MarcusSA posted:Wait what the gently caress. Am I missing something here? This from the thread pretty much answers it quote:YTA. You insulted her and your other coworkers to her face, and then attributed it to their gender. You disagreeing with her reasoning (that "men" told you to feel that way) doesn't change that. And when you insult other women for being women based on high school movie tropes, women are going to be mad. Being called a "pick me" might hurt your feelings, but you said downright nasty things about her and other women to hurt their feelings first. If you feel that you're so frequently having your feelings hurt by groups of women like this, consider that their judgement might not be random. It might be that you consider insulting other women bluntly and matter-of-factly to be acceptable, and that makes them uninterested in giving you the benefit of the doubt. After all, you didn't give said benefit of the doubt to them, when they were actively being friendly and trying to include you. I also think OP isn’t on the social cues up and up so to say. And yes, other women REALLY dislike women who are all “I don’t like ~girly~ things” “I’m not like other women”, myself included. teen witch fucked around with this message at 06:52 on Sep 12, 2019 |

AITA for abruptly cutting off contact with my SO? My SO lives two states away, we have known each other for just over a year. Our relationship is a 30/70 split. He comes into town every few weeks and stays with me. Every other month I go to his place. We've been good to one another, aside from the distance, since we started seeing each other. A few days ago he arrives on my doorstep for our planned visit, but he looks like he's been in a bad fight. Bruised, bloody. Broken nose. Of course I'm alarmed. I ask him what happened. He says it's nothing. I can't imagine him getting into any trouble between here and the airport, but he won't give me any details. I ask if he was jumped or robbed. He says no. He has his wallet and phone. He doesn't want to call the police. He doesn't want me asking any more questions. I made a decision and told him to go somewhere else. I shut the door on him. He didn't put up a fight, and maybe that's why I'm still fighting with my decision days later. I don't want to be involved with somebody who's not able to be communicative with me. Especially when it's about something that could potentially put me at risk. Am I the rear end in a top hat for not letting him in? He's been sending me messages since, asking me to reconsider, but I can't bring myself to entertain it until he tells me the truth.

AITA for being upset my teacher lied to me. Okay so I (14f) play for my schools running team. I would say I am pretty good at it. We have to have a team of 8 and we have 6 permanent membets but need to more. So our coach did trials. Somehow my coach made me the standard? Basically they had to race me and from therr my coach would decide. We did this with around 15 people and one of them way a boy with a physical disability. I do not know the specifics but he struggles for running fast and for long periods of time. Before his trial my coach said the boy wouldnt make it onto the team but asked if I could let him win because it will help with his self confidence. I was like sure, i didnt mind and it would be obvious to anyone who was watching what was happening. So I let him win a d he celebrated and I thought I had done a good thing. But then I was kicked off the team. Two new people had been selected and they were very good runners and the boy who I let win had taken my spot. I was pretty upset because the coach said he wouldnt get on the team, so I went to him and asked why I had been kicked off. He said that the boy had beaten me fair and square and was much better then me. I reminded him of our agreement but he pretended he had no idea what i was on about. I said "screw you" and walked out. Literally running practice and competition was all I looked forward to at school and it had been taken away for a dumb reason. I assume that the coach has either been bribed or knows the boy, so I left a note on his desk saying that he was a jerk and I am glad to not be on the team if the coach was him. I told my friend how unfair I thought it was and he ghosted me saying I was being discriminatory towards people with disabilities and that made me question myself. AITA here?

Yeah lol no lambo is going to outrun a cop car on Venice Blvd. during the day. Sure he can zip a few blocks at 80mph but the cops could eventually catch up on a bicycle if they wanted to. Like the only place they could escape is maybe that insane 5 way intersection in Culver City that only exists to give people tickets.

