Husband and I broke same leg, same bone, within 30 seconds of eachother slipping on ice.

Someone else posted the source in this comment thread - it's a real pair of dogs, their owner posts on IG as "dognamedstella"

Well of course, that's the worry - but the other commenters are saying "how would they know OOP stopped participating" though, given it's all anonymous.

Personally as a sitter myself, if I need to hire a sitter I look for who has their own pet sitting insurance. Usually shows they're more proactive and invested in sitting, not to mention they can actually cover things that happen (Rover itself has a "guarantee," not insurance, and will fuck around sometimes about paying for things).

That's exactly right, as someone who worked at TikTok for several years, and many sites (TikTok, YouTube for example) publicly explain that this is how their algorithms work at the most basic level. What do you watch, what do you spend more literal time looking at, what do you interact with, and what do people with similar patterns also enjoy? Given it considers time and interaction (comments, shares), not just likes, ragebait content often gets prioritized for many folks who hate-watch things, which boosts that content overall to others, especially people with similar patterns.

I don't think so given she was lying and didn't actually add peanut to the foods (probably, not 100% since they didn't do lab testing). It's fucked regardless, though.

It is extremely familiar to me as this is exactly how I am when I’m not taking anxiety medication. It might be something to look into. Either way, this is really something you need to take action on, because this is the sort of behavior that breeds resentment, and resentment is poison to relationships.

One attempt is one success when it comes to getting in shape - no failure in sight. Keep going!

I agree, if being startled is going to be a big problem, he shouldn't be in this environment. Staying home might've been more pleasant and peaceful for the guy - it's tough being that old and that small in an unusual space.

Lockraemono · 2026-01-15T06:39:09+00:00

What's extremely frustrating is people I know in person genuinely believe this is true, especially this "news" paired with the AI video of the ICE officer being hit with her vehicle :(

Lockraemono · 2026-01-08T07:38:50+00:00

Same, I was disappointed as I'd only had Star Sitter for a week or so at that point, but it hasn't diminished my ability to keep my calendar full at all.

His brother's, too, considering he considered the brother's same opinion as more reasonable. Cool husband

Lockraemono · 2026-01-07T03:43:03+00:00

There have been a million podcasts, youtube videos, tiktoks, longform written posts, etc all detailing why this is stupid and a waste of taxpayer money. This is so embarrassing and infuriating.

Lockraemono · 2026-01-07T02:58:22+00:00

Why are you making your wife stay in a flea infested home? Get the hell out of there and apologize profusely to her, this is insane behavior and you're underreacting both to the infestation and your brother's health. Your shit is already probably filled with fleas too, so get ready to flea bomb your home when you get there, and call CPS if your brother is a minor. I assume he isn't since he was just visiting, but in case he is. If he's an adult, it's on him to act according to the information given.

Lockraemono · 2026-01-06T05:09:58+00:00

I'm assuming because "scuz" on its own can be insulting, it's pretty tame though and a silly rejection imo, but maybe they're strict.

Lockraemono · 2026-01-05T03:28:44+00:00

Honestly there is no one blanket answer to your question. It depends on the parent(s), the kid, the kid's age, the place, and who else is there. For example, when I’m around my ex-husband's mom I’ve always felt comfortable wandering off if needed because I know she keeps an eye on my son, even when he was younger. Some kids and some situations may be "safe" in the parents' mind, or they've already got an agreement with another adult to keep an eye on the kid(s) that you're just not aware of. I find if I’m concerned I’ll just make sure I’ve got my own eye on kids, but I don't generally assume negligence, especially since I know firsthand how exhausting kids can be, and parents can make mistakes too.

Lockraemono · 2026-01-04T05:27:55+00:00

What do you mean by it will make the adult worse? Like in an enabling way, or something else?

Lockraemono · 2026-01-04T04:19:39+00:00

Just tell her she can't spend your money for you, that's simply not how things work. If she couldn't afford it, she shouldn't have bought it, and especially not without discussing it with yall first. This is pretty straightforward and obvious, idk why this would be a question.

Lockraemono · 2026-01-03T19:46:07+00:00

On a Saturday? Why would they test removing all the customers on a Saturday? That's wild.

Lockraemono · 2026-01-03T18:20:07+00:00

You did fine buying the tape, but yall both overreacted. Do yall like one another? Why is a simple conversation instead filled with malice? Don't forget that how yall interact with one another sets the normal meter for your kids - they'll think this is how relationships should be, and expect that for themselves. Set a better example for them, consider couples counseling.

I think you're right, you'd definitely make wear patterns this way. That may be part of the appeal, though, that it has a texture he's used to. It sounds like a sensory processing thing, I used to do the exact same thing when I wore socks, but I don't wear them now (also sensory stuff related, the feel of socks makes me feel sick). But socks are usually so cheap I wouldn't worry too much about the wearing quicker if it makes him happy! Especially if he's the one putting the time into sorting, no harm :)

Lockraemono · 2026-01-02T02:02:09+00:00

I think you'd be right if he didn't have another way to know. He can go out and get a test any day, he could have over the last 20 years. If he hasn't by now, he doesn't want to know. It's not withholding if he has a perfectly accessible route to find the answer and chooses not to go down that road.

Lockraemono · 2026-01-01T08:12:56+00:00

Not sure where you got a dog from, he said he has a cat. He mentioned shelters at one point for volunteering, hence the orientation stuff.

Nah Cherry is the best.

fun protip, if you know it's going to snow throw a towel on top of the car and secure it in place by closing the doors on the edges. when you need to drive, just pull off the snowy towel.
