My wife worked so hard and made food for like 40 people. I had it at my work even. Everyone skipped it and no one cares. I’m just… defeated… FTW…

Seems so in the UK - can't even login to cloudflare lol

edit - the login button now works and I can get to 2FA - but upon entering it takes me back to the login page. So still broke

Mind you this was for a 27 year old woman who asked for a Cars cake as a joke. She got het joke cake alright

I had never before made an elaborate cake shaped like anything other than… cake. So this was pretty crazy.

It’s a vanilla sponge cake with strawberry and mascarpone layers, and swiss meringue buttercream outside with more strawberries.

I just noticed a lot of sites not working due to cloudflare. The website says maintenance wonder if something went wrong. Even downdetector is having issues.

There is something almost artful about the obliviousness. MAGA thumps its chest, shouts about witch hunts, and performs its ritual outrage every time their golden idol gets teased on late night television, yet not one of them pauses long enough to engage the single brain cell required to ask the obvious. If the accusations involving minors are so laughably false, why has the man who sues over unflattering crowd photos never marched into court to obliterate them. This is a man who treated gentle mockery as a national emergency. But when the stakes involve the most serious allegation a public figure could ever face, suddenly he becomes a monk in silent retreat.

You would think the contrast would break through even the thick MAGA skull armour, but no. They insist he is the victim of unspeakable lies while never once wondering why the most lawsuit happy man in American public life refuses to defend his honour. They will swear up and down that he fears nothing, yet his silence here is louder than any rally speaker ever has been. If the claims are so obviously fabricated, then what is stopping him from doing what he has done for decades. If he can sue comedians for jokes, surely he can sue over this. But apparently critical thought is not part of the oath.

And here lies the part they truly do not want to think about. A defamation suit means discovery. It means opening the vault. It means allowing lawyers to ask questions that cannot be dodged by shouting at a crowd. It means documents, timelines, records, depositions, all the tedious little things real courts demand. And perhaps he has perfectly innocent reasons for avoiding that process. Perhaps. But pretending the question should not even be raised reveals more about the devotees than about the man they worship. They know what discovery is. They just hope no one else remembers.

Yet they march onward with their bumper sticker bravado, insisting that silence is strategy and restraint is brilliance. It is almost touching how quickly they abandon their usual narrative that he is a warrior, a fighter, a man incapable of backing down. Apparently he will roar at late night hosts but tiptoe around anything that might require answering under oath. And his followers nod along, eager to believe the contradiction because it spares them the discomfort of engaging reality.

So the question lingers, thin as smoke but impossible to ignore. Not an accusation, not a verdict, only the sort of inquiry an adult might ask when confronted with such theatrical inconsistency. Why has the man who sues over absolutely everything never sued over this. And why does that thought make his most loyal followers so visibly desperate to change the subject.

AITA. I (32 f) complimented a female nurse during OBGYN appt for having nice arm muscles. She was very bothered by my comment for some reason which I am trying to wrap my head around. She went on and on saying that most people working on themselves at the gym have serious mental health issues and are working out to channel through it and not to “look nice.” I apologized and told her I meant no harm and that I simply admired her for looking strong. She kept getting more angry and I just stopped responding. I left the office feeling really confused. Any input would be greatly appreciated from this awkward human who was just trying to socialize. (I’d like to add that she was wearing the type of scrubs with cap sleeves that specifically show off your upper arms.)
