I once worked at a chemical distribution company where the new hire was a guy in his forties that I saw drinking hand sanitizer.

I ended up pushing for him to be fired once he started asking about the alcohol content in our products.

I feel bad for that guy and I hope HR got him help instead of just showing him the door. I wouldn't want someone dying from eating Sterno on my watch either, though.

It was a small company with less than fifteen employees in the US, HR isn’t required.

I've always loved the parent rationale of "My kid is too young to be blamed for something, so therefore it's nobody's fault and you should pay for it because...it takes a village?"

EDIT: A few years ago my spouse and I were involved in an RP game that the GM had created himself via some engine. Over the course of a few sessions we slowly realized he was using the game to write a novel, complete with all of the characters we had come up with.

Strict parents raise sneaky kids. It’s better for you to be open and honest as to what social media does, and teach them responsibility, not withhold it.

By the time your kids are within the age of inquiry about social media, it’ll be a different ballgame, one way or another. Just teach them appropriate boundaries and how sometimes social media can be good (ie - saying happy birthday to grandma, a funny picture) and how social media can be bad (misinformation, bullying)

Treat your kids like cognizant beings.

Having a strict father that liked to use his fists to make a point just made me into a fantastic liar really good at hiding things when I was a kid.

My ex-wife, while not a nearly as awful as some of these people, leaned over to me at one point during our wedding and asked, "Isn't it great that everyone in this room has to do what I want?"

Yes, I stayed married to her for four years after that.

Notably absent: SIL's actual feelings. The urgings to wait don't come from her but from her siblings. Watch her be horrified that a family member was asked to delay their life just to spare her hypothetical feelings, if they'd even be hurt anyways.

Yeah, it reminds me of the story where everyone shaved their heads to show solidarity with their friend in chemo and they were harassing the OP non-stop about doing it as well. When someone finally told the friend she was pissed and ended up cutting out everyone but the OP.

I feel like a lot of racists are just racists because they don't regularly interact with people of the races they "don't like", and this is a good example of that. Presuppositions and fearmongering for a group of people you have little experience with, reinforced by purposeful media.

The fiancé here is superhumanly patient and gracious here, and goes well beyond what he should have to. It is equally acceptable to defenestrate racists as it is to rehabilitate them.

This all sounds lovely but I'm pretty sure they haven't changed their minds about black people, just that he's "one of the good ones"

I hate stories like this because even if it's true it's still something that creeps will carry around in their back pocket as proof that they should go ahead and harass the person at work that's obviously giving them signals like wearing clothes and having facial expressions.
