How do you not know about mosh pits? I've never been to a punk show but I know what mosh pits are because of cultural osmosis. I don't even know how you couldn't.

Apparently, Augustus decorated his home with the bones of dinosaurs and wooly mammoths and stuff:https://www.forbes.com/sites/drsarahbond/2016/06/29/roman-emperors-monster-bones-and-the-early-history-of-fossil-hunting/ posted:The imperial biographer Suetonius notes that in Augustus’ vacation house on the island of Capri, he preferred displaying rare antiquities over opulent decorations. The emperor displayed what he believed were the huge limbs of sea monsters and wild beasts for his guests to marvel at. Some thought they were the bones of giants.

Solovey posted:no amount of cultural osmosis could have prepared me for the first time i got caught up in a real mosh pit This one time I saw Metallica when they played at a salesForce shindig (apparently the SF ceo and the band are friends or something). The band ended up releasing tickets to their fans and a bunch of us got in to see them, while having nothing to do with the company. Metallica is about to hit the stage and there’s a mob of about fifty Metallica fans standing towards the back and you know there’s going to be a huge surge as the band kicks off. Standing in the middle of the floor were a stunning woman in a sheath dress and heels and her partner who was all duded up nice and was holding an iPad overhead to film the stage. Predicting the inevitable, I walked over to this couple and told them they should move because they are at ground zero when it all kicks off. They ignored me and sure enough, the band starts to play, the Metallica fans surge forward, and SalesForce employees get knocked rear end over teakettle as the pit opens up. It’s quite possible this girl knew what was about to happen (due to cultural osmosis or otherwise) but was just being stubborn and decided to stay where she was “in support”.

AITA for drawing attention to my sister's much younger new husband? My (21M) older sister (35F) eloped with a widower earlier this year and since she has no social media the only way to keep tabs on her is direct contact. I met him for the first time last week for the holiday and was taken back by how incredibly young he is. Turns out he turned 24 on the 23rd of December, so two days before meeting him. My self and my parents were shocked when my sister showed up heavily pregnant with a very young-looking guy and a five-year-old stepdaughter already calling her "mom." I guess I was under the impression he was older based on the way she'd spoken about him, that he owns a home, has a masters in engineering, and he's already been married and widowed. The night started off awkward, but everything smoothed out by dinner. It wasn't until my new BIL revealed that he and my sister have been together for three and a half years and that he was so happy to finally meet us, that I couldn't keep my mouth shut any longer. I pulled my sister aside after dinner and tried to talk to her about their age difference. I tried not to be confrontational, but I asked her why would start dating a 20-year-old when she was already in her 30's. I commented on how surprised I was at how young he is, and that it was kind of weird for me that she was dating someone my age. I didn't say anything negative per se, just that it was incredibly shocking. She said it wasn't something she wanted to discuss during the holidays and to just leave it be. I told her I was hurt that she never told me she was dating someone, and that we've always been close. My brothers (25M and 17M) also tried confronting our sister and her husband about the age difference that night because my new BIL ended up incredibly defensive. He felt the need to explain to everyone that he was already a father and a husband by the time he was 19, that he had a career, that he didn't appreciate us 'hassling' his wife, and to just drop it. When I chimed in to say it's just because we were surprised, not because we're angry or think poorly of our sister, that it's just weird that she's dating a guy basically our age when we've always thought of her as so much older. My sister interrupted and once again reiterated that "this is not the place to have this discussion." I agreed, and we ended up playing board games for the rest of the night and opening gifts. My sister and BIL still don't want to engage in discussions about their age difference and have shut down any conversation other family members have started about it. AITA asking about it and voicing that it is weird that my sister is dating someone so young?

Mom [44F] got me [16M] sweatpants for Xmas and we’re discussing my dick printquote:She heard gray Nike joggers are in style and got me a pair. I said they were great but she insisted I try them on in case she had to return them. We both agreed that they’re way too revealing in the crotch. The problem is my flaccid penis pokes straight out - it’s too short (<2 inches) to hang down. Mom [44F] thinks I [16M] may have a micropenis quote:This is an update, the original post was "Mom [44F] got me [16M] sweatpants for Xmas and we’re discussing my dick print" https://www.reddit.com/r/relationship_advice/comments/egl8gf/mom_44f_got_me_16m_sweatpants_for_xmas_and_were/

feedmegin posted:Is it the ch in 'loch' in the Scottish sense? Its different. It’s the same shape you make with your tongue when you day an “L” sound, but you make a fricative noise out the sides of your tongue. You should feel the air hitting your teeth on either side of the tongue rather than passing over the tip of your tongue, as the tip is held against the roof of your mouth like in a normal L sound. It is unvoiced fricative (like an S sound or th in “forth” but not th in “there”), so don’t actually “say” L while you do it, all the noise comes from the fricative. In the Scottish loch ch sound you push the back of your tongue against the roof of your mouth. EIDE Van Hagar fucked around with this message at 21:51 on Jan 1, 2020 |

OP and the other siblings do not have real problems to give such a gently caress. Yeah it's weird. Yeah your sister should have told you. No you don't need to make it an issue right then and there you stupid busybody fucks. Get to know the guy, talk with your sister later, and if it seems to be functional then move on and mind your own loving business.

