Private Cumshoe posted:Nothing in the post suggests she has addictive tendencies, the guy is just a freak about opiates for whatever idiosyncratic reason that shouldn't matter to anyone because he isn't her doctor or pharmacist or dom https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/prescription-drug-abuse/in-depth/how-opioid-addiction-occurs/art-20360372 quote:Anyone who takes opioids is at risk of developing addiction. Your personal history and the length of time you use opioids play a role, but it's impossible to predict who's vulnerable to eventual dependence on and abuse of these drugs. Again, this isn't to say he's not a controlling idiot, he is. The way he dealt with this, even if she actually has become an addict, is not appropriate. But just because he's overstating the risk doesn't mean that there's no risk. It being doctor prescribed and monitored doesn't mean there's less risk, it just means that if she does get addicted someone is there to hopefully help her before it becomes a real problem.

Edit: I guess I wasn't the only one thinking this. OP replied to someone: quote:My grandsons father is in the picture, he is struggling financially and consequently the poor bastard is a living corpse always at work but he makes an effort to come and drive 2 hours each way a couple days a week to see my grandson. Which is more than I can say for his mother. He also makes sure to call, FaceTime, etc, pay for my sons clothing, school supplies and trips etc. Peaceful Anarchy fucked around with this message at 06:18 on Feb 4, 2020 |

Peaceful Anarchy posted:There's nothing in the post to suggest she doesn't have addictive tendencies either, also even without "addictive tendencies" she can still get addicted. Well I hope this hypothetical future addict might get the help she may need if it comes to that, I guess. People who want to control others' opiate habits are the direct cause of the spike in overdoses in recent years btw

Smirking_Serpent posted:My wife and I have purchased some property with the intention of gifting it to my grandson when he turns 18. We have also gifted from our savings into a new bank account (in my wife’s name for the moment) a helpful amount that he will be able to use for college. If you can outright gift people property hire a financial advisor. Gifting the property ensures the grandson will retain the grandfather's cost basis. Meaning that unless he plans to live there for life he will have to pay capital gains based on the difference in purchase price between what the grandfather paid and what the grandson will eventually sell it for. Better to place it in a trust or something with instructions that the home pass to the grandson on the death of both grandparents. This will include it in the surviving spouse's estate but unless the grandparents plan to be worth more than ~$11.2 million plus inflation adjustments + annual gifts beyond the exclusion amount it will allow the grandson to save a lot of money on capital gains taxes down the line. This is unlikely; our current estate tax exclusion/Unified Credit means that less than 0.1% of all estates pay estate taxes. There's other things to consider and each person's financial situation is unique. Such as whether or not an 18 year old can cover property taxes and whether or not allowing the grandson to live there rent free while the grandparents retain ownership will constitute a gift beyond the annual $15,000 exclusion. But that's why you visit your local business hole at your nearest gay bar, where I am always inexplicably present at every hole whenever rich people are in their hour of greatest need like a Bagger Vance who sucks your dick. cumshitter fucked around with this message at 07:04 on Feb 4, 2020 |

AITA for getting my friend a strap on as a birthday gift? Uh I know this sounds weird, but hear me out. I’m (M20) friends with this guy (M21) as well as a group of others. He’s moved into our area about a year or so ago. So we were all chilling, and I asked him what he wanted for his birthday. So he told us he’d like a strap. We asked him if he was serious, and if he actually was into that, and he was like yeah yeah of course. The morning after, after the hangovers had calmed him down, and asked him if he was serious about wanting a strap. He said yes, and then basically went if you don’t get me one it’s fine just lmk. So I was like gently caress it, if my friend wants a strap on, he’s getting one. So I got him the strap-on, and he opened it in front of us, and we were giggling a little bit, and he goes what the gently caress is this? And I was like it’s the strap you asked for, and he loses it. He tells me he meant strap as in a gun and i’m an rear end in a top hat for embarrassing him in front of all our friends, and i should’ve gotten it. trying to salvage me, another friend mentions that we all thought he meant a strap on and he gets angrier. so reddit, aita for getting my friend a strap-on instead of a gun??

I am personally insulted when I see capital mismanaged by other people. All capital that is not under management is simply capital waiting to be managed. Once all capital is managed the country will be brought under management. Once the country is brought under management all sovereign banks will print money directly into CUM's coffers. Then only the cosmos remains to be managed, and any non-human species that have not developed a conception of currency will be taught how to create capital for management.

