chemtrail huffer posted:Can I marry my (potential) step-sister? (self.legaladvice) Haha the narcissist mom totally started dating his girlfriend's dad when he went no contact just so that she could pull this poo poo (and force further involvement in his life). I feel like someone who is naive enough to have to ask for legal advice about incest here doesn't warrant this level of master manipulation, though. She should just tell him the air outside is poison so he can never leave her house.

I [30M] work in a government office [20s-60sM/F]. Our managers are throwing a Staff Christmas Breakfast during work hours in the office. It feels exclusionary to me and not appropriate for a public sector setting. Is there a way to bring it up without being a grinch, or is it better to suck it up?jewsdoitbest posted:I have worked in this office for about 10 months. As seen from my username I do not celebrate Christmas. As far as I know I am the only non-christian in the office. I got notice today that the office managers are throwing a Staff Christmas Breakfast as an appreciation for the year. The notice specifically said Christmas and that they wanted to celebrate the Season with us.

I always hated it when they insisted on praying before potlucks and poo poo at a government agency, because I too am not Christian, but "Christmas" is like the most secular holiday so just appreciate the free breakfast.

The reddit comments are basically just all saying "if you don't want to be that guy, just don't? It's hardly a christian event anymore anyways there's no reason to ruin it for everyone". his response was to delete the OP and whine quote:This is the whole problem is that its so ingrained as a Christian holiday you don't even realize it/refuse to acknowledge it. This dude is like the Jewish version of a turbo atheist sperglord who can't tolerate grandma saying grace once a year.

I wonder if sperglords like that even know what a Christian holiday celebration looks like? Because a Holiday potluck at work sure as poo poo doesn’t involve prayers, candles, or crosses and getting butthurt about it is some serious ah blooeyblooeybloo tumblr bullshit, and I say this as a staunch anti-religious person in general and someone who (secularly) celebrates the solstice in specific.

Dude, people pitch a loving fit if the Starbucks holiday cups don't have the baby Jesus on them or some poo poo these days. The holidays bring out the worst/weirdest in people. If they referred to it as a 'Holiday party' instead, someone else would probably have a poo poo-fit. E: people should chill about other religions and shrug it off. My boss is the type to silently say grace to herself before eating anything, and somebody got pissy about it. I'm like, yeah, I just stop talking for about 20 seconds when she pops open a Tupperware.

I made it to the end of the thread! Seriously, I started reading with 10k+ unread replies. And this is a loving active thread. I learned to love and to hate certain posters. I named a role playing character Pnurtis. Pnurtis died (a beautiful heroic death). I feel like I've been running a marathon, only I'm now fatter because I've been reading this thread instead of, you know, running...

People don't know what "excluded" means anymore. "Hey, can I play kickball with you guys?" "No, gently caress You!" - Being Excluded "Look at those assholes over there playing kickball, don't they understand that some of us don't play kickball, how can they be so cruel and insensitive?" - Not Being Excluded, Just Being a gently caress

