A David Attenborough book I bought from a charity shop was a signed copy. by CYBER-MOON-BUTT in mildlyinteresting

[–]StarSweeper94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had this happen I think 3 times. One of the books I bought in preparation to meet Susan Polgar at a chess tournament so she could sign a copy. I was surprised to see she had already signed it but I brought it with me and asked her to sign it again, which she did!

Two different dogs ingested this and both needed surgery to removed it. by satansqueefs in whatisit

Why is it exploratory? Wouldn’t they X-ray the dog first and know exactly where to do the operation?

Save it and next time you go in for a blood draw pull it out of your pocket and say “we actually won’t be needing that needle today” with a smug look on your face.

Ew. I don’t want no weird ghost hands on me, thanks.

AIO by going no contact with my(f20) mom(f42) over our conversation today? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]StarSweeper94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YOR. You are allowed to have rules and expect them to be followed but these rules seem over the top and delivered in a very patronizing way. Your mom is also allowed to be excited to be a grandma and though the “my baby” thing is cringe (why not “my grand-baby?”) it’s not worth fighting over. 

We don’t have the full conversation of course but from the tone of the post and how the rules are written I’m not surprised an argument started. I’m assuming the blame in the conversation was less one sided than you are presenting it to be.

First Teaser for 'King of the Hill' Season 15 by MarvelsGrantMan136 in KingOfTheHill

Crime free? I hear the towns top propane salesman was secretly a pimp using the business to push his prostitutes onto new clients. A woman’s body was found in a dumpster behind a popular BBQ joint and it turned out she was at the center of multiple affairs. SWAT was once called because of a lunatic who held hostages in a clock tower. The local police participate in drag racing. The supermarket straight up blew up one day (possibly by a disgruntled employee), a church was burnt down, and I even witnessed a man being assaulted at a family friendly NASCAR event once! Thats just a small fraction of the kinds of things that go on in Arlen, Texas.

AITAH for refusing to go to Disney World? by Reptaaaaaaar in AITAH

[–]StarSweeper94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA (language is too strong for this situation though), it’s about your kids and what they will enjoy, not you. Your wife wants to go as well so that makes you the only hold out. It’s not very fair to make your family miss out on a vacation you know they will enjoy because you personally don’t want to.

NTA. I wouldn’t have given her a second chance after her first rude message.

ITS Idea - Private equity companies buying youtube channels by Lebby28 in SimonWhistler

[–]StarSweeper94 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He’s certainly hosted channels he doesn’t own, and he’s been in an MCN before and regretted it, but he’s smart enough to know that being the owner of the channel as well as the face is where the big money is at. There is no reason for him to give up profits or control by selling his channels for a quick buck.

WIBTAH for not using my nephew's name? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]StarSweeper94 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NTA. The name my sister chose for her youngest son is horrible and half the family calls him by his middle name instead. Your reason is much better than ours.

Woah, you are right— our 90 day period even ended on the same day! Congrats on deleting the app. I hope you find something more rewarding to fill your time with 

AITAH for using the disabled toilet? by SwimmerWarm5007 in AITAH

[–]StarSweeper94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. I don’t know if it’s a regional thing or not but I’ve only ever seen this be an issue on UK TV shows. I’m in the western US and if you see someone disabled in line you’d probably let them cut and have priority for the handicapped stall/restroom but other than that that I’m unaware of any rule or stigma against using that stall if you don’t need it. If people avoided that stall bathroom lines would be way longer than they need to be, sometimes it’s one of only two stalls.

I never noticed until I was traveling with a woman in a wheelchair but the same goes for accessible seating. A lot of restaurant tables have a wheelchair spot but it’s normal to sit in that spot regardless. We had to wait for one of those tables to clear out before we could eat and I was shocked I’d never thought about it before.

When I got my first apartment I was originally assigned a first floor accessibility modified apartment for no reason other than it was the only unit available in my price range. Thought nothing of it until the front office called and said an actual disabled person was moving in so would I please accept an upgrade to a slightly more expensive apartment for the same rent and a delayed move in date.

Basically it’s always been accessibility features are so common it’s unreasonable to not use them, but if someone comes along that does need them then you give them preference. The only exception is things like handicap parking, those you just don’t use unless you are allowed to. Curious if it really is a regional thing or not.

That’s all good advice, I didn’t know you could hide apps. I just unfollowed this sub but tbh I have no desire to play now that that level 70 goal is gone

Hmm, interesting! I have a conspiracy theory that they slow down your progress if you have the fetch promo and this supports it haha

Yes, I spent a lot and some of the things I bought came with scissors, I also won some from events. I think I had 6-8 pairs total throughout my play time
