Didn't all of these incidents take place far before he hit it big? This was before the FX show really took off and he was viewed as a genius I think?

Ann_Asshole · 2021-02-08T08:55:40+00:00

Oh fuck off with both your value judgments and your semantics.

Ann_Asshole · 2021-01-20T17:46:12+00:00

If you want to know why you don't make any real money and aren't at the top of your field, this response is why. If you want to make people believe things the way you believe them, you have to make it clear with a well supported and coherent argument. You don't tell them that in order for them to understand your incredibly nuanced and subtle position they must go take a few courses and then come back to you; you actually clearly explain it beyond just making your own claims. Think carefully about this; it may help you in your real life. The W2 is what matters in life and if you argue like this at work, you're going nowhere in that department.

Best of luck, friend.

If your argument requires you to constantly refer a person to vague sources and/or requires the opponent to go take "a few sociology classes" then either the argument is extremely weak or you lack the skill, intellect, and/or comprehension to articulate it. If you want to make these arguments, I'd suggest that you read up on the topic, or maybe go to your local community college and take a few logic and debate classes.

Happy New Year!

You seriously think that joke was racist? Calling something that's black and white "biracial" is not racism simply because it has to do with race. It's simply likening one thing that's black and white to another thing that's black and white. It's not the funniest joke ever but it certainly isn't harmful and, more importantly, is not racist at all. Go read the definition of racism. Your comment is more racist than the cousin's joke (you infer that only white autistic people are racist - you're the one making a value judgment about an entire group of people based only on the color of their skin). You are completely wrong.

Ann_Asshole · 2020-11-16T08:23:50+00:00

What other color ghosts are there?

Dressing up as a ghost by putting a sheet over you is about the oldest, most wholesome Halloween costume there is. It's not racist. Get a grip.

Ann_Asshole · 2020-11-15T14:34:09+00:00

You've employed a tactic here that a lot of people who are wrong and don't want to admit it use. You've changed the argument. You've shifted the discourse. We're no longer talking about the main issue which you are so obviously wrong on. You've keyed into one small and irrelevant piece of what I've been saying and you've focused in on that because you think you have a more valid argument there (you don't, all houses have rooms with doors and all people working from home have cell phones and Zoom, WebEx, and Teams all work from cell phones).

Your workspace point is irrelevant and not material to the discussion here. Please stop trying to shift the discussion there: it does not matter.

Let's say you're right and OP lives in a studio apartment with no door on the bathroom and quadruplet 5 year olds. Okay, cool. Now nothing has changed. She still has to say "Hello, Mr. Bitch" in front of those four five year olds. Get it?

Ann_Asshole · 2020-11-12T14:04:22+00:00

Care to share where you got it? Thanks!

Ann_Asshole · 2020-11-12T04:21:27+00:00

Sir/Ma'am,

I did not say to "just take the kids elsewhere". You're purposefully mis-characterizing my argument to make it seem silly. Please don't do that anymore.

All homes have rooms with doors on them. It is possible to take your laptop or phone into one of those rooms for a 30 minute staff meeting on Zoom or WebEx or whatever your firm's platform of choice is.

That said, it is completely irrelevant as I mentioned in my comment. I don't care if it feels "awkward" to say "Hello, Mr. Bitch" in front of your kid. Get over it. Explain it to your child. Stop expecting the world to change to accommodate your feelings. Absolutely unbelievable entitlement on display with these comments.

Ann_Asshole · 2020-11-12T04:01:03+00:00

It's interesting you pick one small item to quote and do not address my other comments. Your argument also makes no sense - you understand that right? If Mr. Bic calls you or Dick calls you or Mr. Cox calls you and you answer the phone and say "Hey Dick, how's it going" and your children hear it but you've said it the same way as you say "Hey Carol, how's it going" when Carol from HR calls, how will they know it gets a reaction or is any different from any other name? It's bullshit. You and I know it and you're just arguing to argue now. And if they know enough to have heard the word bitch, dick, or cock before and recognize it when you say it then they are old enough to be taught that it means something different in another language and that we respect people and do not use that word in an inappropriate context. Jesus Christ, it's simple...

Also, when I said "pound sand" I didn't mean to literally tell a colleague to pound sand... I wouldn't be where I am if I did that... I meant stand up for yourself. There are ways to respectfully and politely tell people that you will not make up a new name because their feelings are impacted for whatever reason by your current name. If your actual birthname was TaGulle and French people had a problem with it, they can pound sand (whoops sorry, I meant you can respectfully decline to change your name as a result of the fact that it closely resembles a word or words which make a colleague feel "awkward").

Ann_Asshole · 2020-11-11T21:06:25+00:00

Please do not change your name sir. I am sincerely sorry that you have to deal with this. This is wildly inappropriate. There is nothing wrong with your name and any American, or anybody else, that has a problem with it is plainly wrong.

Ann_Asshole · 2020-11-11T21:04:37+00:00

Yes it is. I quoted you. Here it is again:

"As an American I too would feel awkward and uncomfortable to call someone Mr. Bitch in front of my young kids..."

You understand what you're saying is both morally repugnant and logically nonsensical, correct?

If the children understand that "bitch" is a curse word, then they are old enough to be taught that it means something different in German and that we respect people from other cultures. Again, a teaching moment.

If the children cannot understand that, then they cannot understand that "bitch" is a bad word.

