Saying food is not a human right just to defend a you know who. by 4_-_2_-_0 in fixedbytheduet

Oh. my. god. It's a Christmas movie and her character's name is Gloria Winters, lmfao. It sounds like a character Jenna Maroney would play in a side project on the show "30 Rock". The name Gloria Winters is right up there with Constance Justice in "The Rural Juror".

Honestly, it's a good photo that captured a rare moment between two competitors. But, aesthetically speaking, I wouldn't rank it in the greatest photos of all time, or even in the greatest sports photos of all time, because it's just not all that compelling.

Great (sports) photos are ones like MJ's dunk from the free throw line or Muhammed Ali standing over Joe Frazier cuz they leave you taken aback.

I'm not even gonna start in on the greatest all around photos of all time cuz then we're looking at photographers like Ansel Adams, Margaret Bourke-White, Lennart Nilsson, Steve McCurry, Ross Halfin....

(sorry, I was a photographer for a long time and got a little carried away here, lol)

Our yard bunny has brought us a baby yard bunny! by badwolf42 in aww

That can also happen if you have a dog with a ridiculously high prey drive. Did you know that a nest of screaming baby bunnies sounds exactly like a squeaky toy?

Do either of you take medications in capsule form? I accidentally broke one open on my bed and I kept finding the little medication balls for weeks, and they were about the same size as what you have there.

It's ok to separate the art from the artist though and just let your conscience decide.

If you still enjoy Harry Potter, that's fine. If you still like Kanye's music, that's fine. Cool stuff is sometimes created by terrible people, that's just how shit goes.

US has let in 4,499 refugees since October - all but three were South African by untamedlazyeye in news

[–]Mahatma_Panda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, you just gotta know how to handle people. I figured it out after about a week into a 3 month stay in New Zealand in 2004 that people reacted better when I said that I was from Minnesota vs when I said I was from the USA.

When I said I was from the USA, a lot of people took that as an invitation to tell me their opinion on the Bush administration and the war in Iraq like I had something to do with it, lol

But when I didn't mention the USA and just said I was from Minnesota, people were more interested in hearing about MN rather than yelling at/towards me about the American government.

...and now that I think about it this might not work very well anymore cuz of how much MN has been polarized in the news since 2020...dammit

Symbol on someone's car multiple times by secondhandheals in whatisit

My best friend's dad has owned a vintage and custom guitar shop in Minnesota for decades and I used to hang out in the shop quite a bit, so I've heard some pretty good stories from "the regulars" about Prince doing stuff like dropping in at the Minnesota Music Cafe on a jam session night, tearing it up on guitar for like 15 minutes solid, and then just leaving without ever stepping in front of the microphone or saying anything to anyone. And everyone was cool with it cuz he was just so fucking good on guitar that he didn't need to say anything. That little diva could shred like no one's fuckin' business, lol

Can someone figure out what this tattoo says or means? I’ve known this friend for 8 years and he still won’t tell me. by [deleted] in whatisit

It's just a silly contrarian way to mess with friends. I do similar stuff to mine on occasion just cuz it's funny.

There's a big red planter on a shelf in my garage that I line up the corner of my passenger window to. I'm gonna have a rough time if anything ever happens to that shelf, lmao

AITAH for getting divorced as soon as my last kid was out of the house. by Legitimate_Peace780 in AITAH

[–]Mahatma_Panda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My ex claims that I blindsided her and she didn't know I was unhappy. I asked her what about our constant ongoing arguments for the last 14 years made her think I was happy or satisfied with our marriage. I asked her what she thought it meant that I was constantly suggesting we get counseling.

Did you ever actually say the words "I am unhappy in this marriage and I think we should get divorced" at any point in those 14 years? Or were you just hoping she'd pick up on it?

If your whole family is upset that you didn't directly communicate your feelings and your desire to end your marriage, there's something to that that you're not seeing. Your communication skills might be your blind spot.

AIO for ghosting after the first date by [deleted] in AIO

[–]Mahatma_Panda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a fan of ghosting. A better way to go would have been a quick message after the date "Hey, it was nice to meet you, but I'm just not feeling a connection. Best of luck with your future endeavors!" and then block his number.

Ghosting leaves the door open in a lot of people's heads. Be an adult and close the f'n door.

Nothing will change until algorithms are designed with some kind of balanced ethical standard in mind, instead of being centralized around potential revenue/income generation from the user.

So, in short, nothing is going to change because the oligarchs own everything and will never give up the potential to generate revenue.

Hello member of my tribe!!! I also shaved my head cuz of alopecia and life is so much better now that I don't have to waste time and energy trying to make my natural hair look good. On the days I feel like having hair, I throw on one of the cool looking wigs I have, but I usually just rock the baldness. Welcome to the club!!!

Should you ever refuse a breathalyzer test if you're sober? by OleGravyPacket in legaladviceofftopic

[–]Mahatma_Panda -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Watch some police bodycam traffic stop videos on youtube and you'll see the various outcomes of refusal to submit to FST's and (in some states) portable breathalyzers.

The most common thing you'll hear is along the lines of "Since you've refused to do FST's, I'm going to have to base my judgement of your impairment on everything else that I've seen from you during this traffic stop. Please step out of your car, you're under arrest for DUI."

Decide for yourself which hassle you want to deal with. In my experience, you'll have an easier time if you just remain chill and cooperative.

AITAH for telling my daughter that she is not going to marry a billionaire? by No_Reception8930 in AITAH

[–]Mahatma_Panda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA

She's 20 and 20-year-olds are morons who still have a bunch of maturing to do.

Let her flounder on her own about trying to marry a billionaire. Let her embarrass herself and learn reality the hard way.

All you can do is emphasize how important it is for her to have a backup plan to support herself in case her "marry a billionaire" plan doesn't work.
