adherents of Deaf culture are weird and harmful but discussions about this are always a game of "how long does it take to realize you're just talking about eugenics" so uhh ---- My [27F] boyfriend [30M] won't accept that he can't make me orgasm.

I kind of assumed pierced baby ears was pretty typical for American girls? My mom held off on me since she has a nickel allergy and was worried I had it, too. She was right. I ended up going to a tattoo parlor when I was teen to make sure I didn't get some cheap-rear end piece of metal rammed through my lobes.

Midnight Voyager posted:very relevant when we're talking about white people who go out of their way to point out it's not a cultural thing piercing their kids without their spouse's approval. True, in the case of this AITA post, but people seem really upset at the thought of piercing a baby's ears in general, and it IS in fact a cultural thing for many people: https://www.romper.com/p/9-things-white-families-dont-understand-about-piercing-a-babys-ears-64446 I think people get knee-jerky about it, which is strange to me because it's not like it causes any damage to the kid.

exmachina posted:I think it is responsible to try not to pass on known genetic issues on to your children. There are health implications beyond just height for many of these conditions. Where is the line, though? If my family is riddled with cancer, would it be wrong of me to have a kid knowing there is a good chance they'll get cancer? Should people with mental illnesses not have kids? I mean, should NO little people have kids, like, ever? That's pretty hosed up.

I have a degenerative eye condition that's genetic and if I'd had children, I always planned to see if there was a way to make sure the child wouldn't have to deal with it, through embryo selection or something. But that's a pure negative; it's not like I've belonged to some big supportive community of people with vision loss and that's defined big parts of my life, such that I'd want a child of mine to share it, you know?:

As the resident deaf man, the capital-D Deaf people need to chill the gently caress out. Not everything is an attack on your culture, and the kids should be allowed to decide for themselves.

I ended up going to a tattoo parlor when I was teen to make sure I didn't get some cheap-rear end piece of metal rammed through my lobes. It's relatively common for white moms to take their kids to Claire's and get a crappy piercing. I got a massive, horrible infection because it turns out I react badly to the surgical steel they pierced me with, and never wore earrings again. Every girl in my class who got their ears pierced young had some bad earring story or another. I had only one classmate who had them pierced as an actual baby. Her holes drifted as she grew, so by high school, she stopped wearing earrings because they weren't even anymore. mind, this was an extremely small, white, private school class. I think you can't trust white moms drunk on gender norms in a Claire's.

AITA for grounding my daughter by not bonding with me on gardening?quote:I (47f) live with my husband and my youngest daughter (15f). My oldest daughter (20f) no longer lives with us and I feel a bit lonely, since she used to be my partner. We did everything together, we liked the same things and we were best friends. I love my youngest daughter equally, I don't have a favorite child, but it has always been difficult for me to bond with her, because we´re too different.

Should people with mental illnesses not have kids? Most of these disorders are recessive, so through genetic testing and finding out if the condition also exists in your partner's line you can reduce the odds a lot with just a little work. But I wouldn't want to go further than that.

teen witch posted:AITA for enforcing the grocery store etiquette This is pretty common in commercial behavioral psychology. People tend to go into a grocery store and peruse it clockwise. But this man is insane. There's a great book on the subject called Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion that covers this along with other tricks companies use to get you to look at their merchandise. For example, new products at CostCos and such are typically placed on or near brick flooring. People reflexively slow down when they hear the click of their cart'swheels on the floor, and this gives them more time to scope out new merchandise.

Also, the narrower the aisles, the more merchandise displays you should place in the walking path. An obstructed customer is a captive audience for marketing!

Milk's usually in the back yeah because the walk in cooler they stock it through requires it, but basically every grocery store i've been in it's at the end of the back closest to the entrance.

After a remodel at my local Safeway the self-service line was shunted down the beauty product aisle. Today we happened to spend the time waiting wondering why they picked that one. Nobody's going to be waiting and say "oh yeah I should get some hair dye." Best would of course be the candy aisle two rows down, but that's going to see a lot of other traffic to make a mess.

trickybiscuits posted:There's infections (I had one too. Don't get your ears pierced at a mall kiosk), allergies to certain metals, and also little kids tend to tug at their ears when they have an ear infection, which they tend to get a lot of, and this can rip their earlobe. I won't lie, I skimmed the piercing stuff at first and just saw them talking about piercing their double Ds and that confused me based on where the conversation started.

Yeah it's blindingly obvious she is in love with Erin. OP also goes on to comment:quote:Okay so I’ll use your comment to clarify a few things. I was much kinder to Will before he started showing up to my apartment and trying to get in with malicious intent. Unfortunately I had to cut that out for Reddit to not get mad. Also, even if the comments are right that I love Erin (two female friends can be close), I would never pursue a relationship with her while she was in another relationship or coming out of one. That’s a lovely thing to do. Your judgement is fair, though. Not cool of Will, but it sounds like she has been having an emotional affair with Erin even if she's not explicitly calling it that. So Will lost his fiance and his best friend in one go. Which doesn't excuse his behavior but it certainly explains why he's so angry and why others might view it as the OP deliberately sabotaging the engagement.

Involuntary Sparkle posted:I'm 40 and went to high school with my current close friends, we've stayed very close since we were teenagers and we are each others' chosen family. Many of us have moved 3000 miles from home, too. Maybe we're all just a weird situation? No it's perfectly normal to still have friends you went to high school with. There's just people who are really bitter about high school who think that if you ever have any friends from that time in your life then you're just a complete failure regardless of anything else that have happened.
