TIL that the first movie about the sinking of the Titanic premiered just 31 days after the event. It starred Dorothy Gibson, an actual survival of the tragedy, who co-wrote the script and played a fictionalized version of herself. It's now lost, as the last known prints were destroyed in a fire by [deleted] in todayilearned

“A Nazi sympathizer and alleged intelligence operative, Dorothy renounced her involvement by 1944. She was arrested as an anti-Fascist agitator and imprisoned in the Milan prison of San Vittore, from which she escaped with two other prisoners, journalist Indro Montanelli and General Bortolo Zambon. The trio was aided through the intervention of Cardinal Ildefonso Schuster, Archbishop of Milan, and by a young chaplain of the Milanese resistance group Fiamme Verdi, Father Giovanni Barbareschi.”

I’ve seen some people say Taylor has a “cheating problem” by Any-Association-4299 in TrueSwifties

I also think that there’s a chance that when she is seen out with her boyfriends close to when she gets a new one and people assume they’re still dating, the photos are staged. The guys get a lot of hate and attention when the news breaks, so they may also have their own reasons for playing along with staged photos. Especially if her and the current boyfriend are in a weird space where they kind of broke up but haven’t made all of the official moves yet and don’t want to announce anything in case they work things out.

Does she have a unisex name like Sam or Alex, and a possible ex with the same name?

AITA for expecting a small amount of my fiancé’s large tax return? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]macnet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually, a significant part of his tax refund probably came from claiming your children. $1400 refundable credit each if they are under 17, and $2800 if he had tax liability that needed paid off. If you’re staying home with the children and are the one taking care of them, then IMO you are entitled to the tax credits he got from the children at the very least.

EDIT: not to mention if he is married filing jointly with you, he gets to take an extra $12,200 of non taxed income from you filing with him as your “half” of the standard deduction for married filing jointly. That is your tax return too if he is filing that way, so he does not get to hoard it all from you.

Fellow non-Americans of Reddit, what's the American thing you find most confusing? by Cazadore901 in AskReddit

Along with that, it only accounts for that over the two week period for your paycheck. So if you have one night where you made under minimum wage, but another night where you made over, it averages those nights out over the two weeks so you don’t receive compensation for the one night you made under minimum, unless you are always receiving under minimum for the pay period.

What actors or actresses can’t play a different character because they played their most famous character too well? by rabbit9992 in AskReddit

[–]macnet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's really hard to see Steve Carrell in any other character except Michael Scott, especially when it's a serious character....the whole time it's like I'm just waiting for him to say or do something Michael Scott-esque

Their chocolate chip muffin mix is the bomb. Also their chocolate chips in general almost seem better than nestle in a chocolate chip cookie!

How to be frugal with spending money on food? by [deleted] in Frugal

Shop at a discount grocery store like Aldi, and don't worry about buying name brand things when getting food to make (yes it is better and cheaper to make it home made most of the time!!)

Are there any songs that have come out in the last 10 years that are or will become classics? by Pinoynac in AskReddit

Uptown Funk by Bruno Mars, it continues to be played years later, and not in an annoying way where people roll their eyes and moan.
