Check Out This Awesome Dueling Lightsaber Battle in the Rocky Mountain Snow

Playing in the snow can be hard to resist. Sure it eventually turns to gray muck, and sometimes it needs to be shoveled.

But not being from an area that gets much snow, for me, it’s a little bit magical.

My husband’s favorite childhood memories are of playing football in the snow, and the last time we had a real one, I took the opportunity to build a snow man!

So it’s no wonder that some people in Colorado, who are used to getting plenty of snow, made a little magic of their own last February by engaging in a lightsaber duel.

Apparently, this is not the first time Coloradans have engaged in public Star Wars role play.

It’s not even the second time:

But one particular Friday evening, a young woman named Anghelie Elizabeth posted a video to her Facebook page of two people dressed in black, their swords clacking loudly together as they dueled in the snow.

Sadly, they do not make the electronic sounds you hear in the movies, but it’s still a blast to watch.

You can hear Elizabeth laughing in the background as she zooms in on the dueling duo.

One fighter has a blue saber like Anakin, Luke, and Rey. The other holds an orange lightsaber, which according to May4BeWithYou.com:

In the Star Wars Legends, the only known characters who have used Orange Lightsabers are Master Yaddle and Plo Koon. Both are Jedi but only the former used an Orange saber typically.

The snow definitely makes it epic, but I feel like we need a bombastic soundtrack. Think John Williams is available?

At just 30 seconds long, it’s not clear who won the battle, but it sure looks like everyone had a lot of fun. Take a look for yourself, and let us know what you think in the comments!

Check Out These Dumb Things People Have Posted on Social Media

Who are you, Alfred Einstein?

If you’ve never seen the classic film Kingpin, do yourself a favor and watch it and you’ll hear that line uttered by Woody Harrelson’s character…who’s not the sharpest tool in the shed.

And neither are these folks, apparently!

Because they all posted some pretty dumb things on social media that they probably regret now that the whole world has seen that they’re aren’t incredibly bright…or at least weren’t at that moment.

Let’s take a look!

1. You waited for ten whole minutes?

Now that’s commitment!

Well now. from facepalm

2. Is that really what happened?

Seems like you might have been scammed…

Why do people buy these from facepalm

3. It’s all smoking mirrors, people.

This person is a real wordsmith.

4. I’m not even sure what this means.

Calm down, there, friend…

5. Are you sure you’re not a robot?

We need to triple-check on this…

7. That is a very high honor.

Whoever wrote that story should be very proud of themselves. I think…

8. Some people need to be reminded, I guess.

It’s really a sad state of affairs.

I believe somewhere some incident might have occurred to prompt them to add this message to their boxes. I shudder (and smile) to think what that incident might be! from facepalm

9. Really? You didn’t know this?

Where did you go to school?

Tell me you’re American without actually telling me you’re American from facepalm

10. Way to go, Papa John’s!

Good marketing, right here.

When you don’t realise what you’re replying to from facepalm

11. Who’s in charge here?

Because you clearly blew it…

That defeats the whole purpose from facepalm

12. I still can’t hear anything!

A little help over here!

My wife just shared this with me from her current conference call (OC) from facepalm

Person Has a Clever Dog That Puts Itself in Time Out and We’re Fascinated

We all know that dogs are smarter than us.

Exhibit A – my dog whines like a maniac if I work one minute past 5 pm.

But a recent Tumblr post revealed that sometimes a good boy is more than just smart.

Colorado based @mothsplaining has a couple of different Tumblr accounts dedicated to, among other things, gorgeous pictures of beautiful dogs.

One of them is a Sheltie named Karybelle… who’s QUITE a looker.

https://mothsplaining.tumblr.com/post/643741193020260352

This amazing dog went viral last year after @mothsplaining posted about a training exercise. The note read:

Over the last several months, we have been implementing a protocol to eliminate karybelle the sheltie’s barking surrounding her mealtimes.

We have accomplished this by initially introducing an alternate activity during prep time (stuffed kong) and religiously giving her a time out gated in the yard if she stops that activity to bark, thus delaying her dinner until she’s quiet.

Who knew you could give a dog a time out?

Something tells me this would not work with my dog, who is not trained in the slightest.

But for Karybelle, it worked!

This has been extremely successful; She’s gone from barking literally 100+ times during meal prep to barking 0 times, and only occasionally slips up.

Proving that Karybelle is a very good dog. But there’s always a trade-off, isn’t there?

