ApplesandOranges posted:Should I end it with a weeaboo? Unless the weeb is exceptionally tall, he's not gonna "tower" over anyone in Japan. The average height for adult men in Japan is 170-something centimetres, only a couple of percent shorter than the average American man. It was broadly true that the Japanese were significantly shorter like a century ago or something, but that was also because of stunted growth due to childhood malnutrition, which is just not a thing in Japan in the year 2024. What a shock that a weeb harbours old racial stereotypes!

MagusofStars posted:I wonder how she'd describe the argument from her side, because his CliffNotes version of "I think religion can help building communities, she thinks young people are too busy to do so" isn't even REMOTELY enough to cause a friendship-ending rift. poo poo, that's a discussion that religions themselves have internally all the time, dating back decades if not centuries. "I think Christianity has a place in community-building" and he thinks he gets to unilaterally dictate the terms upon which another person is allowed to stop speaking with him. Whatever it was I bet it was (1) extremely Christian-specific and religion-is-required, not in any way a vague 'religion can be a positive in helping build communities' sort of thing, and (2) just as a side bonus, probably also some kind of phobic

AITA for telling my parents they can't make me invite friends over?quote:I (16m) don't invite my friends over to my house anymore. It's been just over a year and my parents are only really noticing that I just outright stopped. The reason for me stopping is my younger sister (12f). She's on the spectrum and talks a lot. You can't have a conversation with her, she doesn't do well with that and her social skills are really bad, you just have to listen. But she can talk for hours without stopping and her special interests are always her topic. It's too much to listen to non-stop but stopping her makes her upset. She would come into my room or into the game room when I had friends over and talk. It meant we couldn't talk to each other without talking over her and it bored them and made them uncomfortable because they witnessed how upset she'd get when I asked her gently to stop talking or tried changing the subject and told her we needed to talk about other stuff.

dang out teenage daughter isn't getting enough social time. rather than work with her and the other special needs groups, why not foist her on her brother. clearly a gaggle of teenage boys will be an endless reservoir of patience and kindness. parents bad, teenage son struggling and can't be the parent his won't.

Lottery of Babylon posted:AITA for insisting that a closed friendship breakup happened over the phone instead of over text? Even if he was completely reasonable in the argument and she's being wildly unreasonable in her response, "have a formal friend breakup or I'm not friends with you anymore" is still hilarious. And I'm pretty sure the guy arguing in favor of religion who has being a convert as part of his identity and insisting that someone follow a specific resignation process to stop being friends with him was not actually being completely reasonable in the argument that involved religion. Also people misusing 'boundaries' like he does is a huge red flag for 'this person is manipulative' to me. His "you can only stop talking to me if you follow this process" is not a boundary, it's a rule he's trying to get someone else to follow, while her "if you're going to set ultimatums, I am not going to communicate with you any more" is an example of setting a boundary and enforcing it.

AITAH for skipping my dad's retirement party because my mom asked me not to bring my son.quote:My wife (30) and I (42) have two children (15M,2F). I met my wife when she was a student in a trades program I used to teach at. She was 20 and working her rear end off to support herself and her son. I helped her with her studies and when she left school I wished her well. She returned for her second and then third year of instruction. I literally watched her go from someone that was just barely an adult to a truly competent tradesperson. I helped her get a job with a company that trusts me to give recommendations for employees that have a future.

It's always rough when parents outright force a kid to be a social crutch for a neurodivergent sibling. It never works and the parents never seem to learn, but it sure as gently caress does destroy any possibility of a positive family relationship.mystes posted:Incredible that people keep doing this poo poo The comments have some interesting conversation; on top of the Disney brained people expecting the happy reunion, I get creepy vibes from the ex-fiance insisting on her forgiving a man who has done nothing to earn it- and as the comments mention, abusers enable abusers. While the story's suspiciously dramatic it does seem a likely thread with people who expect their partner to forgive their lovely parents and relatives also expect the partner to put up with their own shittiness.

Indecisive posted:what if you have to drive 3 hours to get to the airport so you'd have to get up at 2am instead of 5 This. We flew out to Hawaii last year for our anniversary; 12 hours in the air, not including layovers. So, avoiding an early flight would have just prolonged the travel. We live several hours from the nearest major metropolitan hub and our flight out was at 6 am. And long term parking at the airport is significantly expensive when it's not being reimbursed. So, the Husband found a hotel with a shuttle to the airport and a fenced in parking lot that offered a "sleep and fly" deal. We were able to get a few hours of sleep, get up and moving by 3:30 for the first shuttle to the airport, and not have to worry about the car. Totally worth it.
