Does anyone remember the really long multi-post saga where (as I recall) OP's girlfriend had been sexually assaulted, and afterward the GF's family told OP he wasn't allowed to touch her because she was so fragile, and the GF's therapist essentially told him that to be supportive, he needed to let GF date other people, and when Reddit finally convinced him to break up with her, GF was like "But you're the one who didn't want to touch me anymore!" and also the therapist was evil? Does anyone have a link or links to that whole thing?

I do remember that post. I'll go dig for it. AITA for calling out my dad in public after he said the n-word? quote:So the other day my dad and I were attending a block party within the neighborhood, where we usually have music playing. Everyone was getting comfortable in their chairs (6 feet apart of course) when The Box started playing. As soon as the song started playing, my dad, who was sitting right next to me, told just me “rappers are saying “the n-word” and just making it harder on black culture”. I was completely furious how he could say this to me especially considering the fact that one of the families attending the party was black, so I stood up and called him out on it. Of course, all of our neighbors were completely mortified at my dads behavior and as a result we had to leave the party early. My dad and i got home and he told me that i overreacted and created a lovely image for him. Granted, he wasn’t aiming the word at a specific person, but i still thought it was extremely rude for him to say it. AITA?

therobit posted:If they wanted to keep her shed, greenhouse, planters, etc then they should have approached her about it when she was making the improvements and offered to deduct materials and labor from the rent. That's not unusual. But LOL at assuming a renter doesn't take their chattel with them. The silliest and most obvious stupidity about their assumption is she didn't plant any of her stuff in the ground and made no actual permanent changes to their yard besides soil, so I'm not sure why in the heck they expected their renter who is extremely serious about her hobby and probably put thousands upon thousands of dollars into it would just leave all of her stuff for free.

Evil Willow posted:I love that she did all the work herself, with things that could fairly easily be relocated. If the landlord wanted to keep the garden as it was, maybe they should have offered to pay for all of the things OP bought, plus paid for the labor it would have taken to put everything together. I absolutely love that she took everything with her! This is what I'm doing at the place I'm renting. It's got a huge backyard that is nice on its own but I'm doing some additional work to it, and it's all removable. We plan on buying the house when it comes up for sale but there's no guarantee that it will, or that it will be a price we're willing to pay, or that we'll still want it after it gets inspected, so it's all removable, and we're not making any permanent improvements until we own the place. I'm doing this specifically so that if we move out, I can relocate the raised beds and greenhouse, and so there's no damage to the property when I do. It sounds like the work she's doing is much more extensive than mine (and even mine is a pain in the rear end and expensive), so that landlord can go ahead and gently caress right off. If his property value went up due to her improvements, he can offer to pay her for her time, expense, and effort so she can create another garden oasis in her next place. But also be prepared for a no--sounds like she's proud of her work and she should be.

She sucks because she says she deliberately plays it up to provoke the DIL. So yes, she bears responsibility for fully channeling the southern passive aggressive instead of defusing conflict maturely.

Soylent Pudding posted:She sucks because she says she deliberately plays it up to provoke the DIL. So yes, she bears responsibility for fully channeling the southern passive aggressive instead of defusing conflict maturely. It's her house the DIL is freeloading in, there should be zero question of who is the one who needs to change their behavior. Yeah being overly doting or w/e playing it up entails is obviously petty but the only reason that's an issue anyways is because DIL is can't even follow her own ideology and respect other women's choices for how they want to live their life. The ESH verdict is typically when both parties suck close to equally, when the OP posts "some guy saw me waiting with my signal on for a parking spot but swooped in and took it, so I got out of the car and beat the poo poo out of him" people don't go "ESH" because the guy who stole the spot was also an rear end in a top hat, they go YTA because the beating someone up was so far and beyond the bigger rear end in a top hat. In this case the OP is being a bit childish/petty but it's in a fairly benign way that's directly in response to a way bigger problem, maybe she should be the bigger lady or whatever but hell she doesn't have to deal with them in the first place and could just tell them to go pound sand. It's clear who's the substantially bigger rear end in a top hat here and it's not the lady that wore the "gift" that someone went out of their way to buy to be an intentionally condescending and assholish move.

Dienes posted:Hope this hasn't already been posted: Reddit thread has a lot of fun with what goes into pet food. Interesting thing is, cats and dogs are obligate carnivores, their bodies are set up to digest things in ways humans can't, and vice versa. Pet food has its own sets of standards, and is made to fill their nutritional needs- and those standards are completely different from the ones for human food, even if they were equally stringent. Funny thing is, the idea of dedicated pet food is apparently pretty recent, a lot of cultures would just give their pets the same food the humans of the household had.

I've heard that cat/dog food does need to be fit for human consumption, but I don't know if that was apocryphal or something. It was a long time ago, but it was something like "back in the Great Depression, the really broke people would buy cheap dog food for themselves, so now pet food has to pass human food inspection levels."

Peaceful Anarchy posted:Because people read between the lines and between her obvious disdain for her liberal feminist DIL and her southern pride there's an incredibly strong chance she's a lovely person. She's not the rear end in a top hat in this particular interaction but she probably is in general in their relationship. But it's true we can't know that for sure. It's amazing how people manage to read between the lines when it's in service of their world view or personal politics. If the lady wants to live an old school homemaker life then that's her business and her daughter in law shouldn't be trying to shame her. Openly mocking or haranguing someone while you accept their goodwill is pretty lovely.

It'd still be a lovely thing to only feed them vegetarian food but they can survive on it; cats flat out can't. Edit: I tried cat kibble as a six year old myself. If I recall correctly, it was pretty drat good.

Ghost Leviathan posted:Reddit thread has a lot of fun with what goes into pet food. Dogs aren't obligate carnivores, and their digestive system has likely even been shaped to some extent through how they were domesticated. Cats are, though! I think we'd be hard-pressed to find something in pet food that we couldn't digest. But a diet of solely kibble is likely nutritionally inadequate for humans, and kibble will often have ingredients like "meat byproducts" typically include things like stomach, brain, kidneys, bone, etc. that we would consider gross. A couple bits of kibble aren't going to cause the kid harm, beyond the social stigma of being Kibble Kid.

He issue with her DIL isn't that she's judgmental and overbearing; that would be entirely fair. She resents her for being "liberal and feminist" while also playing up her own southern pride and love of beauty pageants. It's a pretty safe bet that she has a lot of regressive views that she's made well known to anyone under her roof.
