big dyke energy posted:They are a very large protection breed, but if the owner is informed & makes an effort to keep up with training and exercising their dog they can be appropriate for apartments. But since most people don't do that, I assume OP is a jackass who wanted a cool tough dog and now mostly just locks it in a crate for 7+ hours a day. Dog will be eating OPs fingers within a year. It’s more the “large protection breed” just does not mix well with “living very close to lots of other people”. Like I’m sure responsible owners/trainers are all great and have great dogs but I also imagine informed & responsible owners don’t live in busy apartment complexes to begin with

Mac n cheese sounds like there’s a good chance that mom & family are Korean. Iirc someone had a story way back about visiting Korean relations and making “proper” Texan chili for them for the first time and the relations loved it, even more so after they dumped a bunch of kimchi and catsup in. Edit: Also the salmon/seaweed/cheese thing sounds insane but stuff like okonomiyaki has some very strong contrasting flavors in a similar way. All that said maybe not something that a pregnant woman not accustomed to those flavors would particularly enjoy idiotsavant fucked around with this message at 18:55 on Jul 31, 2023 |

Adopting is fine, it's just that you really want to adopt a fostered dog so you can have a real idea of any potential behavioral issues yuou might have to deal with, and one jillion people getting COVID dogs all at once really makes all of that a mess.

There’s nothing weird about being in a ltr that you value and don’t want to give up while still being unsure about big capital M Marriage decisions. It sounds like their relationship has pretty garbage communication tho. “Wait another year and try again” doesn’t really strike me as an effective technique to fix that.

Bored posted:So was the dog not already spayed because they couldn’t find time in working dog’s busy work schedule to have it done? Kind of like how I had trouble getting time off work to go to the dentist to have an infected tooth dealt with because management was so lovely at that job. Nah, they said they were keeping her intact, so probably leaving the option open to breed her in the future. Actual working dog breeds aren't cheap, and depending on what you're using them for you might want puppies if a good opportunity comes up. Also sister is fully the rear end in a top hat, working dog or not. Would she be complaining about dogsitting fees and such if the dog ran off into the neighborhood and got killed by a car? Our dog's first instinct when he gets outside is to fuckin book it towards adventure if he isn't on a leash; if we had someone sit for him and told them never take him outside off-leash and they lost him for 6 hours I'd wanna loving murder them and he's just a rescue mutt.

rio posted:Is this like a real issue having been reported to HR for having a coworker feel bad about something they were told outside of work? I’m curious because I’ve never had to deal with HR (freelance + the organizations I’ve worked for have me in a department but on my own essentially) and I’ve heard that HR is essentially to protect the company rather than the workers anyway. At the very least it should probably come back to bite her in the rear end since sharing details about your love life at work in a way that makes people uncomfortable is an easy HR no-no Similarly, kitchen lady with the unsocialized co-worker could probably start keeping a work diary and blast off some hostile work environment claims when the job finally gets too lovely for her.

wheatpuppy posted:When I was in college, a friend once invited me over for dinner and made "stew." Step one was to take a flank steak, cut it in half so it would fit in the pot, and boil it until it was gray. Step two was to add flour and bay leaves to the water to make "gravy." I have managed to block the remaining steps from my waking memory but sometimes they come back to me in the dead of night. I don't really have a point here, this post just awakened some dire memories. The perfect r/relationship metaphor

Well, because your brain doesn’t work normally and you don’t know it.

I took Boilers & Boilers Lab (hands-on full boiler room simulator) from a professor who previously commanded a nuclear sub and who intimately understood both the operating procedures involved as well as all of the theory that underpinned it. A ton of the troubleshooting and operational choices you make in a steam plant come from having a fairly good grasp on a combination of thermodynamics, chemistry, and fluid properties, which is pretty critical when you have limited options in case of an emergency or breakdown. It's kinda silly to think that a guy doing engineering on a nuclear sub isn't educated.

AreWeDrunkYet posted:OP went about the situation about as rudely as possible, but there's no lack of engineers who know their field in depth but aren't broadly "educated". I mean that's the point tho - a nuclear engineer is absolutely educated in that they have learned and understand a bunch of academic theory that underpins their job. The kind of technical manuals they're reading aren't exactly IKEA assembly instructions, and reading tech manuals for equipment that is incredibly critical, complicated, and expensive generally requires a good understanding of the why behind it all. That he doesn't specifically have a "broad liberal arts education" doesn't mean that he isn't educated, and it's pretty lovely of his wife to present him as a high school ignoramus. Like litany of gulps said, it's a social class exclusionary thing. Is his wife uneducated because she has no understanding of fluid dynamics and can't tell one end of a psychometric table from the other? Stupid distinctions.

mllaneza posted:A Bolognese sauce takes a minimum of three hours; not on the menu, not happening. They might have been able to make a totally basic carbonara, but I don't see any cream sauces on that menu so they might not have the ingredients. OP admits that the chef told him that now he knows what OP likes he'll make him something tailored to his tastes. For free. That's an amazing opportunity, but OP gonna OP. Good point on the bolognese, and for the carbonara they have cream in other pasta dishes but I don't see guanciale anywhere on the menu so that's out the window, too. They have plenty of good, simple pastas tho so idk why dude is crying about not getting carbonara. TBH it sounds like some dopey flyover state couple going on vacation and getting mad that the menu is in another language, because most of that menu is pretty easy to translate and none of it seems crazy complicated. I did have a similar experience at a local bar that's a casual offshoot of a Michelin starred place. They have a bunch of special bar specific cocktails but I asked the bartender for a regular cocktail. They had all the ingredients for it and that he absolutely should have known how to make it, but he got all bent out of shape that I wasn't ordering one of their house cocktails instead. But like... dude, wtf is wrong with wanting a really well made classic cocktail? And wtf kind of bullshit bartender are you that you're mad about making customers a drink? So fuckin weird.

Everyone in the story seems to be Portuguese other than maybe the chef. Sure, everyone's Portuguese and all that. All the stuff about the menu being complex and not what they usually eat sounds like any number of low-info conservatives who would rather look for a reason to get mad than to try something new and enjoy themselves. And yeah the restaurant reaction is all goofy as hell too