My [27M] best friend [27M] was arrested for possession of child pornography five years ago and I don't know what to do. Hey everyone, Five years ago, my best friend (Jason) since middle school was arrested and tried guilty for downloading and uploading child pornography. He was using a P2P application for his downloading, so my guess was his uploading was allowing the downloads to seed after completion. I'm not sure what to do. I've been trying so hard to be there for him and be a friend to him after just about everyone abandoned him. Lately, it's become very difficult. He needs help, I'm aware of this. He told me he sought therapy after his arrest, but he no longer goes, attributing it to working too much. Red flag number one. As I said, lately it has become very difficult to be his friend. Not only has he become arrogant and inconsiderate, but he's also become bold about his pedohilia. I'll give you a few examples. Arrogant: He's become very rude, and acts like he didn't do anything to lose the friends that he lost. Our friend Shaun's landlord refuses to allow Jason over his place, and Jason will not accept that and thinks that Shaun's landlord is just an rear end in a top hat. Inconsiderate: He'll ask me to hang out, say he'll be over in 10, then an hour later he's still on Xbox playing Call of Duty. He knew Shaun's landlord didn't want him at Shaun's place but he still insisted we go there numerous times. Bold: I believe someone is playing a sick joke on him and sending diapers and stuff to his mailbox. He takes pictures of the diapers and baby supply coupons and posts it to Facebook asking if any parents would like anything he got in the mail. It's infuriating. Shaun and I have been talking about Jason a lot lately. We both don't know how much longer we can stay friends with him. We keep uncovering new stuff or drawing these connections between two seemingly harmless things Jason used to do or say. After the Harvey Weinstein thing, Jason vehemently defended the actions of Weinstein, completely blaming the girls for agreeing to sleeping with him. Defending sexual misconduct...another red flag. Recently we discovered his fetish for male sissies. While I understand that has nothing to do with pedophilia, it has alot to do with his sexual interests. Being interested in small hairless males dressed as females raises a flag with me. It tells me he's using that as a substitute for child porn. We have also discovered a few very harrowing YouTube channels that he subscribes to. He subscribes to channels of little girls...LITTLE GIRLS...singing or dancing or doing flexible ballet poo poo. I watched a few just to make sure it wasn't relatives of his that he follows for the sake of giving them followers. Nope. Girls from other countries. Little 9 year old girls that lip sync and dance to Beyonce songs. All the anger I felt towards him five years ago all returned at once when I found this stuff. He subbed to it on his very easy-to-find YouTube page. Not some throwaway YT account. He has changed the story leading up to his arrest so many times. First he told Shaun and I that it was sexting with a girl he didn't know was underage. Then he told us it was an accidental download. Then he told us the police and local news fabricated what they found. Now he simply acknowledge it because he wants to forget that dark chapter of his life. The problem is though, nobody else will forget. Ever. His mother is also an issue. She's an enabler to him. After the courts told him that he was not allowed on a computer, his mother still gave him a laptop to use. I know this because Shaun's brother was arrested at Jason's house for having loose pills when Jason was getting a random visit from his PO. During the scramble to hide stuff, his mom came into Jason's room and took a laptop and a tablet out and went to hide them. So she knew! I know my friend has a problem. I love him to death and I only wish the best for him. I know that no amount of therapy will change him though. He is attracted to children and that's all there is to it. He can't help that. I'm not defending him in any way, so don't think that. It's just, for me to believe that therapy will change him is like sending a gay guy to one of those "Pray the Gay Away" camps and expecting him to come out as a heterosexual man. Doesn't work like that. As far as I know, he has never acted on his pedophilia. He's never touched anyone or raped anyone. He was just watching it on his computer. I stayed friends with him willingly after his arrest because of a few reasons. I was in disbelief, I care about him so much, and I was afraid he might have made an attempt on his life. I felt like he needed someone there when nobody else would be there. Former friends won't speak to me now. I'm guilty by association because I chose to stay friends with Jason. I knew the risks and I took it...for him. Now, I'm getting older, I'm getting married, and I want to start a family. I want to have kids. As the days go on, I grow increasingly more adamant that I don't want him in my life when I have kids. I don't want my children to grow up with their dad having a convicted sex offender and pedophile as a best friend, or even a guy he occasionally has lunch with. I don't need child protective services knocking at my door asking questions and trying to take my kids away because my friend is a sick pervert. I'm heartbroken. I'm hurt. I love Jason like he's my brother. He helped me through the hardest times in my life such as breakups, fights, my mom being sick, my parents separating, coming to terms with my underlying alcoholism, and severe suicidal depression. I can't even begin to express how grateful I am to him for being there when I needed someone. I just don't think I can continue to do the same for him. I don't think I'm strong enough to keep pretending that I tolerate his sexual issues. He won't open up. He always has this completely obviously fake masculine facade. He won't talk about it, and when he does open up about anything he just lies to me. He's a terrible liar and I know when he's trying to cover his tracks or make himself look good. I know if I were to bring it up to him, he'd get really defensive and combative. I'm afraid to even talk to him about this because I don't wanna find out that I'm the only tether holding him from jumping off the cliff. Reddit, what can I even do? How can I have this conversation with him? How do I move on from leaving a 15 year friendship with someone I have considered family for so long? TL;DR - My friend got arrested for posession of child porn, and now I don't know if I can stay friends with him.
