M.C. McMic posted:I failed my first driving exam. One time when I was taking driving lessons with my learner's permit I actually did drive right out into oncoming traffic, and the instructor had to use their brakes (there were also brakes on their side of the car). I was at a left-turn where there's a left arrow lit up both when you're supposed to turn and when you're not, and I remember sitting there looking at the red arrow and being like "should I go because it's lit up...or should I not go because it's red?" and then suddenly deciding "let's go!" I think the fear of looking like a doofus sitting there when I was supposed to be driving somehow outweighed the fear of getting killed by running into oncoming traffic.

Dienes posted:Go back in time and wait another year to have kids, idiots. Doesn't usually work that way, if they had a kid it was either an accident or the best window of time they had for a while. My sister's program had a ton of people having kids at the same time during research because it was the lowest intensity they were going to have for years to come and some of them were going to be on the wrong side of 37 by the time things were stable again.

Hey everyone, what's the most important relationship in your life? That's right, your relationship with the SA Forums. Apparently lowtax is beyond broke, so go donate if you want to be able to keep reading the best curated thread of horrific relationship posts on these, the best forums on the internet. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3884184&pagenumber=1&perpage=40#post493257410 Lowtax posted:Oh Jesus I'm so loving broke that I literally have a negative balance on my checking account... thank you, outrageous medical bills and bastard pharmaceutical companies. I'm like $60,000 in debt because of all the poo poo I've been through the last two years. Had two vertebrae in my neck just completely break apart, causing the entire nervous system on the left side of my body to eventually seize up into so much pain that I collapsed because I couldn't control the entire left side of my body (after four months of me three different telling doctors I'm suffering from nerve pain, and them insisting it was actually muscle pain, and would give me muscle relaxers that didn't do jack poo poo) and had to get taken to the ER. They got my insurance and after six hours of waiting, they brought me in and did a bunch of tests and next day said "yeah, it's nerve pain, C5 and C7 in your neck collapsed, and pieces of your broken discs are actually being pushed out of your spine, and if you don't get immediate surgery to fix it, you'll probably suffer a stroke and die." So that was cool. Then I find a neurologist and I give him the CD they give you of all your test results, and he asked, "why did they do all these tests on you? Most of these were completely unnecessary," and I said I have no loving idea. He removed the discs, put metal or plastic or some poo poo into my neck, and fused them together. They gave me fentanyl and I was like "dear christ, life is good, I'm not injured at all, I want to dance." Then it turns out that I actually have to be basically in bed for a loving year or some such poo poo, which is pretty much where I've been the last loving year or some poo poo. Donating directly to the forums through the SA store gets you a popsicle stick under your name like my "ultra carp", also there's a patreon for monthly donations and stuff. Thank you!

I wonder what patreons cut is, he’s up to 10k per month! Not that it tackles crippling medical debt but I think it went up several thousand since that thread was posted.

It was originally at like $1700 and had been for some time before he started letting everyone know how broke he was. I believe one of the donations is just a one time $2500, so he'll be down some from that. Probably quite a nice thing to wake up to.

One-time big donations are good, specially for medical expenses, but I hope people keep the patreon going because reliable monthly income is what saves people and organizations from ruin.

AITA for knocking up a witch and then leaving her?quote:This was a pretty long night so I’m going to try and keep it short. It was 10:00 P.M on a Saturday, I was scrolling through tinder trying to find matches because I recently broke up with my ex and I’ve never had a one night stand with anyone else. I met this girl, we’ll just call her D; As we talk over the phone outside, the wind starts picking up with gigantic gusts that I feel like could lift me up, this all was happening when she was explaining to me she was a witch. Good decisions 101 here

On one hand boyfriend is a pointlessly unsympathetic rear end, on the other hand if you get "inconsolable" at the death of pets then rats are not for you because they have short as gently caress lifespans. If you keep a stock of 8 rats there's a good chance you'll be inconsolably mourning a pet every few months.

It's not like they moved in together and then she's like "surprise, it's like the nutcracker ballet all up in this bitch." You can't tell someone their pets are a waste of money/not a sound financial decision. They are pets.

I mean, if the boyfriend had chosen an alternative strategy, such as attempting to console her, instead of "you're a psychotic bitch for caring about stuff I don't care about," we might have found out for sure.

Khazar-khum posted:I thought SCOTUS shot down grandparents' right a few years ago. I thought so to so I googled it and apparently their ruling was extremly wishy washy and it basically just said that washingtons was to broad and it interfered with the parents constitutional rights. So you cant have a blanket grandparents have the right to grandchildren visitation but you can have a if the parent is deemed unfit the grandparents can sue for custody. You know the person who probably hosed up the parent making them unfit is probably the grandparent.

Yeah, I think friends that are spamming social media for the gofundme to afford expensive medicine for their ancient tumorous rat or low-chance-of-success operation to give their sickly constantly-vomiting elderly cat another few months are absolutely wasting their money and have lost all perspective. But not being a heartless and tactless jerk I'm not going to tell them that or bully them over it. And even if your financial cut-off point for pets is lower than someone else's that doesn't mean you can't provide some basic sympathy for what they're feeling. Being absolutely stone-hearted towards pets or animals in general is a pretty reliable red flag indicating a terrible person anyways, dump em. Also this same guy who will flip out over "wasteful spending" on a low 3-figure rat vet bill is probably someone who will defend his own similar amount of logical spending on limited edition marvel vinyl statuettes or his dumbass car stereo system or video game microtransactions.

These are sooo addictive AITA for not telling my boyfriend that I’m married quote:A few years back I met a wonderful guy (we’ll call him Henry) who had come to my city from another country to do an internship. We fell in love pretty quickly and had an awesome relationship. The guy he was interning for said he he did so well that he would try and sponsor him. Months pass and his boss kept putting it off. Eventually, he says he can’t sponsor him bc it’s too expensive. At this point we were living together and he was making more money than I was at the time bc I was in college. Anyway, we figure out the only way for him to stay at this point is for us to get married. So we do. Two years later I break up with him (we’re still good friends) because of his immaturity at times and other non serious things. When we got married I promised his family (who I grew very close to when they would visit) that even if we broke up I wouldn’t gently caress him over by divorcing him until he got his papers. I kept my word.

There is a prescient quote by I want to say a sci-fi author like: in the future, everyone will have a computer, even 3-year-olds, and everyone will know everything about everyone else, and nobody will leave the house because they don't want to get to know anyone anymore. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? It's impossible to search because Google thinks I either mean Andy Warhol or Bill Gates no matter what words I exclude.

As a result it got me to thinking, and I would like to have experiment with the same sex as well. However, we are very unsure of how to find people to experiment with. How do people find patient, understanding lovers to learn the ropes with when they’re the same sex? We’re at a loss as to how to proceed into the territory OF HOMOSEXUALITY (EDIT BECAUSE SOME OF YOU CAN’T STOP MISQUOTING ME).

Yeah, rats are really cute and easily trainable, but the average lifespan is two years, maybe 3 if you're really, really lucky. And odds are it won't be a quick death but a long, lingering affair riddled with tumors. I don't think I could take getting attached and saying goodbye so soon and so often. But she clearly loves and takes good care of her rats, so if he has a problem she should and get a new boyfriend.
