  • Canada's inflation rate stayed flat in November but grocery prices grew at fastest pace in nearly 2 years

    Jump

  • That's incorrect on every level. There is a set "basket of goods" upon which CPI inflation is set. Grocery prices went up, other items went down. The net was zero, but grocery chains are fucking us over for profit because we need to eat to live.

    Why do some Men think all dish washing should be done by their GF or wife? Their help is really appreciated

  • Life and relationships are complicated. You don't know how all the work is distributed in their lives. Maybe she does everything else and feels like he should do more. Maybe he does it all and is frustrated. Maybe they split the chores in a way that makes them all happy. You simply don't know.

    Stop giving advice when you don't know.

  • But he previously said "Sex is for making children. Any man who has sex with women because it ‘feels good’ is gay".... So that doesn't seem to match with him saying you're supposed to have sex with many women for fun.... What the hell is he saying?!?!

  • Ukraine Is Jamming Russia’s ‘Superweapon’ With a Song

  • Yeah that checks out... I probably should have kept digging deeper than just the song. I'm just tired of the whole "Ukrainians are all Nazis and Russia is the real victim" bullshit that gets peddled around here.

    Why is socialization so hard in the 2020s?

  • If you're looking for inclusive spiritual community you can look for Unitarian Universalist congregations. They're all over Europe and North America. They're based on progressive values instead of Scripture so you bring your own deity/pantheon/no deity. They're basically a spiritual community for the left from Pagans to Christians/Jews/Muslims to atheists and agnostics and everyone else.

    In my area there are a lot of ageing hippies and a lot of millennials and Gen Z looking for community for their children which is a delightful mix. Lots of LGBTQ+ representation as well.

    Could be a useful place to look!

  • Yes ravens vocalise... That doesn't make the original videos not AI slop.

    Thanks for finding a real video of a Russian crow. Maybe you could have posted that instead of slop. It's not the same crow because this one is clearly real. The channel also doesn't have your "new" video so I'm not sure why you're claiming it's the same crow. Neither the humans, nor the background, nor the vocalizations, nor the crow are even similar.

  • Snatching the 12-gauge over the door with the quickness. [sound on]

    Jump

  • This is AI. The background is weird, especially when it's close to the lady or the Raven. You can look up this video and it's a dozen different YouTube channels with less than 1000 views with the identical clip.

  • Please help me under stand my spouse's gift and their hurt

    Jump

  • Fundamentally this gift is replacing something that has sentimental value to OP. That's not usually a desirable gift. If someone got you a gift that replaced your favorite [thing] in a way that replaces it you wouldn't want it either.

    Cheerfully accepting a gift you don't like is dishonest. Other replies have great honest and tactful ways to accept or reject a gift you don't like. Op's approach was hurtful to their partner which isn't great.

    Returning a gift is normal, that's why stores issue gift receipts. However, it is a situation that requires tact since it's easy to hurt someone if done poorly.

    In the long term, it should be easy for you and your partner to do something special for each other where no one has to fake enjoyment. In OP's case, effort spent communicating now will bring a lot of enjoyment in the future and save a lot of pain.

  • Please help me under stand my spouse's gift and their hurt

    Jump

  • Nobody is a bad person here and both of your feelings are valid.

    As others pointed out, your partner likely put significant effort into the gift and is hurt that the effort was in vain. Compounding that is the fact that you didn't seem to acknowledge their effort or treat their hurt as valid.

    Your hurt is valid. You got given something you don't want and now you feel pressured to accept it to appease your partner. It's in certain ways worse than getting nothing.

    The situation sucks and you'll both be hurt regardless of how you resolve it.

    It's probably going to be very important for you two to work out gifts or gift giving occasions. What do you like to do, for yourself or with your partner. Maybe the answer to that question can be part of the solution.

    For the time being you have a few options. You can keep the gift like the others have said, maybe as a backup. Or you can return it. I suggest that if you return it you spend the money on something you both enjoy, maybe a nice date to sooth the hurt.

    Let your partner know that you appreciate the effort that went into this gift. Let them know that you know you're a hard person to buy for, especially because you're not very consumerist which means that the things typically for sale won't appeal to you. Let them know that it's important for you that you're both able to express love towards each other and that you want to make sure that the next time your partner expends significant effort for you that they're able to create a situation which is rewarding for the both of you.

    Then sort out what you're going to do with this gift. Maybe explain your feelings about using the old device and how the new one can't do that for you.

    Then make a plan to work out the line term goal of how you'll give each other gifts/experiences in the future. And actually do it. It might be a lot of work, but it will probably create a lot of joy in your relationship in the long run where there might have been even more pain.

  • Devastating Report Details How Underage Homeless Girl Allegedly Had Sex With Matt Gaetz For Money to Buy Braces

  • There are always people defending these creeps who seek out the youngest most vulnerable sexual partners they can legally fuck. You don't realise that in saying "he didn't know she was 17" you're claiming this behaviour is otherwise okay.

    An old man, fucking an 18 year old is like a fast food boss paying his employees minimum wage: if you could legally get away with less you would. Finding these creeps "accidentally" fucking children is like the manager "accidentally" entering fewer hours on your timesheet every week. You have to be a real dope to believe it was an accident.

  • Progressives Tell Dems Thinking of Capitulating to GOP on Shutdown: 'You Cave, You Lose'

  • Oh no, you see they're "not rich enough to make a difference", so they're allowed to do nothing. Since the definition is intrinsic to them they'll never be "rich enough" to help and they'll always "help when I'm rich enough to make a difference". So they can always be good people while doing nothing and they can always chastise the rich for "not doing enough" no matter how much they're helping because "if they were that rich they'd help more"

    It's really beautiful actually how perfect the system is.
