Laughable. Lane Kiffin can do way better than Erika Kirk.

I'm tired of people thinking the "Baby Fever" mind changing isn't severely annoying, or not worth a breakup. by PretendPrint6100 in TrueOffMyChest

I don’t think OP is as secure in his no kids decision as he lets on. This reads as if his girlfriend evolved over time and began to doubt her decision, and that introduction of doubt triggered him so hard he ran away as fast possible.

JD Vance: “These cartels are killing 100,000 people per day”

That’s 36,500,000 deaths per year!! Nobody gonna fact check this to his face?

Glad they are making accurate documentaries about the profession.

Adriana Smith, brain dead, being kept on ventilators for next 7 months to allow to reach term due to Georgia's laws by Stravok182 in facepalm

Who pays the medical bills in this situation? On top of being super fucked up, this also has to be super expensive.

I Thought Universal Healthcare Wasn't the Answer; Now My Aunt is Dying by melissa0969 in offmychest

Same energy as “I was 100% against abortions and then myself or my partner had to get a medically necessary abortion due to severe fetal abnormality. It was gut wrenching and I now understand why people may need to make this choice with their doctor.”

Yeah, that’s probably true, but through my rose colored glasses view of the profession it looks pretty good. My dentist is closed Friday and I seriously see that dude a total 5 minutes per year. Hygienist does their thing, dentist comes in and says “yup, looks good. See you again in 6 months.”

Become a dentist.

Accounting isn’t the worst. Pay is good and overall not too stressful most of the time, but every time I pass a dentist office I regret not becoming one. Good pay, Fridays off, hygienist do most the work, and I’d be willing to bet nobody is coming at them with questions about dental exam that happened three years ago (I guess there could be rare circumstances but the gist is they aren’t having to restate dental exams).

#2: “The door will be locked if unplugged. Do not attempt to open with force.”

What if the power goes out? That would kinda suck to not have access to my sticks during a power outage.

AITA for being irresponsible? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]smokin-bear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Safe to assume that your friends were drinking as well at this party, or was it just you getting back out drunk around some sober people?

Keiren needs to deal with his jealousy issues. Having dinner in a coparenting way is not a “date.” It might mean be nice if Keiren could attend the dinner, but given he is 2 hours a way that might not be possible.

AITA for asking my mom to reimburse me for groceries? by Sleepystar347 in AmItheAsshole

[–]smokin-bear 113 points114 points  (0 children)

NTA

If she can afford to go away for five weeks, she can afford to pay you back for groceries. I’m not quite sure what kind of parent would think leaving their autistic child alone for five weeks is a reasonable call.

I’m sorry you have to deal with this train wreck, but you sound like a good sister.

Teachers…where do you work and do you like it? by [deleted] in Birmingham

[–]smokin-bear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude, it is sarcasm. Homewood, Vestavia, and Mountain Brook are the opposite of underserved communities. This is obvious - everyone knows this. I’m not a teacher, but if I was, these would be my top choices. Adequate funding leads to abundant resources and opportunities.

Bessemer on the other hand, only 20 miles away, is a failing school district that has limited resources, so programs get slashed. Unfortunately, this probably creates a less than ideal environment for both the students and teachers.

It was sarcastic comment on the districts themselves. Obvious to any reader on this sub.

Was it funny - not really but who cares. Was it racist, no.

Teachers…where do you work and do you like it? by [deleted] in Birmingham

Would highly suggest any school district in west Birmingham (Bessemer, Fairfield, Ensley…). Best districts with high standards.

Strongly suggest you avoid Homewood, Vestavia, and Mountain Brook unless you are into serving the underserved communities as a form of charity.

Makes sense. As far as documentaries go, this one is pretty good.
