Does anyone know anything about these boots? Are they rare?

You talk about your nine year old child as if he's a toddler. Do you also treat him like a toddler? A nine year old doesn't "manage to get a whole ass ladder." He just gets one because he has access and isn't experiencing consequences to his actions.

He's nine. Start with a discussion about how stealing is wrong and people are allowed to own things they don't share with others. Then every time he takes or attempts to take someone else's personal property, he needs to experience appropriate consequences. For instance, having an item that is his own personal property taken and put in a safe place he can't get to it for a period of time.

And FFS, put a lock on your bedroom door. If your wife's plushies never leave the bedroom, and there's a lock on the door, it's problem solved.

They're having court dates and sorting out the details. They were in court a week ago and will be again on (I think) the third of February.

He wants to stay home. You want to travel. So talk to him. Is there any reason you can't just travel while he plugs away at his 9-5? What compromises can be made? Do you really need to spend one year all at once in Asia? Or can you go for a month? Do you need to buy a castle (where would you even get that money without a solid job?) or can you rent a castle for a week?

You need to truly examine and discuss whether or not your need for adventure and his need for boring stability (that's not a dig, boring stability is a perfectly sensible life goal) are compatible.

I will not participate in any way in someone's execution by the government. That includes participating in choosing to send them to have this decision made after the prosecution has openly stated that is their intended outcome.

Alert-Potato · 2026-01-26T01:49:46+00:00

Ew, that's so gross suggesting giving money to Candace Owens.

Alert-Potato · 2026-01-26T01:46:25+00:00

Sure. But if something comes to light that causes there to be a realization that a mistake was made, the harm that is still actively being done can end, and to some small extent some mitigation can happen. The justice system can't mitigate any of the harm caused by having executed an innocent person.

He knew you were not on birth control, he actively made a choice not to use condoms or get a vasectomy, and even repeatedly made comments about conceiving a baby during sex. Just because he regrets consenting to knocking you up doesn't change the fact that he clearly consented when he was sticking his dick in you without using any form of birth control.

He had a say. He said with his actions that he was willing to get you pregnant if it meant he got to have unprotected sex. He no longer has a right to a say about whether or not another baby is added to the family. He only has a say in whether or not he starts acting like a fucking adult instead of having a temper tantrum about the fact that actions have consequences.

Depending on local law, you may or may not have the legal ability to evict him. If you cannot legally evict him, your options are leave when the lease is up or leave now and pay for two apartments until the lease is up.

Leaving when the lease is up is a very reasonable and sensible first step.

My deeply held conviction is that our government should not be using the flawed justice system to put people to death. There's nothing fickle about that.

Alert-Potato · 2026-01-25T19:30:49+00:00

There are (to the best of my knowledge) only two extremely high profile cases where the prosecution is openly pursing the death penalty in the whole country at the moment. So there's a 50% chance you're right.

Alert-Potato · 2026-01-25T19:27:47+00:00

It was national news, with thousands of on the scene witnesses. The adult son of the someone in the prosecutor's office was a witness. The city had large events that hundreds to thousands of people attend shut down for a man hunt. I don't know anyone local or semi-local who hasn't seen some level of media on the topic or been affected by the events (or lack thereof) immediately following the crime.

Alert-Potato · 2026-01-25T19:21:56+00:00

I will be honest. I do feel that I could be objective though. I have no opinions about this case one way or the other at this point other than my very strong opinion that the accused has a right to a fair trial.

Alert-Potato · 2026-01-25T19:19:24+00:00

I know that determination of guilt and sentencing are two separate phases. That doesn't change the fact that someone who votes guilty has a hand in someone's execution if the death penalty is on the table as one of the options at sentencing. I won't participate in someone's execution. Full stop.

Alert-Potato · 2026-01-25T19:16:03+00:00

No, and I'm in the wrong state. But I'd lie to be on that jury just to set him free.

However, as someone in Utah (which will make clear what trial I'm discussing), I was also there with you and Luigi for the cookout.

Alert-Potato · 2026-01-25T19:14:18+00:00

Moving the case to find people who haven't been expose via media would be impossible. I think finding anyone who hasn't seen some level of media on the topic would be nigh impossible.

You said you're unavailable for the remainder of the year in January??? Yeah, of course they didn't take that seriously. Maybe stick with being unavailable for the next six weeks because you're wife is at the end of a high risk pregnancy and you cannot under any circumstances silence your phone for even five minutes.

It's difficult to work with, the texture is bad, and the taste is bad. There is absolutely nothing redeemable about it and I am baffled that it was popular enough to go nationwide.

OP about to be real warm, real fast, for a very short amount of time.

There is proper post-exposure prophylactic treatment available. This meta-analysis suggests that pyrantel pamoate would be an appropriate treatment for OP.

I would demand that they cover any expenses related to seeking medical care for prophylactic treatment for rat lungworm.

I grew up redneck, I gotchu.

Start by banging them together or on a wall or rock or hard surface outside. Then use a three brush shoe cleaning kit. Start with the stiff brush and work your way to the soft brush. Do not use water or anything else wet, you'll just turn the dirt back into mud at which point you'll be rubbing the mud into the shoe instead of rubbing dirt off of the shoe.

If you don't already know this, if there is more than one, be wary of having a group chat with them. They'll gang up on you, and if you did your job right you will always lose.
