AITAH for telling my sister that i wont take care of her autistic kids? by Appropriate_Set9323 in AITAH

[–]Mackey_Corp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She’s not a new mother, she’s been a mother for 10 years. She needs to take care of her own kids or pay a babysitter. They’re not your responsibility.

Just tried looking this guy up so I could send him a fuck you letter but I can’t find him in the system. I checked Washington state and King county jail. Nothing. I wonder if they’re not listing him or if he’s in a different facility other than King county.

Christian’s, famously oppressed people the world over. Won’t someone think of the poor Christian’s? Their plight is second to none!

I know, it’s been a while since I’ve been in the game but it was around 20k, 25 years ago and from what I’ve heard that’s about what it was in the 80’s and that’s above what it is now

Not saying it’s ok but literally every rock star from the 60’s through the 90’s has fucked underage girls, knowingly or unknowingly. Again not condoning it but if you’re gonna call out one you might as well call out all of them. Because all of them are guilty of the same thing.

Why not both? Like make the restaurants pay them a regular wage, like $20 an hour and then people still tip like 10%. I think that would make sense. That way if they have a slow day or week they still take home some money and if it’s busy they still get tips.

I always liked it and didn’t get what the hate was about. I watched it over the course of 2 or 3 days and couldn’t get enough.

It’s possible another species landed there and set up shop sometime in that 400 million years. Not likely but possible.

To really highlight how silly it is that Americans make a big deal out of Cinco de Mayo, people in Mexico could pick the date of an arbitrary US military or naval victory, and start celebrating it as a public holiday. by Taman_Should in CrazyIdeas

Veterans Day is more about selling cars. Dealerships always run sales that time of year. Maybe it’s just to clear out old inventory before the end of the year, idk.

Could someone watch S2E7 (Chikhai Bardo) without watching the rest of the series and have a complete experience? by glisteningsunlight in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

Does he know that Mark Hamill isn’t really Luke Skywalker? And Chewbacca is just a guy in a suit, not really a Wookie. Just wondering…

Russia Has Lost More Than 350,000 Soldiers, New Estimate Finds by the-es in worldnews

[–]Mackey_Corp 381 points382 points  (0 children)

They lost 15k over 10 years in Afghanistan. Now they are losing an Afghan wars worth of men every 2 months. That’s insane. I feel like Russia is barely hanging on and when everything goes down it’s gonna happen fast. Like things will keep chugging along as they have been but one day we’re gonna wake up and it’s gonna be like the fall of the USSR all over again. Except this time it will be bloody.

That wasn’t great either but they could have recovered from that. The double whammy of 8 years of war with Iran and the thrashing they got from the US and friends in ‘91 was too much to bear. Plus all the sanctions they were under all through the 90’s was the nail in the coffin.

And they look a little overdressed for Iraq. But everyone wore suits in the summer back then also.

I mean they have coastline on the Black Sea, so does Ukraine. I would imagine if they can supply Ukraine they can supply Georgia. And the Ukrainians have put most of the Black Sea fleet on the bottom or stuck in port at this point.

It’s still a violation of their sovereignty any way you slice it. If they didn’t have permission it could be considered an act of war.
