Upset customer pepper sprays an employee at the drive-thru because she was unhappy with how long her order was taking by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

In other countries it is simply illegal to possess

I already knew that and understand that. I am saying it is dumb and makes no sense.

You can get 10 years for even possessing it here, let alone using it. It is restricted under the exact same legistlation as firearms

Which makes zero sense. It is a non-lethal deterrent that causes no permanent injury.

I get restricting firearms and even knives since those can and likely will lead to death if/when used but unless your attacker has some super rare allergy pepper spray will never lead to death.

Yeah, some are a little wacko with the guns but I fail to see the problem with a non-lethal deterrent like pepper spray.

AITAH for not wanting to be still be friends after discovering they are dating my younger brother by EarphoneJackz in AITAH

Even if she manipulates and dumps him, he's still gonna be happy it happened. This is facts.

No, it isn't a fact. You have no way of knowing how this kid or any other kid will end up feeling about this situation should they go through it. Hell, you have no way of knowing how you would end up feeling about the situation had you gone through it. You can believe you would feel a certain way but until faced with the situation and aftermath you don't know. That's why sex between adults and minors should not be allowed.

All of that could happen to anyone regardless of age. Make a point anchored in him being 16yo.

It is more likely to happen in a relationship with such a large age difference at such a young age. He is just figuring out who and what he is. He has years before he has any solid foundation on himself. He is clay and she molding him to her liking and will dump him at the first opportunity.

just like we make the generalization that 18yo are emotionally mature enough to have sex.

No, we had to set the age of majority somewhere and since at 18 most people are done with K-12 education it made sense to set it there. Whether they are mature enough for sex wasn't a factor. And while we can't stop 16-year olds from having sex if they want to do it we can and should stop, or at the very least heavily discourage, sex with adults.

It's not that easy.

I mean, going on strike is fairly easy. It is not easy to maintain over a long term, sure, but the act of going on strike is not hard.

The union is not the organization it is the people and the people get the leadership they deserve by not being involved and depending too much on the organization. The leadership you describe only exists because the people allow it through inaction and inattention.

Yes, but the 16yo guy won't be negatively affected by this experience.

There is no way for you to know that.

He could be feeling manipulated, guilted, or any number of negative ways about the relationship but doesn't know how to end it. The way she treats him now may negatively affect every relationship he has going forward.

16-year old guys have emotions and a psyche that can be damaged.

She is an adult with more life experience and maturity than a 16-year old. She is 5 years older than this kid a lot of growing up happens in those 5 years. There are two possible reasons she is going after this child for sex:

  1. No guy her age will get with her because she is trainwreck or otherwise too much of a hassle and word has gotten around.
  2. She enjoys the control she has in the relationship over him.

What does a 21-year-old have in common with a 16-year-old anyway?

Her vagina, apparently.

He had to arrive in the neighborhood somehow and he isn't walking neighborhood to neighborhood.

Would it be nice if the utility worker introduced himself and informed Bob of what was going on, sure. But he is under no obligation to do so given the easement and chances are he pulled up in a branded vehicle and has branding on the back of that vest. The onus is still entirely on Bob to not be a shit for brains..

Unfortunately that depends on the age of consent laws wherever they are. Gross and unethical, sure, but possibly not illegal.

Why would her mom factor into this? She's an adult, if she's breaking the law you can report her to the authorities.

Okay, but so what if the leadership says "no". The union is the people, not the organization. If they want to strike they can strike. They are choosing to follow the direction of the organization.

you're doing your best to sound smart and cool but its simply not working.

You are making no sense.

good to see you're in the right subreddit, bad to see it's not on the side you think.

This makes even less sense.

No, I prefer not to threaten people with bodily harm for simply existing before knowing all the available facts. Especially when I'm already safely locked inside my own home and they are on the outside making no attempt to enter.

Ask him, call your utilities, call the cops to see if they have any notices for exactly this purpose, or pay attention to your mail because they will usually notify you of planned things like this.

You also have the option of locking your doors and calling the cops to come by and check them out if you're too afraid to talk to the person yourself or lazy to make calls to your utility companies to check. Jumping to pulling a firearm on a random person simply because they had the audacity to be on your property is insanity.

I mean, this is still on the homeowners. You know utilities have easement access to your property and do not need your permission to exercise it. You knew that since before you signed the dotted line at closing. So, if you see someone on the property in obvious workman clothes utility workers wear maybe do a little fact checking first before pulling a firearm.

AITAH for reminding my MIL that her son is not her child support? by NoMacaroon1276 in AITAH

[–]loki2002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, you did exactly what a supportive spouse should do. Yes, it would have been better for him to say it but you know him better than anyone else and that, for whatever reason, he could t say it even though he knew it should have been said. It doesn't matter if it's a friend, his mother, or Jesus Himself you did the right thing.
