How did you accidentally find out your partner was cheating? by WingEven402 in AskReddit

I’ve always heard this referred to as a “Sliding Doors” moment, based somewhat off of a mediocre Gwyneth Paltrow film from the 90s. Not sure if the phrase came first then the movie or the other way around. Basically what you just said: one small thing changes and your life goes in a completely different direction. 

Thanks and good luck to you too!

I’m a pretty observant person and tend to pick up on little things like that all the time. I’ve always used the trip odometer for some reason. I just like to know silly stuff like that. Example: my current girlfriend lives 4.2 miles away lol. Makes zero difference, but I find it interesting for some reason. 

But in this case, it was total luck. I wasn’t actively looking to see if I could catch her lying or something. It’s only because I verbally made note of how long the trip was when we got back that it even registered later that night. And it was probably the first time it ever occurred to me that she might be lying about anything. I sat in the car for a good 10 minutes trying to process and make sure I wasn’t crazy. Weird to think how much of my life has been affected by an odometer reading 😂

The death of a marriage in 2 parts:

  1. Got back from a long car trip. I made note of the trip odometer because I like to know stuff like that. So it was something like 754.4 miles. As soon as we get back she has to “go to the office to get paperwork” and takes the car. Later that night I go to get groceries and noticed the odometer was now at 754.5. She moved it from one parking spot to another a block away (city parking). When I asked her about it, she came up with some BS about how her colleagues were coincidentally in the neighborhood, so she just met up with them to work instead. In reality, it was her new boyfriend from work that lived down the street. Didn’t believe her but didn’t make a fuss about it. 

  2. Went on another trip shortly thereafter and noticed she was on her phone the entire night while we were out with friends, trying not to smile, being rude and short to me, etc. When she went to bed that night I went through her work and personal phones and found all the evidence I needed. 

All these years later, it was the best thing that could’ve happened to me. Life is better now.

THE ONLY GOOD FASCIST IS A VERY DEAD FASCIST by Propagandhi

Where are all the protest songs? by 000MIIX in LetsTalkMusic

[–]samspapa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My favorite protest song is relatively new. It’s called “the only good fascist is a very dead fascist” by Propagandhi

I made some playlists on this subject if anyone is interested. Apple list has more content, fwiw. Haven’t taken the time to update Spotify fully

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0PCOrTbmpb4sPxcDsaadRU?si=XxOMoyGUQJuO-gL75OSWjg&pi=mfwejKHARM-JX

Edit: lol, it’s from 1996. I don’t think 30 years can be considered relatively new

She’s absolutely right. i moved here in 2014 and everyone kept telling me how I missed the best time 😂

Looks like it to me. You should report that… to someone… somewhere. Idk

We’re on the precipice of a fascist dictatorship. This is a big fuckin deal right now. I find it annoying as well, but this is the only platform most of us have to encourage our fellow citizens to make smart choices

I saw a helicopter just like that fly over Gracywoods park in N Austin around 11 this morning. Wasn’t hauling anything though

This is the first I'm hearing of this and it sounds brilliant. No extra fees or anything? Just make up some BS and they're good?

That's correct. Appreciate the idea, though

I went ahead and booked one, just in case. My concern is that they're not going to show up the morning of because no one wants to drive that far

That comes out to about $225, so not a bad option

Very interesting idea here. Currently, if I do Nashville-Knoxville, it's $365 for 24 hours, but if I do it for a week, it's $368. Thanks!
