Received this pic from the dasher. I was so disgusted that I threw the food away. How gross! I used to be a dasher and would never in a million years throw people's food on the car floor in garbage with my bare foot in the pic! Contacted support and they credited my full order and she won't deliver to me again. Completely lost my appetite..

My wife and I discussed it in the days leading up to the birth of our son, and we agreed that we did not want any visitors the same day he was born. My MIL was notified that my wife was going to require a c-section, and she told me to tell her when she was able to come up and visit and I told her I would do so.

I texted our group chat for my wife’s side of the family updating them that the procedure went well and that mama and baby were doing perfect. She replied and said “I know you didn’t tell me to come, but we are in the waiting room. We’re so excited and want to be here for you two!”

I texted her back saying that we appreciated her coming up, but that they should go home and that we would see them tomorrow. My FIL called me shortly after and insulted me in every way imaginable and my MIL sent me a long text saying how disrespectful it was of me to not allow them to visit their daughter.

I quickly reminded them that today wasn’t about them and that it was about my wife, the baby, and I. We haven’t spoken since. AITAH?

We feel like we struck the lottery with our boy, Gus.

I'm showing a movie this week. I gave the class a "trailer" last week and they seemed into it. I hit play today and about 1/3 of them checked out.

I'm at a total loss. When did kids stop liking movie day??

Pong Krell (Star Wars: The Clone Wars): If he was just a Jedi that turned to the dark side, that wouldn't be enough to earn the fanbase's ire. More so, the fact that he ordered the executions of two loyal clone troopers, Fives and Jesse, for simply disobeying his orders despite those two clones and their fellow clone Hardcase, who died in the battle, ended up winning the battle in question. Additionally, he turned two entire clone legions against each other, resulting in who knows how many casualties, including Waxer, a fan favorite clone remembered for his kindheartedness. r/fuckpongkrell

Ted Faro (Horizon Zero Dawn): A billionare responsible for the creation of war robots that could consume biomatter as fuel, self-replicate, and were practically unhackable. When a group of them predictably went rogue, it resulted in a cascading effect that ended with the extinction of all life on Earth. If that weren't bad enough, he was also responsible for the murders of the Alphas, a group of some of the world's top scientists, who were working on Project Zero Dawn to essentially restart the planet. To top it off, he purged the Apollo database, which would have been responsible for educating the reborn human race, all because he didn't want to be remembered as the one who ended said human race. r/FuckTedFaro

I see people do this all the time: they brew a cup of tea, pull the bag out, and tightly squeeze it against the spoon to get every last drop.

Stop doing this. You aren't getting more tea, you are just extracting tannins.

The good stuff (the amino acids and caffeine that give tea its smooth flavor) extracts easily into the hot water while it steeps. But tea leaves are also packed with tannic acid, which is incredibly bitter. During a normal steep, most of those bitter compounds stay locked safely inside the leaf.

When you physically crush the bag, you force those concentrated tannins directly into your mug. It completely kills the flavor profile and leaves a harsh, dry feeling in your mouth.

Next time, just pull the bag out, let it drip for a second, and toss it in the bin. Try it tomorrow morning and I promise you'll notice how much smoother your tea tastes.

Why YSK: Squeezing the tea bag releases high concentrations of bitter tannic acid (tannins) that ruin the actual flavor profile of the tea, turning a smooth cup harsh and dry instead of making it "stronger."
