I watermark all my (many, many) nudes with ebaumsworld.com for plausible deniability. e: jeezy creezy what a snipe My jeweler (F/40s) unwittingly engraved my mother's name on an engagement ring I (M/32) had made quote:This could almost be a Seinfeld episode. Cooler heads prevail in the comments though: quote:Okay, first of all, "nancy" Is definitely ENGRAVED and not just a watermark? have you talked to the jeweler about this? Do all of her engagement rings have her name on them? quote:good catch. Bubblyblubber fucked around with this message at 16:24 on Apr 10, 2023 |

He's definitely not smart enough for that. The cops'll tell him they have cell phone records showing he was there, and he'll immediately start making up one ridiculous lie after another until he tangles himself up so much he accidentally confesses to DUI, insurance fraud, and embezzlement.

So regarding drunky car crasher, I say let him loving twist considering this line at the end of OP's post:quote:He also has 2 domestic assault charges from physically abusing me. Not sure if that would change anything either in terms of consequences for what happened. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks. hopefully the abuser fucks it up spectacularly also WHY IS OP STILL WITH THIS CHARMING FELLOW

bucksmash posted:So regarding drunky car crasher, I say let him loving twist considering this line at the end of OP's post: Fairly insightful couple of comments from the Best of Legal Advice thread I got the OP from: quote:It's because when you are dealing with someone unstable, keeping them in your life, even at a distance, provides you a level of forewarning. If you have cut them out completely, they can do anything to you at any time. If you at least keep a line of communication open, you have the ability to know, and maybe sheer away, any bigger actions. quote:It's awful. You know they are crazy, abusive, and toxic. You know that talking to them feeds their obsession of you, but the fear of "what will they do if I cut them off" is intense. Also speculation that what OP is really asking is "how can I get this person thrown into prison so that I can disappear finally." Sorry all, this one ended up being more of a bummer than I thought.

If you tend to drink and drive or text while driving, you should keep a caged bee in your car that you can release when you get into an accident. "There was a bee" is widely accepted as a defense to fault accusations, and will even get you sympathy from victims and police if you can prove it.

Do you see how much attention the bee is giving them? Clearly the bee brought them from home! Sorry, I can't do a breathalyzer either because when the bee stung me some of the beer in its system bled into mine. That's just biology and science! I'll be going now, have a good day officer!

Probably just dirtbag anecdotes from the 60s/70s, but a friend's dad had the advice to always keep a case of beer the trunk. If you got in an accident because you were being a poo poo-head, you sit on the curb and drink those beers. If you were a good liar, you might only get arrested for public intoxication.

Growing up, some guy down the street was drunk and crashed into a utility pole in our front yard. He went home and waited a bit before calling the police and played the "I had a drink to calm my nerves" bit, which worked as they couldn't prove he was drunk at the time of the accident. Likewise, when my friend's dad and some other guy were drunk and crashed into a guard rail, they walked home from the highway and avoided a drunk driving charge because they played the "we started drinking when we got home" card, and there was no way to prove otherwise.

Hughlander posted:AITA for choosing not to pay for my daughter's university fees despite paying for her brothers? A friend of a friend's family had a somewhat similar situation - both the parents were doctors, and each of their three sons got the extremely high exam scores to get them into medical school. All three got to 3rd year and dropped out, one after another. I have no idea what happened after that, but I assume they each got old enough to realise they were their own person, not an extension of mum and dad.

I'm pretty sure that op was not an American but if we look at statistics, at least in America it makes sense to be nice to a lot of people, because maybe you told a dude you liked his shirt, and that's the only reason he decided not to kill you on a shooting spree. I remember a stupid play we did in high school, about high school kids of course, and in the play one of the students gave her teacher a love note. The teacher proceeded to proofread it and gave it back to the girl with the red marks all over it. Even as a dumb high schooler reading this play, I thought no teacher would ever be that cruel or stupid. The things we learn.

My rear end in a top hat cousin did this once. He crashed his Festiva (lol) because he was drinking and trying to open a can of chew at the same time. He nearly bit his tongue off in the crash, and grabbed all his documents and the license plate and walked about a half mile home. He didn't answer the door when the cops came by, and waited long enough so that he couldn't be charged with anything (because they didn't have any proof he was driving). Assholes get away with poo poo because they keep their mouth shut.

Yeah I saw a case where the drunk driver was deaf and so he wouldn't take the breathalyzer test because "he didn't understand what the cops wanted". Got away with it four times before finally getting convicted on the fifth time. Prosecution really had it out for him because he was obviously drunk driving all the time and was refusing to get breathalyzed when he got caught.

I mean, there's some possibility that they planned it this way for months and then waited until the last minute when everything was sold out to tell anyone because they knew they wanted a solo wedding without any stress from their insane families. We only have one side of the story here and its from someone I clearly would not want at my wedding, so I'm erring on the side of "OP's brother is smarter and more well adjusted than OP". It sounds like the people getting married have a whole plan that took a lot of thought. Smirking_Serpent posted:hold up, school applications cost $1500? welcome to 2023

edogawa rando posted:AITA for brushing off a student who confided in me something personal? I would not act the way this teacher did, and I think you're right to be repulsed by how callous it is, but I can also understand why a teacher might be terrified to go anywhere near any personal topics with students, especially trans issues. There's fucktons of people, some of whom might be that kid's parents, who are just dying to go after anyone they can who supports trans people, especially in that setting specifically. This is not just the result of a single teacher's callous attitude. This is the result of an entire society's lovely treatment of trans people. That teacher didn't sign up for that - it's not part of their job, and they aren't trained to do that, and might have any inclination towards it outside of work anyway. Yes it's tragic that a kid would get met with that response. But responding with the kind of empathy and openness that that kid deserved could open that teacher up to an existential threat to not only their current job but to their entire career and life. It's a tough situation and while I do think that even with those things in mind the teacher's response could have been a LOT better than that, I still don't think it's right to demonize them for their response. Trans people deserve to have support in society that makes it so they don't have to talk to a loving computer science teacher about what's going on with them. And teachers deserve to not be the ones put in that position. The whole situation is hosed up and tragic.

In elementary school, I found a folded up note shoved into my desk after lunch break, and it was one of those stupid do you like me, circle yes or no papers, with my classmates name signed to it. Now I didn't actually like the guy at all, he was a bully and was pretty much a jerk, but I had no idea if he had actually left the note, or if someone else had. So instead I wrote a third option, of let's talk about this at recess tomorrow. I left the note in his desk when no one else was around, and since he never talk to me about it later, I assume it was another bully trying to set up some kind of nasty prank. If you're not sure about something, and your rejection or approval might be a catalyst, the best thing to do is admit you're not sure how to help the person asking you for help, but you will certainly help them find someone who can. Take a third option, the options are rarely ever super limited to two.

In fact, these lovely don't-say-gay laws are entirely a reaction to that, and are an opportunity for fascists to hurt two groups they hate: LGBTQ+ and teachers. I think they fact that the OP has been revealed as an enormous douche by their own admissions is pretty telling.

I feel like saying a teacher didn't 'sign up' for caring for children is like saying a nurse didn't sign up for caring for patients It's literally the main part of the loving job wtf Teaching is not a job where you can just teach and leave the rest 'at the office', it's a social caretaker role.
