A Caganer (Catalan pronunciation: [kəɣəˈne], Western Catalan: [kaɣaˈne]) is a figurine depicted in the act of defecation appearing in nativity scenes in Catalonia and neighbouring areas with Catalan culture such as Andorra, Valencia, and Northern Catalonia (in southern France). It is most popular and widespread in these areas, but can also be found in other areas of Spain (Murcia), Portugal, and southern Italy (Naples).

The name "El Caganer� literally means "the crapper" or "the shitter". Traditionally, the figurine is depicted as a peasant, wearing the traditional Catalan red cap (the barretina) and with his trousers down, showing a bare backside, and defecating.

Caganer, I always smile when you post because I just envision those nativity figurines copping a squat. I�ve been searching for years for one that meshes with my dad�s nativity set.

Isn�t the symbolism like, baby Jesus loves the highest of the highs and the lowest of the lows, even the dude taking a poo poo not five feet from him?

"The caganer was the most mischievous and out-of-place character of the pessebre's [otherwise] idyllic landscape; he was the "Other", with everything that entails, and as the "Other", was accepted, in a liberal vein, as long as he did not aim to occupy the foreground. The caganer represented the spoilsport that we all have inside of us, and that's why it is not surprising that it was the most beloved figure among the children and, above all, the adolescents, who were already beginning to feel rather like outsiders at the family celebration."

I know this is from...pages back but it revived in me a 20 year long rage.

In 4th grade I had a 106 in Science class. I was a really bookish kid in elementary school, I read at recess, etc. - a complete incorrigible nerd. Did extra credit assignments I didn't need for fun to keep my grade over 100.

This little shithead in my class who was failing, or near to, copied my test answers word for word on a chapter test and we both got 0s because "the teacher had no way of knowing who cheated" and that little bitch (gently caress you, Samantha) wouldn't confess while I was crying and begging to not give me a 0. How could you not know which of us cheated, using even a sliver of critical thought? They made me get the test signed by my parents because I "may have cheated" and my grade dropped to a 98.

The next greatest "gently caress you" I got from a teacher was my honors 8th grade history teacher (who I corrected in class because I was an aspie little poo poo that didn't know that was super bad) who refused to write me a recommendation for AP World Geography going into high school, which was required for the class (only for this AP class as the only "freshman" AP offered). Didn't matter that I never dropped below a 95 in his class, he "didn't think I had the emotional maturity for AP" (I graduated with enough AP credits to be a mid-sophomore in college so shows what he loving knew).

In short gently caress bitchy teachers who hold back kids who do well and genuinely enjoy learning just to be lovely. I wasn't good at sports and was too gangly and boob-y to be remotely accepted by most my pre-pubescent peers and being academically bright was all I had until high school when suddenly being over 5' and having boobs was totally normal and I had a bunch of really encouraging and awesome teachers

The fact that you are still fuming about something that happened in 8th grade suggests that maybe you still don't have the emotional maturity required for freshman AP world geography.

i actually got sent to an alternative school for most of middle school. the assumption is that if you're troubled emotionally you must not be smart, there were no advanced classes and the work was really easy.

i got back into high school, but they wouldn't let me take anything AP. i can understand not allowing calc since they didn't really teach geometry or trig but englishwise i could have done well.

so then in college it sucked doing engineering and all these liberal arts classes... taking 15/18 credits or taking classes over the summer while other breezed by with 12

luckily now i'm a computer toucher and they can pretend they always believed in me when i visit their shithole town at christmas

It's never used that way in healthy relationships and every post about it is either one extreme of "I suck at everything but do one good thing for my partner, why don't they respect my love language" or the other "my partner does so much for me but I feel neglected because they don't do the one thing, why don't they respect my love language?"

In an ideal world it'd be used to identify what other people do that suggests they love you, but in r/relationships it's always about what they aren't doing that suggests they don't love them.

On the other hand, your entire exposure to the concept is from the hosed-up relationship forum, so there's a sampling bias in your experience here.

Me and my gf hav discussed love languages before and concluded "I'm glad we both appreciate each other", and also I have never posted about this functional dynamic on reddit.

My [28 M] brother [22 M] thinks his Rick and Morty impressions are good but everyone makes fun of him for it behind his back. How can I break it to him gently?

quote:

I'm just going to keep this short, really. My brother introduced me to R&M during season 2's run. It's a fun show. He's really into it. He's also really into doing his Morty and Mr. Meeseeks impressions.

