The original question was this:

Pinecone Sample posted:

How common is it for universities to forbid professors from intimate relationships with any under student on campus? Can they?
And the answer is no, because undergraduate students are not all 18 year olds and older students do return to school and sometimes they are in preexisting relationships with people who might be professors. So the bar even in the strictest universities would be there, but trying to say those same students can't date professors with no supervisory relationship if the relationship starts after enrollment gets you into the weeds of marital and sex discrimination and trying to put age restrictions on there is also a legal mess. While I'm sure there's a university somewhere that has a blanket ban written in a way to avoid issues, most just make policies regarding ethics and conflicts of interest that provide guidelines for how to proceed with any given situation and any outright restrictions come with justifications meant to overcome any allegation of discrimination.

25M Never a girlfriend or kissed still a virgin never a date I'm fat ugly short and poor. No attractive women (20sF) like me. Nobody cares that I am miserable and no one wants to help me and no one cares about me. Can I get honest opinions on my looks please

TL;DR

I'm 25. I'm fat ugly amd short. never a girlfriend or kissed still a virgin and no attractive women like me. I have a horrible life because hot women don't want me.

All my friends have attractive girlfriends and wives i want their lives. My life sucks.

Every girl i liked has rejected me and friendzoned me and everybody tells me my league is fat ugly girls even my dad told me date ugly fat girls or to get a hooker so my life sucks.

Where I grew up in Colorado all the girls thought I was a loser and when I hung out with my friends my friends girlfriends think I'm a loser and it is because I'm ugly looking and fat

I now live in Massachusetts and I'm practically invisible to good looking women and I also don't have any friends here and I've lived here for six years I only have friends because I keep tabs and visit my once in Colorado but my family can't help me with attractive good looking women because they're all overweight and married overweight women so they settled so they're not the ones to get advice from.

If i lose weight and still can't attract a good looking woman then i wasted my time I don't want to lose a hundred pounds just to have to end up dating an unattractive woman still or a woman who is hardly plain looking or average and its like all i am gonna hear is this. "if you lose weight and don't get a hot girlfriend then I'm sorry but you gotta date the ugly ones and get use to it"

Oh, turns out he's a serial re-poster, and an earlier rant had this:

quote:

SARA The girl i had feelings for in high school but who friendzoned me is getting married to a guy who is cheated on her with a teacher She started dating him when me and her were seniors and he was a freshman. Hes an absolute scumbag. A total loving piece of poo poo who i wish actually died. I pray he gets cancer so I can piss on his tombstone. He was caught sexting a teacher caught on the news and has been caught texting other girls with intent to cheat multiple times. and now the girl I want is marrying him and A TEACHER HERSELF

She would use me as the shoulder to cry on and then when she was done crying to me she would have me go away and then she would go back to him after I'm not saying it wasn't my own fault but to some degree I was used emotionally

and now everybody is happy that they're getting married it's like I'm living in the Twilight Zone that people forget that he cheated on her with the teacher and got caught on the news.

Then five years ago when my mom passed away everybody I knew gave me their condolences even people I didn't like but they still were decent enough to tell me their condolences all except her she didn't even give me a my condolences at the minimum despite her feeding me lies saying how me and her were such close good friends. I go to therapy partially for this experience.

I then messaged her saying how it hurt me that she didn't say anything I told her how I felt about her I told her that her boyfriend now fiance is a scumbag I told her she's dumb for staying with a scumbag like that and the last thing she ever told me was "gently caress you loser sorry you're so mad at the world" THE WEEK MY MOM DIED last thing I ever said to her was "how is that possible? I'm not a Mexican scumbag who cheats on you. Isnt that what you prefer to gently caress?" That was five years ago and we haven't spoken since. The wedding was last month.

AITA for not wanting to honor my mother’s dying wish to give the house that my husband and I bought for her to my sister?

quote:

My husband and I bought a house for my mother in 2013 so she can move closer to me and our family. She lived there until a year ago when she was diagnosed with cancer. I took her in and she stayed with my family until she passed away two months ago.

