An ex wanted to break up because she was still in love with her ex. Her ex is in prison for decades after going on a rampage against homeless people and critically wounding at least a few. Live happybadger reaction:

My ex-spouse accused me of cheating on him.
.....with a character in the video game.
.....because I "clearly love him more that you love me!"
Whenever he'd be upset (for whatever reason), he would snap and say "Why don't you go talk to the person you actually love??" before giving me the silent treatment until he needed something.
It was the beginning of the end.
Don't miss it lol
EDIT: oh fuck, I forgot.. he actually sold our PS4 containing the game/save file completely out of the blue a few months after his first accusation, without telling me first. The game in question was "Stardew Valley". He was a shitty little man.
Was it the poet who lives on the beach? That was the only one I'd have been threatened by
Whether a specific colour was green or yellow. We eventually looked up the RGB value to settle it, and as it turns out it is the exact shade that's halfway to yellow and halfway to green.
We were both equally correct in the end.
Was this a debate about tennis balls? My spouse and I have had this exact disagreement!
Not tennis balls, no. Quite frankly I can't remember what it was. Just the colour stuck π
Colour theory is extremely complicated and you can't really tell from an RGB value in isolation that it represent a colour "exactly halfway" between green and yellow. Colour is perceptual, not a physical phenomenon, and this has significant meaningful consequences. But I'm glad you found a narrative that saved your marriage.
Yellow is Red + Green, so half way between Yellow and Green would be what, 50% Red + 100% Green?
Like you said, color is perceptual, and not only will everyone's eyes have a slightly different sensitivity for each wavelength, each display will have a slightly different calibration for its RGB channels.
If the original color was in real life, the camera sensor would also be taking the full light spectrum and collapsing it into 3 RGB values, and the camera sensor's sensitivity/calibration will determine the ratio it converts a yellow wavelength into red and green. (Or maybe the real object isn't actually yellow, but pure red-+green light, it's impossible to tell after converting to RGB)
We disagreed for years about the color of our couch. I called it brown. He called it blue. It was a weird grayish brown colored couch, but because it was labeled "slate" when he bought it, he insisted it was blue. We then added a teal blue couch to our house which just solidified my "this is the brown couch" position. We do not, to this day, agree. Eventually we got rid of the couch.
A similar debate with my partner is how I'm found out I'm colorblind lol
When you say you got rid of it, is it for sale? I'm in the market for a blue couch
Poor couch π₯
One can also have endless arguments about the color turquoise. Is it rather green, or rather blue? Same as teal I guess.

The answer to that question is "no".
It's turquoise. You wouldn't argue about whether orange is yellow or red, either.
You can remark on how that orange is closer to red, and how that one is closer to yellow though
A couch is for life, not just for Christmas.
So this was part of a much bigger discussion and turned out in reality to be mostly due to some unaddressed mental health issues. But on the tail end of an argument, y'know when you're starting to talk nice again and resolve things, I said something like it's okay, sometimes you're just a sad pancake. She burst into tears because she wanted to be a waffle. Hormones and mental health are wild, y'all.

I expect all the stories to be this. Why am I in this thread??
Whether apple stems are perpendicular or parallel to the surface of the fruit.
No thats totally fair argument.
Considering that it was about topology, that might very well be the smartest couple's dispute I've ever heard of.
Is the answer not both? Depending on what part of the stem?
Incidental Tangent to the surface where the stem starts.
approximately
At the deepest part where it surrounds stem tightly there will be an instant tangent which then immediately becomes non tangent. A G0 and G1 condition and not G2
Now, that's an interesting discussion!
They had a whole stupid argument about⦠Cheese. It went from small arguing to actual conflict.
One time I was at a specialty beer and cheese shop and I saw this guy pushing a cart alone with two children. He generally looked beaten down and glum. The kids are rambunctious, heβs exhausted, wife is missing but obviously in the store with them.
He is browsing the cases, killing time waiting for his wife to come back. He grabs a small block of cheese, looks interested it and adds it to the cart.
A few minutes later, the wife returns and immediately spots the cheese block. She picks it up and screams β$10? For a block of cheese you havenβt even TRIED yet? Absolutely not.β
Then she hurled it back in the case and stomped off while he sullenly followed her with the cart and kids
Look, cheese is serious eats. And business.
And atrocity against vulnerable individuals.
My ex-girlfriend worked at a restaurant and they had an annual staff party which was just a house party at the manager's house. When we opened the door and started taking our shoes off one of the new server girls was shouting at the manager "Don't call me Lonestar!" and he was like "Yeah whatever Lonestar" and she screamed at the top of her lungs "DON'T CALL ME FUCKING LONESTAR!!!" and shoved him hard, he fell backwards and landed on his ass and she screamed a battle cry and started punching holes in the drywall, busting up her knuckles and bleeding everywhere. We put our shoes back on and just left. She got fired
She should've just given him the raspberry.
What's up with the calling Lonestar?
I imagine she formerly worked at a Lonestar Steakhouse. That or she had some affiliation with Texas. Being that these were restaurant folk, I'm leaning toward the first.
East coast Canadian girl who had never left Nova Scotia.
Spaceballs reference maybe?
Now you see that evil will always triumph, because good is dumb.
Look, just don't, OK?
Just completely random
That's.. Not really a couple dispute, is it? Still, pretty funny lol
He had the hots for her but I guess that doesn't really count
βI can fix Lonestar.β
No joke I am 40% certain Lonestar went onto star in this viral video the timeline and location line up