The behavior she has chosen to replace her meal-prep-screaming (after all, that energy has to go somewhere) is frantically – but silently – running circles around the coffee table to finally slam into a perfect down-stay as her bowl is set down.

10 out of 10. Karybelle nailed the landing.

But sometimes even good doggos have to make a little noise.

This evening as the food was coming out, karybelle seamlessly slipped into her silent circling routine. except after a couple of reps, she abruptly changed course, yeeted herself out the dog door, barked once, and immediately jumped back in to resume her circling.

She actually PUT HERSELF into timeout for a second!

If that isn’t a demonstration of crystal clear understanding of criteria, i…don’t know what is lmao.

Fellow Tumblrs were appropriately amused. Even if they’re not Kong-using pet parents.

Others noted that the experience was all too human–one we are all familiar with.

What do you think? Is Karybelle basically a genius?

Person Said People Can’t Be “Woke” if They’re Wrong. Are They an A-hole?

You sure hear the word “woke” thrown around a lot lately.

Which is a good thing because it means people are becoming more aware of people different from themselves and they’re learning to become more accepting.

But is it always a good thing? Especially when people are using it the wrong way?

Let’s take a look at this story from the “Am I the *sshole?” page on Reddit and see what happened…

“AITA for telling my roommate’s GF that she’s not woke if she’s wrong?”

“Husband (28M) & I (25F) are ethnically Chinese from a SEA country living overseas.

We rent a house with SO’s college friend who moved his gf (Anna) in during lockdown & she’s been with us ever since (with landlord’s permission & she pays her share of bills). They’re not Asians, which matters.

Anna was initially nice, but started acting very weirdly a month after she moved in:

Telling SO & I that we can practice our ‘real’ religion (which apparently is Buddhism, not Christianity even though SO & I come from Christian families). She even bought incense (which gives me migraines) & a random Buddha statue. We politely explained to her that we’re not Buddhists, but she continued to insist & promised that she didn’t mind.

Telling SO & I that we can speak our ‘real’ language cause she overheard SO’s family talking to us in a mix of English & Cantonese. I explained to her that I can’t speak Cantonese (SO can) even though I can understand it.

She was, for some reason, really disappointed in me & said that I was throwing my heritage away. Plot twist: my own father is only comfortable speaking English.

Buying raw internal organs for SO & I to cook, even though we don’t eat those. I told her we don’t eat that (not our thing), & she was again disappointed.

She told us she read that there were lots of nice recipes & maybe we haven’t found the right one to remind us of home. SO told her he’s never eaten it ever in his life, & I’ve never liked it. She was really upset, but had to toss it since no one was gonna eat it

Chinese New Year was when things got really really weird. She started ordering ‘decorations’. I wouldn’t mind, but she had ordered hell notes (the ones burned for deceased ancestors). I immediately told her to stop pasting them all over the walls because they were weirding me out.

She ordered banners with SO & my name on it (some bast*rdization of our legal English names) but they were written on white banners (again, for deceased people). I told her to please take it down. She got upset (again), but then ordered kabuki masks. I told her that those masks were not Chinese, & she just snapped. She started yelling at me that I should be helping her & not critiquing what she was doing. I told her:

She never asked.

CNY is not a big deal to me, so I wasn’t planning on decorating but if she had asked, I would have helped

She never asked.

I told her I don’t understand her fixation with us. She said she wanted to surprise me & SO, that we’ve been so ‘colonised’ we’ve forgotten our roots, & that we should be embracing our culture.

I told her it was a nice gesture, but she needs to stop forcing stereotypes down our throats. She could have just asked & she’s not being woke when she’s getting everything wrong.

She burst into tears & brought in her bf. He understood where I was coming from, but thought I could have been nicer. SO stands by me, & now things have been tense, but I’ve been tolerating this for a while now & it was getting on my nerves.”

Hmmmm….let’s see how Reddit users responded.

This reader called the woman a racist, plain and simple.

Another Reddit user said that the woman is not only being racist, but is “fetishizing her identities.” Let that one sink in…

Photo Credit: Reddit

Another reader pointed out that the woman is pretty ridiculous on multiple levels.

Photo Credit: Reddit

This person really hit the nail on the head!

Photo Credit: Reddit

Finally, this person said that the woman in the story reminds her of someone from her own life…and that they enforce harmful stereotypes.

Now we want to hear from you.

