really a modern day Louis from Louis and Clark, I bet he had no snacks or water even for this harrowing journey of 2 blocks in the summer.

I thought that dude posting his tantrum about having to walk a whole two blocks had to be a heavy-handed pisstake of AITA, but he's deleted the OP and his account so it might actually be real?

It could have been unlit, unshouldered rural 50mph road which would have been lovely, but still not something to get wound up over. But in that case i wouldn't expect it to be measured in blocks. kimbo305 fucked around with this message at 13:24 on Aug 30, 2023 |

well, the size of a block varies from place to place, but you can tell homeboy walked less than a mile because he'd have used miles instead of blocks if so

If it was 2 Chicago blocks he probably got murdered at least 6 times before he got home according to some of my rural families measurement units.

Why are there so many straight guys who can't even wash their own rear end, you're willing to throw away your relationship over something that takes a few minutes tops and tremendously helps your health? Stopped having sex b/c my s.o has poor hygiene quote:F/26 vs. M/29 vs. poor hygiene We stopped having decent sex months and months ago when I figured out the reason behind all of my many UTI, kidney infections and yeast infections was in fact because my s.o doesn’t brush his teeth. Not sure how to broach the subject with him because its going to be hurtful telling him I wont have sex with him if he tries to go down on me, spit on me, kiss me, and let’s not forget to wash down under(that’s important too). If this didn’t directly affect my health in such a substantial way I wouldn’t be so pissed off and mad about it. Ive tried talking about it in a positive way, without blaming his lack of hygiene for our lack of sex- and he turned it into a fight. All I did was politely ask him to brush his teeth. Im at the end of my rope here. Our sex life is dying, there is no romantic or emotional connection left when your open mouth becomes off limits due to its hideous smell and teaming bacteria. Is there a nicer way to say this without sounding like an rear end? The man Litterally doesn’t brush his teeth and I cannot even kiss him properly, but instead of being a man and just brushing his teeth he feels insecure and wants to fight about it. This is so easily fixed its ridiculous, but its killing our relationships romantic and sexual side. Please someone give me the right thing to say, if I cant find the words and he doesnt take me begging him to get off of me when he tries to go down on me and washing myself off immediately as a red flag, I guess ill just give up?

LOL I actually rate Chicago for walking around, at least when the weather isn't lovely. Wife and I went for a few walks and bike rides down by the lake when we were there. Apparently through the Murder Zone at one point according to my cousin after the fact. It was fine. Nice even.

I also teach 5th grade, and when a student asks for period products you absolutely send them straight to the nurse because either A. They are having their first period and need education and mentorship you can't trust their family to provide B. They're not having their first period, yet their family has not provided the education and mentorship needed to know they need to carry period products so you absolutely need to get them in front of a nurse for both education and documentation of a potential home issue. That teacher sucks. Edit: Eh, maybe it's easier for me because I'm a guy, so when a student asks if I have any period products it's a lot easier to sense. "Huh, something might be off, here." But unless you need a bandaid because you scraped your finger, I'm sending you to the nurse for any medical thing, because when you teach kids everything needs documentation Drunk Nerds fucked around with this message at 14:39 on Aug 30, 2023 |

Some good long-term thinking by the sister, here. AITA for ‘screwing over’ my sister by immediately quitting babysitting for her? quote:Basically I (39F) was helping my sister Claire (38) with her kids 9M and 5F cos she’s going through a nasty split with their dad. They go to the same school as my kid, 6F and I work flexibly and from home so it was easy to pick the kids up and watch them for a few hours.

Drunk Nerds posted:
Wait what, you're expecting 5th graders to have internalized keeping period products on hand when they've likely only just begun menstruating in the recent past, and that if they forget to have menstrual products on-hand, it's some sort of metric for not being mentored at home? You do realize even adults forget to have menstrual products on hand, right? People asking each other for products is common in bathrooms, even to strangers. There's an understanding that it can happen to anyone, getting caught out and your period starts unexpectedly. Folks don't always carry menstrual products 24-7, many have certain times of the month you pack them and sometimes it sneaks up on you. Just keep some pads on-hand dude, drat. It's perfectly normal to ask for a pad or tampon if you need it. StrangersInTheNight fucked around with this message at 14:59 on Aug 30, 2023 |

Yeah and it's worth remembering when someone is just starting to get their period, for a lot of people it doesn't just start up like a motor and immediately fall into a handy, predictable one-week-a-month schedule. It can take a while to get there. My first year of periods was so unpredictable, lasting anywhere from a couple days to a full week, occurring sometimes every few months, sometimes every few weeks, sometimes starting for a few days, stopping for a few days, picking right back up, just taking its sweet time settling into a more reliable schedule. Someone that young may be still figuring out what being prepared looks like when you can't really depend on your body's schedule yet, so not having a pad handy doesn't necessarily mean anything other than "is a child experiencing something new"

Gnoman posted:No major branch of Christianity condemns sexual relations within the sacrament of marriage. If you go into many Christian bookstores, you'll even find "this was intended for pleasure" books pushing against the notion that there is something wrong with it. Some of the various apocalyptic cuts have adopted such rules, in the belief that the end of the world was imminent and they needed extra purity, but those always die out when the promised End Of Days fails to arrive. I think you are kind of underestimating how the pervasive condemnation of premarital sexual contact/feelings (“lust”)/etc. can seriously gently caress up attitudes towards sex more generally. “Well your feelings are evil and disgusting before marriage, but now they are fine” is not exactly an easy road to walk.

IT’S MY CREDIT CARDquote:Hello my darling, beautiful, smart, money hungry lawyers. K soooooo i need a little advice this is whats going on. Let me set the scene DRAKE CONCERT TICKETS. I bought 4 with MY credit card. Each ticket 697 dlls

… yes you read that right. So 1 for myself, my brother, my cousin and her friend. Purchased. The friend sends me 300 dlls. Awesome, great. In the coming weeks my cousins friend decided to sleep with my cousins brother, this upsets my cousin because “she barely has friends why are you sniffing at my brother and also she slept with 2 other guys before him,” so the friend and my cousin are no longer friends and my cousin refuses to take and and I support her HOWEVER I’m basically screwed because obviously I haven’t been paid in full it’s again MY CREDIT CARD. and this girl wants her money back obviously she will not be attending the concert with us I doubt she will go by herself and she wants the 300 back. So am I wrong for not wanting to give it back? The chances of me selling it are SLIM because who wants to pay 500 for one loving ticket. so therefore, am I wrong in my actions as not wanting to return the 300 Pls let me know, any suggestions? Further questions. I live in texas the concert is literally like two weeks away.
