Just looking to add some extra pop to the backyard it’s pretty bland. I don’t love the fireplace it was there when I moved in and just never have got around to doing anything landscape wise as I’ve been focusing on getting the yard in better shape. submitted by /u/WonderfulPrize7365 to r/LandscapingTips [link] [comments]

One of our neighbors reached over the fence to drill holes in a mulberry tree and inject herbicide because he doesn't like the mulberries falling on his yard. This tree is huge, probably around 70+ y/o, and fairly healthy, it is fully on our property. This man has also been spraying our fence & property line with herbicide chemicals because he doesn't like the ivy growing on his side (killed a whole chunk of the ivy, rooted on our side). He made no effort to have the branches overhanging his property trimmed, and you can very clearly see the angle of drilling in relation to the fence height. What should we do to press charges or file a lawsuit against him? This seemed to have happened a few days ago, and the tree is already showing signs of injury/dying. In an attempt to reduce injury, I cleared & flushed the holes and tapped some dowels in. The dowels also clearly show the drilling angles (11 holes total, last 2 photos) EDIT: It’s a red mulberry, fully native to IL EDIT 2: I was just taught about red hybrids, and it turns out it unfortunately is one, so nevermind on that. EDIT 3: For clarity -- this property is a rental with an on-site manager, my family owns this property and I help with some of the grounds management & maintenance among other work. The only communication we've received from this new neighbor (1-2 years) about his displeasure with the tree was through a tenant who he complained to in passing. We had no idea he was so unhappy with it that he was willing to poison it for the 5% canopy overhang. This had never been a problem with the previous owners who lived there for like 20 years. This tree is one of our primary shade trees and several tenants eat from it regularly (as well as myself). We have already been planning to take down a massive tree of heaven that provides the other half of our shade and replace ir with a native hardwood, and we do not want to loose all of our yard shade at once. EDIT 4: Holy shit, I did not expect this to blow up. Yes, I know this is a blighted landscape, I just removed a whole fenceline of Japanese knotweed that had been there for probably 50 years so we could put in prairie grasses & native flowers instead. I have been working on turning over our landscaping theory to conservation-centric, but I also don't want to lose all of our shade and greenspace at once so I have been staggering work for the last few years and allocating projects as I have the energy. I didn't realize that red-white hybrid mulberries are a thing, and I had no idea there is such vitriol against mulberries in general, I've grown up with them as a staple of the Midwest fruiting foliage. Now that I know about the hybrid thing, that tree is definitely on the chopping block but not immediately because shade from very tall trees is increasingly rare in Chicago, and with the planned removal of the ToH I don't want us having a sun-baked yard. HOWEVER, I have been doing some research and I have found out about tree fruit suppressors and will be looking more into that to keep the tree from spreading while maintaining yard shade (assuming it survives). Installing trail cams today. I would also like to note that he wasn't spraying all the ivy, just the ivy behind his cheap-looking water feature which shares a fence with our native-species butterfly garden, potentially poisoning that too. He only ever made a complaint to one tenant about this while already spraying and never came to us directly when he has our information and sees the live-in manager. His yard style is also west-coast manicure as opposed to Midwest conservation, he has not attacked the other neighbor's ivy vine on the other side of his yard, I guess it looks fine there. submitted by /u/urban_spectre to r/treelaw [link] [comments]