Was this woman an *sshole in this situation?

Tell us what you think in the comments. Thanks!

A Man Wants To Know If He’s Wrong for Telling His Daughter Why He Wasn’t in Her Life

You hear stories all the time about moms and dads not being in their kids’ lives for one reason or another, but this one is a little bit different.

A father took to Reddit’s “Am I the *sshole?” page to ask if he was wrong for telling his 19-year-old daughter the truth about why he wasn’t in her life while she was growing up.

Let’s take a look.

AITA for telling my daughter the truth about why I wasn’t in her life?

“To start, my ex and I were 19 when she got pregnant. We had recently broke up and she found out a couple weeks later that she was pregnant. She said she planned to get an abortion but only wanted her sister there.

So I was always under the belief that she had aborted. She only contacted me once saying it was done and we didn’t speak again.

Fast forward 19 yrs later, I found out a month ago that was a lie. My ex passed away 3 years ago and my daughter Kara has been living with her uncle.

He was the one to reach out to give me a heads up after she expressed an interest in wanting us to connect. He and I spoke at length because I was feeling some pretty strong emotions like rage for never being told about her.

My ex had backed out of the abortion but didn’t want me involved because we were broken up so decided just not to tell me. But he told me that Kara doesn’t know about that. Apparently I wasn’t ready for fatherhood because we were both young so I bailed.

I couldn’t believe it. Rob (her uncle) told me he knows his sister was wrong for that but promised Kara doesn’t have any negative feelings towards me and my ex never painted me as some villain, just a young guy who knew he couldn’t properly care for her.

He asked me not to tell Kara this when we talk if she asks and because it could hurt the way she saw her mom. I never actually confirmed I would.

Kara messaged me and we’ve been talking. I’ve met her twice and it’s been crazy emotional. Looking at this girl who looks just like me and hurting that we’re just barely getting to know each other

So far our conversations have only been about what her life was like, how my life is, what her wants/future goals are, and getting to know each other.

We met again Tuesday and she finally decided to ask the obvious questions about what made me not be involved. How did I feel, what went through my mind, did I ever think about her,etc.

I had been thinking about what to do but in that moment I just didn’t have it in me to lie so I was honest. That I was told about the abortion, had no idea she even existed until now, but that I still really want to be in her life and have the chance to be her father if she wants that. Kara was a bit emotional, we talked some more, and said she still wants me involved.

That night my messages were blowing up. Not just from rob but her grandparents as well. They’re all outraged for telling Kara about her mom because she yelled at all of them and is refusing to even take their calls.

Yes, the lie was terrible but I just ruined the image she had of her late mother for my own benefit. Rob called me a selfish d*ck for not taking into consideration how this would affect Kara finding out about this.

So right now I feel like sh*t. I get “honesty is the best policy” but in this case I don’t know if I was an *sshole for doing it. I’m still learning this whole “dad” business so don’t know if I dropped the ball here.”

Here’s how folks on Reddit responded to the story.

This person said that the man is not wrong here: his ex clearly created this whole mess.

Photo Credit: Reddit

Another reader said that this story is even worse than the typical “deadbeat dad” story because the girl was lied to from the very beginning.

Photo Credit: Reddit

This person said that the man is definitely not the *sshole here and that the entire family lied to the girl about what really happened.

Photo Credit: Reddit

Another individual said that the man who wrote the story really had no good choices here, but it wasn’t his fault. He was ultimately put into this situation because of the lies of his ex and her family.

Photo Credit: Reddit

And finally, this Reddit users said that the man had to tell the truth and another lie would have prevented him from having any real relationship with his daughter in the long run.

Do you think this man was wrong in his actions?

Or was he justified?

Entitled Woman Demands to Buy a Precious Heirloom. The Internet Was Not Having It.

Some parents have a lot of nerve…

Yes, I understand that everyone believes their children are the best ones on the planet, but still…get a grip.

Here’s a story about a mom who gives new meaning to the word entitled. Let’s take a look.

Entitled Mother Demands I Sell Her Something Extremely Important to Me, Because “My LiTtLe AnGeL DeSeRvEs It!!!!!”

“Okay, this happened back in 2019, I only just thought of posting it here.

Cast: K- kid EM: Entitled Mom Me: Me

Backstory: Before COVID I did some babysitting every now and then, once I babysat K and my house. Also, I have a small doll collection. I know it’s a little weird, please don’t be too judgmental :).

