Nothing too spicy here, but I got a good guffaw at the spoilered part. The first post was just him sending flowers after talking to her on the phone. [UPDATE] A client(23/24M) sent flowers and chocolate for me(19F) to my work. I’m not sure how to respond or what’s appropriate quote:So it was indeed a romantic gesture. I come in later for work and he had left a message asking me to a local flower garden show.

In which case, OP should absolutely be sharing. Because loving hell, you can absolutely do IVF if you and your partner are carriers - in fact, it's recommended that you do so, so that you can avoid having a baby who will live about a year and a half before starting a slow, painful death. But the process will screen out any embryos that would develop into a Tay-Sachs baby, and they might even suggest editing to ensure the baby isn't a carrier. Which means that this couple is at minimum, just not taking basic steps to try and avoid murdering their baby with their own genes. In fact, they're actively avoiding those steps.

Not really looking to cast judgement since this poo poo is so dumb and petty on both sides, but how does OP know her friend has "over 20k in her account"? Also, what is up with these nickel and diming people? Most people I know practically trip over eachother to pay the bill at the bar or whatever.

A Wizard of Goatse posted:She's being super coy about any specifics so it's almost certainly the nazi thing. If she was mad about some kind of actual bigotry she'd talk about that instead of trying to make their point of dispute some kind of loving riddle Pretty much, no one except the nazis and maybe terminal centrists is that vague about thorny subjects. Mind you, 'the mainstream media is lying' is pretty much every single end of the political compass except dead centre. And this is not a compliment to the centre.

Yeah this is what seemed like the craziest thing to me, with a lot of those genetic disorders there are ways to prevent children from inheriting them, and the fact that they seem to be going out of their way to use methods that will result in dead children is horrific.

one time in college for a year i somehow found myself living in a house with four guys in the same frat (that i was not in) and it was a frat that had a reputation on campus for being the extremely problematic one (rapey, lots of racial stuff, etc) they swore up and down that that was the old frat and they're distancing themselves from it and everyone's trying to show people that it's cool now and honestly they were pretty okay guys so i believed them and then once i heard one of them say "drat dude she's pretty hot for a black girl" and i was like oh okay anyway the guy that said that really wanted to join the improv team that i was on and i told the people running it about that conversation and they wouldn't let him join lmao "yes and" that you bitch

I say this as someone whose family has a lot of Second City connections.

There's a reason that 'bro' and 'frat boy' has become an insult that basically everyone calls their bitterest ideological enemies.

she might not have known any better and someone asked her what Milly stands for and she just told them or something idk it's a terrible name but if she goes by Milly it's probably fine, that's a good nickname or she could be cool and go by Dred

Old lady names are the new trend in naming kids.

It’s not a new trend. Girls names are more cyclical and prone to fashion effects than boys’ but they share this cyclical nature. All those old Mildreds were once little girls too, the name was fashionable, until it wasn’t, they grew old and maybe now is the time for the name to bloom again. The guy is an rear end in a top hat, no doubt about it, but it’s not because he doesn’t like her name. It’s because he’s thick as a wall and so intent on defending his weird take of “if I can’t understand why she’s upset then it makes no sense and I’m not the AH”

Smirking_Serpent posted:AITA for invoicing my friend for 121 bucks after she pestered me for 17? If OP hadn’t mentioned their friend is single, I would swear this was my husband’s former band mate. She once did this to him, over $4, in cash, on the way to a gig, where there were no in-network ATMs around. Which means she demanded that he not only give her $4, but that he pay $3 for the privilege of doing so. And before you say that he should have refused, remember that they were going onstage in half an hour, and she absolutely would have thrown a gig-ruining tantrum. She also recently showed up to a group dinner while covid-positive without telling anyone. It was only after she was in the car on their way home that she sent a group message claiming that her dr’s office had just called her (at 10:00 pm on a Sunday) to tell her she had it.