The facade of 'not all men' and 'false cases' has finally, irrevocably shattered. If you want to know the soul of a culture, look at what it laughs at. Look at what it rewards with a microphone and a cash prize. Context - For the uninitiated, or for those who willfully blocked it out to preserve their sanity, here is what happened. A 23 yr old web developer stands up at a stand-up comedy show in Gurgaon. He gets the mic. He decides to share a 'hilarious' anecdote about a date. He bought a woman chicken biryani. It cost him ₹370 (that's about $3.8). When she asked to be dropped home, he decided that a plate of rice entitled him to her body. He said - "Maine kaha 370 rupay lage hain, main wasool toh karunga." (TR : I said I've spent 370 rupees, I will definitely recover it.) Let that sink in. (Yes, read that AGAIN.) He then proceeded to describe, to a room full of laughing, cheering peers, how he wore down her defenses. How he ignored her 'No.' How he pushed past her visible hesitation, dragged her into a dark park, and forcefully put his hand inside her clothes. He didn't confess this in a dark interrogation room. He confessed it on a stage, under bright lights, into a microphone. And what did he get? Laughter. Applause. The comedian hosting the show literally handed him a cash prize. This is the rape mentality in its purest, most casual form: The belief that a woman is a transaction, and her consent is a commodity that can be bought for the price of a plate of rice. We are tired of the gaslighting. We are tired of being told that India’s rape crisis is a poverty/rural issue. This happened in Gurgaon, a corporate hub, involving an educated web developer and a room full of middle-class youth who found the description of sexual coercion hilarious. They’ll tell you it’s a joke. They’ll tell you men are the real victims of a changing social landscape. But when the lights go down and the camera is rolling, they aren't afraid. They aren't victims. They are predators who feel so safe in their entitlement that they will confess to a crime for a laugh. Gurgaon man fired after viral ₹370 biryani remark The aftermath of the video followed the exact, predictable script of modern accountability. The internet outraged. The man’s employer promptly fired him (while claiming that he's a perfectly well behaved individual) to protect their brand image. The comedian issued a hollow apology and deactivated his Instagram. (Corporate PR cleanup crews working overtime?) But firing one man doesn't cure the disease. This wasn't one bad apple. This was a room full of middle-class, educated, upwardly mobile youth acting as a mirror to society. The audience laughed because the premise made sense to them. The idea that a woman becomes a financial transaction the moment a man pays for dinner is a widely accepted social contract in the dark corners of the collective psyche. No one in that room stood up. NO ONE stopped the mic. No one said, 'Hey man, you're describing a crime, you sexually assaulted someone!.' No, SYBAU about fake cases, it's not a rural issue, we're not overreacting, it's not just a joke! To every woman reading this who feels sick to their stomach: Your anger is correct. Your hyper-vigilance is justified. Do not let them tell you that you are overreacting. We are living in a reality where our safety, our dignity, and our consent are treated as commodities with a depreciating value. If a plate of biryani is enough to justify stripping away a woman's right to say no, then ZERO women are safe. The facade is broken. We see you. We see what you laugh at when you think we aren't looking. And we are absolutely done being polite about it. submitted by /u/TheDesiDiogenes to r/TwoXChromosomes [link] [comments]

"Zuko Alone" has always been one of my favorite ATLA episodes, so I built this LEGO diorama based on the scene where Zuko travels through the Earth Kingdom on his ostrich horse. I tried to capture the feeling of isolation and the beautiful landscape with the giant stone discs and golden fields. Hope fellow Avatar fans enjoy it!🌄 submitted by /u/JoniBlue3 to r/TheLastAirbender [link] [comments]

Game Title: 007 FIRST LIGHT Platforms: PlayStation 5 (May 27, 2026) XBOX Series X | S (May 27, 2026) PC (May 27, 2026) Nintendo Switch 2 (TBD) Trailers: 007 First Light - Announcement Trailer 007 First Light - Official Launch Trailer Developer: IO Interactive Reviews aggregates: OpenCritic: 91 / 100 - 100% Critics Recommend Metacritic: 88 / 100 Some Reviews (updating): VICE - Brent Koepp - 5 / 5 007 First Light is easily the best James Bond game since GoldenEye and is also one of the better Bond stories told in the last decade. IO Interactive has created a game that is a culmination of all of their best mechanics over the years. 