hevnz 2 murgatroyd posted:My friend went on a Tinder date with a guy whose profile said he was 6'5". When she met him, it turns out he was 5'6". She pointed this out to him, and he got incredibly insulted and that it was "obviously a joke" that he put 6'5" on his profile. I wonder how many very brief first dates that guy went on? Being short does horrible things to men's brains. Actually, the unrealistic expectations put on men by other men does horrible things to men's brains.

Serephina posted:This is a really hot one, and it's a shame people are skipping it. Sure, the wife is doing a very noble thing by adopting... 3 kids, one of which pregnant when she's minimum wage at 20. Holy gently caress, ok that can work with a shitton of work, you're a better person than me for sure. Also I'm not sure if she knows what she's getting into. The most important part of all this to me is that they already discussed this years ago, and he made himself clear that he didn't want to raise these kids, and they agreed that it wasn't going to happen. It isn't like this situation suddenly popped up and they are swooping in to save the kids. And calling someone selfish or questionable for "wanting to have his own children when he is ready to have them" instead of "adopting drug babies from someone else's family against your will" is a hell of a take. There's a reason you put your oxygen mask on first. Sandwich Anarchist fucked around with this message at 17:39 on Mar 24, 2019 |

AIAA for not being happy about my best friend's new job?quote:My [30m] best friend [32m] grew up in an abusive household and had a pretty rough childhood. His younger siblings are both in prison or abusive relationships themselves, but he managed to get out of it after high school and join the military. He flourished there and got into intelligence work, which led to him getting a job in the private sector with a private defense contractor. Ever since he got there, he has always made a lot more than I have, which has never bothered me before because he really worked his rear end off for it, and I have been legit happy for him.

DJ Fuckboy Supreme posted:No poo poo. Networking is a skill a lot of people fail to develop, and it sounds like this guy is upset he got left in the dust. You'd kind of need to be at least in the same sphere of professions I would think though. Homeboy was intel stuff with a security contractor, that probly segues way better into cyber security than nurse or field scientist or whatever. You can at least spin it to sort of fit. It would be like an office manager asking for a job at a high end restaurant; they'd get laughed at, assuming they even looked past the cover letter of the resume.

QuarkJets posted:Nurses are constantly on their feet doing physical things that I imagine is probably damaging, but is that normally described as a form of "physical" labor? I thought that term applied more to construction work, moving services, etc. where physical stuff is literally all you do I think it depends on WHERE you're a nurse. Sure, being a hospice nurse or working in a private practice is probly relatively cushy compared to being a trauma nurse in a large city. jobson groeth posted:Nepotism isn't networking.

Gf (28F) is draining me (27M) out. I can't take it anymorequote:I've been in a long-term relationship with my gf (28M). Lately, I've started to realize being with my gf makes me stressed and anxious. She is too controlling, bossy and I feel very immature. For instance, when I'm going for a walk with her, I'm supposed to walk to the right side, walk in a single pace, carry her bags and my bags, use both the straps of my bag (She wants me carrying my bag in a certain way). She acts I'm embarrassing her in public. She gets pissed easily. In addition, she constantly gives me slaps or pinches me hard. I told her several times it ruins my mood and I feel emotionally drained. The slaps aren't too hard most of the time but the constant blows to my face in public, pulling hair is making me exhausted. Sometimes I've had blue and red marks on my arm. I usually never cry but one time I had to go to the washroom during a date to cry. I'm always the one to visit her, travel 1 hour to see her and she never comes here. She goes like "your place is too far, I don't like long commutes in bus". I also realized I feel relieved whenever the date ends and I have to go back home.

Wrt the epilepsy dad, it would be one thing if she got accidentally pregnant and refused to terminate, and they split and he isn't part of the kid's life, and she just shows up with this. There would at least then be some shred of an argument in the dude's favor. But no, he got her pregnant on purpose, made her keep it, divorced her, and visits twice a month. gently caress that guy. But uh, let's not advocate for forced sterilization maybe, because jesus christ.

Araenna posted:Is it common for people not in the wedding party to get professional hair and makeup for a wedding? Is it because they're family and would be in the photos? "Formal" Is a step below black tie, and generally denotes professional hair and makeup and smart dressing. I don't think this woman or her family did anything wrong, other than thinking "formal" actually meant formal on a wedding invitation.

^^^^^^^ That's the thing, most people don't know what the gently caress any of the dress code terms mean. They likely think "formal" is a nice dress from the department store and you spend 45 minutes on your make up, which is perfectly fine and totally acceptable for a wedding. But formal is actually black tie optional, tuxedos, professional hair etc. It isn't regional, it's just based on class and upbringing; the OP likely has come from a more priviledged background and so has a little bit more knowledge on what dress codes actually mean. Her big mistake was assuming everyone else does too. Smirking_Serpent posted:AITA for giving my daughter more money than my son after a lottery win because of different circumstances?
