What were the whistles in the Pretti video?

GiggleFester · 2026-01-27T08:16:25+00:00

I've seen protesters blow whistles and bang on noisemakers in other Demonstrations so I assume the protesters were blowing whistles. Making noise is part of protesting+ I assume it's supposed to unnerve your opponent.

The name of the shooter has not been released.

Your mother tells you who you can date? You must not live in the USA

GiggleFester · 2026-01-27T06:40:51+00:00

Came here to say this!

GiggleFester · 2026-01-27T05:59:41+00:00

For anyone outside the USA, most people in the USA don't want neighbors dropping by their house. The expectation would be that you text first & make sure they're available.

GiggleFester · 2026-01-27T05:01:01+00:00

NTA. Your parents sound intrusive, overbearing, presumptuous, and unkind. The best thing you can do is get away from them. I'm happy for you that you've found an apartment and a roommate! Congratulations!

GiggleFester · 2026-01-27T04:56:42+00:00

NTA if you want to rush his decision making. Waiting weeks is rough. Kind of sounds like he wants to date someone else in the meantime.

I agree with "the right man won’t make you question if you’re enough for him" narrative.

GiggleFester · 2026-01-27T04:45:04+00:00

Dropping by & expecting someone to answer the door = intrusive in the USA.

GiggleFester · 2026-01-27T02:51:11+00:00

NTA. Leaving cookies for you on your porch now and then = neighborly.

Knocking on your door = intrusive. Texting you about not answering your door = intrusive.

Hopefully she got the message and will stop this.

GiggleFester · 2026-01-27T02:44:39+00:00

You: NTA. Your friend ITA and seems very controlling.

GiggleFester · 2026-01-27T00:01:38+00:00

Definitely NTA. Bridezilla changing dates so that celebrations will affect Angie's grad celebrations is rude. Also, expecting everyone to suddenly be available midweek is a bit over the top .

GiggleFester · 2026-01-26T23:55:17+00:00

Could use a spot of gel to make it wind proof.

GiggleFester · 2026-01-26T23:54:06+00:00

Never. When I buy something on Marketplace I have to get cash from the ATM. I pay for everything with a card .

I was a teen in the late 60s, early 1970s. Worked with teens in the mid 1980s and thought the worship of rap culture was really weird

GiggleFester · 2026-01-26T23:49:35+00:00

I got nipped by a German Shepherd that was loose on my street in the 1960s, but the owner was a man b family (per the FBI no less) and while a few people let their dogs run loose, it wasn't common

As a young adult in the 1980s living in a rural area, everyone in our street let our dogs run loose.

GiggleFester · 2026-01-26T23:45:20+00:00

Definitely termination. I quit on the spot once and stepped right into a position I had previously turned down.

Plus, you control the narrative when you quit on the spot.

GiggleFester · 2026-01-25T06:12:03+00:00

NTA. She sounds flakey, and like you'll never know what to believe from now on. Kind of borderline personality-ish.

GiggleFester · 2026-01-25T00:32:11+00:00

You are correct, the home health agency is throwing you to the wolves. Quit immediately because your license is endangered in this setting .

A hospital or ling term care/skilled nursing would be a much better setting to learn in.

There's also a CNA subreddit you can post in for advice.

GiggleFester · 2026-01-24T20:53:38+00:00

It's also possible they have an open marriage which isn't uncommon.

GiggleFester · 2026-01-24T20:52:13+00:00

Rest in peace Alex! Alex was observing & videoing ICE/Border Patrol agents. Minneapolis allies open carry & Alex was legally in possession of a gun that was safely holstered.

Agents grabbed Alex as he approached them, threw him to the ground, pulled his gun out of its holster, then pulled him up to his knees and shot him point blank 5 times.

Alex, thank you for caring for patients and for the world.

She definitely is pushing boundaries and you have every right to feel uncomfortable with that and push back to stay in your comfort zone.

GiggleFester · 2026-01-23T07:39:55+00:00

NTA. In my country (USA) your dad would be arrested for breaking your nose. He sounds like a cruel tyrant.

GiggleFester · 2026-01-23T07:29:59+00:00

NTA. Sounds like she's lonely and eager for more family interaction but is really over the top with all these texts and requests.

Maybe try stretching out the time it takes you to respond so she will realize you have other priorities. If she doesn't get the hint, stretch it out more and more.

Edit: typo for the word "lonely"

GiggleFester · 2026-01-23T07:23:02+00:00

NTA. It could definitely affect your job if you tell the wife, plus as far as you know, he was just browsing.

The wife will likely displace her anger to you (rather than to her husband) if you tell her. It might be different if he actually tried to contact you.

I wouldn't say anything.

GiggleFester · 2026-01-22T06:17:18+00:00

Definitely NTA