007 First Light has the addicting sandbox gameplay of the Hitman franchise while also having an incredible narrative that matches the quality of Naughty Dog and Rockstar Games. James Bond is finally back and is better than he’s been in years. VGC - Jordan Middler - 5 / 5 007 First Light might just be the best James Bond game ever. The way IOI has translated the Bond fantasy into a 14-hour globetrotting epic is masterful. It's a game full of spectacle, humour, action, and romance. Everything James Bond should be. New Bond owners Amazon must ensure this franchise continues. Windows Central - Jez Corden - 5 / 5 007: First Light felt impeccably polished throughout. I was never disengaged or rushing to completion, even in the slower, stealthier segments — it was often here the characters and world-building shone the most. A huge variety of gameplay locations, gameplay styles, unique activities, set-piece moments, logic puzzles, investigations, platforming, and, honestly, exploration opportunities never left me wanting. The Guardian - Matthew Castle - 5 / 5 It’s that full Bond immersion that 007 First Light will ultimately be remembered for, more so than the odd wonky setpiece scene. I have no doubt that this was made by excitable Bond geeks throwing “what if” moments at a whiteboard. What if you got to explore Q Lab watching underlings test malfunctioning prototypes? What if you were tied to a torturer’s table and had to talk your way out? What if you found yourself at 15,000ft with no parachute? And what if you had access to John Barry’s classic scores and could deploy a staggering needle drop out of nowhere? The Independent - Jake Brigstock - 5 / 5 One of the very first things you’ll notice is just how good 007 First Light looks visually on the whole, both in cutscenes and general gameplay. Especially playing on PS5 Pro where the latest version of PSSR is in use, the game is a feast for the eyes, both in low-light settings and densely packed brighter areas. The lighting in this game is astonishing and the reflections in water and mirrors are equally impressive. In the very first mission, James Bond encounters a broken mirror in a room he sneaks into and the reflection you see is perfect. This level of detail is found throughout the game, and the sound design is equally impressive too, with a superb score, great soundtrack, including tracks from Chase & Status, and immersive, real-world sounds. Digitec Magazine - Philipp Rüegg - 5 / 5 After 30 years, ‘GoldenEye’ is finally retiring. With ‘007 First Light’, IO Interactive – the masterminds behind ‘Hitman’ – delivers the ultimate Bond experience that fans have been waiting for since the N64 classic. Gfinity - Alister Kennedy - 10 / 10 007 First Light is, for me, an absolute masterpiece that shattered all pre-release anxieties and is, in fact, the greatest Bond video game of all time. IO Interactive masterfully balances explosive action with "Hitman"-inspired stealth, all brought to life by Patrick Gibson’s breathtaking, definitive performance as a young James Bond. Equal parts thrilling and cinematic, this incredible experience is a gorgeous love letter to the franchise and a sure-fire Game of the Year contender. MeuPlayStation - Thiago do Nascimento Barros - 100 / 100 007 First Light is all about aura. It honors James Bond's legacy by bringing everything we love about him since the 1960's movies in the ultimate 007 videogame experience. Chases, shootings, explosions, plot twists, politics, charm, Bond Girls, guns, cars, boats, Q Technologies, Moneypenny, M, iconic characters, beautiful locations... All of that with great level design, combat and exploration. The name is Bond, James Bond. Manual dos Games - Luiz Henrique Silva - 10 / 10.0 007 First Light delivers on the promise of being the ultimate James Bond game by introducing a new version of the character that oozes charisma in every second on screen, alongside an excellent storyline supported by memorable side characters who help drive the narrative forward. The game also features an extremely creative level design that fully embraces its stealth and combat systems, making players truly feel like an MI6 spy. GamingTrend - Joe Morgan - 95 / 100 007 First Light is a top-tier game both Bond fans and stealth action gamers will love. It has all the hallmarks of a great Bond film with some of the best stealth action gameplay in the industry. I’m excited to see one of my favorite franchises in the hands of a studio that loves it as much as I do. 007 First Light is worthy of the Bond legacy and easily one of the best games of the year. SECTOR.sk - Peter Dragula - 9.5 / 10.0 007 First Light is a strong new beginning for James Bond in games, combining a deep origin story, varied missions, stealth, action, excellent hand-to-hand combat, precise shooting, impressive visuals and classic Bond atmosphere. A few slower sections and the lack of a body-hiding mechanic are minor issues in an otherwise excellent spy adventure. PPE.pl - Wojciech Gruszczyk - 9.5 / 10.0 007 First Light is the best James Bond game ever – brilliantly written, superbly acted and brimming with that unique atmosphere we’ve come to expect from stories about Agent 007. IO Interactive has combined its own experience from Hitman with a cinematic adventure in the style of Uncharted, throwing in