Reddit user Majomember420 asked: 'What was the most bizarre "compliment" you got?'

A compliment is always flattering, right?

Well...


Sometimes people make backhanded compliments which are really insults. But this article isn't about that.

This is about the compliments that leave you scratching your head, like the time a male friend told me I had "little, tiny, stripper feet." I was unaware strippers are known for their little feet—or that my friend might have more than a passing interest in feet.

Reddit user Majomember420 asked:

GOP Senator Gets Blunt Reality Check After Comparing Trump Tariff 'Pain' To Home Renovation

Liberal Wisconsin Judge Calls Out Elon Musk In Victory Speech—And It's Everything

Liberal judge Susan Crawford called out billionaire Elon Musk in her victory speech after winning a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, basking in successfully beating her Republican opponent Brad Schimel and ensuring that the nonpartisan court’s narrow 4-3 liberal majority remains intact despite Musk's efforts to sway the race.

Musk fueled the high-stakes race, having poured more than $20 million into supporting Schimel, according to state campaign records. That includes $3 million to the state Republican Party—$2 million of which was donated just last week. Due to state election laws, large contributions must be funneled through political parties before reaching candidates.
