-If you come across a cop that hasn’t seen you, do not make any sudden movements or loud noises. Leave slowly.
-If they have spotted you but haven’t engaged, back off slowly while picking up any small children or pets. Try to avoid direct eye contact.
-If the cop is coming for you, do. not. run. Put your hands up as carefully as possible while avoiding anything t that could be seen as a threatening movement or noise.
-If the cop does attack, do not resist. This will make things worse.
-As an absolute last resort, fight back but it is a losing battle.

Checks out.

I know we aren't supposed to yuck other people's yums but boy there is something about polycules that makes me into a cranky old man.

Polycules are fine. It's the dum dums that brag or complain about their polycules online that tend to be the most obnoxious.

Ironically that post was sent to me by a member of my polycule. :v: They recognized OP's username because at one point they sent my partner a message asking to be friends, which, as we are in our thirties, weirded them out so bad they never forgot the username lmao

What part of "I went to Jamaica and went out of my way to avoid trying any of the food" sounds like someone who is interested in Jamaican food?

The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.

The more people in a relationship the more opportunities for relationship drama. And when a poly grouping has drama things tend to go supercritical as every other relationship in the cluster reacts to the added stresses. Makes for very visible implosions.

They were already in Jamaica. It wouldn't have been hard for them to find Jamaican food if they wanted to. And if they didn't know what it was they could ask!

Speaking as someone who completed a home sale and purchase last month, there is nothing like the closing days of the biggest purchase of someone’s life to make them think they know The Art of the Deal. The buyers of my old condo had an inspector note problems with another units plumbing, and insisted we fix it. As in, we had to fix our neighbors plumbing to their satisfaction. We said no, and three days of silence later they close the sale anyway. Meanwhile we quibbled over the price with the new house we wanted to buy and it came down to $5k. After threatening to walk away they ended up “throwing in” a bunch of used furniture to sweeten it all and we ended up accepting. It wasn’t worth the rental and storage fees to drag it out. But of course nothing becomes a problem until you’re 72 hours away from the closing date, it seems.

When we bought our house there was a space on one of the forms to request anything we wanted them to leave. We put down pretty much everything that was still in the mostly-cleared out house, garage, yard, and barn when we viewed it. One of the few things they left was a crappy old weirdly-rainbow colored canoe, and we were like, gently caress yes! Our house has a pond, we'll gladly take the weird beat-up old rainbow canoe instead of buying a new one! Fifteen years later and we still use it.

Also, this is my cat Roger. He's dumb as a loving brick and even he knows his name isn't spelled with a d.

My(22F) boyfriend (25M) has added hotwheels into our sex life and I find it ridiculous?


quote:

We only started dating about 3 months ago, and the first time he “spiced up” things by taking a hotwheel and drove it across my breasts during pillow talk after sex. I thought it was hilarious, considering that he’s like 6’4 and built like a greed god and plays sports, I just didn’t expect him to even own a toy car, turns out, he’s got a mad collection of probably hundreds of hotwheels.

Ever since I don’t really know why, there’s always a toy car in our bed while sex, while I’m giving him oral he would drive it across my back, or when I’m on my stomach, drive it over my arse while making car noises, and he does it with passion, sometimes it’s a drag race, sometimes it’s a police chase. He’d stop when I tell him to, and goes back to normal. Sexually I am satisfied, but this whole toy shtick is starting to bother me. He has a great sense of humour and I feel like I’m not seeing the “meme” or I’m just being lame. I don’t know if men generally do this. He’s my first ever boyfriend so I don’t really know what and how to feel about this

Is this some weird American race thing, like Spanish better because considered white?

It’s absolutely a race thing and not just American - it also occurs a lot in Latin American countries. Spanish = cultured, noble European ancestry, not one of those dark savage natives, etc etc. Very much Not A Good Look whether he had any idea of what he was doing or not (and he sounds fuckin racist even if he didn’t explicitly mean it that way anyways), and honestly plenty reason enough by itself to break up with him

Like not that I have any experience with it but pretty sure if you introduce your Mexican fiancé as Spanish in just the right wrong situation, and you’re as oblivious of a racist as that dude is/was, there’s a reasonable chance of catching a few hands from a pissed off brother or cousin

Yeah, I learned about this sort of thing going on over in Brazil, and it was a big talking point back in 2020, when Pablo Matera, the Argentinian rugby player, got some old racist tweets dug up.
