Immediate family? No. The only other sibling is his sister and she's 20-ish. She does baby sit in fairness to her. Widening net to cousins etc none stepped forward. They definitely are there on my wife's side at least. Not sure about his side. (1595)

NAH. It's a devastatingly sad situation but your wife is doing what's best for her and you're doing what's best for the children. I can't get my head round your wife saying no either BUT she's not an AH for it. Some people really don't want kids and that's their right. Unfortunately, you may have to choose between them. (323)

This is the correct response. You have not been an butthole. it's a tragic situation that said, she is not wrong either.This will most likely end your marriage and it's a tough spot you have to choose. She made it clear upfront her view of her life. You agreed to that view. Your view changed hers didn't. So you either go back to the lines you both drew together or get ready to start drawing lines without her. She's not wrong or a bad person for this. If you choose her you have to do it under the pretense you can never resent her for this. Can you do that? If you chose the kids and your marriage ends, would you ever resent the kids? There is not an option here that is not going to leave you with massive "what if" questions. Only you can decide what's most important. You are not the butthole unless you resent your decision and others suffer for it. She's not the butthole cause she is just keeping her word about what her life view is. There's nothing wrong with that.Edit due to the 100+ r... (795)

Just because she doesn't want to do want you and op wants her to, doesn't make her a bad person. A bad person, is trying to force your beliefs onto others then, slandering them when they refuses. (1)

I had a small role in recruiting this man. He'd spent the last ten years leading engineering teams on a consumer product you've probably used, and he's just arrived in DC to work with the federal government. He started on Monday, and it's now Thursday night. I run into him at an event. He arrives late, and looks shellshocked.
How's it going? He's struggling to put words together. I'm worried. "I just left the office. I think everything's going to be okay." What is he talking about? "For the first day and a half, nothing. Then it was 'go to this agency and help them with this thing. It needs to go live on Thursday and there's a problem.' Yes, there was a problem. The data the service relied onโฆ.I've never seen a database like that. Ever." What do you mean? "1993. The guy couldn't find any other way to make it work. The vendors would have taken too long even if someone could justify the budget. So he just hacked it at nights and over weekends. Used whatever he could find and taught himself how to use it. The machine is ancient. The software has just been running since then. I'm amazed he managed to keep it running this long. It's a miracle. Either no one knew, or no one cared โ my guess is that they were just happy to have something that worked at all. The guy's been keeping this going like thisโฆI meanโฆI had no ideaโฆI've never seenโฆ." He's shaking his head and looking past me.
What happened? "First we just had to make sure we could get the data out somehow, make sure we had a copy. I mean, these recordsโฆthey're the only copy. The whole system relies on this. People rely on this. To help real people. People who need help. If it had failedโฆ" He really is in shock.
"I'd just never seen anything like this. I was afraid if I even touched it, it would all go poof. We got it out. It's okayโฆ. It's okay nowโฆBut this guyโฆHe's been keeping this together for 23 yearsโฆ"
For a minute, I worry that he's angry. And that he might be angry at me for encouraging him to take this job. But I look in his eyes and it's not anger, it's awe. Respect. Admiration and gratitude for a public servant who has achieved the impossible. Made things work in spite of the rules, not because of them. "He made it work. He's the only guy who can run it. He knows it wouldn't work without him so he's deferred his retirement. I meanโฆhe's extraordinary."
Extraordinary. A Silicon Valley technologist, the kind of person we champion as a savior of government, thinks that a career civil servant beyond retirement age with sorely outdated technical skills is extraordinary.
That career civil servant's name is Jed. The system he started building in the 1980s and maintained for decades before my friend came along was called VACOLS, the Veterans Appeals Control and Locator System. It started out serving just 400 users, and expanded to 17,000 across multiple parts of the VA system. Logic Magazine later interviewed him, and the backstory is well worth a read.

Ohhhhhhh. I get it now! It's okay to give preferential treatment to minorities and women because shit was unfair for them, checks notes, fifty years ago. And because there's an unproven possibility that some employers are being racist in one direction, we have to not only allow, but encourage, the rest to be racist in the other direction. Cuz balance. Yeah, man, makes total sense. This is good racism. (0)

Adding more drama
This is why I physically assault any ford driver I encounter who's smaller than me
Then they should sell it and buy another car as quickly as they can. I'm sure busted windows and spray painted peepees and swastikas can drive the value down, if the rain hasn't already.
If you bought a Tesla in the past two years, you deserve it.
Yes. People sell cars all the time. It's totally normal. You can sell a car you still make payments on. It's not a hard thing to do.
Dude. They're Nazis trying to monopolize the market. We should absolutely not be supporting them as Americans regardless of your views on electric cars. We don't need Elon for that.
I'm very sus of people who still have their Teslas.
why?
That virtue isn't going to signal itself
Ford was an actual nazi. Does that mean everyone driving a ford is one too?
Nobody who bought a Tesla is struggling lmao the base model is $42k.

these birds are so r-slurred. first, which pervert ornithologist named them this? disgusting. boobies, tits, peepees, shags. what is wrong with these people?
second, i HATE that their beak is concealed like that. they look fricked up and deformed. also disgusting. beakless freaks. debeaked. GIVE HIM HIS BEAK BACK!!!
they are lekking birds, which basically means to Get B-words, a bunch of males gather in a group (called a lek) and desperately display for the females. however because they are r-slurred they often forget about the females and start fighting each other.
also, peepee-of-the-rock leks are fundamentally useless imo because there's a single Chad Male that gets almost all the females, and the rest of the incel males get nothing. lmao

OP
Top comments all point out that reddit intellectuals were tricked
It's like they don't even care that the GOOD guy got punched!
Redditors seem to not understand that anti-fa means they can't be fascist. Did the conditioning break?
It's like they don't even know the Paradox of Tolerance! It's actually a moral imperative to attack people who disagree with weapons!

Also, on his IG page, he wrote that ppl had suggested he looked like he was "on meth" but "they failed to realize heโs been diagnosed with Lyme disease, not only that but had a serious case of chronic mono as well as diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome. Could just be sick.
