@TaliesinEvitel As long as you're not offended when I call you a m****f***er :)

Judging by today's WoW discourse I take it no one will be offended when I call them a cunt on stream from now on?

@AliceThePurple First thing I do when I make a new character and log in is go to chat, create a Trade/Services tab and get those chats out of other channels.

... They really need to have Trade Services be its own tab or turned off entirely by default when you make a new character. Just having your chat log BLASTED raw by spams of this shit the moment they enter a capital city is so bad. An awful first impression for a new player.

I am glad in my state it is explicitly called out that if the mother and father are unmarried, the mother choses the name. And I would recommend keeping an infant's last name the same as the mother's if the parents are unmarried. Otherwise the mother will have to prove they are the parent over and over again with the schools, sports, doctor's appointments, etc. Its a hassle.

This girl on Facebook said... My boyfriend and I have been together for TEN YEARS. Since high school! Now we're having a baby, and he still refuses to marry me because of some 'familial issues' he has with marriage. So naturally, I want our baby to have *my* last name. Why wouldn't I? I even suggested hyphenating it, just to be fair. But everyone around me is telling me I'm 'dead wrong' for even thinking this. Like I'm being unreasonable. I just want to share a last name with my own child, especially when he won't commit to forever. Am I really the villain here????? 🤔

@HealthcareREguy HAHA, no I don't understand why my grocery prices are going up while at the same time the portions are shrinking. AND the corporations are recording record profit and the cashier isn't getting a raise bc 'the economy'.

Restaurant owner: My costs and are going up, I’m sorry I have to increase my prices. Customer: I understand Contractor: Materials and labor went up, I’m sorry I have to increase my prices. Customer: I understand Grocery store: Eggs, beef, and produce went up, I’m sorry I have to increase my prices. Customer: I understand Landlord: Utilities, materials, and my debt service went up, I’m sorry I have to increase rent. Tenant: You’re a slumlord POS how dare you!!!🤬

@BlizzardCS @ayyyyluhmao Wait why can't someone use the Fbomb? There's a profanity filter for a reason. Unless they're typing F..X.X..K or some BS to trick the filter...

@ayyyyluhmao I just looked at the logs, Cody. You seem to have a fondness for dropping F bombs. Even one, if reported, is enough. ^PJ

its actually impressive how this company owned by a company worth over 2 trillion dollars cant have a support system that doesnt just spew AI written bullshit back to me how are you this fucking terrible dude @BlizzardCS @Blizzard_Ent @Warcraft

As someone who has had friends who have handled the in-laws in different ways and also how I handled my in-laws, I can say it 100% has to do with the power dynamic between the MIL and the new mother (and how the husband/new father acts). If MILs want to come see the newborn and new fathers want them to, they should be sure to not criticize, judge, or make comments about anything related to the state of the house, the new mother's looks, etc. BC I loved having my MIL there within hours of me giving birth. Because she was supportive of ME throughout my pregnancy and didn't just concentrate on the baby. She did the same in hospital. First thing she said was how is our new Mom doing, etc. But a close friend said she'd not let her MIL come again after the MIL burst into the room, kept insisting on holding the baby as the new mother was trying to learn how to get the baby to latch on. Her MIL acted like the new mom didn't exist other than to be an inconvenience. She wouldn't knock, she'd burst in when she was trying to breast feed. She'd then criticize everything the new mom was doing, how she was holding the baby, etc. And when my friend had to get up to use the facilities, her MIL mocked her for 'shuffling like an invalid' and other things. And honestly after many in our friend group heard about that and as they were having their first children they thought about it and some put down guidelines and if the MIL was combative or dismissive, they weren't allowed to visit the hospital room. I mean I even had to tell my own mother that I only wanted certain people in my hospital room immediately after giving birth and I had said no to my brother and a few other of MY family being in the delivery room before I even went into labor. And she asked when I was in labor and I flat out told her I would say when I was ready and if she asked again, she wouldn't be welcome in the delivery room either.

