There's a huge undercurrent of racist cuckoldry trolling coming from 4chan because I guess they think they're "owning" people by... posting about the (largely false) inadequacies of white men (that stem from their own insecurities)? They're trying to radicalize sexless dorks against women and minorities. Why see women as people when your relationship can only last as long as it takes for your partner to encounter one of Obama's breakdancing bodyguards from that famous SA post?

Alchenar posted:Thanks for this, not just for the laugh but because when we hear about traditions like "x must insist on paying for the meal" we very rarely hear about the nuanced set of expectations and norms behind the tradition that make it work. In my family and their extended circle of friends there are very specific mathematical rules for how many dishes/beverages/amount of soups/vegetarian dishes etc. to ensure literally everyone is taken care of appropriately*. If someone pulled the stunt mentioned in this story in my families hometown you could expect literally every single dinner involving that cousin until their tragic death as a never dated spinster would involve reminding them and their parents. *Caliber of hosting situation has different rules, obv.

What famous SA post? I have not seen that one. Also, WIBTA if I reported a family friend who outed my pregnancy to her place of work? quote:I (20F) recently found out that I’m pregnant, which came as a surprise because I’m on bc. I made an appointment with an OB that’s close to me with high ratings to confirm the pregnancy, and when I walked in I was immediately concerned because the woman behind the desk is a friend of my mom’s. They’re not super close, I hadn’t seen her in years, but they’ve known each other since high school and I know they sort of keep in touch. I didn’t feel ready to tell anyone other than my bf and obviously dr about the baby, so I was freaking out a little, but my bf assured me that she wouldn’t be able to say anything to my mom about the baby without my consent. I have spent my entire life trying very hard *not* to get people pregnant, so I have a limited scope on this one, happy to hear other opinions. Reddit is up in arms about how issa HIPAA violation, as they always do. I would think, can't you just call this lady up and tell her she's a dumb rear end in a top hat for ruining your pregnancy announcement, that your mom didn't know, it wasn't her right to tell, and if you wanted to, you could get her fired in an instant and you want a sincere apology and a fatass bridal shower gift and then call it good? She's totally in her right to pursue a complaint if she wants, I work with PHI and I would never share any of it, I get uncomfortable the few times I've come across someone I know in my work, and I'm careful to read as little as possible, but like... I dunno, feels like you could solve this one with a swift backhand without the rings.

Nah, I'm quite strong on 'at will employment' being an abomination and workers having security and protections and generally treating people generously but there are some jobs where if you can't keep your mouth shut then you need to be sacked immediately before you ruin someone else's life. She fired a bullet and by pure luck it didn't hit someone considering an abortion with a hardover religious family.

spouse posted:What famous SA post? I have not seen that one. I disagree, dumbass receptionist's "honest mistake" could have ruined this girls life; in other circumstances they could have got someone killed (what-ifs be damned, what if she'd been cheating and had a jealous/violent partner? What if she wanted to abort but family were pro life?) Telling family about someone's pregnancy is a HUGE DEAL and there's a bloody good reason some women keep it to themselves. Health worker confidentiality violations are like drunk driving, there are rules against them for very good reasons, they can ruin lives, and just because nothing bad happened *this time* doesn't mean you should let that poo poo slide.

spouse posted:What famous SA post? I have not seen that one. No this is an actual no poo poo HIPAA violation and fully deserves to be reported. It’s super dangerous to reveal medical info like that, and if she’s doing it this time she’s going to do it again. Furthermore, I believe there’s liability for the practice as a whole if the OBs office does nothing about it, so you nip it at this level immediately. Everyone has the right to medical privacy and to control who knows when. The receptionist violated this, and should suffer repercussions as is standard.

OP got pregnant despite being on birth control, so not really a 'wanted pregnancy' by the normal definition. E: actually, on second thought I think it technically is, but I think it's more complicated than if she was actively planning to become pregnant, or was just open to it happening vs. actively trying to prevent it.

Imagine marrying someone, having two kids, and never doing the due diligence of finding out whether they're so medically stupid they believe in loving ghosts and are worried about being harmed by them. While it is the classic comedy option, you really can't indulge behavior like this as it just causes idiots to demand ever more expensive monster sprays or candles that smell like Gwyneth Paltrow's gooch. Funktastic posted:AITA for being annoyed when my nephew always orders the most expensive food on the menu? "I have a nail in my head. No I will not pull the nail out of my head.