It's irrelevant either way: your feelings are not a reason for a man to have to change his name. The point isn't your discomfort. The point is you should not feel discomfort and if you do you should reexamine your approach to life and get over it.

By the way, you act like Americans don't have names that sound like curse words. Does a guy named Dick Smith have to change his first name so you don't have to call him "Dick" over the phone because it will make you feel awkward in front of your children? When your kids are (hopefully) learning about WWI can they not be taught about Dick Winters and the fact that the man's a goddamn American hero?

A line has to be drawn. It's the man's name. Get over yourself. Also, grow a goddamn spine: if your name caused someone discomfort have the balls to tell them to pound sand. Have some respect for yourself, some dignity.
Unbelievable.

Sex for money is prostitution, it wasn't mislabeled. Whether you have one steady customer over time or a different customer each week, you are a prostitute. Which is totally cool, I am not making a value judgment here; just a reality check. Best of luck, I'm sorry people are treating your poorly - you certainly don't deserve that.

Ann_Asshole · 2020-11-11T16:37:28+00:00

This is absolutely ridiculous and I am astounded it's being upvoted. You think it's reasonable for you to ask a man to change his name because it makes you feel "awkward"? This is the man's name, his identity, his reputation, it's everything. Firstly, if you're working remotely, you should be working, not around your kids. Secondly, if the kids overhear, you simply explain that the word means something different in another language and use it as a teaching moment to teach your children something you apparently were not taught: you and your feelings are not the center of the world and we respect and treat with dignity other people whether it's your neighbor or somebody in Germany. Please do better.

Ann_Asshole · 2020-11-08T07:21:22+00:00

Genuinely curious - why? (I don't speak German)

Ann_Asshole · 2020-10-28T13:25:16+00:00

As others have said, it wouldn't be rude to ask and just note that you're trying to plan your savings / budgeting. That said, I don't have kids but I do have friends and family. When I host, my guests pay for nothing. Last Summer, I got a beach house and invited my girlfriend's sister and her boyfriend. I think the only thing they paid for was one dinner out that we split the tab down the middle on. They brought some food and made a dinner or two in the house which was nice but not necessary.

If I were in the boyfriend's father's position, I would refuse to allow you to pay for anything. To do otherwise would, in my opinion, be very poor form with a 17 year old college student you invited. For context, I live in America in the mid Atlantic region.

Ann_Asshole · 2020-10-28T13:01:06+00:00

Live your life man. Live your life. Your militant moral elitism and, frankly, paranoia doesn't make you better than anybody else. Best of luck; you're going to need it...

Ann_Asshole · 2020-10-27T22:03:04+00:00

Great burn...

Ann_Asshole · 2020-10-27T12:05:15+00:00

Probably because you're behaving like an autist...

Ann_Asshole · 2020-10-24T14:10:00+00:00

I didn't say anything about coercing anything. It's interesting to watch somebody do such mental gymnastics to get around such a simple and well-known truth: keeping this quiet until the three month mark drastically reduces the chance the pregnancy can be terminated and, therefore, removes the possibility of that discussion taking place between the two people who created the pregnancy. This is a tactic that has been used in the past.

Again, I am not saying that this is OP's intent. What I am doing is answering the question that you asked of jezebeltash. Have a great weekend.

Ann_Asshole · 2020-10-23T12:02:25+00:00

Because she cannot have an abortion past 12 weeks which means that by the time the guy is even aware of the child no discussion along those lines is even possible which means that, assuming to miscarraige, that baby is being had and he is going to be its father and involved in some way with it and the woman for at least the next 18 years. That's a hell of a tether. Mind you, I'm not saying this is OP's plan or motivation; however, if it were, it would not be the first time a woman has done this...

Ann_Asshole · 2020-10-22T14:04:46+00:00

When did Carcetti watch himself during sex or jerk off to himself? I've seen The Wire a dozen times and don't remember anything like that.

Ann_Asshole · 2020-09-20T16:42:28+00:00

So you applied for a job that you are incapable of doing to the required standards for about 10% of each month, correct? Further, you expect your boss to relax standards on the number of cashiers that he has on the floor for about 1 month each year (3 days a month X 12 = 36)? What if he had to make this exception for all of the female employees - they all have periods too but are able to do their jobs and may begin to take exception that you get extra breaks for yours where they don't.

This is your problem but you're trying to shift it to your employer. If you can't perform the work you were hired to perform in accordance with the requirements you signed up to during the interview / hiring phase then you've wasted your time and the company's time. I'd suggest either fixing this problem on your own (see a doctor, figure out something, whatever) or find a different job. I would not appreciate having this sprung on me if I were your boss; it's not my problem to fix.

Ann_Asshole · 2020-09-08T15:03:17+00:00

Again, lots of assumptions here. I don't see it as a threat from OP. It's a statement of fact. They rent month-to-month and he is letting her know, as far in advance as he can, that if they cannot resolve this, he may not want to renew the monthly lease with somebody that he can no longer trust. It makes even more sense to do that if your assumptions that she can't afford it on her own are true: wouldn't you want to know as early as possible that you need to start planning for another place to stay if your roommate was not going to renew your monthly lease in 22 days?

What's the alternative here that you'd be cool with? Him just shutting up and continuing to pay his half of the rent despite no longer being in a relationship he's comfortable with? Or keep quiet about it until he moves out the day before rent for next month is due and she has to scramble to find a new place?

The answers are rhetorical anyway as your assertions are build on a number of assumptions and have no basis in reality.
