See this is the other thing, like if my mother, who taught both her children how to clean and made sure we knew what we were doing, heard that I was making my wife clean up after me like that she would destroy me. My dad, who always cleans the dishes, would destroy me. Neither of them would call up my wife, who they love, and say "hey our son's a useless piece of poo poo have you considered being more womanly?"

Who the gently caress are these people?

I've noticed that when he spends more than a few hours on the computer, he gets more irritable and hyped up, which is not good for him as it causes us stress and is not a healthy behavior to carry into the real world.

Uh. That just sounds like him being a moody adolescent who's been sitting for too long.

All these stories where parents complain about not being able to handle their kids behavior without actually citing any examples of the kids doing anything egregious really trip my douche alarm. It's an issue if the kid is getting physical and out of control, but it just sounds like he's annoying the OP by being a kid.

What the heck, this isn't difficult:
- "Hey, instead of you giving me a gift, please donate to charity instead" --> Great!
- "Hey, instead of me giving you a gift, I'll donate to charity instead" --> Bad!

for everything else, but I think in the specific scenario where you're dating someone who has never purchased anything but a charity donation as a gift, the reasonable assumption is that they will buy you a charity donation as a gift if you do nothing to prompt an alternative.

Who the gently caress are these people?

People whose dads are also useless pieces of poo poo and whose mothers have been culturally conditioned to tolerate this. If it turns out your daughter-in-law is allowed to be a person, why shouldn't that be the case for you? And you know it won't be the case for you, because you've already hitched your wagon to a worthless lump, so the only thing that'll make you not hate yourself is tearing that bitch down for having the nerve to respect herself.

AITA for causing drama at a family gathering?

quote:

I (30F) have been happy single almost my whole life, but I come from a really conservative culture and all my relatives assume I'm very unhappy due to the lack of a man in my life. So a few days ago, my elder cousin was getting married and of course all the elders wanted to play matchmaker, so I was introduced to the groom's younger brother (Let's call him A). We did hit it off instantly but there wasn't any romantic inclination from both the sides.

As the wedding was coming to an end, A's mother came to talk to me and said she was very happy about our decision and can't wait to be my MIL. I was very confused because I never agreed to marriage or anything of the sort. I kept saying about how A and I were just friends and none of us intended to marry. A's mother refused to listen to me, took me and A on stage and announced to everyone that we were getting married soon.

I looked at A and understood that he didn't have any part in this. She then passed the mic to me and asked me when i would like to get married. Naturally I took the mic and said "never" and walked off the stage. In fact I could hear the audible gasps from the audience as I was walking off the stage. I left the venue as soon as I could and as I was reaching home my phone kept blowing up with calls and texts from my family.

I ignored them all until the next morning when I called my mother and she kept shouting at me about how I should've just said "soon" and respected A's mother. I didn't understand how i disrespected her but i spoke to my cousin after this and she said it's all my fault and her in laws are treating her bad for everything that happened the previous day. Now my cousin wants to cut me off and all my family members won't talk to me until I apologise. I haven't spoken to A yet, because I don't know if I should apologise or not.

So AITA for causing all this drama at my cousin's wedding? (I'm sorry if there are any grammatical or spelling mistakes, English is not my first language)

Update: So I called A and we planned to meet and sort things out. He seemed pretty cool about everything. Turns out he's been dating a woman of a different ethnicity and was going to propose to her and that's why his mother was so hellbent on getting him married to someone of the same culture. He told me I didn't need to apologise to anyone. He also said my cousin and her husband are moving out of their in laws place and getting a house of their own and A is planning to go no contact with his parents. My parents are still mad at me but I'm pretty sure they'll come around. As for my family, I cut all of them off except a few relatives who reached out to me in support. So I guess all's well and I'm going to meet A again and his girlfriend in a few days. FYI A showed me a picture of her and they're a gorgeous couple.

Wikipedia posted:

BCPL ("Basic Combined Programming Language") is a procedural, imperative, and structured programming language. Originally intended for writing compilers for other languages, BCPL is no longer in common use. However, its influence is still felt because a stripped down and syntactically changed version of BCPL, called B, was the language on which the C programming language was based.

Technically, C++ isn�t a successor to C, it�s an increment of the same language. Hence the name.
