I couldn't pretend to know the mechanisms involved but gold atoms don't have to chemically react in order to occupy receptors or binding sites. They can be inert and still trigger a response.

OPAONI posted:Bullshit that they 'can't afford' to buy the land. They just don't want to. If they have a successful business, the land is an operating expense. I get a hint that Mr. Fair Market Rate who bought the property "almost" sight unseen might be gouging them a little, but c'est la vie

Invisible Clergy posted:AITA for not letting my son on his console on school days? Might be doing the insane goon projection thing here, but "He's been getting good grades but I won't reward him or ease up because that might distract him from getting good grades" is really damaging in the long run. I guess it depends on how old the son is, but still.

Dr. Stab posted:It's okay, Mom decided that the kid was too poorly behaved to receive medical care. Sometimes kids will get embarrassed in these situations, or feel like there's some kind of negative consequence waiting if they fail the test. I don't remember it, but my parents tell me when I got my sight tested at age 6 (at the suggestion of my teacher!), I told the optometrist that I definitely could read the chart perfectly and that I just wasn't going to tell him what it said. My incredible deception failed, probably because I was of course squinting like I was staring at the sun the whole time. OP on the other hand would have been like "Well he said he could read it, what do you want from me" A HUNGRY MOUTH fucked around with this message at 06:47 on Mar 17, 2022 |

Lottery of Babylon posted:I'm not boomerbrained enough to even understand what OP is complaining about. It's the estranged parent narrative in its distilled form. "They completely overreacted to a silly disagreement over nothing where I was of course being totally reasonable!" Even before I got to the complaint about having been "disrespected" in the past I was expecting it. Note that at the very end OP actually admits to being "upset about the TV" even though they presented a sequence of events where they were mostly bewildered and definitely not mad at all, please don't put it in the family therapy notes that I got mad e: oh this was a few pages ago. cool, laugh at me it's ok e2: it's disjointed as gently caress because she (consciously or unconsciously) has omitted all her escalations and also the 77 prior times she blew her top in front of the grandkids A HUNGRY MOUTH fucked around with this message at 12:12 on Apr 3, 2022 |

Reminder that Serephina believes that, instead of AITA having an insular core of posters all imitating each other's general narrative structure, it's more reasonable to think that all posts with a certain phrase in it are written by the same single person. I know this sounds bad but hear me out: no, actually, that's it

Beachcomber posted:Apparently he's had this condition since he was a baby, and he hates it. My junior psychonaut hot take was that even though it's a congenital chronic condition of some kind, he was keeping GF compartmentalized away from it, consciously or not. When she showed up at the hospital it was embarrassing and "wrong" and now she's associated with the condition he hates. Even though she seems like she was totally loving and ok with it, he can't handle it.

Oh Beachcomber was right, then, he just didn't want her to see him brought low and was scared of what she'd (secretly) think. Junior psychonaut license: revoked

Charity Porno posted:I think selling 2 year expired products deserves a cash refund on principle It is much more likely that OP saw some expired and/or barely used products in her pantry, bought replacements, and tried to bring the old ones "back" for a refund than that a chain supermarket had inventory on shelves well past its best-by date.

FMguru posted:That's one of the most characteristic features of Estranged Parent posts - the famous Missing Missing Reasons. Gaps you could drive a semi-truck through. I'm familiar with missing missing reasons, I just don't think I've ever seen one that (if we take OP at her word, which we probably shouldn't) irrevocably annihilated a close, loving relationship all at once. It's usually a long term pattern of minimization and not a single nuclear event

DreamingofRoses posted:I’m sorry, he said no and she picked her kids up from camp. How does that make her the rear end in a top hat? First, she decides that after a mobility-impairing treatment is the time for it to be his turn to do the thing she usually does. Then when he replies, "Please don't make me do this today," she notably does not say, "Ok, I will handle it, you can rest." Then, presumably, he worries that that means his kids aren't going to be picked up at all (why, if the wife is dependable?), and he drives out there, only to find it's a trick to punish him for "indecisiveness." Taken together it comes across as malicious.

FMguru posted:Parent who disappeared for more than 20 years suddenly materializes! I wonder if there's a catch or perhaps an ulterior motive? kimbo305 posted:Not calling it fake, but seems weird that OP didn't check with their dad about how he thought of the whole situation, given how solid family support seems to be. If you won't call it fake, I will; the writer got mixed up at the big reveal whether they were talking in person or over text.

The joke's not important. It's not important what the sexual thing my grandpa said to my sister was. He's 96 it was a different time. He's senile or whatever it's not a big deal. Pretty tame sexual comment about his granddaughter actually. Now hug him he'll be sad if you don't, you'll ruin Christmas

TyrsHTML posted:I read both of those and all i have to say is: what? Single mom who presumably escaped abuse has heavily internalized the idea that only she keeps her daughter safe. Meets a guy who seems normal and immediately starts pulling herself in two directions: no way will you ever meet my daughter, meet my daughter, I wish someone would give me a break, how dare you offer to take my daughter somewhere away from me you bastard Therapy for the mom and kid. And probably for mister "I did not yell. But if someone swears at you, you gotta swear back"

Pages late, but I don't think anyone else posted this read of the "single mother trapped in Maine with horrible in-laws" story: the husband is deliberately dragging his feet on cleaning their house so that she and the family will grow closer, hence all his "They're helping! They're trying! I want them in our lives!" flailing. It's a brilliant plan, except that his wife is alone behind enemy lines and the mother- and sister-in-law are trying to steal the baby