Anyways, a few months before this happened, my grandma gave me a doll for Christmas, which is extremely important to me because it’s from her. Onto the story..

So around 14:00, EM dropped K off at my house, I usually don’t babysit in my own home, but it didn’t bother me that much. At around 16:00, K said she wanted to play hide and seek, so we played for about half an hour until she hid in my room, where she saw my display.

I’m usually really insecure about people seeing it, but she was 6 and looked so excited so I took down the dolls to show her, and let her play with them until 17:00, when EM came to pick her up. EM went to my room to get K, and I started to clean up. EM noticed the dolls, and asked:

EM: Hey, are you selling any of those? K loooooves dolls.

Me: Oh, I’m not selling any of these ones, but I have some others in storage I could-

EM: *pointing at the one my grandmother gave me* Oh, but that one is soooooo pretty! I’m sure you could spare it for my daughter. How much would you like for it?

Me: I’m sorry, that’s from my Grandma, I can’t sell it.

EM: is she dead?

Me: *extremely confused and shocked* No?

EM: Well then how important could it possibly be? Dolls are for children anyway, don’t be so selfish! (I was still technically a child so her logic was ridiculous) Here, I’ll give you $5.

I was a little frustrated at this point, especially because she wouldn’t even give me a chance to talk.

Me: Even if $5 was anywhere near a decent price, I wouldn’t sell this for $100. Now if you’d please pay me for babysitting K, I would be happy to sell you a different doll-

EM: What is wrong with people these day!?! You are so selfish, what are you even going to do with those dolls?! Grow up and stop trying to ruin my daughter’s childhood! K Deserves that!!

Luckily, my mom’s car pulled into the driveway at that exact moment, and EM paid me for babysitting and left, but not after having a little temper tantrum.

After that experience, I stopped letting parents drop their kids off at my house for babysitting.”

And here’s how readers responded to this story.

This reader said the person should push the price up. WAY UP.

Photo Credit: Reddit

Another person said they related to this story because they get people wanting to buy their house all the time…random strangers that just knock on the door…

Photo Credit: Reddit

This individual made a good point: the mom wants the doll so bad for their kid, but the child will likely get bored of the doll at some point anyway, so why the big fuss.

Photo Credit: Reddit

Finally, this person made a good observation: doesn’t it always seem like people who say “don’t be selfish” are the most selfish folks out there? Think about that one…

Photo Credit: Reddit

Now we want to hear what you think about this story.

Share your thoughts with us in the comments.

We look forward to hearing from you! Thanks!

A Mom Went Viral for Teaching Her Five Daughters That Virginity Is a Myth

All of us want to be good role models for our kids. But sometimes it’s hard to know exactly the right thing to say or do.

That’s why one mom, Nevada Shareef, made a TikTok video asking other parents to name things about the way they raised their kids that others might find strange or surprising.

Cayce LaCorte, a writer and fellow TikTok user from South Carolina, answered the call with a surprising piece of advice on chastity that she shares with her five daughters, ages seven to sixteen.

She describes herself on her Instagram page as “Actually a bunch of opinions in a trench coat,” which is a marvelously accurate description. In the video, Cayce states:

I’m going to get a lot of s**t for this, but what’re you going to do? I’ve been raising my five daughters to believe that there is no such thing as virginity.

That statement on it’s own probably would have been enough to make her go viral.

In the video, which racked up 2.7 million views in about six weeks, she goes on to explain:

“It is a patriarchal concept used to control women and serves no purpose — other than making women feel bad about ourselves. Just because some guy randomly sticks his penis in you at some point in your life does not change your worth, it does not change who you are, it doesn’t do anything other than it happened.

S*x is important. It’s a big deal. It should always be a big deal. It has nothing to do with your first time…it’s just ridiculous. The whole concept is ridiculous,

Cayce also says that she’s not worried about this particular point of view leading to promiscuity.

She’s still teaching her daughters right and wrong and how to be good people.

Cayce’s hot take on women’s bodies lit up social media across multiple platforms.

Her video especially resonated with victims of assault, as Cayce explained to Buzzfeed:

“We all have our own ‘rape/assault/pressured into doing something I didn’t want’ story. We can all empathize. For an entire society to tell you that your worth is tied to your virginity or purity, then have someone take that from you?! It’s heartbreaking and infuriating and makes me want to smash things.

