My daughter is in kindergarten. It's a gifted and talented class and she is doing really well. She was very upset that she got this wrong. I asked the teacher. Teacher says it's a ram. I pointed out the goatee and that it's horns are not curved. I pointed out the goat next to the Gg worksheet title. Nope. It's a ram. I asked what the fifth item was that starts with G? It's the girl. I thought that was a doll.

G is for Ram.

Theres other food available, but why is this even put out? University of Minnesota TC, the meal plan is $6k per year and is required your first year. I’m out of state, in-state tuition is about 25k

Close enough

Edited to add: We’re going to make it fit. When he gets home from work tonight we’ll give the people what they want.

In 2026, I paid $270/mo for health insurance + dental. It's no longer available, and this is the cheapest I can get. I also don't qualify for any tax credits.

EDIT:

1. I am entirely healthy, and this rate is based on me not having any doctor's visits in 2027 (besides a physical), no scans, surgeries, etc.
2. This is marketplace insurance.
3. My employer doesn't offer health insurance (sadly)

EDIT 2:

1. I'm in Connecticut
2. A broker I spoke to yesterday saw the same options that I did

I was talking Christmas plans with my coworkers and mentioned that my uncle Serg, who immigrated from Russia in the 90s, makes a huge deal out of Christmas and came up with a bunch of traditions. Before I even finished my sentence, the new guys cuts in with "Actually, its pronounced Sergei, and Russians don't celebrate western Christmas, because it's not a festival for the -oh, what's the word in english, OH- Orthodox religion. I lived in Russia for a while in my 20s, it was a really weird culture shock." We all just nodded awkwardly and carried on, but dude. I will call MY uncle the name he asked me to use, and he may not have grown up celebrating western christmas, but he has for the last 30-some years. Quit acting like you know my family better than I do just because you lived in his home country for a hot second. And don’t act like you forgot the word "orthodox", weirdo.

Edit: Serg's full name is Sergei, so my coworker didn’t correct my pronunciation so much as assume I was mispronouncing it. So using the word "pronounce" in the title was a little misleading. Serg has only gone by Serg for my entire life, I've never heard anybody-family, friends, acquaintances-call him anything else.

As someone who has to make quick notes all the time, its so mildly infuriating having to rotate my note pad after or before every use just to make sure my next note isnt upside down

I mean can't you stay 60 mins without that thing? I'd be terribly ashamed; that's the person that should improve my health? lol

Thankfully I took pictures, I had cleaned out my gallery a week earlier thinking I was in the clear, thankfully I was able to recover the photos. Salesman was being super pushy on the extra insurance, guess they try to get there money by any means.

Assumed I spelled my OWN NAME wrong

For context:
I’m getting married to my fiancée in April. My mom and dad have not been on speaking terms since early 2020 so this will make my wedding a little more tense than I’d like it to be. My parents were never married and did not raise me or my sister. Both of my parents (and my older sister) have asked me for money in the past. My father has stopped after several times of me telling him to and my sister hasn’t asked in a long time. My mother is the only one that still consistently asks for money, even after many times of telling her to stop. As recently as two days before receiving this text. This whole situation makes me feel very cold towards her. Whenever she reaches out after a long time of not reaching out, I know what comes next. She has had a boyfriend for a long time, probably longer than my parents have been separated because she cheated on my dad with this man. I recently asked her not to bring him to my wedding as this will only cause more tension between my sides of the family. This text is from said boyfriend. I feel no obligation to make my mother feel better about our relationship, in fact, she’s lucky to be invited at all. My grandmother will be there in the mother-of-the-bride position because she raised me. Letting her bring this boyfriend would have been quite the accommodation; one that I don’t feel I have to make.

A) Nice typo.

B) The political junk mail is beyond out of control this election season.

C) Is there even a regulation mandating this?!

riding the train in China and the girl next to me gets up, grabs her bags, and just... leaves her cup of water sitting on the tray table. not empty either, like half full. it takes two seconds to grab your cup. it's not even about being tidy, it's just that the seat isn't yours anymore.

I stopped into this Tim Hortons to use the restroom and pick up the iced cappuccino that my mother in law requested. They just installed these hand dryers that play ads while your hands dry. There is no paper towel. I guess I'll just wipe my hands on my pants next time.

The mildly infuriating part is that there didn't seem to be anything wrong with the old hand dryers, but they replaced them with these ad ones, at the expense of not fixing actual problems with the other aspects of the restroom.

Thank you for letting me get that out. I feel better now.

Charging 2 rupees more in name of a discount and calling it a Wednesday special offer

Inflation so bad even discounts cost extra 😭

this after using my account normally for like a few years

I'm not okay with uploading my selfie (followed by my ID) to an already data hungry company like Meta
