NO gently caress YOU DAD posted:Why is everyone acting like what the girlfriend's parents were asking for was a normal everyday request? "Hurf durf but what if your partner's parents offered to cook you dinner, would you think they were trying to poison you?" No, because that's a totally normal thing and demanding you carry mystery luggage across an international border isn't. Only an insane person would consider a nice gift suitcase from their girlfriends parents to be “mystery luggage” that probably contains contraband.

also, what’s the recovery plan? do they try to un-gift the suitcase after he lands? is the endgame here that he wakes up one night to a soft ripping sound, turns on the light, and sees his gf crouching wide-eyed over the suitcase, kilos of “bad brown” clutched in each hand? lol

he should have taken the suitcase if he got to keep the extra content. my brothers wife buys a cheap extra suitcase when they are abroad and fills it with cheap stuff like clothing, makeup and spices that she knows her friends likes so she can sell it to them when she gets back, she makes good money on it, almost covers the airplane or hotel money. wouldnt surprise me if that was the plan for the suitcase parents dont do drugs, do denim and cheap sunglasses.

Re: the Chess kid, he's currently 2050 FIDE at 10 years old, so I was curious and compared him to Magnus Carlsen, one of the greatest and current world champion, here are his ratings by age, at his birthday.quote:
I agree with everyone else that parents are crazy, but at least they're not crazy about his potential. Either way, the kid's got just a few years to get insanely good, but he's on track.

In addition to being good at chess it'd be nice if he could read and write and do basic math, if the parents are confident that he's getting a good education in general then they should prove that in court but I get a strong sense that he isn't

As others have already alluded to, there’s no way he reaches his potential without being educated in other areas like reading and math.

