Cowslips Warren posted:AITA for making my daughter cancel her date Parenting issues aside, I was talking to a teacher recently and they had been horrified by the amount of young teenage boys in their school who idolise Andrew Tate, and tbh after hearing what they had been spouting in class I'd probably want to at least meet the kid.

I was seeing a woman for a while and when we first started dating she claimed to like a whole bunch of things, seafood was one memorable example. Turns out she was just a manipulative person who would instigate this kind of argument by breaking down crying "revealing" that she didn't really like X food and had just said that because she was afraid I wouldn't like her and now I was going to leave her etc. Trying to gaslight me into thinking I was the rear end in a top hat for ordering what up until now had been "one of her favourite foods" to the best of my knowledge. Cue a big make-up, promises to be honest about these kinds of things now, me being on eggshells and being super nice to her for weeks and feeling like poo poo. Not long after, following another similar gaslighting stunt, she tried to guilt me into getting her pregnant. We had been seeing each other for 4 months.

He's definitely TA but leaving your 5 and 8 year old kids home alone in an unlocked house is negligent and to do that during a custody battle is really loving stupid. All it would take is for the husband to come by and find them alone and that's her custody fight over.

Foo Diddley posted:idk what country she moved to, but i sure as hell know which one she's from lol The first time I stayed with some Americans in their home I got to see them consume US news and nearly ended up causing offence because I made an audible snort/laugh when fox news started talking about some classic horseshit like the no-go zones of Leeds, UK where white men fear to tread and the police shun. They we're genuinely surprised by my reaction and I realised they had just never questioned any of it. That same trip I tried to walk in to the local town center, about half a mile, and had two different people pull over and ask me if my car had broken down.

teen witch posted:Hey actually good time to ask this: men how the hell do you like, learn to catcall or harass others on the street? Is it like something you watch and learn and have zero interest in saying “that’s really hosed” or is it something that kinda happens. Is there a course? The other day I was wearing my lurid neon yellow cycling jacket and there was a lady with a lurid neon pink sweater and I said "love your sweater" and she looked at my jacket and laughed and said thanks. That's as close to a catcall as I have ever been and the entire concept is as baffling to me as it is to you. None of my friends do it to my knowledge but if they did they'd be getting a loving conversation and possibly NC'd.

Pirate Radar posted:Probably not life. If I had to guess I’d say the brother has been repeatedly pooping somewhere as a joke. If it's serious enough that they took the time to DNA profile it and set it up for alerts my guess is something along the lines of smearing poo poo on public handles or like throwing it at the mayor's house or something. That the family don't seem to care leads me to believe it's some kind of grudge which they actually agree with.

Wife and I are phasing out our nissan leaf in favour of our electric cargo bikes. I can get a full weeks shop and a sack of cat litter home just the same and it's even cheaper than the incredibly frugal car. It's been a really nice thing for our relationship too, spending more time keeping healthy and exploring on the bikes.

quote:Don't people pretty much always survive... Like I know its difficult but shell eventually be okay Hold on let me ask my dad how the leukaemia is working out o wait lol EDIT: if a little AITA from inside the thread isn't cool I'll drop this but it's a real low stakes one. TW talk of abdominal surgery and gynecology. AITA for quieting some med students in a restaurant because they were talking about surgery? I'm (38/goon) literally just sitting in a restaurant at a hotel, my wife (36/rockin) is all snorkeled out and asleep in our room and my stoned fat rear end wanted a cake and a cocktail after all the swimming and poo poo we did today. I was browsing the schadenfreude thread and having a sensible chuckle when a table over, some Apparently Med Students, a guy and two girls, started talking at American volume levels about which surgery they want to specialise in and started going into detailed comparisons of the c-sections they had witnessed. "Oh wow they just throw the organs up on the chest!? That's wild. At the one I saw they just punched her organs up into the body cavity so they can drag out the placenta." I was one of only a few tables in range and it's possible no-one else heard but it's a quiet place. I had luckily finished my chocolate cake before they started talking about endoscopic cyst removal. I'm not really squeamish but it would have been really off-putting to hear that. I caught a natural lull between stories and just said, at about their volume level*, "Guys I have a strong stomach so don't worry but maybe think about what you discuss in eateries, I was just trying to read the internet and not trying to evesdrop" In as friendly a tone as I could. They sort of laughed and looked embarrassed and the guy thanked me for letting them know but I got the impression that I kinda pissed in their chips and they were very quiet for a few minutes. I feel bad because they were having a great time discussing it and clearly passionate and interested students. Technically I could have let it slide and not said a word and they'd have probably had a better night but I figured I just saved someone else down the line from barfing up their fish tacos. I crave goon judgement. ReelBigLizard fucked around with this message at 03:08 on Mar 3, 2023 |

AceClown posted:UK licence laws, like poster above said if someone is clearly smashed off their tits the you have a duty of care to stop serving them, however in practice this only happens in a few places because we're a trash island full of binge drinkers. So I've worked in UK bars and dealt with licensing applications. I know that's the deal. What I'm asking is if there's some nearly dry county like Still-pointes-at-airplanes, Ohio where they are decorum pilled so hard you legally can't have a drink in a work uniform lest it tarnishes the good name of your office.

Uh when you don't know the reason someone asks that you use a particular name and not another yeah, gently caress you. There are nicknames of mine that still trigger deep old trauma for me when kids bullied me because my aforementioned dad died of cancer. If I tell you to address me one way don't get loving creative. And mine is mild in comparison to other abuses people have suffered. But go ahead, justify yourself while I remember how to block people on the awful app again.

You know what I like about this thread? It started as a guilty pleasure, I have Reddit but it's exhausting to navigate. I much prefer the goon curated digests of other networks. Goons have a talent for finding the buried lede, the delicious schad and the questionable age-maths amongst other morsels. Turns out my wife started reading those subs too and when we realised we started comparing notes. It's become a regular thing we share and enjoy. She likes the spoiler tags we use and we use our conversations about the various stories as a springboard to talk about issues and how we feel about things. It's like we're watching a daily soap opera together and it has been great for our relationship so thanks goons.

I can't possibly allow my son to decide how to deal with his trauma and disability. I certainly can't condone anything as cool as a 14 year old wearing an eye patch, literally, possibly the only upside to a legit eye injury. He's going to build so much character as his classmates stare at his (apparently visible) disability and make him feel self conscious anyway.

My Polish friend once half jokingly asked me if I'd come with her back home for her brother's wedding because her family kept harassing her about not having a boyfriend (she was asexual and we were just good dinner buddies). I still regret not going and living a polish romcom for the weekend but I think polish wedding drinking would have killed me.
