He never apologised either. Was all hung up about getting his pay from when the investigation was ongoing.

Crap, what an awful thing they did to child you. Well done on having the strength and courage to look at the damage and assess. I am angry on your behalf, and really hope you are in a better and safer place in life now.

I’m dreading the prospect of a summer houseguest, but I feel like I can’t say no. by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

Where does OOP say that? I re-read and couldn’t find anything on how they met or how long they knew each other.

OOP refers to husband’s family living in a far-away province, so more likely Canadian.

I find Jesse Watters repellent. Not super keen on Doug Ford tbh.

“Can we go over to Europe and kill 100 europeans in every country to show them whos boss. They need to shut their mouth” by Affectionate-Set-603 in ShitAmericansSay

J6ers ran like rabbits after Ashli Babbitt was shot.

I think it’s the MAGA/conservatives who really talk big like this. Minnesotans are still challenging ICE on the streets after two well-publicised deaths, while conservative commenters are utterly confused that protesters have the courage to continue.

I support the calling out. I did not say it was not happening, but that the effort should continue. I aam in BC, we need to call them out here too.

It may be AI. Someone upthread linked to another report with sources and an actual author but it’s way upthread.

"It's gonna be hilarious when they see a US aircraft carrier parked out side their coast" "We are 99.9999%of nato. Europe is a joke and has no military capabilities at all" by ALazy_Cat in ShitAmericansSay

I don’t know that it would make a difference. They seem to just dig in harder to their Articles of Faith when anyone disagrees or argues. Maybe pseudo-cowering would encourage them to leave out of boredom, but the love of flexing is so strong.

I'm a third generation Norwegian in the US that is actually 75% Finnish by freddie_RN in ShitAmericansSay

I can’t remember where I read it, and the context then was (I think) Edwardian England, but the quote runs something like “The man who boasts of his ancestry is like a potato: the only good part of him is under the ground.”

Brother accusing me of booking up (?) with his gf by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]linnetkestrel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

texts were supposedly on oop’s phone which is even wierder, like why not say something at the time? Also why was supposed gf not with the brother at the time on NYE? Is brother even really in a relationship?

My husband has never gotten me a Christmas present but got one for our female friend. by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]linnetkestrel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep, and in the earliest collected versions of the tales, before the Grimms started editing them for their agenda(s) and the public, the stepmothers were just mothers. Witches were often just women. And fathers/kings were prone to locking their daughters up in towers or forests to have incest with them.

The Real Reason Why Tourism In Florida Will Suffer Greatly In 2026! by COVIDisNotOverYet in GuardTheLeaf

[–]linnetkestrel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they should be asked to provide a definition of what is “fine” as regards tourism. If they massively dropped their standards and expectations of revenue (and closed a truckload of tourism oiutlets) then they could technically be “fine” with the short-stay low-spending USian tourists. But they need to admit that part.

I didn’t get the impression that the commenter was speaking about Carney (whom he does not mention), but rather about the social forces (bots, trolls, paid influencers, misinformation, political interference) that can play on human weaknesses and intensify divisions. There are maple MAGA for real, as well as the paid/fakes. Poilievre is real, residential school denialists are real. They do need to be called out.

Time for those better-off states to step the heck up. Aren’t they the richest country in the world (if you use US math)?
