Dazerbeams posted:Nerd girl's friends are all trash that need to be thrown into the garbage. Bad hygiene, always borrowing money, hanging out with underage kids. OP is broke brained from being bullied as a kid and is now hyper focused on being perceived as normal. ESH, except maybe the girlfriend who needs to learn that there are people who share her interests without being vile human beings. I think it's less about rushing to defend foul nerds than dogpiling a less than stellar boyfriend during a lull in DIPAC stories.

Olewithmilk posted:There's something about corporate cheapness that really winds me up, just the mix of idiot bureaucracy, general stupidity, and pig-headed refusal to actually think about what you're asking of employees. I really wish I could remember where I read or heard this as trying to retell it is tripping my own bullshit detectors to the point I question if I should even post, but supposedly this is (or was) a pretty well known difference in business culture between European and American organisations. Namely, Americans are much more likely to receive considerably higher compensation than their European counterparts of similar seniority, while having stringent business travel budgets/per diems, while Europeans are more likely to have generous expense and entertainment budgets. Edit: feedmegin posted:I work in tech. The one place I worked for that stopped giving us free coffee, stopped giving us paychecks on time a few weeks later, and then stopped giving us paychecks at all. I used to work for a moderately well known online gambling operator that was taken over by another company at one point and ended up laying most of the old staff less than a year later. First the vending machines appeared, then the coffee became completely unpalatable over the course of a month or two, but it never was not free. Even after it was known that 90% of the staff would be let go. a podcast for cats fucked around with this message at 13:40 on Nov 2, 2021 |

carry on then posted:It’s a legit concern, lots of stories of women who go down on a virgin dude only for him to instantly become clingy and codependent due to his lack of experience. It’s absolutely valid to want to avoid this and women should feel more comfortable requiring experience in their partners. I think this is a pretty good example of this thread often being far up its own rear end. Can't stop reading it tho.

Runcible Cat posted:r/relationships: she was convicted of assaulting her brother with three sticks of rhubarb in an unrelated family spat is probably too long... There's an influential right wing politician from the biggest nationalist/family values party in the country I'm originally from who is notorious for having been beaten up with a bunch of rhubarbs by his then wife to the point where he filed a police report. So, whenever his name comes up, Twitter etc blow up with rhubarb jokes. I'm never sure how to feel about that. On one hand, gently caress that guy and his party is directly responsible for blocking legislation that would help DV victims. On the other, making fun of a domestic violence victim just for that is lovely in itself.

Barudak posted:Why is he not also going to Italy there are too many questioni here The implied things there are that the wife is likely a SAHM, given their lack of options for daytime care and they're either reasonably well off and/or live somewhere in Europe, as the flights were bought for next week. In the latter case, you may not be excited about going to Italy, it's nice, but not all that special or even cracked up to be. And, flights are really cheap when they're on sale. I'm really trying to give the guy benefit of doubt, because, in all honesty, after nearly 2 years of Covid with a toddler in the house, I'd give up my left nut to get the house to myself for a week and, if English is not his first language, he may not be aware of the semantics of "babysitting" vs "parenting", but he does sound like a dipshit who bought a gift for himself and is perplexed when his wife doesn't appreciate that.

Put them in boiling water on the stovetop, like a normal person.

Ziv Zulander posted:I’m not taking ten+ drat minutes to boil a hotdog when I can just throw it in the microwave for 30 seconds and it’ll come out just as good. If for some reason I want to cook them proper then I throw them in a frying pan. Boiling hotdogs is the worst option by far This, in turn, made me wonder how the original goon who pooped in their socks in order to not to waste valuable WoW time defended their decision. Anyway, I'm willing to concede that we're probably talking about slightly different types of sausage and boiling might be more accurately defined as poaching. Putting any type of hotdog like object in cold water and bringing it to a boil is bad, we can agree with that.

Computer viking posted:Some sausages are just better boiled - I can't imagine frying a wiener would come out too well. Of course, boiling a bratwurst is also a sin. Exactly, it's right there in the name. German, being a very utiliarian language, specifically calls it frying sausage. There's Bratwurst and then there's Bockwurst. It's not difficult to confuse the names.

She clarifies in the comments, that they split housework, etc:quote:He deserves credit for being excellent with house stuff. We have a good split that I am happy with-- shared cooking and dishes, each does own laundry. We do house cleaning together. He does most of the yardwork, I do grocery shopping and any admin ( taxes, appointments, travel org, bills). If anything, i think he uses the spare time to also be intense with cleaning (for example, he has a very precise and uh, exact way of folding his clothes).

Many years ago I went on a couple of dates with someone from a dating site who both times insisted on telling me in detail about people hitting on her on that day. Thankfully it didn't work out, but even as desperately lonely as I was at the time, I recognised it as a red flag. I guess this is one way how it could have went. quote:Wife (36f) talks about sexual experiences a lot and it bothers me (36m) now that we moved to her hometown

Brawnfire posted:Yeah, you're the rear end in a top hat, it's normal for a business to lose its poo poo at a client for expectations of service George Orwell posted:I found—one might expect it, perhaps—that the small landlords are usually the worst. It goes against the grain to say this, but one can see why it should be so. Ideally, the worst type of slum landlord is a fat wicked man, preferably a bishop, who is drawing an immense income from extortionate rents. Actually, it is a poor old woman who has invested her life’s savings in three slum houses, inhabits one of them, and tries to live on the rent of the other two—never, in consequence, having any money for repairs.

I exercise a lot so I am in pretty good shape and I have nice clothes and colognes which my wife picked out for me.

However, I’m kinda getting nervous because, what if she realizes I was never was able to pick up a girl without knowing them? If someone can help me get better game I would greatly appreciate it. This could also backfire with the guy getting into PUA and redpill stuff. So, this being a palate cleanser is not a given.

its_my_birthday posted:yall live in castles or something? housework takes like 90 minutes max if you keep up on it every day. and what the hell kind of babies never sleep. you sleep when they sleep. i got so much sleep on the couch throughout the day while my daughter was in her tree frog pose on me snoozing away I think there's a non trivial amount of folk who are unable to rest/relax if they feel they're falling behind on housework, regardless of whether it matters or not. For example, there's a panel in that famous mental load comic where a man is enjoying a movie next to his partner who's pretending to watch it, I assume through gritted teeth, while rehashing and rearranging her neverending backlog of tasks at the back of her mind. It's meant to emphasise the mental project management load women are carrying in relationships, but it also misses the mark about self care and priorities.

I think I just misremembered that as being the OP's name the person was taking? And got mixed up thinking there was another 'my trans sibling/friend is stealing my name/future child's name and everyone is unusually universally supportive of this trans person's wishes!!' story between that story and the most recent one lol Following the same logic, 90% of r/relationships content must be incel recruitment propaganda. All those women of various ages and walks of life willingly putting up with non-wiping, non-cooking, unfaithful men while the reader remains alone, untouched and unloved despite not having these flaws, must surely mean that there is something up.
