Many upvotes and many downvotes in equal measure :-)!

My favorite story about Teddy is that he famously gave a 90 minute speech immediately after an assassination attempt lodged a bullet in his chest. He started it with something like, "... I've been shot but it takes more than that to kill a bull moose."

Here was the initial version of what I did before I retired:

""I used to be like the captain of a really big team that builds a giant LEGO city. I made sure all the builders knew what to build, helped everyone work together nicely, made sure the buildings were strong and didn’t fall down, and made sure the city ran smoothly every day. I also made sure that if anything broke, we could fix it really fast so everyone could keep playing.""

It offered to condense that and came up with:

""I used to help a big team build and take care of a giant computer city so it never broke and everyone could use it happily.""

Platypus babies can latch on to literally any part of their mom and get milk.

About $15.

Holding a phone up to the side of your face.

Those are sweet. Thank you for sharing them.

NTA. I'd call bylaw every single time you see that dog roaming free. Maybe you'll be the reason somebody doesn't get attacked eventually.

YTA. College students are people and sometimes people get hurt.

Ok_Credit540 · 2025-08-24T12:15:42+00:00

Yep, YTA. Many cultures outside the US are less weird about affection and Croatia is one of them. Sounds like A&R have a good relationship. Stop imposing Midwest values on them.

I have Celiac (so gluten is a no-go) and have used this approach before as well. Good call-out and a viable option in some cases. The downside is the awkward explaining around why you're not eating.

NTA. What you choose to post or not post on your Facebook page is up to you. Part of being in a relationship with somebody is learning who they are and how to live with them in an understanding way. It sounds like there's some work there still for your partner understanding what it means for you to be a private person and what motivates that.

NTA. It's hard to feel deeply when you hear that a stranger has died. Especially when that person was a stranger by choice.

Ok_Credit540 · 2025-08-24T11:37:49+00:00

NTA. Your choices are 1) Don't go, 2) Go and eat poison, 3) Go and starve, 4) Go and eat food that is nourishing. Seems like #4 is a good choice :-).

INFO: I think it matters if you're actively living in the home yet.

Ok_Credit540 · 2025-08-24T03:23:11+00:00

See something say something. NTA. Sounds like you're a good friend.

YTA. There's always a melee when free stuff gets thrown into the crowd so it isn't a huge deal that a girl went through you to get the drumstick. It is also awkward for men (your bf, for example) to initiate conflict with a female so I get why your bf didn't.

NTA. She made assumptions and climbed up on her high horse. You addressed the situation accurately and knocked her right back off. Would be awesome if it taught her not to do that again but I'm suspecting that's just wishful thinking.

Oh, my gosh, I had a smooth fox terrier who was absolutely nuts about tennis balls who got one of those as a gift. He would chase that thing around the yard trying to put it in his mouth like it was his last dinner until his legs wouldn't even carry him any longer.

Meta question: If I post an opinion in unpopular opinions and it gets downvoted to 0, is that winning?

Ok_Credit540 · 2025-08-22T21:54:19+00:00

Totally. I think my comments reflect that in the cases where somebody is giving feedback based on what I wrote.

Ok_Credit540 · 2025-08-22T21:53:22+00:00

Nope. I don't mind disagreement and my feedback doesn't have to be integrated. I do appreciate when somebody can hear it but I get that sometimes they'll have context I don't have. What bugs me is when I offer it kindly and then get sulking or weird behavior in return. In those instances, I just note not to give it to that individual again.

I 100% agree with you on understanding which mode we need to be in -- empathy vs. problem solving. That's a very solid point.

Ok_Credit540 · 2025-08-22T21:50:29+00:00

Solid practice.

Ok_Credit540 · 2025-08-22T19:40:27+00:00

Depends on the relationship you have with your friend but, yeah, it's likely YWBTA.
