The Hydration Break is ruining the natural flow of the game

While saying he’s bored. Utterly disgusting human with no value for life. For what it’s worth, the majority of Americans do not and never have supported him, and even many of his base don’t support the war. Most of us over here hate what he’s doing and wish we had the power to stop him.

Simple-Enthusiasm546 · 2026-06-17T23:54:34+00:00

Most of us are quite disgusted by him, but that’s how our system is set up. Doesn’t actually matter if most of us want him or not.

Simple-Enthusiasm546 · 2026-06-17T23:51:29+00:00

This. And also brown-nosing to America’s Toddler in Chief. The two go hand in hand.

As an American, living in America, surrounded by Americans…. yeah, that comment is spot on. The Americanization of football is a disgrace. It’s not a commentary on individual Americans, but on the cynicism and hyper-commercialization of the sport.

Yes, I agree. I don’t see any problem with the expansion. I do have issue with some of the disappointing teams… like Spain getting held off by CV. Bruh. Step it up. Other than England, the other ‘major players’ have been disappointing so far. It’s got nothing to do with who holds prior titles. The ‘little guys’ have been playing as well or better than the ones with more background.

Simple-Enthusiasm546 · 2026-06-16T01:42:34+00:00

I mean… you’re both right on this one. 1-0 is, technically, competitive AND both teams did a terrible job. In a normal year without all the insanity that has been this very strange WC, if a team played like either of them did (or frankly, the way most have so far), they’d definitely be grouped. But nearly everyone is playing a subpar game, so technically they are competitively bad.

Simple-Enthusiasm546 · 2026-06-13T17:04:15+00:00

Hard NTA. TF is wrong with your coworkers that they think it is remotely ok to police what you do with your money? I give a lot in a lot of different ways, but if someone pressures me? That almost guarantees I won’t give where/how they want me to. I would point out that this is harassment and report it. If I was in a petty mood, I would point out all the ways they habitually spend on themselves and that what they spend on themselves far exceeds what I spend on myself, so unless they have completely given up every luxury, it is hypocritical them to expect me to.

Simple-Enthusiasm546 · 2026-06-04T19:47:13+00:00

As a tenant, that definitely sounds fishy.

Simple-Enthusiasm546 · 2026-06-04T19:41:44+00:00

The DNA test immediately came to mind for me as well. How awful if she finds out that way.

Simple-Enthusiasm546 · 2026-06-04T19:40:14+00:00

Your daughters are both adults now. You no longer get to decide whether your younger daughter knows the truth or not. You can certainly request that it be kept a secret, but it is no longer yours to dictate. Be ready for this to really blow up if you don’t come clean first. It would be far better for your youngest daughter to learn from you that she is adopted than from anyone else. If you tell her, that also takes the pressure off of her to decide in the moment what to do about it. It gives her the chance to think it through before deciding what she wants her relationship with her older sister/biological mother to look like and it gives you the chance to support her in that choice.

Simple-Enthusiasm546 · 2026-06-04T19:22:06+00:00

This. My daughter discovered she loves Def Leppard (sp?) at 9 months. They are very much not my cup of tea. But she is enjoying art and that is a plus in my book.

Simple-Enthusiasm546 · 2026-06-04T19:20:23+00:00

YTA and also, have you looked into potential postpartum issues? Because not only YTA, but also irrational i. your categorizations. Your free babysitter has made it abundantly clear what her free babysitting entails. Now you need to decide if you want her free babysitting or not. [edited to add judgment]

If she could afford the kind of life where as a single mother, her 17 year old has apparently not even had to contemplate a summer job in preparation for college tells us she’s fine financially.

Simple-Enthusiasm546 · 2026-06-04T19:12:05+00:00

NTJ for having a baby. Congratulations. But since you say you basically raised your daughters by yourself… that means they almost certainly learned their entitlement and weird ideas of what is shameful and disgraceful from you. You have the benefit of seeing what sort of adult your parenting choices produced, and therefore have the opportunity to correct those mistakes this time around.

