Dr. Video Games 0135 posted:For sure, just thought it was a good example of how older generations view relationships/marriage as some grim, joyless death march and pass those attitudes onto their kids. I worked with three guys once that basically had a running "who hates their wife the most" competition and it was so pathetic. The worst guy went to the pub every single night directly from work and then went home at 11, when his wife would pretend to sleep. He also had "girlfriends" in Cuba and Russia that he sent money to regularly. There was a new guy in the team who was engaged and they just constantly filled his head with all kinds of poo poo husbands deserve from their wives and the whole thing was so depressing that I left after about two months. Of course, this was in Ireland in 2006 so divorce had only been legal for a little more than 10 years at that point, which explains a little.

Baronjutter posted:A lot of boomers have huge chips on their shoulders that current generations aren't really feeling forced in this idea of getting married and having kids because it's what you're supposed to do. They raised 3 kids they barely tolerated and stayed with their horrible nag wife so the kids would have 2 parents and now people just... aren't!? It's jealousy.

Wow, I cannot believe my mom stooped so low...quote:My mom called my doctor and said to him "What's the most accurate measurement for weighing?" quote:My sister had to wear pants and a bra, so she enjoyed minutes of going underwater. quote:The reason for this topic to not get too confusing is that don't you guys like to see teenage girls in a tank with their hair and their body soaked and wet? quote:You want a detailed summary of what happened today? Alright, here goes: quote:My sister constantly talks about her hair. "Should I wash it?" "Should I pull my hair up or leave it down?" Stuff like that. quote:To answer you question, before my sister and I got into the tank, the doctor did a basic weight test then I got into the tank and did some breathing excerises to see how my lungs would be situated underwater. Then the doctor took the temperature of the water inside the tank. After I taken my underwater tests, I had to stick my head underwater for 8 seconds and it was done. 30 minutes its all it take. quote:About the topic title: quote:About the hair: quote:I DIDN'T ENJOY IT BECAUSE IT WAS MY DAY OFF FROM SCHOOL?! MY SISTER ENJOYED IT BECAUSE SHE HAD LITTLE ON GOING ON, WHILE I DID! quote:About the reason for the underwater test:

They didn't have to do anything that day, so he skipped taking a shower. Then, his mom arranged for this underwater test, so he lost his whole day and ended up getting wet anyway, which he did not enjoy. His sister did enjoy the test, but wanted to grab her hair behind her head so it didn't get in her face, but she was told not to do this. At least if iirc.

Bird poop training: my Amazon knows that people don't like to be pooped on and generally tries to avoid it--when she is flighted she'll just fly away to one of her perches to poo, if she's not she'll get increasingly insistent on being picked up and moved off of the person until she just gives up and poops anyway. Unless she's not flighted and she's really annoyed at sitting on someone, then she'll just poop on them, presumably out of spite.

Her whole deal was that she was extremely literal but also made extremely good cake so they forgave her for doing all that poo poo. Did you ever read that article about how some guy vandalized her Wikipedia page to say she was based on the author's Cameroonian maid, and it got cited by lazy journalists so often even the author's son who started to write the books after they died cited this despite it having no basis in reality? Like the fictitious episode summaries for "Street Sharks," it was very entertaining.

Why was this a new low or too low for the mother to do? and 2. why did he think people would be interested in some oblique description of his (presumably) teenage sister pulling her hair back and holding her breath? Actually, the sister asked if she could use a hair-tie to hold her hair back. She was told no, so instead she grabbed her hair into a ponytail held in her fist. I think the OP thought that it was the holding of the hair that she wasn't supposed to do, when actually it was probably just the use of a hair-tie. Essentially, he felt she "cheated" the test in that way.

It’s very interesting which things he states and which things he assumes are very obvious and don’t need to be stated Yeah, s'why people get pretty heavy vibes of being on the spectrum and poorly socialised, which obviously for some goons is familiar enough it can be decoded. (Which of course, from their perspective, means it's everyone else that constantly overexplains the obvious and refuses to explain important things and assumes they're universally known already)

Samantha thinks they are going through a phase and will work things out. Emma and Emily are very similar and have similar interests. Emily did try and hang with Emma and her friends, but it ended with them arguing and having to be picked up early. quote:We let the girls decide on which room they wanted.

