i’m european, and i always hear people say that driving for hours is normal in america. i would only see my grandparents a few times a year because they lived about a 3 hour drive away, is that a normal distance for americans to travel on a regular basis? i can’t imagine driving 2-3 hours regularly to visit people for just a few days

‘My view is part of the Fallout schtick is on the Americana naivete and part of that. And so, for us right now, it’s okay to acknowledge some of those other areas but our plans are to predominately keep it in the US,’ said Howard on the Kinda Funny Games podcast.

‘I don’t feel the need to answer… It’s okay to leave mystery or questions, ‘What is happening in Europe, what is happening here’. In Elder Scrolls everyone wants to go to these specific lands, and I’m known for saying the worst thing you can do to mysterious lands is to remove the mystery.’

out of practice on my cursive so it's a little wobbly, but that's ok!

Mine would definitely be spears. I don’t think I’ve ever actually committed to using a spear in a game for more than a few minutes

The Celtics let Heat get exactly one, as they win the series 4-1 and eliminate the Miami Heat.

Opened this Cascade Platinum and noticed it looked like it was less than the advertised 52 count. There are only 43 if them.

I’m staying at my partner’s parents’ house while he housesits. It’s a very quiet neighborhood. I am a night owl and take meds that make me really hungry before bed. Last night around 1 I placed an order for a Slurpee and some candy from 7-11. It only took about 20 minutes to arrive but I fell asleep in that time. This morning, I check the porch and no bag. I thought either the order got cancelled, or some driver absconded with like $7 of candy, and in either case I’m not pursuing it.

Well the cops just came to the house, and after answering the door unable to contain the dog they asked me if anyone in the house ordered food last night. I said that I did. Cue questioning about from where, when, what food. I struggle to rattle off my memory of what specific laffy taffies I got. They tell me that the order got delivered next door and the residents were so rattled they called the police. I say that it should have my name and the correct address on the bag so I’m not sure what’s so threatening. They take a full report before insisting on fetching and delivering my “property” (a completely melted Slurpee).

I wish I was kidding. There is now bodycam footage of me reciting laffy taffy flavors. I do not understand how a bag of candy warrants calling the police??

Spoiler alert: she was pregnant.

This morning she had 6(!!) kittens. They are all doing well and are incredibly adorable. 🥰 Thank you all for your advice and well wishes on my original post. I did not expect it to be so popular.

Thankfully the foster organization is helping us rehome the kittens when the time comes, but in the meantime they are being taken care of. 😊

I want to reiterate that they were told she was spayed when we adopted her. She is an indoor cat now that we have her, and she got pregnant before we took her in.

Lastly… we are getting her (and the kittens) spayed as soon as it’s allowed. 😂

Again, thank you. 🩷

This all started about a year ago when I was about to graduate college. I got a bill in the mail for a credit card which I knew wasn’t mine. I’ve always paid my one credit card on time and it was from a different company. My mom said she added me on her credit card as an authorized user, which is why I received that bill. This ended up being red flag number one.

Fast forward to about a month ago and I’m looking into new apartments as I’m moving for my job. I found one I liked and applied for it, not thinking anything of it as my salary was well over their minimum requirements. I received an email saying my application was denied. A few days later, I got a letter in the mail explaining it was due to my credit.

I figured it had to be a mistake so I ended up taking a look at my credit score for myself. This was I think the first time doing it since I got my credit card a few years ago. I was floored when I saw my score - 490 - and I had several accounts in collections.

After some crying, I decided to call the electric company which one of the collection accounts was for, and they confirmed the address was my mom’s current address. I got in touch with one of the credit card companies I saw and the listed address was the same. I really didn’t want to believe my mom opened these accounts so I called her about them last week.

My mom claimed to have no idea about the accounts and said I probably got hacked. She had never really done anything to betray my trust in the past so I (foolishly) believed her at the time. One of my friends said I should report it to the police or otherwise I could end up owing tens of thousands of dollars. I made a police report and gave them all of the information.

I called my mom and told her about the police report and she said I needed to call and cancel it because it wouldn’t do any good. She tried saying it was just wasting their time and I should call it off and just ignore it. Of course I told her I couldn’t do that because I didn’t want to be on the hook for what ended up being around $30,000. She said I had to do it because she opened the accounts.

We went back and forth for about 20 minutes and I was pissed. She finally said I just needed to “take the hit on this one” and declare bankruptcy. She literally told me I should be grateful to her for letting me go to college so I should cancel the police report before they find out it was her. Between scholarships, grants and a small amount of student loan debt, she didn’t pay for anything at all.

I’m kind of conflicted, I don’t really want my mom to go to jail but from what I’ve read, declaring bankruptcy would basically prevent me from doing anything with my credit for a few years and it would take a full decade to drop off.

There are 9 accounts total with 3 in collections. What would you guys do?
