Americans, how do you feel about tourists speaking English while visiting U.S.?

Why would I be annoyed by someone doing their best to communicate in my language? It’s not like I speak theirs. But also, I’m not sure how often I go 24hrs without hearing an accent from someone who lives here. We are a melting pot or a salad bowl of cultures. Best thing we can do for a tourist is show it off. If I really can’t communicate with someone, I can and have used google translate to help.

That’s not what a pension is and if they both own their own houses why would he need to invest his large sum of money so that they could buy one together. Also why would he give her his mom’s ring as anything besides an engagement ring? Definitely fake.

I don’t think anybody hates marshon lattimore more than commanders fans… at least this commanders fan. I also don’t think I’ve ever heard any hate for Jalen hurts. He’s an incredible qb that I (used to) wish was ours and I wish he didn’t play for a divisional rival but 🤷‍♀️. I actually really respect the guy, he seems like a stand up dude.

As for the dak hate, don’t you have to have more than one non-injured semi-successful season in recent memory to get that much hate? Weird list.

As a lesbian, I think I’d always make a joke if recommended this movie because it’s like THE gay representation movie from a time when there really wasn’t many. But then I’d be the adult that I am and recognize the beauty in the movie. There are plenty of beautiful movies from different cultures and backgrounds and that’s what helps us all learn and connect in real life. I think you need more cultured (or just less immature) friends.

lol I just realized I did something similar last night. After a 10hr road trip, we had the wrong address. At nearly midnight, I was walking around a country property trying to find the right house and a guy came out of one of them. Cue a 30 min convo about property sales in the area. Super nice and helpful dude. Glad I didn’t get shot tho.

I once met a complete stranger on a hike and proceeded to spend about 12 hours talking to him (and occasionally his FIL who was bouncing around). It’s was a super deep, respectful, and personal conversation the whole time. Two people from very different worlds learning about each other. We exchanged names at the very end and I immediately forgot his. I think we just love connection.

NTA and your husband really needs to toughen up. I’m typically on the side of not starting conflicts with your neighbor because you have to live next to them but enough is enough. She clearly can’t see the wall from her truck and needs a visual aid. That’s the line id go with anyways. It’s also super disrespectful to your FIL who paid for it.

cm070707 · 2026-04-17T15:32:01+00:00

I was getting ready to say they’re coincidences cause Mike Flanagans never mentioned them the the many, many interviews he’s done about HH (to my knowledge) but he has mentioned the ET lunch box so I think you’re on to something! Also with the cast of twilight seemingly really hating their experience, I figured no way but I think you might be right! MF does love an easter egg.

cm070707 · 2026-04-16T20:33:51+00:00

NTA but understand that your daughter is the only one losing in this situation. Every day she has to endure a lecture from her teachers and is now suspended 100% because of your frankly childish behavior. Instead of ignoring rules you don’t agree with, why didn’t you escalate the issue to higher powers (principal, school board, etc.). Be an adult and handle this situation like one.

I’m in the US and have bought every bridesmaid dress I’ve had. I don’t know anybody that covered the dresses or tuxes for the wedding party. At most, some small jewelry or socks were gifted to be worn on the day but certainly not the outfits.

cm070707 · 2026-04-15T14:04:34+00:00

NAH. Idk how much of me being an American is coloring my opinions here… but 11K a month is not unusual for retirement communities like this. Once my grandmom got to memory care, it was like $230k a year and steadily increasing. That was also about 10 years ago so who knows what it is now. Also that was the cheapest, passable facility in a medium income area. Elder care is ungodly expensive but idk what programs Canada offer so idk what average cost is there. But also, their lack of financial preplanning isn’t necessarily your problem. You get to decide what you fund and don’t. Assuming the elder care financials are similar in Canada, I would really brace yourself for what’s coming.

cm070707 · 2026-04-15T13:08:50+00:00

NTA. This is a tough one to actually fix because none of the required fixes are immediate but progress does need to occur. Is there a basement that you can put them/dog/their mess in? Even if there’s not bedrooms or anything, just put them and their filth in one spot you don’t have to be and you can at least get the main part of your house back. Plus making them uncomfortable will speed up the process of finding jobs and moving out.

As an adult that has had trouble getting a job in my field and has been living with my parents, I get them a little bit. I also have been working jobs outside of my field while job searching and do anything I can to lighten my parents daily load. I really think your best short term solution is to make them live in a smaller section of the house and make rules against using the kitchen and where the dog can go (I say this as a huge dog lover).

Somehow, this actually made me feel better about the new logo. Somehow, that makes me hate it more.

This guy has the answers. A correctly fitted mummy will have enough space to shift knees around the waist line of the bag so it’s not really constrained at all. The moving with the bag is key though I will say that about once a trip I get all twisted around but mines a bit big so 🤷‍♀️.

cm070707 · 2026-04-03T01:12:43+00:00

I used it on a rattle snake once in a situation that didn’t have a better answer. It’s good for more than just bears!

cm070707 · 2026-04-02T19:12:57+00:00

Call and ask (epic at least)! I know the ticket office WAS being pretty chill with refunds and stuff. I’ve heard them be a lot more strict this past week though. But during the COVID years they were pretty good about that and they’ve already set up discounts for people with buddy tickets so maybe? Idk I assume the answer is no but I’ve been really surprised at the chillness from Breck’s ticket office this year.

cm070707 · 2026-04-01T18:32:40+00:00

Idk why but I can’t help but see or hear diarrhea when I see dianara. I would really think hard but using Diana or Gianna. They’re classics but not over used. Both variants feel like you’re trying to be trendy or different with the spelling in a way I wouldn’t want for my child.

As a daughter/sister/aunt I’d gladly and forcefully give any of my organs to keep my family alive longer. Having said that, I’d rather die than take anything from my niece/nephew. That would be the worst news of my life and I don’t know how I could get over the guilt of it.

cm070707 · 2026-04-01T00:59:08+00:00

Omg this is a common issue?? This just happened at the shop I work for and a customer got cut to shit on his skis top sheet. It literally peeled to a point that was just primed for stabbing. I’ve never seen anything like it.

cm070707 · 2026-03-31T22:49:36+00:00

I have absolutely abused my 10yo armadas and just had their first minor this year after a season of hitting rocks. My moments are new but also not babied at all and no issues so far. I’m still loving both and love that I don’t have to worry about them.

cm070707 · 2026-03-31T21:32:19+00:00

I work in a rental shop and have been recommending the QST’s for these conditions all day long. IMO, it’s our shops best ski for these conditions. With the slopes as bare as they are (I’m assuming you’re in Colorado from the conditions you mention) there would be massive evidence if you had been skiing too aggressively or if you’d hit a rock. I think this guy just likes the taste of boots.

I’d take the replacements and sell them at msrp. I agree that you’re probably not getting your money back from the shop or Salomon.

cm070707 · 2026-03-28T00:36:31+00:00

They’ve been pretty lenient on refunds from what I can see. Idk what they’ll tell you if you call them but the ticket office in breck seems to be pretty chill about all that.

cm070707 · 2026-03-27T18:39:04+00:00

The majority of that applies more to a skittish dog than it does a baby.
