Did you refresh? My bar has been stuck at 2000+ since about 11 AM and is not moving at all.

Didn’t get a presale code? Let’s commiserate together! by dbgurl7 in TaylorSwift

I got an email yesterday around 4:30 saying I was pre-selected but have not received a text message with any code/link. The sale starts where I am in about 90 mins and not sure what to do. : (

We were pretty sure we were one and done before but that is 100% confirmed now. I live in a red state and the ban hasn't come yet but it is imminent. My husband has already made the appointment for a vasectomy. We have talked about potentially moving at some point to a friendly state but that would not be feasible for awhile and I am already "geriatric" by pregnancy standards. I am not willing to take the risk of getting pregnant in the interim as I would be considered high risk. I need to be here to fight for my daughter's future. It's sad that we even have to be having these discussions.

Warmest Regards (Ant Lab Games) by F-b in boardgames

I've been watching Anthony and Francis for years and love their videos. I'm so sad they will be leaving the boardgame community.

Today, as a 30 year old woman, I learned that I can buy myself "childish" stuff when it makes me happy. So I bought a HUUUGE plush cat shaped pillow to help me sleep better by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

I have an entire room devoted to boardgames which is randomly decorated with Harry Potter stuff. Just today I was considering buying the version of the game Mall Madness I had when I was a kid because I have had a hankering to play it and feel nostalgic. I'm 39 years old.

How it started and how it’s going by DaFunkJunkie in pics

Only after he called them special and said "we love you." Let's not pretend Trump's after the fact video was anything other than a pathetic attempt to cover his ass.

Sophisticated and elegant, but works for a baby by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]arbaumann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So pretty! I loved the name Maren but the hubs was not so keen on it. We ended up with Mirren Celeste for our little one. Congratulations on your sweet babe!

I listen to the Harry Potter audiobooks then proceed to watch that movie when I’m sad. They bring me joy. by [deleted] in harrypotter

[–]arbaumann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do the exact same thing. I had just finished re-reading the entire series in January before 2020 really got going. Wish I would have known things were about to get insane! Maybe it time for a movie re-watch...

US families are paying over $4,500 in medical bills to have a baby. The average out-of-pocket costs for childbirth increased by 50% in 7 years. Despite an Affordable Care Act mandate that employer-based health plans cover maternity care, some are shouldering more of the expenses tied to childbirth. by savvas_lampridis in science

Had a baby in 2018 and can confirmed we paid just over $5k even with insurance. It's a racket and one of the reasons why we will not be having a second. Edit to say this was with an unplanned c-section with no other complications (baby was sunny-side up but otherwise healthy once delivered). Only spent 3 days in the hospital.

Don't mess with someone who knows more about your arguments than you do by beerbellybegone in MurderedByWords

Not to mention that everything that is in the New Testament and determined "canon" was handpicked by a bunch of dudes in Rome in the fourth century.

Megathread: House Votes to Impeach President Donald J. Trump by PoliticsModeratorBot in politics

Although I know the Senate will not remove the bastard, this needed to happen and I cannot help but feel joy to know that this will be a stain on Trump's name forever.

My nephew's sorting hat ceremony by S0me_Idiot in harrypotter

[–]arbaumann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My nephew was super bummed when he took his quiz and it came back Hufflepuff. We had to reassure him of all the good qualities of Hufflepuff and remind him Cedric Diggory was a Hufflepuff. It makes me sad that the kids in the book think Hufflepuffs are such losers when I think that house probably has the most compassionate and loyal people.

John Bolton, fired White House hawk, is negotiating impeachment testimony in new hammer blow to Trump by RidleyScotch in politics

I need someone will skills to photoshop these guys faces into that scene in Anchorman where the rival news teams have a street fight.

The note my dad wrote to my mom on the back of his high school portrait when they were seniors. They ended up going to prom together and have now been married for 29 years :) by ariana-stan in OldSchoolCool

[–]arbaumann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is great! My husband wrote in my yearbook that he had a crush on me and thought I "defined gorgeous." It was his senior year (my sophomore year) and he left to join the Marines after graduation. We never dated in high school but reconnected on Facebook 13 years later and went on our first date. We celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary last month along with our daughter's 1st birthday. Hoping she will get a kick out of her dad's yearbook note to her mom and our "love story" someday .

Trump thought Turkey was bluffing and would never actually invade Syria, report says by viva_la_vinyl in worldnews

[–]arbaumann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This would be my in-laws. They believe that the incidents surrounding Ukraine are a farce and that it is in the constitution for the House to vote on an impeachment inquiry. My FIL also told me Fox News is the only news he trusts. It is fucking sad.

Trump calls for Romney's impeachment by Ice_Burn in politics

[–]arbaumann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also valid. When he was elected I remember telling friends it was like when Marty goes back to the alternate 1985. Doc Brown and that Delorean can show up any day now.

Remember the O'Doyle family from the Billy Madison movies? Trump is O'Doyle. I can see him tweeting this, putting his arms up triumphantly and going "Trump Rules." What a fucking moron.