Please actually read what she is saying and don't just let your knee jerk reaction take over. Yes I know lots of women are annoyed by their in laws. Just have some boundaries (for all visitors postpartum) and you will be fine. It's disrespectful to your marriage to keep your husband's family away just because they are his family and not yours. You should not keep your husband's parents from meeting the baby for an unreasonably long time period unless they are actually dangerous (in which case you probably shouldn't let them meet them at all so this whole conversation is moot). I see women in due date groups not letting their in laws come over at all for weeks while the maternal grandma is over daily. That's rude! Think about how that makes your husband feel! Think about how that impacts your relationships long term!

@jane_autism @maternalgroyp IT LITERALLY IS ABOUT THE PERSON WHO JUST PUSHED A NEWBORN OUT HER VAGINA (or had it cut out of her abdomen). It is ENTIRELY about their comfort.

@maternalgroyp So it’s about your comfort then, not needing actual help.

Isn’t the main difference that you are laying there naked, bleeding, milk leaking, and your own mother has seen you naked and it’s your own bloodline but your inlaws it would be way more awkward and inappropriate? Why is waiting an extra 24 hours until you go home and are dressed, settled in, etc. for them to come see the baby a huge deal ?

@jane_autism @maternalgroyp My mother helped me. That's what mothers have been doing since the beginning of time. Doulas and nurses were for when your mother wasn't available or needed more assistance.

@maternalgroyp lol are you having your mom apply your perineal pads post birth? Or will she help you with your baby latching? Or pumping? Or whatever other bodily fluids/healing process you are going through? If you are that’s kinda weird ngl (bc that’s what nurses/doulas do)

@Lestan21 @RealPostFolder Did he send his playstation in for warranty repair? Take it to a repair shop? Google issues? There are just as many ways that may fix his problem as there are ways that may fix hers...

@RealPostFolder Has she restarted her pc? Has she tried doing an OS refresh? Has she tried adding more RAM (current prices notwithstanding)? There are like 100 ways to fix her problem that don't involve buying a whole new device. Even just updating and uninstalling things can fix these problems

@Herotherogue ennui, nihilism, jaded, apathetic are a few good ones. But basically its called not being a boomer and simply exhausted pushing the damn boulder up a hill that keeps getting taller, steeper and is covered with lube.

Asking for a friend

I mean it is better to be forgotten completely instead of having your husband ask what you'd like to do for Mother's Day, you tell him you'd like to go to X place as a family for brunch and maybe buy some marigolds and plant them together in the afternoon. Simple, clear, not that expensive. Then wake up to a crayon drawing of a marigold (by him not my daughter) and a 'surprise' trip to go see his mother. Then the surprise pikachu face he made when I say I'm staying home with our daughter and going to go buy some marigolds with her. And then later hear him say that I'm "hard to please and never clearly say what I want even when he asks me" and that he 'got her the marigolds she wanted'....

in the break room this morning while his coworkers talked about brunch reservations and thoughtful gifts, and I hope he had to mumble, “Actually… I didn’t do anything.” Sometimes public embarrassment is a more effective teacher than any argument at home. Maybe next year he’ll remember that Mother’s Day applies to the mother living in his house.

I hope my husband had a very uncomfortable day at work today. I hope all of his female coworkers asked what he did for me for Mother’s Day. And I hope he had to tell them the truth. Nothing. No flowers. No card. No breakfast. No last-minute grocery store bouquet grabbed on the way home. Nothing at all. Meanwhile, I am the mother of his children. The same children I carried, delivered, and continue to keep alive on a daily basis. I didn’t even want anything extravagant. A handwritten card, a cup of coffee, or somebody else loading the dishwasher would have been enough. Instead, the day came and went like it was a random Tuesday. The most impressive part is that he genuinely seemed surprised when I was hurt. So yes, I hope he was standing in the.......

Name a game without R, O, or G in the title. Let's see what game comes up the most! 👇

@ThrillaRilla369 Nope, I worked as a server in some nice Italian restaurants.

Everyone has at some point or another worked in fast food… Prove me wrong

How about we start a new law. There should be facilities in each ocean and hemisphere where these cruise ships can dock that are required to have proper medical care and facilities available in international waters. It should be part of a fee people pay to go on a cruise for. If we can't quarantine on the ship, we can quarantine on the dedicated space for these types of quarantines.

