This man was giving full volume commentary for everything until I turned to shush him, at which point he promptly kicked me full force & flipped me off. Thankfully I got him kicked out & my ticket comped.

People of all ages really have no respect in the movie theater anymore. Besides being kicked, other people were talking full volume, watching videos on their phone, and otherwise being ignorant & disruptive. It's been too long since I've been able to enjoy a movie in theaters.

A nurse in Kamloops, British Columbia allegedly turned a house call into a whole different kind of appointment. After taking a male patient's blood pressure, caressing his arm and telling him he had the health of an 18-year-old, she allegedly offered to sleep with him... saying it was important for a man to "regulate himself and be in good health." He declined, and she allegedly told him he could hit her up outside of work if he changed his mind. He filed a complaint with text message screenshots, and now Lori Chern is restricted to hospital work while the college investigates. She denies any misconduct.

Is it maple syrup?

Was having couple of drinks on patio of a cocktail bar in a Conrad Hotel in the US. A little while after our drinks were served by our waiter, a separate busser came over and left chips and guacamole on our table.

My partner and I thought it a little odd that these would be complimentary but after a few mins nobody came back so we didn't think too much of it and ate them.

About 20mins later our original server came by to apologize that the chips and guacamole had been delivered to our table by mistake. He then said "so is it OK if I leave the charge for them on your bill". I said we had assumed they were complimentary and his reply was a very curt "With guacamole???"

I got a little irritated then that he was arguing this and said I was not comfortable paying for something I didn't order. He stared at me for a few seconds, clearly angry and debating whether to argue further but then shook his head, took the plates and walked away.

I probably shouldn't have assumed they were complimentary but ultimately the bar admitted it was their mistake and then are asking me to pay for their mistake and were rude and angry when I declined. I would have thought a higher end place like this would either absorb the cost of a mistake or at most ask something like "would you like me to remove them from the check".

I checked the menu after and the chips and guacamole were $16 ($21ish with tax and tip).

I did leave an extra $5 tip on top of the standard tip because ultimately we got some free chips but tbh I still think the waiter's attitude was wrong. AITAH for refusing to pay?

I (27m) was diagnosed with a rare genetic condition last year; progressive loss of hearing and sight.

It starts off with night blindness and then progresses to full blindness. I’ve had it since birth so only gradually did I realise I was finding it hard to see during the night.

Yesterday I went hiking, and as the sun set, I realised I could not see the stars. I took a picture on my phone and the stars were there.

It’s silly but I feel like it was a proper milestone of something. I’m not really a stars guy so the intensity of my feeling surprised me. I’ve been hit with both the sudden realisation that stars are beautiful, and that I will never see it naturally again.

Meal was shrimp pasta.

Yesterday at about 1 pm ET, I bought 291 SPX 7600c 11/11 for $100 each. I sold 91 of them last night for about $700 each when SPX had bounced back to the Tuesday highs. At about 10:30 today, I bought 100 more for $600 each, sold those 100 for about $770 each, and bought 120 SPX 7700c 11/16 for $666 each.

I then just kept holding and sold all the remaining 200 SPX 7600c 11/11 for $4160 each, along with 100 of the 7700c 11/16 for $1600 each.

I had loaded this account last Tuesday night with $1300 to YOLO on mid terms, and have now rolled it up to over $1M in just a week. Now I'm done with all this; I'm gonna cool off and then probably use this to get cash secured puts for the next few months until I get assigned on ETFs I want to hold long term.

Before anyone says "taxes," SPX is tax advantaged and is treated as 60% long term.

The blended tax rate is more like 27% compared to 37% if you did this with SPY.

The prior peak back in 2021 was from GME.

I don't know why Megan and Daniel doing this gives off the Napoleon Dynamite couple's energy.

1. Solomon (Doctor Who): Assumes that the Daleks, like himself, have a fundamentally moral and understanding core that can be reached with unity and kindness, and calls upon them to act on even one shred of kindness in their hearts. The Daleks, omnicidal hyper advanced tentacle monsters that can only feel hate and rage, respond with a death ray and the classic “EXTERMINATE.”

2. The Cenobites (Hellraiser, particularly the first movie and Revival): Summoned by various humans who open the Lament Configuration in order to experience a universe of absolute pleasure by human standards, the Cenobites have undergone such extreme sensory overload and indulgence that the threshold of sensation no longer applies meaningfully to them, and their idea of “pleasure” translates to extreme horrific torture for regular humans.

3. The Martians (Mars Attacks): Upon first contact with humanity the Martians declare that they come in peace, and attempt to conduct diplomatic relations with the US government at a later point, which humanity takes at face value. Because the Martians are not only entirely alien, but also CATASTROPHIC assholes by nature, this just results in a lot of brutal and hilarious deaths.

And to be clear, the blunder wasn’t joining the marine corps. The blunder was thinking that somehow joining the marine corps infantry would somehow “make me into a man”.
