The adults weren't eating enough cupcakes, so he came up with an expedient way to finish the gender reveal. It'll be a cute story one day.

The highest level of Scientology is where they point out that they're a registered charity, and if you give them $1 million, they'll tell the IRS that you donated $10 million and get you a massive tax break. This is why so many Hollywood celebrities believe in this obvious bullshit. They have charity status because when the government started asking questions in the 70s, the Church harassed their agents so badly that the United States simply gave up trying to control them.

PetraCore posted:I'm not tiny, I eat when I'm hungry but I think I can start feeling hungry earlier than normal or pack down larger portions than is healthy before I feel sated. And that story is horrific and baffling. Does that guy simply not feel sated anymore? Even if he's like, twice my weight, how does he not feel full? I've heard of people who have errors in the signalling pathway that cause satiation so they're always hungry and need caretakers rationing out food for them because they'll never naturally hit a feeling of satiation, but I didn't realize it was something you could gently caress up so far on your own. I have binge eating disorder, and there's a point when I'm overeating where I feel queasy and stuffed and the only thing that relieves it is eating more food. I've never eaten that much around other people though, because it's mortifying when someone notices how much I can eat. I feel for party sub guy, but he needs to own up on his problem with food and work on overcoming it or he'll be in a Rascal scooter by age 40.

Smirking_Serpent posted:AITA for buying a $50,000 guitar for $4,000 and refusing to sell it back when the buyer found out the real value? In the Magic: The Gathering community, it would be a huge dick move to screw someone who doesn't know any better by offering $4 for a $50 card. This is the same thing times 1000, so OP is definitely the rear end in a top hat. Unfortunately, the guitar owner is legally out of luck and it sounds like he took it badly, which led to even more problems for him. Caveat vendor.

I think this cheese derail is missing the point, which is that all cultures have tasty foods that look and sound strange. Traditional American food is what you get from putting English, German, and Italian cooking in a meat grinder so it seems inoffensive to me, but stuff like chitlins, prairie oysters, and sauerkraut probably seem gross to foreigners. I have autism and I hated the texture of beans and pierogies most of my life. When I went for Asian food I'd order steamed rice and the plainest fried chicken. My parents were never able to change what my pickiness, but when I started living on my own and cooking for myself all the time I got a lot more adventurous.

compshateme85 posted:Just out of curiosity, are there states in the US where you can get married at 16 without parental consent? Or did this happen in another country? Apologies if I missed this. There are thirteen states where the minimum age is 12, with the consent of a court clerk or if the girl is pregnant. In this case it helped OP escape her situation with a friend who clearly cares a lot and is an amazing person. But this area of law is horrible in the US, especially the South, where grown men can legally get a middle schooler pregnant because being married retroactively makes it not rape. The girls are usually under massive family pressure to either get married or be disowned. If she tries to leave her husband, she is a juvenile runaway and the police will return her to him. Some conservative churches are fighting to make sure these laws don't change.

pentyne posted:Being married or paying your way/having a share is not the same as cohabitating and then imposing rules on the person who is paying the bills. It sounds like they were cohabitating for a while before she tried to introduce this rule. He met her halfway by making vegan food, and now she wants him to stop eating meat at home which would be most of his meals. Maybe she's just grossed out - I'm vegan and I know that after a couple years, meat stops looking like food and seems more like a dead rat in the fridge. Or maybe she decided she can't spend the rest of her life with an omnivore, so she's trying to ease him into it, but if that's the problem she needs to tell him openly.

Yeah, I've also never understood the description of "depth perception" because having both eyes open looks the same as one eye open. But I'm fairly good at sports and if I lack normal depth perception wouldn't that be a problem? I'm curious about what the difference is and how this author so vividly described it.

cock hero flux posted:it's obviously a real thing in that you can hurt or kill a baby by shaking it but I honestly can't tell why it'd be considered a syndrome. Maybe I'm being stupid or missing something here but isn't that like saying that someone has "Hit by a car Syndrome" or "Kicked in the nuts Disorder"? A syndrome is a group of symptoms that often occur together, and two shaken babies will have more in common with each other than two people hit by cars. Acute radiation syndrome is similar, it has a physical cause and the symptoms are similar in anyone who gets it so it's called a syndrome.

Dumping trash in the river for a before and after shot seems stupid, but not exactly assholish.
