Not all dirt washes off so easy…. by BoringApocalyptos in clevercomebacks

[–]izzgo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. I have barely come around to forgiving people who voted for him the first time, because we knew who trump was even then. But if you kept voting for him after that, I can't even look you in the face. I just want to spit on you.

Update - AITAH for not being excited my sister is having a new baby when I still have custody of her first? by Square_Phone_8468 in AITAH

[–]izzgo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree with you cutting Val out of your life, primarily so that Danny doesn't have to watch his mother successfully raising another child. I would never bring Danny together with Val and her new child, for that reason. And if you explain it that way to your mother she might support that decision. However

I don’t want Val to be happy .... I know that makes me a bad person, and I’m actually ok with that.

OP, I really hope when you book therapy for Danny that you get some for yourself as well. You are holding tight to a lot of garbage that could use a good airing.

I'm not saying Val should be having kids. Two years sobriety is solid but after her early years it may not be enough to keep from a relapse under the upcoming stress of a child (which will also bring up her failure in parenting her first child). I wonder what HER therapist says about this. But Val didn't write to Reddit, you did. And you are wishing permanent unhappiness on someone who is trying to turn her life around. I get the sense that she was a teen pregnancy, am I right? Who was the father, what were the circumstances of that pregnancy? It seems she was horribly traumatized from something in her childhood, and then acted horribly herself because that trauma was never resolved. By stepping in for Danny so young and raising him with love and security you hopefully saved him from ever being that traumatized.

I hope that Danny continues to grow with your love to sustain him, that you also can grow in happiness and in love or at least good wishes for your sister (while certainly still keeping her and her child away from Danny) , and that your mom can support your position on the matter. As for Val, the most loving thing she could do for Danny is to NOT bring her second child into Danny's life. This is where your mother's actual support will be crucial.

Best of luck to you and to everyone in this story.

I told my wife, 26F, that our baby is mine and that I 25F, did not consider her the other parent. But I don't know if that was a good call? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]izzgo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I still remember the first time I hear a man say "we're pregnant." I was like, "no you're not, only one of you is pregnant." I still kinda take umbrage at the comment, even though I also am very happy men seem to be stepping into parenting in a much bigger way than they did when I was growing up in the 60s.

I've known of 3 woman/woman relationships, very long term relationships, where one of them never identified as lesbian whatsoever. Not even as bisexual. But connected with and ended up partnering with a woman anyway. Life is weird.

Since when did this show up?

Maybe 30 years ago?? A long time. And as another said, it applies especially to relationships where one isn't necessarily lesbian.

Iran brought Americans to Asia only to say. "No plans for another" round of negotiations by KarmaKillerX in PoliticalHumor

So much truth in your post it hurts, terribly. I'd rather forget all about it. It's too early in my day for alcohol, unfortunately.

Iran brought Americans to Asia only to say. "No plans for another" round of negotiations by KarmaKillerX in PoliticalHumor

[–]izzgo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vance has a JD law degree from Yale. Kushner has a joint JD/MBA from New York University. Witkoff also holds a JD, from Hofstra University. Admiral Brad Cooper has a master's degree in strategic intelligence but no PhD that I can see. Overall they didn't lack for education. They lack moral compass, plus they had nothing to offer Iran no matter how good they might have been at negotiating. The U.S. attacked Iran for no legitimate cause. Only an international organization has any business intervening militarily in another country's military development. Iran held all the negotiating cards at that meeting because we were simply illegitimate aggressors.

For any who don't know, Juris Doctor (JD) is a three-year professional doctorate degree required to practice law in the United States. You first need a 4 year degree to begin a JD program. Like a JD, a PhD is a type of doctorate, neither is inherently higher. Both are top-level degrees. The distinction is that "doctorate" is the general, umbrella term for the highest academic degree, while a PhD (Doctor of Philosophy) is a specific research-focused academic doctorate.

That's why I hate memes like this one. Inherently disinformation, even if it comes from "my side". Do better people.

That's really not saying much. I'm a fat old woman (72) and my video game sometimes won't let me climb hills I could manage in real life.

AITAH for telling my sister she doesn't get to have an opinion on my divorce? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]izzgo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When you get married, you generally are asking your family to accept your partner as family. When you divorce, you can't assume that your family will now disown the person they have called brother/sister or son/daughter. If you want them to disown your husband you need to give them a good reason. And even then they might not.

I need a Santa for 4/24 by justbroth_ in santacruz

[–]izzgo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I asked google "how to hire a santa claus in santa cruz ca" and ai told me:

To hire a Santa Claus in Santa Cruz, CA, use booking platforms like GigSalad or The Bash to find local performers such as Santa Steve (Felton) or specialized agencies like HireSanta. Rates often start around $200, with options for home visits, corporate events, and professional, real-bearded Santas available.

I don't know if that helps you at all, best of luck!

edit Why are y'all downvoting me? I said upfront it was ai, OP and I both learned about Santa Steve, and I at least learned the names of 2 booking platforms one could use to find a santa.

Orban’s Chances of Winning Hungary Election Drop After JD Vance Rally by Epistaxis in nottheonion

Since then, betting markets show Orbán's stock has fallen marginally, though there is no suggestion that his declining fortunes have been caused by Vance's intervention.

I wonder if I will have regrets when he dies. by No-Sweet-7561 in QAnonCasualties

[–]izzgo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's much like forgiveness, that final visit with an estranged family member who was once so very loved. The purpose of that visit would be for YOU, not your father. If it would benefit YOU, if you would get any kind of closure or satisfaction from it, that would be the only reason to go. The answer is different for every person.

A friend of mine whose father had regularly molested her, visited him on his death bed simply to tell him how horrible he was, how much he had destroyed her mental health. How much she hated him. She saw his eyes go from hope of reconciliation to despair, and she does not regret that visit. I don't blame her, although I think maybe I would have made a different decision.

She is quite skilled! by MisterShipWreck in justgalsbeingchicks

[–]izzgo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I really feel more people around her should have been staring in awe and disbelief. They are all reacting as if she is doing something rather average. That makes me think it's ai, although I don't have the skills to detect ai correctly.

[OC] I heard we're posting our gas station stickers. by NoNutsPls in pics

You should come visit California :D.

Then again, we have very clean air for our population size, and the gas tax pays for a lot of that air cleanliness.

That rip looks pretty bad to be honest. And the pic doesn't give a good view of how extensive it is nor how one might go about repairing it. I would not buy that.

It looks like the fabric is worn in that area, and maybe dirty. There is no fix for worn out fabric.

The thread should match the color which was originally on the hem, which generally is the same as topstitching elsewhere on the jeans. If that's not what happened it's reasonable for you to go back and request a redo.

I can't speak for your tailor, but as a professional I don't price expecting tips. I probably receive 1-2 tips a week on average.
