"I have turned down multiple young attractive sexual partners because I am too afraid they'll accuse me of rape!" --said the virgin

Also for those who don't want to click the STDH link in his post:




Dude sounds like a classic sexist liar. Tells a story about his totally crazy ex-wife who tried to murder him and managed to break an oak chair over his back and gashed open his head with a steak knife but he can't show the pictures of the wounds because the case is "ongoing" even though he was already given custody of the kids and she only got two weeks of jail time (even though this was posted two months ago). Then he talks about women lying about rape accusations even though he hasn't actually had this happen to him he's just afraid they'd claim rape on him. He's getting patted on the back with other misogynists complaining about how if the roles were reversed he'd go to prison forever with only ~1 person calling him out on it being a fake story.

The rests of his posts are tits, bad fart jokes, mild racism, and talking about his depression and nightmares.

GOD, I thought this too. It seems like 50% of these "breaking up" stories involve some sort of crazy abusive women and the sainted men never fight back. Also it's super difficult to diagnose a bruised diaphragm because you don't have much feeling in it, so I'm not sure how he knew exactly when that was.

Any man who is afraid of hooking up with women because they'll "cry rape" on him is welcome to excuse himself from social situations involving women. No one will miss him because he's probably a creepy fucker that expects a blow job for buying a meal.

I remember in one of my college French seminars, we read Atala, which included some light incest. The two characters had been raised together but weren't blood relatives. It was still gross. There was one guy that would not stop talking about the incest taboo. He brought it up every single class. He did his paper on the theme of the incest taboo. It was super weird and I guess my inherent distrust of him after that proved the power of the incest taboo. But still.

I would defer to a lawyer, but I think treating the kid would legally have fewer repercussions than not treating the child, since the parents could just say that they didn't say anything and the doctor refused care. If the parents were threatening to hurt anyone who tried to administrate care, hospitals have security teams for that. Or, they could call the police, take the kid away and administrate care. If this person didn't do literally everything she could to save a child's life, she's a legitimately bad medical professional who cares about her own safety over the survival of her patient.

So additionally (I just looked it up), the mother would have final say in the administration of care unless the father was given sole custody of the child. It's kind of the worst to make poo poo up like this because there are legitimately hosed-up things that happen every day in the name of racism and making these things up so that people can say "that's not true therefore all racism is a lie." It's the same kind of deep disappointment that comes with false rape claims. It's so frustrating.

I remember an early episode of Intervention where a woman would have a six pack on her morning train commute, then spend like 12 hours doing truck dispatching with a few beers at lunch, and then come home and drink another six pack on the way back. The woman was the epitome of a functional alcoholic. Once she stopped drinking like 18 beers a day, she ended up divorcing her husband because she was basically unstoppable.

I'd be seriously worried if my kid's first reaction to serious injuries is to pray.
Religious or not, that's some lovely patenting.

There was just a study put about how kids raised by religious parents tend to be less altruistic and have more problems sharing with others than kids raised in non religious homes or homes where religion was not a justification for doing something kind.

I was raised a Catholic, and although my mom is still in the faith, I'm an agnostic. I was expected to call someone if I saw an accident. Prayer was not something we were supposed to do for poo poo like this.
The fact that someone would see this and think it's positive is really worrying.

Edit. Could you link the study? Sounds interesting

Where is OSHA that a sharp-rear end eagle flagpole is just falling on kids? Shouldn't that be a sign from god that it is weird and abnormal to have your country's flag mandatorily hanging in every classroom? Also thank you to the teacher who applied pressure to my kid's head wound instead of praying about it because that is probably why it just needed a staple instead of going through the kid's skull.

"Man, people are always telling me to not be so great, I don't understand!"

I have a friend in a PhD program who was constantly telling stories about class where it was obvious that she was hijacking a discussion to talk about something unrelated. Her professor took her aside and politely asked her to stop or she would be asked not to participate in class. She took it about as well as the above, but she didn't get kicked out of class, so I assume she actually just stopped.

Paying for dinner doesn't preclude being an abuser. In fact, it could make him feel like he is "owed" something because he spent money on dinner by his date. You could just work on teaching the child to have healthy interactions with children his age, but that seems too easy and not as shareable on Facebook.

Being a woman will get people to talk to you on public transportation. You won't like it, though.

My best public transportation story is when a woman in full Vietnam Vet regalia sat next to me and said, "You know they put Viagra in Chapstick now. It's so you'll keep a stiff upper lip." And then she was silent for the rest of the bus ride. It was 2 years ago and it still impacts me greatly.

VV I've seen her around town actually and in the Pride parade color guard. She seems awesome. I want to grow up to be her.

Isn't it haram, if you will, to tell civilians about your deployment plans? My military friends have been very non-specific about where they are going before deployment other than "I am being deployed to Afghanistan." Once you're there it's no big deal, but I don't think they want it to be public knowledge of dates and places that they're shipping soldiers out.

My biggest problems with improv people, and I live in Chicago, so there are a LOT of them, is that they want to play every public interaction as a "scene" and then get mopey when you just want to drink your coffee and have a normal conversation.

It's just really tiring to be around someone who needs constant attention. See also: theater students.

Spanx are like wearing underwear or a bra or a slip: they're so that the fabric that, for example, this dress is made of, doesn't drape weird on your human shape. If you do not want to wear Spanx with a formal dress, you should wear fabric that has more structure and won't bunch on you. If she'd tried it on with the proper undergarments, she might not have thought that the dress looked "old."

Just read the story. There were dogs on the flight and the child was breaking out in hives from the proximity to animals. They couldn't leave until the kid stopped sneezing and poo poo, so the plane was being delayed. Airline travel has a knack for turning people into isn't assholes.

Legally if someone is so allergic to animals that they get that bad just being on the same place as them, it's the legal responsibility of the company that provides the service. I would assume they're putting the family on another plane with fewer animals on board. It's also irresponsible as a parent to not have Benadryl on hand if your child has allergic reactions this severe to animals.

It's poo poo that did happen, but poo poo that we aren't getting entire story on.

I take it, my Sphynx cat takes it. I take it because I'm allergic to pine resin and pine pollen which I induced in myself after years of soldering. Substitute solder is available (and twice the price) but substitute basically-everywhere-outdoors is not. I am dependent on it if I don't want sneezing fits every time I leave the house.

My cat takes it because she is allergic to people, or rather, a lot of the fabrics and conditioners in people clothes. When I need to travel with her I make sure she takes it. The hives are ugly as gently caress otherwise.

So yeah I'll be the rear end in a top hat who doesn't understand why the kid just can't take antihistamines. I'm also the rear end in a top hat who has taken cats on planes and trains.

Do antihistamines not work in some people or something?

You effectively can't do anything about dogs on planes. You can pick a carrier that doesn't allow dogs or cats as carry on luggage but you can't do anything about service dogs being present. The allergy needs to be medicated if the kid ever wants to be able to even leave the house.

The people "clapping towards the back" were probably the people harbouring the tiny dogs or cats in a carrier, that's where I've been typically told to sit with a cat when I've had to transport them. Pet owners can be total assholes about anyone who is adverse to their pet.

Honestly the more I think about it, the less likely it is that people even knew what they were clapping for. They were being delayed, the source of the issue was removed from the plane and they could get on with the flight.