gadgets, spectacular missions, interesting characters and a very well-crafted story of the young Bond. Not everything works perfectly, as the game sometimes holds your hand (a bit too tightly!), but ultimately it’s a brilliant start to a new era of 007 in gaming. GameTyrant - Noah Cochrane - 9.5 / 10 007 First Light delivers the action, style, emotion, and spectacle you want from a James Bond game. It is a masterclass in spydom, and easily one of the most exciting action games of the year. ComingSoon.net - Tyler Treese - 9.5 / 10.0 As stylish as the films themselves, 007 First Light is a brilliant depiction of Bond. As a flawed agent still coming into his own, yet still having the undeniable charm and swagger, this is the most relatable version of 007 yet. It’s also the legendary spy’s best video game adventure since the Nintendo 64, allowing you to really get the full espionage experience, using gadgets, your own problem-solving abilities, and, of course, your trusty pistol to get through some incredibly tense exchanges. The Nerd Stash - Julio La Pine - 9.5 / 10.0 007 First Light is not only the best James Bond video game to date, but also one of the greatest action-adventure titles of this generation, full of jaw-dropping action sequences, a compelling narrative, and superb acting. Atarita - Atakan Gümrükçüoğlu - 93 / 100 Centering on James Bond's origin story, 007 First Light blends action and stealth elements with flawless pacing, delivering that long-awaited, glorious return to the franchise. With its impactful melee combat mechanics, cleverly designed spy gadgets, and stellar acting performances, it places the player directly in the lead role of a breathtaking blockbuster movie. Xbox Achievements - Dan Webb - 92% Even without all that, though, 007 First Light is still undeniably one of the best Bond games ever created – it most certainly gives Goldeneye a run for its money, but for very different reasons, of course. It's a game for action-lovers, Bond-lovers, stealth-lovers, or people who just love a good spy story. It's a wonderfully handcrafted affair that oozes love and care from every faucet. IO clearly did their research and nailed absolutely everything to do with the Bond franchise – Alan Partridge would be proud! And thanks to the elements of the Hitman DNA that run deep, First Light is an espionage game that just nails every aspect of the genre. INVEN - Kyuman Kim - 9.1 / 10.0 After a long stretch in the dark, a truly worthy 007 game has finally arrived. With a young Bond at its center, it delivers nearly everything fans could want from a Bond film—thrilling storytelling, clever twists, and charismatic characters alike. It feels poised to become a new “first light” in the history of 007 games. Metro - David Jenkins - 9 / 10 All of a sudden, it feels like IO Interactive may have been selling themselves short for only focusing on Hitman in the last few decades, because 007 First Light is an exceptional piece of interactive entertainment, that deserves to have a significant influence on the industry at large. DualShockers - Christian Bognar - 9 / 10.0 Creating a new James Bond game after a 14-year hiatus was a risky endeavor by IO Interactive. This is one of the most iconic characters in all of entertainment, and doing him justice is not easy. Somehow, however, IO Interactive pulled it off and not only produced an amazing video game, but also created a story that is worthy of the Bond pantheon. With superb writing, top-notch acting, beautiful cinematography, and expressive gameplay, 007 First Light is as sleek as it is engaging. James Bond is back, baby, and he's never been this cool. Loot Level Chill - Mick Fraser - 9 / 10.0 007 First Light is a superb adventure game, doing for Bond what the Great Circle did for Indiana Jones, and bringing it to modern audiences without compromising a sliver of what makes the character and universe tick. Besides the occasional patch of rough performance (some dropped frames here and there) and some accidentally amusing ragdoll stuff, it runs beautifully on PS5. The campaign is just long enough to satisfy all the requirements, while a raft of extra challenge missions unlock when the story is done to keep you playing long after you’ve rolled credits. Fans of the character will love 007 First Light, while even those who don’t know their Xenia Onatopp from their Pussy Galore will find a slick, thrilling, and supremely well-put-together action game that does so much more than simply coast on the popularity of its franchise. Collider - Samuel R. Murrian - 9 / 10 The narrative and gameplay of the second act could be tighter, but everything leads to a finale that plays out like pure wish fulfillment. Comparisons to GoldenEye and