I usually pay $100-150 for both of us for her birthday dinner
I had 8 drinks and a steak and dessert at a steakhouse [...] it came to $310 with tips

I got in trouble because I was talking to a coworker and saying I can't believe insurance pays for chiropractor visits it's a dangerous scam, and turns out she used to work as a chiropractic nurse and was offended and complained.

my torts prof in 1L went on about how chiropractors were quacks and actively dangerous. The next class he started out with an apology for being dismissive of chiropractors. One of the other guys in the class' dad was/is a chiropractor and he'd gone to the dean and complained.

If we follow the "everyone is fatter than you imagine" rule, it might even be possible that he really wasn't that drunk? Like, he weighs over 600 pounds, and has a liver the size of a small horse.

it wasn’t just André’s size that was legendary.

Friends called him one of the greatest drinkers who ever lived, with him reportedly getting through 106 beers in one night, having a case of wine delivered before a match and easily downing four bottles of wine, 25 beers and a handful of mixer drinks on average after it was over.

My sister and my brother-in-law are awful people they are disgusting human beings who should never have been allowed to reproduce but life's not fair and my sister gave birth to my beautiful niece and my gorgeous nephew. my niece and nephew were removed from their care permanently and I legally adopted them. I'm not going to go into detail about what they did to these poor kids well let's just say it was horrible. One of the most horrible things that they've done was what they named their kids and they're not something old fashion like Gertrude or Eugene no, my niece original name means prostitute and, they named my nephew after a dog from a horror movie. So when I adopted them and filled out the paperwork to change my niblings last name to mine I also changed their first names to. This was over 6 years when niece was just about to turn 4 and nephew was 2 and a half years ago. My sister just found out last week that I changed their names and is going crazy to family and online. I didn't think I was an rear end in a top hat until our mutual aunt someone I respect said that I was an rear end to complete erase my sister and BIL connection to my kids, and now I'm starting to second guess my self

So am I the rear end for renaming my niece and nephew?

Hello, these are my children, Jezebel and Kotaku

I fix broken or old gaming systems nas a hobby and to make a few dollars. I have a pretty decent collection that I love. All of them work but they are delicate. The controllers for my Intellivision for example are very touchy. So I mostly play on emulators for the older games.

My brother has a stepson that he is planning to adopt. I thought I would do something nice and give him a refurbished PS5 for his birthday this year. I took a long time cleaning one up and stress testing it to make sure it worked. I did a great job if I do say so myself. I love that I'm going to be an aunt.

My brother, his wife, and their children were over visiting. We played Mario Kart on my Switch and I kicked butt. My big brother whined that I only beat him because it's a fancy new system and that he could destroy me on N64. Challenge Accepted.

I have a translucent orange N64 console that is one of my pride and joys. I brought it down off the shelf, found the cartridge, blah blah blah, crushed my stinking brother the same way he used to beat me.

My nephew wanted to try so I allowed it. I told him that he needed to be careful because it was an old system and kind of delicate. I didn't even try hard. I didn't even pick Yoshi or use any short cuts. I still whooped the kid.

He was so angry that he picked up.the console and smashed it on the table. It didn't fly apart or anything but it stopped working. And the was a crack in the casing.

I was pissed. I kicked everyone out of my game room and told my brother I was going to charge him whatever it cost me to fix that console. He said it was old and not worth much and he would replace it for $30 from eBay.

I said sure but it had to be the same color. He looked and only found them for about $250.

He said that was ridiculous for an ancient console and he wouldn't replace it. I was upset but I said fine.

I sold the PS5 and used the money to fix up my old console. It's not perfect but it works perfectly.

I gave my nephew a $50 gift certificate for Nintendo for his birthday. I had checked with my brother in advance about his first gift to make sure he and his wife were okay with it so he was expecting the PS5. My brother not my nephew. My nephew thanked me for the $50 and apologized for getting upset and breaking my N64.

Now my brother is pissed because he had purchased a couple of games for the PS5 to give the kid for his birthday. So he will have to go get one since the only one I have now is mine. He said I was an rear end in a top hat to sell a gift. I said he needs to be responsible for the actions of his children. Our parents say we are both being petty.
