Jabor posted:I don't know what cars you're driving but in my car, if you move the steering wheel, that pretty much instantly affects the direction the car is moving. If you're not holding it precisely then you'll be constantly drifting out of your lane and having to correct it. Different definitions of “precise” I think.

Is my (27M) girlfriend (23F) lying about her daughter being placed in a foster home?quote:So I’ve been with my girlfriend for about a couple months now. At the very start she told me about how she has a daughter. I had no problem with her having a child since I’ve always been really good with kids. Then she told me how she actually has zero custody of her because she had her at an extremely young age (I’m talking early teens). Her and her family thought she wasn’t ready for that kind of step in her life since she was extremely young and still in school. She told me how her daughter was in foster care for about a year before her aunt and uncle were finally able to adopt her and keep her in the family so my girlfriend could still see her and spend time with her occasionally. Even before the impossibly compressed timeline and the "un-un-adoption" later, the claim that aunt and uncle were able to give up their legal child to the foster system so that they could foster some other kids seems obviously false?

Wife and I are phasing out our nissan leaf in favour of our electric cargo bikes. I can get a full weeks shop and a sack of cat litter home just the same and it's even cheaper than the incredibly frugal car. It's been a really nice thing for our relationship too, spending more time keeping healthy and exploring on the bikes.

idk why being "more in control of the car" matters at all when you're going to be spending 90% of your time in bumper-to-bumper traffic wishing to christ that the clutch pedal wasn't so stiff. at least that's what my commute in a manual transmission car was like. maybe OP's bf is going to drive on all the nice empty roads in the UK, like the one on the way to hogwart's next to the train tracks

An unforeseen consequence of a lack of sexual education is that some are left to masturbate as though it were a manual transmission.

Some decades ago manuals were meaningfully more fuel-efficient than automatics. I drove one for this reason. It is no longer true.

AITA for not wanting my sick stepdaughter to get whatever she wants cause it's not fair to my kidsquote:My husband (m 35) has a daughter from a previous relationship. Her mom gave up her rights so it was just him and his daughter so they've always been close. After 3 years of dating, we got married and had twins (4, a boy and a girl). quote:Don't people pretty much always survive... Like I know its difficult but shell eventually be okay

I used to drive a manual, I enjoyed the whole process of driving and the feeling that I was in full control. Now I just want to get where I’m going with as little extraneous bullshit as possible.

quote:Don't people pretty much always survive... Like I know its difficult but shell eventually be okay Hold on let me ask my dad how the leukaemia is working out o wait lol EDIT: if a little AITA from inside the thread isn't cool I'll drop this but it's a real low stakes one. TW talk of abdominal surgery and gynecology. AITA for quieting some med students in a restaurant because they were talking about surgery? I'm (38/goon) literally just sitting in a restaurant at a hotel, my wife (36/rockin) is all snorkeled out and asleep in our room and my stoned fat rear end wanted a cake and a cocktail after all the swimming and poo poo we did today. I was browsing the schadenfreude thread and having a sensible chuckle when a table over, some Apparently Med Students, a guy and two girls, started talking at American volume levels about which surgery they want to specialise in and started going into detailed comparisons of the c-sections they had witnessed. "Oh wow they just throw the organs up on the chest!? That's wild. At the one I saw they just punched her organs up into the body cavity so they can drag out the placenta." I was one of only a few tables in range and it's possible no-one else heard but it's a quiet place. I had luckily finished my chocolate cake before they started talking about endoscopic cyst removal. I'm not really squeamish but it would have been really off-putting to hear that. I caught a natural lull between stories and just said, at about their volume level*, "Guys I have a strong stomach so don't worry but maybe think about what you discuss in eateries, I was just trying to read the internet and not trying to evesdrop" In as friendly a tone as I could. They sort of laughed and looked embarrassed and the guy thanked me for letting them know but I got the impression that I kinda pissed in their chips and they were very quiet for a few minutes. I feel bad because they were having a great time discussing it and clearly passionate and interested students. Technically I could have let it slide and not said a word and they'd have probably had a better night but I figured I just saved someone else down the line from barfing up their fish tacos. I crave goon judgement. ReelBigLizard fucked around with this message at 03:08 on Mar 3, 2023 |

The med students were just talking about their work, which happens when basically anybody with the same profession gets together for a meal. But it's also pretty fair to not want to overhear that kind of stuff while you're eating so it seems fine to ask them to keep it down.