earlier bona fide classic Bond games are likely to be made over the following weeks, but IO has wisely made a game that aims squarely to be its own enterprise. The game concludes on a well-earned, giddy high that's likely to leave fans anxious for a follow-up as soon as the end credits and the thunderous Monty Norman theme roll. PSX Brasil - Ivan Nikolai Barkow Castilho - 90 / 100 007 First Light is an excellent James Bond game: varied gameplay with intelligent approach options, a story worthy of the character's films, beautiful graphics, and great technical performance. The TacSim mode is a great way to increase the title's longevity. Although the campaign features many slow-paced moments with secondary characters and combat animations that repeat frequently, it's an adventure that deserves to be checked out by any 007 fan or action game enthusiast in general. Screen Rant - Kyle Gratton - 9 / 10 Like Q retrofitting Bond's Omega watch, IO Interactive not only knows what the franchise needs, but what makes it tick. With gorgeous and impressively intricate locales, 007 First Light is brimming with trademark James Bond intrigue. There is a world-altering conspiracy threatening king and country to match, and a gameplay loop to get to the bottom of it that's as intoxicating as a vodka martini. But Why Tho? - Matt Sowinski - 9 / 10.0 IO Interactive feels like they've found a new home in the James Bond franchise. 007 First Light is a blast, with a tense and enthralling narrative that punches way higher and harder than anyone could have expected. DayOne - Jon Clarke - 9 / 10.0 With a great cast of characters, tons of imagination, and just the right amount of player agency and replayability, there is a delightful playground full of gadgetry and spycraft that players will want to return to again and again. A confident return for the Double-O program, and - sorry Goldeneye - this is, without a doubt, the best James Bond game ever made. GAMINGbible - Olly Smith - 9 / 10 007 First Light is an exquisite taste of slick spy action and blockbuster storytelling, and is fully what a Bond game should be, but rarely is. Checkpoint Gaming - Omi Koulas - 9 / 10 Despite it taking on more of a typical action game format most of the time, what makes 007 First Light work so well is that IO Interactive hasn’t simply turned Hitman into a Bond game. You can feel the studio’s strengths in the stealth systems and reactive NPCs, plus still get a bit of the sandbox-style exploration, but First Light is far more cinematic and narrative-focused. While some players may want larger, open-ended spaces, the more linear structure ultimately creates a stronger, more personal Bond story without losing the flair IOI is known for. My recommendation: go into this expecting a fun action-blockbuster, and you’ll have a grand ol’ time. Eurogamer - Rick Lane - 4 / 5 First Light isn't the Bond game that I wanted from IO Interactive. But I had a great time with it regardless. IO has proved it was the right studio to handle the license, albeit for different reasons than I expected. Amazon may not have a clue what to do with 007, but letting IO handle the whole shooting match would not be the worst idea. Dexerto - Liam Mackay - 4 / 5 007: First Light is worthy of the Bond legacy, bringing classic spy action to current-gen. It’s everything a Bond game should be and a true spectacle, taking inspiration from the biggest hits with sharp dialogue, inventive gadgets, classic cars, satisfying stealth, a great cast, and huge action set pieces. Its pacing isn’t always perfect, and combat could have more variety, but fans of 007, action, stealth games, and, of course, the Hitman franchise are bound to have a great time. The OuterHaven - George Yang - 4 / 5 007 First Light is the best James Bond game to date. Free from the shackles of licensed titles, First Light is able to tell a compelling origin story filled with political intrigue, espionage, and heart. Along with implementing its own twists on tried and true action adventure gameplay mechanics, 007 First Light comes equipped with beautiful landscapes, creative level design, and tons of replayability. Despite some performance issues and combat woes, this new era of Bond has successfully completed its mission. Wccftech - Alessio Palumbo - 8.5 / 10 From a technical standpoint, 007 First Light is also absolutely excellent. The latest evolution of the Glacier engine delivers great visuals and handles the game's larger levels with ease, never breaking a sweat even at maximum settings and NVIDIA DLAA enabled on a PC with a GeForce RTX 5090 GPU and Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU. There was no stuttering, either, a nice departure from what we're used to seeing