Greetings from page 3880, you guys post so goddamn fast I’ll never catch up Can someone post the story of the guy who found out his gf cheated on him and then she said he could sleep with someone NSA and then they’d be even and he waited like three years to do it and then hosed up his relationship really hard because of it, that’s a good story and I’d love to see it in mid July when I get there

I'm really loving all the bridezilla stories. Yes you are the rear end in a top hat.

If you are wondering if you're the rear end in a top hat, the fact that you haven't met your "best friend"'s husband who she has been with for 3+ years might be a clue.

Either give everyone a +1 or no one how the gently caress do you break your brain to the point that you're going "these people can bring a guest but not these people"?

"But it's MY DAY" totally not a day to celebrate family and friends. God these people suck. I went to a wedding with a pit-roast pig and it was way better than all the stuffy proper weddings I've been to. These people just don't know how to throw a party.

r/Parenting gives us a part-time dad who won't let the fact that his kid is crushing it get in the way of imposing arbitrary horseshit. What are appropriate screen time limits for a 16 year old? quote:I have posted before about my kids. I have 3 teenagers. Two who live with me full time and one who lives with his mom full time but stays over every other weekend.

I guess I’d say that you can have broad classes who get/don’t get a +1, like: family and close friends get it versus college friends who might not. But you can’t pick and choose within those classes, and if a bridesmaid/groomsman doesn’t rate high enough to be in the “+1” class then it’s to have them be part of the party then? It’s me, im the guy Knot-posting in Gibbis. E: Is The Knot even “a thing” (as the kids say these days) anymore? Back when BORAT VOICE MY WIFE and I were engaged it was quite the place?

If you think you are prettier than the bride you should have to mutilate your face before the wedding to not upstage her. Then again knowing this woman she'd just get everyone paying attention to her cool scars and it wouldn't be about MEEEEE.

Ignite Memories posted:reddit dad is just jealous his child is going to have a lucrative career in computer touching Reddit dad thinks his A-student kid who got a 1460 on his first try is a failure because he doesn't have enough friends. The funny part is, the kid could very well have a ton of friends, he's just not hanging out with them every other weekend because he's at his dad's house, which is not home.

I won’t be changing my stance, but I guess I need help on how to convey that without attacking how my husband feels. Plz and thank you in advance. Keeping original format because I’m lazy. If it’s an issue please let me know!

As someone who tested pretty well and really hosed up my life by being a huge shut-in video game nerd from the beginning of middle school onward I actually support the father in setting screen time limits. But he has to work it out with the kid so they think it's fair otherwise they're just going to find ways to work around it. Edit: also did the ACT max score change because IIRC it's 35 and it seems weird to get 34/35 on the ACT but 1400-something out of 2400 on the SAT.

I don't think every-other-weekend dad is the guy to impose new limits out of nowhere just as the receipts are coming in for the kid doing well at school.

I did manage to skim over the fact that the father was out of the picture most of the time. Assuming for the sake of the argument the kid is acting the same at both homes I'd still say the same thing though.

Mom should probably push harder on the driving thing. I'm having a pretty easy time imagining this kid just trying to tablet and phone these lovely weekends away, though.

Anyway, the kid might just be spending most of his time on his phone/computer when he's at dad's because he's further away from his friends or whatever he usually does. I guess it depends how far away the mom and dad live and whether he's like that all the time or just every other weekend.

AITA for refusing to hire a vegan chef when most of our dishes are meat based?] So I have been working in my parent's bar and grill/cafe for as long as I can remember. There is an emphasis on steak, hamburgers, tacos, fish, etc, along with a lot of other meaty bar foods and sandwiches. We have practically zero vegan/ vegetarian dishes. We have exactly one now that I think about it, a simple veggie platter. My parents have been running this place for 10 years now, and we have earned a good reputation in the neighborhood as a local hotspot. I have been attending college nearby recently so my hours have naturally dropped, but I am still a high ranking manager within in this grill/cafe. I will often handle the hiring process these days, as my mother is the head chef and my father is in ill health and trusts my judgement. I am a fair judge of character and have hired a lot of our best employees. We have been searching for a new chef to take my mother's spot very soon, as she is getting ready to retire. A friend of mine recommended another friend of hers for the position, a recent culinary grad. I agreed to give her a fair chance and had her pass on a message to the friend in question to come in for an interview. Fast forward to the day of the interview. She comes in with a good looking resume, but she has no actual job experience in the culinary field as of yet, only college. This isn't a dealbreaker for me, everyone has to start somewhere. As I start asking about her favorite dishes, she first makes it very clear that she is a strict vegan and begins to outline her favorite vegan dishes. I am bit concerned at this point. I ask her if she is aware that we are a grill house/cafe with a heavy emphasis on meat. I ask her how she is going to taste the dishes if she can not/will not eat meat. She assures she me that she will just have someone else do it, but this does not work for me. We get very busy and everyone has their own express job inside of the kitchen. The head chef is responsible for all final tasting and quality control. It is an important duty. A chef who refuses to taste their own food might as well be cooking with a hand tied behind their back, as my mother put it later. I end the meeting after a bit, talk to my parents about it, and end up calling her later and telling her that after our consideration we feel she would be better suited in a kitchen that suited her own tastes. She had a complete meltdown and hung up on me. My other friend then texted me up a storm, calling me an rear end in a top hat, saying I should have given her a chance, she is having a hard time finding work as a vegan chef in this area, etc. After thinking about it for a bit I do feel bad, but I remain firm that she would not have been a comfortable fit in such a meat heavy environment. AITA?

I had to try 3 times for a score that was lower than that kid's woke-up-this-morning 1460. The kid apparently wants to do online school senior year and I don't blame him - excellent grades and test scores at "real school" apparently buy him zero goodwill with his dad.

Well, a job application is supposed to be strictly professional. And this woman's lifestyle choice specifically barred her from the job she otherwise would have gotten. You just can't work with food and refuse to taste the majority of what you're producing, and she should at least be made aware of that fact.