He does them every chance he gets. Parties. Out in public. Seeing anything remotely Rick and Morty related. No one has the heart to tell them they're not only not even close, but really tough on the ears. So much to the point that it sends our dogs into barking fits.

He seems to be fairly proud of the impressions. He does other impressions too, some of which are great, others miss the mark. But these are just getting too much. I feel like an idiot for this but the second hand embarrassment is getting to be a bit much.

Is there any way I can tell him to just knock it off entirely without crushing him? He's not a sensitive guy but he doesn't taking criticism well to begin with.

Haifisch: Nov 13, 2010; Objection! I object! That was... objectionable!; Taco Defender

My fianc� [25f] dumped me [26M] on Tuesday. Today she tells me she wants the apartment to herself tomorrow for her Valentine�s date.

quote:

I�ll try to keep this short because I�m so stunned I think I�ve stopped being able to process things. I�ve [26M] been with my fianc� [25F] for 4 years. We�ve been engaged since last year and actively planning the wedding.

Last month, we moved to a new city across the country because my fianc� got an amazing job offer. I wasn�t happy about it since I had to quit my job and all our family and friends were in the city we left. I was kind of a jerk during the moving process, but I�ve come around since getting here.

My fianc� kept talking about this guy [late 20s maybe?] she worked with at her new job, and it made it me uneasy. I went to a few after-work events where he showed up, and he seemed like a total rear end in a top hat. Very full of himself artistic type. I didn�t like the way he interacted with my fianc� and we would occasionally fight about it.

Tuesday night she got home really late, sat me down and broke up with me. She said she felt an immediate bond with this coworker that�s stronger than anything she�s ever felt before. This from the woman who just a few months ago I held in my arms while watching the stars as she told me she�s never felt more at peace than when she�s beside me. I laid awake on the couch all night feeling like I was continually being punched in the stomach.

I didn�t fall asleep until 3:00pm yesterday, and stayed asleep until this morning when she woke me up. Basically, she�s having this rear end in a top hat over for valentines day and demanded she get the apartment to herself.

Between the move, all the deposits we had been putting for wedding stuff, and not having a job since we moved out here, I have literally no money for a hotel or anything else. We got into a big fight because I called her out and said she knew I had nowhere else to go. She said that�s not her problem, she�s done solving my problems for me (what???!) and that I needed to fix this one on my own.

I guess his roommate is having a date over so my fianc� offered our place for her date with the rear end in a top hat. She says this is happening no matter what I say.

So yeah. What the hell am I supposed to do?

TL;DR: After uprooting me from my home town a month ago, my fianc� dumped me on Tuesday, and is now demanding the apartment to herself tomorrow for a date with this rear end in a top hat artist from her new job. I have no money to do anything else.

Edit: I appreciate everyone telling me I should stand my ground. I told my fiance I wouldn't leave the apartment, but I don't think it's a threat I can carry through with. I will be emotionally devastated if I have to watch the woman I love and care for more than anyone else date someone right in front of me in my own home. Other suggestions would be appreciated.

Edit 2 Thank you so much everyone for all your suggestions. I can't keep up with all the comments, it's almost overwhelming given everything that's going on in my life right now. I'm going to take a walk and try to clear my head. I just can't bring myself to tell my family and friends what's happened. It feels so embarrassing. I like the ideas about trying to reach a compromise. I have a lot to think about

There�s a follow up:

[UPDATE- One Year Later] My fianc� [25f] dumped me [26M] on Tuesday. Today she tells me she wants the apartment to herself tomorrow for her Valentine�s date.

quote:

