Haifisch posted:OP sucks poo poo for planning(presumably, not that it's any better if it was unplanned) a pregnancy while there's a dementia patient in the home. His wife 100% did some serious reevaluation of the situation after getting pregnant and his dumb rear end refuses to believe why it's a problem because ~she made her choice when we got married~. (she also should have done this reevaluation before getting pregnant, but better late than never) Small nit; mum was there first. It's not bringing dementia to a nuclear household, it's bringing a child into a multi-generational house. I'm giving OP credit for getting a caretaker asap, I kinda feel this is a NAH situation even if he's taking a assholish hardline to his wife's second thoughts (Bit loving late, isn't it?)

Yea my friends are actually suffering from the same thing, they told me "Betty does NOT need any more toys, please no". Small toddler got absolutely inundated by gifts small and large and the parents are physically swamped on where to fit it all. Outside toy playhouses, big bins of trucks, etc. I've gifted a few books and a coloring things which can be disposed of, but the kid is still being swamped by loot 5 years later. It's a great problem to have, but just explaining things and saying "No gifts at all, no really, it's ok!" is probably the most good-decorum thing to ask. Cash is maybe a whoopsie.

Pomme de Terror posted:Love a happy ending STDH. An accountant is absolutely a valid way of working your way up into higher management (as is F&B, etc). But the GM role, and the #2, oversees a lot of poo poo. If you've spent 3 months doing nothing but accounting, you're a fuckin' accountant and nobody's grooming you for poo poo. It's not even maliciousness from being hired with a bait&switch, because if that was so you'd clue in after a week of night duties. The most absolutely generous interpretation of the OP is that they where hired for their role and made some side comment of "Oh hey, looks like there's an opening of top tog, that'd be great!" while the interviewer nods on, then when it's brought up 3 months later she gets laughed at, so the OP runs off to the internet to twist everything. Like that GM role is still open, who are the people holding things together? Not the OP, she has no idea what's going on up there. And that's the generous interpretation - this is all assuming it's not some poor effort bandwagon of reddit's recent theme of writing stories of workers telling off their bosses and walking out while everyone claps. Oh and I just noticed the age. 23 y/o being hired as a GM, suuuuuure. edit: beaten, so bad. goddamnit. Serephina fucked around with this message at 05:27 on Nov 3, 2021 |

I think the 'issue' with the fruit tree isn't that the public are allowed access to it, it's that the landowner is told they are responsible for a thing's maintenance, but can make no claims (apart from those available to the general public) on it. All stick, no carrot. We have the same here where people are responsible for keeping their grass verge trimmed and looking nice or facing a fine, but you sure as gently caress can't put anything on that verge or the city will remove it. They're all just ways of local councils making everything worse to save a buck, with the added bonus of having lovely unmaintained public areas when owners go AWOL. Lady's pissed that she had to take care of something then realize it was all for naught. I would be too if it was a whole fuckin' tree instead of a few seconds extra of lawnmowing.

They could be hissing or trying to square up to him and he was just confused. Managed to survive regardless by virtue of being the largest moggie anyone had ever seen. Just lived for hunting though, and took out hares and herring gulls. I once saw him try and stalk a cow, but quickly worked out that was a bad idea when the cow started trying to sniff and paw at him.

I think it's safe to separate the art from the artist in that case, as the works show no taint of their evils. Know what they did before or after the reading doesn't add any new insights into the work, fortunately. Those two are simmering in a warm place while kids get to read cool stories and not think twice about it.

Neito posted:Why is "Give me your kid" such a common thing? Like, I can understand "Give me your car", I can almost understand "Give me your house", but "Give me your kid" is just insane to me. It's probably because I see a kid as a human being with a soul and a connection and a thing that loves and can be loved, and the real answer is "You're not a psychopath who views kids as a checklist item and property at best", but loving hell. Reddit moves in big fashionable waves, if someone posts a mundane thing that does well (eg 'I found a cat, what shall I name him guys?' or 'I just quit my job and told off my boss') there'll be a surge of copycats with variable quality/effort. These relationship subforums -AITA especially- have their local writer's lobby that are always hard up for inspiration, might as well poach someone else's topic.

Arsenic Lupin posted:FTFY. For an undergrad to make trouble for a senior professor in her department while she's still in his department is extremely dangerous. Academia is vicious. There was a story just last week that the woman who created the mRNA virus pissed off her research supervisor by taking another job, so he called the INS to try to get her deported. She's 20, and an undergrad. Most tutors that I know of tend to be graduates or at least reasonably seasoned in the field, so I think it's safe to say that she's not currently on a career path other than what her degree might get her. gently caress that professor, burn dem bridges you'd never have crossed. And the thing is, all she wanted to do was walk away from a guy who took rejection too hard, but everyone keeps chasing back up to her and stirring up more poo poo. Imbeciles.

EIDE Van Hagar posted:Boom, 90% laid before 22. This annoys me greatly. I mean, besides the whole moving goalposts thing (5% @ 20 is a red flag (when it's actually a 3:1 split, oh whooooops) to 22 is the red flag, when its still 9:1) , there's the whole comical thing of trying to label 1/10th of a population's curve as outliers. 10% Does not make you an outlier for *anything* pop-metrics related. Blood types B+ and O- are each 10% locally, home owners-by-age, marriage rates, multifamilial homes, cultural norms, the list goes on forever. I've pinged a family member who's a professional in the field for her opinion on it, I'm willing to wager that its much less than 1:20. Meantime, who the gently caress is shaming people in this day and age for being 'leftovers'? Clearly, there must be something wrong with them!

Beachcomber posted:However "You ruined my wedding." isn't really a joke, it's just abuse. What?! Bride made no comments about gf's appearance, gf unprompted brought it up, bride made a dismissive joke that was interpreted by all present as being facetious. If the bride has responded with "Who cares, forget about it!" would the accusation be she's dismissing the concerns of others, and gaslighting? If you go looking for abuse you'll find it everywhere. That point that's brought up often is bang-on here: This version of events (assuming true, yadda yadda) written by the OP paints them in the most flattering light. He and his gf still come off as self-centered navel-gazers trying to find umbrage at normal conversation. And that's before the whole "chasing down people on their honeymoon so you can start petty fights" thing.
