AITA for not taking a girls bikini pic down from my bar? I found some vintage bikini model pics from the 70s and it fit really well in my bar. A few years later some dude approaches my bar and demands I take them down because that his mom. Apparently she was a playboy model and the family is trying to hide it. I told politely I’m not going to. He yells at me and demands so I told him to fuckoff. I’ve been getting emails and phone calls from others (I’m assuming sane family). At this point I’m doing this on principal not because I give a poo poo about the poster

AITA for bad-mouthing the company my girlfriend works for? So, my girlfriend runs a retail store with a global footprint. They have been known to use sweatshops, and I recently discovered they never hire anybody full-time because then they would have to provide benefits. I brought up to her that no, I won't buy from your store, because I dont support what they stand for, and she called me an rear end in a top hat for not supporting her store. She missed her budget by $500 and wanted me to buy $500 worth of merchandise to return at a later date, just so she would hit budget. Now, the company has been downhill for a while, so I also have a financial investment against them. Granted, one store wouldnt impact that, but she thinks I didn't do it based on my "bet against them", and believes I personally did her wrong "out of spite". Spite for what, I don't know. Question is, Am I The rear end in a top hat for not providing my girlfriend with business for her budget based on the fact I dont support what her company stands for?

MightyJoe36 posted:Yeah, I'm old enough to remember a time when if a man wasn't married by a certain age, there were assumptions made about him. Yeah, I remember a time when they suggested a man was gay for not having kids. I get your struggle' Nope. Even then the expectations were still different because again: a man was expected to have a family ON TOP OF a job. Back then, a woman's job WAS the family. It was literally our main function. Men at least got to, ya know - think about their place in life and where they wanted to go in their careers and stuff. We were just baby machines. Men got crushed by the overwhelming expectations put upon them, women got crushed by the severe underestimation of what they can do due to society paternalistically protecting the baby machines, and the roles women were subsequently slotted into were diminished. It's not the same and trying to equate the two is offensive, considering women literally only became homebound baby-makers to satisfy men's desire to procreate. Chomp8645 posted:Unless you have just time traveled to us from the 50's or you live in Saudi Arabia I'd say it's pretty much disappeared. No it hasn't, this is like saying racism is dead bc of Civil Rights and 'slavery was so far in the past, it's done now' These expectations don't exist as literally as they did anymore but absolutely still affect society, or else you wouldn't have said what you did about there being expectations on men. You point was that it's all equal now, that we have the same pressures put on us to have a family regardless of gender, which isn't true And the concept of that bothered you so much, that society still might have more expectations of women in this regard, you gotta be doing this here StrangersInTheNight fucked around with this message at 18:07 on Sep 17, 2019 |

MagusofStars posted:Worth noting that many of these corporations don’t even allow their own employees to confront a customer about shop lifting unless they personally see it happen or the alarm goes off. Because if you’re wrong, it guarantees that customer is never ever coming back AND is bitching to all their friends losing other customers AND maybe it ends up on the local news. Walmart cut loose some associates who were told to charge into the parking lot and chase down a shoplifter who then died. Because their corporate policy explicit says "Do not forcibly stop shoplifters" they fired them immediately and those employees are charged with assault and murder/manslaughter. It doesn't matter if your boss is screaming at you to tackle a shoplifter, you can't ever take physical action as a store employee to physically restrain someone because whatever happens next no one from the company will support you. Guy falls and breaks an arm, guess who is personally liable and the store's legion of attorneys will make sure to extensively show the court how you violated company policy. Citizen's arrests are such a white male power fantasy I can't imagine any situation where someone trying to do it actually works and isn't reprimanded by the police and charged with assault and unlawful detainment themselves.

Found my (20sM) married father (40sM) on Grindrquote:Title is as bad as it sounds. I am not out to anyone, but I occasionally use grindr. Saw a profile who's stats looked suspiciously familiar. My location is off, so he could not see exact distance, and I changed all my info to be different. I still live in the same house as my family. Daddy, no My advice is to stop browsing the daddy category on grindr

AITA for posting memes and on Facebook about my absentee father? 33m and never met my biological dad. He only lives an hour away and I've still never met him by his choice. I however did meet his side of my family for the first time 2 years ago and they have all been wonderful to me, with a couple of exceptions. My dad reached out to me to meet a year ago and he bailed so that was that. I posted a meme on my personal Facebook page making fun of my absentee father and all of my aunts and my grandmother are quite mad at me and asked me to take it down. I said hell no, they have no idea what it's like to be in my shoes and now none of us are talking because of the big fight we got into over this. I told them if they feel that way then it was nice meeting them but I have no room for people who defend him in any way. They didn't respond to that except to tell me how upset they are with what I've done and that I should never have posted anything about him. So AITA? op's dad: ight imma head out

Here’s a fact that all the “but what about the men’s” shitheads don’t want to think about: if all white straight cis men vanished from the earth today, the lives of all those left behind would be made IMMEASURABLY better. Period. There is literally nothing they provide and they destroy everything. Get rid of them.

DemoneeHo posted:I feel like most classified agencies have their workers claim they are part of a cover agency or department instead of saying a generic "i work for the fed" This is correct. There's a lot of people who do classified work that aren't "secret agents", they just have access to classified documents for their job, so they hold completely regular government jobs that just require them to access and make things that most people aren't allowed to see. Their role is legitimate and has a full paper trail if anyone were to ask because they really are doing that job. Actual "spies" who exclusively do classified intelligence work, including field work, generally have a fictional government job that makes it normal for them to be seen going in and out of government facilities. Any actual spy would have a proper job that they could describe to people, even if only vague terms, and enough unclassified government work is still sensitive enough that you aren't allowed to tell people the details if they ask so "I can't say anything further" doesn't mean you're a spy. A guy who's suspiciously vague and making a show of locking his stuff away is probably bullshitting.

How do I (27F) turn my friendship (23M) into one with benefits? (Complicated situation) So I have this friend who is a mutual friend with my ex. The ex and I both met him at the same time, and I think I'm closer to him as we would talk basically every day. My ex broke up with me, and this friend was the first to notice my FB status change and called me right away. After I got over the breakup I realized I'm super attracted to this friend (I'll call him S). Recently, S moved in with my ex and other friend (who S is really close to). Just a lovely coincidence that my ex is also in the house. For a while we havnt been communicating every day like we used to, and I found out its because S started dating a girl long distance. When he told me about it, he made sure I knew they were in an open relationship cause of the distance (yes I believe him). The last time we hung out one on one I got strong sexual tension with him, but when some other friends joined us he cooled off. I really want to turn this friendship into a friends with benefits thing. I don't want a relationship with anybody for the foreseeable future, but I've never been so turned on just by the presence of a guy before. Problem is, I don't know how to do it. I don't want to ruin our friendship if he really doesn't feel that way for me. Or if he believes in some guy code (I don't think he's the kind of person who would limit himself like that though, especially how the breakup happened. My ex was an rear end in a top hat and doesn't deserve any kind of dibs on me.) And I'm so useless when it comes to making a move on guys. I've never really done it. How can I go about this? Tl;dr: How do I make sure my guy friend knows I wanna gently caress him without being overly obvious, ruining our friendship, or making myself look like a fool? Also, he's now roommates with my ex