Hellblazer187 posted:Yeah, I saw a few videos, it looks like gray trash immediately afterwards but then looks good after searing. If it doesn't work for you, I actually highly recommend a reverse sear method (long cook time in very low oven, quick sear on stove or grill) vs sous vide and it doesn't require extra equipment. It really shines with the prime beef tenderloin I make for Christmas each year but is the best way to make a steak IMO. (I'm mostly vegetarian now due to a crappy digestive system and steak is definitely not a religion for me)

Soylent Pudding posted:WIBTA For Asking My (29F) BF(28M) to Move Out? quote:The apartment smells bad. The bedsheets smells like vinegar because my BF doesn't like to wear clothes when he sleeps, sweats, and then doesn't change the sheets as often as he should so it is up to me to do it. I would change sheets every two weeks but when I left it up to him, I lasted about a month before I physically couldn't sleep because the smell was so bad. From a few pages back, and I get the impression this whole post is exaggerated for dramatic effect, but the idea of even waiting two weeks to change bedsheets kind of grosses me out. Personally I've got to wash my sheets and sleep on new ones at least twice a week, and if I were rich and could just buy unlimited, high threadcount cotton sheets I'd be changing those things every day. I guess it's one of those weird hygienic things that different people have radically different tolerances for. I've always had issues with insomnia and have a princess-and-the-pea relationship with laying down and trying to sleep, whereas there are other things that I'm way less persnickety about, but hearing stories about people's gross unwashed sheets always gets me.

Found out that my(f22) boyfriend(m23) who recently graduated with his master's has been cyberbullying a friend for not going to college [new] quote:My boyfriend (Eric) graduated with his master's in the Spring and had a party to celebrate in the summer. He's hoping to be a teacher after attaining his master's degree, and I graduated with my bachelor's recently. We've been dating for almost three years after meeting in college, but when I stumbled upon something that I bought to his attention, he made me out to be the enemy for being "untrustworthy" and "not on his side" This dude is loving crazy. I hope he doesn't treat his students like this. My (27M) girlfriend (28F) only wants boys and will not go through with any pregnancy if she finds out the child is a girl. quote:We have been dating for a year and half. We had a pregnancy scare last week. She is not pregnant. we were relieved but also slightly disappointed. We were talking about the topics of children and the subject of gender came up. I don't care about gender. My husband just spent a poo poo ton of money on himself and his dog knowing I was trying to save up so my kids could actually have a Christmas quote:I think I'm here more or less to vent than anything else.

sean10mm posted:The entire genre of stories involving a seemingly squared away wife supporting a totally parasitic manbaby who contributed nothing for years never fails to blow my mind. Like I know there's some bias I've kind of seen this happen with friends of mine (we'll call them Mary and Bill). Bill is her second husband (her first was obviously abusive I think). Both of them brought two kids to the new relationship, though IIRC neither set of kids stayed with Mary and Bill full time, so aren't really a factor in this. Mary was a teacher and working towards her Masters degree, and I honestly, in the over 16 years I've known them not ever heard of Bill having a job except in the past six months, once everything else had broken down. They had a kid together who's turned out to be pretty autistic (she's smart and verbal, but she has serious problems dealing with anything outside her comfort bubble). Bill's basically followed Mary around for 16 years when she got teaching jobs in the UAE, Germany, and finally the UK. It was understandable him not having a job in the UAE or Germany and he looked after their daughter when she wasn't in school, but when they got to the UK where he could speak the language and has a visa that allows working he still refused to even try to get a part time job or do anything apart from play computer games all day - at this point the daughter is going to school regularly so doesn't need someone in the house all day. Their relationship started to break down, and they broke up early in the covid times. Mary gave Bill something like six months to get out of their flat, and he did nothing apart from get sulkier and really stressing out the kid. This cumulated early this year when he made the world's most pathetic suicide attempt* with some pills that seemed to barely cause any reaction (he was out of hospital the next day and actually needed to be dragged out of the flat by police rather than strechered out). Another mutual friend of ours (let's call him Gary) took him in for what was supposed to be a couple of weeks whilst he got emergency housing sorted. He's been there since late spring. Gary lives in a one bedroom flat, so Bill has been camping out in his living room. After a couple of months Bill managed to get a job as a cleaner (so turns out he was capable of working after all), but is still at Gary's and has made no real moves to get out - apparently estate agents aren't replying to emails when he's trying to find a room. Gary is really nice, way too nice to kick Bill out, but he gets stressed enough at other people in his space that he's always dismissed suggestions like getting a cleaner despite having serious mobility issues. And whilst Bill started off helping around the place, I think that that's stopped because a few weeks ago Gary said something about his feet hurting from having had to do the vacuuming. Mary and Bill both originate from the states, but Mary now has an EU nationality, and Bill is here on a spousal visa. Which is going to expire at some point, and then his fantasy of staying in the UK is going to come crashing down, because whilst Mary might not be actively divorcing him, I can't see her bothering to renew his visa, and a cleaning job isn't going to make the ~35k needed to stay here. One of the causes of their breakup? Mary wanting Bill to get a job or go back into education or just something, in case something happened to her - she didn't like the idea of him being totally dependent on her, because that's the situation she found herself in with her first husband. * If he was serious they live by a high speed train line, and there's a foot bridge just there.