in too many PC games. Unfortunately, IO Interactive delayed path tracing to a later update coming this Summer. It would have been ideal to play the game for the first time at its peak visual splendor; on the flip side, if there were optimization issues to iron out, it was definitely best to avoid ruining the launch experience. Gamereactor - Ben Lyons - 8.5 / 10 So yes, 007 First Light has plenty of hits and plenty of misses. In answer to the question earlier, there is enough in this game to give you confidence in IO Interactive and its broader vision for this style of a James Bond game, with plenty of ambition and quality oozing out of every crack. But there is clear room for improvement too, areas that would take this game from being simply an enjoyable and great action-adventure project and elevating it to be something truly unmissable. As it is, you'll enjoy 007 First Light, but it's no Uncharted 4 and it's no Hitman 3, either. PCGamesN - Paul Kelly - 8 / 10 If Hitman is a blank canvas, then First Light is a coloring book; everything is planned out, it's just up to me to fill out the details. I can choose whatever colors I like, in theory, but in the end, the picture looks the same. I'm always improvising a route from A to B, and while it doesn't feel as free-form and creative as IO Interactive's previous jaunts, it's a perfect fit for Bond. IGN - Luke Reilly - REVIEW IN PROGRESS (Very Positive) 007 First Light has made a fabulous first impression, and I’m certainly already quite comfortable to say it’s the best Bond has been since GoldenEye. I’ll be updating this review as soon as I’ve finalised the story and experimented with TacSim mode, which allows us to replay previous missions with extra challenges to earn new rewards. Push Square - Stephen Tailby - REVIEW IN PROGRESS (Very Positive) I'm not quite finished with 007 First Light just yet, but overall I'd say it's exactly what I was hoping for. The characterisation of this young Bond and his associates is really strong, and the globetrotting story lets you explore some great locations. It really shines in its sandbox missions, but shootouts have their moments too, and the whole thing weaves together really quite nicely. I'm really interested to see how the final few missions shake out, but beyond some technical quibbles and uncertainty on the driving, I'm pretty happy with IOI's new vision for James Bond. submitted by /u/ChiefLeef22 to r/gaming [link] [comments]

I work in a creative field and from that standpoint I hate AI. I hate the 'democratization' of creativity. I am going to sound VERY Boomer right now, but some things are meant to be difficult or meant to take skill and years of practice. It's why people who are good at these things (should) be paid more. We are already being heavily 'encouraged' to use AI to find ways to do our jobs faster, are being told 'they technology isn't going away, we need to embrace it.' Since within the company I am in, I am one of a handful of people that does a specific creative skill-set, the powers that be basically have no idea about the technicals of what I do, but they put it on me to figure out how to incorporate AI into my work. I hate that AI basically 'fakes' the creative process and that we are expected to use it (and the work of millions of artists that feed it) to just magically speed up how we do work, which in turn devalues the work we do as artists. From a company standpoint, they want to make money and churn out work faster, but if every client knows you can make a widget in 4 hours when it used to take 4 days, why would they pay you a lot of money to do that? The economics of it don't make sense. You will end up needing 10 times the number of clients to maintain your productivity / profits, which with AI or not, is a good way to burn out your artists. I see the writing on the wall, but my stubborn moralistic resistance to AI is probably going to be the death of my career. Does any one else feel similar or how have you coped with this rapidly degrading career landscape? submitted by /u/artbystorms to r/Millennials [link] [comments]

