Megillah Gorilla posted:The fact that anti-preggo OP is a woman may be the most shocking thing ever posted in this thread. I had my doubts during the last paragraphs with its "feeeeeemaaaaaales", but the rest of it is nothing I haven't heard from other women before. And unfortunately it's not like her reasoning is entirely wrong. OP is a loving moron for getting herself so worked up over a non-issue, especially since everybody else seems to be on board with the changes, but I've heard male colleagues talk openly about how they wouldn't hire women of a certain age-range, because all they'd do was get pregnant and make life hard for everyone. It's becoming less common, but it's still there, and especially if OP is a bit older, she may very well have had to hide her own issues from male colleagues and thinks this is how it should be.

Peaceful Anarchy posted:Pancakes are at least tier 3. Can confirm, a friend's roommate once left his hard boiled eggs alone for about two hours and all the water evaporated. She heard an explosion from the kitchen and found pieces of egg stuck to her door. He still ate it. As for pancakes, no idea how he did it, but my husband's sole attempt to make them left him with tiny pieces of pancakes because he couldn't figure out how to flip them. He also turned on the wrong plate and managed to melt my handmixer.

Algol Star posted:I'm sorry he couldn't deal with the idea of a sperm donor but was happy with his wife sleeping with some dudes and then getting back together? It's gotta be something like he'd be legally responsible for a child by a sperm donor, right? Wife has children via sperm donation, he's the father and has to pay for the kids, wife has children from other men, he can choose exactly how much he wants to engage with them. He only got back together with her after she'd dealt with the pregnancies and early baby years herself.

Funky See Funky Do posted:It's just a matter of different cultures having different preoccupations. I found it strange at first but I adapted. As the saying goes "When in Rome don't bother to knock 'cause there's no lock." If European toilet door etiquette freaks you out then their urinal etiquette will blow your mind. The urinal etiquette of leaving one space open between bathroom goers? Because I somehow doubt that's unique to Europe. Also, European here, and the only bathroom without a lock I've ever seen was in my old apartment where the previous tenant apparently made off with all the indoor keys and the landlord didn't give a gently caress.

And if she's okay with other women sending him nudes, she should also be okay with him sleeping with them, not much of a difference there. Or maybe everybody is allowed to decide for themselves where their boundaries are.

His actions as described were definitely justified - his wife was too drunk to even speak for herself and her friend wanted to carry her off with three strangers. Problem is, he seems to be entirely fixated on the idea that there's something she's not telling him (i.e. she hosed someone else while drunk), instead of all the insanity surrounding this story. I mean, the wife was apparently unable to remember anything after a certain point, and her coworker after calling the police and blowing up her phone is now calling him to threaten him, and his only takeaway is that this probably means his wife is lying?

Best of both worlds: Having a unique name, but it kind of sounds like two more common names, so everybody over forty always calls you by those names and you constantly get confused with the kids with those names.

wheatpuppy posted:Someone here on SA recently theorized that she was pulling her hair back to wring the water out of it. I always figured she grabbed her hair and moved it behind her shoulders, like you do when you don't want it in your face. That would be the same movement as if she was going to put it into a ponytail, but wouldn't result in a ponytail, so that's why he calls it pretending. A normal person would have just said she moved her hair out of her face. (In case it turns out nobody else does this, I don't have a brother and my mom has never used water to weigh me, but if she did I probably wouldn't enjoy it.)

pentyne posted:My (28F) husband (30M) wants to get rid of our fridge. I like having a fridge. That's a new one... As usual with conspiracies, I think most of the stuff is at least partially true. We'll have to wait for the really weird stuff to appear. quote:He has been showing me articles about how many ingredients don't actually need to be refrigerated, contrary to popular perception and what the food industry tells us (apparently commercially sold mayonnaise is acidic enough to prevent bacteria growth?). As for the acidity, mayonnaise has a pH of 4.5, which will keep away some of the bacteria. Others are tolerant of an acidic environment. Some of them even prefer it. There's a lot of different bacteria out there. Although I'd guess that the first thing that will happen to the mayonnaise will actually be that the emulsion destabilizes. That's probably the best-case scenario, because it's clearly visible and looks ugly, and at the same time isn't dangerous by itself, so maybe they'll learn that they do need the fridge? quote:He says the agriculture industry intentionally removes protective coating from eggs so people have to refrigerate them, but it's okay if we buy from a small farm. It's definitely possible to live without a fridge and still live safely. The main attraction of fridges is that they allow you to store food for longer. If you didn't have a fridge, you'd have to buy a lot of things daily fresh, and you'd probably need to throw out a lot more food. Not sure how you'd handle butter for example, but I guess a cellar would do for a lot of things? Of course, with the conspiracy husband, he's definitely not going to change his lifestyle, and will probably eat the stuff gone bad to prove that Big Fridge is a lie. quote:He keeps talking about "Big Fridge" as if that is a powerful and dangerous industry like Big Oil or Big Pharma.

A lot of things are weird with ten bridesmaids expected to pay 600$ each for the honor of standing next to the bride in pictures. I would say that the income from the bridesmaids alone would pay for the wedding, but we all know the actual costs here are in the six-digit range.

Invisible Clergy posted:I'm familiar with the concept of pre-cleaning before a cleaner arrives from sitcoms, but was unaware that it was a thing people did in real life. If you guys don't mind my asking, what kinds of tasks do you do yourselves, and what is left for the cleaner when they get there? I've never hired a cleaner, earlier, primarily due to lack of funds, and currently, due to the plague, but my chief hangup was that I'd need to decide where to put away all my clutter and then tell them, and at that stage, it seemed easier to do it myself. My grandmother cleans as much as she can, because she doesn't want the cleaner to think she's a slob. She still needs someone to come because she is 86 years old and legitimately can't do some things, but you better believe she's cleaning the house the day before. I'm guessing normal people would do some pre-cleaning, like checking the house to see if there's anything that looks slobby, dirty dishes, clothes, etc.

Smirking_Serpent posted:AITA for not being godmother to my niece because I can't talk about my poly relationship? This one is just so weird, why can't she just wear her wedding ring? People will see that and assume she's married, done. I guess the relatives know she's not married? Or it's obvious from her last name? In which case they... wouldn't assume she was married. I fail to see how anybody would jump to "Clearly this woman must be in a bisexual poly triad!" just from that.

Invisible Clergy posted:What exactly was the argument against universal paternity tests whenever it came up? Seems like they'd forestall a lot of situations like the one OP's going through and prevent any switched at birth type scenarios to boot. Aside from the whole only outing women's cheating stuff, wouldn't it also be the same issue as with the whole mandatory drug screening for people on food stamps stuff? As in, a lot of effort and additional costs for the sole purpose of punishing the few people who abuse the system? The majority of people on food stamps use them to buy food, the majority of pregnant women tell the truth about their child's father. Forcing everybody to take the test is putting them all under suspicion for the sake of catching a few outliers. And it's not as if either test would actually solve the problem it detects. People would just find ways around the paternity test in the same way they work around drug screenings. And in both cases, a false positive could potentially ruin an innocent person's life.

I didn't find out about the cancer risk reduction until years later, when my obgyn explained it to me.

Sillybones posted:Okay, but is it racist to be more afraid of a group of black strangers in the street than a group of white strangers in the street? It definitely is. The thing is, the OP was right about dangerous black men being a common stereotype in the media, so most white people, especially women, will actually do this subconsciously. It sounds like OP is aware of that fact, but instead of recognizing this as stupid and trying to work around it, they seem to use it as an explanation for why they are justified in avoiding groups of black men. That's the racist part.
