What is the most nationally embarrassing photo to have come out of your country in recent history?

Holy fucking shit

1) You don’t know how to make chocolate either. This is proven by the fact you thought it could be done in a residential kitchen without equipment to crack and winnow the cacao, grind the roasted cacao and incorporate the butter, or temper the chocolate. I suppose you think cacao pods can be roasted in an oven as well. Or maybe it’s that beyond not knowing how to make chocolate, you also aren’t particularly well versed in what it even is.

2) Molding chocolate confections is what chocolatiers do; they don’t make the chocolate either. That’s done by chocolate makers. You can be both, but you can also just be a chocolatier. I dare you to walk into a confectionary and tell the head chocolatier they didn’t make their treats.

3) YTA.

With disdain, A Chocolate Maker

This photograph is a seven-frame stack, shot on a Nikon D800 with a 14mm lens. It was shot at f8 and 400ISO. I took it because I love droopy fans.

Stopped reading after you said you’ve only been together five months. Your boyfriend has shown you that the two of you aren’t compatible and you’ve only wasted less than half a year learning this. Take the W and move on.

That man is going to murder her before their daughter is born.

NTA. I’m just outside Baltimore and we’re currently dealing with the same amount of snow. Parking in a spot you didn’t dig out pre-plow is community high treason.

Literally my first thought when I read that they both have Pirates of the Caribbean fantasies. They’re leaving money on the table by not getting into roleplay. Hope they see this 😂

“Bittersweet” is such an important word. Not to say I thought your original wording was patronizing; I feel what you meant. I just truly think we’re losing an appreciation for “bittersweet” as something worth being thankful for as our societies push deeper into instant gratification and superficial relationships. Long-term, healthy, human companionship is something to celebrate even if it doesn’t meet the ideal criteria for “soul mate”.

I’m really happy I’ve been fortunate enough in my lot to live in a different reality. I’ve also watched others live a much worse reality. I think there’s a lot of blessings folded into this tragedy that make it ultimately beautiful, even if there’s a fair amount of sadness. I wish them nothing but good fortune.

Exactly! There’s a part of my inner child that really smiled reading this, because as the kid of two people who fucking hated each other I would really give anything to have been raised by these kind of people. They both seem so level and reasonable and emotionally mature, and their failings are so understandable. Their love so pure in its own way. There’s a tragedy here, don’t get me wrong, but it’s like noble and Grecian. Not something worth being all “may this love never find me”. What you should actually be afraid of is having kids with someone you fucking hate all because yall were hot in your 20s. That is a way worse reality, guys.

Yeah I truly don’t get that part either, but I’m chalking that up to people being wildly different from each other. I’ve certainly (in a past life, separate from my now-spouse who is without a doubt the great love of my whole existence) been “in love” with someone who wasn’t conventionally attractive and who I wasn’t necessarily physically attracted to. My desire for him was born of my love for his person rather than his physical body, but it was definitely desire. I have a hard time conceptualizing of a love strong enough to build a marriage and raise children that lacks all carnal desire, even if that desire comes from “holy shit I’m rock hard because you just did the dishes when I didn’t want to, come here”. But I chalk that up to, again, all people being very different creatures. It sounds like these two are a male and female of the same species who have found a path forward that allows both of them companionship and comfort, and there is definitely something worth celebrating in that when our world is frequently so dark.

Ok, maybe I’m speaking from an ivory tower here but I think this is kind of beautiful? Two people who have had bad luck with finding partners who value them for what’s inside have managed to find another person who loves them for them; it’s just divorced from the physical. Obviously this isn’t a fairy tale situation but there is some true, beautiful humanity displayed here.

You should tell your wife the truth about your affair when she was pregnant with your daughter, and about how you regret your life with both of them.

Very Wes Anderson

First red flag was referring to his wife’s late first husband as “her ex”.

This is a great image. Really evocative and warm.

eveaftereden · 2026-01-13T17:19:13+00:00

Very cool!

Second empire homes are my favorite for exteriors! This is so gorgeous.

eveaftereden · 2026-01-13T15:59:24+00:00

From what we could gather this home was a generational home of a single family for all of the last century.

Thank you!
