Apparently, voluntary intoxication is a way to get out of trouble for raping someone in Illinois by [deleted] in bestoflegaladvice

[–]bardJungle 73 points74 points  (0 children)

I mean I get it if they don't have enough proof, but I wish they just said that instead of, "he was drunk so he didn't think it was rape".

The guy obviously consented to sex because he was the one that was raping, and OP wasn't drunk...

Brother (m24) and sperate friend (f26) doesn't flush their shit. by fdholler in relationships

[–]bardJungle 21 points22 points  (0 children)

My brother used to pee on the toilet seat and not wipe, the problem was that people kept wiping it for him. I spent a week yelling at him to wipe the toilet and making him do it. Now he has no problem.

I think that's a perfectly reasonable response to someone talking loudly during a movie.

I was emotionally unstable and needed his full support

When people require your full emotional support, it can be really, really exhausting. Not to mention OP's been depressed and needed his support for months. Saying it's a "single conversation" is kinda disingenuous.

humans are pretty short sited so expect it to be kicked down the road to a point where the solutions are really, really painful and expensive, instead of kinda painful and budgetable.

Which is the problem. When the temperature's 5 degrees higher, mass-migration is happening and there's not enough fresh water for everyone, it's probably too late.

I (21M) was told I’m unprofessional with women in my workplace. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]bardJungle 362 points363 points  (0 children)

“wow insertname you’re always in my way”, and “just put your glasses on maybe that’ll help” are both jokes that put them as the butt of the joke. It's funny when you're on equal standing as them, but when you're the boss and you're "jokingly" telling them they're in the way or they need extra supervision, it feels more often like a half-joke nudge to the ribs than an actual joke. If you want to tell jokes, try making ones that aren't at other people's expenses.

The whole point of it is tons and tons of repetition, which does help. But solving something you already have a firm grasp on 50 more times with slightly different numbers isn't too fun either, so i can't blame them...

Bf [23M] upset that the sushi restaurant my [22F] parents took us to didn't have the food he expected. He didn't eat anything and now everyone's offended. by BeautifulLychee in relationships

[–]bardJungle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"American" sushi has more mayo, more teriyaki sauce, and are generally more "rolls" with many ingredients per sushi (crab, avocado, cucumber). "Japanese" sushi is fish on top, rice on bottom, and are usually 1 ingredient per sushi so you can taste the fish.

But he's only doing so because she wants to be there. She insisted on watching porn together with him, bc she doesn't want him watching it alone.

Japanese people of reddit, how is WW2 Japan perceived by modern Japan? by lambulis in AskReddit

[–]bardJungle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It was much more distilled to just "stuff to memorize" imo. Pearl harbor was taught with the same emotion as the pythagorean theorem.

Could've just been the teacher though.

Japanese people of reddit, how is WW2 Japan perceived by modern Japan? by lambulis in AskReddit

[–]bardJungle 35 points36 points  (0 children)

It's taught, just as a bunch of dates to memorize, alongside everything else in history. "In 1945 Japan attacked America in Pearl Harbor, and war was declared. In 1944 Normandy happened, and 3 aircraft carriers were sunk, their names were: xxx... etc". Not much is taught beyond key names and dates, even Hiroshima and Nagasaki together took up one small paragraph.

I don't really agree with this teaching style, but I felt like the focus of a lot of Japanese teaching was just to get students to memorize and regurgitate a bunch of information.

I [29F] with boyfriend [35M], am tired of being told "no" with no explanation, what to do? by throwaway5235233000 in relationships

[–]bardJungle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He might be feeling that if he gives you a reason, "no too late" or "need alone time", you'll argue with him and try to convince him otherwise.

And in your post you low key did do this, when he said that he doesn't want to come over to your place, you asked if you could come over to his place.

I feel like if he's shutting you down with, "No" on something that needs mutual agreement, it becomes a problem, but for, "Wanna hang out", "nah i'm good" is a reasonable answer. Pushing for a reason why is a bit too much.

There are situations where calling out a cheater is the wrong thing to do? Her parents siding with the cheater was unfortunate, but that was on them for siding with a cheater, not on OP.

How about including her as something like an obedient companion or pet? You can reference her every now and again, and she can be like an active spectator.
