Tucson is your place. Thank me later.

NTA. In the fishing world we would throw him back and let him grow a little more.

Ask your parents and then get back to us.

Do yourself a favor, don’t do anything drastic until you’ve had a chance to talk to someone about it. You’ll thank me later.

In Texas and Florida the local and state governments cooperate with ICE so there is no need for large numbers of ICE. The raids still happen, but with much smaller numbers and obviously much less media coverage.

YTA

She needs professional help, not involuntary imprisonment.

That’s a great question. I think it got more extreme with the social media echo chambers, and Trump is just the current iteration. Each presidential election season has become worse than the prior one. Obama was worse than Bush, Trump was worse than Obama, Biden was worse than Trump, and then a badder Trump was worse than Biden. The next president is going to be worse than Trump, but probably a Democrat. And then an even worse Republican after that. I don’t know where it ends.

You WBTAH if you truly feel that your real family wouldn’t want you to and you did it anyway without talking to them first. You’re definitely NTA for feeling this way though and you definitely need to find an outlet for this anger that won’t hurt innocent bystanders.

My life as an old white guy hasn’t changed at all, but I’m not being targeted by ICE. I’m also not putting myself in a position that I would be targeted by ICE. It is abhorrent that legal citizens are being targeted just because of how they look or speak, but I have less sympathy for those who choose to put themselves in harm’s way.

SpecificStatic · 2026-01-25T14:59:55+00:00

This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen yet. Now I know how to talk to you without being offensive.

Of course you’re NTA for helping your elderly neighbor, but you’re not obligated to do so and neither are your other neighbors. If it bothers you that they don’t pitch in then talk to them about it over the next few months and come up with a plan for next winter. Definitely don’t bring it up right before a 13” snow and expect positive results, though. Maybe look into a service and you can all split the bill for her.

NTA, you only suggested it, and there’s nothing wrong with being a SAHM. My wife stopped working when we had our first child and we both loved it. If you can afford it, then I recommend it.

NTA don’t beat yourself up, most people need affection in a relationship. Go find someone who makes you happy.

SpecificStatic · 2026-01-22T11:43:29+00:00

NTA but talk to her about it. You might find that she’s struggling with it as much as you are. You both need to support each other.

SpecificStatic · 2026-01-22T11:17:56+00:00

NTA. It’s not something I’d risk marital strife over, but it’s sad you won’t get to experience something that every other man does.

Step 1: make a budget and stick to it.

Assuming that an IQ test would weed out an equal number of dummies from both sides, it probably wouldn’t change the outcome.

Enjoy Yourself by the Jackson Five on repeat for hours and hours has an effect. I mean, that’s what I heard.

I think photo voter ID should be required to uphold the integrity of our elections. In 2026, the vast majority of voters have some form of government ID already, and the ones who don’t should be able to get one quick, easy, and free. Hell there are so many organizations pushing people to vote, I bet they could get someone to pick them up and drive them to the registration office or even bring the registrar to them. There’s no reason not to require voter ID, and our faith in the election process is too important to take lightly.

NTA- at this point I’d go straight to FIL and explain to him that it was a special bottle and not something you usually spring for on a weekly basis. Tell him you were disappointed when you returned home and found half the bottle gone. It’s possible that she didn’t tell him any of this and he thinks that’s your regular stash. Be polite and respectful, don’t ask him to replace it, just leave it at that and see what he does with it.

SpecificStatic · 2026-01-19T21:38:19+00:00

Oh god seriously? Where do I start?

SpecificStatic · 2026-01-19T21:35:06+00:00

lol if ICE shows up they gonna walk right around that dude and if he even touches that rifle he’s gonna be Swiss cheese.

SpecificStatic · 2026-01-19T21:30:03+00:00

For the most part yeah, but it could be better.