I�ve [27/m] spent the last year working very hard to improve myself. Now that it�s Valentine�s Day again, I was thinking about what a dark place I was in last year. I didn�t have the strength to post an update back then, but now that I�ve had some time to heal, I wanted to let everyone know how I�m doing.
Thank you all to everyone who helped. You were the only support I had last year, and it meant the world.
It looks like my original post was deleted. I can still see the text when I log in so here is the old tl;dr:
After uprooting me from my home town a month ago, my fianc� dumped me on Tuesday, and is now demanding the apartment to herself tomorrow for a date with this rear end in a top hat artist from her new job. I have no money to do anything else.
Part of the reason I didn�t update afterward was because I was extremely embarrassed with how things turned out. It�s only because of some intense therapy that I�m able to be honest and ok with telling this story.
Basically, I decided to make one last big attempt at winning her [26/f] back.
Right after we got engaged, my ex had a close relative succumb to a longtime illness. This relative was very happy that she lived long enough to see us get engaged. When my ex was a child, this relative had given my ex a charm that she wore ALL the time. A few months after the relative died, my ex lost the charm, and it was like the relative died a second time.
As we packed up the apartment to move to the new city, I found the charm. Rather than give it back immediately, I decided that I would keep it in a safe place and surprise my ex with it at our wedding. I thought it would be a meaningful way to include this relative in a moment where she would be deeply missed.
Somehow, I got in my head that if I showed her the charm on Valentine�s Day, she�d remember everything that we shared and that I could cut through whatever fog she was caught up in.
I was under the impression that my ex would come home after work by herself to get the place ready for her date. I was planning to use this alone time to give her the charm and either win her back, or lose decisively and leave before her date showed up. But instead, she showed up with the rear end in a top hat from her job. That threw me through a loop big time, and it was INCREDIBLY awkward. He was patronizing. She became LIVID that I �stole� her charm. I struggled to articulate myself. It was the most embarrassed I�ve ever been.
I got out of there and literally walked around all night until it got so cold I couldn�t stand it any more. I went back to the apartment building around 4am, and in what was a personal low point, fell asleep in the hallway outside our apartment.
But that was the low point. There have been high points since then. I was able to move back to my hometown, and my old employer gave me my old job back. I even met someone else and we dated for a while. We just broke up though. It sucks to be alone again on Valentine�s Day, but I�ve learned it�s ok to be sad every once in a while. And compared to last year, this year is practically a celebration. Therapy gave me a wonder perspective on life and some great coping skills for when times get difficult.
As for my ex, I heard she married the rear end in a top hat guy from work. Her sister would text me occasionally, and apparently her family hates the guy. Whatever, it�s not my problem any more.
Lastly, I want to thank everyone on reddit, sincerely. People offered to buy me a ticket home. Other people offered to hang out with me if we happened to be in the same city. Some people even offered just to skype with me so I could have someone to talk with. Even though I didn�t respond, your messages meant so much to me. Thank you.
Tl;dr: I tried to win my ex back, it ended terribly. My life is mostly back to normal again.

Who wants to help me decipher this mess of sibling drama?

My sister [31/F] excluded my twin and I [26/F's] from our other sister's [30/F] birthday plans in March. My twin is not going, and I agreed to go but the more I think about it the angrier I get.

quote:

My sister Casey turned 30 in January. For months prior my twin Shelly, and older sister Adrian and I were all planning her bday, as it was supposed to be a big deal because she was turning 30.

The original plan was to fly to San Francisco for a week. We all had plenty of time to save and make arrangements. As I was spending a few days looking into airbnb's for us, Adrian called and said SF would be too expensive. I understood it'd be expensive so asked what else we should do for a surprise.

We came up with the idea for a weekend in NYC. I've been there plenty of times because it's only a few hours driving from home, and Casey has never been, so I was left in charge of working out the details. As I was looking into airbnb's again, Adrian one day texted in our sister's group chat "Hey Casey what if we all went to Boston for ur bday?".

Me and Shelly both saw and agreed that it was hosed up to not consult us and then change the plan like that. But fine, it was about Casey. I called Adrian and asked why she did that and she said that she thought Casey would be too anxious in NYC. Casey IS an anxious person, so I relented even though it was annoying she didn't talk to us as we all were planning.

One day Shelly got angry and called me and told me to look at our group chat, as Adrian was making it seem to Casey that she was planning Casey's bday all herself. She was texting and saying stuff like, "Don't worry, I'm planning a great bday for you ". I was trying to play devil's advocate and saying it wasn't THAT big of a deal to try to calm Shelly, but she was already pretty angry that Adrian had been ruining every plan we set in motion all without Casey's knowledge.

So eventually Boston also got cut. Casey finally vocalized she wanted to go to some event in our hometown (we all live in different cities and hometown is close to Boston and halfway between us). We were disappointet she just wanted to spend a night home for her bday but it's what she wanted.

Two weeks before her bday Adrian called and said that she didn't think we should go to the event and should find something else because Casey didn't seem thrilled about going.

So me and Shelly kept searching desperately to find something. As time started ticking down nothing got set up like the other plans we had. Adrian told us that she was just gonna take Casey out to dinner and we should come. Due to the short notice we had no way to get to them so they just went out with their husbands.

I ended up finding a day on the weekend after he bday to meet her for lunch.

In between that though, me and Shelly were talking to Adrian about how we were upset nothing was happening for Casey's bday now. Adrian ended up saying she was taking Casey to a resort in March for her bday. I'd like to add, they are staying for one night and it's only less than an hour away from where they live. Me and Shelly started asking why we weren't told about this or invited. Adrian got on the defensive and started saying she intended on inviting us and it had just been planned "that day" and she just forgot.

