Midnight Voyager posted:Let's talk about how "boyfriend" styles tend to be just "loose and comfy" as if comfy clothing can't be made for women, it's gotta be something they borrowed from their boyfriends! The boyfriend nomenclature is dumb but there is something special about wearing jeans that are new to you but have already been completely broken in by someone else (perhaps even a boyfriend!). It's a special feeling that can't be easily replicated, not even if you buy the jeans 'pre-broken in'.

Here is the inverse of the moving to Ireland dude: AITA because I don't want to share my Irish culture with my American classmates? quote:My (16F) family and I recently moved from Dublin, Ireland, to a small town in the South of the United States, a real "Bible Belt" town where it seems they don't get a lot of "foreigners" like myself and my family. I recently joined the local high school as a Sophomore, or 10th grade. It's been a bit of a learning experience and I'm trying to navigate the difference between here and home. To be honest, it was not my idea to move to America but my parents both have jobs that gave them better opportunities than Dublin was offering and they decided to move out here. I find it funny how people are commiserating with the Irish kid when it kinda sounds like people are just interested in him(in annoyingly insensitive teenage ways), but the lonely and isolated American is just told to suck it up. I will say, though, you couldn't pay me enough money to move to a small town in the south. Hell, living in a small town in the north is bad enough!

AITA for giving out homemade peanut butter treats at the dog park?quote:I (23f) was visiting my elderly grandmother in her gated neighborhood. We usually would spend our time there together playing backgammon or baking, but she wasn’t feeling well this time around. I decided I would bake some of the dog treats we made when she used to have her toy poodle Scotty.

Yeah, she'll eat Anything And Everything. She's tried to commit Suicide By Chocolate once (I thought they were high enough. Turns out she apparently knows parkour), and I figured out several varieties of Blue Buffalo that were supposed to be chicken free were contaminated with it before they openly admitted to it.

I'd like, if I may, to further muddy the waters, and continue the mixed race/whiteness derail. No need to thank me. I, and my brother are mixed race, (Dad is from India and Mum is from England. They both independently moved to Australia, married and had us.) We are kinda olive skinned. The first thing all of the Indian side of our family/family friends asked when we were born was not "Are they healthy?" or even "Are they OK?" but instead "Are they fair?". Referring to our skin colour. Discrimination based on darkness of skin is rampant, and almost as bad/prevalent as discrimination based on caste. (There is an unfeasably long, ugly, and complicated list of things that Indians will find to discriminate/look down on other indians.) A long ways back there was another Aussie talking about their friend who was 1/8 Aboriginal, but was called a 'wog'. My brother and I got that too. I reckon due to the same reason, (olive complexion and foreign sounding last names.) On the last name stuff. We have a very noticably Indian last name, (as noticably Indian as Tendulkar, but way more common.) And as such are constantly getting people surprised when they learn our names. My brother's wife cops it as well. She is a kindergarten teacher, and has parents come up to her and say "When my daughter said her teacher was Mrs "Tendulkar"(not our real name), I didn't expect it to be a white woman. And on the classification of races. One of the things I always like to say is that in the old South Africa I, and my brother, would be forced to sit at the back of the bus. Despite our fair complexion. Coz in Apartheid SA there were 4 "races" White, Black, Indian and Coloured. Where Coloured included Mixed Race people. Which my brother and I are, (Indian + White). Sorry for the derail continuing ramble. I hope it wasn't too boring/aggravating.

Dogs brains are not programmed to know that they've been bred into allergies and given access to foods that can kill them, there's no way for them to know that the thing that smells or tastes good might be bad for them.

That's why I was curious, because my poison instinct is shared with rats; they're naturally suspicious and will avoid stuff that's made them sick in the past. Nobody knows they have an allergy going in but after my first encounter with it peanuts now smell completely disgusting. Any sense of "that smells good but I can't eat it" is gone.

Dogs generally aren't going to be able to do that, no. Especially considering that dog food is a homogenized mixture of meats and grains and probably sawdust that's been ground together and put into pellet or wet mush form for them to eat, and it would be pretty difficult for them to recognize the difference between a dog food with wheat or soy or chicken in it and a dog food without. Dogs are also a lot bigger than rats and less likely to be killed by a tiny bit of rotten meat or poisonous plant (all of which generally have tastes or smells strong enough to repel a dog pretty quickly after the first bite). If you didn't know it was the peanuts making you sick and your food was a big mixture of a bunch of different stuff it would be a lot harder for you to identify and reject the peanuts specifically. In the evolutionary history of dogs there's also not much reason for them to be on the lookout for allergies, those are bred into them by dog show creeps who invent things like pugs or whatever.

The only reason you should pull a 14+ year old out of school and move them to another culture is direct physical danger or completely hosed economics, like "we emigrate or we sleep under a bridge". Once your kids are that age you need to stay put until they move out. Source: me and my 6 siblings got moved from Dallas, TX to France where we knew 0 people and didn't speak the language.

They were both late teens being moved from one culture to the other. What happened is equivalent, as the actual move was the mostly the opposite. I agree, both parents suck rear end, the thing I was contrasting was Reddit's response.

Wog = All purpose slur against Greek, Italian, all Mediterranean people. I think the US equivalent would be "wop" Wog has largely been "reclaimed" by people proud of their 1st generation immigrant culture, and the way in which it has been adapted/absorbed/changed by Australia. It is rarely used maliciously these days, apart from by proper racists. BrigadierSensible fucked around with this message at 04:13 on Aug 14, 2022 |

Quackles posted:Eh? What happens? Through media and like 200 years of stuffy Western Euro/North American academia lots of people think of Greece as basically some kind of ancient aryan paradise with pillars and olives. Throw in Hollywood and you can add British accents (all this kind of applies to Rome too). Even non fash can come to this weird vision of the place, it's just so common to absorb through osmosis. Then come to find out, this extremely sunny place right next to the middle east actually has mostly tan black haired people with other common Mediterranean features? And some people just go "oh ok", and others though? Weird poo poo comes out. Like "oh I guess all the invading muslims turned them brown". Which I've also heard about Sicily and southern Italy in general. It also seems to come along with people having a childish video game idea of continents, so like Europe looks like France or whatever all the way up to the Turkish border. And then suddenly Turkey looks like Saudi Arabia.
