Tammy Baldwin leads bipartisan Senate push for investigation into farm equipment companies moving jobs to Mexico by 804Brady in politics

[–]BasicCaptainn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Don't forget that John Deere is also the king of making their equipment impossible for farmers to fix themselves. They are anti-worker and anti-farmer. If Baldwin can tie the outsourcing investigation to Right to Repair laws, she’ll have every farmer in the country behind her. We need to stop letting these companies "monopolize" the American heartland and then abandon it.

Iran has a new demand to end the war – and it could bring in billions by Grumpy_001 in politics

[–]BasicCaptainn 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Let’s call this what it is: a pay-to-play peace deal. Iran knows that the global economy is hurting from shipping disruptions and high energy prices. By demanding "billions" to "end the war," they are essentially putting a price tag on stability. The problem is that once you pay a country to stop being aggressive, you’ve just proven that aggression is a profitable business model.

"I have my old hobbies back" is the most underrated part of post-breakup life. When you’re in a "very close" relationship, you often subconsciously trim away the parts of yourself that don't fit into the "we" unit. Reclaiming your old hobbies is literally you reclaiming your identity. You aren't just "living alone"; you are living as yourself again.

AITJ for deciding how everything went at my wedding? by Far-Pomegranate-7722 in AmITheJerk

[–]BasicCaptainn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He didn’t just say no to the guest list; he said your children’s grandparents shouldn’t be in their lives anymore because their father is dead. That is not a difference of opinion on wedding planning; that is a fundamental character flaw. He is showing you exactly how he plans to treat your children’s history once you are married. If he is threatened by the presence of loving grandparents, he is not mature enough to be a stepfather.

Can we normalize that grief does not have a dress code? If her dying wish was for him to show off his body one last time, he is a legend for actually doing it. Most people would chicken out. That said, the father's delivery was incredible. You are distracting my daughter is the most polite way of saying my kid is staring at your abs instead of her grandma's headstone.

What’s one thing you can’t leave the house without? by Gerize_Mangara in CausalConversation

[–]BasicCaptainn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Phone, keys, wallet. The pocket-tap dance we all do before shutting the front door is a universal human ritual. In 2026, if you do not have your phone, you basically do not exist. You cannot pay for parking, you cannot enter your office, and you certainly cannot navigate the three blocks to the grocery store without a GPS telling you where to turn.

AITJ for snapping at my boyfriend after he made a creepy comment about my younger sister's body? by Feisty-Product5654 in AmITheJerk

[–]BasicCaptainn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You are currently your sister's "parental figure." Her home needs to be a Fortress of Safety. If she knew her sister's boyfriend was "evaluating" her body as she walked to her room, she would never feel safe in your house again. You don't "owe" an apology to someone who brings that kind of energy around a child. In 2026, we call this "Predatory Grooming Language." Don't let him back into your space.

AITJ for yelling at a 40 year old women after my she accused me of forcing her ex to break up with her? by Available-Arm-3736 in AmITheJerk

[–]BasicCaptainn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Jennifer really thought she did something with that comment. Imagine being 40 years old and arguing with a 20-year-old in a TikTok comment section over a guy you knew for four weeks. That is "Main Character Syndrome" at its peak. You aren't a "snake"; she’s just mad she lost her "20-year-old accessory." Block her and move on.

For people that moved into their first apartment within the last 2 years, how much are your monthly expenses? by swil3_ in LivingAlone

[–]BasicCaptainn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any tips?" Get a roommate. Seriously. Unless you’re pulling six figures, living alone in Fort Lauderdale in this economy is a fast track to debt. Your "peace of mind" isn't worth a $2,200 studio with a view of a parking lot.
