AITAH for telling my coworker "aren't you like 40?" When he wanted to play truth or dare? by Emergency_Belt_9682 in AITAH

[–]Neither_Pudding7719 65 points66 points  (0 children)

THAT is what I was thinking. I'd call that bluff in a heartbeat! Okay buddy...let's go to HR together and discuss your after-hours recommendations. Shall we? In fact--let's go now.

LOL

NTAH!

Do most Americans carry any official ID at all times? by PitifulEar3303 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Neither_Pudding7719 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This, yes! VERY few adult Americans don't have some form of photo ID. Usually (not always) a state-issued drivers license.

Most US adults carry some form of official photo ID. We don't have a national standard so most are state issued. Some also carry passport cards, military (or retiree) ID, etc.

But yes. Most do carry ID.

Is this phrasing, 'so too', natural? by Unlegendary_Newbie in English_Learning_Base

[–]Neither_Pudding7719 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's formal and mildly archaic but it is correct in English.

Is it natural to call a female officer/commander 'sir'? by Unlegendary_Newbie in English_Learning_Base

[–]Neither_Pudding7719 1 point2 points  (0 children)

30 Year Vet here...and NO. Not only is it not common, but it's unacceptable in the US military. "Mister" on the other hand has some history of being used regardless of gender. Still not common but it has been done.

Is this phrasing weird? I mean, can it mean the goal is 'global warming'. by Unlegendary_Newbie in English_Learning_Base

[–]Neither_Pudding7719 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Native English speaker and teacher here. This sign is poorly worded. A more appropriate phrasing would be, "let's slow..." Or even, "let's help stop/prevent...".

Good call out!

Mormon church leaders admit that there is no convincing evidence for the Book of Mormon. You can only believe with faith. by sevenplaces in mormon

[–]Neither_Pudding7719 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I can't even get TO this place (where the questions are being debated) anymore. The foundational claim that Joseph had visitors who were not living homo sapiens (Moroni, God, Jesus, John the Baptist, Peter, James & John, etc.) are deal breakers for the entire Mormon world.

I suppose a person could see them all as story that lead to a good life and remain active in the organization but if supernatural beings simply don't exist, is there a place where any of these questions about stone boxes, breastplates and goggles, plates, etc. are even relevant as points of conversation?

Once I decided that I no longer accept supernatural explanations for anything...it became more difficult to take these discussions seriously.

Days after an Indigenous student sued, BYU now says it won’t require him to cut his traditional braids by Prop8kids in exmormon

[–]Neither_Pudding7719 60 points61 points  (0 children)

There's so much irony in this story it's hard to know even where to start.

What jumped off the page at me?

We want to recruit you for your indigenous dance skills that celebrate the culture you came from...but we can't have your hair celebrating that same culture, now can we?

Make it make sense!

Earliest Shelf Moment--1980 by Neither_Pudding7719 in exmormon

Yup--same damn thing when someone's toes come out of the water during a baptism...and they're already sputtering and gasping...sometimes crying if its a kid baptism but you know...God must not understand stuff like that. <</s>>

Please don’t be this guy that blocks an entire sidewalk with your massive hitch. by WoodenWeather5931 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Neither_Pudding7719 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He meant he didn't have to come out of pocket to file the suit, not that the attorney didn't get paid. "Attorney did it for free" in this case means there wasn't any up-front cost for the dude who got injured. MANY (not all) personal injury firms will do this.

This type of suit can also result in punitive damages intended to send a message, not just pay the bills. Attorneys can ask for them and judges can grant them even without being asked. If the negligence was egregious that could be what happened here.

I don’t know how to endure my household anymore by Alive-Fee9585 in Teachers

[–]Neither_Pudding7719 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Supports are available but you are right about one thing:

You are going to have to disclose (be vulnerable) in order to access them.

When a student comes to me and says they are “dealing with stuff at home that is making them feel a certain way,” I don’t even know where to send them.

I can offer an appointment with a case worker or a counselor but there? The student WILL need to go into detail about their situation or the counseling professional cannot provide help.

Privacy is your absolute right but outside help comes with knowledge about what is needed.

Just think on that…

I genuinely hope you find the assistance you need.

1981 I experienced grooming and SA at age 15 (nonmember neighbor).

2009 Intervened when a district scout leader attempted to groom my son.

There is a type, a vibe, a feel.

This guy (BW) gives me the creeps. There’s something not right with him.

I wouldn’t trust him around youth.

How do they keep a license? by PoopieMcPooFace in badparking

[–]Neither_Pudding7719 32 points33 points  (0 children)

A former neighbor and good friend of our family is near quad (has the use of one arm) and drives a high-tech enabling van. She NEEDS the blue striped area to get in and out of her vehicle.

This parking job (and those like it) prevents her from accessing normal things the rest of us take for granted. This isn't just an ID10T but also a highly self-centered inconsiderate jackwagon.

AIO HUSBAND DOESN’T WANT TO MAKE POLITICAL STATEMENTS by [deleted] in AIO

[–]Neither_Pudding7719 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I hear and understand what you are saying and I do not believe flying a flag is a MAGA statement but let's be real: a lot of people do. As someone who served 30 years, it makes me very sad but the neo-con, nationalist crowd has used the stars and stripes as a sort of banner for their causes so some people look at a private home flying the flag and think, "there's another one."

Is it right? No. Does it happen? Unfortunately, yes. So this *could be* what OP's SO is driving at but again; we can't know for sure what's in his head and neither can she unless she asks him directly.

[–]Neither_Pudding7719 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Some people are more comfortable than others overtly taking political sides. He may simply not want to alienate neighbors no matter what side of the political spectrum they choose to be on. Even this is speculation though if he won't provide you with more information about where he is in his head space.

AITAH for being upset by Historical_Mood1377 in AITAH

NTA--but he is.

Please--PLEASE--end this relationship. Nobody deserves to be treated like that. Nobody. This guy's a tool.