Is it just me, or quarantining all crew and passengers on the boat, or even having them evaluated/quarantined in the first place they land in their home country would’ve been a safer choice than having them take multiple flights?!

I mean on the flip side, my department gets to have me in meetings at 7am ET and also at 6-7pm ET on some days. I also don't get a regular lunch hour that's respected like some of my in office friends. Basically since I'm work from home, my company assumes that's all the work life balance I need and they can pretty much schedule conference calls for 8-9 hours straight with one 5 minute break... Most people get two 15 minute breaks and one lunch period of at least 30 minutes in the office and they definitely use it. So if I use the time I saved from having to go to the Starbucks downstairs in my main office to get coffee to make some in my Keurig next to my desk, why can't I use the time to put some towels in the dryer?? Or the mandatory 5 minutes after meetings so that in office staff have time to move to a new conference room if needed? I don't have to move rooms, pulling towels out of the dryer doesn't spend anymore company time than walking up a flight of stairs for a different meeting...

If you work from home, you shouldn't get a full salary since you're basically Babysitting your own life on company time. If you have time to start a load of laundry between meetings, you’re technically a part-time employee.

Here is the thing, I don't open and test everything in my freezer b4 running to the store. If I had been doing a quick check I'd see the carton was in there and since I had kids, I always lift it to judge if it is empty or not, but I wouldn't have ever thought of someone refilling it with a decoy on purpose... That's just wrong. And the thing is, this husband left it in there long enough without replacing it that the story says next day.. Now if he had eaten it at night, his own late night craving and she had 'waddled' to the kitchen at 5am with an early morning craving, I'd understand why he hadn't replaced it yet. But gah, this is disturbing.

One time when I was seven months pregnant, my husband ate my ice cream. That alone was grounds for a serious marital discussion. But he didn’t stop there. Instead of throwing the empty carton away like a normal person, he filled it with water and put it back in the freezer. So the next day, I waddled to the kitchen already thinking about that ice cream. Pregnancy had me planning my entire afternoon around it. I opened the freezer, saw the carton, and felt genuine excitement. I grabbed a spoon, peeled back the lid, and discovered a solid block of frozen water. I just stood there staring at it in complete disbelief. This man had created a fake ice cream decoy and left it in the freezer for his pregnant wife to find. When I started crying, he thought I.........

@lucy_chapar @Suresh_00S @grok Its visible on men too when they are low body weight or have overly toned abs.

@Suresh_00S @grok A neat thing about this line is that it eventually becomes visible in trans women undergoing hormone replacement therapy!

hey @grok why does this line appear in the middle of women's stomach, is there any biological reason behind it? 😭

Dumbasses who don't understand the itemized bill versus actual patient out of pocket bill are partially what's wrong with America. "I have a copay of $500, but I got this bill for $12,342.18, I'll go broke paying the itemized amount instead of calling my insurance and asking and/or disputing the bill."

An American goes to the ER for high blood pressure. He’s there less than TWO hours. No surgery. No scans. The bill comes back at $41,297 — even AFTER he’s paid his FULL out-of-pocket max. This isn’t healthcare — it’s extortion

Depends on the type of seat you have and the actual plane configuration. When economy and the other cabins go different directions instead of just walking through business class to econ, getting on and settled in a nice seat with a drink is a perk. But on most domestic flights/planes it isn't a perk.

Never understood why boarding a flight early is a “perk” Great, I get to sit for an extra 22 minutes in an uncomfortable seat while we don’t move

My employer gets to have a LOT more flexibility for meeting times since I'm work from home. I basically have no excuse not to be able to say yes to a 7am meeting on the same day i have one from 6-7pm. But then I can take a longer lunch break or other things through out the day to get the balance back. If the department I'm in was forced RTO, we'd only really have meetings from 11am-4:30pm since we have people on both coasts and our 'hours' are 8am to 4:30pm local time.

@dhaaruni People get very defensive when you point this out, and swear that they are more productive at home. It’s nonsense, but you’ll hear every argument and spurious “study” imaginable.

100% remote would have probably lasted longer if people didn’t publicize that they were doing laundry and meal-prepping and walking their dogs during their “work” day. Even accounting for in-office water cooler chat and lunch, most people are still less productive at home!
