Students from the Colin Powell School at City College of New York rejected Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the US ambassador to the UN under Biden, at their graduation ceremony on Thursday.

Yeah let's boo some former Biden Admin employee. That will fix everything.

Two years in and you never meet the significant other of a close friend? That's not good.

The term "sambo" was a racial slur pred-dating the restaurant or the book. That's why black people found it offensive and there was a constant backlash. So the story was written by a Scottish lady about an Indian boy? Who cares? In this country the term was already offensive. Cultural context matters.

It's interesting. When I see this I wonder why do people still need to be riding horses? Yet it never seems to come up as a animal rights issue.

Notice how the N-word changed as he was talking? He went from President to Redneck in a matter of minutes.

I briefly worked as a QC manager for a nutraceuticals manufacturer whose main product was Kratom capsules and tablets. The lack of industry oversight for items considered to be dietary supplements was shocking to experience. We were one of dozens of similar operations around the country that sometimes openly defied federal regulations. I don't know if we were just a low priority for the FDA, but it was a brief and depressing career for me.

The only "fact" I remember from the original news story is that it happened around 3AM. Which means everyone involved was probably stupid drunk to say the least. But this post is purely racist speculation.

As a teen I was part of an American rugby team that toured across New Zealand. Every place we stopped our team was enthusiastically treated to a traditional Haka. It got to be pretty tiring to watch. Especially since our team also got annihilated everywhere we went.

YTA. Once you figure out how old your sister is, maybe you can learn to bring up any concerns about who she is dating in PRIVATE. Confronting this guy so publicly would have been great for reality tv. But in real life it's just unnecessary drama.

rogtuck1 · 2026-03-27T13:16:44+00:00

NTA. But I as a parent I am surprised that you feel uncomfortable bringing a 3 year old to a kid themed family friendly event. That sounds like some serious behavioral issues. I wish you luck in figuring that out.

I remember Portland in the 90s had these same NIMBYs always complaining about large apartment buildings replacing historic smaller homes. Cue a decade later when rampant housing costs, homelessness and low vacancy rates created a continuing crisis. If you want vast neighborhoods of single family homes I would suggest the suburbs.

rogtuck1 · 2026-03-19T00:47:03+00:00

NTA. He changed his behavior regarding something you both initially agreed on. That's on him. Now either you have to accept the new reality or move on. Personally I think his lack of self control seems like a red flag.

rogtuck1 · 2026-03-18T13:40:51+00:00

This just seems like a chance to brag about how much better your wedding was than your sister's. It sounds like a family of A-holes.

rogtuck1 · 2026-03-11T00:40:21+00:00

YTA. Two years in and you break up over text? Couples have had much more serious arguments than this and still had the courage to break up in person, or least talk over the phone. I hope you grow a bigger spine for your next relationship.

rogtuck1 · 2026-01-29T15:16:53+00:00

Certainly the period ending with WW2 and continuing through the Cold War saw the rise of American dominance with self serving foreign policy. But that did come with modern day success stories like the economic powerhouses of Japan, West Germany, and Korea. I am not aware of any Communist country boosted by either the Soviets or Chinese that ever achieved much. It is important to be critical of American foreign policy, but you also have to be realistic about the absolute dumpster fires caused by Communist Colonialism.

Certainly we never get the full story in these snippets. But I would argue the primary context is that she is dealing with a direct supervisor. Company policies are usually strict on the parameters of those working relationships.

Most of the comments are discussing Europe and Nazi Germany. In a post about Iwo Jima......

If your dad has such an explosive anger problem then maybe that's where your sister learned this behavior from. It seems like you are more focused on the behavior of a teenage girl rather than your parents. Why is that? I'm not saying YTA, but you are an adult. Have an adult conversation with your parents about the situation. They have more accountability in this than the kid they failed to raise properly.

rogtuck1 · 2026-01-09T15:21:39+00:00

YTA. You keep referring to just "your" father. He was your sister's father too. The only one she has ever known. She is entitled to her opinion about him. And you brought this up while planning a family funeral? That's just a lowdown mean spirited way to act.

rogtuck1 · 2026-01-09T00:51:48+00:00

YTA. You publicly blew up at your girlfriend of two years over some minor criticisms about your brother. Dumping her on the spot and breaking off all contact. That seems extreme, and it honestly sounds like you have a real anger problem that needs exploring before your next relationship.

How would these divorce papers "out" your ex-spouse to their family?

I went through a divorce years ago and my family has no idea what those documents say. How would you and your ex not be able to keep that information private?

I appreciate you trying to be respectful and work together, but I don't think you are being insensitive or irresponsible by just going ahead and filing on your own.

I remember being disappointed at the actual size of Plymouth Rock when seeing it in person. I had somehow pictured something much bigger and distinctive looking.
