Which is hilarious because Gay Day has been going on at Disney parks for thirty years and they still don't call it that or really acknowledge it at all. They make sure to fill the shops with rainbow merchandise though. And yeah, I put that Fastpass episode of Defunctland on while working and ended up being glued to it, especially when the twist came along. Definitely recommend the channel.

AITA for accusing my daughter's mother of making me a deadbeat?quote:So, I (44 M) am fairly well off. I'm high up in the company where I work and money's no problem for my wife (33 F) and our two kids. When I was 17, I wasn't the type of person that you'd want to be a father. My own father was a terrifying presence. I almost flunked high school. My high school girlfriend Sofia left me after I got held by the cops one night and in a double whammy, she moved to Scotland with her dad for university in Edinburgh. Update: AITA for accusing my daughter's mother of making me a deadbeat? quote:I figured that I’d post an update since I’ve met with my daughter Inessa and her mother Sofia again. I went to the city that Inessa lives in for a business trip and she agreed to meet me. I went to Sofia’s home and took the time to talk to Sofia while Inessa was changing. I did what most of you (and my wife) recommend and apologized to Sofia. I told her I was hurt I couldn’t be there for her and Inessa but that she did an incredible job, better than I would have been able to do before I got my life on track and I admire how much stronger than me she is for doing it all despite all she faced. This brought tears to her again but thankfully she hugged me and forgave me.

AITA for telling my sister that it was rude to invite her husband’s friends to the resort where we’ll be having our destination wedding?quote:My fiancé (m29), and I (f27), decided that we want to do a small destination wedding in Cancun instead of a traditional wedding back in the states. My sister (f25) just got married in October and there has been a lot of tension between not only her and I but between my fiancé and her now husband. I was also in her wedding and didn’t put up a fuss about all of the bridesmaid related things, as it was her day and those were her choices. We are trying to plan our guest list with a travel agent and the resort has put a cap at 40 people total to attend the wedding, so we have only invited immediate family, close friends, and plus ones. My sister and her husband have openly expressed they don’t support our marriage, they don’t support the idea of the destination wedding, and my sister’s husband has even said he won’t go due to it being out of the country.

Having a lovely relationship is easy, at least in the sense it doesn't take a lot of proactive work or consideration.

keeping a relationship healthy is work, as it's a living thing, like a plant, and just like a plant it will have immediate, sudden needs you can't ignore or it will die but yeah, that doesn't you should have to 'fight' or push against yourself/your partner in misery to keep it together. it's already hard enough, without enjoying it, what the gently caress is the point?

And even the guy being mad at first came from the fact that he wanted to be able to do good for his kid but couldn't because he didn't know they existed, which is a real mind gently caress even if he reacted badly. Which he totally admitted to once he calmed down, to everyone!

A lot of boomers have huge chips on their shoulders that current generations aren't really feeling forced in this idea of getting married and having kids because it's what you're supposed to do. They raised 3 kids they barely tolerated and stayed with their horrible nag wife so the kids would have 2 parents and now people just... aren't!?

drat that story was so heartwarming and genuinely made me feel good. Anyway, fresh haul from the trash mines! I (26F) found out my now husband (27M) used a hidden recording device while we were casually dating quote:Hi Reddit, posting this to a throwaway account to protect the privacy of those involved. I’ve been married to my husband for ~2 years now, and we dated for ~2 years before getting married. Before dating, we started out as casual FWB’s, both seeing other people and too busy with work to try anything serious. Fast forward to today, when I stumbled upon a hidden spy camera in his Amazon purchase history (now that we’re married we share an Amazon account). A hidden spy camera that sat on his dresser next to his bed for the duration of our FWB relationship. Oh yeah he totally forgot about that app and everything. Never once opened it or looked at the contents in 4 years, just let this app full of video files take up space on his phone for that long. I mean his immediate apology after being caught pivoting into how he couldn't understand why his wife would be upset about him having a bunch of videos on his phone of him loving other women that were taken without their consent or knowledge is just so genuine and totally doesn't seem like he was caught out doing something he shouldn't have done in the first place.

Can you train a bird not to poo poo just anywhere it wants? I'm under the impression that it's impossible.

To be fair if you could just poo poo wherever and then fly away with 0 consequences for you while someone cleans it up would you accept training to only poo poo in one place?

Apparently the idea that birds can't hold it in at all is a myth, and they can/will choose to poo poo at specific times/locations. The trick is that they need to poo poo once every 15 minutes to once every hour during the day, depending on the size of the bird. So it's more a question of holding for a few minutes than waiting 'till the afternoon cage cleaning is done.

So it's more a question of holding for a few minutes than waiting 'till the afternoon cage cleaning is done. Yeah, this. I just have cockatiels, but they make constant small poops. It's just how bird digestion is. That said, I can ask them to poop on command, but most of the time they just lean off whatever they're sitting on and let loose. Fortunately, healthy parrot poop is relatively inoffensive and doesn't have any sort of strong smell. Mammal poop is kind of nasty because mammals tend to rely on bacterial fermentation for digestion, and birds generally don't. I just wipe it up with a Kleenex. They yell at the Kleenex, for some reason.  None of this holds true for morning poops, because they've been holding it in all night and now they're awake but gotta take a big dump first, and those are the absolute worst.
