Wife Complains To Internet That She Can No Longer See Her Husband's Abs
When you're in a relationship for the long haul, there are certain expectations you're going to have to manage as you and your partner change and age. It would strike most people as unreasonable to not take this fact of life into account. Maybe this is one of those reminders that communication is important in any relationship. And when that begins to break down, one opens a Pandora's box of potential pain and disagreement.
In this wife's case, she is very clear about the importance of physical fitness in her life. But at the same time, the husband has recently made a few changes to his life that have resulted in a weight gain of about 10 pounds in 5 months. To many people out there, this feels a little ridiculous, but not to OP. She's pretty clear on how unacceptable this change is to her, and asked the internet to put in their two cents.
Well the internet did, and the consensus is pretty clear. She didn't get the support from strangers that she might have hoped for.
Trending Topic: Digital Art Thief Gets Career Brutally Destroyed After He Infringes On an Artist's Work
This artist noticed that a print shop owner was using some shady practices to create pieces for sale, noting that some of his art was "eerily too familiar" to other artwork he had seen. He confronted the owner on the issue and became the target for attacks on social media. When the artist discovered a piece of his art had been stolen, he knew he needed to exact revenge.
This post was presented by u/WearyButterscotch775 to the r/ProRevenge subreddit this week, where it has garnered 6k upvotes and 150 odd comments.
u/WearyButterscotch775 notes that they are an online artist, and this event took place during their "early 20s." He was pretty put-off that his approach to the issue was so ill-received the print shop owner seemed determined to continue ripping off other artists for profit.
The theft of digital art is a significant issue for artists trying to make a living off of their creative skillset. It has historically been widespread for artists to find that someone else has "sold" their work to online print shops that use the artists' pieces without proper permission.
There has also been a significant recent spike in digital art theft as NFTs become more and more lucrative to grifters and thieves. These scummy NFT creators will take another artist's work, then mint and attach a blockchain to it to sell as an NFT for, sometimes, thousands of dollars. It has gotten so bad that scammers even stole a popular digital artist's work after she tragically passed away from cancer.
Finally, there has also the recent viral video from several weeks ago where a digital modeling artist put Disney on blast for stealing his modeling work and selling it in their parks.

Bold Test Answers That Delivered Mixed Results
Tests suck. Having to smoosh a bunch of information into your brain just to spew it back out onto a sheet of paper has hardly ever felt like an effective way to actually learn something. Most of us learn by doing things anyway, and we'd be hard-pressed to remember any of the stuff we memorized in sixth grade just to get through a pop quiz. Sure, we knew all the countries in Asia at one point, but we keep forgetting Burma isn't a thing anymore, and it's just noise after that.
We never want to relive it again. That moment of tenseness when you look down at an empty sheet of paper, and the answer is just on the tip of your tongue. The clock is coming up on an hour and your pencil is sliding our of your hand, which is cramping from having just written two pages on the World War 2, the answer you gave you're pretty sure was corrupted by an episode of Star Trek. Who knows, maybe "the two big things that ended the war in the East" were in fact Kirk and Spock.
That's why it's so cathartic to see kids who were either clever, or just panicked and came up with whatever they could.
Features That Quietly Scream "I've Got Tons Of Money"
Most of us have dreams of becoming independently wealthy. Maybe by having a tik-tok blow up and becoming the new face of Arby's, or inventing a flying machine in your garage that runs on farts. Preferably both of those things at the same time. You could fly just about anywhere on one tank of gas if you got free Arby's.
But sometimes it's the people who were born into insane wealth, the people who can't conceive of life any other way, the out-of-touch wealthy people, that really fascinate us. What's going on in those heads of theirs that they lay down on satin pillows? Their beds made of platinum. Their duvets of solid gold so heavy it would crush anyone who decided to sleep under it.
We live in a world with terrifyingly large pits of money that some of us have managed to scrooge-mcduck their way into. Being in a society that has such a stratified system of wealth is fascinating as well as frustrating. The fact that one person might have to buy insulin on layaway and another person just bought a support yacht for their mega-yacht feels inherently gross. It's easy to wonder what the rest of us are doing with our tiny little lives. The lives and attitudes of the wealthy are as fascinating as they are frustrating, and money has an affect on how people interact with the world around them.
