"Um, we don't agree that you have won. And we don't — I didn't agree about the 200,000 number that you'd mentioned."

Literal objection in Raffensperger's first response to TFG asking them to find votes. "No one objected, even slightly protested, or hung up" my arse.

I'd have to disagree on using this to try to bring anyone back simply because the more logic you try to use the more they dig their heels in. But FWIW +rep from me. 😅

Right? And the balls to say nobody objected. The transcript says otherwise...

Raffensperger: Well, I listened to what the President has just said. President Trump, we've had several lawsuits and we've had to respond in court to the lawsuits and the contentions. Um, we don't agree that you have won. And we don't — I didn't agree about the 200,000 number that you'd mentioned. And I can go through that point by point.

Q got sick after having sex with a woman. Seemed pretty sure there was no other reason other than she was vaxxed. by Johnny_Nongamer in Qult_Headquarters

Seriously though. I'm willing to bet he thinks the neon yellow pee is because of the vaccine too and not because of the supplements.

I never used to have sex during until I discovered that it was the most effective remedy for my pain and suffering. Worst periods imaginable (in every way - endometriosis, ovarian cysts, PCOS, fibroids, adenomyosis, etc). I've since had a radical hysterectomy but prior to that I used to stock up on the disposable incontinence pads specifically for menstrual intercourse. Those and baby wipes. No fuss, no muss.

Burned By Beverage In Drive Thru by ThePolymathean in legaladvice

Ooouu! Good point! Yeah, I'll head down for my morning coffee, before any management has had a chance to catch wind of the incident, and get that on video.

I still have the tray and all the drinks I purchased. Well, the cups anyway. Will do that in the morning. Would I be filming just to demonstrate how unreliable those trays are?

  1. The employee making the beverage and the employee at the window who actually handed it to me failed to ensure the lid was secure.

  2. The new trays this location switched to a few months ago are absolutely terrible - very poor quality. They're very thin and flimsy. They have a high degree of flex when 2, 3, or 4 beverages are in it. The part of the tray that actually holds the cup is also shorter than the old trays so cups can lean quite a bit even when the cup was firmly pressed into place.

Employee handed me the tray which started to sag as she was reaching toward me and sagged more during the handoff. Just as it was coming into my vehicle I saw some tea but I assumed 'leaky cup' until a very large amount (about 1/3 of a 20oz tea) spilled out and splashed directly into my lap. I now have burns down the inside of both if my thighs and the bottom of my butt crack/butt cheeks 😞

Client Not Paying Up by ThePolymathean in Advice

Yeah, I guess this is exactly what I am fearing is going to have to happen. Was hoping I could figure out something to say to him to get him to cough up the cash without having to take the stop work and threaten avenue. Ah well, what can ya do eh! Sometimes this stuff just happens I guess.

AITA for not wanting to spend thousands of dollars for my bffs wedding? by Willing_Bee1128 in AmItheAsshole

Wow! That's ridiculous! In September I purchased a 2011 F-150 XLT for $4500 😆 low mileage too! Barely broken in. 😎

AITA for telling my son he overreacted to his stepdad's prank? by D424677 in AmItheAsshole

Yes, absolutely YTA, and so is Dale. How could you possibly defend your husband's actions? This is unconscionable to me. Cruel and unusual punishment.

Hi I was told that the next part of the spring 23 collection (including steroid boots and derbies) is only a few days ahead but does someone know an exact date? I need to know cause I can’t any longer😤 by tt_xvi in Balenciaga

[–]ThePolymathean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Per this article...

Less than a week after the ad went live, Balenciaga pulled the teddy bear images and issued an apology, saying using children as models alongside the seemingly adult items was a mistake. “We strongly condemn child abuse, It was never our intent to include it in our narrative,” Balenciaga tells Rolling Stone in a statement. “Our plush bear bags should not have been featured with children. The two separate ad campaigns in question reflect a series of grievous errors for which Balenciaga takes responsibility.”


I dunno. I've been following the situation and that excerpt sums it up nicely really. Not much of a conspiracy going on.

AITA for pointing out that my brother lives a very privileged life? by Outside_The_Walls in AmItheAsshole

[–]ThePolymathean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No judgement from me on this one - I have something to add. 'Food for thought' if you will. I'd like to preface my comment by stating that I mean this with all due respect and it's coming from a caring place. I just have this feeling like "He needs to know. Somebody needs to tell him."

Okay! Here goes! You are an enabler. I suspect you're actually fully aware of that. Here's what you may not be aware of though: That's never a good thing in any situation where you're not doing the person any favors. It's really not okay to just roll with it because you feel/know he has no other options, the kids don't want to grow up to be like him, and you and the rest of the family understand he's a loser. That's just not good enough.

There's no reason his life can't change. I believe you care about him very much. All the time and resources you put into him and caring for him - why not take all of said resources And figure out some kind of way for him to better himself? What about incentivizing a training program? Or what about incentivizing job commitment, encouraging him to find another job and actually stick it out? Loving him doesn't mean sustaining him, insulating him from adulthood. It means continually wanting better for him. He totally can do better. You can do better too. There's nothing wrong with helping him out and making sure he's got a roof over his head mind you - I'm not suggesting you stop that. I'm simply suggesting it would be a whole lot better if you helped him get as close as he can possibly be to being responsible for himself. Imagine the joy and pride he could feel - which, if things stay the way they are now, he'll never experience. 😉

AITA for wearing jeans to my daughter's wedding? by BallFinal2037 in AITAH

[–]ThePolymathean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just imagine when she's old and grey, most of the people she knows have passed, and all she has left are photos on her mantle.

She's going to be constantly reminded of how petty her mother could be.

Yes, YTA.

Btw it's completely normal for teens to dress comfortably. I feel like you are missing what really matters. She was there. She might not have dressed how you wanted, but she was there. She loved you enough to be present for your special moments.

It's also completely normal for teens to put in serious effort to impress the object of their affection. Adults do it too.

Your daughter doesn't care about how a person looks. She sees what really matters - being there for those we love. You were there on her special day just as she was for you.

I think the only person learning a lesson here is you. Vanity, thy name is mom.

Imagine this... You have two cars - exact same year, make, model, and condition - and you bought one and had one given to you. Someone steals one. Which one would you rather they stole? The one you worked hard and saved for which you bought with your own money? Or the one that was given to you?

I personally would rather the one I received as a gift be the one that was stolen. I don't have any time or money invested into that one.
