No food invite guy is an rear end in a top hat. I would feel the same way even if there weren't the line in there about having been an MRA. Ouija Board college student is a dork because Ouija boards are dorky. Nutcase boomer is obviously a nutcase. Boring cumtown boyfriend is obviously an rear end in a top hat. Not for liking cumtown. Not even for talking about it too much. But for doing the "okay." thing when his girlfriend is excited about something. Only big dogs old man boyfriend is a huge piece of poo poo for a number of reasons and I hope friend betraying girlfriend wakes up and severs. However, "I just don't think I'd love a French Bulldog" is some bullshit. You love all dogs that aren't currently biting you.

A guy pulled that on me once during my online dating days. Invited me to stop by his place first and said we could either go out for food or order something and watch a movie. Needless to say, it didn't seem like there were ever any plans for food. I ended up eating a protein bar I had in my purse, and asking his roommate if I could have a handful of wheat thins on my way out the door after I turned the guy down for sex.

And at least in the US, the answer to "can they do..." from an employment standpoint is almost always the same: Unless there's a law specifically banning it (discrimination, minimum wage, etc), yes, they can do that.

Of course, the strictness of enforcement certainly varies, but the policies themselves are near-universal. I'm not sure if I agree, legally, e.g. in public universities I think that would potentially violate due process and various First Amendment interests, and I'm not familiar enough with collective bargaining or tenure to comment on top of that. I can see the interest in enforcing such policies about one's own students I am sure those have long existed or been justifiable improper conduct, but I'm not sure if universities would have wanted to put broader rules on the books until recent years and that becomes another process question. This is getting too lost in the weeds for this thread

I don't know why but I never unsubscribed from LifeProTips and sometimes I wonder how these people look at the world LPT: Don't use your lap for any kind of cutting or engraving work, no matter how light or brief. One slip of the tool can open the femoral artery in your thigh, which can be fatal in a short time. quote:People who do such work regularly know better, but most people don't. No matter how simple and basic the task - e.g., making a hole in something bigger with a screwdriver - don't use your lap for it. Do it on a table. LPT: Always get your vehicle inspected as close to the first day of the month after it expires. After twelve years you've saved yourself from paying for an additional inspection. quote:Disclaimer: If your check engine light is on, get your car looked at. Don't neglect your vehicles warning signs. You can save a lot of money in the long run by spending a little money now. LPT:If you're in school or college, you should always carry two spoons in your backpack. So if you want to share your meal with a friend or vice versa you wouldn't have play with one spoon. There's also one every loving week about how car dashboards have an arrow pointing to which side the fuel tank is on

After reading so many picky eater stories I've begun to question what even constitutes a vegetable? In my own mind, I usually restrict it to the above ground stem, leaf, flower and (maybe) fruit parts of a plant, excluding roots, nuts/seeds and definitely grains. But all these wives/girlfriends of chicken tendy and French fry eaters always say poo poo like "well at least he sometimes eats veggies if I slather them in oil and salt, like corn and potatoes and peas". Like on what world is corn and potatoes counted as a vegetable?! Are French fries vegetables? Is bread a vegetable? Is just anything that's not meat a vegetable? I mean if you think about it, animals eat vegetables to become meat, so maybe meat is a vegetable too?!?!?!

My friend bought some mail-order boner pills from cumtown ads and complained that all of his phone's targeted ads are for competing boner pills now. I feel like it tells me all I need to know about cumtown's audience that someone is advertising boner pills to 18-34 year olds. Like, it's not PGA golf. If that post is real it confirms something about cumtown mostly only appealing to men, but I think most things like that post are fake and written by cumtown fans so cumtown fans can copypasta it.

Root vegetables are definitely vegetables - you'd have to go pretty far to find someone who looks at a carrot and says "nah, that doesn't count". Once you've taken a vegetable and distilled it down to pure starch coated in oil, then no, it's not really a vegetable any more.

Kids are way more sensitive to bitter flavors, and if you grew up with poorly cooked vegetables the problem compounds itself.

