big trivia FAIL posted:wanna know them reasons say them reasons I found a better paying job and purchased a home closer to my office than the 100+ year old shitbox apartment, where only one person in the entire building could shower at a time, I was living in.

To be fair, don't some cultures have a public name (official documents and formal settings), a social name (for acquaintances), a nickname (for buddies), a family name (what your mom and dad and sister call you), and a private name (reserved for besties and lovers)? I think Russia had that at some point. That's just first names. I can see how you'd get a lot of Bobs (on documents, at least) being born out of that.

ArbitraryC posted:Maybe it's just a cultural thing but my brother and I basically just left the house during the day with some snacks and came back when the sun started going down, and this was when we were p young. "weird how people do X when I used to do Y 40 years ago in a vastly different social setting" but yeah same, one time i was babysitting my brother and 8 of his neighborhood friends, i told them someone buried gold under a big tree in this empty field right in the middle of town and they all believed it. they ended up "borrowing" a bunch of shovels from the neighbors, "sneaking out" past me while I "wasn't looking," and "dug so many holes the got damng tree died the next month." the only evidence that anything odd had happened, aside from the scads of onlookers which saw a line of children emerge from the woods, shovels in hand, was the pile of shovels I failed to dispose of by the time my mom got home. the fact that my brother and his friends had a Pigpen size dust cloud around them wasn't out of character at all, i'm saying.

The idea that an elementary school would/should be watching the exits doesn't seem totally absurd to me. When I was in high school back in the day they used to put at least a cursory effort into stopping us from sneaking out to our cars to go somewhere off-campus. And we were certainly at less driving to McDonalds than some little kids would be wandering around.

The complaint has nothing to do with the fact that children are generally fine out on their own and that parents are free to let their own kids who they know will be okay roam around. The supervision provided by a school should be held to a higher standard that because, while that's okay for some kids, it won't be for others.

Palpek posted:They are different versions of the same name just like for example Robert and Bob but in Russian such variety is way more common and often goes beyond 2 types in popular use. There's also the thing with having 2 surnames where the second one is derived from the father's first name and that adds additional complications. So, you could be John Smith Johnson? Sounds like fun times.

HerStuddMuffin posted:No, I imagine elementary schools have locking doors. I worked in an American school district up through 2011 and none of the buildings had doors that were locked to prevent exiting the building. I would be pretty surprised if that sort of thing would even be allowed, I think building codes would tend to prohibit that as a potential safety risk in the event of a fire or other need to evacuate the building.

HerStuddMuffin posted:No, I imagine elementary schools have locking doors. Also, they did not notice. You...you can't just lock up all the exiting doors. You can lock them so they can't open from the outside, but its pretty illegal the other way around in most places.

Outrail posted:What would happen if a 6 year old wandered away from their parents house and a cop picked them up? CPS gets called and there's an investigation and the kids may get taken away, there was a surprising E/N success story where this happened to a goon and his wife who actually listened to the wake up call and fixed their poo poo. Also it's bad enough for a school to lose track of two kids, it's very much worse to not immediately report it to the cops.

it doesn't really matter how old the kids are, a fundamental part of the schools responsibility is keeping the kids there, and they failed

Margaret in Greek is pearl, while marguerite is the French word for a daisy, so someone who wanted to appear learned would go with Daisy or Pearl over Maggie or Meg.

I would be pretty surprised if that sort of thing would even be allowed, I think building codes would tend to prohibit that as a potential safety risk in the event of a fire or other need to evacuate the building. It is trivial to put crash bars hooked up to an alarm on all emergency exits and have a controlled "normal" exit(s) being staffed. This happens all the time. Source: former code enforcement, currently a computer toucher who works at large data facilities. This is how it's safely and legally done even in WAY higher security environments than schools (seriously.....I have to go through biometric auth man traps and sally ports to get into most of the facilities I do work in).

He sold his gaming rig, strictly limited his Internet stuff, started getting mental health through school, wife back in school or getting ready to, cleaned up and then moved out of the shithole and got a better place and they kept it, if not immaculate, tidy. They got the kids back. If I'm remembering right it was a follow-up months later in an E/N thread.

Howard Stern interviewed a woman who was a professional feedee or whatever. She did it professionally, guys would send her $200 grocery store gift cards and ask her to eat what she bought on camera. Mike's definitely a feeder and they probably have a similar relationship to the couple in the interview, minus the voyeur stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPXPAA65OoE

So what's Dear Prudence up to this weekDear Prudence posted:Fiancé worried my genes will affect his son’s “package:” I have recently become engaged to my longtime boyfriend. Whenever the topic of children came up, he would insist he only wanted girls because his siblings were all brothers so another male in the family would be boring. Last week, however, he forwarded me an email from his brother (also his best man) with some information I needed for wedding planning, but the email was part of a much larger running conversation. I was mortified when I read his real reason for not wanting a son is that my “Asian genes” would mean his son would have a “small package!” My brother was bullied by jocks using this idiotic stereotype in high school so I was incredibly angered, but I haven’t said anything about what I read yet. He has begun asking why I am so distant lately, but I have no idea how to confront him Oh..

I (27F) badly hurt my new boyfriend (34M). He doesn't seem upset about it but I can't stop feeling guilty.quote:We've been together less than two months. Three days ago we talked about some really emotionally charged stuff. Afterwards I was still feeling really jumpy and I was crying, so as I was leaving I stopped to clear my head. I didn't notice that my boyfriend followed me out, and when he grabbed my waist to hug me from behind it startled me really badly and I panicked. I stomped on his foot and kicked him in the shin before I registered that it wasn't a stranger grabbing me. He should and . I don't think he's ready for a relationship and if they just keep at it she is eventually going to get conditioned into being the abusive partner he thinks he deserves, and that she's afraid she might become.
