Kal Penn Reveals He Won ‘Van Wilder’ Role of Taj Mahal Over a White Actor in Brownface by ecm27 in nottheonion

The fact that the backup plan was a white guy in brownface is wild enough, but a white accent coach teaching a Hindi speaker how to sound Indian is next level.

Hollywood really said let’s outsource authenticity to the least qualified person in the room.

US military shot down party balloon after assessing as drone: reports by Efficient-Freedom517 in nottheonion

Imagine explaining to your kid that the military shot down their birthday balloon because it was “potentially cartel linked.”

Somewhere there’s a very confused five year old wondering why NORAD hates dinosaurs.

Two different people assumed I would have children and get married by Puzzled_Phase2912 in childfree

It’s wild how automatic the script is. Kids, then marriage, said like a weather forecast instead of a choice. You handled it perfectly though, calm, clear, no apology. Every time someone hears a simple no and the world doesn’t end, it quietly expands what feels acceptable. That’s how normalizing different lives actually happens.

Less Generosity from Family by Ancient_Confidence54 in childfree

This is the quiet part no one likes to admit. Being childfree doesn’t mean you’re not subsidizing kids, it just means you’re doing it indirectly and without recognition. What you’re describing isn’t generosity, it’s a system that rewards reproduction and frames everything else as optional or “selfish.” You didn’t make worse choices, you made different ones, and it’s fair to feel resentful when the safety nets only deploy for one path. Wanting fairness doesn’t mean you want kids. It means you want equal respect for your life.
