Yes you are an rear end in a top hat for calling her a slut.

She is weird as gently caress though for continuously bringing up all of her bast sexual situations. Everyone has a past but to keep brining it up especially when it comes to sex stuff is weird.

If only there was some sort of word one could use to describe a person who has so much casual sex that they are unable to not constantly make inappropriate reference to it, as if having sex with strangers was such a constant defining element of their life that all their personal anecdotes concern them hooking up with someone.

AITA for interrupting my roommates while they have sex by blasting the Soviet national anthem?

I have 5 roommates and one of them brings his girlfriend over at least twice a week and they gently caress regardless of whether or not we are home. He does this constantly even during late hours like 3 am on school nights. I normally wouldnt care but his girlfriend moans so loudly. I first talked to him privately about it and he was like "yeah whatever idc, if you can ever find a girl to gently caress you can do it here" and i explained to him that my girlfriend and I don't take sex so casually and we rarely ever do it and when we do its usually in a really romantic setting and he proceeds to call me a fag. He does it again and i asked him nicely to stop and he tells me to stfu. Next night i hear his girlfriend moaning which wake me up at 2 am and i have a test the next morning at 9 am. I tell them to quiet down and they ignore me. i bang on the door and they continue loving. I eventually fall asleep. I decided i needed to find a way to really annoy them back. I get my geek squad friends to let me borrow their really really loud speakers, like small concert speakers. I hook up my phone to it and i blast the soviet union national anthem as soon as i hear them loving. I hear the girlfriend go "yo wtf is that" and eventually i couldn't even hear them moaning. He puts on his underwear and so does his gf, boner visible, and they approach us asking us wtf is going on.

All of my other roommates had my back on this and we just stood there and said we'd blast this music every time they were going to have sex cuz we're sick of this poo poo. They eventually left and the girlfinred was pissed and i think my roommate had blue balls and was pissed too. A few days later they start fuckign and we did the same thing. He's smaller then me so he can't physically threaten me and i have all my other roommates willing to support me as well. His girlfienrd gets pissed and leaves again. His girlfriend comes over and this time i decide to let them start fuckign for a while and i'd blast the anthem as soon as it starts to get good. The girlfriend yells "gently caress you you scumbag chink I'm leaving you and your pathetic virgin roommates" This strained the relationship he had with his girlfriend and he has since never brought her back.

AITA for dropping off my cheating boyfriend at the other end of the country and leaving him to figure out his way back alone?

My boyfriend and I were together for nearly 6 years. 2 months ago a woman contacted me and confessed that she had sex with my boyfriend multiple times or over a year and felt guilty about it so she confessed. I talked to her and 100% confirmed it. Obviously I was devastated, I felt stupid for not noticing anything for years and honestly revenge was the only thing that fueled me. So over the last month I've hitched a plan: I would propose we take a coast to coast road-trip from California to Maryland and when we get to MD I would take my car, tell him we're over, and ditch him there to figure his way back to Cali.

​I put on a poker face throughout the month and pretended not to know what he's up to. So the day comes, we embark on the road-trip. We're cracking jokes, laughing, but it took all I had not to kick him out in Middle America, after all Maryland was farther away. Finally we reach Maryland and after spending some time eating I tell him to get out of the car. He thinks I'm joking but once I throw out his bags and other stuff he complies. I tell him I know all about what he's been doing and as soon as I say that he tries sprinting to the door but I lock it. I shout "go gently caress yourself" and hit the gas, leaving him on the road.

​It took some time to get back to California but once I do I feel a giant weight off my shoulders. I left him on the road with his phone and about 200$ in cash. He has family in Annapolis so it's not like I left him to die. However yesterday word comes out that he lost his job because he failed to go to work and he's been calling me nonstop cursing me out. gently caress him. All my friends are torn on this. Some are saying he got what he deserved and some are saying that I took it too far. I have me solace knowing he got fired and hosed himself over. He's still with his family in Annapolis and best thing though? I've consulted with a lawyer and he can't do anything about it. I do want a third party's opinion on this though.

