Farming/victory gardening/homesteading discussion is very interesting. AITA for telling my wife to gain weight instead of having me pay for a boob job? quote:My wife doesn't like the size of her breast and never has. When we first met that was probably her biggest insecurity. Five years later apparently it has not gotten any better. She wants me to pay so she could get a boob job, and we have a one year old.

This cracked.com (lol) article (double lol) also has some insight into the bland tomatoes sold in stores: https://www.cracked.com/article_24741_americas-tomatoes-taste-like-garbage-because-racism.html The short of it is that some dude at UC Davis chucked tomatoes at the road and bred the ones that survived unscathed, with no regard for flavor, so that they could be picked by machines instead of by hand, and so now we have poo poo tomatoes grown commercially.

AITA for cursing out the school bus driver? quote:I was on the school bus and our school bus driver is such a bitch. She for no reason will try to separate people from sitting next to each other usually if its a boy and a girl sitting in the same row. She says its "inappropriate" and that they hsouldnt be so close together. This type of bullshit is why my friend's left Jehovah's witness. Anyways i see Kelly, one of my best friends crying and she sits in a seat thats a row to my left and 2 behind me. This happened about maybe 5-10 minutes after the bus left the school. I left my seat (which was next to Daniel, who i normally sit next to) and i go over to kelly and I give her a hug and i ask her if she's ok. The bus driver sees it and stops the bus. She said what i did was inappropriate and that i can't sit next to her.

My (22f) boyfriend (26m) thinks that working as a server in a high-end strip club is the same as having sex with other people. I reconnected with a highschool friend about a month ago who I currently a dancer in our best local strip club. It's pretty high end and she told me she makes ~1k a night. I said I would not be okay dancing but I would be a server and she told me to apply and that the servers still make decent money. I asked my boyfriend if he would be okay with me working in a strip club without specific details about the friend and he originally said that he wouldn't care. Well I've thought about it and I told him a few days ago that I was going to apply. I lost my job due to the shut down and figured this would be an easy way to recoup expenses lost. He... was.. pissed. He said if I'm going to work as a server I might as well be stripping and that if I'm going to get all that attention from men, he wanted to be able to talk tp and have sex with other women too. I was blown away. I told him I'm not touching them or giving them lap dances or anything. I'm only serving and im not even nude. He said not yet. I don't know what to think and honestly I feel pretty disrespected. He told me he was okay with it. I asked my mom and she thinks it was a pretty disgusting response too. What do you think? Do any of you have girlfriends working in strip clubs?

MagusofStars posted:I’d bet the reason they fired the driver is because other kids’ parents complained about the bus driver making everybody sit around for 20+ minutes (!) during his hissy fit. Her, and I imagine a lot of parents were worried when their kids were coming home late with no explanation too. I had some trouble with substitute bus drivers out in the country, especially when it's normal for kids to walk or ride a long distance to get to their homes. So instead go back to the nearest town and drop the kid off with no further assistance until they have to ask someone to call home. All the talk about liability is completely missing the point where the arbitrary enforcement of rules doesn't make anyone safer and just makes their job harder. (and in this case, leads to no job) I think most people have known the kind of person as a kid who would enforce rules without any regard to actually getting anything done and refuse to actually communicate or look for solutions and make things harder for everyone else.

If a lifeguard's only job is to blow a whistle, then out-of-shape and fat doesn't matter. Lung capacity would matter, I suppose. So, if that's their only job, then person ITA.

Gonna be the odd one out and say NTA because it's for loving lifeguarding. If this was for some warehouse gig, who cares, but when you're expected to drag a lifeless body out of the water you kind of need to be fit.

Hopefully at 17 he faces consequences for how he handled this and learns being short, under/overweight, or lacking muscle does not cause an automatic inability to do a physically demanding task. Meanwhile his “fit” coworkers got no training/reinforcement of those physical skills. Maybe NTA, but a poor decision made out of youth and ignorance. He should at least be rotating people in training roles and observing which individuals are best at certain tasks without letting body type cloud his judgement and train to improve based on that, or placing individuals where they’re best suited on the busiest days.

But yes, just because somebody is a good swimmer doesn't mean they are good trainers and a 17 year old isn't likely to be qualified to be in that role. I'm guessing this is a gig that little care is given about throughout and barely meets the standards to keep the parks open.

Meanwhile his “fit” coworkers got no training/reinforcement of those physical skills. You've gotta be loving joking. It's a loving job requirement to be physically capable of performing life saving rescues? Like, where I live there are specific tests as part of your certification that you must meet to become certified and not being fast enough or strong enough will get you failed. Because otherwise you let people die. Also, I can only imagine being a physically inadequate lifeguard that keeps letting people die being a pretty awful job.

Blitter posted:You've gotta be loving joking. It's a loving job requirement to be physically capable of performing life saving rescues? Yeah. In six years of EMS I’ve seen a ton of calls go sideways because people were so out of shape they couldn’t actually do their jobs. Moving people is physically demanding even outside of water, in water I’m sure it’s even harder. Doing CPR is also crazy strenuous. If you can’t do it properly you’re going to have people die. Either get into shape or do something else.

From the original post:quote:I believe that the standards for who can be a lifeguard are wayyy too low. Some of my coworkers are super overweight, super short/skinny, or just generally have no muscle. I take this to mean that her coworkers have actually passed the required physical fitness tests to be a lifeguard, but she doesn't think the tests are good enough so she took upon herself to push her coworkers up to her standards. Which, since she's been super physically fit since forever, are stupidly high. No, gently caress off. If you think physical requirements are too low, campaign so they get changed, don't do this passive-aggressive bullshit.
