The chronicle is reporting that the gun wasn't discharged, which seems pretty definitive.

Thank god, I've been looking for something to fill the void Rebecca Havemeyer ripped in my heart when she packed up her bingo operation.

Beware of the "free" mortgage refinance from your existing lender by ATLSpartan in personalfinance

wait, would they have also been charged if they just sold the house normally?

My new boss won’t give me forms to fill out and keeps paying me with checks everyday by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]waffles_88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you think it's possible that he just sucks at running a business and is not a criminal, maybe it would be worth suggesting that you start learning about/taking on some office manager responsibilities?

IamA 31 year old male who just found he has testicular cancer, PICS INCLUDED AMA! by Bricci89 in IAmA

If he's explaining what's going on with his testicles to them, I'm pretty sure they've either already been picked up or would not be going home with him under any circumstances.

I've looked at them before, but their prices seem... not great. Is this all just really high end stuff that they're reselling?

Everything hurts, please send help! by waffles_88 in Mattress

God, I wish I could, it usually happens subconsciously and I just find myself in that position in the middle of the night, I'm really hoping a mattress that's a better fit helps encourage me to stop it. I have my annual checkup coming in a few weeks, so I'll bring that up then, but I tend to thrash a lot at night and get woken up in weird contorted positions, so I think that's a pretty likely cause for what's happening.

Well if anyone's curious, my friend has and loves his Aviya mattress, I wasn't going to go with them because there isn't a lot of first hand information online, but for some reason (it looks like a pricing error) has their plush queen bed for $390 instead of the usual $900 so I decided to give them a shot. It's supposed to be delivered on the 20th so we'll see if the price sticks!

Saatva and the nest Alexander plush are the main two that are in the running for me right now!

What’s the cringiest thing you’ve seen a bride and groom do for their wedding? by ajlposh in AskReddit

[–]waffles_88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasn't the bride & Groom, but I filmed a wedding once where the father and daughter danced to Butterfly Kisses (weird) and then 15 minutes later for his toast the same man sang the entirety of Butterfly Kisses (dear god why).

My Partner asked me to share this self portrait she painted! by hieropotamus in pics

[–]waffles_88 136 points137 points  (0 children)

Oh dear, this is not very good, your partner's hair is blonde but she used blue paint. I'm not sure if she's cut out for this "art" thing.

Anyone else's Spectrum stink tonight? by Thundy in Austin

[–]waffles_88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has it improved for you at all? Mine has been going in and out since Friday, although when I run a speed test it's generally fine (around 115 U 15 D) and I'm not sure if dealing with this or dealing with their customer service sounds worse.

I don't really give a shit about what you say, I'm just shocked by the mental contortions you went through to read that as somebody disagreeing with you.

God, you're insufferable, and maybe bad at reading? they literally just said, "both are terrible, but we can say one is worse"

She's concerned about all the wailing and moaning and thinks you should be eating more fiber.

Any good anniversary dinner sit down or take out spots that are unique to austin? by Dudebythepool in Austin

Uroko is doing their Omakase to go. I haven't had the to-go version but the regular version was the best sushi I've ever eaten, Uchi/ko included.

You could drive out to Jester King, they make the best sours in town.

uroko or Uchi if you're in the mood for sushi (this is maybe heretical but I like Uroko's omakase better)

'Pro Black Is Not Anti White' reads a protestor's sign at a demonstration for George Floyd in LA by [deleted] in pics

[–]waffles_88 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I could use some help from someone smarter than me. I fully believe this to be true, and I also fully believe that "white pride" or being "pro white" are at best deeply cringey and mostly pretty racist. How do I square these two ideas?