Before she passed, my mother told me that she is worried about my younger sister because she doesn’t seem to have any direction in life, and she is easily influenced by other people (especially romantic partners) who often take advantage of her. My mother asked that when she dies I and my husband give the house we bought for her to my sister to make sure that there will always be a roof above her head. My sister is currently renting an apartment with her girlfriend, who I have a strained relationship with.

I am hesitant to do this because I think that if I give her ownership of the house, there’s a very probable chance that she will eventually lose it. There have been multiple instances in the past where her girlfriends (past and present) convinced her to make foolish decisions in order to get money quickly, and she never even questioned them (withdrawing from a time deposit account, selling heirloom jewelry, signing on as co-borrower to loans which proceeds she didn’t use). That’s just the kind of person that she is, when she loves someone she trusts them completely and has a hard time seeing when they might be asking her to do things that are not to her best interests.

My husband thinks that we should just give my sister the house since we can afford to gift it to her and it’s more important to honor my mother’s dying wish. If she loses the house then that’s on her but at least we did what my mother wanted.

Thoughts?

Edit: For those who are saying that I should let my sister live there for free, the concern I have with this is that I absolutely do not like her current girlfriend (the same girl who convinced my sister to sell an heirloom necklace our grandfather gave to my sister so that they can use the money to pay off the girl's credit card debt).

If I tell my sister that she can live in the house, her girlfriend will also move in, which I don't want to happen because why would I want someone like that to live in the house I bought for my mother? But at the same time it feels wrong to tell my sister that she can move into the house but her girlfriend can't.

Thank you for buying me a house, you dear, now will you please give the house to your naive often-scammed BWM sister once I die? She's so easily tricked that I'm worried she'll run out of stuff to lose too quickly if she doesn't have a huge asset in her name

A previous, removed post:
I am in a relationship with somebody who use to be my best friend’s dad!

This is back in the thread, but friends don't let friends get a French bulldog or bulldogs or a pug or any other short to inverted nose breeds.

Sure, they may be cute puppies and decent dogs but their life quality is poo poo and they will inevitably die young with their tongues purple, gasping and bloody fluid pouring out of their nose and it is loving horrible. I work at an ER vet and I see this poo poo daily.

If they don't die from over-heating on like 1/2 the walk a normal dog does, they die from aspirating their own vomit when they try to eat or drink and then choke. Or we do surgery to try and correct their hosed up, elongated palates and they die from swelling and complications after a day or so on a ventilator. Even 6 month, otherwise healthy puppies die all the time.

Get a nice, normal-nose dog and watch it die from cancer after a decent lifespan. It'll still be horrific, but at least it can breathe comfortably for its whole life before it dies.

:yeah:

are cancer rates in dogs getting higher? kinda seems like it. is this a result of inbreeding* (if not so in so as much literal pure-bred, but more a wide-view-of-dog-breeding and genetics). sure seems like i'm hearing a lot more of dogs dying at 9-12 of cancer even if they aren't pure-bred

I'm obviously not in the position to talk about all dogs' lifespans, but in my field a dog that is 9-12 is doing drat good regardless of breed or what eventually ends its life. Cancer, kidney failure or hemoabdomen are the main things I see in older dogs.

My friend recently put down her chihuahua that was almost 17. That's drat good for a small dog. A larger dog can get 8-16 years depending on genetics or whatever. I've seen some really old dogs and cats. The oldest cat I personally saw was 23, the oldest dog was a Chi/terrier mix that was about 20.

I don't work in the Onco dept., but I swear those doctors make deals with the devil. They keep those patients alive and comfortable for ridiculously long times and then they try to lend any of their findings in cancer research to human cancer research doctors so that they can test and collaborate findings. It's really goddamn amazing.

I'm not sure that dogs or cats are dying sooner, but that we're finding out just why they are declining sooner. Hopefully that just lets us identify problems sooner so as to give them longer, happier lives.

The unfortunate increase of dog friendly spaces means that dogs are loving everywhere, and since we know that everything causes cancer, an increase of things means an increase of cancer.

