Dylan16807 posted:Their post is pretty dumb but this interpretation is also pretty dumb. They're saying that both are in the same ethnic group of caucasian. It's overly simplistic but it's not whatever you're reading into it. They'd probably have no objection if it was "sectarian tension". You don't know what an ethnic group is.

I didn’t read any replies. But I can psychically predict that people are quibbling the definition of race and ethnicity. If they’re from the Republic and Northern Ireland they’re both Irish (and Irish people are white). This isn’t an English/Irish question. Preview post submit post

Dylan16807 posted:I'm not Pirate Radar. I'm clarifying what Pirate Radar said. Because you made a rebuttal to something nobody said. Ethnic groups are rarely defined by race. Most often they are not. Most ethnic conflict in the old world is between peoples who look interchangeable with one another. Including the Greek/Turkish and Armenian/Azeri examples given earlier that no one batted an eye at.

Pirate Radar posted:If they’re from the Republic and Northern Ireland they’re both Irish (and Irish people are white). It's almost like the cultural identity of people up there is actually incredibly complicated, especially in the Protestant/Unionist community. Like namely the fact that they have heavy ancestry from Scottish and English settlers, which is where the Protestantism came from, and kind of where all this tension started. Probably important to know this stuff before guffawing about the situation. I'm actually kind of convinced you don't know what the Troubles were even about. Also no one cares what race they are because that's completely irrelevant. Grape fucked around with this message at 06:05 on Nov 23, 2019 |

white isn't a race it's a banner of economic imperialist superiority. this is why the japanese are white but rednecks aren't. hope this clarifies things. edit- white in that they're the main racist capitalist imperial power in the area, or at least they used to be. they've since been surpassed by china and korea economically but they retain outsized technological influence even if Korea is again eclipsing them in the social and entertainment spheres. japan is basically the britain of asia.

Once you get beyond a certain level in corporate jobs, that is the most important skill you can have. Whatever technical skills someone has, they are nearly always replaceable. Someone who is good with people that also has whatever industry specific knowledge can be harder to find. The boss sucks at power point, but that's what she has employees for.

My boyfriend spit on me for trying to wake him up from a "nap" My boyfriend (M20) and I (F19) have been together for a little over a year and a half now and I'm starting to feel like we just aren't compatible. So our sleeping schedules are ridiculously different, I sleep a normal 8-9 hours every night and he will sleep 12+ hours unless he has work which makes me feel a little lovely cause I feel like we rarely spend a full day together instead of just the afternoons. He's actually sleeping while I'm typing this cause he said he was gonna take a "nap" at 6 and its been 3 hours. I tried to wake him up two hours later and I definitely was being kinda annoying because he constantly does this when I've told him countless times I would rather he just tell me he's going to go to bed early instead of saying he's "napping" so I don't feel the need to stay up and wait for him to wake up. While I was trying to wake him up I started tickling & picking up his torso (not even in a roughhousing way at all) & he abruptly grabbed my arms a bit too harshly for my liking and started getting a huge wad of spit in his mouth. I jokingly said "I don't care I'm not letting you fall asleep on me again" he started spitting on me over and over again and I spit on him back like once and then kinda laughed and started to apologize but he just kept going all the while holding my wrists really tight until I started trying to get off of him and he immediately let me go to get off and went back to bed. I know I kind of asked for it but holy poo poo I've never been tired to the point of spitting on my significant other until they leave me alone that just seems ridiculous and hurtful. He didn't even say anything to me or explain to me he was really tired just loving straight rounds of spit in my face and on my chest. So I left the room pretty upset and took a shower and when I came back he was sound asleep. I feel really lovely and maybe I did deserve it and I'm the rear end in a top hat but holy poo poo what the gently caress just happened. TD;LR: I was being annoying trying to wake my boyfriend up from a nap and my boyfriend grabbed my wrists harshly and spit on me in response before going back to sleep

That's a guest column from the Ask a Manager woman; she's done five of them there at the cut and they're all about bad bosses but that was the one that jumped out most, the others were just "my boss is racist/sexist, what do I do" or more mundane work worries.

throwRA - my (m30) wife (f38) insults me irl and it's spilled over to social media ThrowRa account as this is embarrassing but, I am wondering how common this is or if I'm making too much out of nothing. My wife has started making digs at me, especially now that I have started to lose some hair in the front, apparently this is some kind of joke to her as I lose sleep posting about male pattern baldness help on other forums and silently freak out about my hair. She's also telling me I've put on weight, I'm 'pudgy', I have a 'beer belly' (I drink maybe once a month) my jeans are too tight now, etc, which, yes, a few months ago I had abs, they're hibernating, it's winter, honestly I don't care as much about that but - why does she? Yesterday I made the mistake of posting to instagram. Sort of a throwback pic from a few months back. Yes. I know. Kind of a lame concept. Maybe I brought this on myself. But imagine my surprise when I see my wife has left a dry, emoji-less comment that says "oh, that was back when you were in shape." For friends, family, and the whole world to see. Am I overreacting?