It's psychotic poo poo. We don't even have to speculate about how different it would be received with genders swapped, since not long ago we had a story where a guy ditched his bad date at a local park and people were saying he was vindictive and it was dangerous. This ramps up the scale on all fronts. Only a few pages ago I was saying how it sucks that cheaters face no consequences, but I don't think crazed revenge is the answer either. Indulge that punitive impulse if you like, but recognize it as the same pathetic emotional drive behind honour killing the unfaithful.

Most people thought that the park thing was fine; I think that the people calling her a psychopath and the people saying that leaving someone at the park in the middle of the day is dangerous are the same people. If you have a charged cell phone, money, and presumably a credit card, then you should be able to find your way home without too much trouble. He'd spend a lot more on a plane ticket than the other person would on cab fare, but neither scenario is really that big of a deal.

What OP did was a lot of effort, but you can't accurately describe it as "crazed", not without completely redefining what that word means. She was pissed but kept her composure, literally the opposite of "crazed", and ultimately earned a victory that is both symbolic and cathartic without actually being harmful.

Spending a month with a lying sack of poo poo so you can get one over on him isn't something I associate with mental stability. Sure, it's wonderful that she didn't bury him in the forest after an extensive test of her knife collection, but spending that much time and effort on your soon to be ex seems self-damaging to me. I'm not saying "The best way to get over someone is to get over someone" and other empty platitudes like that, but staying with someone like that, presumably having sex and faking intimacy for a month, just to get back at them doesn't seem healthy. Just knee him in the balls and sleep with his dad like a normal person.

In central and east Asia, the whole genocide thing is really downplayed in their curriculum on 20th century Western Europe. They tend to only think of him as a charismatic nationalist leader. Doesn't hurt that reactionary nationalism has a strong political base in countries like India. I mean, just look at Modi.

Actually that could be a bit of an odd one. Look up where the original actual Aryans came from. But yes, it was actually a thing

In general though, because they were never occupied/threatened/etc by the Nazis themselves, lots of people in Asia kind of have a blind spot to Hitler. Bring up the Japanese, on the other hand...

AITA for calling my girlfriend a slut?

I have been with my girlfriend for five years. Our years has been up and down in conflict, and we have had our fights over issues.

​Since the start of our relationship, when we went out drinking with friends, we all started playing "Never have I ever". She told everyone about the several times she has slept with different people in different situations. for example, "I poked him on the shoulder, and then we ended up in bed", and "I was heading on a afterparty, but then this guy asked me to join him home, so I did". If you make those examples and add 30 different ones, you have it all (that I know of)

When she first told them a couple of them, It was entertaining, who has not slept with other people when you are close to their thirties, right?

​After the eight story, I felt at an unease, thinking that my girlfriend was sharing too much, and that she was putting herself in a bad light, and that I felt my stomach churn for each new story she told. I took it up with her, that I thought and she said, "its in the past, it does not matter now".

​I do agree with that statement, but it still keeps bothering me that she mentions those stories. When all comes to all, I get the impression that she is unknowingly calling her self cheap, and easy to get to bed.

​I took it up with her today, after she told a entertaining story about peeking on some boys in the shower at high school. When the story finished, she again ended it with, "he was the worst guy that I ever slept with". I again felt my stomach churn because of it and saw it as the final straw, so I confronted her with my reasoning, saying that, she gives the impression of being cheap, and easy, and it makes me feel bad. I hope you can respect me enough to try to contain yourself from saying these stories when I am present, as I don't like to hear them and you are putting yourself, and myself by proxy in bad light.

​She said that she couldn't help herself, and that she blurted these things out sometimes, and that she couldn't guarantee that she did so in the future. I said that it was okay if that happened, but when she did, she could afterwards, say that "I know you feel bad when I am telling these stories." So that it does not bother me so much, and I know she cares about how I feel.

​She would not listen to that suggestion, and I said, that "It is not interesting to hear about your past when you once poked a guy on the shoulder, and that made you go sleep with him afterwards. You were acting like a slut".

She then got furious and angry with me for calling her that, and here I am. Am I in the wrong here?

