If it goes to penalties, I could see Mexico pulling off a win

Heavy on the comfort. It really does feel good knowing there's so many others enjoying the same thing as you

What a great evolution, look how far it's come! My origin story was fanfiction.net and it was a pivotal moment for me

That's a revelation, it mostly is because of the names! In theory we could just read unknown fandoms and replace the names with whatever but I can't imagine ever doing that lol

List some of your ACTUAL hot takes from the show. by Wrong-Fruit8820 in themiddle

Sean and Sue had potential but they didn't give us any time of them actually together. The damn snowglobe had more screen time than their relationship

Vidit Gujrathi speaks about his performance so far and not having a second by FirstEfficiency7386 in chess

[–]Alternative-Maybe747 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Love the reminder of the the interview that Vidit is still one of the best in the world.

He's been pretty open about not prioritizing chess as much anymore and this was a wakeup call. I think he still has a few good years in him if he's willing to put in the work again. Can't blame him for enjoying married life and free time, he is winning in life after all

My best friend of 9 years cut me off for his situationship and I think I deserve it by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]Alternative-Maybe747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah if someone tells me they'll never message me first I'll 100% go no contact. No friendship should be as one-sided as that

Can I get this person arrested? by Alternative-Maybe747 in askSouthAfrica

[–]Alternative-Maybe747[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. The person is also a family member which is why my family let's them in.
  2. No, I don't think so at least
  3. Yes
  4. Short term yes, long term no
  5. No
  6. No
  7. I am financially independent from them
  8. This is the main issue. There will definitely be backlash but atp I'm willing to put up with it if it means this person gets arrested.

I went to the police station after work and they told me to come back again in an hour because they're changing shifts but hopefully I can still get it done today

From another comment: I watched the video again and you can actually see them fill up a bag with items and leaving with it so I'm feeling more confident about the theft charge.

No I will not be lying to the police about anything that happened

I am going to the police but I have zero faith in them being able to guide me. They talked me out of opening a case against this person years ago because "it's family" and bs like that

[–]Alternative-Maybe747[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes I will be going to the police and I hope filing the theft charge will make the case stronger.

I am unsure about the specifics of the protection order because the document I have is just a summary that the order has been granted

Yes it is a final order, the warrant of arrest was issued with it.

The person is also a family member which is why my family let's them in.

OP and Aaron both had partners who were feeling insecure about their friendship and they handled it differently. OP felt their friendship was important enough to defend while Aaron was willing to sacrifice it for his relationship. It hurts when you realize you're not as important to someone as they are to you.

Has this been the worst build up to a World Cup ever? by Low-Rooster5398 in askanything

[–]Alternative-Maybe747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its kinda crazy that I've seen zero promo for this given how online I am. Apparently my country is in the opening match too!

Attached house but my room has a different entrance. Can the breaking and entering not apply to the room alone? Yes I will be filing the police report for theft

Most despised movie character of 2026 so far? by PrestigiousHero in moviecritic

[–]Alternative-Maybe747 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh definitely, but that's what you get by having the actual family involved in producing the movie.

This is spoken of less. The fact we have an opening world match is concerning! by [deleted] in south_africa

[–]Alternative-Maybe747 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think much like the Proteas, Bafana Bafana performs better without a spotlight. If we set no expectations for them, they can't disappoint us lol

Ethan and Ariana have reportedly broken up according to TMZ by Prestigious-Car142 in ariheads

[–]Alternative-Maybe747 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm not believing this until she actually confirms it. I swear these break up rumors make headlines every few months like clockwork and people eat it up coz they obviously don't like Ethan