AITA for blowing up at a coworker and calling her a "stupid bitch"? So I have been at this work for a little over a year, there was this girl that came in about 5 months ago. She did not like me off the bat, literally the second day she asked me to do something that was against company policy and basically illegal. When I told her no she lost it and hated me ever since. She made the 5 months she was at my work living hell. Calling HR on me any chance she got just to waste my time, yell at me in my office knowing that cause she was friends with the boss nothing was gonna happen to her. She also one time stole my pack of cigarettes and stomped on them saying that they are "bad for me". After that the boss had enough of her and gave her a 2 week notice to leave. Today was her final day and she decided to have her last go around at me. I was just talking on the phone with my buddy when she comes in and starts yelling at me saying how I'm not "doing my job". At this point I had enough and said "Listen here you stupid bitch, you have made my work life lovely for 5 months and I've done nothing to you. So how about you get your laid off rear end out of my loving office". She started yelling and had to be escorted out of my office. Me, her and everyone who heard the whole commotion have to write our side of the events to the boss. Everyone is on my side and she's just crazy, and have my back on this. My buddies (that aren't coworkers) say that I was a bit too harsh but they just don't know how she made 5 months at work lovely AITA?

WIBTA for missing my daughter’s wedding to prepare for the bar exam? I’m a non-traditional 3L attending a law school on the East Coast. Previously, I spent about two decades working in a separate but related field, and becoming an attorney has been a long-desired career change for me. My ex and I had our daughter when I was in my late teens, and while I was able to finish my undergraduate degree, I found it incredibly challenging to juggle being a parent and a full-time student, and I opted to postpone all further education until my daughter was an adult and I could devote my full attention to my studies. My daughter and her fiance live in California, where they plan to get married, and recently announced that they’ve set their wedding date for Sunday, July 26, and put a deposit down on their venue. Unfortunately, this falls two days before I’m scheduled to take my state’s bar exam. I was not consulted about the date in advance. I asked if the date could be moved to a different weekend and was told no because it coincides with the availability of a big chunk of her fiancé’s extended family, who are traveling from out of the country, and the venue was already booked for Friday and Saturday that weekend. This creates a huge problem, because I really need to dedicate the last few days prior to the exam to studying, and I’m concerned that if I spend that Monday traveling, I’ll go into the exam the next day exhausted and run the risk of failing. I tried to explain this to my daughter, but she became very angry and upset and said if I really cared about her, I would be there. I do care about her! I do want to be there! And if it were any other weekend, I absolutely would be there. I feel absolutely terrible about the timing, and I’ve tried to come up with some compromises — I offered to fly out a few weeks beforehand to assist her with wedding planning, fly out and spend time with the two of them when they get back from their honeymoon, and Skype or FaceTime in to the rehearsal dinner, ceremony, and reception. She rejected all of these options and said I need to find a way to be physically present. But given the circumstances, I just don’t see how I can. WIBTA?

Reddit I decided to risk my livelihood to tell off a workplace rival on her literal last day on the job in a way that will professionally undermine every interaction I have with my coworkers going forward, AITA? Seriously - the person sounds awful, but taking the high road here only makes you look better. You have an office with a door, be a loving grown up.

HardDiskD posted:Strap on friend seems to have no sense of humor. Buying a gun for someone else because they couldn’t buy one themselves (as in they’re a felon or underage) is super illegal, but giving guns as gifts is permitted. However, if someone asks you to buy them a gun, you are obligated to say “you’ll shoot your eye out, kid!”

Nobody was saying there's no risk to using opiods. Suggesting that she needs to prove a total negative to justify taking medications as prescribed by her physician kinda messed up. Like, its something I'd expect the medication-stealing boyfriend to say. "I can't give you these pain pills that you need until you prove you don't have an addiction to them (by not needing them)."

AITA for yelling at my wife for being unhelpful while I took our son to the ER for a broken arm?quote:My wife (33F) is a SAHM with our son (4M) and we also have a daughter (6F) in school. Last Friday I get a frantic call from my wife around noon that our son fell off the top bunk while she wasn’t looking and now his arm looks really really swollen. quote:My first post got too long and was deleted the first time but a lot more happened in between. In total I called her more than 30 times that day. She answered 4 of those calls. She was also posting on Facebook between 3-6pm when I was still in the hospital but calling her repeatedly to have her bring our daughter home because she was getting tired and hungry. quote:She actually wasn’t panicking when I first left for the ER. She was standing in the doorway waving us off. Then when I came home later that night with my son and his little cast she was perfectly fine and laughing at some Netflix show even. While I felt like I just shaved a few years off my life from the stress. Serephina fucked around with this message at 14:41 on Feb 4, 2020 |

Yeah, I was on that guy's side until the contradictions and the obvious after-the-fact addition of a babysitter out of nowhere. Reason being is that my sister was absolutely useless when her younger daughter fell off the top of one of those plastic houses with a slide and broke her arm on the patio. She just kept yelling and crying and trying to pull on the arm while everyone else was trying to get her into the car and to the emergency room.
