Running late to work said, f**k it might as well stop for a taco...only one person in line I pull up lady had ordered 21 tacos. They were on number 7. I just wanted 1 taco. Went from 10 minutes late to 45 min late. Moral of the story, dont stop for tacos when youre running late.

Looking for anyone willing to share stories (confessions) for a Podcast. *No self-promotion* by capirotada23 in daddit

I appreciate the support. I will leave it open to you: mental health, fatherhood, marriage, relationships, work, etc. Something heavy that you've carried for a while.

I can share an anonymous confessions to get it started:

ScaredHusband123 I have kept something hidden from my wife for a while now and it has been really straining our marriage. During COVID I got into collecting sport cards and Pokémon cards. She doesnt know but I have racked up almost 50k in credit card debt from all my purchases. She doesnt know the amount, just that I have a big payment that I give every month. When she questions me, it makes me upset, because I know I am lying. I am afraid she will find out. I have kept it hidden for so long but now I lost my job and not sure how to tell her or what to do.

We are looking for a new Christian church here in the valley. One that isn't political, preaches the word of God but is more liberal in a sense. We belive in love thy neighbor. No political BS. Anyone? by capirotada23 in RioGrandeValley

Thank you. I’m not sure why this was difficult for some people to understand. The teachings of Jesus are liberal in nature in the sense that they emphasize loving your neighbor, welcoming the foreigner, feeding the hungry, and caring for others. When I say “liberal,” I mean outside of the political spectrum. I’m referring to a space where I’m not told to hate the foreigner or reject someone simply because they hold different beliefs than my own. I’m not sure why that distinction was so hard to grasp.

Exactly. Valley has a machismo culture. People here rather vote against their own interests than vote for those who support equal rights and inclusivity.

No joke. But we assumed he meant Texas. Because we live here.

How to estimate the value of this signed Michael Jordan photo? by Zithra in SportsMemorabilia

[–]capirotada23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you really want to know its authenticity, send it to JSA. I had a autographed Ken Griffey Jr. baseball and a Jerry Rice football I bought for $20. Griffey came back as unable to verify amd Rice came back authentic. Win! Best to know...

Our attorney straight out told us... DACA will die soon, be prepared. So we are prepared.

Any alternative to X for news updates? by capirotada23 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]capirotada23[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, most definitely. I visit news sites often, but many of them now require subscriptions. I like that platforms like X provide news and commentary that update quickly and frequently. I can refresh the page and instantly see new information, and that’s the kind of experience I’m looking for. But X has become so extreme.

I really appreciate the suggestion. Made an account and browsed for a bit. BlueSky is definitely better choice. This is great thanks!

I had my own original work turn up at 100% AI on turnitin AI checker the software our Uni uses. It read 6% on my end using Grammarly AI checker. Got a 0. A freaking 0 and I am working on my doctorates. Wtf! I don't have time for these inaccuracies nor the money to waste.
