'Antiwork' is basically NEETS making poo poo up to rationalize their lifestyle. It's safe to skip over anything you see/hear from that subforum.

Here's something you know the answer to just from the title:

What is a healthy amount of sex in a 2 year relationship?

"I'm over sex" says the 20 year old, totally healthy.

Menopause is rough.

Parents were loving assholes. They could have introduced the idea immediately upon seating, rather than trying to control a complete stranger, then they could have loving DISCUSSED IT LIKE ADULTS. Instead they were passive aggressive controlling assholes. Yeah yeah yeah, they were tired and having a sick kid sucks, but I've traveled with sick kids and was always clear and apologetic, and uh TALKED TO THE loving FLIGHT ATTENDANT.

Also how the hell were there 4 people in one row that wasn't a center?

This deep aversion a lot of people have towards adoption rustles my biscuits something fierce.

Both of my kids are adopted, and I always try to read about these decisions charitably; I 100% understand why people are cautious abut the adoption process. The level of investigation, counseling, and oversight and bureaucracy involved with adoption is crazy. Yet also a good thing.

It seems crazy to me that people can gently caress and the baby comes out nine months later, which is what leads to a lot of the horror shows in this thread.

AITA for calling my friend�s boyfriend a stupid boy after his negligence destroyed my shoes?

I�d bet money that these were Louboutans, given as they are described as distinctive. Which means she�s not old money (they�re gauche) and these legit could have been an prized graduation gift (or milestone self-gift) for somebody with a professional-but-not-rich background.

Similarly, up until recently having a vacation house on or near the water was achievable for common people in the upper Midwest, where there are a lot of lakes. My family didn�t have one, but we knew people that did, and my mom�s third husband has one that the grandkids used for stuff like this, it was great. The place was empty most of the time, and kids have summers and breaks off, their parent don�t.

As an aside, I�m seeing some VISCOUS fighting in families now as different kids try to get ahold of these often modest cabins to live in, because, you know.

*I remember being at an industrial site one night shift and there was a call from a car crash a few km away (closest other care about 40 km away), they asked if we would roll out our ambulance/jaws of life/etc and guys there but my shift boss turned them down - site ambo is for if our site has an accident and de-manning the site increases our own risk - kind of feel bad about it even 15 years later.

I had something similar happen. I didn�t make any decision, but my life would have been at a tiny percent of risk if the ambulance left. Still haunts me.

I feel like if you're mad that your gift to another person didn't get partially returned to you and you also recognize it's a faux pas to ask for some of your gift back, you are fundamentally missing the point of a gift and also why it's rude to ask for some of it back

A consumable is often gifted with the desire to become closer to the recipient by consuming a portion of said gift together.

I think it's more "my soon-to-be-ex is staying in the house and I want to go somewhere where I can be around people I know for emotional support" even if their idea of emotional support is finding someone else to be their punching bag.

Rich people have big houses and staff, or at least housekeepers, so houseguests are fun and not a chore or invasive. I guess unless they�re assholes.

You know, when you raise a kid for ten years as his father, you're the kid's father as far as they're concerned. It's cold as hell to just abandon them. I mean, I get that it would be super painful as a spouse, but I can't imagine loving a kid for ten years and then noping out on them because they don't share my genetics.

As an adoptive parent I agree with this 100%. But wow I can't imagine the sense of betrayal here, 10 years of his wife lying to him, not knowing which of her family/friends knew the truth, CHRIST that's painful just to imagine.

Also love the (ex) wife keeping up the lying poo poo with the kid. Jesus.

The best pizza is sausage, pineapple, and jalapeno; salty, sweet, and spicy in every bite.

It is known.

Add anchovies, seriously, that�s the best combo.

But don�t add anchovies if the pizza place doesn�t sell a lot of them, because week-old anchovies are legit bad, and maybe why so many people don�t like them. My BIL�s sister would bring a jar of anchovies when coming over for pizza, because she loved them and the places nearby didn�t sell a lot so the quality was suspect. This was in St Louis so I think that�s why, this is not a St Louis Pizza Derail.