My (26M) girlfriend (24F) had what I believe was an emotional affair while I was in the process of buying an engagement ring. My girlfriend and I have been dating for just under 2 years and have been living together for about 15 months. Things were going great, we work in the same industry, we have great adventures together, and I thought we were a solid team, so much so that I was preparing to propose on a holiday towards the end of this year (she was heavily hinting towards a ring as well so I was pretty certain of the answer at this stage). My job over the recent period (3/4 months) has been stressful and between that and researching into buying a engagement ring alongside organising two holidays over the period (I tend to research a lot for major purchases or holidays) perhaps I have not been as present in our relationship as I should have been. By this I mean we still occasionally had dates and did things at weekends, but less frequent and instead we were spending weeknights and some weekends just relaxing spent watching TV and on our phones/laptops (with me either browsing through reddit or researching for a ring or for our holidays). Over the same period my girlfriend has been having a great time in her work as her team is very social and there are many occasions for her to go out in the evenings with work colleagues (always several people in attendance) which she enjoys and has been doing a lot more of. I am honestly glad for her in this regard and don’t begrudge her for this. A couple of weeks ago I looked through her messages (I’m not proud of my actions but I had been noticing her becoming more defensive with her phone, switching convos whenever I am around, deleting messages etc. and my thoughts got the better of me one evening while she was out). I did not see any messages to anyone in particular but I did see messages to her bestfriend talking about a guy from work. To summarise; she has been talking more and more to this guy from work (let’s say Brad) over the course a the last 6 months or so, she found Brad weirdly attractive, shared our relationship issues (which she didn’t express to me to resolve them, just used it as bait for Brad), and she was tempted to pursue “whatever it was” with Brad. This had clearly developed over a period of time of messaging, going for lunches (with other people there), dancing on nights out (all kosher as again it was with work colleagues) etc. She had even expressed this view (being tempted) to her mum who seems to have told her not to throw things away with me (she proceeded to moan about how her mum wasn’t on her side to her best friend). After reading this exchange I decide to confront her a few days later by sitting her down and saying “I know about Brad” and told her that she needed to tell me everything otherwise I wouldn’t be able to trust her. She initially twisted the story into it all being Brad and that she wasn’t interested at all, however, after some ‘trickle truthing’ over the course of 3-4 hours she told me that she had been encouraging this behaviour (e.g. by sharing our problems) and enjoyed the attention but she insists nothing physical happened (he tried to kiss her on at least one occasion but she pushed him away). The initial messages that I had read were about 6 weeks old and at some point in the interim it appears she had changed her mind and appeared to be no longer interested in Brad (Brad was older, married, and had some baggage she didn’t want to deal with it seems), to the point where just before I confronted her, she claims to have sat him down and said it had to stop and they were just friends (this was just after the attempted kiss). She wouldn’t let me read any messages between them, and she kept some facts back that I had read (like the fact she was actually tempted to pursue it and that she had told her bestfriend and mum this) but she was very apologetic and said she never thought it was anything and she didn’t want to throw us away for something so little. Ultimately I see this as emotional cheating which had been going on for at least a couple of months and I also believe there was no way she was going to tell me about this. While I believe this is no longer going on (Brad has since left where she works) I have no idea how to move on from what I see as a betrayal of my trust and I do not know if this is the girl I want to marry anymore. I understand that crushes may happen over a relationship and that couples have periods which aren’t so great, but I want to be with someone who will work as a team to overcome those issues, not someone who will look for a solution outside of the relationship while keeping something secret from their partner. I have been cheated on in my prior two relationships and I have a hard time trusting people as a result. My trust in my girlfriend is broken and I keep on questioning what she might do in the future if we ever were to go through a bad patch in the future or if ‘Brad’ had been better suited and available. Where do I go from here in terms of the relationship (engagement plans are well and truly off) and is it possible to rebuild the trust?

Normal weddings are boring. I'd much rather watch some nerds exchange Naruto headbands then do a stupid dance to an anime theme song than listen to a six minute long warbley acoustic cover of The Book of Love performed by the groom's former roommate.

Also I don't know much about Naruto but I thought even its fans didn't make a big deal out of the run unless they're literal teenagers who literally go around saying 'kawaii desu' in daily life. Is this one of those things where the memes about it being cringe caused it to become unironically popular again? Not sure if it'd be better or worse to have everyone stick to a theme or do a mixed anime wedding. At least a lot of anime girls have canon pretty dresses. Include Card Captor Sakura and you probably have the entire bridesmaids covered. But then some drunk uncle looks at the costume ideas and notices Franky...

Also, jokes aside, it's pretty recently that Irish and Italians have been fully considered 'white'. (As much as 'whiteness' is basically an idea that was invented by European imperialists to prevent the underclasses at home from realising how much they had in common with subjugated natives)

I've been laughed off, told am an a-hole and that it'll get my son bullied if I called him this. Also a big issue would be my family would have issues pronouncing it as not many speak English.
