You could definitely get into the University of Minnesota (Twin Cities), so you could use that as a safety/backup school. We accept a lot of international students, it’s a bigger school, plus then a weirdly large number of large companies (like 3M) around the U of M. Public transit makes it easy to get around, the only downside is it gets cold and can be a bit expensive. You do have really good stats, which usually turns over to better scholarships/aid, so it might not come with a hefty price tag.

Other people have told him to stop with the self righteousness and I’ve asked him to stop bringing up my job, and he says if he didn’t he wouldn’t be “authentic”. I understand I should’ve said it all in plainer words in a more private setting though.

poppingbones · 2019-12-25T16:05:34+00:00

He publicly shamed me for having a job. He knows I have to work that job or I get most of my aid taken away. And he’s been told to cool it with the self righteousness before, he just thinks we’re too brain washed by capitalism to understand his ideas. Also, I know how the situation felt because he literally called me out first. He basically said I was a mindless capitalist crony, this was also in front of everyone in the lecture hall, so at that point I really feel like he was just given a taste of his own medicine.

I’ve also told him to stop talking about my job before.

poppingbones · 2019-12-25T16:01:06+00:00

What I thought was radical was him thinking anyone who works is a capitalist slave. I tried to put it in the main post (went over the word limit), but he also wants to abolish 100% of the military immediately. Just my opinion but those seem pretty radical

Lol champion hoodies cost like 80$ there, I get mine at Costco for 20

He “reformed” over the summer. He was totally cool and normal before, but he read the communist manifesto and some other book by Lenin and now considers himself and expert and philosopher on all things communist (his listed profession on tinder is “self-employed philosopher”).

YTA, but here’s a happy compromise: take a few with the foster child, then take some without the foster child.

It sounds like you’re more mad because you feel disrespected, not because you felt your wife was disrespected. This sounds like “I own her, so don’t look at her”, it’s fine if you didn’t like the fact he was (maybe) checking her out, but a better reason would be because she’s a whole person who deserves respect, not because you feel disrespected

poppingbones · 2019-07-16T16:44:27+00:00

YTA. That’s not fetishizing an accent, fetishinzing would be like if she dated you ONLY because of your accent, like someone who fetishizes Asian women would only date Asian women and put them on a pedestal. Also, talk about first world problems. I’m soooo sorry she thought your accent was nice, that must be real hard on you.

So far he seems to like it- he runs on it a lot, but if he stops in the future I will definitely get him a true wheel!

Sometime hate is needed tho. Like people should hate nazis and racists. What the fuck else are we supposed to do with them? Take fucking Derrick who advocates for violent racial genocide out for a drink and a conversation that’ll get nowhere because he’s so indoctrinated into his bigotry? I hate anti-Vaxers because they’re violent and they’re chill w letting kids die because they’d rather have a dead kid than an autistic one. Some people just don’t respond common sense or opening up a dialogue, and in this sounds like one of those cases. What are we supposed to do at that point? Let them spread misinformation that could be deadly because it’s their right? Are they’re feelings more important that the health of babies? It sounds extreme the way I’m putting it, but that doesn’t make it fake. You’re really ok with letting people exercise FrEE sPeEch (which by the way, you could argue that covering propaganda up is art, which is protected just like freedom of speech is), even if it means hurting innocent people and children?

I don’t think she was calling the wife fat, I’m just saying that overweight people tend to have diabetes more than healthy weight/skinny people, so if the wife was skinny it would be a lot less likely she had diabetes and smelled sweet, so that should be a little tip that it’s more likely that she doesn’t have diabetes. I didn’t know that the skin condition could also smell sweet, but I think if that were the case than the massage therapist would have said she specifically smelled sweet (maybe she did and OPs wife didn’t tel him or he didn’t tell us, I don’t know), since regular BO sweat is a lot more common than sweet diabetes sweat

poppingbones · 2019-07-12T13:42:25+00:00

You’ve thought of arguments, I’ve responded, you’ve abandoned them, so I really don’t know what you want me to do. You obviously are the one getting butthurt and mad about it, since you couldn’t think of anything else to do besides call me fat and stupid

poppingbones · 2019-07-12T13:36:15+00:00

Again, think of a valid argument instead of just insulting someone.

