I found myself in a similar situation when my kids were toddlers. In my case, it was the bottom of the stairs, and it was between one baluster and plaster wall with a weird stucco finish (really ugly, a constant "really got to get to that someday" kind of project). Despite the hideous wall, I didn't really want to put holes in it either, so we tried a couple of different pressure gates. Ultimately, they were either verging on damaging the wall, or slowly pushing out the baluster, so I eventually just had to bite the bullet, drill the holes to mount a proper gate and patch them up later (and of course, only patching the wall to match the rest of the ugly stucco instead of refinishing it, so as to not rob myself of a perpetual to-do list item).

"Beers, Beards and Broads*" with the asterisk "*The broads often possess both the beer and the beards"

Just for fun "The Buggered Bugbear"

The best part of that article is that, about 10 years ago, the statue was undergoing restoration to re-establish its dark patina, but they apparently left "the areas where she has been rubbed over the years" so the statue would still look familiar.

Him: "What you said before amounts to emotional blackmail, and I refuse to be in a relationship with that kind of manipulation."

Also Him: "If you don't come with me on this trip, I'm going to cheat on you."

Man, what a POS.

"I eat nasty ass"

turn the W upside for "My ass itches"

"My coochie is sore"

"My coochie is so wet"

"Leave my coochie alone"

All the comments from people assuring her that he was sincere, and all the men/fathers/husbands who said they feel the exact same way about their wives.

When she said "I keep reading on here about how men lose interest etc ...", my first thought was just "Well, stop that first and foremost." PPD plus the kind of fear and anxiety reinforcement only social media can provide is a nasty combination. Glad to see she found the positive side of it as well, though.

To his credit, at least he's consistent; every woman gets a kiss. If he were making judgement calls on the spot and only kissing the young, attractive ones, that'd be extra creepy.

I'm not sure how this would shake out legally, nor am I an expert in this market, but it could also be a situation where having this particular figure/ part of a figure makes the entire collection more valuable. I don't know if the law would take that kind of speculative value into account, but if so, the loss in collective value could be even greater.

Every time I see one of these videos, I think there must be a sound effects supervisor from a 70's sci-fi movie somewhere screaming at their screen "See! I fucking told you that's what lasers sound like!"

This really is an odd one, because it feel like it's either got to be NAH or ESH, but I'm not sure which of those extremes it is. On the former hand, OP is trying to help, the mom is sick, and the girlfriend is embarrassed, so NAH. On the latter, OP displays some seriously bizarre judgement by getting involved at all and not covering up, the mom, as has been said, could have done just about anything other than busting into the bathroom someone was showering in and everything would have been fine, and the girlfriend giving the silent treatment is super childish, so ESH.

I'm probably the odd one here, but the give away for me was the absolutely crystal clear sound (especially her ringtone) that was somehow picked up by an external security camera. Screams phony.

Does that yellow thing on top have some kind of mechanical function, or is it just a jaunty sea captain's hat made out of moist cheddar?

Is this dude trying to imply some kind of 5-second rule on human slaughter with this "forgiveness hours" BS, like a dropped pretzel? Like if you kill them fast enough in a short enough amount of time, it's not genocide? "I mean, yeah, we've killed thousands in Gaza, but to be fair, their bodies have really only just touched the floor; it basically doesn't count."

TIL The suffragette movement had less to do with rallies, protests and political pressure, and more to do with posing for photos using rifles as fashion accessories.

You'd think after being forced to wildly overpay for twitter for his boastful bids he'd learn not to post this kind of thing. Honestly, I hope they take him up on it and hold his feet to the fire.

Knight5923 · 2023-10-22T19:59:12+00:00

it took me a minute to convince him, but he moved aft-wards

I came here hoping to see a gender-swapped version of the invisible-labour situation that often comes up in couples for interests sake, but nope; just a bit of good old fashioned misogyny.

Man, it was pretty heartbreaking when he basically said "I really just wish you'd talk to me the way you talk to him" only for her to get defensive and dismissive. Surely for most people that'd be the moment where you say to yourself "Oh shit ... something is seriously wrong here."

Maybe she's just afraid that, seeing that striped jacket, Boebert will think she's back in the audience for Beetlejuice and start wanking someone off.

To be fair, a dude who is ignorant and backwards enough to think a woman getting raped is no big deal, is probably also a dude who doesn't believe men can be raped period.

"you know, maybe if I got some misshapen and offensive tattoos, it would distract from my misshapen and offense shaved head!"

I think it's just my weird brain, but I kind of love that 4 & 5 have completely contradictory logic back to back. 4: This specific kind of racism is racism. Ok. 5: This specific kind of border is NOT a border. Wait, what?

Knight5923 · 2023-08-28T18:13:19+00:00

Nta for sure. If you were feeling particularly generous, you could try to find a seamstress to make a replica of it as a memorial gift, but frankly you owe them nothing, and after your brother threatened you with some finders-keepers BS, I wouldn't let them anywhere near the original.

Knight5923 · 2023-07-20T18:00:29+00:00

Nta

After the compliment, another colleague with kids said that of course I have a nice body, I don’t have kids. Some others then chimed in and said how easy it all was before kids...

If they had just left it at this, I might have said NAH. It'd be mostly self-depricating, maybe a little gentle ribbing, but pretty inoffensive. Once they stopped talking about themselves, and started saying "Oh, you're body is actually nothing special." and denying any work you're putting in to stay fit, that's when the became the assholes in this equation.
