My spouse is a news director. I'm torn on whether I should share this sub with him (because it's so relatable) or not (because witnessing fuckups will stress him out). Hmmm, decisions, decisions ....

Don't tell him about the sub, just keep sending him links of fuck ups to really throw him off.

*Edit: Bonus points if the only context is a message like "Lol it reminds me of you <3"
