You don't have to move out of the way of a cyclist, the bell is just a useful reminder that a cyclist is nearby and it's a good idea to be aware and not make any sudden changes in direction.

If you're on a biking/jogging trail, sure. Even there though, manners say you should verbally indicate that you are passing on the left, not ring a bell. The bell is like a car honking it's horn at a cyclist to 'let them know they're there'. It's not -- it's much more intimidating. It's really not. I've had them yell at me for not stepping into the street to get out of their way when I didn't move post bell-ringing, or for not paying attention that they were trying to pass me. They shouldn't be on the sidewalk, they don't have right of way, they can get hosed. Sidewalks in many places aren't wide enough for a bicycle to pass a pedestrian safely.

My [28F] boyfriend [26M] has a weird and kind of embarrassing hobbyquote:We've been together for 3 years and moved in together 8 months ago. We have a ton in common, we barely ever fight and we have all the same goals for the future. He's my best friend and I can't imagine a better relationship.

As a cyclist I hate this. Bells aren't horns, they're like active reverse-sonar, to help people facing away from you notice you're there and keep track of where you are. Which is very handy when passing pedestrians on shared paths because it is naturally frightening when something larger and faster than you quietly comes up right behind you.

My [30F] boyfriend [30M] reacted so poorly to me sending him a topless pic. He said to only send him normal pics. Don’t know how to feelquote:This happened months ago when we were still in the honeymoon phase and I was lusting and excited to see him one day. So I took a tasteful, topless picture of me to send to him later. I’d never been with someone before that I felt I could trust so I was looking forward to finally being able to sext with a serious partner who wasn’t just a fling. When we were driving together a few days after that, a song came on the radio that has lyrics about being turned on and so I said, “when I think about you I take a picture like this” which I sent to him right then. As soon as we parked the car and he opened his phone and saw my message, he was like “oh”, and quickly turned off his screen and looked completely uncomfortable. I felt like I had just committed a crime! My previous partners had all begged me for such pictures and even if they had a preference for shots showing my booty, they still were appreciative and communicated how attracted they were to me. I was absolutely not expecting that reaction from my serious boyfriend. At the time I told him he could at least say thanks or something, and he said he preferred clothed pictures and not sexy ones. Weird, I thought, considering he follows a bunch of sexy pages on social media and loves porn as much as the next dude.

Me (25F) in a confusing/painful situation with new boyfriend (40M) - Don't know if I should run or wait it out?quote:I'm in sort of a confusing situation and honestly am at a loss for what kind of action to take next. I also hope that writing out this story may help me gain some perspective. I am a young woman, funny, smart, decently attractive, etc - I've got a few things going for me, but I also am in a pretty terrible financial situation (i.e. I barely make enough to get by and afford gas/food in addition to my bills). I've always had a rough relationship with most of my family members, and so was eager to get out of my home town. I recently moved to a new state which has been mostly good, and I've enjoyed being out on my own and creating my new life. I'm also super independent and have been on my own for most of my life. This is a complete shitshow.

I feel like the way Trust Fund Baby's parent talks about them is loving weird. They act like their kid is a hypothetical person or a total stranger. I know you can't totally control how your kid will grow up, but it's deeply weird to be so laser focused on how this future them might not be someone you want to give money to.Straight White Shark posted:My [30F] boyfriend [30M] reacted so poorly to me sending him a topless pic.

A buddy's going through a real r/relationships breakup. It involves the girl joining a LARP group, giving him a book on polyamory around Christmastime while saying "it was from her friend", wanting to end things because she doesn't like some of his own friends and then, yup, sure enough, she was cheating on him.

That's fair, I was thinking as I typed that it does remain hosed up that so many cities shrug off dozens of fatal collisions a year because the person who died was on a bike. Ban cars, and until they're banned, never ever ride to the right of one in the rightmost lane, imo.

AITA for not allowing my sister to host her kid's birthday party at my house? My sister has 14 kids. It's as chaotic and nightmarish as you can imagine. Usually she never asks to come over to my place because it's a nightmare to travel with 14 kids to come visit their auntie who lives 5 hours away. If we're having a gathering it's always me who is travelling to their place. I don't really mind. We only meet a few times a year. A few years ago I bought my dream house with my husband. My sister asked to host my nephew's 3rd birthday party at my house. She wants to use the big backyard, grill and pool at my home. There are roughly 50 people who are invited. I said no and she called me selfish and an rear end in a top hat. Her kids have never been to my house and I prefer it that way. Her kids are not very well behaved except for the oldest three and my house is not child-poof. The pool seems like a huge liability. I don't want children drowning on my property. It just seems like a recipe for disaster. She brought up the fact that she hosted Christmas at her house for the past 10+ years at her house, but I don't think it's fair to compare this to that. We meet at her house instead of our parents because she has 14 kids to herd around so it's really more out of convenience to her. Every year for the past 10+ years I buy dessert enough to feed 25 people so I've done my part with the food arrangements. That's 8 apple pies or 3 cakes worth of dessert. My parents also stay over to help prepare and cook and we all contribute to the washing and cleaning. We haven't spoken in 2 months because of this. She firmly believes AITA. So, AITA for not allowing my sister to host my nephew's birthday party at my house?

I went to high school with the oldest three children from a family of twelve and they told me that the parents were basically just the household managers. Once the kids were old enough to start making breakfast and doing the laundry and changing diapers they would take over those jobs and it would become kind of self-sustaining.

My best friend from high school had to deal with that; she was the oldest of four and both parents were severe alcoholics, so she was pretty much the parent to the rest of them from the time she was nine; especially once her mother passed away. I was over at her house to work on a project once and the whole situation seemed miserable.

DAD LOST MY IPOD posted:Jesus Christ any family with 14 kids is going to be insufferable, not just because of the stampede of unruly children but because of whatever pathology makes the parents want 14 children in the first place A majority of those families are hyper religious nutjobs who gently caress like crazy and "leave it up to god" as to whether or not they get pregnant. Or "quiverful" cult members who are literally having kids just to turn them into religious voting machines. My mom got lucky. She was 1 of 13 and it was basically because her parents were too poor to afford contraception. They all turned out pretty ok for the most part. We still have regular family reunions and holiday gatherings and there isn't any drama. Pretty rare though.

Wow, and I thought my mom had it bad as #2 of 8. Grandma and grandpa were at least pretty sweet, if a bit oblivious. I found out years after the fact that after #8, grandma told her ob/gyn that she couldn't handle having any more kids so he took a look and oh gee it turned out she had suddenly come down with life-threatening *mumble mumble* and they just no alternative but to perform an emergency hysterectomy. The same thing happened to a lot of her contemporaries; apparently being a Catholic woman who had already had half a dozen kids was a major risk factor for life-threatening uterine conditions...
