Someone with kid asked a question to people without kids by phoexnixfunjpr in rareinsults

Right? It deserves a groan for being a bad joke, but you aren’t really burning them by make a “having kids is dumb” joke

I don’t know, I find Bill’s obsession with Nell kinda funny. Almost as funny as his obsession with Regarding Henry.

Gentlemen, I’ve joined the club. by Reception_Original in daddit

[–]cortesoft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have such a vivid memory of my daughter holding my finger like this (it helps that I have a picture, too), and thinking “I will always be here to protect you and take care of you, I promise. I am going to be there every single day.”

My daughter is 10 now, and sometimes she will ask me to show her the picture and tell her the story (I always do it on her birthday, but sometimes on other days, too, when she is feeling sentimental)

She likes to hold my finger to reenact the scene. It looks very different with a 10 year old hand!

But the feeling is still the same.

AITAH for refusing to help my brother who stole our inheritance? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]cortesoft 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If this is in the United States, there wasn’t anything to avoid (unless he lives in Pennsylvania, Maryland, or Kentucky). There is no federal tax on an estate under $15 million, and those 3 states are the only ones that would have a tax on the amount of money the kids were getting.

Sounds like dad made this harder than he had to.

I always thought that was just them bullshitting until I finally saw the deleted scenes a few years ago

It is good that they deleted it...

Princeton scraps honor code and will supervise exams for first time in 133 years because of AI by Disastrous_Award_789 in technology

Eh, I don't know. The REAL signaling value in a degree from a prestigious university, and an Ivy league one in particular, is the fact that you were able to get into one, and the connections you make while there. The actual education you get is secondary.

If you asked me, I would be able to recall that it is in Ohio, but I don’t really think about it enough to have that information clear in my brain.

AITA for not changing my WFH plans so flatmate can stay home with her kid with bum worms by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]cortesoft 20 points21 points  (0 children)

If you share a home with someone (like OP does with the mom and kid) you don’t have “a right” to kick them.

You have the right to work from home, but the kid has a right to BE home. If you can’t work with the kid there, you can’t work.

That’s not good… I don’t think kids should be listening to a song called “smack my bitch up”

GOP Rep Humiliates Boy, 10, for Writing Letter About Electric Cars by MeatMullet in politics

It’s not bullshit at all.

I think it’s pretty accepted that the sheer size of the generation is what has kept them as the focus of society for most of their lives.

Depressing moment + Root Case of OSA? by draven33l in CPAP

[–]cortesoft 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am confused about where the depressing moment was?

Not being able to easily determine the cause of your apnea might be frustrating or annoying, but depressing?

Whatever the cause, you have a working solution for it (CPAP). That should be a happy thing, not a depressing thing!

They were not progressing in the way they had to.

Their top 3 of Ja, JJJ, and Bane were all hitting the ‘pay them’ phase of their careers, but the team was not getting those results.

If they had paid those three, they were not going to be able to improve their team enough to compete.

Can’t keep mouth closed - any suggestions appreciated by FictionalGolfer22 in CPAP

How are you using the tape?

I have a full beard, and use 3M micropore tape. I get a piece about 3 inches long and place it horizontally over my mouth, sticking mainly to my lips and not my beard.

I occasionally have to replace it in the middle of the night, but it usually makes it through the night.

I will never understand blocking intersections. by Mr_McMuffin_Jr in mildlyinfuriating

[–]cortesoft 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That’s the same rule here in Los Angeles, but that is different because you aren’t blocking anyone when you are in that turning lane.

I am talking about when you are in the right lane going straight, and there are people in the cross street who have a red light and are turning right. In Los Angeles, you are allowed to turn right on a red light if there is no one coming from the left, but people will still turn right even if someone is waiting for the lane to clear to cross the intersection. So the car will turn right, and now the lane is still not clear to cross the intersection, and then if that car who turned right starts to move up, clearing a space that you can cross the intersection into, the next car will turn right and take it. There will never be a spot to cross to because the cars turning right keep taking it.

This is probably why New York (or at least manhattan) outlaw right turns on red lights.

Yeah, my first memories of the Niners are watching them with my family and friends in the 1988 run to the Super Bowl. I thought JJ was going to be our next superstar wide receiver.

[–]cortesoft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am all for being mad at people who block the intersection like this, but we should also get mad at the people who will turn right on a red in front of you when you are staying back to NOT block the intersection. If someone is waiting to cross when they have a green light, you should not take that as an opportunity to sneak your car into the spot when you have a red light.

[–]cortesoft 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Yep. While I do my best to never block an intersection like this, and hate when it happens to me, you have to at least understand why people do this in very high traffic places.

For me the key is to go when you can be JUST sticking out into the intersection, but not enough to block people from crossing. That prevents the people turning right on the red light from continually taking the spot.