Shelly wasn't buying it. I kept prodding because I could tell Adrian was lying and had no intention of inviting us even though we all had been planning Casey's bday, and we only found out after prodding and being sad that we all weren't doing anything. Adrian kept insisting she planned on inviting us. She even called me, something she does rarely, and started asking how I was and what was going on in my life, but I could tell she was doing it to see how mad I was because she couldn't tell via texting. I asked more questions and she kept saying she intended on inviting us etc etc over and over.

Fine. I decided to not press any further and agreed to go the resort. Shelly did not agree and is not going and is still pretty annoyed by it.
I talked to Casey about how her bday was and she told me it was fine but she was disappointed that we all didn't go to that event in our hometown. Again, Adrian had mislead us because she didn't want to do the plan we had set.

The other day Adrian called me to work out the details of going. I told her I took a day off work to travel to meet them near where they live and the next day we'd all go to the resort (me, Casey, Adrian, and their husbands). During this conversation Adrian told me that at check in I'd have to stay in the car because she only booked for 4 people (them and their husbands) and I'd have to sneak in.

So. Clearly, as was obvious, she had no intention of inviting us and then lied about it when she got caught.

Also during this conversation she told me that because she paid for the resort I had to buy them all dinner to earn my keep.

I sort of was silent and processing it all, but had to go because I was at work.

Now I've been thinking about it and I REALLY don't want to go. I want to celebrate with Casey but I'm really angry at Adrian.

She ruined every plan we set forth, was taking credit for finding stuff to do even though she hadn't done anything, and then made a plan without us and without intention of telling us and Casey has no idea any of this was happening.

And honestly, it's a really loving lame plan. We had these great plans and plenty of time to execute them but Adrian kept ruining it. She never travels anywhere unless it's to her husband's family's house in Florida. So her big birthday plan ended up being taking Casey to a resort literally an hour from their house, and one Casey has already been to before. Plans went from San Francisco, to NYC, to Boston, to a gala thing Casey wanted to do, to an hour from their house for one night.

So what do I do? Do I not go? I guarantee if I say I'm not going, Adrian is going to turn it around on me and guilt me for "ditching". But if I go, I'm going to have to sneak around and pay for dinner for all of them even though I wasn't even loving invited. I had to literally catch Adrian in the act to get invited.

I'm pretty angry about it right now.

TL;DR: Sister ruins bday plans for months for other sister, finally sets plan without telling my twin and I and only invited us after getting caught. Not sure if I should even go.

Plan one: Go to SF. Nixed by Adrian.
Plan two: Go to NYC. Nixed by Adrian in an underhanded manner (plans meant to be a secret; instead, messages sister openly in group chat as though it was solely her idea)
Plan three: Go to Boston. Nixed by Casey (the eldest sister whose birthday it is).
Plan four: Go to their hometown for an event. Allegedly nixed by Casey, actually nixed by Adrian.
Plan five: Casey and Adrian have dinner, excluding the twins. This happens.
Plan six: Casey and Adrian go to a resort together, excluding the twins. This is yet to happen.

Don't you love sisters?!?!

Did she not ever call casey and ask her what's up? Make solid plans? I'm a little confused why all communication seemed to go through group chat or adrian.

She wants to gently caress OP

One of the worst ways of flirting ever transcribed in text, but this was my guess.

I'd have gone with "It's her fetish."

are you slow? NOBODY dates in serial (only goes out with one person 24/7 with zero overlap)

if you decide not to date someone and that reason is their sexual activity then you are slut shaming, period, end of story. you really should familiarize yourself with the current discourse on sex negativity and the patriarchal attempts to sex shame as a form of control

This is just the dumbest poo poo.

I'm not biting, just pointing it out. hth

My wife (29f) left me (33m) and our family (9f) (4m) 3 weeks ago for a new man (?m)who she met doing drugs. He died after being hit by a car today and she wants back.

My wife (29f) left me (33m) our daughter (9f) and son (4m) for a man she met at a party and began a cocaine binge that eventually turned into her abandoning us.

We live in a small community and today there was a truck that went out of control and hit some pedestrians one being her new bf. He died from the impact of the accident, I honesty think it's hilarious and the greatest karma ever. She's now begging to come back and I don't want her.

Is this wrong to think it's funny and good karma this man died and she's now begging for forgiveness?

TL;dr wife (29f) abandoned me (33m)and our kids (9f), (4m). Her new boyfriend died in an accident now she wants back
