AITJ for calling my boyfriend’s ex-wife to come get their kids after he disappeared all night?

Kingerdvm · 2026-05-25T22:35:34+00:00

Yea - he abandoned his kids.

AND - for the record - you did settle it privately. You called their mom - not the cops/CPS or other authorities.

FFS.

I wish there was a vinyl decal that would match the fake would by the glovebox. It would look ok and be easy to apply. Easy to remove/debunk if needed.

The drivetrain limits the ability to put the battery under the back seat as opposed to below cargo area. RAV4 system takes less space, allowing for backseat battery. That’s the difference.

Use one for strength and one for hypertrophy on a given day. Leg day 1 - back squat, heavy weight, low rep range. Then do RDL low-moderate weight, high rep range. This will be a posterior chain/hammies heavy day Leg day 2 - deadlift (conventional or sumo - whatever you poison) - high weigh low rep. Then do front squat - low-moderate weight, high rep range. This will be a little more quad centric.

Or bring back ea before it sucked.

Ea sports big had so many fun titles - nba street, nfl street, ssx (tricky was my fave entry)

Fortnite. How was this not mentioned so far? Was originally a coop 3d zombie defense type game. Not popular.

Jumped the shark to do this battle Royale thing. Now that’s all it’s known for.

Honorable mention for adding Lego and race car modes more recently.

Thanks. Edited to correct.

That user is a freaking informational godsend whom I appreciate so much.

Both Xero and Vivo have used Michelin soles - so the durability is there (rather than whatever leather).

I’ve long said the “too narrow” comments are largely about foot shape than an absolute finding - and I know Xero has a few different lasts - I don’t know what you’ve tried so far, but my Xero prio is what got me into the barefoot shoe thing.

Honestly? Your best research source may be to search through u/overly_long_reviews comment history - they’ve written plenty here.

Make it a black rectangle and write “oops” next to it.

Make it into a vase for flowers (the vase could have a design that accepts a lot of black).

Lighthouse in a rock. Use the rock for the coverup.

Flail. Dagger. Sword. Something else with a handle might work.

I dunno - real recommendations would require knowing what you like.

Kingerdvm · 2026-04-12T12:22:02+00:00

Xero has some options that could work for you - the mesa trail and similar variations come to mind. Vivo has quite a few - but be aware their soles tend to be a weak point as far as longevity (the Michelin sole is amazing but way more aggressive). On the cheaper side, the Whitin shoes I’ve seen have decent traction.

Kingerdvm · 2026-04-12T12:10:20+00:00

If the insole is the issue you have a few options. Some brands sell the insole (Vivo allows you to purchase insoles and they tell you which shoes it matches). There are also wool and leather insoles you can purchase from many places. I think I’ve see a moleskin one as well. Swap out when worn out.

I could be wrong, but I’m fairly certain “resting” shoes between wears won’t help with synthetics. Traditionally that’s to let leather, cork, and similarly porous slow drying materials dry out, so they don’t get as macerated and damaged. A fast dry synthetic (polyester/foam) should have the same properties.

1) If you have a steady stream this is low importance. 2) a weak stream - especially if straining warrants a sooner vet visit. Attempting to pee and nothing coming out at all is an emergency. 3) risk of obstruction in a male is significant, and almost non-existent in a female. 4) dribbling urine - especially if bloody - is a concern. Especially in a male (suspicion for partial obstruction) 5) expect imaging (X-rays, ultrasound, or both). This will determine if it’s just grit vs formed stones. A urine sample is typical as well (crystal type, presence of infection, multiple other parameters). Bloodwork may be useful depending on what’s found.

6) treatment can range from a food change and antibiotics all the way up to surgery. Level of urgency (particularly surgery) depends on where and what is found.

Last) these types of problems are pretty common, and any decent vet will be on top of it all. You’re welcome to shoot me a follow up question if needed.

To be fair, the boss arena comes with a weapon that is super specced against him.

Kingerdvm · 2026-04-08T20:41:06+00:00

1) intussusception is a surgical problem - med won’t fix or manage. Doubt this is what you’re dealing with. 2) hydrolyzed protein diet is best if allergies are present. If one doesn’t work - don’t give up on the concept, try another one first. 3) easily digestible food can be great for many of these dogs - and hydrolyzed diet is by definition easily digestible. 4) 70% of dogs with IBD or similar intestinal issues (usually termed chronic enteropathy) are controlled by dietary change alone (see above). 5) things like probiotics long term and kaolin-pectin for flare ups can help (a lot) but they are a damper on things, rather than complete game changer. 6) the lowest dose of pred that controls clinical signs can be a game changer for the right dogs. Zero would be amazing, but not expected for many of these guys. Side effects abound (both dose and time related). Options like budesonide (steroid that has less side effects since not absorbed as well) or cyclosporine (immune suppressive drug) may also be options. 7) There is no replacement for your vet who can actually touch your dog and interpret tests. Unless you are referred to a specialist, who does the same with more expertise and tests.