We are so f**king angry about all of this, and if I can make a single survivor feel better about themselves, then I’ve already succeeded.”

The popularity of her video may seem surprising, but it just shows that women are tired of living by a set of double standards.

“Purity culture is toxic at its core. Women are treated vastly different than men because its roots are steeped in a history of women being property.

Can you imagine what the world would look like if society put half as much effort into making the world a safer place for women, instead of worrying that she’s not a virgin for her husband?”

But of course, not everyone agrees with her.

Some comments even argued physiology with Cayce, but she wasn’t having it, as she explained in this (explicit) response:

@book_mama

Reply to @rachelhill200 Respectfully…you’re wrong. #science #thehymenaintshit virginityisamyth #googleit

♬ original sound – Cayce

Cayce’s goal is to help other parents reframe the conversations that they have with their children about s*x.

She told Buzzfeed:

“It’s about the way we force arbitrary rules on ourselves and our kids and miss the big picture. Instead, we could focus on education about pregnancy, STDs, self-worth. How about, instead of making the first time special, make sure it’s always special because that’s the bare minimum you deserve.”

Going viral clearly has its ups and downs, but it looks like more ups than downs for Cayce.

And now, in addition to her blog, where readers can follow her publishing adventures, she has set up a webpage where you can track her progress on a parenting book and YouTube channel.

Cayce has a lot of advice to share about raising strong, independent daughters who know the meaning of consent.

Check out the full video!

Now, let us know if you agree with her no-nonsense approach in the comments!

Thanks, fam!

A Father Fired His Own Son. Was He Wrong?

It can be a great idea for family members to work together and other times…maybe not so much.

A father shared his story on Reddit’s “Am I the *sshole?” page about having to fire his own son and he wanted to know if he’s wrong for doing so.

Let’s check out the story.

AITA for firing my son from family work?

“Throwaway. First language is not English but living in UK for 10 years.My wife is from UK.

This is really creating problems in the house and my wife is currently at my MILs house. My son did not leave his room for a month except going to his therapist or to take his medications.

My son (21M) has returned to our hometown 5 months ago after 3 years failing at college also failing at various jobs he worked. He was graduated as a valedictorian at high school and was accepted to a really good college so it was a really bitter 3 years for all of us watching him fail.

When he returned to the home, we gave him 2 months to rest and then he started to work at my company as an intern. I thought it would help him develop life and work skills because he did not work until college due to really hectic school schedule.

In his first month,he was doing OK but at the second month,he started detoriating and he was really closed and only answered when he was asked something specific,also he started to come late and he was really looking dirty,also started to smell. His colleagues were really disturbed and one of them asked me to bring him to a therapist or call a therapist to his workplace.

I agreed and arranged a meeting with a therapist at our workplace with my son. At the end,he was diagnosed with cyclotymic depression with major episodes and therapist said he needs constant therapy and medication.

After all this news and with the complaints of my colleagues,I fired my son from the work.Well,this was big news for my wife and she accused me of infantilizing my son and never trusting. Well,I don’t. He is really incapable of taking care of himself,someone has to make him remember even to eat or take a bath or he just sleeps,wakes up and looks to the ceiling.

When I said this,she got really angry and said she was going to her mom’s house and taking our son,my son looked her and yelled “Leave!” She was scared and left the house and after that he started to cry and became a little kid.That night was hard and he was like a 10 year old in 21 hear old’s body.

I am currently at home most of the times and working from home,also the surges in the COVID cases in my area made it more possible.Also we are a healthcare software company for hospitals so WFH is really possible and I only go to in person work maybe once a week.

My wife is currently looking for divorce attorneys and even my mom and dad are accusing me for finishing my marriage. They all think my son has something he can come over and I am overreacting.

The only support I have is FIL(him and MIL are divorced since my wife was a little baby) and he is currently living with us helping me taking care of him. We are taking really slow baby steps and his psychiatrist said if it wasn’t COVID,he would be hospitalized to a mental health care clinic. He currently started to eat a full meal and we are really glad.

AITA for firing my son from family work?”

Here’s how people responded to the man’s story.

This reader said that the man’s son probably needed to be fired because it’s obvious he can’t handle any big responsibilities right now.

Photo Credit: Reddit

Another reader said that the man’s wife clearly isn’t grasping how serious the situation is or what their son needs right now.

Photo Credit: Reddit

This Reddit user pointed out that the son might need full-time care…and that his father isn’t the one who should be handling this.
