This Man's Partner Bought A "Polarizing" Piece Of Art For Their Home, And The Comments Are Hilarious
One of my favorite little corners of Reddit is r/MaleLivingSpace, where men share photos of their homes (and their design choices). It's a blend of hilariously sparse rooms, inspiring stories of people getting back on their feet, and the occasional tastefully designed room that makes you go, "Ooh, I should do that."
However, one recent post made me laugh out loud as soon as I saw it, so I need to know what you think. The OP, elliottbaytrail, wrote, "Partner placed his polarizing art by our bedroom reading corner. I relocated it and revoked his decorating privilege." This was the first photo I saw, and I was like, Where's the art piece? I only see a guy by the window.
And then I scrolled and saw that THIS IS THE "ART."
Yes, your eyes do not deceive you: That is a human-sized, anthropomorphic bull statue, looking out the window in a contemplative manner.
The OP decided that the statue shouldn't be by the window (probably so as to avoid having a heart attack anytime he entered the room), so he moved it to the hallway, like this:
Now, clearly I am not an interior designer, because I was surprised to see that the comments are almost entirely on Team Bedroom and not Team Hallway.
People felt like it changed the whole vibe of the statue.
I mean, I guess I understand, but I feel like if I was reading in that corner, I would have to keep looking up from my book to make sure the statue hadn't moved.
There were plenty of puns about it in the comments.
And more than one person thought of that episode of Modern Family with Jay's dog butler statue.
(Here's what that looked like, by the way. I see the resemblance.)
Regardless, it seems like everyone in the comments agreed that ol' Baphomet* should stay by the window, so I guess I'm wrong.
*Okay, Baphomet usually has a goat head, not a cow head. Whatever.
What do you think? Where should the statue go? (And we will also accept "in the trash" as an answer.) Let us know in the comments!

Tom Felton Comments On JK Rowling
Tom Felton was asked for his thoughts about the ongoing controversy surrounding J.K. Rowling, and I can't lie, his response is disappointing. As you know, J.K. has come under fire, particularly for her anti-trans views. As a result, people are boycotting Harry Potter products, and several of the film's stars have openly criticized her, including Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint. Tom, for his part, shared his thoughts tonight at the 78th Tony Awards. When asked how he feels about the current controversy surrounding J.K. and her divisive views, Tom said, "I'm not really that attuned to it." "The only thing I always remind myself is that I'm lucky enough to travel the world," he continued. "Here I am in New York, and I have not seen anything bring the world together more than Potter." His response was shared on Reddit, where it was immediately met with backlash. Very trash behavior, indeed, if you ask me. Tell me what you think in the comments.

Boyfriend drunkenly admitted to girlfriend that he creepily ‘watched her' before they met: ‘This dude literally stalked you'
This story is the definition of creepy. A 'meet-cute' is how two people — who eventually romantically date — first meet. One would assume that meet-cutes are usually spontaneous and romantic, however much to one woman's horror, she discovered in an unexpected way that her boyfriend staged how they initially met. Advertisement She posted about the scary discovery on r/TrueOffMyChest subreddit — which seems to have been removed by Reddit's moderators. Luckily some excerpts of the original posting were shared by the Daily Dot. Sounding like a scene straight from the show, 'You' — on a recent night out together, this woman's boyfriend drunkenly said, 'Could you believe we wouldn't be this happy if I hadn't watched you for so long?' That sentence will sober someone right up. Advertisement Confused as anyone in her shoes would be, she asked him to elaborate — and the confessions just got worse. Supposedly, her boyfriend revealed that when he first laid eyes on her, he didn't immediately introduce himself — which would've been the normal, rational thing to do. Instead, he quielty observed her — he eavesdropped on her conversations with friends, he made mental notes of her likes and her personality quirks. This woman learned that her boyfriend was watching her for a long time before they formally met each other. Getty Images Advertisement He then planned to 'bump' into her at a coffee shop she liked — where he ordered her favorite drink. Beyond creepy. Thinking it was fate that brought them together, one could imagine how betrayed and weirded out this girlfriend felt learning all this. Advertisement 'I mainly am just upset because I feel like our relationship was built on a lie, even if it was a smallish one,' she wrote in the post. 'Hellllllllll no this is the creepiest thing I read in a while,' one commenter wrote. 'Well, if he can lie about this and hide it for so long what else do you think he could be lying about? After hearing that, I would assume there would be more things hes been lying about,' another user pointed out. 'Go with your gut. This dude literally stalked you and manipulated you into going out with him,' wrote someone else. This woman's story got even more bizarre. As Reddit users were chiming in on the thread with their thoughts on the situation — suddenly, the woman edited her original post at the top writing, 'I was wrong. My boyfriend didn't do anything wrong.' But then, at the bottom of the post, users noticed the OP said she wanted to chat more with her boyfriend about this discovery and how she was feeling about it. Users sensed something fishy was going on. Advertisement 'Ummm I need some clarification on the edit at the top.. Is there a comment thread somewhere in here that explains? OP, you okay?' a concerned commenter wrote. 'As soon as I saw the edit on the top, I got super concerned. OP please let us know if you're okay,' another comment read. 'That update definitely doesn't sit well with me either. I hope OP is okay; this is such a creepy and concerning post all around,' a concerned commenter shared. The woman hasn't made many additional edits to her post since — and there hasn't been an update.

A Reddit user says that his grieving girlfriend asked him to leave their home so that she could have some space The man refused and didn't want to "spend the money to stay at a hotel for a week" Commenters wondered if this was a sign that the relationship was in trouble since she didn't want him aroundA man has been left reeling after his girlfriend ordered him out of their home so she could grieve in peace. He detailed in a Reddit post that his girlfriend 'just lost someone close to her and is grieving.' She asked if he was willing to leave their apartment for a week so that she could have some time, but he couldn't honor that request. 'I told her sorry I can't because I have no where to go, my family lives too far away, my friends don't really have the space for me right now,' he wrote, adding 'and I don't want to spend the money to stay at a hotel for a week.' His decision has left his girlfriend 'upset,' and she has accused him of 'making things worse.' The man revealed he hasn't received much support from his friends either, who think he should give his partner space but aren't offering him alternative accommodations.

Download it now for the most binge-worthy celeb content, exclusive video clips, astrology updates and more! He continued that his girlfriend wasn't as frugal as him when it came to expenses, and that is where some of the tension is coming from. She 'thinks paying for a hotel for a week is no big deal. That's why she is so upset, I did ask her to help pay but her money is going towards funeral costs,' he wrote. The man sought feedback on whether he was in the wrong for not leaving, and Reddit users responded overwhelmingly in support of him, questioning whether the relationship was in trouble. 'You're her bf [boyfriend], if she can't be sad or grieving around you why is she with you or living with you? If y'all were married would she expect you to leave every time then too,' one person wrote. Another commentator echoed that her asking him to leave was not a good indicator of how she processed her feelings when times got hard.

'If her coping mechanism for trauma is to push you away, this does not bode well for your relationship. Do you really want to stay with someone who runs away when things get hard ?' the commenter wrote. 'When things are easy, life can be great! But the real test of a relationship is when things are hard.' Another questioned why the girlfriend didn't choose to leave herself. 'She can get a hotel if she wants her own space,' the user wrote.
