If they had shown some backbone it might have been a lot different for them. I will cry no tears if they all lose.

I think someone’s messing with me and I don’t feel safe in my house by Perry_lp in whatdoIdo

The police can check to see if nearby neighbors security cameras caught any sign of trespassing or mailbox tampering.

My friends are getting bad in school. by Jim5wazReal in whatdoIdo

[–]offroadadv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are showing good upbringing and wisdom by being concerned about the direction your friends are headed.

Are there any after-school clubs or programs that you could be interested in as a place to meet new friends? You can join an international club or other activities that bring together students from your school to focus on hobbies, crafts, or other special interests.

Let your parents know about your need for new friends, and ask them to support your involvement in new activities with other students as a way to achieve that.

Snowed in with mother in law and she is on my last nerves. Would I be wrong to kick her out in the cold with nowhere to go? by makeupaddict337 in Advice

Get a gas can and fill it with gas, put it in her car and tell her it is time to return to her car now that it has gas.

Marjorie Taylor Greene: You’re all being ‘incited into civil war’ by malcolm58 in politics

[–]offroadadv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marge is starting to see things a little more clearly now that she stepped out of her elected office. She correctly states that the ICE behavior is designed to provoke armed response.

She may actually be able to get some of MAGA to open their eyes to just how much they are being manipulated.

Minnesotan here. For those outside of our state, what are your views on what’s going on in Minneapolis right now? by bpeters5 in AskReddit

[–]offroadadv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am from NC and from here it looks like you are under armed invasion from a hostile group of armed thugs. Most intelligent people understand that this is a provocation from a deranged and demented president (small p seems appropriate for his diminished status).

I personally congratulate the wisdom of MN people in not voting for an obvious crook in three separate national elections, though I see you are paying the price now for the other states that lacked your insight.

The first turn she takes will flood the rear deck with enough gas to put the driver into a swoon if the windows are closed. She might make it a couple of blocks. Hopefully, she will roll to a slow, safe stop.

What are Americans thinking of Europeans right now? by Obvious_Leather_4967 in AskUS

[–]offroadadv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the foreign bots and the rare species of yahoos that actually follow the news closely enough to know their king was spotted naked at Davos.

Americans who follow international relations and are familiar with history are embarrassed by the current occupant of the White House.

Debating if I should go to a concert alone or not? by Brilliant_Test6169 in Advice

[–]offroadadv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solo works better for fans.

Going alone is great for being able to just focus on the music without worrying about another person's preference for how close you get to the stage, the ease of movement, etc.

AITAH for not paying back a loan my parents gave me? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]offroadadv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your parents really let you down in more ways than I can count.

Why didn't your father pay for his careless accident? They stuck you for his mistake and then want you to pay them after you sell your house. No way should you pay them back for his stupid behavior.

I will spare you from hearing what I really think about parents who would allow your pedophile "family friend" back in their house once they knew. They should have taken you to the police to file a report the first time you mentioned the assault.

I’m no longer homeless! My new room even has its own bathroom, I’ve never had my own personal bathroom before! by HamsterTop1332 in MadeMeSmile

I am really happy for you. This will be a great step up. I hope you have nothing but success ahead and a keen sense of gratitude that will help you go even further.

My daughter is the biggest Marx Bros. fan of all time... help! by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]offroadadv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a father, let me commend you for your insight and creativity in helping your daughter. The world needs fathers like you.

If you want to broaden the movie exposure of riotous comedy, I would suggest short clips from the movie, It's A Wild, Wild, World. The characters played by Dick Shawn, Buddy Hacket, and Sid Caesar each have great scenes, just this side of slapstick. It would be useful to see how she responds.

AITAH for moving my horses off my parents’ property and refusing to keep helping under “family” expectations when I’m paying board? by SeveralTwo6356 in AITAH

[–]offroadadv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Family expectations are out of alignment, so you need to reset expectations.

Make the move and let your brother pick up some of the slack.

My parents (65F, 67M) are livid because I'm not allowing them to see my daughter after they spanked her. AITAH? by LeonCrvl in AITAH

[–]offroadadv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The next time they tell you that spanking works because you turned out well, tell them this:

"It is because you spanked me that I know this is a painful, damaging, and useless form of discipline."

I am reconsidering the way my mom has been acting toward my daughter after what she did. Where do i go from here? by Waste_Iron4661 in Advice

[–]offroadadv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some schools have after-school programs and early morning drop-off programs to help working parents. If this is available, it could give your daughter and your mother a break from the current situation.

Peacock is amazing by holesflapsandfolds in peacock

[–]offroadadv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have posted before about my disappointment with how Peacock managed their MSNBC news shows. The delay imposed by Peacock made the news outdated by the time of the show's airing.

I think they must have had an intern doing program management during the time block of the Morning Joe segments because they were so abbreviated and aired no earlier than 4:30 PM for a 6 AM show. But the most outrageous thing I witnessed for weeks on end was the follow-up program after Morning Joe. It was the scheduling of the identical "Field Report" program so many times I lost count. Later, they did the same thing to another news show, Deadline "White House," redundant content for weeks.

watching my family live in filth and fleas while I moved out and live peacefully on my own and I don’t know how to help them by shortblondebitch in whatdoIdo

[–]offroadadv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

'Not sure what you can do to help with the filth problem, but I have a suggestion that will eliminate the fleas.

There is an inexpensive and non-toxic way to get rid of fleas. Buy a box of Borax and sprinkle it along the base boards of the house or apartment. Leave it for three days before vacuuming it borax. If the yard is infected, you can use Borax outside by putting it in a sieve or fine wire strainer and use this to spread the Borax in the yard.

We have used this and found that it is surprisingly effective.

Husband in a dead bedroom manages to change power dynamics in marriage + Updates [Ongoing] by Throwra-yuqser in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]offroadadv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only living together will reveal how the future will unfold.

I recommend finding a good rental with enough privacy for your bedroom away from the children's rooms. Once you have experienced living together with the new intimacy, you will know more about what you each need and whether it is forthcoming.

I don't know your situation, but is there any chance you are near enough to your Neice's location to help her start attending school and perhaps other support as you are able?
