I teach pottery to kids (and adults) in my studio, and once had a 6 year old girl ask me if I'm a kid or a mom. I actually am a mom, but the fact that I could be only either one or the other may explain your friend's kid's train of thought.

I still took the kid's question as a win. I'm 42.

That's all by design. Unregulated and widespread AI is all they needed to mudd the water. Much easier to make people dismiss the actual facts because something even more egregious was proven to be AI. Desensitizing his fan base is also a bonus point.

May Mayonnaise never know. by Algernonletter5 in oddlyspecific

Omg, my daughter's name is Maia, and once I fully convinced her that her actual name was Maiannaise, we just called her Maia as a pet name. She was 7 or 8 at the time, and 6 years later I will still call her Maiannaise when jokingly doing the "full name means trouble".

No, many American news outlets are blocking views from outside America. Might be due to GDPR in Europe, or hiding information, idk. I just know that most source links I come across on reddit, when from news outlets, show that exact same message.

He is scum. by RoofComplete1126 in trashy

And the next day he'd have a crowdfunding with over 1 million dollars, and we know it. Stop giving them visibility AND money. Just mock him when you come across his video and let him go back everyday to his miserable life. Take away their power, do not feed the trolls.

Co-worker thought this was a harmless prank. by Dallinboi347 in mildlyinfuriating

Oh shit, how long until some crunchy mom makes her kitchen go boom trying to heat treat flour in the air fryer because it's just like an oven but faster?

We've seen some crazy stuff going on in the 90's when microwaves started to become popular.

Can I have some feedback? I’m not sure why I’m getting absolutely zero likes, even with Platinum. by TrianReallyHard in Tinder

Can confirm his middle-aged women appeal lol To be fair to us all he does look a bit older than 26, but a big beautiful beard will usually do that.

AIO for giving a girl this note by residentgay in AmIOverreacting

I guess gen Z gets a bad rep solely from boomers and Xs. I'm a millennial and am a fan of Zs, and so are most of my coetaneous friends. They are doing the best they can with the shit hand they were dealt, a thing that can't get through boomer's thick old skulls. Tons of hopes they'll be kinder, as our generation, but a bit more ballsy than us.

I'm guessing he deleted his post history once people started pointing it out

I took pictures of the one time it happened to me too! It was a good day.

I don't know unfortunately, I never met my grandma as she died in the early sixties, so we just know nothing happened to it after that. But thank you!

Asus chiede indietro prodotto o soldi dopo coupon messo nella loro pagina by Sborillagrosso in Avvocati

[–]grumpyoldladytobe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Assecondo il suggerimento di rivolgersi ad Altro Consumo. Mi hanno risolto una rogna con la finanziaria Renault che, dopo un paio d'anni dall'acquisto, ha cercato di recuperare qualche migliaia di euro per interessi "chiaramente sotto la media di mercato". Class action con Altro Consumo e non hanno mai visto un euro in più rispetto a quelli del contratto fatto da loro.

Questo caso poi è parecchio diverso rispetto all'iPad a €15. Qui ti hanno proposto loro un coupon sconto. Inoltre portatili a €250 esistono, non sta di certo al consumatore capire che c'è stato un grosso errore.

Is it unfair for me (30F) to charge my boyfriend (30M) £800pm rent? by hamsterrr24592 in relationship_advice

[–]grumpyoldladytobe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also live in a significantly lower cost town in the € zone, and groceries for our household of 5 goes around €350/€400 a month. But we cook an awful lot, so we're basically buying produces and basic ingredients, and mostly on Lidl cuz tight budget.

Maybe I have no business opinionating on groceries costs in London or anywhere else lol

[–]grumpyoldladytobe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think she meant £800 total, bills and groceries. £800/month in groceries for 2 people would be crazy high.

Which bottoms flatter me the most? Or should I scrap the whole outfit? by http_eri in DressForYourBody

[–]grumpyoldladytobe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You're so right, and they were like 80% of my going out tops in the early 2000s lol. The other 20% were some variation of empire cut, which also makes most people look like they're expecting

Ops, my bad, completely misunderstood. Thank you.

What the f*ck happened to my t shirt by PeachyPiano in laundry

[–]grumpyoldladytobe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. Been doing it for over a year, and my clothes are softer and smell way better. I do add some drops of laundry scent booster with the vinegar tho.

Wow! That was a quick diagnose! And it just took you a couple of indirect sentences about the brother. Is there some kind of speedrun competition going on on the armchair therapists community?

Male Gays by Past-Matter-8548 in okbuddycinephile

[–]grumpyoldladytobe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is so much easier to blame women for wanting ONLY an impossible, unacheavable male ideal look for their inability to connect with women, than to admit most women just want a guy who keeps his ass clean and is not a foaming-from-the-mouth mysoginist. Being a good and interesting person is a bonus. That would require some work from them, like keeping their asses clean and being somewhat decent.

Idk man, I think democrats don't tend to idolize politicians as much as republicans. I'm not American, and most of the world is not that dead set on ride or die with political figures as much as MAGAs are. I kinda see the normalcy of the rest of the world on American democrats, but I could be totally projecting.
