I hear you, and I considered this, but at the admitted risk of stereotyping this guy I guessed that when he says threesome he means “I get two chicks at the same time” and not “you get double-stuffed”.

E: unless his plan is to invite another guy into the picture and have him get her pregnant so he can leave

my read of the guy is that when he says he wants sex acts before they have kids he was not saying he thought the sex acts would cause the pregnancy ,he just wanted to be paid in sex acts of his choice in a tit-for-tat manuever? why does it even matter whether you can get knocked up in a threesome?

Also I want to deck everyone saying it's "low class" to air your poo poo on Facebook, how she should have been a "better person", how she's an rear end in a top hat for hosting a family get-together and not inviting all family, how she should have done it in private, how inviting her and showing her how nice and normal they are could change her life, etc. They're getting downvoted to poo poo, and they deserve it, but I hate every last one of them all the same.

Shower beer with the Kindle app on any modern phone is the life. Just don't put the phone under the water stream, they're rated pretty high for water resistance. As a bonus, your entire body stays warm from the steam rather than parts being cold by being immersed in rapidly cooling water.
I'll admit I do miss the days when I wasn't too tall for modern American bath tubs.

okay, who's ready to get mad?

AITA for “ruining” my brothers book?

quote:

Okay so my (21F) brother (18M) has a collection of books, he has been collecting since he was around 10, he reads almost every day and has 2 large bookshelves in his room. I’ve recently started trying to read more and I saw a book recommendation online, I noticed my brother reading the same book a few days earlier and instead of buying one online I thought I’d just ask him if I could borrow his, he said he’d finished reading it and to go ahead but just return it when I’m finished. There was no problem with this on either end. Anyways I was reading the book in the living room, my brother came in, no problem. I folded the paper over to keep the page and as I was doing that he looked over and started shouting at me for bending the page, he grabbed the book from me and stormed upstairs and slammed his door, I followed him up to see why it was such a big problem but he continued to scream at me for “ruining” his books, I’ve always done that with books and I don’t understand why it’s bad, I get that he likes his books but jeez.

Just dogearing? Not snapping the spine? Wouldn't normally be a problem but it's a matter of personal preference. Because they are siblings my judgment is that she should buy her own copy of the book and a jar of booklice online and sprinkle them in his shelves when he's out.

Absolutely not, no. Use a bookmark, or something to stand in as a bookmark.


Also, most Japanese paperbacks come with a thin ribbon built into the spine, which acts as a bookmark, like you can see with my copy of No Longer Human. This sort of thing should be normalised elsewhere.

I use the receipt as a bookmark. Otherwise I dogear the book. Who cares? Oh no, a bit of the whitespace has a crease!

It's a mass-printed book and after I read it, it'll likely sit on the shelf until I move house, then it'll sit in a packing box for a year, then back on a new shelf if I didn't donate it already.

I remove the cover paper (or dust jacket as silly anglos call it - it's not made of dust at all, nor does it protect the book from dust in any way!) when I read books. They look pristine on my shelf.