Do not let them both cheerlead if you care about their safety. Something like 10% of all cheerleading injuries are concussions and like 25,000 hospital visits a year occur due to the sport some of which are much more gruesome like spinal injuries. It turns out children should not be thrown at each other in the air. Dont do it. Also dont let your kids header the soccer ball. This has been your "Dont play games that involve violently slamming your head into things" update

AITA for ignoring my SO when he tries to parent me about drinking? So I (21f) and my boyfriend (25m) have been together for a little over a year, living together for 7 mo. I have been through a lot in my life (moving out at 16, living in a bunch of different cities and states, in and out of therapy for mental illness and childhood trauma) and have a rocky past with a substances. Now, after going through what feels like 7 life times of bs, I finally have settled down and feel good about where I am in life. I’m a hard worker, I have a job, contribute to society and our relationship, I’m in university and have good grades, and more mentally stable than I’ve ever been. After a long day, usually everyday, of work and school and other adulting obligations, I like to have some wine or beer at night while watching my favorite show. He’s never been critical of me and my drinking recently, and it bothers the crap out of me considering that I’ve worked and been through so much to be where I’m at and frankly I feel entitled to be able to responsibly enjoy alcohol nightly in my apartment that he lives in. I also feel that even though our age difference isn’t that large, i feel that people change so much in their 20’s and he might be in a completely different stage of life than I am. Whenever he “parents” or “polices” me it goes something like this : Me: opens beer Him: are you serious? Me: what? Him: you’ve drank something for 5 days in a row. Me: so? I’m not getting blacked out just having a couple. Him: still, that’s very concerning and not normal and I think we should have a discussion about it (and so on) Me: rolls eyes At that point I just start ignoring him after that and usually we end up bitter at each other and I go on to enjoy my fricken wine. So am I the rear end in a top hat for feeling entitled to my nightly drink and feeling irritated at him for “policing” me? Or is he the rear end in a top hat for making it a bigger deal than i think it should be?

American football is by far the worst because the body armour lets players tackle harder but doesn't actually do anything to protect the brain. Soccer is fine as long as you're not headering the ball (though honestly, practicing headers is gonna do the most damage by far, compared to the minimal and isolated times you'd actually do it in a game).

You dont need to do it too many times to get the good brainscrambling, and its practiced because its allowed in games even if rare. If they eliminated it from the sport at professional level that would be it for the issue. Still have the issue of breaking your shins but hey, at least its not your brain.

The Lone Badger posted:Surprisingly, the less protective gear the better. I read somewhere this is true for boxing. Not a lot of head/jaw punches in old school bare knuckle boxing cos you break your loving hand, it's mostly body blows and very few knock outs. Gloves protect the hands but this allows you to punch a lot more heads and CTE is sure to follow. CTE in women is often the result of long term domestic violence. In men, it's almost entirely from contact sports. Just putting that one out there...

Smirking_Serpent posted:AITA for ignoring my SO when he tries to parent me about drinking? Not the rear end in a top hat but also not wise; drinking a couple of beers (ACTUALLY two or is she using a couple to mean "several", and how big is a beer, we talking stubbies or pints, how much of a bottle of wine each day?) EVERY night is actually really not good for you, there's growing evidence that long term daily alcohol consumption causes a lot of health problems later in life even when you're not getting drunk every day.

If she has lets say 2 beers a night 5 nights a week she is firmly in the top 20% of all drinkers. If she is, as we literally all suspect, drinking about 3 or more a night, she is in the top 10% and also basically an alcoholic. Boyfriend should stop policing her drinking and move on to travel agenting himself away from her

AITA for calling my body-positive co-worker "unhealthy, deluded, and bitter" after some rude comments she made about me?quote:I'm currently working part-time at a restaurant on my university's campus. I mostly work shifts with this one girl, we'll call her 'Anna', who is all for the body-positivity movement. She embraces her body type and regularly posts inspiring quotes or images on her social media accounts. Personally, I have nothing against this at all. I am also in full support of treating and accepting everyone no matter their body type. However, I do believe that everyone should be healthy (eating right, exercising, taking care of their mental health, etc) or at least attempting to be. I don't support those who use the body positivity movement to as a cloak to shield and justify their unhealthy and damaging behaviors.
