QuarkJets posted:he actually is a pedophile though, the only class of people who deserve to get extorted and then laughed at by police as they put him in handcuffs for having admitted to grooming a child Oh no doubt I'm just saying it would be a slam dunk extortion case. The daughter and the guy would deny the grooming/statutory rape, and they are both witnesses to the extortion. A picture of two people talking doesn't prove pedophilia or grooming. Also the parents are shitheads for apparently sitting on this picture for years, never going to the police, letting their daughter marry the pedophile, while also having said pedophile cosign a mortgage for their dream home. Not exactly parents of the year. ETA: Between the cosigning and the extortion they're selling their daughter to a pedophile. Everyone in this situation is gross and I hope they all go to jail (except the daughter. She needs therapy) Ebola Roulette fucked around with this message at 18:10 on Aug 24, 2019 |

LadyPictureShow posted:My (F25) boyfriend (M45) won’t let me get the kind of puppy that I want Does she ever go into more detail about this bit: quote:I had a puppy (morkie) for a short period of time and while having her was the absolute best short while, I was absolutely heartbroken when our time together ended. Cos "I had a puppy" suggests she wasn't dog sitting or moved away from family who had just got a new dog, and "our time together ended" could mean anything, from a completely wholesome explanation to a tragic early death from innocent causes to her having to re-home it due to extenuating circumstances or just getting bored and giving it away or killing it through neglect. Why did you have a puppy then suddenly not have a puppy, lady? This is important

Sagebrush posted:"Lifehacks" are universally either (1) really stupid ideas to do something in a slightly different way that nobody does because it's stupid, or (2) extremely basic tidbits of life advice that your grandma probably told you at some point. One actually useful type (which of course don't get shared around the internet because they're boring) is ways to help manage bad habits, interrupt reflex actions. People joke about someone on a diet who locks their fridge, but the idea isn't to keep them out it's to add an extra step to getting food so that their conscious brain can get in the way and give them a chance to decide not to snack. Cutting back on soda, some people find it helps to switch from 2L bottles to cans because you're less ambiguous about how much you're drinking (also don't keep them right at hand). Others may find going from cans to bottles is what they need to turn their habit into conscious thought, depends on the person and their reflex. But you're never going to find a Buzzfeed of those sorts of things because A) they're not sexy and B) I don't think I can think of ten of them, it's all variations of "find a way to interrupt your automatic motions so you have to decide to do it".

lol if you posted:a coworker of mine in his late 40s literally only learned about this last week and was astounded that every single person in the office knew but him A friend surprised me when he didn't know exit numbers were based on the highway mile they're on. He was mid-30s, drove around town as a profession, and thought it was just arbitrary whether two exits would be 296 A/B or 296/297 or jump right to 298. I learned that as a kid when my dad taught me to answer "are we there yet" on my own. But hey, everyone has a first time learning every bit of "basic" knowledge.

Sagebrush posted:a number of states use sequential numbers for their exits instead of the mileage-based system. Huh, I didn't know that. Checking Wikipedia it looks like it's all the East Coast that does that, everywhere else is mileage based (with exceptions, but that's just individual highways).

Construction can also gently caress up exit locations. I-4 is under years of construction and some exits are nearly half a mile down from where they used to be now.

When I went down to Georgia for college I was that guy, your coworker. All throughout most of the Northeast it's sequential. If I had to guess a reason, using distance might psychologically make more sense when your covering longer reaches between destinations. But in BosNyWash you have a lot of big and small cities in fairly close distances (compared to much of the US anyway), so fixating on miles doesn't quite matter as much. Heck on longer trips I tend to think of the trip in terms of cities passed or nearly passed. Like... -Passed Philly -Passed Trenton -Passed Edison -Passed Elizabeth -Passed Newark -Cross GW into NYC -Passed New Rochelle -Passed Stamford -Passed Norwalk -Passed Bridgeport -Passed New Haven and so on.

Voting Floater posted:Just wanna say this was one hell of a sentence to unpick. The full list of reasons to dismiss a tenured professor: - violating the university's code of conduct - violating general academic ethics (plagiarism, etc) - abandoning classes (i can just ignore other parts of the job like faculty meetings etc if i choose with no real consequences; I don't, but many do) - committing a crime and that's it. If I haven't broken any rules, the only way I can be fired is if the university collapses and there literally aren't enough students to give all the professors a full course load. In that case they will start firing the lecturers and assistant professors first though so I'm still relatively protected. tenure is, uh, a hell of a thing Sagebrush fucked around with this message at 20:36 on Aug 24, 2019 |

Okay, also, to be really technical, the university can still start dismissal proceedings against any professor they like. If you're tenured, though, you are entitled to what is essentially a trial, where the university has to bring evidence of why you should be dismissed and you can rebut it and so on. The aforementioned reasons are the only cases where they're going to bother with the process because anything less (e.g. "you're an rear end in a top hat and everyone hates working with you") can be rebutted sufficiently to kill the case and make it all just a big waste of time.

These are getting to be as common as the two sisters getting impregnated by the one's husband Girlfriend (F23) admitted she has a crush/feelings with co-worker (M40) quote:Been with my partner for over a year I'm a (M26) and for the past 5 months my partner (F23) and I have hit a pretty serious rough patch. It started when we moved into a new apartment about 5 months ago and she started to pick fights with me over things we never fought about before (mostly cleaning related). One morning we fought so bad that she told me if my behaivor continued she would go to the arms of someone else. She immediately apologized for saying this but I became suspicious of her and started digging through her laptop and phone to find evidence of infidelity. I never discovered a smoking gun, but I did find out she had 3 trysts with co-workers in a one year span that occurred before we started dating. One of the flings was with a (M32) who was newly married. Shortly before the first married man mentioned she had a 4 month long relationship with another married man in his 30s who was not a co-worker. Regardless, all of these relationships were risky/inappropriate. One person could be fired if it was discovered they were involved with one another.

My neighbor uses her own feces as fertilizer, keeps buckets of it around the property, and it’s getting the neighborhood kids very sickquote:My neighbors are from a foreign country where it is culturally necessary to use your own poop to fertilize your vegetable garden. One night, I heard a strange noise and snuck up on what I thought was a raccoon – no, on the other side of the fence was Grandma, taking a dump into a five-gallon bucket! I kid you not. Her garden is wild, unkempt, and she uses the turd stew to fertilize the vegetables.

I can see the interest in enforcing such policies about one's own students I am sure those have long existed or been justifiable improper conduct, but I'm not sure if universities would have wanted to put broader rules on the books until recent years and that becomes another process question. The first amendment protects you from government censorship, not from employers firing you. And even the government censorship aspect has common sense limits
