Second-worst dom after Christian Grey Can I be held responsible for self-injury or suicide as a result of a consensual sex act? quote:Hi everyone. I'll keep this brief. Woah, goddamn, what happened here? Crosspost in r/sex and r/rela: quote:Hi everyone, I (27F) have a bit of a dilemma on my hands.

that's a fine and good position to take but there's recurring threads in this forum that are basically the ol' "I wish there was a nuclear apocalypse but I was the protagonist" trying to dress up as a political philosophy and yelling about murdering some real estate doofus for spending outside of his means instead of investing that money like a moral bourgeois fits neatly into that rubric

I mean, to me it depends whether the real-estate doofus in question is always complaining about how the food you can buy with EBT cards is too fancy and poor people should sell their refrigerators and live entirely on saltines But on the flip side, people are also always complaining about how people to their left are hypocrites for owning anything at all rather than living as ascetic monks. SEE: any mention of the lake cabin Bernie Sanders bought with his wife's inheritance money

Friend (26F) is getting married. I (26 F)won‘t get to sit next to my bf (28M) who doesnt know anyone there. Can i say sth?quote:I am the maid of honor at my friend‘s wedding. She just told us that the bridesmaids and groomsmen will be sitting together with the bride and groom. My boyfriend of 5 years is not a groomsman and she placed him at a different table. This is a destination wedding and my boyfriend doesn‘t know anybody there. I don‘t want him to have to sit with strangers, I want to sit next to him. Can I say something to the bride or is this normal? Most normal adults can strike up casual conversation with people at the table, but if it’s a problem, just have him pack his DS

Yeah she does know he's not obligated to, like, stay at his table all night, right, he can bring a chair over and sit with her for the portions of the evening that don't involve actually eating food and they are in fact allowed to dance with each other and whatnot That said though this is a bad seating strategy, but it's not her place to ask them to change it

For me, the problem is not with the specific price tag or if someone really "deserves" this fast car, it's the fact that a car even can be a status symbol, and by extension, that things like status symbols exist in the first place. It strikes a nerve with me especially with cars because I'm German, and we loving LOVE our cars. There's a lot of societal pressure to always have the newest and fanciest Audi or BMW, and it seems like a lot of people feel compelled to spend a significant percentage of their income to keep up with this. It disgusts me that something as utilitarian as a "gets your from point A to B" machine has evolved into this almost cult-like object.

Having to sit next to unfamiliar people isn't a huge deal but it's also the reason that seating arrangements are stupid. People naturally sit next to people they want to be next to, not arbitrarily in some arrangement. For a destination wedding I'm assuming there's not a ton of guests which makes it silly the wedding party can't sit next to their +1s. For my rehearsal dinner, we actually had a lot of people present (40+) and my mom had set up a seating chart for it that ensured my dad, stepmom, and in laws were really far from us. Wasn't fair to my fiance or my dad, and the simplest thing was to just tell her everybody is on their own. Of course it turned out fine and nobody felt pissy about where they sat.

Maybe it's different in Germany but I have owned multiple sub-$2k cars with air conditioning and radios, comfort features relevant to commuting aren't a meaningful price factor and the six-figure car is completely unrelated to a vehicle you'd want to take to work anyway. The horseless buggy started as a rich people affectation that became a cornerstone of society because so many people pursued one as an aspirational symbol of success, necessity didn't drive its invention or popularization. Whether or not your ideal society would eliminate the car specifically or lower the reasonably achievable price point for a luxury item I don't think you're going to get rid of "symbols of success" or people striving for some conspicuously useless signifier that they're the starbellied sneetch until you've completely eliminated success as a concept.

If anything all cars should cost 300k, it would mean less cars. It's called conversationism. Everyone would have to use public transport and that would lead to more conversations and friendliness. It's good for the planet.

CharlestheHammer posted:Not really. Maybe I wasn't being clear enough... "No one needs a $300k car and I could never imagine spending that kind of money on a car, it's dumb" Is different than "No one should ever buy a $300k car, it shouldn't be allowed and anyone that does is a terrible person" The first one is fine, because you're saying that you don't understand why anyone would need it, but you're not going so far as to say it shouldn't exist or people should be punished for it. In another example: I think having more than say, 4 kids is obscene. I don't understand why you'd want that many and could never imagine myself having that many but I acknowledge that isn't true for everyone and if someone wants to have more than 4 kids, that's their choice. Simply Simon posted:A car is a very complicated thing to talk about in this context because contrary to gold statues of me with vastly exaggerated dick size, people actually need cars for something. Obviously nobody needs a 300k sportscar, but it's very tough to draw a line in the sand after which a car costs "too much". Is air conditioning a luxury or mandatory depending on where you live? How about a nice radio to keep you sane during your daily hell commute? Getting bogged down in these details is senseless and I think there's better things to argue about. For people that love cars, they aren't just a machine that gets you from point A to point B though. You could make the same argument you're making about cars about clothes, houses, phones, food or pretty much any basic item of society. I am admittedly a car person, so I'm a bit biased, but cars basically operate like any hobby/interest. I find them fascinating and fun, love knowing all of the engineering and work that goes into them and love driving them. A $300k sports car is by no means a necessary thing, but it is an incredible example of what cars are capable of being and thus something I'd love to be able to experience. I'd also have to make at least 15-20x more than I make now to ever consider a car that expensive. As much as I love cars I would never spend more than what I think is an appropriate % of my income on a car.

Lonely Virgil posted:She told him to kill himself. Personally I'm liking the 'oh maybe we should try this, this might make him feel better' to 'lol kill yourself loser' in one step. Really tested the waters there to see how it would go. Oh and no one can do that to someone they care about without being seriously into it. She's trying to play down how much she was into it etc but you don't stop having sex to tell your partner to kill themselves lightly.

I (21f) found a friends (21f) boyfriend (36m) on tinder, and don't know if I should tell herquote:My Friend Grace* has been dating this older guy Mike* for over a year. They've always had a strange relationship and have fought lots and been on the verge of breaking up countless times. Somebody suggested the friend should see a counselor for ignoring friends concerns and ‘dating’ a guy 15 years older: quote:She is a firm believer that psychologists are useless, but thanks for your advice! You've pretty much nailed the situation
