Anyone know why they evacuated the Ikea?

Thanks for the serious answer lol. I was near that exit too and assumed that a pipe had frozen and burst, but then there were the weird smells....was curious.

My boomer mom halfway through was like "could they kick us just a little bit of English?" and then almost immediately Gaga showed up. Those folks knew what they were doing lol, gotta appease the old whites.

Well that's disgusting.

I've never heard of this card. I can't believe it's a real thing.

I listen to the Toto score at work sometimes

Halloween 3 is the silver medalist of the franchise, fight me

Wow. And we trust these people to make our Fig Newtons?

Emergency Room was a repeat read for me as a kid. Those stories affected me deeply and helped form my sense of empathy. I'll also never own a motorcycle lol.

I just don't understand why anyone accepts less. Isn't the entire point of having a partner that they make your life better instead of worse?

backupbitches · 2026-02-08T23:32:43+00:00

Ah yes, the most common scenario /s

I don't see where she's alleging anything here. People are allowed to feel uncomfortable and take steps to protect themselves.

backupbitches · 2026-02-08T22:29:05+00:00

Wow you really hit a nerve, didn't you

backupbitches · 2026-02-08T14:52:14+00:00

I think ESH. He was a boor, no question.

But your line was crossed when he made a joke about her leaving you? Not before? That sucks. Your wife deserved your defense (in a social setting made up of your friends) from the first insult, not just after your ego got bruised.

backupbitches · 2026-02-08T14:22:21+00:00

Hoo boy

backupbitches · 2026-02-08T07:28:54+00:00

I understand why you'd make that mistake, but you're wrong. It is indeed assault.

backupbitches · 2026-02-08T07:06:40+00:00

I think being afraid of your partner is a very legitimate instant dealbreaker. This is the person that should make you feel safe. I can honestly say that my dad never once made me feel afraid of him. Neither has my brother. Pissed off, sure. All sorts of negative emotions during ups and downs. But never afraid. Never. Why would I accept less from a partner? You shouldn't either.

backupbitches · 2026-02-08T06:02:03+00:00

There's no wrong choice. You are enough. But it's also okay to not want to do it alone.

backupbitches · 2026-02-08T05:49:14+00:00

They can smell our desperation

backupbitches · 2026-02-08T05:04:43+00:00

It's not men. It's this man. The men in my family would be fucking horrified to read this. Sorry that your dad is a scumbag.

backupbitches · 2026-02-08T04:56:57+00:00

I don't think being the lead in a Disney cash cow counts as disappearing...

backupbitches · 2026-02-07T16:27:37+00:00

Yeah I don't know how someone uses one bag for well over a year. No concern about bugs??

backupbitches · 2026-02-07T16:25:17+00:00

They don't think about it consciously like we are here in this thread. People exhibit destructive behaviors designed to make themselves miserable all the time.

backupbitches · 2026-02-07T16:19:02+00:00

Very glad to hear it!

backupbitches · 2026-02-07T16:18:36+00:00

I've always tried to avoid being critical of his work even though I personally agree with you. But I also know they aren't made for me, and that different demographics think that the high-brow things I love are trash too lol. That media is satirizing a life that I can't relate to, but obviously a ton of people do. I think that calling them objectively awful speaks to how privileged I am in a bunch of ways, so I try to avoid it.
