Here's the last one, please consider this my latest entry in the "please don't appoint people as work spouses, why do you need a work spouse" category My [26F] boyfriend [26M] of three months told me he held hands with his "work wife" [??F] on a work trip. I'm concerned and I keep thinking about it. quote:My boyfriend of three months made it clear to me that he had a "work wife" early on in our relationship. He told me it was nothing to worry about and the girl was in a long term relationship with the same guy for years anyway. I never heard the term before and didn't think much of it. I hope this lady runs from this dude because yeah, 3 months in is a little early for this crap! In fact there may not be a good time for it at all!! I feel the phrase "the one he comes home to" is the biggest red flag there it's just so... loving weird. Like when people use the whole menu analogy unironically.

Ham Sandwiches posted:I'm a [23F] living with my {28M] boyfriend and he is killing my sleep. Dude needs the hell clock i was gifted in college, designed, I assume, by argentian nazi clones. It had a non negotiable 3 senses wake up system consisting of a piercing alarm sound that when you hit snooze went to sleep for a random interval of minutes from 1-7, a light that slowly turned up the light intensity from on to somehow even more on, and wafted out your choice of smells like “moldering rear end” and “currently active house fire”. To turn off this mechanical hell beast you had to push snooze and flip a switch on it simultaneously as, guess what, it had battery backup cells so unplugging it did nothing. It weighed a good 15 pounds and I remember it didnt even break a little when it got flung from my dorm window by a roomate who couldnt figure out how to turn it off as it grew ever louder and brighter, coating him in its odorous funk.

They also make alarm clock mats that you have to get out of bed and step on to turn off that accomplish a similar task but also don't utilize techniques refined during the Cold War.

Haifisch posted:I can't be an rear end in a top hat. I just.. can't. I hate being a monster, I prefer it much more when my emotions work on some level, and I know what it's like to be treated like rubbish. I've seen it and experienced it, and I don't want to purposefully do that to make some girl like me. Just seems.... gamy. Disreputable. lovely. It's weird how every single incel type immediately jumps from "nobody wants to bang me" to "oh well, guess that means I have to start treating them like dirt." One almost might think that there was some kind of common trait these guys share that makes women avoid them... but it would have to be something kind of really fatal character flaw for them to be so consistently rejected, like oh I don't know thinking that abuse is the best way to get a relationship. But that clearly can't be the case because they're such nice guys.

I kinda wonder what he's doing where they get absolutely no vibes its a date, like just coffee breaks or something? You'd think at some point if he was actually trying to make it a date it'd be obvious whether or not he awkwardly added (you know, as a DATE date, not just as friends) to the invitation

In the story he says he has self-esteem issues. I could certainly see that as being a dealbreaker for these women he's asking out--a lack of confidence coupled with the weird redpill-adjacent views he holds are probably enough to make most self-respecting women abandon ship as soon as they go on the first coffee "date" with him.

at the big family gathering just explain you ran this past the MIL first, she said it was fine, no one said the SIL didn't want anything to do with leather, but at the end of the day the gift was over $1000 and if it wasn't wanted it could have been transferred into a donation to PETA or some other organisation but that because SIL hosed it up now the animals will all die

I think even if they talked normally most friend friends wouldn't go out for a 1 on 1 dinner then head back to his place for some drinks and netflix. Like dude has to be picking the most mundane work lunch style "dates" for no one to pick up on his intent. Obviously flirting should be there too it's just even beyond that it's p funny.

I know someone who works for them and she is sane, smart, and level headed, even if she is a vegan and won't take her kid to he zoo. Really nice person. PETA gets a bad rap because of taking things to extremes to the point where it's detrimental to animal welfare, such as with the complete no-go stance on zoos. I admire compassion for animals and I love animals myself, but I don't think an anecdote about one nice, intelligent PETA member outweighs the damage they do to essential animal conservation programs. EDIT: And this is just my opinion but I think zoos are also important because being able to see an animal in a semi-natural environment goes a long way to helping people build empathy for that animal and species. If you never see or interact with wildlife, it's common not to care about it, and many animals that critically need support in their natural habitat to prevent extinction aren't ones you're going to see wandering around. By putting a living face to natural preservation, zoos can help convince people to support conservation efforts and oppose overdevelopment.
