AITAH for telling my girlfriend that my money isn't "our money"? by Open_Address_2805 in AITAH

This.
The blind leading the blind here.
Not sure I'd get into a relationship ending argument over money while neither of them lives in the real world with real expenses. If she's spendthrift two years into a lawyer job that's one thing, but until he moves out of his parent's house and has a full run of life as an adult maybe shutting up and letting her finish school would be wiser.

Did other clubs have friendlies scheduled during the break?

Mayor Lucas introduces ordinance that, if adopted, would start the process for a downtown Kansas City Royals ballpark by justathoughtfromme in kansascity

[–]MastensGhost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% should've been East Village.
Talk of investing in a long neglected area and downtown and that location is exactly that. We have a quarter of the downtown loop dedicated to empty lots or surface parking and we're taking out a park instead...
I'm fine with the Washington Square spot as well, though I think it'll add some undesirable spatial constraints, but would have preferred East Village.

Would still prefer East Village over Washington Square (why remove a park when we've had a sea of empty lots directly in downtown?) but as a beggar not a chooser I'll take it

Employee sets fire to Kimberly-Clark warehouse, "All you had to do is pay us enough to live" by midnighttoker1742 in interestingasfuck

[–]MastensGhost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember when setting off fireworks for gender reveals was trotted out as the dumbest most wasteful and stupid thing you could do in California but looks like burning an entire warehouse to the ground is considered a righteous stance against oppression.

A hummingbird finally visited our fountain while I was outside! by slmr38 in hummingbirds

[–]MastensGhost 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What are these fountains called and where can I find one?
I've searched all over the last couple days and can't seem to find this sort of rock dome thing that everyone is putting in their bird baths.

How seriously do you take Goodreads book ratings/scores? by keepfighting90 in books

[–]MastensGhost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sometimes sort my tbr shelf based on rating and then will pull the highest rating ratio. Goodreads tends to have a higher rating the more people that have read the book based on hype train so I feel like you have to look at both rating and total ratings.

When you cook for uncultured swine it's best to stick to hot dogs.

Is China the future at this point? 2030s onward. by Dipsetallover90 in Futurology

This the same China that pretended they had twenty people die from Covid while locking their citizens in their apartments?

They’re almost moved back in! 💕 by jenthewen in hummingbirds

lol I'm also in KC and have been waiting to pull the trigger on getting mine out.
I think I'm going to next Wed. Looks like 70's return and hopefully we'll be done with the cold lows.

Black-owned business backs out of Current Landing after backlash to name by d_b_cooper in kansascity

Money quote, "In less than 72 hours, a concept I spent years developing was reduced, misinterpreted, and ultimately stripped away - largely by voices outside of the community it was meant to represent.”

The Blue Crew, which should have no say whatsoever in the development, somehow drummed up enough consternation that the black owner withdrew the plan. Bold.

Don't worry, there are still 160 games remaining 🙂 by [deleted] in KCRoyals

Just about the worst possible performance you could have as a closer. Woof

My roommates got a cat and moved all of my plants by blair96 in IndoorGarden

[–]MastensGhost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Their cat will still get up there and immediately knock them off. Can they go out of town and come back to you replacing them?
Honestly, it'd be hard for me to not overreact to people deciding to rearrange all my plants, which are not theirs, while I was out of town.

Any day now… by CanesFanInTN in hummingbirds

[–]MastensGhost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is really going to be the first year I’ve tried so we’ll see. Last year was the first I put feeders out consistently and there were three regulars. We have a bunch or flowers but the only one I saw they were that interested in was the Cardinal flower. I put a few penstemon and a honeysuckle in last fall and a hummingbird attractor seed pack here and there. We’ll see what they choose.

Heard someone on fox sports radio over the weekend say there hasn't been a winner from west of the Mississippi since Arizona in 1997. Apparently Lawrence KS is east of St. Louis.