Just saw my girlfriends sex tape with her ex today...SHOULD I BREAK UP WITH HER? Sigh, what a way to start off my first post in reddit.Just to warn you guys, this isn't JUST about the sex tape I just discovered 45 minutes ago. I met my girlfriend when she had recently broken up with her ex and I was her crying shoulder. This happened for a few weeks and then we ended up loving. Don't get me wrong, I had already started liking this girl and felt like she had some feelings for me too. This happened all too quickly right after her breakup, so I felt like I was taking advantage of her vulnerable state. I reassured her that I was not going to hurt her feelings or even lie to her, I told her I would love her the best I could. She also reassured me that I wasn't just some rebound. She would still miss her ex boyfriend here and there and would talk about him occasionally. This would always piss me off and put me in a bad mood; I told her not to talk about her ex TO me and that I wasn't interested hearing about him. Hearing her talk about her ex hurt my feelings and my ego because I knew how much she loved him and how serious that relationship was for her. She had completely planned a future with him, marrying him, etc etc. I had to deal with this continuously for about 4 months until she finally decided to break ties with him completely. She told me that he had her nudes and videos and I told her it's okay, because that's normal in a relationship. She was glad I was understanding and rang him to ask him to delete those pictures/videos of her. Although I told her, he's just gonna tell you he will but in the end, he won't ACTUALLY delete it. They spoke on the phone and he agreed to delete those pictures and videos of her (doubt that he did). Fast forward a year and a half later, she asked me to transfer her photos and videos from her old phone to her laptop, then transfer those files into her new laptop. She asked me to do it because she was going to be out of town for a few days, hence didn't have the time to do it. I agreed. However, her new laptop had not arrived yet, so I had to transfer all her files to my computer first. It was a long process because she had over 24,000 photos and I had to wait quite a while. As i was waiting, I went on Google chrome and her Facebook was logged in. I have to be honest here, I am a really insecure guy who gets jealous really easily. I did not know this until I got into a relationship with her (probably because I really loved her). I know it was really terrible of me to snoop through her messages but I did it anyway. I read through her messages with her ex boyfriend, and I found out she was still trying to get back with him until that day she asked him to delete her nudes. I also read her messages with her "guy best friend", who she claims to be "nothing more than a friend". From the things I read, I could definitely tell you that the guy did not see her as a "friend". He told her that he loved her and he missed her. She also said love you and I miss you back (bear in mind, she's not the type of person to say those things lightly to just anyone). They were sending each other love hearts and kissing emojis. Two months before I read these messages, she went out of town, and coincidentally, it was the city he lived in, so I KNOW they met up. She also lied to me about NOT meeting up with him cause I could see from the messages and the photos they had met up. Reading those messages completely broke my heart and it destroyed me mentally, and I was planning to break up with her when she came back. I confronted her about the messages and the first thing she said was "How could you sneak behind my back and read everything? How low can you get? If you had loved me and respected me, you would have never read my personal conversations behind my back." Obviously that was wrong of me but that wasn't the main point there! I had showered her with all my love and 100% of my effort and I just got all of that thrown back to my face. Anyway, she denied everything and still insists that he is just a friend. I told her it would be best if we break up and go our separate ways but she cried to me and I just couldn't bring myself to break her heart like that. So we kind of patched things up after two weeks, I pretended everything was okay and I should NOT have. It sucks because I know i will never get over it. I don't know if she cheated on me when she went out of town? I don't know if there are more messages with other guys that I'm unaware of? It sucks that my 100% was never enough for her. Every time we argue, I would always bring up that same issue (the guy friend) and I would just blow up from that. It just infuriates me every single time I think about it. She strayed away from me and started looking elsewhere, I would have preferred if she had broken up with me first, you know? Anyway, it's been a few months after all that and recently she told me that she felt disconnected. She felt that I was distant and didn't feel like we were in a relationship. She's noticed that I'm not the same person as before. The way I treat her now is completely different to before and to be entirely honest, I just don't think I love her anymore. I'm a shell of the man I used to be. It just sucks because for the past month, I can see that she has been giving it her all in this relationship. She's never treated me this well yet I am not happy. She constantly texts me yet I just can't be bothered to even open them. Why try NOW? Why not try when I have been trying for the last two years? I spoke to her about this and she told me that she couldn't love me easily because of the things she went through with her ex. That's why it took her so long to trust me and FINALLY love me with all her heart. But meh, I don't buy it. Those words meant nothing to me.So today, I was just cleaning up the files on my computer and I have her old files from the time she asked me to move her files. Again, I was curious to see what was there and I saw our pictures. I was just looking through our old pictures and I accidentally came across this old video. This old video was a loving sex tape of her and her loving ex. I honestly regret clicking on the folder so much and not remaining in blissful ignorance. I honestly don't know what to do anymore, this situation is so hosed up. Sorry for the long post. Should I confront her or should I just break it off completely? TLDR: Have trust issues with gf and now found old sextape with her ex. Thinking of completely breaking up with her? Help? EDIT: Just to let you guys know, I snooped through her messages once (I know this doesn't make it okay). She always goes through my phone when I'm asleep. She's literally blocked all my female friends. She's never trusted me once throughout our relationship.

It's weird that chess kid's parents can't be like, "hey study chess 15 hours a day, then maybe spend an hour a day figuring out basic multiplication." It implies a lack of basic critical thinking, which they are now forcing their kid to fail to develop.

I don't understand how so many people are so comfortable taking nudes these days and sending them to people they barely know or putting them on a "secure" cloud, but then getting so upset when that media invariably is spread around. People shouldn't spread that poo poo, but people are horrible so it always seems to happen. It's like the taking and exchanging of nudes and sex vids has become normalized, but the reality of the total lack of privacy of our digital media hasn't sunk in at all, and this mis-match creates a ton of easily avoidable drama.

Now that that's over with, I'm thinking of going to the nearest hospital and taping pro-intact posters on the walls/bulletin boards of the maternity ward. Is this within my rights, or can I potentially get in legal trouble for something like trespassing or 'disturbing the peace'?