Also there's the simple fact that all dogs gotta die from something. So if people are spending more for better quality food you get a bunch of dogs that would have gone in their sleep from a heart attack at 10 dying of cancer at 12 instead. Also more vet care means more diagnoses. 20 years ago that battle with cancer would just be "hey the dog can't walk" and then euth'd.

AITA for threatening to quit my friend's podcast if he doesn't stop bringing his girlfriend on the show?

quote:

Me and my friend, Mark, have our own podcast dedicated to movies and entertainment. The podcast was his idea and he's more or less the main host, but I'm the co-host and we both appear on every episode, sometimes just the two of us and sometimes with other friends. But about a month ago, Mark brought in his girlfriend, Meg, and she added absolutely nothing to that episode. We were discussing the Phase 4 of MCU films and during our conversation, Meg just randomly interrupts and asks "Is Batman in the MCU?" The whole episode was just her asking really dumb questions like that and Mark had to explain to me that she doesn't really follow movies as close as we do. I asked him why he even brought her on, and he said "She wanted to be on, so I said yes." I even told him that our podcast would benefit from having guests who are more knowledgeable on movies and he said that he'll try to explain that to her.

Ever since then, she's been on every episode we've done and our podcast has been taking some heat for it. Comments have been left telling us that she's detrimental since she rarely knows what she's talking about and she always interjects with comments and questions that make no sense. For example, a few weeks ago we were talking about Hobbs and Shaw and Meg kept referring to Idris Elba as Chris Rock. We kept having to correct her and she said "Didn't a movie with Chris Rock just come out?" We had no clue what she was talking about and it was really frustrating. Whenever she's not making stupid comments, she's always interrupting with some non sequitur, like one time when she randomly asked if soup counts as a drink while we were discussing the new Zombieland 2 trailer.

But a couple of days ago is when things got ugly. Me, Mark, Meg, and a couple of other friends were on the show and we were suppose to be giving our thoughts on Ready or Not, but Meg seemed to be upping her interrupting, non sequitur game. I was trying to give my thoughts on the movie, but Meg was taking selfies and kept asking Mark what she thought of them. I was really trying to control myself, but she just kept interrupting me with questions like "What's this movie even about?" and "Are we ever getting another Titanic movie?" It reached a point where I was trying to talk and she interrupted by asking "Have any of you guys ever been to Paris?" I lost my temper and shouted "SHUT THE gently caress UP!" at her. And while we were still recording, Mark yells at me to not talk to her like that and I started yelling that I'm done with the show.

I stormed out and called Mark later, telling him that I'm no longer going to be part of the podcast if he keeps bringing Meg on. I explained that she's affecting our views, but he said that she keeps asking to be on and he doesn't want to say no to her. I reiterated that I'm going to quit if he keeps letting Meg on and then he accuses me of ruining our podcast and that I'm "going too far."

calling those posters who were going insane over minor regional differences in grammar, your brethren needs advice:

AITA for correcting my wife's speech and grammar?

quote:

My wife grew up in a small community and I grew up in several large cities on the east and west coasts of the US. We met at art school - she went for fine art and I went for theatre. In my theatre training we were drilled on proper pronunciation. While I'm not perfect, I think I'm fairly intelligible.

My wife is an outstanding artist, and expresses herself visually in ways I couldn't comprehend being able to. In some ways I'm quite jealous of her abilities. She has a good vocabulary, too. She's taught me words and drawing techniques and I've attempted to use them in my daily life.

However, in her community, she picked up one of the regional traits we were "warned" about in speech classes - the i / e substitution. Basically, she'll pronounce words like "pillow" as "pellow", while she prounounces "pen" as "pin", and "lemon" as "limon".

On its own, I find it endearing. But, we have a kid. Our kid is starting to pick up the same substitutions, pronouncing "milk" as "melk", "pen" as "pin", and it drives me up a wall. I have no ethical issue with correcting my young learner, but I've also tried to extend that to correcting my wife when I hear the same idiosyncrasies.

Then there's just plain old terminology. Today she asked if I could barbecue up some hotdogs and hamburgers. To me, BBQ is a specific style of meat prep, with sauces and low heat and particular meats. You don't barbecue a hotdog, you grill it. So I corrected her - for clarity. Of course, I've now been banished to my office and am typing this up for a public consensus.