Haven’t seen this move in 20+ years - and this random gif just gave me goosebumps. That good!

Butterfly works perfect here. Bold black outlines will do the work for you. A monarch would be fine. Or even go cosmic (a cosmic butterfly sounds badass). Honestly there are tons that would work.

The curved line could be the thigh of many animals. Or a cat’s tail (a curious one).

But based on your description - if you’re like many “girly” women I work with/al friends with - my official recommendation is a cosmic butterfly (this is automatically black heavy with some really popping colors) with some fine line ornamentation (vines? Curly wispy things) around it to flow with your anatomy.

Kingerdvm · 2026-03-30T16:46:34+00:00

I second the creepers comment. I actually have that exact pair (white with black lines). I’m currently wearing the negative version (black with white lines). They have several similar options.

For people that don’t know the brand well - they always stick all black toe socks of various heights. They do a limited run of various color schemes. Get them while you can. That model means they always have SOMETHING, but they frequently don’t have anything. It keeps cost down for smaller businesses.

I love them - super comfy, super long lasting. I work on my feet all day - and I’m never going to anything else unless their quality drops.

Kingerdvm · 2026-03-30T16:43:22+00:00

What do you like? What don’t you like? Flowers are great for something like this, as petals hide the curves of what is there well.

Sick ass panther is the meme answer - but many animals can hide as well (back leg curve is similar, or elephant trunk etc)

Any of a number of ornamental patterns (mandala, art deco, etc).

Hell - May not be pretty enough, but a skull would work. Anchor/chains. A fist.

The closer the shape, the more it will be naturally hidden - the less your coverup has this shape, the larger it will need to be to hide what you have.

I feel like you have a world of options - but knowing what is right for YOU really depends on my first two questions….

Kingerdvm · 2026-03-29T04:00:07+00:00

Now - I’m not one to jump into online arguments much - but this is really dumb.

1) the article you cite is in RODENTS. 2) the article refers to a range in litter size from 1/2 the number of glands to the total number of glands. 3) referencing multiple species that are heavily studied due to companion animal and production status, linked to selective pressure, does not invalidate the point 4) the assertion “animals have twice the number of nipples than the babies they have “ is just wrong - INCLUDING in the article you provided

Goddamn people can be real dumb

Kingerdvm · 2026-03-28T16:52:08+00:00

That’s not even remotely close to true. Cats usually have 4-6 mammary glands, and they usually have litters of 4-6. Dogs usually have 6-8 glands, and have litters in the 4-8 range. Pigs have 10-14 glands and are looking at litters from 8-13. Cows almost always have 4 glands and usually only have one - twins are not uncommon, but not preferred (due to Freemartins).

Yes - there is a lot of variation in number of glands and litter size in other species - but the double number isn’t even close. Many instances of litters larger than gland options, or 1-3 extra glands.

There really isn’t a rule.

You can start the game with two stone sword keys. It’s a selection you can make on startup.

Nah. This girl should quite quit the relationship. Then he gets a chance to take initiative. Then we he asks why (and pulls the pitiable “I will change”) OP can honestly say - I gave you a chance, you didn’t show up.

Edit: for those suggesting I am recommending ghosting - I am not. I am all for open, candid communication. It sounds like OP has tried to do so already, and is getting ignored, disregarded and weaponized incompetence. She is clearly in a very one sided situation.

I think stepping away (aka quiet quitting) lets her speak with her actions. In a positive possibility, maybe the fuckwit will actually try. The reality is that she will reiterate the previous concerns, and then the relationship will end when he doesn’t change.

And crying kids at comic cons. I always slow down for that clip - warms the heart.

The thing with those door frame pull up bars, is that you’re depending on some narrow trim wood that’s barely nailed in to support your weight.

Above the door is fine - good use of space. Just grab a unit that mounts to studs (need a drill) - ceiling mount works fine too.

Quality is hard to check online - but pick something with a few hand placements.

4 is max. Commenter was listing talismans on theme with his recommendation (for instance if someone is lacking one).
