empty sea posted:loving exactly. If you wanna gross him out/make him puke put some drat vinegar in there. Don't waste the vodka. Although I hate puke so I'd never do a "prank" likely to make anyone puke because that poo poo's nasty. I don't know dude I"ve met a lot of doctors who were incompetent and some who were downright morons. It's not as impossible as people make it out to be, as long as this girl is okay with being a mediocre doctor she should keep at it. Being willing to work hard is a massive part of that equation too, and she's already go that. I think her stuck-up mom/dad (don't care enough to check which) doesn't want a GP in the family she wants like, a spinal surgeon who only works on celebrities and went to the best school. It's okay to not be that kind of doctor Power Khan posted:At best, it's going to be terrible, terrible hard work against all odds to keep it all together (and their relationship), and it seems he doesn't want to chain himself to somebody who is going to blindly drown herself. There's a difference between doing the right and noble thing and sinking yourself.

AITA for dropping the "We're Not Having Kids, Now Stop Bringing It Up" bomb on my MIL?quote:My husband and I don't want kids. My MIL is big into family in the traditional sense. She has been pushy with us about having kids since we got married. Literally the week after we got engaged, she started asking.

Now that we're separating, I [27F] feel like I should warn my in-laws that my husband [28M] invades their privacy? If yes, how should I phrase it to not cause issues? quote:My husband's family is tight and they spend a LOT of time together.

Baronjutter posted:Mental illness is a hell of a thing. My friend's ex was always an rear end in a top hat and always presumed to have some sort of mild mental illness that contributed to him being such a controlling weirdo. But he's now suddenly decided the government has done something to him that has changed and moved the organs in his body and fluoride is involved. Apparently the belief that your organs are in the wrong spot or have been tampered with is like a textbook symptom of something fairly specific. Richard Chase, the vampire of Sacramento suffered from that particular delusion. It was one of the things that lead him to kill people and consume their blood and organs. What I'm trying to say is you should start locking your windows at night JaneError posted:AITA for dropping the "We're Not Having Kids, Now Stop Bringing It Up" bomb on my MIL? Lastname is an AWFUL family name anyways. What kind of horrible self-referential meme humor leaves people with a name like that?

JaneError posted:AITA for dropping the "We're Not Having Kids, Now Stop Bringing It Up" bomb on my MIL? Oof.this reminds me of what happened with my cousin. She had a mom similar to this one except she genuinely did want to have kids, it's just my aunt was terrible and pushy. My cousin had a tumor the size of a football removed, along with an ovary, and while she is recovering and trying to accept the reality that she may never have kids biologically her mom tells her she bought her a crib and is asking the oncologist when she can start trying to have babies again. Cousin does 3 rounds of IVF to the tune of 30 grand and still doesn't get pregnant, loses the other ovary and later fost-adopts. Cousin likes kids but she's actually terrible with them, and the whole time her mom has been egging her on and pressuring her to have kids. So even people that want to have kids (but maybe are in a better mental and financial state ten years from now) can have parents that push them about it.

Yeah, launching into a huge crying fit about how you've tried for so long and how hard it's been to keep a brave face would be the power move for most MILs, but this one seems monomaniacal enough that she'd blast past "pressure you about IVF" and go straight to "kidnap children from an eastern European orphanage and present them to you with birth certificates pre-filled out with her preferred grandbaby names"

AITA for not doing anything on my boyfriend's birthday?quote:My birthday was last November I'd call it an alright one. I spent time with my family, my friends took me out, I had a lovely time except for one thing: my boyfriend did nothing for me. I got a happy birthday text but other than that no presents or plans of any kind. This did bother me so I brought it up with him and he told me birthdays aren't his thing, he doesn't even celibrate his own. I was disappointed but accepted that that's just the kind of guy he is, it's not like I had a bad birthday anyway. I made a metal note that he doesn't do birthdays left it at that. I feel the need to point out that this is a newish relationship, we've been together since last summer so we're still learning little things like that about eachother. Commenter posted:NTA - I'm surprised you even need to ask. This is hilarious. OP posted:Haha he's actually the one who wanted to post this, he was so sure he was right and I was wrong. I'm gonna bask in the I told you so's so hard.

Lucid Nonsense posted:Sounds to me like they're just growing apart. If neither has an interest in rekindling things, it's either dead or they grow old and resentful together. "Just growing apart" is what happens when you are lazy and complacent about your marriage and your partner. On the course of a lifetime together people are going to grow and change. You can either do it together and intentionally or do it separately and potentially find yourself lying next to someone you don't recognize anymore in 20 years.

christmas boots posted:Even in the legal states you're still not supposed to take it across state lines. Like legally I'm not allowed to take weed from Washington to Oregon or vice versa despite it being legal in both states. that's a CYA so people don't just shipping weed to idaho or some poo poo (which chuds would sue over to bring the feds in to shut it all down) i mean unless you got busted with the other state's receipt wrapped around it or you got some state-exclusive strand, they wouldn't be able to prove it anyways

Is it normal and healthy for a person to become so engrossed in a hobby that personal relationships lose their luster? Sounds kind of crazy to me.

I thought the parents were normal until the anti vax stuff. At that point, you just tell them either they show a recording for vaccination or they don't see the kid.

SirSamVimes posted:Taking this story at face value, I fail to see how she's a (wo)manbaby? She gives her girlfriend attention when they're both at home, and when she's at home alone she enjoys her harmless hobbies? Consuming media is not a hobby. And this stinks of unreliable narrator (but doesn't it require it to still be a problem). Yawgmoth posted:It's currently very trendy on SA to hate people who like anime at all and poo poo on them in all aspects of life for daring to enjoy anything. I'm not commenting on "liking anime". Consuming media is not a hobby. It's sitting on your rear end. Furthermore I will judge you for your media choices, but that isn't the point I'm making here. Consuming various media types as your sole "hobby" is not a hot take. It's objectively sad and unhealthy.

I don’t see the problem with referring to women as manchildren; calling a man a manchild already degenders him so there’s nothing stopping a woman from being one too

They don't -have- to prove it, they can bankrupt you with trying to defend yourself in an out of state court and spending the rest of your life getting the old 'lift and separate' at every TSA checkpoint.

Consuming various media types as your sole "hobby" is not a hot take. It's objectively sad and unhealthy. I ask because although it's fair that passively consuming media isn't really a hobby, it never seems to be applied to people who read as their 'hobby'. If I read a book for three hours that's sitting on my rear end as much as if I was staring at a monitor for that long. Sure, one is generally more intellectually stimulating than the other, but they're both sitting on your rear end consuming media. (For what it's worth I don't give a poo poo if someone decides their hobby is watching anime, reading Mark Twain, collecting stamps, journaling about the changes in their lawn over time, or building a shed from scratch every week as long as they're managing their time well and getting their responsibilities taken care of. I might think their choice of hobby is weird/dumb but I generally can't find it in me to give that much of a poo poo.)

Haifisch posted:Serious question: Do you also apply this to reading? Consuming media is a pastime, books included. If you read books and then use the material to create something (fan fiction, reviews, discussion, a collection), the thing you're creating is your hobby. Haifisch posted:Also this. Oh no, a 26 year old enjoys typical 20something things. This clearly means nothing she says is reliable, because . People who overindulge in things usually go to great lengths to minimise the amount of time and energy they put into that thing, it wouldn't be a big stretch to assume she watches more anime/plays more games than she lets on.
