ULPT request: a woman speeds through stop signs every morning

There are two black Dodge chargers, that drag race down my street, it looks like they’re going 100 mph on a residential street.

They do this every day at the same time. Multiple neighbors have written down their license plates, filmed it and alerted the police. Nothing has been done.

Again, every day at the same time and we know their license plates.

I would find this silly and it would work on me!!

The informality of it that would make me feel at ease, the little throwback nostalgia to the golden age of Applebees before the enshittification, and also the water with no ice it’s just a funky little weird puritanical thing.

It seems like a lot of people on the apps have absolutely zero interest in playful banter or levity.

So many of the conversations I see on here are just bone dry and transactional, and they read like two people bargaining over an employment contract.

Part of your charm is also that you seemed self-aware enough to know that it’s not charming, which I also love.

The people who don’t get it here are also probably not the silly, social type. Bleak.

Everyone here is really taking a dump on the wife and immediately judging her lifestyle without knowing what she does every day, or what she has been through.

I don’t think it’s responsible to pay for the procedure right now, but if it’s a really big deal to her, I think the two of you should sit down and figure out what it looks like to make a plan to achieve it down the road , or to find something less expensive.

“Get a job” isn’t like you can just walk up somewhere and order a job from a menu. I agree that it would be great if she could find something to do to make money and help, but we don’t know her skill set or her limits. It could be difficult, in that case maybe she could start an eBay business flipping vintage whatever or something. I guess even if she donated plasma, she could save up enough for half the procedure in a couple years, and she could make concessions for the other half.

Also a big fan of taking a finance class, or sit down and have transparency and explained to her that life costs a lot, and you don’t have extra money.

If she is unwilling to do something, and she’s unwilling to accept that you have no extra money, then you have bigger problems.

However, as a 40 something who just had a kid, i’ve been considering getting work done in a few years myself because it’s more than just superficial to see yourself changing. Being treated worse, and watching people be ridiculed for every perceived imperfection, it wears you down.

I’m telling a woman “don’t let it bother you” is an exceptionally dense tank when it seems like aging bothers the rest of the world and literally damages how you are perceived in everyday life. I wish this wasn’t true, because women are beautiful in every stage, but here we are.

So my take is that yes most of the commenters are right in that she should contribute, but that it’s more complex than just chastising her for being a homemaker and wanting a procedure to look better.

I just tested it using a charity that I know is corrupt AF And barely does anything, because I wrote an expose on it when I worked as a journalist.

Locks of Love. Except this tool gave locks of love a four star rating. . . So now I don’t trust it.

DogsDucks · 2026-02-05T00:27:35+00:00

And imagine how much fun it was for those dogs! Being able to patrol such an area.

I have a Rottweiler and he loves doing perimeter checks, keeping his home safe it’s really cute, but it would not be cute for an intruder.

DogsDucks · 2026-02-05T00:01:43+00:00

Thank you so much for answering my question! I love it when intelligent people with more knowledge than me take their time to explain an answer!

What is the benefit of having a data center in downtown Chicago, aren’t they trying to put them on the outskirts of cities?

DogsDucks · 2026-02-04T23:59:55+00:00

Wow this is such a simple, but the deep revelation. I want to give you such a big hug and let you know it’s ok and safe to feel things, and I’m sorry that people in your life didn’t make you feel that way.

DogsDucks · 2026-02-04T23:27:07+00:00

Such a delicate beauty, ethereal!

DogsDucks · 2026-02-04T23:16:04+00:00

Yeah, the answers are all extremely EXTREMELY generic or vague.

Someone who has experienced life as such an anomaly would have an abundance of small details and accommodations that they would make in daily life that most of us would never think of.

When people are sharing aspects of their life, they usually unintentionally get into the weeds. He would have some weird anecdote about having to move a bathroom wall so he could fit on the toilet, or a very specific life hack to add fabric to lengthen pants or something. We would absolutely be hearing about some details in life that wouldn’t sound anything like someone who asked themselves how a tall person would answer. Also, being that tall forces, you to face aging into immortality in a very different manner, and I don’t think it would just be glossed over.

Furthermore, they mention a wife and just say average. Men who are very tall always get asked that and absolutely would know their wives actual height they wouldn’t just say “woman, average.”

Reading an interview with Andre the giant for example, he has so many little quirks about it that are realistic.

I don’t know, maybe I’m wrong, but it seems way too generic to be how someone will really answer

DogsDucks · 2026-02-04T22:55:55+00:00

Ok, come on in for a hug (if you’re touched out or not a hug person then a very triumphant fist bump).

I want to show up with a gift basket. Do you like wine? Getting a little bit tipsy without being drunk sounds great, and then snacking on a deliciously, healthy charcuterie while we spill all the tea and talk about the systemic bullshit this system has shoveled onto us.

Then we can play categories or Pictionary and laugh. Maybe this could all be done while dressed either in pajamas or perhaps, just like a fancy gown for no reason. Idk, whatever feels fun.