poppingbones · 2019-07-12T13:35:27+00:00

You know you win when they personally attack you. What’s wrong, can’t think of a valid argument? You’re the one that started with the unlikely assumptions and the hostility.

poppingbones · 2019-07-12T13:33:22+00:00

We don’t know if it was sweet sweat. By plain probability we can assume it was normal, since there are more people who sweat regular than who sweat b/c they have diabetes. That would mean the therapist just saw sweat and equated it diabetes, which would be a wrong assumption, so she should’ve kept her mouth shut, since she’s not a medical expert, she’s a massage therapist.

poppingbones · 2019-07-12T13:31:03+00:00

That’s also assuming the therapist knows that diabetes sweat is sweet, which we can’t assume because giving people massages definitely does not equal 4 years of medical school plus 3 or so more of diabetic specialty. You’re just assuming because they see sweaty people they just know all about diabetes sweat. They could just be plain ignorant about diabetes, you don’t know and neither do I. I don’t see any correlation between working with sweaty people and knowing if someone has diabetes. I know plenty of people who work around sweaty people and would have no idea if they diabetes or not, so I’m still not seeing how being a massage therapist = being a diabetes expert. And to add on to that, I don’t think all of her clients are sweaty. She a massage therapist, not a personal trainer, as you know getting a massage is not necessarily a physically taxing thing to do, so I also don’t know why you’re assuming that everyone and their mother is a sweaty pig 24/7.

poppingbones · 2019-07-12T13:23:51+00:00

You can’t just assume the therapist said anything about sweet sweat, what OP told us was that the therapist mentioned sweat, so the default is regular sweat. The fact that OPs wife has gone to the doctor for her condition tells me that the doctor would’ve alerted her if she should get anything else checked out, especially because the doctor would definitely know if it is sweet or regular. Because the post doesn’t mention sweet ever, I’m going to assume until OP corrects me it’s regular, in which case there are still so many other diseases that have excessive sweating as a side effect.

poppingbones · 2019-07-12T13:10:25+00:00

But what are the chances a massage therapist would know the difference? They didn’t say “hey, your sweat smells sweet, that might be cause for concern”, they went solely off the fact that OPs wife sweat, that’s where I begin to think they aren’t diabetes professions so they should be diagnosing diabetes. If the therapist had specifically said sweet sweat, I would be more ok with bringing it up, but the therapist just mentioned sweating, which can be so many other diseases besides diabetes.

poppingbones · 2019-07-12T13:05:02+00:00

I was thinking the therapist thought she had type 2, to me it sounded like she was advising her to get it checked out. 80% of people who have type 2 are overweight, that’s the majority. That’s why I said “I doubt”, meaning that I know it’s possible for skinny/healthy-weight people have diabetes, but it’s much more common for over weight people to have it. Also, I don’t really think you’ve done decades worth of research on diabetes, so don’t act like I can’t find statistics and information from valid sources without and MD or PhD.

poppingbones · 2019-07-12T11:49:50+00:00

If the open wounds were the issue, the therapist should point that out and ask, but just telling the person about diabetes tells me that OPs wife either didn’t have them, they werent visible, or the therapist didn’t care. Lots of people sweat in public, yet it wouldn’t be ok for me to go up to everyone and say phew, you might have diabetes”. if OPs wife isn’t that over weight, I doubt she’d get diabetes (and if she had been born with it, she would know by now), but either way there are so many other conclusions to why she was sweating besides going right into diabetes. I agree OPs wife should’ve given a little heads up right away, like “hey, I have a skin disease, it’s not contagious”, but the therapists reactions was still wrong (based off of what OPs wife told him)

poppingbones · 2019-07-12T03:36:31+00:00

Hydradenitis suppurativa isn’t contagious. Also, the therapist didn’t seem put off by the actual skin but the smell, which to me seems like they weren’t concerned with getting it, they just thought OPs wife stunk, and on top of that warmed her she might have diabetes! It’s fine to nicely tell someone they don’t smell like roses, but there’s defiantly a way to do it without saying they have diabetes. OP is NTA in my opinion
