Hobo Erotica posted:He's echoing it in the FB comments too, convinced that they wear hijabs to humiliate us, it's how they wage jihad. Like he thinks they just do it to wind us up. It's quite interesting, you're right, it does say a lot about his mjndset. It's not something I've heard explicitly referenced before last time i visited my family one of them had a smallish rant (exaggerated arm movements, slightly louder than normal inside speaking voice, face 3 shades redder than usual) about a woman they saw in a hijab being a hypocrite for having a go at a guy wearing a one nation shirt because they're both doing it for attention or something.

A friend told me that his in-laws came to visit for xmas, along with his parents, and the father in law decided to share that he voted NO in the SSM. He said he has never seen his wife (the daughter of the no voter) cry as hard or as much as she did that night and the entire family stopped talking to him for the rest of the weekend. its currently day 4 and hes not left the guest room all day.

My mum told me a story about her buying a house at 27 or so. She had to go to three banks, not for comparisons but because the first two told her "girls don't buy houses". She had to find a sub 40 year old bank manager who gave her 30k (she spent 20k on a unit in Elsternwick) and she made it into 70k then bought our 3 bed family home with it in the inner east. Basically I learned that my dad is a bad provider and mum is a baller.

Why are you guys pushing for learning cooking instead of pushing for kids to learn how to maximise their economic power so they can pay others to cook

I've spent two Christmases in Finland now and the food has been better than any Australian Christmas lunch/dinner I've had. My family can cook, I just prefer the hosed up food they eat up here. Everybody prepares a glass jar of raw herring, raw onion and raw carrot soaked in a salty/sweet vinegar that I thought was disgusting last year but now I want to drink the vinegar after I'm done eating. Looks like this.

We just eat an esky of prawns and then a ham with some salads, it's pretty hard to gently caress that up. (my family is all decent at cooking though)Les Affaires posted:Why are you guys pushing for learning cooking instead of pushing for kids to learn how to maximise their economic power so they can pay others to cook Just advertise addictive food to them from the time they are kids and then reassure your investors that the future has been secured.

There's a lot of white nationalists in my husband's family up here but I only had to meet one of them this year. He kept talking about Finland's Nazi past and how sad he thinks it is when people are hurt for having different beliefs. My fam can be racist too but they're usually just stupid and don't know what foreign sounding words mean.

Since we all moved out of home my mum doesn't really bother cooking too much, nor should she, she fed us 6 giant, ravenous monster children for a big chunk of her life. I'm interested in cooking so I do most of it this time of year and mum can chill a bit. I think if you go back to your folks' place for Christmas and whinge about the food you should put up or shut up. Unless your mum refuses to let you in the kitchen, then you have my sympathies and you should at least pretend to like the food

My dads career was wiped out by paul keating’s budget cuts in the eighties and he vowed never to vote Labor again but the most recent mob of the LNP and some stern talking to from me over the last few years has had him reconsidering. It’s a start i guess.

My mom being French means I both know how to cook good food and also she's a giant socialist since she grew up in France in the 60s/70s when student protests were the thing to do. My husband likes to mention Charles de Gaulle's name just to hear her start yelling in a language he doesn't understand.

I never come to blows with family over politics because they literally concede that I am probably right but they don't care because they're not very good people. Literally. They literally concede that they are FYGM. "We're not very good people" is a direct quote. So... no arguments to be had really. They're like the bad guys in a children's story: no grey, no believing they're right, just straight up doing bad things because they want to. I once got a relative to agree that weed should be legal and then she told me that she still didn't want weed legalised anyway because gently caress weed smokers.
