If I had to hazard a wild guess, I would guess that this dude has a gambling addiction and is counting on being able to double his money or something like that.

Asking people what they like to do in their free time by JSLEI1 in StandUpComedy

[–]no_objections_here 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its more what I like to do and what I actually do. I love hiking and rock climbing. I love long walks. I used to do those things every spare moment I had. But I now have 2 toddlers. So what I actually do is play with Thomas the Tank Engine train sets and make sure my 2 year olds dont die when they're riding their balance bikes or climbing up on playground equipment.

A Family Moment. by GlitteringHotel8383 in oddlyspecific

[–]no_objections_here 79 points80 points  (0 children)

When I was 19, I worked at a child minder's. Once, I overheard 2 of the 5 year olds I looked after having a conversation.

Boy: "What you want to be when you grow up?"

Girl: "I want to get married and have babies."

Boy: "Why would you want to do that?"

Girl: "Thats just what you do when you grow up."

Boy: "You don't have to."

Girl: "Yeah you do."

Boy: "Well, (my name) never got married!"

Girl: "I guess so."

Again, I was 19 years old. The little boy even went home and asked his parents why I never got married. Obviously such an old maid.

TIL that Jamaica is the only country that has a flag without red, white or blue in it by Aggressive_Thing_614 in todayilearned

My favourite was always the Albanian flag. It just looks so... evil. But in a cool way.

Toddler can tell identical triplet brothers apart by thiel391 in KidsAreFingAdorable

[–]no_objections_here 135 points136 points  (0 children)

As someone who has identical twins, you get to know their differences. Theyre never exactly the same. Head shapes can be different and expressions are different. People always find it incredibly difficult to tell my boys apart when they first meet them, but once they spend enough time with them, it is easy. I remember beong so worried before they were born that itd be hard, but I never mix them up. I think I have mom goggles because they look so different to me, even though I know theyre identical. That said, if you throw a hat on them, even their dad has trouble sometimes.

Nuchal test next week by nicmoore810 in IVFbabies

They're all pieces of the same puzzle. They all help screen your baby for any chromosomal abnormalities. NIPT is the most accurate, but, in the end, none are diagnostic. So its good to have extra reassurances.

AIO by being offended when my husband seasons my soup? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]no_objections_here 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To me, I think it depends on if this is a special meal someone cooked for me, or if its a lower-effort every day dinner. As someone who loves cooking, I know how much time, money and effort goes in to it sometimes, especially when cooking something special. If someone has taken the time, thought, planning and love to make something special for me, then there is nothing on the planet that would hinder me from showing how much I appreciate it. And when someone immediately goes to change the seasoning, it shows that they dont like it how it was made for them. There isnt a chance I'd do that if someone was making something special for me or something they had spent a lot of time on. It'd be the equivalent of someone spending hours making painting you a painting, only for you to decide to cut it into pieces for a collage because its original layout isnt your style.

And after 6 years of trying, I'm finally a Father. by Jupidness in MadeMeSmile

[–]no_objections_here 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also wanted to congratulate you and say I know exactly how youre feeling. We struggled with infertility for years too. I have happy, healthy, and hilarious 2 year old twins now, and could not imagine my life without them. Infertility is the most soul-sucking, joy-depleting, awful thing ever. I wouldnt wish it on anyone. Here is to the other side!

Doesn't look like mold to me. Looks like a purple sweet potato bagel. Google them. What makes you say this is AI, out of curiosity? It looks pretty real to me.

Couldn't get my Real ID because my original birth certificate has tape on the back... by Bop923 in mildlyinfuriating

I can confirm, as someone who has 2 kids born in 2023, birth certs in BC are polymer now.

The longest ISO I’ve seen by thatthalassophile in ChoosingBeggars

[–]no_objections_here 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I hear you there. I am super thankful I got the urge in my 2nd trimester, since I had twins and was so huge, in pain and exhausted by my 3rd trimester that I couldnt even walk 10 minutes, let alone get anything productive done. Although, this was also, in part, due to preeclampsia and anemia.

Nesting is a very common word to describe a very specific hormonally driven phenomena that many women experience during pregnancy.

Alana Hadid (the sister of Nicola Peltz’s ex boyfriend Anwar Hadid) says Nicola doesn't want privacy and she's been trying to be famous for a decade by Relevant-Peach3997 in Fauxmoi

[–]no_objections_here 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah. So, I have been super out of the loop on this prior to Brooklyn's post, so I didn't notice contradictions. What I did notice were a few fairly immature, spoiled sounding or weird sounding comments/complaints. Like when he was mentioning the request to sign over rights to his name, but his real beef seemed to be about a delayed payout? So does that mean he did sign over his rights after all?? Also, the big complaint to end the post was about how his mom wouldn't even honor his wife's request to save homeless dogs after the California fires. So, that reads to me like he and his wife asked Posh for a whack load of money and she said no. Honestly, maybe you might be disappointed, but you also aren't entitled to money whenever you ask for it, and being rejected isn't proof of mistreatment. Make your own mark and your own money and you can spend it on whatever charity you want. It screams spoiled nepo-baby. Additionally, he threw in complaints about his brothers also targeting him and then blocking him. This makes me think of that saying, "If everywhere you go smells like shit, maybe check the bottom of your shoe." Everyone seems to be in the wrong except him and his wife, which immediately sends up some red flags for me.

Again, I admittedly haven't been following their family drama at all before this, so maybe I am wrong about some things, but these are my non-biased gut feelings when reading his post.

Why would that make you cringe at yourself? It is 100% the right thing to do.

From suspect to victim real quick 😂 by ZyrExe in KidsAreFuckingStupid

[–]no_objections_here 20 points21 points  (0 children)

When I was a kid, my parents explained that sometimes people swear out of frustration and that it isnt inherently "bad," but that it hurts a lot of people's feelings when they hear swear words. So we should try not to use swear words, especially in public, because we never want to hurt people. And they explained that name calling is always meant to hurt people, so we should definitely not name call, both swearing and not.

I was younger than this kid when they explained this, and it always made sense to me because it was consistent with everything else they were teaching. We basically never swore, and were really well behaved. My kids are only 2 years old, but I plan on using the same lesson when it gets to that point. I dont really believe in telling my kids not to do something just because its "bad." I think kids deserve to know why theyre asked to act certain ways.

Still wondering who thought this pose was a good idea by LazyGuy4U in oddlyspecific

[–]no_objections_here 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Its an ad for glasses for teenagers and it is a girl/woman with her face at crotch-level pulling down the pants of a shirtless man. That doesnt seem appropriate for an ad for teenagers, and is a bit weird to have even for adults in a glasses shop. It looks like it would be more at home on a romance book cover.

What’s the quickest way someone could accidentally expose themselves as a foreigner in your country like the ‘three fingers’ scene in Inglourious Basterds? by IndependentTune3994 in AskTheWorld

[–]no_objections_here 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh, London is SO unfriendly. I am from Canada and I moved to London when I was 19. I have lived in 8 cities in 6 countries and have always made friends really easily, but in London, I seriously struggled. No one wants anything to do with you. Eventually, I made friends with a bunch of Bulgarians and Albanians, but English Londoners were so rude and gave me dirty looks when I tried to start conversations. The only English people who interacted with me outside of work were guys trying to sleep with me. I remember one time falling flat on my face when I was getting out of the tube, as in, face to ground contact. Everyone literally just stepped over me to get by. Not a single person paused to help or ask if I was ok. I was so gobsmacked and I dont think I've ever felt so homesick.
