This thread has taught me to be very cynical about stories but the "vent about students" thread in Science & Academics has taught me that this one is 100% accurate.

Lady cop chat, I was on a train once with a mentally disabled man and his extremely unpleasant father. The train was running late because of signal problems, the guy didn't understand why it kept stopping and wanted to go home, his father kept yelling at him, eventually a cop showed up and gave him a right dressing down. Full carriage, no one applauded. Imagine that.

This reads like the father checked them all. "By god this gringo has hosed someone in here!"

I think my favorite part is that her doing female-dominant male humiliation porn is supposed to be further evidence for her being a horrible bitch, like that's not something many male customers actively seek out and consume. It's like he thinks those things are documentaries, and the dominatrices roam the streets seeking innocent men to demean-

Wait a minute I just need to put down an idea I got for a screenplay.
There's a pretty clear connection there between her humiliating him in high school and making humiliating other people into a career. It's the ultimate form of "getting away with it." He never succeeded at getting her into trouble with authority figures for it when the authority figures were the school administration, but now that it's her dad (the ultimate authority figure), he can finally do it, vindicating himself retroactively.

This reads like the guy pestered someone into drinking something they didn't like and they confirmed to him they didn't like it, so he went home and wrote this post about what SHOULD have happened.
On the other hand: a guy pushes his beer on you like that and you try and don't like it, is that what you tell him?

The theater thing, I was in my school's theater club from grade 6 all the way to graduation, which counts as "7 years in theatre" only if you split hairs, but actual children don't gently caress around like that minutes before a show starts. Mostly because everyone's got the jitters.

Chienne's not as commonly used as a pejorative in French, but it has the same meaning as it's English counterpart.

The part that's easily looked up in dictionaries without context or any working knowledge of French I guess.

In case anyone was actually wondering, the pink Kinder Surprise eggs are coloured because they're special edition Barbie eggs. Not that that would make it any less "gendered" for idiots who see things that way (I think they had blue Spiderman eggs too).
Flat out calling the pink ones SURPRISE EGGS FOR GIRLS (and presumably the blue ones FOR BOYS) isn't really open to much misinterpretation re: is it gendered y/n.

Last year a teenager in Ireland died from a severe allergic reaction. She'd forgotten her epi-pen and her mother wasn't given one at a nearby pharmacy, because they are prescription only in Ireland. Pharmacists also aren't allowed to give the injection. Now in the UK, from what I found googling around, a layperson isn't allowed to administer prescription medicine; there is an exception specifically for epi-pens, but the catch is you can only administer a person's own epi-pen. So if you're in the UK and having that sort of reaction without your pen a) the pharmacy is the last place you should go to and will only cost you valuable time and b) you're probably hosed. Basically you'd have to hope there's a third party in the pharmacy who will straight up rob the pharmacist for an epi-pen right there and doesn't stand to lose their livelihood for it.

I have a tale about that. A friend of a friend was gonna get married. One evening the young couple were talking about fetishes and he mentioned scat porn and that it was something he'd never seen in reality but found the idea really kinky. Not sure why, but his wife-to-be actually agreed to squat on a glass coffee table and poo poo while he wanked underneath. Apparently this is how it went down... She got on the table did a fart and a waterfall of green diarrhoea followed it, it seeped over the edges and on to him and the carpet, he was so disgusted he vomited and called the wedding off.