Show me the way, the truth, and the light, dear experts.

EDIT: She also spells things the way she pronounces them. She reads prolifically, but she was never taught to look up spelling and so she writes stuff phonetically- really tough when she puts a shopping list together and I have to text her photos of the list with “what’s this say?” and it’s supposed to be “cauliflower“ or something but it’s spelled in a way I cannot understand.

Also, she gets on my case about doing math in my head. Often, I can’t add two two-digit numbers in my head, and she things I’m joking when I say I need a calculator.

Edit 2: For the curious, she’s from the San Juan Islands in NW Washington State. I’m from Seattle. Geographically, they’re about 90 miles apart. Other people on the island do not talk like that, but her mother does. Her father is also from Seattle and doesn’t have the speech pattern. I’ve lived in Boston, SoCal, Chicago, and the Florida Keys, and have been around plenty of American dialects, which, when it’s regional, I don’t have a problem mentally parsing because I expect it in context. Since we’re both from the same area, it’s unexpected and 98% of everything we say to each other is the same dialectic.

I have a flat western American dialect and so does she. We both went to public schools and the same college of art in Seattle.

She’s still an artist, but I am now a computer scientist, and have developed a sensitivity to ambiguity.

Edit 3: she asked me to barbecue for a party, so I started putting a shopping list together and it had ribs and wings, and she says, “no, just hotdogs and hamburgers“.

Edit 4: thanks everybody for the feedback. I think it’s safe to say that I’m the rear end in a top hat and should curb the corrections. While a few of you sympathize, and while I maintain it isn’t regional or dialectical, there’s probably no changing her pronunciation, and she likely can not hear the differences.

Cheers!

Not gonna lie I would love the opportunity to be a podcast's Yoko Ono and just destroy that poo poo because nothing of value would be lost.

Also the entire premise of podcasts is explaining poo poo to people and that guy is dumb as gently caress for not realizing the girlfriend was giving him easy layups to say the obvious. The best podcasts are reductions of common and accessible knowledge relayed in a fun and entertaining way.

Like this idiot thought his podcast was a backdoor to being a tenured professor teaching masters level classes on pop media and having a layperson with genuine questions impeded that fantasy.

He ended up losing weight of his own accord afterwards and his parents seem to have basically given up on him, and it sounds like they were sending him to fat camp expecting that to do all the work for them. I get the impression that even if he had gone, he'd have gone back to his old weight within weeks of returning home because his parents won't do any work themselves.

Yeah it was definitely a case of Parenting at the Last Minute.

That's one of the threads I find interesting in these Reddit stories. Parents who realize their legal control over a child is about to expire and think they can last minute form a connection or have one last bit of control over their child's life.

AITA for laughing hysterically during the movie my gf decided we would watch? (A Time to Kill)

So I get that this is an extremely dramatic movie and wasn't intended to have any comedic moments.... however, when the antagonists were introduced the one dude is wearing a loving crop top wife beater. The second I saw it I burst out laughing and said the more evil they try to make this guy look the more absurd and less believable it is. So once the redneck duo started getting ready for the most abhorrent scene I was laughing maybe the hardest I've laughed during a movie. It is absolutely loving ridiculous to picture a person so evil choosing to wear a crop top and that's literally all he wears during the entire movie as his primary costume. Of all cinema I think it was the worst choice utilizedamd its in the final cut.... tbh I still laugh whenever she references how hosed up it was for me to laugh during this movie but I couldn't help it. It would be like papa smurf as an antagonist in The Pianist

I (26f) found videos my husband (28m) took of my sister at a fourth of July family event. He broke down, begged for forgiveness after I brought it up... and I just feel confused.

This is weird to say the least. I'm not sure what to think at this point.

Me and my husband have been together since high school, and we got married when I was 22 and he was 24. He is absolutely my DREAM man and I wouldn't of traded him for anything. I love him to death. I've never questioned his love or loyalty for me period, so this is just... A weird situation I've run into.

