watch the Sandra Bland arrest video and the police response to not using her signal light, and then compare that to the account of Dylan Roof getting treated to Burger King on his way to the cop shop after murdering a dozen black folks for starters. Watch the Stephon Clark bodycam footage, google black lives matter

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but in an academic sense, being involved in a huge cheating conspiracy is absolutely the kind of thing that can be "one incident and you lose" when you aren't in high school. And since it is an AP course, it is for college credit. In my admittedly poo poo opinion, she already got her reward by only getting a zero on the test

That entirely depends on who you're talking about. 2 is the biggest problem for himself, 1 and 2 are tied for his girlfriend, 1 is the much bigger problem for society at large.

I kind of hate political SA and political twitter. I mean an alternative for like, irl friend stuff not for politics.

I used to be way into politics but man these last few years beat it out of me. Not just the Trump stuff, although that too, but the constant hot take culture all around. I'm going to vote the farthest left democrat I can in the primary, and then whichever democrat wins the primary I'll vote for them in the general election. Same thing for any election up and down the line (from state house to president). Other than that, I'm completely checked out. I stopped going to D&D at all a few months ago and life is better for it.

Anyways, this isn't politics chat, but relationship shitposting. We were talking about fragility earlier, here's an example. No, it's not white fragility, but some lovely male fragility.

My boyfriend (30m) and I (25f) always play wrestled. He stopped enjoying it once I started being able to hold my own, and I feel weird about that.

quote:

My boyfriend and I would often joke around by play wrestling, from the start of our relationship, like if we were cuddling in bed and I wanted to get up earlier, he'd wrestle me back into bed. Or on the beach, he'd pick me up and carry me around and joke that he'd dunk me in the water. Stuff that we both found fun; I never felt like he was being too pushy or doing it when I seriously wasn't in the mood. We've been together for about 3 years and this has been our dynamic the whole time.

About 6 months ago, I started at a martial arts gym that has kick boxing, krav, and bjj, and I've been going to classes a lot. I try to go to the gym 4 or 5 days a week. I'm small but the instructions are good at teaching us to work with what we got, and I've gotten pretty good at throwing my whole weight behind what I do, and leveraging my body to put a lot of power behind anything. Plus just working with physics to make yourself as hard to push around as possible. Learning to take a hit without loosing my footing, to weasel my way out of holds. It's fun learning what does and doesn't work on someone way bigger.

Even though wasn't why I started at my gym, I started getting really good at holding my own when my boyfriend and I were play wrestling.

When he'd try to pin me in bed, I can usually get out pretty quick. I was still having fun with that, I felt proud of myself generally. For using the stuff I was leaning outside of the class and having it work. And my boyfriend would pout about me pushing my way out of bed or whatever but I always thought he meant that in a playful way. (Well, some of what I was learning, obviously I left out the punching and kicking haha)

Recently, my boyfriend and I went camping with a bunch of friends and we were all laying around on beach blankets around the fire and drinking. My boyfriend playfully grabbed me from behind when I was getting up to get beers, and I was able to shove him in the stomach with my elbow then grab his jaw and push upwards leaving him off balance (imagine a pez dispenser)

Our friends were laughing about it and calling me "street fighter" and stuff, and I played up the joke, doing a couple kicks at the air when I went to get drinks. I thought we were just playing, we'd play wrestled like that for basically our whole relationship. So I didn't really make the connection as to why my boyfriend seemed to be in a bad mood when I got back.

We kept drinking and later that night my boyfriend said that he didn't like how I took it "too seriously" when he was just playing around. And it was crappy of me to do stuff like stick my pointy elbows at him and such. And just generally use stuff I'd learned at the gym on him. He said it wasn't as fun or flirty as before I started at the gym.

I said that even back then, I'd tried to wrestle back, I just didn't know what I was doing so I'd mainly flail around and shove instead of anything that works. And yeah it turns out he misses when he could overpower me like that. I said that I wasn't about to fake it, and that if he wanted to he should join me at the gym sometime. And he wasn't a fan of that, he said it wasn't fun if we'd be taking it too seriously.

I said that I couldn't just fake not knowing how to push back, and if it wasn't fun anymore we didn't have to do it anymore.

And since then, our intimacy has suffered and I think that's why. I also feel a little weird that he only enjoyed it when he could push me around and then once we were on more equal footing (him being bigger and stronger but me having better technique) he no longer thought it was fun. I don't know if that should bother me as much as it does but it feels like he prefers me weak.

Can I have some advice on how to get our playfulness and intimacy back? And whether I should be feeling so weird about things...

tl;dr My boyfriend stopped enjoying play wrestling once I started being able to hold my own. Our intimacy and playfulness in our relationship is suffering and I also feel weird about the fact that he seemed to prefer me weak

Fragile, sure, but if he tried to keep her in bed and she forces her way out in 3 seconds, obviously no intimacy is going to happen.

Maybe she should start trying to keep him in bed.

so "not all white people", kind of like not all men?

White people, men or women, generally and broadly don't get it. They think they do though, that's what makes it even worse. That's why we call it systemic racism. Most white people are profoundly unaware of what privilege means, so they become indignant when that entitlement is called out, especially if they think they already get it. That's called "white fragility", there's tons of information on this cause and effect process which is very common. So if you call out someone's actions for being entitled or god forbid racist white people lose their loving poo poo.

We have an entire sub-forum dedicated to this issue. But I suspect it's because if you point it out in GBS you get poo poo on

imagine being so galaxy-brained you woke yourself into thinking "the different races don't understand each other" and "people of different races shouldn't date because they're too different" lmao

The wife in this is absolutely garbage. If you were angry the first time reading this then perhaps you'd be interested to know that the greenstone mentioned (Pounamu) is extremely significant in Māori culture.

Maybe it's just a coincidence, I dunno, but the wife apparently knew enough to dispose of the correct way (in a river), so there is a good chance that she knew in advance the significance of the jade and still choose to get rid of it.

That seems to be the reddit consensus too, but I think the boyfriend is being a big dork because he's sulking about not overpowering his woman anymore.
