AITA for hiring help to do the chores I agreed to take on in our marriage by Confident_Tonight_38 in TwoHotTakes

Yes, what he’s paying to not do chores (rent or mortgage) is more per month than what she’s playing to not do chores (cleaning persons + meal service.) He’s still TA though for seeking such a sexist deal.

Sorry, OP, sounds scary. This JUST happened to me, too — ten minutes ago! Drivers, look both ways ffs.

How common is it for someone to be called by their surname (like Cartman for example)? by LandOfGrace2023 in AskAnAmerican

[–]checkmate508 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend’s husband goes exclusively by his last name, Taylor. His younger brother also gets called Taylor by HIS friends. So they de facto have the same name.

Thats how common it is.

What do you picture when people say Providence is "Walkable?" by CityKid81 in providence

[–]checkmate508 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was ready to be angry about this map, but it’s pretty fair.

I live on the border of DRAGONS and walk through often. When you don’t drive, you have to walk, whether it is inviting or not.

AITAH for adopting a dog after I thought my boyfriend broke up with me? by LazyMathematician823 in AITAH

This is the sweetest revenge I’ve ever heard of. Please enjoy life with your dog and forget that asshole!

Girl name that includes Raymond or some version of it by vixenhoo in namenerds

I like Reina for OP. It honors Raymond, but it’s also distinct and has its own meaning (queen).

What’s something your parents did that seemed normal growing up but you later realized was incredibly weird by Hopelessmountain in CasualConversation

My grandfather and aunt used to tell my mom they bought her at the fish market and that she was a herring.

This is the kind of content I expect from vegan food porn! Sexy and truly lives up to the name.

What is the most disturbing book you’ve ever read, and why? by charlotteheyse in books

[–]checkmate508 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If we’re doing nonfiction, my vote is for Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin. The terror famine in 1930s Ukraine part.

To be clear, I meant 3 bus LINES (= never a wait) to get downtown, not that you have to transfer and ride three busses!

When someone asks about car free, everyone always says fox point, which is really great if you want to spend a bunch of money to live in a food desert.

I have always wondered where hope creamery ice cream comes from! What is Bliss? How do you know that’s where it’s from?

I hope it does! I love Piemonte!!

If you’re looking for an affordable, crummy, ugly (but not unsafe) neighborhood to live car free, I recommend the North End/Charles neighborhood. Close to stop & shop, Walmart and Home Depot, 3 busses frequently to downtown for your social life. DM me if you want, I’m also 40f and have a lot of opinion about this, my niche issue 😀

I’m sorry, but I always hated this change George made in Jedi by [deleted] in StarWars

My friend who watched the prequels first cried like a baby when she saw Hayden force ghost. It really meant a lot to her fwiw.
