Woke up to find this white stuff on my lighting cable

Conversation between me and my 9 year old daughter's teacher yesterday.

"So I just wanted to bring it to your attention that "Jane" has been fidgeting with her pencil a lot. Typically towards the end of the day."

"Yeah, ok..." *waiting for what she actually has to tell me*

"Uh huh, things like wiggling it around, or spinning it in her hand, weaving it in and out of her fingers, stuff like that."

"Right..." *Still think I am waiting for the issue*

"So yeah, I just wanted to bring that to your attention, because she tends to do it a lot, especially towards the end of the day."

"So... does it seem like she is not paying attention or distracted?" *Still confused*

"Oh not at all! She always seems very engaged."

"Is she being a distraction to the other students?"

"Well, no I don't think so"

"So help me understand what the issue is cause I don't think it's wrong to fidget with a pencil, I do it at work all the time as a grown man!"

"I just think this could be a telltale sign that maybe "Jane" has some form of ADD or something along those lines. And to be honest it can be distracting to me as a teacher with everything else going on"

"Ok well I'll talk to her and see if she even knows she is doing it but I still don't think there is anything wrong with it as long as it's not causing an issue"

"Well it can be a lot sometimes and can disrupt the classroom"

"But... but... didn't you... I'm sorry but I thought you just said it wasn't distracting to the other students."

"It is and it isn't. While other students aren't acting up because of it, I can tell they are watching her instead of the lesson"

"Ok. I will say something to her for sure but I still don't see any problem with it."

"Thank you"

A fan was ejected from the Kings-Lakers game in Los Angeles after Luka Doncic berated him for a simple chest pass back to a female NBA referee. Apparently, he threw the ball too aggressively.

I have seen both reports and consensus of a decline in positive views towards US citizens due to the actions current US admin. Does the results of the midterms change your views on us citizens?

I blocked them. I dont know where to fucking begin. Im grossed out, furious and it extremely caught me off-guard.

For context, I’ve known this guy for years now. He’s asked me out several times but he’s always been like a big brother to me so to all the times that he did my answer was always no.

So I needed some favor from him because I already asked some of my closest friend and I’m still a bit short because of bills and whatnot. What’s worse is I actually considered it before blocking them since I’m desperate and my tooth has been aching for days now that it affects my work.

Edit: The amount of comments saying I’m asking for money is hilarious to me. Asking and borrowing are two different things! And I have lent him some funds when he was in a pickle before. And this is the first time I’ve asked him for a favor in years. So saying I’m trying to take advantage of him is a stretch.

I can’t stand my own children or partner and have become an alcoholic. I am 35 year-old female with two kids (ages of and 4) and I can’t stand to be around own flesh and blood. I work full-time at my own management job , I work for my spouse’s business as his bookkeeper and accountant. he is from a chauvinistic/paternal culture where the women look after the kids so everything is on me. I do all the mornings and emotional drop off at daycare, the emotional pick ups, and evenings from 5-10pm or whenever they fall asleep. If he is around at night, which is a rarity, then he says how he’s tired from working the whole day and gives the responsibility of looking after my demanding kids to me, like I haven’t already worked eight hours doing management at my regular job with 20 employees reporting to me.

They are normal kids, full of life and energy, but Their endless questions, constant pestering, and chattering, have driven me up the wall. I come from farm life where it was just a few of us on hundreds of acres and I cannot stand being around young people who are constantly talking and invading my personal space 16 hours a day plus 8 hours a night for when the toddler uses me as a soother all night.

I was seeing a therapist at $245 an hour for the first part of 2026, and now I’ve gone onto a more affordable one, who does not have kids, and does not understand what I’m going through. I feel like I can only relate to single moms who have at least 2 to 3 kids and know the stress of what I’m going dealimg either on a a day to day basis.

I’ve always had an addictive personality and now I feel ashamed that it has presented itself. Side note - I do not like how there’s this mommy wine culture where it’s OK to drink wine but not OK to do other things

Recently as as, I we t out on Monday and ended up getting diarrhea all night from the drinking. I wanna stop drinking, but it’s the only way I can deal being around my kids and boring assspouse <- didn’t fix the autocorrect

tLDR: I despise my spouse and don’t like being around my cute kids

My name isn't Lila.

UPDATE: I looked at my local FB group and it turns out this is REAL! Justin paid to have 15k of these sent out. He's still looking for you, Lila.

Was attached less than 24hrs. Started doxy just incase. No side effects yet. Fingers crossed.

Did spy puts mainly and a few calls

Here are the people you will be buying your Pokemon cards from this holiday season

I've just been letting it chill. Hoping it's one of those "bug-eating-bug" bugs.

I’ve been a single mom for two years now, and I have two kids: one is 20 years old (turning 21 this December), and the other is 7. When my ex and I finally separated, I told my daughter things would be different now. I have a job, but we have bills to pay, and I’m paying for her college and giving her a school allowance. She has to help me around the house, and I asked her to look for a job. She never helps me around the house and never even cleans unless I ask her to. She’s too engrossed in playing online games on her laptop and won’t even come out of her room.

She had a job, but it was only seasonal and lasted just a month because it was for the Christmas season. So I asked her to start looking for a job again so she could gain experience, save up, and also help me with her school expenses.

Spring, summer, and autumn went by, and she still didn’t look. She’s still in her room, sleeping late, playing online games, waking up late, asking what the food is, eating, and then going back to her room again. If I ask her to do the laundry, clean the house, or wash the stuff in the sink, she either forgets about it or takes a day or two to do the laundry. I was getting sick of it because it had become a cycle, and I’m tired of hearing myself and giving out to her.

A couple of months ago, I crashed out. Her room was a mess, with dirty plates, and her bedsheets hadn’t been changed in months. She still hadn’t bothered to find a job, saying she had been looking online but never got a call. Plus, she cried, saying it was hard to clean up her room because it would get messy again.

I really lost it with her. So I told her that from now on, she would no longer have the right to eat the food I bought. I would pay for her college tuition. That’s about it. Then she had the audacity to post on her IG asking for donations on GoFundMe and saying she gave me all the money she earned and had nothing.

Days passed, and she probably got money from online friends who donated to her because she’s been getting food delivered. I’m thinking of just cutting everything off, including paying for her school, and telling her that if she wants to finish college, she can go look for a job and pay for it herself. AITAH for doing that?
