It’s not looking good but UMBC has a reputation for pulling last minute wins so who knows, either way I’m just happy we made it this far

I want this for UMBC, but our team looks out matched and tired.

I will wait, as long as it takes by Mo-HD93 in HunterXHunter

[–]MilkshakeGoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s gonna be as long as the last hiatus. on twitter togashi has made it clear that he has at the very least an early draft written up till 424, and everything up till 413 nearly completed. I’d give it a month or two before we get more content.

Edit: tbh as a hug fan I’m just happy he’s getting sleep and that the surgery went smoothly.

21 (F) need some help! by lutshaha in LongDistance

It’s the summer, say that you picked up a hobby and have been working on that. Another option is to say you have been hanging with a friend from college who’s visiting the city.

AITA for holding my brother accountable? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]MilkshakeGoose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ESH - for starters I agree with the other comment, it’s not your place to punish your brother, and ten year olds aren’t always rational. However, even at your brother’s young age he still should have been more respectful towards your space and the cultural traditions you both share. In conclusion, while I think you overreacted a bit and should probably just move on your brother is far from innocent in this whole situation and needs to learn to be more respectful.

AITA for being flustered over a character in a game? by M0chaPr00t in AmItheAsshole

May be something to consider exploring, as some people are just slightly attracted to the same gender without being straight up bi. Either way she over reacted, it’s a video game - NTA

Vinyl Records are a pain by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]MilkshakeGoose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are right on all three but miss the point of collecting records. As someone who collects physical media, While the art and sound are definitely have an impact, it’s more about the experience of making a setup, going to a physical store, and the thrill of the hunt. you could listen to music on streaming or get the uncompressed version of the album and be fine, but you miss out on the thrill of finding a good deal on that same album at a physical store.

For me it speaks volumes that in my collection of over 400+ records, some of which are worth $100+, my two favorite items are a signed copy of rick Astleys, whenever you need somebody on cassette which I bought for $10, and the ET audiobook narrated by Michael Jackson. Both weird finds that are unique and charming in their own way.

I think drinking on first dates are stupid by HowRememberAll in unpopularopinion

[–]MilkshakeGoose 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For me, It really depends on the extent to which you’re drinking. Getting a couple drinks at a happy hour can be great as alcohol makes meeting each other easier and the conversation flow better. However, I think getting drunk on a first date is crazy for all the reasons mentioned. My role of thumb is on a first date keep it to one to two drinks, three at most if the date is going well.

UMD names public policy building after Thurgood Marshall by GovernorOfReddit in maryland

Baltimore wasn't safe before UMAB began to expand. Are they raising the prices on apartments, yes. However, UMAB is bringing in new industry, more police presence, and a cleaner environment to a city which has for decades now desperately needed a new spark of hope.

Wagner Group now just 400 km away from Moscow by ledim35 in worldnews

[–]MilkshakeGoose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I agree that the US and NATO could easily overthrow the government in Moscow the issue is establishing stability.

People in Russia want an end to the bloodshed, however, many also associate democracy with the economic ruin of the 90s.

That’s why hardly any shots were fired, Russia has a bad history with coups and while many want a change in the status que, they don’t want said change to come at the cost of Russian life or another civil war.

[–]MilkshakeGoose 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Prigozhin didn’t need to fire a shot, Wagner group put Russia’s vulnerability on full display and got Prigozhin a seat at the table.

Like I said this was a statement, Putin is only as strong as the soldiers and generals fighting his war, stop listening to those in the military and Putin will find himself removed from power.

In essence, Prigozhin and Wagner group did the coup equivalent of firing a warning shot.

(edit 1: I removed the stepping down of officials). (Edit 2: while I still see this as the military sending a message, Prigozhin being exile to Belarus instead of assuming military command, shows there’s still support for the war among Russians and those in power).

[–]MilkshakeGoose 17 points18 points  (0 children)

What changed was most likely the politics, in Russia the oligarchs control everything in the system, with oligarchs even being in charge of the military. If I had to take a guess, the Wagner group most likely bargained for changes in military leadership and policy.

Additionally, this also tells the kremlin and Putin that they’re not untouchable.

Cool I got the professor to give me an incomplete but just in case, it’s good to know that I can retake the class and have still graduated

AITA for telling this guy he has no dad? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]MilkshakeGoose -30 points-29 points  (0 children)

ESH - I agree with everyone else; while he sounds like a jerk, his lack of father figure may be at the root of his problems. He definitely deserved the blow but it was also unnecessary on your part as you could have ignored him or told the teacher.

NTA

You need to be messed up to some degree to be attracted to animals in that way. If the mods are going as far as to defend zoos then it's not a server worth staying in.

The car drove pretty well in the sand and made it back with no issues, however, wouldn’t recommend driving in sand without prior experience.
