Sagebrush posted:The little community credit union where my parents banked had such terrible loving security. One time in high school my sister needed money and walked in and said "I'm so and so's daughter but I forgot my bank card" and the manager recognized her, or thought she did, and said oh sure, here's fifty bucks from your dad's account. Dad was understandably livid. I used to do work at a University, and the Iraqi intelligence services used to try and pull this poo poo for all their expat students. Everyone got very careful training not to give any info out to anyone calling in.

GF is definitely a bundle of red flag, but in all fairness obnoxiously loud mechanical keyboards are pretty stupid, especially if you're streaming or sharing a space, and it's definitely an rear end in a top hat move to have one so loud it annoys your partner. In any kind of healthy relationship bf would just buy a quiet mechanical keyboard and sell the old one to a solo living nerd.

Ghost Leviathan posted:The idea of your mother being someone you instinctively call for in times of crisis and can rely on has always been so weird to me. It's pretty common in wartime that a guy that's just had his limbs blown off will call for his mother. With enough stress and pain, you regress right back and your brain reachs for the one thing that solved all your problems back then. Childbirth can be just as traumatic. I was the one taken into the delivery room, but I made sure that my wife knew I would happy for her to take her mother in if that helped her more. The idea of putting your own insecurities over your wife's comfort is just just mind boggling to me. I think that marriage wouldn't have lasted even if the husband hadn't blown it up over this.

If you can't put your ego aside for her benefit, you're failing her as a husband. Being in the delivery room felt great for me, but if it would have made things easier for my MiL to be there instead I would have changed places without hesitation because that's what a good husband should do.

MAKE NO BABBYS posted:Short of an abusive relationship or something truly awful, as the partner that would be the one giving birth, I would NEVER ask my partner to not be present at the birth in favor of someone else because that’s not what a good partner would do. Frankly, that’s super, super hosed up and horrific to me. What's right for you isn't right for everyone, just let mother's pick whoever will give them the most comfort and don't be judgemental about it.

MAKE NO BABBYS posted:Not at all and I’m not a dude. Both parents, barring abuse or something extremely hosed up, deserve to be present at birth, particularly during COVID where one person only is allowed. Since it’s one person allowed, were my husband not allowed in during the whole process, there’s a good chance he wouldn’t see his child until day 2 or 3 of its life and that’s with zero complications. Were there complications and the child died or needs to spend time in say, the NICU, that would be even more EXTREMELY hosed up. The fact that I might want my mommy doesn’t mean anything in the face of the fact that my husband is entitled to be there for the birth of his child. Choosing to have a child is a two way street that involves two people and it’s extremely weird to act like that’s not the case. You get how you're being sanctimonious toward mother's who make a different choice, right? Other people have different methods for handling this, and that's ok.

We've got proper busts of Mark Anthony and he looks fine in them.

Odd posted:Crows and other corvids absolutely will do stuff like this. There was some university that did a thing where people wore Nixon masks and were mean to crows and they started dive-bombing anyone in a nixon mask. They sent a few people out with the masks like 20 years later and the crow grandchildren or whatever STILL KNEW and started attacking them. I had a lecture from this guy, or someone who replicated it. They used a caveman mask to be mean to the crows ( by catching them with a net gun ), and used a Dick Cheney mask as a control. I challenged him that he'd missed an opportunity to train crows to attack Dick Cheney.

Sounds like the lady legit does have PTSD about fireworks, but projecting or proxy-munchausening it onto the kid, or else he's just learning to react from the parent. In either case, dump the boyfriend. They can't have been together long, and he's already ignoring her wishes and treating her with contempt.

pentyne posted:what about quadroon? The US system by contrast was the "one drop" system, where if you had any black ancestor you were legally black. Interesting they also had much more intense anti race mixing sentiments, but I'm not sure if that is because of that rule, or that culture lead to it. The legal history of defining race is amazingly variable between cultures, and every time amazingly stupid.

I think it's an rear end in a top hat move to buy your kid a flash car as it has a 100% percent chance to turn them into an rear end in a top hat. Get in your second hand Ford Fiesta and be happy.  Step-daughter wouldn't have learned anything at college anyway, so the money is better spent teaching her a lesson in responsibility. If she actually learns it, she can go to community college and learn a decent trade. Buy her own Ford Fiesta that way. Ford Fiestas for everyone.

Kicking a bunch of families out of their homes during a pandemic so you can have a mansion to yourself is peak rear end in a top hat behaviour. Probably near the top of what the thread has seen short of the actual negligent homicide cases. No-one other than a few terminally online dipshits who only have meme based opinions is going to give them grief for being a landlord if he's providing it at low cost. The reason people hate landlords is due to them gouging tenants for all they're worth and kicking people out of their home, like this guy is doing.

I had a friend that worked for an unsuccessful bookkeeper, and they told me the owner would stamp and shout behind the scenes if someone had a big win, so I can absolutely believe it. Smart casino owners know a big win is going to go back into their pockets eventually, and draw in more punters, so of course Trump would do the the opposite and wreck the business.
