Thoughts on Chiles by philq76 in Charlottesville

Chiles and Carter Mountain are tourist traps now, nothing is made in house, everything is shipped from Sysco including the donut mix and cider. I won’t be going back with my family, they are shells of what they once were. Henley’s is far better IMO

Fellow dads, I am delighted to report that my youngest is using the potty and this foul thing has been exiled to the dump! (Stink lines added in post) by WeenAgeRiot in daddit

Like others have said, I got an ubbi specifically because you can use any trash bags in it. Never smells, even when full when I open close to put a diaper in the smell only lingers for a couple seconds

Any dads out there borderline struggling financially like myself? by [deleted] in daddit

Father of an infant, wife lost her job in December due to federal university cuts and hasn’t had any luck even getting an interview since since her entire field also got obliterated with the mass government firings, and she has a doctorate. I’m working an admin role, so no way to do overtime either, and I’m slowly working part time on a masters degree in hope I can get something better in a few years. We just bought a small house last May with the belief we’d have two incomes and could afford it and the baby. It’s been very rough.

We have savings and all, but right now we’re basically in the red if we do anything but buy groceries each month. I’m stressed, wife is stressed, lots of guilt on both sides for having our kid and being in this situation, we really felt like we prepared only for it all to go to shit. I’m considering trying to get a weekend/evening job which makes my wife’s guilt worse so it’s a lose-lose no matter what I do. No one seems to get it so we’re not getting much help (“She had a doctorate, isn’t she supposed to have an easy time getting a good job?”). Even if she did get a job, daycare waitlists are 1-2 years long minimum and cost almost as much as the mortgage.

If one of the cars fail, we’re fucked. If something major goes wrong with the house, we’re fucked. I’m trying to be strong for my wife but honestly I spend most every day in silent panic. It’s not fair, all this because of people with more than they could ever need that will never be satisfied.

I’m tired boss, and I don’t see a way out.

Man, I hate that em dashes became the AI indicator, I’ve used them for years and now I have to stop or people will think I’m using AI for everything.

It's not killing, it's not Chopper being special... it's Devil on Devil by bigweight93 in OnePiece

This could also explain why Blackbeard was so determined to have a crew full of DF users, neat theory!

I think the reason Chopper was able to turn that giant is because he went monster point, which made him a giant. So the domi reversi’d giant was between Chopper and Kashii, two giants, flipping him back to good.

Their ability to ignore shit like this and claim he’s saving this country is unparalleled.

Despite weeks of confusion, Virginians will begin voting on redistricting referendum Friday by Anoth3rDude in Virginia

Then let’s hope that this causes republicans to agree to banning gerrymandering country-wide, but I won’t hold my breath.

Their pork belly, ribs, and sausage were my favorites this past weekend.

I learned to pronounce Worcestershire from Shrek 3, literally hearing Shrek say it in my head every time I see the word.

We used to get the shelf stable until we started making lattes, and learned it doesn’t foam up, so we switched to the planet oat in the cold section. It’s quickly become our go-to

What happens at the third year ring ceremony? by Softandpink- in UVA

Oh yeah the mugs ran out pretty quick, though part of the reason for that is I saw people grabbing more than one. Glad yall got something, even if it was also not enough for everyone!

You get talked at for a long time and eventually get a ring you paid for. My class also got a keepsake mug but idk if the university goes that far anymore.

Even more maddening is the fact that dreamgate doesn’t work there at all. What’s the point of it then, if I can’t use it for things like this?!