My (27M) husband (27M) and I have been together for over 8 years. To say he’s a workaholic is an understatement. He’s currently a postdoc at a university and typically works 10-12 hours a day during the week and also goes in on weekends for another 4-8 hours. He’s been like this since we met in undergrad. I’ve always been proud of him, but his schedule means almost all of the housework falls on me. I work full time too, but I still do basically 100% of the chores: cleaning, laundry, yard work, car maintenance, groceries, cooking, walking the dog, etc. I’ve asked him in the past if he’d consider working a little less, since he says none of his colleagues work as many hours. Whenever I bring it up, he gets defensive and says I don’t understand how hard he has to work, so I usually drop it. I’ve also tried asking him to help with specific chores, but honestly it often feels like it backfires. For example, if I ask him to clean the kitchen after I cook, he’ll put dishes away in the wrong places, load only half the dirty dishes into the dishwasher, wipe the counters with a wet paper towel, and leave the floor unswept. I end up having to redo it afterward. The one chore I thought was foolproof was putting the trash on the curb. Trash day is the same day every week. I remind him multiple times and he still only does it about half the time. I suggested putting it on his phone calendar and he got offended. He said he’d just set an alarm in the morning, but then he doesn’t. The only thing that works is reminding him as he’s leaving the house, but lately it feels like he intentionally leaves when I’m in the restroom so I can’t ask. At this point I’m starting to feel like he works so much partly to avoid doing anything at home. His mom has even told me that growing up he was always so focused on school that he never really helped with chores either. Now here’s the current issue. His mom is coming to visit this weekend. He loves inviting people to stay with us, but usually he’s gone working until they arrive, which means I’m the one who ends up cleaning the entire house beforehand because I worry about being judged. Since he invited her, I asked him earlier this week if he could at least clean the guest room and guest bathroom (which he’s the only one who uses when we don’t have guests). I also asked if he could handle the living room so my workload would be a little lighter. I asked early in the week and reminded him every day. He kept saying he’d do it later. On Friday morning he promised he would clean it that evening. He didn’t. The next morning he apologized and said he “had to” go into the office. It’s spring break and no one else is there, but now I’m once again expected to clean the guest room and bathroom myself before his mom arrives. At this point I’m seriously considering just leaving it as-is and letting him deal with the consequences. WIBTAH if I refuse to clean it this time? I’m honestly just tired of constantly being promised help and then never getting it. It’s starting to feel like weaponized incompetence. Edit: sorry not entirely sure how edits/updates work but here goes. Thank you all for the support and advice! I decided not to clean the room and restroom in order to focus on the rest of the house. When his mom arrived I apologized about the mess when I took her to the guest room and let her know my husband was supposed to clean it. She didn’t really mind and was understanding of the situation. She raised him after all! To clear some stuff up- we’re both guys. Easy to miss that part lol. He’s definitely not cheating or anything like that. We share locations and he’s always at the office. Plus his colleagues always mention how much time he spends working so I’m confident it’s nothing like that. I feel kinda bad about everyone ragging on him in the replies because I really do love him but just needed to let out my frustration about the housework. I threw out the weaponized incompetence thing but it could just be regular old incompetence when it comes to things outside his field. His love language is words of affirmation while mine is acts of service so he gets incredibly sad when I tell him how to properly do things rather than appreciating his effort. I’ve stopped trying to correct his “methods”because he goes back to doing things his way (low effort or completing half of the task) every time and it always leads to both of us being upset. On some level he knows how bad he is at housework so he just focuses on things he’s really good at. That being said I think you guys had a great idea with getting outside help. I’m going to split up the chores more equitably and have him pay for a maid and landscaping for his portion. Hopefully this will lead to having more time together submitted by /u/MyTraumaDumpy to r/ComfortLevelPod [link] [comments]

The hold has a20ft diameter and is roughly 2 feet deep Some friends suggested a fire pit which I like the idea of. I'm new to landscaping and would love to learn some things on this project. Is a fire pit possible or should I just buy dirt to fill it back up? submitted by /u/Caregiver_ to r/landscaping [link] [comments]

My grandparents have had this around my whole life. It looks a lot heavier than it is, the inside is porous so I’m expecting it to be some sort of bone? submitted by /u/RichieGang to r/fossilid [link] [comments]
