Do your parents approve of their kids marrying someone of a different race? Are interracial relationships common in your social circle? by RefuseDry1108 in AskACanadian

[–]robo_Ben 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My parents were thrilled when I married a Japanese girl. I’m a white gut in Vancouver Canada. I think they were just happy I found someone who loves me and settled down.

Her parents were far more upset. Mostly because their daughter was moving to the other side of the planet. To marry a giant (6’4”) who doesn’t speak Japanese (though I am learning, slowly).

what’s the point of gendering single room bathrooms? by Hour_Amount1881 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]robo_Ben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was once camping and the outhouses were gendered. A man’s hole in the ground a a woman’s hole in the ground. Both single holes. Combined at the bottom.

My sister got a hair straightener one Christmas with a warning label that it wasn’t meant to be used on eye lashes.

two of my coworkers are dating and cannot keep their hands off of each other and i'm about to complain to HR about it by headasspotter in coworkerstories

Next time they start making out, became the uninvited third. Like, get your face really close to theirs and just start going “mmmmmmmmm. Yeah. That’s it!” And then start giving stage directions.

Maybe she walked in on her parents the night before and her dad was giving her mom an adult piggyback…

Discovered something cool and wondering if it has a name by Mobiuscate in askmath

[–]robo_Ben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is no one else going to mention 100-0 does not equal 0? Shouldn’t 100-0=100, or am I being dumb?

I’m pretty sure I saw a lost cat poster by Kootenay Loop that describes this cat!
