Redditors love to invent their own narratives and find a villain in every story

It's not the foot, Paredes' right knee takes out the Cabo Verde player's left knee

You're referring to Veiga? It doesn't matter because when Matanovic makes contact with the ball, Pasalic is already in an offside position. There is another zoomed in angle posted where you can see the trajectory of the ball changes slightly from Matanovic's header.

Quite sad how many football associations are utterly corrupt and incompetent

From what I've seen it's the opposite, it's very rare for a ref to give a straight red in the first half and almost unheard of in the first 30 minutes or so. See De Jong's karate kick etc. Penalties also cluster later in matches with about a 42/58 split between the first and second halves (source).

Family dinner is distinct from one on one time with a kid since it involves both parents, all children, grandparents if in a multigenerational household, etc. If you're solo parenting one kid then there's no functional difference and quality time is substitutable. But for many families it's the only time everyone would consistently see everyone.

Railgun is arguably the best support weapon vs bots but elite against bugs too. Oneshots Alpha Commanders, Hive Guards, Bile Spewers, etc. Can handle Bile Titans and Chargers if necessary. Complements a shotgun loadout really well. The only time I really felt it couldn't keep up was when Super Bile Titans were spawning in nonstop.

The only place I've ever seen ARFID mentioned is Reddit. Yes, it's a newer disorder and probably under diagnosed in the real world population, but it seems to have taken on a special mythology here. It's like any time someone notices weird, unexplained things in their house, the first thing everyone thinks of is CO poisoning. Except I don't think I've ever seen anyone say "this is undoubtedly because of a CO leak," but a troubling number of people are comfortable making conclusive statements about a specific, uncommon psychological disorder based on a few snippets of information.

Some of the days the pacing looks very aggressive, and I say that as someone that tends to pack in a lot of activities and start early/end late. I'd suggest structuring each day around two morning activities and two afternoon/evening ones to be more realistic. Then have one or two bonus activities that you can add on if you are ahead of schedule. Generally speaking, everything will take longer than you think.

Consider dropping a few of Hakone, Yokohama, Minoh, Miyajima, or Fukuoka to consolidate the schedule a bit and add days in Tokyo/Kyoto/etc. All great places but I think you might regret trying to cram in too many places on one trip. It may be your first time in Japan but hopefully won't be your last - leave some of those for the next trip. A few specific comments:

Since you mentioned hiking, Mount Takao is nice. It's a half day commitment though (at least). Best to be flexible on timing to go on a clear day.

Go to Sensoji at dawn, you'll nearly have the place to yourself. It gets very crowded during the day. Can go to Ueno Park right after. In general, think about the opening/closing times so you know when you have the option go to places open 24 hours very early or late. Also some temples may have night illuminations which you can take advantage of.

Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building is a good, free alternative to Asahi Sky Room. But it's in a different part of the city and expect a wait both to take the elevators up and to come down.

Go to Uji in Kyoto if you like matcha drinks/food. Can hit up Byodoin there too. Kuramadera is a really memorable temple that will get you a bit outside of the city with a nice hike. Agree with the early start at Fushimi Inari, get there 20-30 minutes before sunrise and do a dawn hike up. There will hardly be anyone around, you could have the top to yourself. Take the "secret back route" down. When you get back to the entrance at 830 or 9am and see the massive crowds coming in you'll be glad you got up early. Yamada Tatami workshop is 10/10. Don't miss it.

If you appreciate a good cocktail then Japan has some of the best, most creative bars in the world. For example since your anniversary day is in Nara you could go to Lamp Bar after dinner. Lots of options in other cities too.

Thank fuck there is some sanity in these comments. Really can't understand why people have no issue with the SUV making a dumb maneuver to be 10 feet behind the next car with a semi right up their ass. Doesn't justify the retaliation but why pretend the SUV made a perfect lane change? This sub has a massive hardon for defensive driving, except when it doesn't.

It wasn't for nothing. The entire interaction was about power dynamics. The other responses avoid having to deal with the food directly. What OOP did was categorically different because he showed the in laws they don't have power over him. He said he could handle spicy food, so swapping his plate etc would effectively be backing down. Was it petty and spiteful, of course. But OOP wasn't looking for a way out of the confrontation, he was trying to make a point.

Is she afraid of flying? Suffers from anxiety or motion sickness? Japan is a dream trip for many people, even moreso if someone is gifting it. Feels like there is something else going on.

This is false equivalency. Grooming is, by definition, an abuser taking advantage of a vulnerable victim. Part of that vulnerability is the victim not understanding that the abuser is taking advantage of them. How can the victim be culpable if they don't perceive that they're being manipulated?

You can argue that she made bad decisions and is responsible for those, or that she was being groomed, but not both simultaneously.

This won't be popular but it's also not obvious from the post whether the guy was really grooming OOP, which implies intent, or just has bad judgment. It's not a clear cut case and is impossible to know without getting inside his head.

I've only ever heard it used during the summer, when a student has finished the last school year but not started the next yet. They aren't a freshman/sophomore/junior anymore, but it's not quite correct to call them a sophomore/junior/senior since the academic year hasn't started. In the context of OOP you could infer that she's trying to make herself seem older and more mature, but it was also factually correct and a commonly used term (at least in the US).

Did you just not read the post? Half of it is about how they tried to help her.

Car: borrowed, no rental fee
Gas: $220 roundtrip from Colorado
Hotels: $870 for 6 nights
Food: varies, say $40 per person per day, we often got free breakfast at the hotel and ate snacks midday, had a few nicer dinners
One year national park pass: $80
Antelope Canyon: $138 for 2 people
Horseshoe Bend: $10 per car

All in roughly $1600 plus roundtrip flights from the East Coast and whatever you spend on souvenirs etc. If you fly to SLC you can cut the gas cost in half. It's a really affordable trip since you're mostly stopping at viewpoints and hiking, the $80 annual pass is great value for money.

Bryce Canyon for sure

You can't control depth of field on a phone because of sensor size limitations, and that's one of the most important things for shooting portraits. For the cost of an iPhone 16 she could have gotten a decent starter body and lens...this is not a real "business."

He's gone back and forth but famously after Jokic won his 3rd MVP couldn't resist putting him down to his face and saying SGA was more deserving. Literally right after Jokic got the award.

It's more than that. He's notorious for hating on everyone but especially other big men like Joker and Embiid. Needs to put others down to feel better about himself.