AITA for pretending not to recognize someone trying to apologize? In high school a girl ("Kimmy") I [F30s] was best friends with turned on me freshman year and became my worst nightmare. She was a cold and cruel bully and everything we ever shared when we had been friends was ammo for her to use against me, including deeply personal things about me. If I wasn't being bullied I was ostracized. By the time I was a junior I was a depressed wreck of a person and could barely function. I transferred to a new school, moved away, and got therapy. I finally learned to love myself and have had a great life since then. Recently I was back in that town for the first time in thirteen years. I've not seen or spoken to anyone I went to that first school with since I left. One of my friends was getting married in that old town and I stopped by the grocery store to stock up for our week-long stay. I was nearing the end of my shopping when I heard someone calling my name. It was Kimmy. She was still just as beautiful, looked exactly the same, just a little older, like I do. She came up to me and told me she had been trying for some time to find me, that she wanted to apologize for how she treated me in high School. She said shortly after I left school she began to realize what an awful person she'd be to me and the effect her actions had. She said that she got some therapy herself and had been trying to find me to apologize. She admitted to everything she did to me, the pain she caused me, and then asked if I could find it in my heart to forgive her. Now, I'm all about forgiveness but this girl did things to my mental health that still cause effects to this day. I remain in therapy, though it's been a decade and a half. She's the one person I don't think I can ever forgive. I know that's not healthy but somethings are unforgivable. So told her, "that's great and all but are you sure that was me? I don't remember you. Did you go to [private school]?" Kimmy looked as though I'd destroyed her and insisted I remembered her, that we had been best friends in middle school. I told her, "I'm sorry but I just don't remember you. Middle school was a long time ago. Anyway, I've gotta run, my husband and baby are waiting for me. Happy Holidays!" I'll never forget the look on her face as I walked away, she was absolutely crushed. And honestly, I felt vindicated and since then I've been experience better mental health than usual. It seriously felt like a weight had been lifted. But when I told my husband he said that while he understood why I did it it was still a jerk move because Kimmy has the right to apologize, which takes a lot of guts. I don't have to accept but I could have at least acknowledged her and maybe given her the ability to move on. I don't know, it felt pretty drat good but his words echo in my mind. Was I an rear end in a top hat? ETA: popular consensus seems to judge me as an rear end in a top hat. I accept that judgement and I am ultimately ok with being an rear end in a top hat. Somethings are unforgivable and some people don't deserve forgiveness. I don't know what this woman has gone through since we last spoke, and frankly, I don't care. She could have become the successor to the Dalai Lama for all I care. The impressions we leave on people will stay for the rest of a lifetime. It's not worth saying she was a kid and kids make mistakes because not every kid is a bully. So, while I 100% accept that I'm a bully, and have no argument there, I'm cool with being an rear end in a top hat. At least I own up to it.

It's cold and even petty, but sometimes that's what you've reaped and that's what you sow. Maybe in 10 more years it would have been fine, but it's still not fine, and that's ok.

"You forgive the other person for their sake, not yours" and "Holding onto anger and pain is like drinking poison and expecting your tormenter to die" These saying are so ancient I'm pretty sure they predate Rome. ---- Eventually yeah, she should let go and forgive. She's clearly not ready and is under no obligation to. Not doing so and being petty about posting her moment of triumph absolutely makes her an rear end in a top hat. She's not a bully for being spiteful, and her tormentor definitely deserves the pain. All of these things can be simultaneously true and more.

AITA for refusing to give "back" a gift that my boyfriend's daughter (13) had already refused to accept? My boyfriend (37M) has two daughters. A 10 year old and a 13 year old. We've been dating for about 3 years now. I get along well with the younger daughter and she and I'm kind of like a big sister/auntie to her. The older daughter does not like me and makes it clear that she would rather her father not date me (or anyone else from what I gather). Boyfriend and his ex share custody and this year, since my boyfriend had them for Christmas, I got them both presents (got them both necklaces). 10 year old was very excited and happy with her gift. 13 year old got huffy and said she didn't want anything from me and refused to "accept" the gift. 10 year old also opened 13 year old's gift after she refused to accept it and I could tell that she did like what I'd got her. I decided to keep it for myself. Fast forward to today, 13 year old calls and she wants the necklace. She didn't apologise for her rude behaviour from before or anything (which I honestly don't care too much about). She asked me to give it to her since it's "hers" and "you already bought it". I told her that it wasn't hers since she refused to accept the gift and that I'm not going to give it "back" to her. She got upset and complained to my boyfriend who told her it was up to me whether or not I wanted to give her the gift anymore. Am I being too harsh on her? My sister thinks I'm just making my own life more difficult by not just giving it to her. Is it petty of me? AITA for refusing to give a gift that I did buy for her?

Yeah that's definitely a case of "lose the battle to win the war" like yeah you should be able to hold firm and say to the kid "that's not how gifts work after you refuse them" but you can't in this kind-of dynamic.
