Grey Cat posted:I'll eat some pretty dark chocolate but I'm not a big fan after 70% or so. Does anyone actually eat just like, raw cooking chocolate? I'm not a fan of the 100% bars usually but if you get really high quality stuff some of the 90% bars can have beautiful, complex flavors.

Halloween Jack posted:AITAH for solving my ex-girlfriend's problem without her consent? We broke up over this Whilst I personally would claim OP is Not The Arsehole. (He politely and nicely asked for a reasonable thing, and got a polite reasonable response.) I don't want to condemn the girlfriend either. I am aware that I am making some pretty big inferences here but all of them are very possible. The girlfriend is skittish around dogs at the best of times. So maybe there is some previous trauma there. i.e. she was bitten by a big angry dog when she was little. She seems to be scared of the dogs owner, and also fixated on the potential conflict/consequences. So again, maybe there are traumatic past stories of abusive large tatted up men, and nasty consequences of looking at them funny in the past. Also the whole "Don't help me /get involved without my consent." and "You are just making it difficult for me." stuff, whilst it sounds absurd the way OP tells it. It could be the result of previous escalating drama caused by well meaning outsiders. But if all went down the way OP described, she does sound like she fully over reacted and has issues that he is better being well away from now.

BrigadierSensible posted:I am aware that I am making some pretty big inferences here but all of them are very possible. Yes, but you could apply that logic to literally everything posted ITT. Like maybe the cousin's SIL reacted so strongly to the white chocolate cake due to secret past traumas. Like maybe the last dessert she ever served her late mother was a white chocolate cake, and then the mother died tragically in a car accident on her way home. You gotta take these things at face value (within reason of course), because otherwise no one would be the rear end in a top hat ever, it'd just be an unending list of past traumas.

BrigadierSensible posted:Whilst I personally would claim OP is Not The Arsehole. (He politely and nicely asked for a reasonable thing, and got a polite reasonable response.) I mean, yeah, it's easy to see that she has problems. Boyfriend solved, apparently amicably, something that was an issue for her. The way she went off though, does make it very clear that she's got a multitude of issues and problems to overcome. It's easy to say "ah yes but" and defend her, but at the end of the day, we're not the ones who have her as part of our lives. My general rule for these sorts of stories in which the other party loving goes off like that, probably due to mental illness, is "gently caress man, do you want that in your life?" And honestly, I can categorically say "nah, hell no."

While there's definitely a lot of seemingly irrational behaviour that's often because of pretty specific and sad hang-ups and trauma, there's also some people who are drama addicts who imagine or engineer hysterical conflict in every aspect of their lives.

White Chocolate is to chocolate what two buttered slices of bread put together are to a sandwich. You can argue that it has enough ingredients to technically count as a sandwich but ultimately we all know it's not.

Apparently no fat milk isn't actually milk then? Also amusingly by US standards white chocolate needs to have a higher percentage derived from the extract of cacao beans than milk chocolate does.

How much you wanna bet their precious tradition is just the blandest, most white bread poo poo imaginable? Like "then we open our presents the morning after!" It's cool if you're into that, no problem, but maybe don't be a dick to people who're not or want to do something different during the holidays.

AITA for not wanting to share my birthday with my dead twin anymore?quote:16 f here, soon to be 17 in 3 days. I was a twin. My brother died hour's after birth. He was 5 minutes older then me. I was told my mother went into deep depression, but with help got better over time. I've watched videos of my birthdays from 1-6 year old, and me sharing my birthday with my brother has started at my 1rst birthday. There's always that 5 minutes of remembrance in honor of him, and instead of having one candle on my cake there will be an extra or extras for him. For example, if I was 1 year, there will be 1 for him or if I was 2, then they would add another 2 and so on. Debatable via spoilers there.

AITA for asking my daughters friend to leave my house quote:This happened last week but I still feel very weird about it. I (40m) have a 16 yo daughter Lucy who has a friend Britt (16f). Britt has been friends with Lucy for years and has been to our house countless times. But recently she has been starting to act out in different ways. She used to be such a nice girl but these days she can be quite sarcastic and mean.

Cowslips Warren posted:AITA for asking my daughters friend to leave my house Eh, she's not banned from their house or prevented from meeting the daughter or anything, so whatever really. The girl was acting like a dick, and someone has to tell her at some point. Your friends' parents are not your friends, they're casual acquaintances at best. You owe them basic decency and respect, and that includes not making remarks of a sexual nature.

AITA for giving my son's stepdad a medical bill in a Xmas card?quote:Last month, I got a call from my ex that my 8yo son Ben was in the ER for a broken leg. I drove to the hospital and found out Ben was in surgery. His stepdad, Zack, said they were wrestling and he slipped on a plastic bag and landed on Ben's leg. seems like the kind of thing a lawyer or family judge might be interested in? AITA for teaching my kids not to take games seriously unless we are playing for money. But to be bloodthirsty if money is involved. quote:I have three kids 18, 15, and 11. I always have hated how seriously some people take games and sports. When I started teaching all of my kids how to play games like Monopoly or Jenga or whatever or even sports like baseball and rugby, I taught them that unless money is involved all games should be fun for everyone playing. AITAH for wanting the nicest bedroom at the family reunion? quote:My husbands family is extraordinarily difficult and has made their reunion really difficult for my MIL. We will be there over Christmas. There are lots of nuclear children of my MIL, spouses of the children, and grandchildren. She lays out five figures for these week long events at no cost to any member of her family. Lodging, food, activities, travel, absolutely everything is covered. In return she asked for some of her children to plan some meals/activities. After about a week with no responses, my MIL privately reached out to my husband to ask if we could plan some activities and meals because I am a planner by nature. I leaned in and proposed daily activities that ranged from “culture day” at the museum of biblical art and then science and technology museum to Christmas cookie baking competitions, and gingerbread house decorating. Enough to have at least one optional activity every day for the week. I got shut down by every other family group, my husbands siblings and their spouses. My SIL #1 is difficult to no end about her 4yo child. No added sugar or salt for her child, her child cannot be in a room with a television that’s on, absolutely no movies/tv shows media, you can’t touch or hug her kid, no photos of her kid, no alcohol around her kid, and her kid has been told that Santa isn’t real because lying is wrong. Said SIL also won’t be bringing Christmas presents for anyone. This....really sounds like literal hell on earth.

A thread favorite, but seen through an infuriating funhouse mirror Wife(28f) left me(28m) when I asked for DNA test. She wants to reconcile, but I have kinda moved on. Not sure how to proceed quote:My wife was pregnant when I asked for DNA test. I have realized now that I should have broached the conversation before getting her pregnant. She just would not see it from my perspective however much I tried. I also could have talked about it in more tactful way. But its all in the past. We separated around one month before our son was born.
