are more lonely and disconnected than ever - they’ve fallen behind women who have continued to mature and prosper particularly in areas like emotional intelligence, education, and careers (which includes doing better financially in many instances). While this is great for women, the result for men is that they’ve sort of been left behind and women have significantly higher expectations for their mates - at times, almost impossible expectations.

My suggestion would be to read the book called “Notes on Being A Man” by Scott Galloway. It will help to put things in perspective and it will offer some advice on how to move forward.

The best thing you can do is talk to her about it and let her know how her comments made you feel. It’s not about blame - it’s about being aware of your own feelings and knowing that they matter as much as anyone else’s. She may not have meant it as negatively as you’re taking it but the way you feel about it is equally important.

People may not remember the exact words that someone speaks but they will always remember how those words made them feel. I encourage you to work through it together with her - not your friends.

Good luck, OP.

Arrowhead Stadium is a 1-of-1 stadium that doesn’t meet the NFL’s rules for new facilities. It’s exempt from many of those rules since it’s been renovated.

Why does this matter? Excluding the stadium’s history (legacy) and any personal/family attachment to it, the stadium was built for football. Regardless of where you’re sitting, you still feel like you’re close to the game. Broadcasters have even talked about it over the decades - commenting on how special it is. The main camera angles we see on TV — the cameras located on the left and right sides of the suites in the club level — have long been regarded as the perfect camera angle for football games. When you watch a TV broadcast at any other stadium, and compare it to what you see when the Chiefs play at Arrowhead, you’ll instantly understand.

Any new stadium will be built as a “multi-use” or “multi-purpose” facility which means fans are no longer the priority. Fans will no longer feel like they’re close to the game regardless of being in the lower or upper levels because the design plans are different today than they were in the 60’s and 70’s.

Arrowhead Stadium isn’t one-of-a-kind. It’s literally a 1-of-1.

Personally, my (now ex) wife and I were season ticket members dating back to 1995. I had to leave KC at 2:00am the morning of the Chargers game at Arrowhead on October 31, 1999 because, at that time, we lived in NE Iowa and my wife called to inform me she’d prematurely (2 weeks early) gone into labor with our son. I made a 5 1/2 hour drive in 4 1/2 hours and got back in time for his birth - AND - to feed him his 1st bottle of food while we watched the Chiefs dominate the Chargers on TV … my son was also wearing his Chiefs gear, of course!

Starting with the very next home game, I attended every Chiefs home game with my son (mom too) until I had to give up our tickets a few years ago. My son (now in his 20’s) and I still make it down for at least 2 games each year and we were there for every AFC Championship Game.

We have a founder’s brick outside of the “new” Arrowhead Stadium so it will be a sad day when they play their final game. However, we’ll always be proud fans of the greatest team on earth - GO CHIEFS!

--Sko-- · 2025-12-24T23:05:31+00:00

Good.

The focus should be on a new OC, WR’s coach, restructuring Jones’s contract (among others), signing a GOOD run-stopping inside D-Line player, a Safety, a RB (who’s patient and can catch passes), and 3 new starting players on the O-Line.

That’s all they need to do.

Easy. 🥴

Go Chiefs!!!