Barudak posted:Buy an electric and kill this tedious conversation about a dying technology I like driving, didn't learn manual until my 30s, but found I liked it even more. They used to price manual cars quite a bit cheaper for a long time so it used to be a good way to stretch your dollar. Seems like those days are over now, and it's something of a premium option for weirdos that like it. My wife and kids can't drive stick, so buying a car that has it would be a non-starter, and I'm ok with that. Once my YouTube channel takes off and I can get a fourth car, maybe that will be in the cards, but it still might be an rear end in a top hat move because cars tend to break down at the worst times.

Barudak posted:Similar thing happened to two women I went to college with. They were together all the time, very clearly deeply physically and emotionally affectionate, lived together during college then moved in together after college, shared all bills and named each other beneficiaries on their life insurance. I mean this coming from a older lesbian goon, but....I had no idea, growing up, that lesbians were ever a thing. Man and woman got married and had sex and had kids. The first gay person I ever heard of was Elton John, and the jokes were mostly "how did we miss it, the dude dresses insane!" so I figured most dudes who dressed up were gay, and gay men liked gay men. Easy enough. Then Melissa Etheridge came out, and I was a little confused, because I didn't like any guys, but wasn't aware there were other options. But the big thing about her was that she broke up a marriage to get the wife, so clearly gay men were okay but gay women were predators. Look this was in an age before the Internet, or at least where you couldn't look something up because everything was AOL chat. Some time later, I think by the time Ellen came out, I had a better idea of this poo poo. But I still was of the mindset that since I didn't like girls, I wasn't a lesbian, I just didn't like guys. Of course there were no out/gay kids in my high school, and the only lesbian had been arrested for stalking her ex. I did have a crush on a classmate, but her family was super religious and yanked her out of school, so that was it. Fast forward to college and suddenly there were gay couples, lesbian couples, a gay-straight alliance club. Suddenly there was proof it wasn't just Hollywood. AITA for not accepting my husband’s reaction toward my pregnancy announcement quote:My husband and I have been married for 4 years, and we been trying for a baby for almost 6 months. Last night I found out that I’m finally pregnant, I was super excited and immediately told my husband.

ReelBigLizard posted:AITA for quieting some med students in a restaurant because they were talking about surgery? MagusofStars posted:NAH. Honestly I'd go a little further. I don't think they're terrible people or anything, I 100% get being hyped to talk about your work with other folks in the same area. But I'd say a big part of professionalism is learning when it's something obviously sensitive enough that a large number of people are not going to be comfortable being randomly exposed to it in a public setting, something they apparently haven't learned yet.

MagusofStars posted:NAH. I get this but I still feel like a scold because I wasn't *that* bothered personally and I was thinking about getting back to our room and really no-one was hurt here. Edit: ^^^^ good point Edit 2: my wife woke up to say I'm NTA because while she could stomach it now her experience of getting a hysterectomy some years ago means she might have at some points found it triggering to even hear it mentioned and she'd have been less kind than I was.

AITA for saying no to my boyfriend’s adult daughter moving in with me?quote:I (41F) have been in a relationship with my boyfriend (43 M) for 5 years. We both have children from previous relationships. His oldest is 20, mine is 9. His oldest lives with her mother and she and her mother are fed up with the situation. 20 year old is supposed to be working and attending class as per the terms of her continuing to live there, but only recently got a job and has missed a lot of school. 20 year old wants to stay out all night partying and does not want to follow the rules or treat her mother respectfully. Her mother is at her whits end between the added burden on her finances and the disruption to her household and the younger siblings. I could write a really long novel about all the things that have transpired. oh by the way, my kid's mom can't take any more of her poo poo so it's your job to deal with her now. anyway, cya

A NEW FOOD CONUNDRUM APPROACHES AITA for buying lower grade steaks when my in-laws visit and serving my mom and dad Wagyu. quote:My wife and I live far away from both of our sets of parents. We visit them a couple of times a year and they visit us about the same. I can see the complaint about not acting the same way on both sides, but it would definitely rub me the wrong way to get a pricier food and then cook it in a way that's just gonna bring it back down to the same level as less expensive stuff.

In a way he is treating them the same: giving them what they want. The price difference issue could be solved without wasting good beef by buying her parents the cheap steaks they want, then taking the difference in price between the good steak and the cheap steak and ceremonially burning that money on the grill.
