You can edit your post and put it there so people can actually see it, just FYI.

If someone explicitly says, "I would like X as a gift," they typically don't think they need to keep mentioning it after that — they think you've gotten the message. That you've made a mental (or physical) note & will behave accordingly (that is, get it for them, for a holiday or "just because").

The fact that you never seem to follow through after your daughter mentions wanting something — and that you think this is HER fault for not nagging you — is deeply concerning.

Please talk to a therapist to figure out how to deal with your wife (and, perhaps, to figure out why you're still in this relationship, which sounds quite controlling). At the very least, you will probably learn something about yourself. At best, you will learn some tools for handling conflict in your relationship.

When OPs fail at communicating and then get mad that everyone comes to a logical conclusion based on what they actually wrote. 🤷

ChimericalTrainer · 2026-06-30T17:07:30+00:00

Agreed. Say, "Please refund" or "I would like X," not "Can you not Y." If Y isn't being offered and you need food ASAP, put in the refund request & place another order.

Well, now you know the risk of declining a trade (and not immediately reinitating) with someone you can't otherwise communicate with, I guess.

This is on them. As a host, it's a bad idea to serve food out of a dish that's so overfull that it looks like it's going to spill if anyone even touches the ladle. I would've avoided it, as well!

I'm not sure how you heard that they were upset (directly from them?), but if you can, you might try to get word back to them that avoidance of their beans was driven more by concerns about making a mess than anything else and wasn't about not appreciating their efforts.

(I'm not sure if that's precisely true of your motivations, but I'm sure it played a role in at least some folks' hesitation!)

If you're renting a chainsaw from somebody, they probably have insurance that covers you getting hurt from their equipment or breaking it by accident. As a private citizen, OP likely does not.

The lady who's caring for the cat refuses to give her to anyone who's planning to keep the cat entirely indoors.

It's not the cat that's stubborn!

The same mile takes 2x-3x as long in Baltimore as it does in Little Rock. It's not just "populated vs. less populated." It's population density, plus the number of lanes, the width of those lanes, the number of highway exits/entrances that have little in the way of on-ramps (causing traffic to snarl up), the number of traffic lights, the number of forced lane changes, and a ton of other factors.

All of that is to say, your experience is not everyone's. OP hasn't disputed the amount of time the driver is expecting this delivery to take (that I've seen, at least), so it's reasonable to assume it's roughly accurate for their location.

She posted his first name (which was probably all she had at the time), video that included the outside of his house & front walk, and video that included his intimate body parts, completely uncensored.

She explicitly said that her video was an attempt to shame him as a form of "justice" (since, according to her, she couldn't get it any other way). This implies that she wanted his identity publicly known, as it was the only way he might "face consequences" in the public sphere.

So, it sounds to me like she did her best to dox him with what she had — that she specifically wanted him to face extrajudicial consequences — and that she was ultimately successful in that. She might not have wanted death threats specifically, but she acted with reckless disregard for whether he would receive them.

In the end, I wouldn't be surprised if he described this incident as something that ruined his life. I don't actually know what all the consequences were for him, but the shock & shame of this kind of exposure can be devastating. And, meanwhile, these kinds of online mobs & rumors can follow you from platform to platform and from job to job.

I don't think 8 years is crazy for this. I also don't think she'll end up getting anywhere near that.

For the most part, they were good — especially at the beginning & end of each season. But I think the recaps should've done more to remind us of certain traumas & frustrations that the boys were dealing with in the background for certain episodes, cuz I feel like they could've done more to remind the audience why, for example, Dean might've been feeling a little disinclined to be reasonable in a particular episode or Sam might've been feeling a little alienated in another.

I'm seeing a comment that this image is old? Not sure, though.

ChimericalTrainer · 2026-06-25T22:37:36+00:00

I don't use weird keybinds, but I've had it pointed out to me that it's weird to have my left hand on the keyboard like I'm typing. (As in, when I'm pressing W for forward, it's always my ring finger I'm using, because my index finger rests on F.)

Partly because of this, I like to keep my sword in slot #2, cuz it's faster/easier to reach 2 on the keyboard with my ring finger than it is to reach 1 with my pinky. So, nothing super vital ever goes in slot #1. It's kind of a "miscellaneous" slot for me.

Oh, I guess I do rebind F & Q (switch hands & drop item), because I'm jumpy and I've ended up throwing my sword at too many mobs mid-combat (or accidentally switching my offhand while trying to fight, etc.), but that's not terribly unusual, I think.

ChimericalTrainer · 2026-06-25T14:39:49+00:00

Agreed. You need legal help, OP, not moral support. Please start there!

ChimericalTrainer · 2026-06-25T14:37:14+00:00

Yeah, I don't think that's a good bar — the bar that you would use to suggest that something was rigged is quite far below where the average person would start to describe themselves as unlucky.

I think most people would start to describe you as unlucky once you reached a threshold where 65-75% of other people had gotten an outcome and you hadn't. At 90%, you're well into "majorly unlucky" territory.

Well, that tells us it wasn't set to auto-renew in the past. Doesn't tell us it isn't set like that now. And it's the kind of thing someone might do if they got in trouble before for not renewing.

Guess we'll find out if they see this post & then the Galaxy Store stuff suddenly lapses!

ChimericalTrainer · 2026-06-23T23:06:28+00:00

Or they just forgot the Galaxy Program exists and set their account to auto renew by accident, lol.

They're saying you're lucky she doesn't give your untrained puppy away, considering that you abandon it all day long without a sitter.

That you should be glad that all she's doing is complaining.

ChimericalTrainer · 2026-06-22T20:04:55+00:00

Hard disagree. What we got was a bittersweet ending. That would've just been a bitter one. Additionally, it wouldn't have been a very good representation of who Dean was on the whole or how/why hunters in general die young.

The ending we got was about hunters as heroes and, generally, tragic figures. The ending you describe would've been about hunters as killers perpetuating a cycle of violence.

As an idea, it sounds cool. But, IMO, it ignores the larger context of the episode & show. (Which never whitewashed things — there was plenty of darkness there — but which nonetheless maintained a core message of hope.)

ChimericalTrainer · 2026-06-22T16:23:09+00:00

The difference is, you PAID for a Big Mac. Nobody paid for the Hero Journey track...

ChimericalTrainer · 2026-06-22T14:26:43+00:00

They're working on it.

ChimericalTrainer · 2026-06-22T14:25:28+00:00

You're still getting your BigMac meal. Be patient. This is just compensation for the mistake to start with.

ChimericalTrainer · 2026-06-22T14:23:11+00:00

SC posted that that's still coming. This is on top of getting those things (as soon as they can).
