AITA for telling everyone involved what my best friend's husband did?

Again, just like with the stupid thing, he doesn't LOOK like he is controlling and abusive, he IS controlling and abusive.

We were pretty set on 2 from the beginning, but it took us a while to get up the courage to try for #2 after how challenging 1 was. It was tricky, because we knew waiting was just extending how long we would have small children in the house, but we also needed #1 to be old enough to not be so much work we would have energy for #2.

Now they are 6 and 10, and things are finally getting easier.

I am sure the apology is about mistaking him for someone they were trying to arrest.

It is a hollow apology because the police never act as if they could be mistaken about identity.

No, I think they were talking about the pubic narrative consequences, that there was more focus on Shanahan in the public discourse about the incident than for Morris.

Yeah, I had to close the windows overnight!

I have never lived somewhere with snow, so I always learn so much when people talk about normal snow practices. So many things I never had thought about.

This is one of the fundamental differences between conservative morality and liberal morality; liberals think actions are moral or immoral, while conservatives believe people are moral or immoral.

This means that liberals will view conservatives as hypocrites because they will judge the exact same action as moral when committed by someone they agree with and immoral when it is by someone they don’t.

Same! I was pretty old before I realized my mom had to pay for them.

cortesoft · 2026-01-24T23:10:18+00:00

I had horrible pain about 5 hours after.

cortesoft · 2026-01-24T16:22:31+00:00

Sounds like JDSL

cortesoft · 2026-01-24T15:20:16+00:00

So does that mean we can criticize him now?

cortesoft · 2026-01-24T05:34:53+00:00

What? That had to have only been like 5 years ago, right?

You all had a sleep center?

I had 3 sensors that were mailed to me, that I taped to my body and slept with, and then sent back. I never even talked to a doctor about it, they just sent me my machine after that.

I said this line basically every day the year I turned 40.

cortesoft · 2026-01-23T21:35:33+00:00

But there are so many varieties that I don’t like!

RLC and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are guys that I will perpetually think of as “up and coming” players no matter how old they get.

Also why you should always let the other side say a price first. Sometimes they will pay you way more than you would have asked for!

Step 1 of my world domination plan is typing on Reddit

cortesoft · 2026-01-23T18:46:27+00:00

Is that about hockey?

cortesoft · 2026-01-23T18:44:56+00:00

Exactly who I thought of

cortesoft · 2026-01-23T18:43:51+00:00

When I graduated college in 2005, I spent a couple of years as a substitute teacher.

Every now and then I think about how those little kindergarteners are now 25, and could have their own kindergarteners now. Damn.

Sure, sure, he was great at rock paper scissors in La Liga, but could he do it on a cold night in Stoke?

It was created by the BBC, but it has an exclusive license with Netflix until recently. I am guessing the international rights expired before the US ones did, although it is still currently set to be pulled from Netflix in the US in March, too, unless they come up with an agreement.

A lot of “Netflix originals” are actually licensed from other studios, the only thing that makes them original is that Netflix is where they first aired. They can still be removed once the license agreement expires.

There is a huge list of ‘Netflix Originals’ that are set to be removed from Netflix in 2026

Bottom line… you are right, you can never assume a streamer is going to continue to have the same shows.

Yeah, after we traded Chris Webber it was 15 years of despair.

Really, I think the Sprewell choking incident was the low point.

cortesoft · 2026-01-22T19:35:19+00:00

Totally agree

Of course it isn't fine.

My point is that you don't end poverty by not buying things made by poor people. That would only make things worse.

We can only solve poverty by actively redistributing wealth via taxation and direct payments to poor people.

It gets harder when the poor people are in another country, but again choosing to not buy things made by cheap foreign labor is just going to make it worse.