Lol. Yes, your gf tells you she was creeping on naked people and watching them shower without consent and clearly the problem is that she had sex with one of them later.

Gimme yer frickin pancreas

I needs it for reasons.
Man, I wish I'd done something that awesome to the fuckers who cheated on me.

Someone earlier mentioned how much being cheated on loving sucks and how cheaters don't really face consequences and often come out on top of the situation. It's absolutely true and thus considering this is likely the only consequence he will ever face for being such a lying shithole who put her health in danger (because someone who cheats obviously gets tested rigorously and always wraps up, right?), I am not only okay with it, I would like to throw her a party.

(Regular reminder of the societal imbalance in safety between men and women so flipping the genders isn't always comparable, but as a woman, if you did flip the genders here, I'd still think it was an awesome move.)


And if the spying on high school boys story is correct, slut girlfriend is not a slut - she's a sexual predator. He should leave and feel uncomfortable, but not because she's hosed a lot of people. I wish people hosed more - they might not be so bad at it then.

Dear Prudence and the Legend of the Three Rings

quote:

Q. Diamond: Before my mother died, she had the diamonds on her engagement ring made into three necklaces for her three granddaughters. My niece left hers with her mother before going to college; she is engaged now and wants to turn the necklace back into a ring. My sister lost the necklace. She swears she turned the house upside down looking for it. It’s missing. Now my sister wants my daughter to give up her necklace and pretend it is her daughter’s. The necklace has been appraised at over $1,000.

My daughter is older and gay, and she never wears jewelry. My sister insulted my daughter by saying the necklace was “wasted” on her and it was “highway robbery” for her to pay the full price. She insinuated that our mother wouldn’t want my daughter or me to “ruin” the only wedding any of the grandchildren will have. (Our other niece committed suicide two years ago.) I told her she needed to stop talking before she ruined our relationship, then I hung up. As far as I can tell, my sister hasn’t fessed up yet nor has she contacted my daughter. I haven’t mentioned this situation to anyone and I am afraid of my daughter getting hurt. It was a hard road when she came out and I worry this will make her reject the rest of our family. I am furious at my sister. If she had been apologetic, I know my daughter would just give her the necklace out of the goodness of her heart, but her attitude is awful now. Should I tell my daughter about this?


A: It’s one thing to lose an heirloom someone else left in trust with you, but to demand an heirloom from another relative so you can cover your rear end instead of just saying, “I’m sorry, I lost it, how can I make it up to you?” especially when you clearly consider that relative less important by virtue of being gay and childless … whew. I can see why you’re worried that your daughter would cut off that side of the family if she knew! Your sister, at least, sounds like she’s begging for an estrangement.

I’m of two minds here. Part of me wants to spare your daughter knowledge of her aunt’s indifference and entitlement, if it’s at all possible. In that case, I’d suggest you tell your sister that you’re going to do her the favor of not sharing how cruelly she spoke about your daughter and that you hope she’ll behave better in the future. You’re a better judge than I am of your sister—is she the type of person who’d appreciate the chance to half-acknowledge she behaved badly, then never speak of it again, or would she be likely to throw a fit? If you think the second outcome is more likely, then I think you’re better off warning your daughter in advance, because there’s not much you can do to ensure your sister’s silence and I think your daughter deserves some warning.

In that case, give your daughter the bare bones of what happened: that you stood up for her with your sister, and that you’re ready to offer whatever she needs in support. It may be that your daughter decides to stop speaking with her aunt; frankly, I think that’s the best choice for her.

In game theory there are different kinds of games, and one of them is intended to determine how much you care about fairness. Basically everybody pools together money and it gets divided out by the number of people in the pool regardless of contribution structured so that as long as only one or two people are cheating the system everyone comes out ahead but they come out more ahead. At the end though, a new rule is introduced, players may discard their money to remove money from other players piles. Most people, even those who got scammed by players who contributed less, look at their money and decide having some money is better than no money and forgo punishing the scammers. A small portion of people, however, can't stand this injustice at all and will willingly go flat broke destroying every cent they can of the cheaters' money.

What I'm saying is this woman needs to be trained to have a particular set of skills.