Pinecone Sample posted:I'm not sure if I agree, legally, e.g. in public universities I think that would potentially violate due process and various First Amendment interests, and I'm not familiar enough with collective bargaining or tenure to comment on top of that. I can see the interest in enforcing such policies about one's own students I am sure those have long existed or been justifiable improper conduct, but I'm not sure if universities would have wanted to put broader rules on the books until recent years and that becomes another process question. I am a tenured professor and starting a sexual relationship with one of my students is one of the few ways that I can be fired. It is not illegal, but it is very clearly against the university's code of conduct. That said, there are shades of gray in the matter that come down to the specific power balance between the professor and the student. You cannot be in a relationship with a student in one of your classes, where you assign their grades, because that power imbalance could lead to coercive behavior. The same applies to a student and their TA, even if they're both students and both are around the same age. It would also be improper to have a relationship with a student in your department even if they weren't specifically in any of your classes, because there's enough overlap and communication between professors in that case for coercion to be a problem. Not to mention the obvious fact that 18-22 year old undergrads are just vulnerable in general and pretty much all professors are going to be old enough that the age imbalance alone would make it creepy. If a professor starts dating e.g. a postdoc or grad student in a different department, though, where the age gap is probably more appropriate and the professor has no control over the student's grades or the outcome of their degree, then the relationship is generally ignored though not specifically condoned. Academia is really incestuous -- like literally half of all married academics are married to another academic -- so most institutions tacitly accept relationships between career academics of different ranks (grad student being the lowest) as long as there isn't any obvious potential for abuse. You can look up "spousal hires" for another controversial situation that is just kind of accepted as the status quo because of how academia is. And, of course, if a professor does do something wrong, that doesn't mean that they actually have to be fired or punished. A couple of years ago someone caught one of the professors in the swimming pool after hours, swimming naked with one of his (male) undergrads. Because dismissal of a tenured professor requires what is essentially a court trial and tends to draw a lot of press attention, the university opted to just give the professor a mandatory sabbatical year, getting him off campus and out of teaching until after the student in question had graduated.

Uh basically hot cocoa on the couch the thing that's weirding me out is 'vegetable' as a value judgement on nutrition value. I'm pretty sure vegetables are just edible things we get from plants, like that's the literal definition. Some vegetables are also fruits, grains, nuts, etc, and then that categorization usually takes priority, and some fruits get arbitrarily kicked back to 'vegetable' if people think they're not sweet enough. But they're all vegetables. Vegetables are just plants that we eat.

I (26f) found out my long term boyfriend (29m) is living a double lifequote:I don't even know where to start. Last week, I woke up to a woman at my door that claimed to be my boyfriend of 3 year's wife. I thought she was a crazy person because I had literally woken up next to him that morning and he's the sweetest most loving person I know. She had plenty of proof however, he had two groups of friends, two social media accounts, two emails, two of everything. He left work and came to my place too and I pretty much just sat back in shock as the two of them had a screaming match. This is a person who had never raised his voice to me. She showed me pictures of a diary of his that described his uncontrollable anger and stories of hitting his son and tearing up his son's homework in frustration. I'm at a loss and probably still in shock a week later. He was the most loving boyfriend I've ever had and now I'm realizing I didn't know him at all. I have a list of therapists my insurance covers so I'll hopefully be able to make myself go to a few sessions. My entire future just fell apart in front of me. I keep waiting to wake up from this. I'm not sure why I'm posting this, I just needed to tell someone besides my parents.

I never said any of them were bad, they're all food and have their place in various healthy cuisines. And yeah, all plant foods could be technically defined as vegetables. But (based on cursory chatting in my work place at lunch time), there are plenty of plant foods that people typically exclude from that group, and I guess I thought things like cereals, starchy tubers and the like would be part of that group, but that attitude obviously isn't universally held so I'll admit being wrong on that one e: even my country (and americas) national food guide excludes those foods and puts them in a separate category? tho they are still plant foods