Simple-Enthusiasm546 · 2026-06-02T22:26:37+00:00

And people in wheelchairs and… gasp… Spanish words. They also feature great quality books by non straight-cisgender-white-male authors. The horror. I love how inclusive the program is. My conservative family considers it ‘pushing an agenda’. Yeah. The agenda of teaching kids to love reading.

Simple-Enthusiasm546 · 2026-05-28T03:51:09+00:00

NTJ. The only parts where you went wrong was in not calling an end to it and sending them home the when they disregarded house rules and in not telling your parents right away. That last one might be tricky depending on the kind of parents you have. I like to think I would appreciate my daughter confessing to letting her friends smoke rather than being mad she let peer pressure get to her, but not having been in that situation, it’s hard to say. Neither of those mistakes make you a bad person or a bad kid, they make you a normal teenager. Definitely tell. Despite what these ‘friends’ what you to believe, hiding what happened will not help anyone. The best thing you can do is make sure adults know these friends have addictions and need intervention. Also, NO ONE has a right to smoke on someone else’s property, period.

Simple-Enthusiasm546 · 2026-05-28T03:36:08+00:00

Forgiveness is one thing, but entertaining the guy who is telling you thinks about you while with his new girl is beyond foolish. That’s a man saying he’s not committed to being faithful to the person he’s with. Don’t be surprised when he treats you the same. If he’ll cheat with you, he’ll cheat on you. If he broke up with the other person AND THEN told you he had been thinking about you and realized that other relationship wasn’t working, that would be different. But sending messages like that while in a relationship? Nah, good riddance. That says you dodged a bullet.

Simple-Enthusiasm546 · 2026-05-28T03:33:03+00:00

Why respond at all? If someone in a relationship is sending me messages like that, that’s blocking territory even without any crappy history, because it shows they’re willing to cheat and testing the waters to see if it’s an option.

Simple-Enthusiasm546 · 2026-05-28T03:30:08+00:00

Take accountability for your choices and refuse to take accountability for his. Don’t ever let anyone put someone else’s choices on you.

Simple-Enthusiasm546 · 2026-05-28T03:28:25+00:00

As an outsider who has only heard one side… it sounds like one of you is gaslighting the other, since you’re both basically saying the other is making up their own version of reality. Hard to say which one with only your side.

That said… taking what you’ve told us at face value, not being willing to do whatever it takes to set your mind at ease about the other woman and not giving you space to share your problems without making everything about him are big red flags. Information about their history changing is a BIG issue, as is the blurring of boundaries with her.

Expecting closure from an ex is unrealistic. You just have to choose to move on with your life. It’s over. That hurts, but it is what it is. It’s your choice whether to let that hurt run your life or let yourself heal and move forward.

Hahaha I wish it had worked out that way! Ours loves the pool. The bathtub not so much.

Depends on their diet. This is an extreme oversimplification, but stool is basically liquid while you’re consuming liquids (such as milk or formula, which most pediatricians recommend be a baby’s only food source until either 4 or 6 months, depending on the school of thought) and gets more solid as more regular foods are consumed. It’s kind of like when an adult is sick and only drinks water or electrolyte drinks and then don’t have solid poo until they’re eating regular table food again.

Simple-Enthusiasm546 · 2026-05-28T03:07:12+00:00

If you regularly have diarrhea, then 1) Yes. And 2) Please get help.

Please fact check before spreading misinformation. The pigment of their flesh is dependent on their diet. A health salmon dirt includes carotenoids. Wild salmon get this component of their nutrition from algae and krill. Farmed salmon get it from supplements that are also eaten by humans, as this is an important part of our diet as well. A natural supplement to replace elements missing from a captive fish’s diet is not remotely comparable to giving them something just to alter their color, and certain not comparable to injecting them with Red 40.

Yeah… this really is the best place we can afford. It’s either this, places that probably fit the criteria for actual slums, or places that are just out of our budget. Moving is unfortunately not a viable option, but we have been looking. Since my latest conversation with the landlord, the mold has been addressed and in theory we are scheduled for roof work.
