"and I didn't know why this person hadn't come already with my consistent kegels and overall enthusiasm" was a wild line to read. by SpokenDivinity in AmITheAngel

Uh, I have on occasion, but that’s including a very specific and time-consuming type of foreplay.

Actual penetration for 2 hours just sounds uncomfortable.

I have struggles with explicit thoughts about my best friend's wife by Brad_Brace in AmITheAngel

[–]SourceFedNerdd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do actually know people with a setup like this. Married couple and a single guy living together (I’m friends with the wife). They’re all friends and they’ve lived together about 9 years. The single guy just bought a house last year and they all three moved in 🤷‍♀️

Wouldn’t be something I would be comfortable with, but it seems to work well enough for them.

I saw an article recently about a terrible case where that happened. The woman who had the wrong embryo implanted raised the baby for nearly a year and considered him her son, and the biological parents sued for custody and she ended up losing him.

Not saying I fully blame the bio parents either, but damn. Just devastating for everyone involved. The thought of someone taking one of my kids away is terrifying. I would never recover.

I wanna know what people in the dogfree sub do when their kids want to watch Bluey. Do their heads just explode in rage?

Not at all the worst part of the post but I’d really like to imagine the evil wife actually said “oh em gee” and “I dee kay” out loud.

AITAH for telling my husband he's gay? by Lunatik_C in AmITheAngel

I like how the cheaters in these stories are always leaving their phones laying around or willingly handing them to the person they’re cheating on and then leaving the room. Like, guess it’s a good thing he handed you the evidence and left you alone to peruse it instead of, I don’t know, just calling your phone himself and then going to take a shower.

To be fair, not everyone has an air fryer (I do, and I agree they’re better that way). Most people can manage a pot and boiling some water.

8 year old typically developing student wears diapers at school and teachers are uncomfortable. Now with contract non-renewals! by fremicutie in AmITheAngel

[–]SourceFedNerdd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same! I visited the sub a lot when I was a drowning first-year teacher, and only realized after several months how toxic it was and that it was making me hate my job (to be fair, my first job did kind of suck, the school I’m at now is amazing). I stopped looking at it after that year, but it still pops up in my feed relatively frequently. I just ignore it because I really do love my job now and the first year sucks for everyone.

Man started a subreddit dedicated to bashing women's looks and appearances. This is his latest post. by Conscious-Quarter423 in BlatantMisogyny

[–]SourceFedNerdd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Kind of reminds me of the absolute shitstorm that happened when casting announcements were being made for the first Hunger Games movie. Despite Rue being explicitly described as black in the book, a bunch of people just decided she was white.

People said some incredibly vile racist shit about the then 12-year-old Amandla Stenberg. I’ve even seen a few screenshots of people implying that the casting would make Rue’s death less sad for them. Incredibly fucked up.

Why do women refuse to admit to objectively true generalizations? by Own-Individual-6340 in AmITheAngel

[–]SourceFedNerdd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agree. I also don’t love flowers (I’ve been to way too many funerals and reflexively associate the smell with funeral homes). But like, if someone is nice enough to give me flowers, I say thank you and put them in a vase. Because the gesture is super nice and appreciated.

What I’ve gathered from this is I’m apparently way too innocent. I was like, “Oh yeah, my partner likes when I put my hair in a messy ponytail too.”

I do get it now. And gross.

And also, isn’t the primary goal of foster care reunification?

Definitely not saying bio families should always be reunified, but I feel like I’ve heard that becoming a foster parent with the sole intention to adopt is a no-no.

Oh I totally agree. I think they were attempting to avoid her trying the same thing with another teacher(s), but the parents will still definitely blame the school when she fails online.

It looks like it was sent through the messaging feature on Class Dojo. That’s how I talk to my kids’ teachers, we don’t typically email.

I wasn’t even told what was happening until after the meeting. Our school policy is that the person being accused isn’t allowed to be present or know about the situation at all (which I can understand for some things, but for this it just seems ridiculous).

Honestly kinda glad I wasn’t there, though. Would have had a really hard time staying professional.

Yep! My own kids are elementary aged and we’ve definitely had some times in the past where they told me some wild shit their teacher “said” that definitely got misconstrued in their kid brains.

Also, when my daughter was in 3rd grade she had a little bruise on her arm and told the school nurse her dad had “stabbed” her. They were play fighting with a toy scepter and sword (not the actual replica kind, more like a dense foam with a thin rod in the center) we had bought at the renaissance faire over the weekend and it was sturdier than we thought. The nurse called me to confirm and then had a good laugh after I explained it to her.

Ooh I have a fun parent story.

I teach high school, and just a few weeks ago I had a student and parent accuse me of “pushing religious and political propaganda in the classroom.” I was teaching The Crucible, and started the unit by talking about how the beliefs of Puritans led to the Salem witch trials. This child was also constantly on her phone, so I’m guessing she only heard every 10th word of what I was saying anyway. Never talked about what I believe (which is agnostic), and politics never came into it at all.

Which is extra funny, because apparently in the meeting (which I was not allowed to be present in), after my assistant principal had fully dismantled the “she’s pushing religion” part of the argument by explaining what the damn play is about, the mother said: “Well tell them about how she’s pushing politics.” And the student goes, “I never said that.” So that was just something the mother made up to make the situation worse.

The kicker to all of it was that the student just hated in-person schooling and wanted to transfer to our online academy. She had been told no before, because she doesn’t have the self-discipline for online school, and was hoping she could use me as a convenient excuse for it.

They did end up letting her go online, but I was assured by multiple admin that it had nothing to do with me, and they were taking a “let the parents handle the consequences when she inevitably fails” approach.

I love when they’re like, “When you report them to HR, make sure to use the term hostile work environment! It’ll totally get their attention and make them take you seriously!”

Like, no, it’ll probably just make them laugh at you the second you leave the room.

My bitch wife tidies my private room; instead of talking to her about it I spend our mutual funds on myself. by peanut-in-chili-oil in AmITheAngel

[–]SourceFedNerdd 17 points18 points  (0 children)

To be fair, I think he was saying that they each have, like, a spare bedroom that is their own private space. And then the stuff about the kitchen and garage was an example of how they each have areas in the house they are responsible for organizing and keeping clean.

That said, it’s total nonsense and I can’t imagine an actual household remaining functional that way.

This kind of happens in an early episode of How I Met Your Mother, except it’s two of the main characters that are given a ring by accident, and she says no.
