I genuinely don't know why some people choose to keep dating the kind of guy whose mom thinks she's your romantic rival

I think a number of women out there just have really low self esteem

Not being American, I didn't even know that this was a thing lol. But why though????

The money from slavery allowed the masters to develop some very fancy estates, I imagine

In most of the QR code restaurants I've been to, there's still a wait staff that takes your order, so even if you don't have a smartphone, you can ask the server and they can sort of rattle off a few of the staples.

I know you're making a joke, but the food delivery roombas are absolutely a thing that exists in restaurants. I went to a sushi conveyor belt place a couple weeks ago that has these sorts of robots to deliver special orders. They have little cat-eye emojis and an output screen listing off what it's doing at any given moment ("delivering food to Table 15", "returning to kitchen" or whatever). The restaurant still has a greeter to show you to your table, bussers to clean tables, cooks in the back, etc but no human is involved with the actual serving process of transporting the food from the kitchen to the table...so we're not quite at that hellscape restaurant you're describing yet, but it's at least visible on the horizon.

Here's what they look like by the way, in case anyone's curious:

I went to a conveyor sushi restaurant in Bellevue, Washington that had one of those a couple weeks back

Food was pretty mediocre but the prices were good. OTOH maybe they have such low prices from the robots taking jobs...

Behold: the healing power of utter indifference

AITA because I didn't act sad when my soon to be ex passed away in a car accident.

Why aren't you sobbing and crying and rending your garments that the ex- who cheated on you is dead?!?

I'd probably not go to that funeral, personally

Have other content instead, let’s change the topic.

She's a real genius.



Just in case anyone was wondering why he never formed a loving relationship with the woman who raised him from a young age. But you were all probably expecting something like this.

I feel like in most of these kinds of cases if the step mom would just keep a healthy respect for the birth mom's place in their kid's life and be a solid source of support outside of that, they'd probably get the love they want

I guess they're too desperate to see that, or to exercise that kind of patience

:lol: at it being a first date too, it takes a special kind of mental handicap to think that behavior is gonna fly

It also might be a low-pass filter for spinelessness in the way of heavily misspelled Nigerian Prince scam emails are for gullibility. She might only be looking for someone she can really push around and this guy didn't pass muster

Always fascinates me when someone who breaks up with someone else is accused of being controlling for it

Do they think "you are not a part of my life anymore" is an unreasonable degree of control for a person to exercise?

My friend used to work IT at a law firm where the female dress code is skirts and heels, no exceptions. She told them to go gently caress themselves and they did.

Can you elaborate on how they hosed themselves, like were there cascading consequences of her walking or did the fold

Genuine question, how much of the time are strippers willingly loving at parties like this? Is that not just a pornography thing? I just find it unbelievable that the strippers would be that game, especially when you apply the rule of "imagine every much fatter and uglier than you think"

But I've been naive before

Assuming the story isn't fictional the "friend" may have intentionally hired sex workers who don't draw the line at stripping

This girl found the one person with a PhD that doesn’t demand everyone address them as “Doctor so-and-so” and she’s blowing it :negative:

…”another” loan? :whitewater:

Every one of my friends who went to grad school and got a PhD and every professor I worked for in academia preferred to be on a first name basis, I've never actually personally known a PhDoctor who insisted on the title

I have two completely opposite Dr. title stories. The first was the high school principal we had for a year. She required everyone, students parents and teachers, to call her by her full title. She was just as pleasant as she sounded and I think the teachers had a fun night out when she was finally shitcanned.

The second was probably the chillest professor I had in college. He taught computer science and engineering classes and I think I learned more from him than anyone else. He also had a doctorate but only wanted people to call him by his first name because, I poo poo you not, his late name was Doom. drat was hard to not call him Dr. Doom.

So you called him Victor, or maybe Vic?
