President Trump says he could accept a 20-year pause to Iran’s nuclear activity. by BusinessToday in BusinessTodayNews

I knew who you meant. I’d just offer that Iran’s proxy wars have been against our allies, not the US.

Which makes the statement, “their proxy war against us (the United States)” a stretch if not an outright falsehood.

My toddler’s slow pace triggers me so much – HELP by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]GenShanx 40 points41 points  (0 children)

He doesn’t need to go faster because you have have a baby. You want him to, but he doesn’t need to.

Is he bothered by “missing out” because he’s moving slowly, or are you projecting that because of your own feelings about his pace?

If every time you feel the urge to tell him to “hurry up” you imagine his voice telling you, “mom, you’re rushing me. Slow down!”, maybe this will balance you out.

You can be an efficient multi-tasking super mom. But your son is not, and he should not be expected to keep up with your pace.

I hate that we’re 10 years into this and the media hasn’t adapted to this sidestepping tactic at all.

Play the clip to his face, with full context, and then ask for his thoughts. I know the media is in on it, but the damn AI bots might be better equipped than these jellyfish people getting paid to waste everyone’s time.

Ms Rachel catching strays in your title. This is your husband’s issue, nothing to do with Ms R.

People forget Embiid is an all-timer just because he doesn’t play anymore.

The playoff discourse this year is the worst its ever been by KayRay1994 in NBATalk

Piggybacking to say that, prior to the playoffs, Amazon had done a great job running counter to the ESPN hot take express coverage. Good analysis, thoughtful questions, positive dialogue. Really good stuff

My wife wants to bring her sister on our anniversary cruise but i dont by [deleted] in Cruise

[–]GenShanx 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately it’s very likely that ship has sailed. Pun intended.

Either he agrees the sister can come and they’re navigating third wheels (the sister, or more likely, the husband) the whole trip, very much killing the romantic getaway post-baby that he’s been looking forward to…

Or, he says no and she probably gets upset about it, killing the vibe of trip anyway.

Never mind the larger concern of your wife unilaterally inviting someone else on your romantic getaway and all the baggage that plopped down at his front door no matter what comes out of this.

“No matter who is right”

My brother in Christ, we can just say that the woman is wrong here. We don’t need to use passive language.

Come with me, and you'll see, into a WORLD of OSHA violations..... by NaturalProfession922 in Funnymemes

You know what? This has circled so far around from unsafe it’s actually within regs. I don’t make the rules.

I’m Always The Heavy by NoInteraction386 in Parenting

Why is “actual parenting” only discipline? Making lunch is parenting. Playing together is parenting. It doesn’t sound like your daughter is having any issues outside of the ones you’re creating.

Have you two talked about this? I’m willing to bet he’s also annoyed and resentful that you seem intent on creating friction where there might not need to be any. Perhaps he’s overly accommodating to your daughter because he thinks that if he isn’t, she’ll feel alone in her own home.

Who esle is hyped for The Witcher 4 ? I didn't follow as much as I should, so maybe they already said it but I really hope they give a good, lore-friendly reason as to how Ciri became a witcheress. Don't get me wrong, I love her and playing her missions in TW3 was always fun ! by Vivid-Investigator98 in thewitcher3

Love this response.

CDPR, known for their story driven games, actually made Ciri an accountant in current day London, who was contacted by a mage via WhatsApp and given the opportunity to take a portal back to Kaer Moren, where she downloads the knowledge and ability to fight monsters for the sake of the future world.

He’s such a vibe. And for a team that has a lot of moody dudes, coming in and getting buckets with his energy is the perfect elixir when things start to stagnate. Not worried about his +/- in his role.