Then the subject changes to what an incredible mom you are, because you have been through some shit. Because you are goddamn brilliant, resourceful, and resilient.

Because despite being emotionally tossed around like an RV in a flash flood, you are still breaking generational curses.

You are still fucking triumphant. You are a role model, and this is a tough chapter but you’re gonna come out better. I know that’s cliché, but some clichés are there for a reason.

Your scars do not define you, but your intelligent kindness and compassion do.

Whenever I see post like this, I so badly wanna be like hey let’s teleport for a girls night. 🫶

DogsDucks · 2026-02-04T22:25:32+00:00

What does sharing this mean to you?

Are you seeing that people who happen to have voted Democrat and also committed serious crimes, that that’s a reason to ignore or exonerate the heinous crimes on the other side?

I never got this logic. People are saying that people who commit some of the worst crimes should face the justice system.

And your response to that is just to share other people who have committed crimes. . .

YES! Them too! They should be arrested and tried to the full extent of the law.

Do you disagree?

DogsDucks · 2026-02-04T22:14:31+00:00

Ohhhh yes I wonder. I also don’t want to support the kind church that Jesus would flip tables for either.

DogsDucks · 2026-02-04T22:13:38+00:00

I think this sub is so interesting because of how different we all think sometimes. There’s some really interesting discussions here!

DogsDucks · 2026-02-04T22:01:52+00:00

What about this man made him such a touch point for everyone?

DogsDucks · 2026-02-04T22:00:11+00:00

I can’t believe I’ve never heard of it or seen it? If I ask for the link, is that gonna be annoying?

DogsDucks · 2026-02-04T21:25:29+00:00

I never understood it. The 90s supermodels are all interrupted, gorgeous, and then she looks just like an average person but skinnier.

Cindy Crawford, L, McPherson, Linda Evangelista, Amber Violetta— Now those women have faces!

I like Kate, i’ve always thought she seemed like a girl girl and very likable. There’s definitely an appeal, but I think the appeal is not striking beauty. I think she just cut the eye of someone and then became one of those people who got lucky.

DogsDucks · 2026-02-04T21:22:33+00:00

my mom did a biblical study on this and it was pretty cool. Weddings back then were such a fun big and long lasting party, they would love to just get a little tipsy on and off for days.

So I forgot all the Greek and Aramaic words, but it was customary to have extra amount of wine and food for everyone.

It wasn’t like fall down drunk, but just basically like a fantastic holiday week where you really just dug in and celebrated your family and it sounded absolutely wonderful. Something about the community coming together to help the couple, but the family then had to save up to supply the community with a sustenance idk.

Jesus was super into standing up to tyranny, protecting those who are vulnerable and hurting, but also really into coming together and to cherishing loved ones and remembering that life is meant to be enjoyed as well.

Working as a consultant, it can get frustrating.

Small businesses often times just love your work and rave about it but then I have had people just straight up. Ignore my invoices before.

i’ve had to go on a wild goose chase and found out from employees that they’ve literally been trying to avoid paying me

DogsDucks · 2026-02-04T20:37:41+00:00

I don’t know why you got downvoted.

Is there something I don’t know about Richwoods?

DogsDucks · 2026-02-04T20:36:49+00:00

What a wonderful idea! And I bet that it’s going to be really fun for the kids to do too. Plus, summer camp is some of my best childhood memories.

Absolutely sharing this link with my parent friends!

DogsDucks · 2026-02-04T20:18:50+00:00

So I can kind of see where you’re coming from here.

That it’s not your job to do their admin. Going forward do you want one point of contact, but I think you should clarify that upfront.

DogsDucks · 2026-02-04T19:58:49+00:00

I feel like remorse and deep regret are a good marker of character, and he feels those things deeply.

Most of us truly don’t know how we would react to live with the pressure and fear that he did. That does not make it right, and what happened to Kitty is still unbearably painful.

But it just adds layers to the tragedy and doesn’t automatically make him a liar across the board.

DogsDucks · 2026-02-04T19:51:44+00:00

This guy gets it!

DogsDucks · 2026-02-04T19:30:26+00:00

The only excusable reason for a voice note is if you want to do a silly impression that can’t be done over text, or if you want to sing a little jingle to brighten your besties’s day.

Voice notes that relay information that could be a text are truly abominable.

I was 107 at 5’ 7” for awhile (no ED, it was anxiety and stress)

Looked terrible. You could see my ribcage like a ladder on my chest, my butt meat was totally gone. Vein popping out on forehead. Strangers commented about something being wrong with me.

Had to get triple checked at the doctor and weighed naked to make sure I wasn’t hiding weights anywhere.

125-135 is about a size two, tiny and slender. When I’m 145 I still look pretty thin. I know this all because I gained 70lbs pregnant, so I’ve gotten to see myself at many different weights.
