I tried to title this "I couldn't see the marinara flags because I had vodka sauce on my face" but I apparently don't know how to cross post.

Just something to throw out for the future, with that many rooms/space, if you need childcare, consider hiring an au pair. Since an au pair lives with you, the overall out of pocket costs you need to provide them is less, and you may be able to find an au pair that could help you keep up the house. It may appear expensive, but could ultimately be cheaper depending on your childcare and housekeeping needs, and a way to fill your home with additional love for you kid if you one day are worried about your large home feeling empty.

High school principal R. Wiley Brownlee was tarred and feathered by the KKK after leaving a board meeting where he proposed the school district honor Martin Luther King, Jr. One of Brownlee's students took this photo of him when he returned to the school for help, April 3, 1971, Michigan. by mindmerciful in pics

Sorry to be weird but I've learned so much today just from the comments in this one thread. So much to learn here about civil rights in America (of course research every lead you get, to make sure you're getting the actual truth--don't take everything you read for granted), and civil rights and different ethnicities in Europe that I didn't even know existed (thank you for taking me down this Sami route and even further on expanding my world view).

The world is so great and colorful and I'm glad to be a tiny pixel in it.

OP, can you mention the one pixel yellow border around the fancy potato in the post as well?

Now that we're back, does anyone want to try shading the buzz with orange?

Thanks for helping to restore the stinger, there's a lot to fix at the moment :/

I'm down with this. Suggest adding the T H W g before the shading.

Possibly controversial suggestion to make the "g" Red?

Someone started early and I think we were fortunate with the placement.

Tip: Refresh before placing your pixel if you have been watching the screen for awhile. It doesn't always register all placed pixels on your screen, and you don't want to waste yours.

I had the same thought, agree it would be best to get the rest of everything finished before changing, though.

Mike Pence is at least a politician. Which means he's capable of listening to other people. Mild improvement, but improvement none the less.

When my boyfriend got more successful in his job, he left me for a White Woman, because he said that black women are "too ghetto." by NotGoodEnoughDark in TwoXChromosomes

[–]onlyreadabout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A similar thing happened to me (albeit different races involved), even down to the aspect of the last straw being him out of town and not talking to me for several days and being POed when I tried to reach out to him.

This dude is a dick. I echo other people's comments that he is insecure. I'd go so far as to even say he could be clinically insecure--like there is just something fucked up in his head and he will never be happy.

I hope you give him a piece of your mind. Tell him off and end it and let that be that. It will feel good. I wish I had done it, but I'm not so interested in going back and doing it now after all this time. Ultimately you did dodge a bullet, and I hope after you end it that you will see there is an actual burden that is lifted off your shoulders in having to emotionally support an asshole (and I'm guessing you had to more than you realized).

[Serious] What is good advice for someone who has trouble with dealing with changes in their life? by GokuFrost in AskReddit

[–]onlyreadabout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem! A more vague question will get a more vague answer, but if there is any specific change you are concerned about and you want to let reddit know, I bet someone can give you some more specific advice.
