At least the “what do you pay for cable?” derail is mostly benign. I actually feel like I got an OK rate the other day. Had been paying ~$80/month for a home phone and 30mbps internet. What with Time Warner rebranding as Spectrum, I called them to see if I could maybe get a better deal. ~$110ish for enough channels to watch, phone, and 100mbps internet for just a little more than Sling was costing me. The rep was really nice too. Sad part is, I didn’t even get a survey that time. She told me that rate wasn’t going to change, either. It’s probably a lie, but I really want to believe. Anyway, that IS a good deal for living on the edge of nowhere.

I [27 F] have some weird food habits that my boyfriend [29 M] bullies me over.quote:The title pretty much explains it, I have a few odd acquired tastes that my boyfriend is constantly bullying me about. We've been together about 2 years, living together for 1. We are both college graduates, have engineering jobs that pay well, are pretty run of the mill average people - I'm not a slob or a weirdo but he makes me feel like one sometimes. I'll just be minding my own business eating my food, and he'll enter the room, look at me, and say something like 'that looks disgusting' or 'I can't believe you're eating that, that's so nasty' and 'gags that's so gross. First of all, Second, the two of you are in your late twenties and making a big deal about this stupid poo poo? Sever from your annoying rear end in a top hat boyfriend.

Batterypowered7 posted:I've only been at my job for two years now, I work in the US, and I get four weeks of paid vacation at the start of the year to be used whenever I please, and I get Christmas week off (paid) on top of that. Hell, even at my old job renting apartments, we accrued 10 hours of PTO a month. Where the hell do you work? I'm a contractor, and while I get solid health insurance and 401k, I get zero PTO. Most IT contractors like me have no PTO. Thankfully, my boss is very lenient and allows me to take a day or two off for a long weekend with my girlfriend or family, but I still take it unpaid. America owns and contracting is the most exploitative thing outside of big box retail or chain food service.

I had a bit of an epiphany. If UBI is ever instituted, a whole lot of manchildren are going to fall down the rabbit hole and never return. They won't be in the dating pool. They won't be "doing" jobs. They won't be dragging elderly relatives down. They won't bother to vote.

People shouldn't be big babies out their food and develop some actual kind of palate. They also shouldn't be mean to their partners no matter how much mayo they eat or how many pineapples they put on their pizza.

There's a difference between bullying and a tactless comment about something a partner does that bugs you, but if it bothers her that much she needs to have a proper talk with him about it, let him know it genuinely upsets her and ask him to stop with the snark or at least tone it way down. If he refuses, turns it into some massive thing or tries to make her feel bad about it, then there might be something worth whining to the internet about. Until then they should loving communicate and sort it out like grown ups.

It isn't a one-time "tactless comment," did you all miss all the stuff about how he does it constantly and is a huge rear end in a top hat about it? It's not a problem that can be solved by communication. When he's dramatically gagging and calling her food disgusting, it's not like he doesn't know he's being an rear end in a top hat.

I pull at a face at my partner whenever she gets a pineapple pizza and she jokes about how much pasta I eat. We have a laugh about it; it's not her fault she grew up on the west coast and it's not mine I grew up south of the Alps.

It's fine for a little bit and then an hour or 4 later it feels like you swallowed a burning hot nickel and you are glued to the toilet for about an hour and it hurts the whole time. Calcium Magnesium and Zinc are commonly combined together because they help absorption or some such thing I read awhile back, I'm not gonna cite it for the thread though. You can find a dozen or so calcium Magnesium and Zinc supplements at any US Pharmacy. Gumbel2Gumbel fucked around with this message at 14:48 on Feb 20, 2018 |

Fatkraken posted:what if all that mayo is making them super fat? Then the worried partner should have a supportive talk with their SO about their health concerns and the mayo eating partner should be able to listen to their partner's concerns and not assume they're being nasty or fatshaming. Honestly, so many people seem unable to just be nice and understanding to each other you wonder why they even got together to begin with. My ex would say mean things frequently, and for no reason, and I'm still mad at myself it took me as long as it did to recognise the emotional abuse going on and end it when she punched me in the jaw after nearly 9 whole months. Gesù.

OTOH, if she's never actually brought it up with him, he may think it's the kind of low level banter that doesn't bother her, while she takes it as nasty snark that does. If she's told him it really bothers her he's being a huge arsehole, if she just silently takes it then cries in private, he probably doesn't realise how much of an arsehole he's being and it's kinda on her to ask him to stop. If he continues to do it after being told it really upsets her he's definitely a huge arsehole like, 90% of /r/relationships would be solved by the partners actually talking to one another then breaking up if the lovely behaviour continues.