Carbon monoxide unfortunately affects normal people just as much as it does stupid people. If that were at play, OP and the kids would also be seeing strange things. I'm kind of inclined to believe occasionally his kids move the remote, they're still finding established places for stuff after moving into a new house, etc versus him ignoring CO symptoms. If he hasn't replaced the batteries in the carbon monoxide detector lately, by all means it's worth checking, but it seems to be a pretty clear case of chronic fecal encephalopathy for the wife. cumshitter posted:Engineers are truly the worst people to ever live. I don't know if the profession attracts broken people or if it's the education that shatters their mind. Either way they think they're smart like doctors, who are also stupid but at least have the excuse of having to work for years on a schedule designed by people who took cocaine all day and then heroine to fall alseep every night when you could buy miracle speedball tonics everywhere. Idiot chuds are drawn to engineering. If you knew any of the people who later became engineers when they were younger, they were always Like That. Doctors are occasionally good within their field, but are famously Bad With Money. If you look into your state's monthly newsletter of which doctors lost their licenses, it's usually not to do with malpractice, but embezzling from their practices so they can invest in crypto or dog heelies or soup tubes.

In my experience, good OBGYN clinics go hard on HIPAA violations, because statistically pregnancy is the most dangerous time of a woman's life, and not because of the pregnancy itself.

It's very attractive to people who can't handle uncertainty and need the one true answer from an authority, because that's what engineering offers. It actually crosses cultural boundaries, and a disproportionate number of Islamic extremists are engineers as well. And of course it pays well which has a well noted power to turn relatively normal people into ghouls.

teen witch posted:posting this because the comments make me want a Raytheon knife missile to the Reddit servers the high school I went to offered various like, vocational job training seals you could get on your diploma, and several different licensing paths--I got my CNA license while still enrolled in high school. we got on the job training at different assisted living facilities and hospitals in the area during our class time, and we even got shuttled by bus to take our licensing exam during the school day. our schedule was shuffled so that we essentially had our afternoons for the offsite training. it was a great opportunity; a lot of the people who completed this program went on to pursue being LPNs and RNs, and having stable work that paid marginally higher than retail and food service helped a ton with like, working through school. this was the very rural south, so not a ton of opportunities. if a freshly 18 year old kid is qualified to be a CNA prior to graduating, I think the lady with a couple more decades of lived experience is probably going to be fine too. [I only ever used my education and license to be my grandmother's end of life carer bc going thru the program caused me to realize that working as a CNA is horrible backbreaking work and I did not want to do that as a job.]

The reason I hate engineers so much as clients is because I have one engineer client who tracks his own performance and makes me check it against his math, despite me working for a bog standard investment advisor who is GIPS compliant. GIPS is short for Global Investment Performance Standards, which is what every company uses to calculate investment returns. Long story short, you basically do the math to account for deposits and withdrawals in a managed investment account to accurately calculate performance. And what does he send me every quarter? An Excel spreadsheet. Not even an Excel spreadsheet with formulas or references in it, just an Excel spreadsheet where he copies numbers into it with no calculations or functions or anything. God I hate him. Engineers are basically socially incompetent specialists who point at a blank spreadsheet while screaming "Do you see!? Do you see!?" Red Dragon style and they don't even realize the actual torture is trying to understand their genius.

The main sanitising action in dishwashers is heat. They typically run hotter than a human hand-washing the dishes would be able to stand (even with gloves). Proper hand washing is sufficient, but it is not as good since it lacks that sanitising step. OTOH it has a QA step where you review each dish to see if it's properly clean, which a dishwasher lacks. (If you want to you can add a sanitising step by rinsing dishes in dilute bleach, but that's more effort than most people want to go to)

The comments from dishwashing guy are mildly infuriating. I'll just quote him without the things he's replying to - it tells a story on its own.quote:Every American family requests a house with a dishwasher and is grossed out if shown a house without one. quote:I’m a military kid and middle class, so your assumptions are wrong. quote:You literally do have to be upper class to be “privileged.” The word is pretty stupid to begin with, but that’s what it means. quote:Whatever, I see know need to argue since I’ve lived in the US my whole life and see how things are here. quote:Yet, all the poor people I know have dishwashers since we’re in the US. They generally come with the house. quote:Lol, don’t be bitter that I’m more worldly than you. All I’ve done is state facts proving your assumptions wrong.

I’ve been without a washer for long enough that I’m just used to hand washing. I’ve been seeing a lady recently, first time I’m over there her sink is full. I look around, get some soap and an old scrubbie. She’s all what the heck. I’m like, she has no dish towels and no drying rack. Eventually she directs me to the dish washer. It’s full, I help put everything away, load it back up with dirty dishes, then have more left over so I keep scrubbing. Next time I’m over there she has actual sponges sitting around Dishwasher are good but they’re not a necessity ???????
