Chef Boyardeez Nuts posted:I think I had a stroke Did you know it’s legal in most states to pay an intellectually or physically disabled person subminimum wage (i.e. a disabled person makes the percentage of minimum/prevailing wage commensurate with their performance relative to a non disabled worker)? And that the employer can also collect state and federal tax credits for employing them? And that adult care centers are financially incentivized by performance metrics to get employment for their charges? And that the federal agency in charge of maintaining compliance with this hundred year old law (FLSA 14c) is understaffed to the point of rubber stamping every application? This man is likely unfireable.

Would love to know the ages here. He comes across like some naive 20 year old, but the woman has a teenaged daughter? My (English) girlfriend (Chinese) has said that I need to give her father £25,000 so that i can marry her/live with her. Is this standard. quote:My girlfriend of only 6 months, but i think we'll be long term, and have talked about living together, buying a house, possibility of (more) kids (she has a teenage daughter from another marriage), and also of marriage and moving to China in a few years.

AITA for not telling my mom off for calling my wife promiscuous and instead diffusing the situation in a more peaceful way?quote:My mom thinks my wife is a “promiscuous woman”. Reason is because my wife has a great body with a big rear end and likes to show it off. Posts twerk videos on IG and dresses revealing in appropriate situations and always wears something form fitting. My mom until recently never said anything explicitly about my wife, just some low under the radar remarks. Recently though my wife wore a bit of a revealing outfit for Halloween and my mom commented on it when I went to go see her. She straight up told me”Idk OP, are you sure about your wife? I saw her Halloween costume she posted. I’ll be honest I think she is a very promiscuous woman.” In response to this I told my mom”I don’t care, I love promiscuous woman.” to get her off me. Seemed to work because it made my mom uncomfortable and got her off my case.

AITA for not buying pads for my sister's best friend during her first period?quote:I (18M) was supposed to pick up my sister and her best friend (both 12F) from school and take them to ballet class. I arrived very late and they were waiting for me alone on the sideway. I saw that something was up. While they were waiting, after the school has already been closed, my sister's friend started to have her first period. I don't know almost anything about periods but the point is that there was a red stain on her skirt. My sister did not have her first period yet. OP you piece of poo poo

What kind of racist enjoys Taco Tuesday? AITA for engaging in "racist microaggressions" at work over food? I (28F) have been working at my company for three years with great reviews and no other issues until very recently. My office has about 15 people but only 7 of us are currently working in the office (the rest are working remotely). Two weeks ago, a new person (25F - will call her NP) started, also working in the office as the receptionist. We are lucky to work in a neighborhood that has a lot of great restaurants. I am a big fan of different cuisines and love getting takeout from a number of the places or even going out to eat when kkI can take enough of a break. (The company encourages people to take a full hour or even a bit more is okay, I am not slacking or leaving anyone else to do my work for me when doing this.) Because NP is the receptionist, it is normal to chat with her a bit (she initiates the conversations) when coming and going from the office. Last week, I was on my way to lunch when she asked where I was going. I said I was "craving the tandoori salmon from [restaurant]" and going to get some and would she like anything while I was out? She said no and looked upset for a minute, but I didn't think too much of it and went on my way. When I came back to the office after lunch, she asked me to stay at the front desk because she wanted to talk to me and she just came out and said that she was "horribly offended" by the way I talked about my lunch. That I was engaging in cultural appropriation and a racist microaggression by "craving" Indian food because "craving" implied I was fetishizing it. I was really shocked but apologized and said I would be more sensitive with my language. I have mostly steered clear of her since then. I even brought my lunch the next couple days and then on Monday we had a team lunch. But yesterday I decided to take advantage of the Taco Tuesday special at my favorite local Mexican place. I wasn't planning to discuss this with NP but she overheard me when I was talking to other coworkers about lunch plans during a coffee break. She marched over to me and started yelling at me about being racist and that another person's food and culture are not a marketing gimmick. Then she went and make a complaint to HR about how I am creating a hostile work environment and now I am under investigation (suspended without pay, which is the standard for people accused of such things). I should add that both NP and I are white. The Indian restaurant is owned/operated by Indian immigrants and the Mexican place is owned by a Mexican family. My other coworkers are a variety of races but not Indian or Latinx. So, AITA for enjoying foods from other cultures and from talking about it the way I did? I thought enjoying other cuisines is cultural appreciation, not appropriation, but I'm open to feedback.

Death to HOAs! AITA for losing my poo poo after the HOA prevented my disabled veteran neighbor from making NECESSARY adjustments to his house? quote:My nextdoor neighbor is a war veteran. He was medically discharged from the military. He has some sort of head trauma and has a missing leg. He is wheelchaired and going through physical therapy to learn to walk again. Obviously, he needs assitance and he needs to make modifications to the house, the main one being a ramp as the house is 5 steps up. He moved in with his sister, who owns the house. I am a housing contractor and my next door neighbor asked me to build it for like 10k or something, I told her just to pay for the materials and I'd do it for free.

HOA people actually fully believe something like a wheelchair ramp will "lower property values". They are fully insane, it's a property value cargo cult. If they read in a real-estate magazine that child bones have been linked to a possible 0.1% increase in property values they would fully start murdering children, for the greater good.

Drive him around and he will just wail pitifully the whole time. Mine was in general rather clever, but he didn't know how cupboard doors worked. He knew doorknobs on other doors, he'd leap up and grab on trying to get in, but he never pawed at the ones in the kitchen. When I opened one he'd run in to sniff at the pans, and if I missed that and closed it with him in there he'd just wait for the wall to disappear again. Never complained, even if it was hours before I realized it, he'd just be sitting there expectantly waiting when I got to him.

The real end of the HOA story is that the sister of the war veteran (i assume it is she who owns the house) will get foreclosed on by the HOA unless they bring it into compliance because her idiot contractor neighbor didn’t read the architectural guidelines of the HOA he apparently also lives in. Yelling at the meeting does nothing unless you bring your neighbors around to changing the rules (and angry yelling won’t do that). It sucks but they literally both signed up for those rules by moving there, so tough poo poo. ADA compliance is great and necessary, but not sufficient, for HOA architectural compliance, read the rules before you start building.

I get it, it’s a pain and neighbors are stupid idiots. Recently, when installing solar panels on his roof, a friend of mine had to answer a question about whether the solar panels he was installing would be yellow because they were highlighted in yellow in a line drawing, with a key saying “highlighted in yellow to note changes in drawing” or something similar. He had to tell them that no they’ll be gray and they should look at the photos of the panels, not the line drawing. These people are all idiots but you live next to them and you all signed up to live in this same hell together so your complaints are useless.