This last fourth of July, my entire family got together and celebrated at a local spot in our city. There were tons of activities and things to do, and it was amazing.

At one point, me and my husband and two of my younger sisters were in line to do a prize wheel. Right next to us, was a second line for a prize wheel as well. So there were two. In that line, was my sister, my dad and two younger brothers. I vividly remember this when it happened.

Me and my husband were hugging, joking, laughing and having fun while we were waiting. He was hugging me and kissing on me, and it was just nice. I was absolutely in heaven.

Well, that memory has been completely tainted as of today though, and now I'm extremely sad and in a weird place mentally.

I was going to go through Google Photos and look for a specific time in July, but couldn't remember when. I just searched July, and looked through everything.

I saw a video and the preview of it was obviously my sister. I instantly recognized it, and remembered it was from the fourth because of her outfit. I thought it must have been an accident that I took somehow?

Then... I realized next to that one... Were about 5 others. I played them and realized it wasn't me that took it... They had to of been my husband's videos. The sound was of me and my husband talking, kissing etc and the videos were solely focused on my sister standing in line.

I felt weird about it and asked him as soon as he got home, and he broke down and apologized. I was broken, because part of me thought it HAD to of been an accident. He didn't know it was recording. Totally unintentional. But nope. It was on purpose.

He cried and begged me to forgive him, he apologized a million times and swore he'd never do it again and "he didn't know why he even did".

I'm confused and just lost right now. I don't feel the same about him suddenly and I'm scared. I've loved this guy for years and years. He's the only guy I've known as an adult. He's my soul mate.

Now I'm sitting here... Hes next to be sleeping, and I almost feel disgusted. He took a video of my sister waiting in line. A moment that should've been innocent, he ruined it.

He was kissing on me, hugging me, whispering in my ear how he loves me.... And recording my sister. I feel like I'll never see him the same again.

I don't know what to do. I've been with this guy for years and years, we're trying to start a family of our own. We're in love.

On one hand I feel like it's too much to just throw what we have away.... But on the other hand, I feel weird toward him now. Like he's a stranger or something. I don't know :( please help.

Tl;dr; found videos my husband took of my sister at a family event. She was just waiting in line like we were. I feel weird and don't see him the same... But we've been together since high-school and I don't know that I should throw it away over this. I'm so confused. So conflicted. Someone please help me :(

The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.

calling those posters who were going insane over minor regional differences in grammar, your brethren needs advice:

AITA for correcting my wife's speech and grammar?


You took theatre classes on speech performance; stop trying to treat it like speech therapy. Accents are weird and as long as folks are understood the rest shouldn't matter nearly as much as some people think it does. Unfortunately some of those people who think it does are in positions where they can make it so, but that's no reason to join them.

AITA because I have an issue with my boyfriend 'surprising' me before and after work?

this is something I've received mix feedback on from family and friends, so why not ask strangers online, right? lol!

So here's my situation, I'm 25f and have dated this man (32) who we shall call Cal for 4 months. In my view this behavior is a bit extreme for a relationship this is still in the early stage of development. I'm vet tech at an animal hospital at least 30mins from my home and 45mins from Cal and work full time. Lately Cal has been surprising me by visiting me 10 minutes before my shift (I usually get to work early) or waiting outside my job next to my car until the shift is over. The first two times, okay...um sweet, I suppose. But this has become a weekly occurrence, 3x times a week if he's not busy with work. He never tells me when, or even asks, he just does it. He knows my schedule because it's a set schedule.

I understand him seeing it as a romantic gesture, but for me when I'm getting out of work I'm either unkept or aggravated and just want alone time. And the 10 minutes before my shift I can't handle. I like to clock in early, at least 5mins so I can't manage a quick 3min talk. To me it's even a bit stalkerish. I've brought this to his attention at 3 times and he's taken it as insult, no matter how I explained it.

I talked to friends and families in addition. Some say I need to give him a break - he's just trying to be lovey dovey - and accept it as the affectionate gestured it is, along with me being an a hole and selfish. And then some say this is red flag behavior I need to address despite already addressing 3 times. So AITA
