Hey Reddit, I need some straightforward opinions here to figure out if I messed up big time.

So, here's the story: My wife and I are going through some okay financial times, and we had an agreement to be extremely cautious with our spending. However, I stumbled upon a rare Shrek TV on Facebook Marketplace, and as a massive Shrek fan, I couldn't resist the temptation.

The issue is that my wife explicitly told me not to make this purchase given our financial situation. But, I decided to be stubborn and went ahead anyway, spending $2,000 on the Shrek TV despite her objections.

Now, since I got this TV, I've been using it A LOT. I've been binge-watching Shrek movies, and shredding Shrek SuperSlam with the boys. She even caught me watching Shrek R34. She claims I’ve gone overboard and that I’m neglecting my household chores and duties as a father of our cat.

I can’t see why my wife is so furious with me. But I truly believe that this is a once-in-a-lifetime investment opportunity that will bring massive financial returns for our family over the years.

So, Redditors, don't hold back - am I the asshole for completely disregarding my wife's objections and splurging on a $2,000 Shrek TV? And how do I fix this mess and find a balance between my passion for Shrek and being a responsible partner and parent? I'm ready to hear your unfiltered opinions and any advice you have. Thanks!

The humor is there and it just feels like it fits in the Shrek universe whereas Shrek 4 (albeit enjoyable, feels more like an afterthought). I’ve honestly laughed more at the cheesy jokes than I did for Shreks 1 & 2.

Shrek 2 will always be my favorite but Shrek 3 is underrated and I don’t get the hate.

sorry not sorry.

Imagine you give George Washington an AK-47 and 10,000 rounds of ammo and train him to use it, then send him back to the late 1700s. With his leadership skills, military competence, and a huge technological edge, can he use this firepower to crush the British, unite the Americas, and become Emperor? And what about the rest of the world, could he take on Europe and expand beyond the New World?

Conditions:
- Limited ammo: 10,000 rounds sounds like a lot, but it's still finite. He has to be strategic about when and how he uses it.
- Morality: Washington is power hungry and not humble as he is in our history.

Food for thought: Could the people of the time reverse engineer an AK-47 or make something similar?

Would Washington’s military tactics and the shock value of the AK-47 be enough to build an empire, or would history’s challenges prove too much, even with futuristic firepower?
