quote:AITA for snapping at my boyfriend’s daughter? And the comments... quote:
quote:Somewhat. I just asked him why he doesn’t give her harsher punishments, and he told me that he doesn’t really believe in taking her things away as punishment, and that her therapist said that talking to her and verbally telling her what she did wrong would be more effective in her case. quote:I’ve tried talking to her about her interests and hobbies. She said that she doesn’t have any. quote:I don’t know. She doesn’t value materialistic things (she wouldn’t care if you took her phone / didn’t let her watch TV - she doesn’t use either of those much). She values things like spending time with her dad and going to the park and stuff. I suggested that he take away their “father-daughter” outings (they normally go on nature walks on the weekends) to make a point, but he said that he wouldn’t do that. He’s at work most of the time and he said that it would be unfair to stop spending time with his daughter.

AITA for getting my brother a mop for his bday?quote:I (18F) was home from uni, and my mum had told me clean the house. I did, and was just going to get some water from the kitchen. My brother(23M) was there refilling his water bottle from the fridge water dispenser. His attention was completely on his phone not the bottle, so it spilled onto the floor and down the sides of the fridge. This is not the first time it happened.

I get the aesthetic preference for jeans, especially when you're younger, but they make non-grandpa kakhis now and you really do feel the difference when it's hot.

The whole thing gives off some of those estranged parent vibes of using vague words that gloss over anything the other person says or does and denies that they have motivations beyond undeserved hatred for the OP.

Taima posted:Ok you’re going to have to explain yourself, I can’t stop laughing at this for some reason. It’s just so out of left field. Not much to explain, khaki pants are just more comfortable and lighter and if it's hot out they keep less air and moisture trapped in, which tends to center around the crotch/butt. I used to be only jeans until I had to start wearing nice clothes for work and I'm pretty convinced Big Denim has pulled the wool over peoples eyes.

Like sure if you don't sweat a bunch into your jeans you can wear em a couple times between washes but I've heard people being like "YEAH I NEVER WASH THESE" and it's like buddy, that's not bragging material

Power Khan posted:My chemistry teacher distilled red wine in class and drank it right there. It wasn't just a shot. He also ate a candle. Mine showed us a delayed-reaction firestarter and talked about how a HS classmate of his used it to burn down churches (also how she was caught, the firefighters noticed the water turning an odd color when putting it out and fire inspectors know chemistry as well), dreamed of having classroom vent fans so strong the chairs would need seatbelts, and accidentally dropped the sodium into the chlorine when making salt, spilling it and gassing the whole class (no serious damage, otherwise I'd tell that story in a very different tone). He would moan about schools so scared of what their students could do that they'd only have zucchini chemicals ("they sit there and look at you") and how, when visiting a friend who taught chemistry at one of those schools, they took a simple trip to the supermarket to get stuff to put on a real show. We got to play with silver nitrate (turns skin dark when exposed to sunlight) but he didn't tell us what it would do until a classmate said "huh nothing's happening" and slathered it over a lot more than a small patch of skin. According to that guy too much of it tingles like a bad sunburn, not in a fun way. He also wore a leather jacket and rode a motorcycle to school. And he worked hard with me and my brother when we clearly knew the information but were absolutely rubbish at writing any of it down. Godspeed Mr Powell, wherever you are. You were awesome.

Bunch of goons saying denim had special anti bacterial properties and never needed to be washed I remember both of those! For the jeans it was actually about expensive denim - apparently the more you wash super fancy denim, the more you basically 'ruin' it, so they were saying its proper care to wash luxury jeans as little as possible and...put jeans in the freezer between wears bc it apparently kills all the smells. I have never known if that was true, I just know that was the thread consensus. StrangersInTheNight fucked around with this message at 17:13 on Sep 24, 2019 |

I used to be only jeans until I had to start wearing nice clothes for work and I'm pretty convinced Big Denim has pulled the wool over peoples eyes. Ok I guess that's fair. We have a really lax white collar work uniform culture in this part of the US, I don't see people wearing khakis too often so I guess my brain kinda short circuited. Could you wear linen pants? Those would be the ultimate in crotch breathability.  This dude hasn't had sweaty balls since 1986. Taima fucked around with this message at 17:26 on Sep 24, 2019 |

haha it became Such a Thing they now have a portion of their website addressing it now: https://www.levistrauss.com/2018/01/25/no-dont-wash-jeans-really/ quote:Our own CEO, Chip Bergh, received global attention for his now-famous proclamation that he does not wash his jeans unless absolutely necessary. Spot clean? Yes. Tossing them into a washing machine? Never. “And, when my jeans really need a wash, I do it the old fashioned way: I hand-wash them and hang-dry them,” Chip once wrote. “Ask my wife – I really do!” 'we just meant hand-wash, guys!'

teen witch posted:I went to a HS like that. My principal was caught cheating on his wife with not ONLY the head of the English department, but also a parent of a student. The principal came to my district after something similar happened in his previous one, apparently. Did we go to the same high school? Or is principals cheating with their teachers just a common enough occurrence that the details will eventually just line up perfectly for two completely different high schools?

I remember when I was in 1st grade I had suspicions that my married teacher was "with" the gym teacher. She was, and they ended up getting married. If a 5 year old can pick up on it, then I'm certain everyone can.

Putting them in the freezer only makes the bacteria dormant, it doesn't kill them. It probably also introduces more moisture for them to live off of when they thaw out.

raw denim is a masochistic semi-cult you buy stiff hard jeans 2 sizes too small and wear them painfully for several months to stretch out the waistband enough to fit and to get sick fade patterns based on how the jeans crease on your body. then you take a bath in the jeans or go in the ocean and wear them wet until they dry so the waist doesn’t shrink on you, and that’s washing your jeans I actually saved up and bought a pair a few years ago and did this. it was stupid and not worth it and I had bruises on my hip bones for a month and then the waist shrank back anyway and I gave up on that poo poo

boyfriend (25/m) wants me (24/f) to quit job because I broke up with him. My ex boyfriend and I broke up due to personal reasons and I initiated the breakup. It wasn’t mutual but he respected it. Today I get a text with him asking me to quit our adult jobs that we both work at because I’m ruining work for him claiming that he needs this job more than I do since I have my parents I can move back home to. I told him he’s ridiculous and needs to grow up and he said that if he broke up with me he’d quit so it wouldn’t be awkward for me. Am I being irrational? I really think it’s ridiculous he can’t grow up. TLDR: Ex bf wants me to quit job we both work at because we broke up.

My [31M] longterm girlfriend [31F] wants a break, but we're living together while she's hanging out with a guy from work. 4 weeks ago, my girlfriend of 8 years told me she didn't love me and that the spark is gone. Since then, we've been apart for 3 weeks traveling with minimal contact. I let her have her space since in the hopes that she'd reconsider things. Now we're back living in the same apartment, sleeping in the same bed while we figure things out. In general we're acting friendly towards each other, but I'm an emotional wreck bouncing from anger, sadness, etc. Watching the love of my life slip through my fingers is painful, but I'm trying my hardest to focus on working out and staying positive. We're in a 2 year lease at our dream apartment (first time living together) so although I don't want to leave, this isn't a sustainable arrangement. I still had hope and was ready to schedule couples counseling until I found out that she spent the evening with a guy from work. Do I wait it out and go to counseling? Confront her? Just leave all together? tldr: Long term girlfriend wants a break, but we're living together and she's hanging out with a guy from work.
