We're back to how the brain has to TRY to be better, it is naturally selfish and only knows itself. If you break the brain's function, it has a hard time trying to be better. It can't empathize as well.

My Spanish teacher in high school was a rich girl from the upper crust of Nicaragua. She taught us proper Spanish (read not that trashy low-class Mexican poo poo). Her substitute teacher was a Mexican woman, and she purposefully taught us Mexican pronunciations and phrases, etc, just to piss her off.

In the middle of my second year, the teacher from Nicaragua met a very rich and handsome man who was sailing around the world. So, my teacher quit and that was that, now the Mexican sub was the teacher.

I’ve always wondered if Sra. Staebell got strangled and then dumped in international waters or not.

Glad to see you're really attacking the hard-hitting tough issues of today like "laws on the books nobody will ever enforce" as literally every city in the midwest and west is hilariously segregated like redlines are gospel and I constantly hear white supremacist bullshit every time I go anywhere west of the cascades and east of Minnesota. In Coeur D'Alene working a brushing job in 2015, KKK flyers to people's houses with a loving meet & greet at a public library. Coastal race relations really has a winning record to stand behind

Good Idea: Forcing other regions to wake up to their substantial race issues that they pretend aren't a big deal.
Bad Idea: Pretending the South isn't a raging dumpster fire on race relations.

i said nothing about white men in my original post. in fact, if she had said that she didn't want to date white guys anymore i would have understood that because yes, white people are pretty much all racist whether purposefully or through an inability to comprehend different racial issues and if she doesn't want to deal with that then it's her choice. to also attach a negative association to every other race than your own, however, is not a good thing to do.

Did she do that or did she tap out from something that hurts because she’s in a lot of pain right now?

AITA for buying my brother-in-law condoms when I heard he doesn't use them?

quote:

My wife has a younger brother (29) who has been in a relationship with his high school sweetheart (who's also a 29 year old male) for about 12 years. I think of both of them as my family, they're my children's uncles, we spend a bunch of time together and we get along great. I recently had a vasectomy, I'm 44, we have 3 kids and we aren't planning on having any more. After one Sunday lunch with our BILs, we sent the kids away and us adults had some drinks and started talking about my vasectomy. At one point, I said how great it was to finally not have to worry about protection, and how great it felt without it. And I said I almost feel sorry for them not experiencing it. My BIL laughed and said: What are you talking about, we haven't used protection since high school.

I was going to reply something, but the kids came running in so I dropped the topic. I later thought about what he said and talked to my wife about it, saying that I don't think it's safe for them to be having sex without condoms, as a couple of gay men, and my wife laughed at me. Apparently, just because they've been together for a long time, it's safe? She told me to drop it and let them live their lives however they want.

I thought it was ridiculous of her to have that reaction to her own brother not using protection and realized she wasn't going to tell them anything about it. So I figured I would buy some condoms and give them to my BILs and tell them I was worried about their safety and that they should really rethink not using protection.

A couple of days ago, we had another lunch together, we sent the kids away again, and I gave them the condoms. I rehearsed a whole speech about how I wouldn't want anything to happen to them and that they should stay safe. But, rather than seeing my gesture for what it was - a gesture of care - they were offended. They asked if I am suggesting they shouldn't trust each other? They said they had never slept with anyone else their whole lives and if they managed to have an exciting enough sex life not to cheat on each other for 12 years, they'll probably manage the same in the future. And my wife's brother also said that, by the same token, I should be continuing to wear condoms despite having had a vasectomy. After shouting at me for 10 minutes, they just left. My wife has been incredibly mad with me and demanded I apologize to them, but I refuse to apologize for caring about their health and safety. I don't see how what I did was THIS horrible. They could have just declined the condoms. And their arguments are ridiculous. So what if they've been together for 12 years? People have cheated on each other after being together for longer than that.

He doesn't see why BIL's rebuttal is correct because the only thing he would have to refute it is that his belief that homosexual love is not as strong as heterosexual love
people are going to think like this for a long time, it's both a reason why and an effect of gay marriage only being legally recognized in the last ten years

Alabama just happens to have an insane amount of white racists who hate black people. Go over to AZ and the white racists there vote for sherrif joe because they hate hispanic people. ohio hates middle easterners and black people.

I have to say that I also tire of the lol south argument. Growing up Black in the south was horrid but so was college as a Black student in the northeast.

It doesn't help that large parts of how we think of the Civil War and how it went down are shaped by the Lost Cause revisionists, things like Sherman being a bloodthirsty murder monster who slaughtered civilians with glee and Grant being an incompetent drunken butcher who only succeeded by dint of numerical superiority against Lee's superior tactical skills.

AITA for serving my daughter garlic before her first date?

quote:

Throwaway because quite a few friends know about my main account.

On Saturday night, my 16 year old daughter (Elle*) had her first date with a boy that she really likes. They were going to see a movie at about 8pm, so she was still having dinner at home before going out. I cooked steak and potatoes for my children, but I decided I’d also put some garlics in the oven to caramelise as Elle loves roasted garlic. However, I was aware she probably wouldn’t want them tonight if she planned on kissing the boy, and I thought I’d have a bit of fun with that as her Dad.

When I served up dinner, Elle rejected the garlic as I expected she would. Innocently I asked, “Elle, you love roasted garlic! Why don’t you want them tonight?” She went very red in the face and wouldn’t tell me why. I asked once more and my wife told me to be quiet and that I was embarrassing her. I laughed and apologised to Elle, but also joked to my wife that “I wouldn’t want garlic breath when we first kissed either”.

My wife and Elle are both very mad at me right now. They think that I embarrassed her for no reason and was being cruel when “no girl wants to bring up kissing with her Dad, especially not garlic breath kissing.” I was just having a little fun. Am I the rear end in a top hat?

3 day license suspension .05

quote:

Blew a cautionary (over .05 under .09) wouldn't provide me exact reading. Automatic 3 day license suspension.

Had 2 pints in an hour and a half. Last drink was at 9:25, was pulled over at 12:15. My BAC shouldn't have been so high regardless of gender, weight... No BS I do drink mouthwash, pack a day smoker, no where to spit. In the time prior to being pulled over I had drank 1/3 the bottle, I did have it in the vehicle with me. I was pulled over as I was smoking a cigarette, shortly after mouth wash. I'm on prescription adhd medication and currently OTC cold medication. One or several of these factors were effecting my BAC.

The officer asked me to sign a document and when I asked to read it first I was told no and he wrote on the form that I had refused to sign. He informed me I was able to get my car in three days but I'd have to wait until the following morning to get my license back. I was shocked he recommended this as it's illegal to drive without your license in the vehicle. The officers answer was "you'll only be ticketed if you get pulled over".

Lastly I asked if I could have a blood sample drawn as I'm certain the breathtalyzer was inaccurate and I was told no, however if I wanted blood drawn I could do it at the hospital and include records in an appeal. I had the test done but it took 4 hours to see a doctor so it's useless.

So.. Any chance an appeal will even get a second glance? It's been an awful experience, I was fed false information several times, given different answers, and recommended to do something illegal. At the very least I feel I should file a complaint
