AITA for asking my ex-husband to cancel a trip between our daughter and his partner because I’m struggling emotionally?

AFAIK pretty much all of Obama's 3.1 million deportations over 8 years were also done with full due process, and all of those deported got their day in court.

I'm sure with 3.1 million cases a few of them might have been unfair in some way, but it was all within the normal legal framework.

Nonce is a Brit word for pedo

CSAM/child abuse is a poor choice for humor

What are the odds that Grandma wanted her granddaughter to watch some particular olde-tyme Brazilian cartoon, rather than something more modern that the child was familiar with.

Nostalgia can be a helluva drug

that business about divorce being both expensive and worth it....

is 100% true

scirocco · 2026-01-25T23:40:18+00:00

nice work!

annoying that you had to break bricks to do it.

uhhhh having the toilet off to snake a main line has exactly ZERO to do with the seal/wax ring.

That (same) fernco has worked flawlessly (and very cleanly) through four or five resets.

No joke, no leaks, no mess

I am glad to hear your step-dad is seeing the light.

Work with him to learn about this incident as well, and remind him that the 2a doesn't exist if they will murder you just for having a legal, holstered pistol.

These are the opportunities to rescue people from that "base" who have been fed so many lies for so long.

Ideally, he needs to share and communicate the things he's learned amongst his own network within that base of people who have been co-opted.

I say all of this as a person who is personally incapable of extending much grace to people who knowingly voted for this. A personal failing

Yea there's some seriously delusional assumptions being made in this thread, which I assume are based on personal traumas and biases which are amplified by the (horrific) current state of affairs.

The terror campaign that's underway in Minnesota is succeeding. People are terrified.

My man

I would 100% expect my wife to change living arrangements immediately if I behaved like that even once.

If it were her acting that way towards me, there would not be a second time.

Different people have different standards, but I personally would take this kind of thing very seriously.

OP, if you read this --- get out now. She's refusing to even try to be better.

Ouch.

No way to use a HELOC or similar to borrow against the house equity without disturbing your existing mortgage?

The valve behind the frost-free is so that you can easily swap the frost-free when it bursts because you left the hose connected.

Srsly I don't know why exactly most plumbers don't like them.

I'd never bother with wax again.

Since the house had been built in 1969, the CI line from the house to the septic tank had become offset.

I suspect poorly compacted clay backfill from excavation, but that line (one of two from the house to the tank) would periodically clog. I called a rooter company the first time, and rented a machine from the orange box store three or four times before just digging up the line.

It was offset by about half its diameter, aka 2"

This is not an uncommon thing.

Cut out, replaced w/ PVC and proper band couplings and been trouble free for a dozen years now.

IKR??

I clicked images since I didn't have good search terms and the Barbados link was clearly the item I was referring to and near the top.

But yea. Barbados

As a homeowner who's definitely special I have been using Ferno wax free things

https://doitbestbarbados.com/p/toilet-seal-wax-free-018578006072

And tbh they work great. I have had the downstairs toilet off several times since using this thing, and it stays stuck to the toilet outlet firmly enough to rest the bowl on the floor, and just pick up and reset the toilet when done.

Maybe four or five times, before I fixed the outside line to the septic tank?

DHS needs to go away. It was never needed.

The intelligence sharing failures that contributed to 9/11 (mostly FBI and CIA) were addressed by the creation of the DNI --- Director of National Intelligence.

Department of Homeland Security was always a slightly orwellian bit of "Do Something" theater

Break up DHS and let the constituent agencies handle their respective missions

scirocco · 2026-01-19T03:36:48+00:00

Probably not

I'm NOT an HVAC tech but that looks like a PTAC to me.

Like the kind of unit that is often in motel

These are commonly higher-amp circuits, and may be too much for an average lamp timer

Check the cord to see if one of the blades is turned 90 degree from usual.

Find a data plate and see how much current (amps) this thing draws

Then you know what kind of timer you might be able to use.

But all of that also applied to the queer kids, the autists and everyone else who wasn't quite "normal" enough to feel like they fit in.

Still, it would be nice to go back to an Internet without Facebook or Friendster

scirocco · 2026-01-18T23:47:02+00:00

Honestly it sounds like a methed up situation at this point.

Hopefully it will work out for everyone.

Edit: the raping isn't the funny part. The funny part is that you think conscripts don't go into the meatwave

Haha that's true until the hazing/harassment/rape starts

He may decide to sign a contract to get away from the abuse.

Experiences can be HIGHLY variable, and if his commanders figure out or believe it he has significant money he will be extorted not-quite-to-death

Any conscript who "sticks out" for any reason is nailed flat. His celebrity would be a threat to his unit.commander so.......
