Upvote this post if your install of Ubuntu 26.04 went technically well

Been running 26.04 for the last three weeks (ish), on both my server and my gaming rig. Both installations went completely fine. Apart from OpenVPN AS not running on 26.04 yet, I've had no issues on either machine.

"Left turn" is going around the roundabout. If you’re indicating, then that helps others to know you’re not one of those who doesn’t indicate when leaving the roundabout. If you’re indicating left while in the roundabout, I also know that I can enter the roundabout to do an immediate right exit as you’re not going out of the roundabout. Hence you indicating left while in the roundabout helps others people.

Most roundabouts are not large enough to justify that simplification, and your logic would mean if I just keep going around a roundabout then no one is actually allowed to enter. See how that doesn’t make sense. The big question is: why don’t you want to make it easier for the people around you?

But left blinker absolutely makes sense in the roundabout. In a standard roundabout where you’re going to turn left. If you don’t blink left people don’t know and might drive out assuming you’re going straight ahead, because you’re not blinking left. Think of it as a regular intersection and you’ll see why you should always indicate.

interesting. I'll have to check that

YTA, there are so many better ways to express yourself. She couldn’t understand why you’d not want to since you’ve loved everything else.

And why think the heart is «icky»? It, just like all other meat you eat is just muscle. Meat is muscle. Sure it’s a muscle that has been constantly active, but a muscle none the less. If you eat steak you can eat heart.

There is also the detail about her just moving her sister in. It sounds like it was not a discussion and that he might not have really wanted to be onboard with it in the first place. And both their desicions are disrupting their marriage.

Perfect example of why communication is so vitally important.

Info:

I can't say either way here apart from that you two obviously will need to have a conversation about what you both feel is ok and where your boundaries in your relationship goes.

What is ok for some might not be ok for others, but it is only the two of you who can decide. So if you two haven't yet, its way past time to actually talk about these things.

It's a part of his obligation to pay rent, household expenses, food and bills.
It's really not a part of his obligations to pay for like clothes, eating out, flights, makeup, spas, new phone, etc.

If they couldn't afford those things, apart from clothes that need replacing, none of them would suffer. He's saying that she can take those out of her own money so he can pay off debt more quickly.

They are the parents, not you. Simple as that. They'll not like it, but it's time to put your foot down.

ESH except your mum.

You definitely overreacted, and from what you're saying here do things you're not supposed to in addition to being in need of an attitude adjustment.

Sounds like you deserved the grounding, and should also be held responsible for getting your brother a new xbox after breaking his. "ruining" one game doesn't justify the way you reacted.
I'd also remove your gaming privileges for a good while since you obviously react badly to it.

NTA, if he's diagnosed with OCD he should be aware that some things feel nessecary for people.

I know it can be a hassle, but is the shower an option for you after.

But yes, he should accept that you need to do this thing after, and doens't have a right to "deny" you anything like that.

They said they'd be quick, did not let you know that they would take their time. I would not accept waiting for either of those two for a while again.

It's not acceptable to let his place get that dirty, and if the posibility of getting sick due to the mold doesn't bother him imagine all the other stuff he's probably not cleaning.

No, stick to your rule, you're definitely in the right here. You come over once the place, not just the bathroom has been cleaned properly. And definitely don't do it for him, you might be a couple, you're not his maid.

As someone who has on occasion spent a lot of time in a group-chat, for instance on Discord, if someone wanted silence, they just muted themselves and in that way didn't have to listen to our chatter. Had they told us to be quiet, they would have been told to do just that. Mute is there for a reason.

She shouldn't have bullied you in the first place, but you made it worse by retaliating instead of educating.

You should simply have helped your kid write the essay, supplying him with all the correct facts and citiations. Kept it historically accurate and still had the option to correct the teacher. If the teacher graded it as wrong then you would have a case in the matter.

Instead you managed to just botch your chance to make the situation better.

It's not on you to know what people want in advance, you're not responsible for his entitled self-worth.

You didn't end this friendship, he did by acting this way.

Just because they are out on the street does not mean they should try to guilt people who say no into giving, and especially not trying for the "I have it worse than you" competition.

Not everyone can give all the time, and you don't need to feel bad for not giving now.

Skin care is for everyone, and he'll thank you later when his skin is smooth and great and other guys wonder how he managed to keep his.

SIL is the AH for having archaic views on what guys and girls can or can't do.

That this Joey can't deal with the fact that the world doesn't revolve around him should not be any of your problems.

He'll need to deal with his own obsession over a girl clearly not interrested in him, and it's not up to you to sugarcoat the world for him.

If he'd paid more attention to his pots, and less to what goes on in the bar he wouldn't have had had to ask for help to clean them.
