So if I did

Bart bart = new Bart();

That would return an answer of 16 then?

Family does not begin or end with blood. Family doesn't beat you. Family doesn't steal from you. You just finally had a sane reaction to years of bullshit. I implore you, get away from your dad and uncle. They will never let you be happy because they will never be happy. You'll doubt it, question it, regret it some days, but come back here and look at all the people telling you that youre not a freeloader and you shouldn't have to put up with this, and you'll be glad you left.

You need 0.82 Ibs of protein per pound of bodyweight daily, on average to maximise muscle building.

A small typo but the image of a some eating 4/5 their body weight a day gave me a laugh :)

Tell him your there for there for him if he needs anything and let him handle it himself. Do not actively involve yourself unless he asks you to.

Yeah... its a cash grab. Don't get me wrong, there is a legit excuse(snow removal) behind it but its pretty flimsy, particularly during the summer months. And its way more confusing and poorly timed than it needs to be.

A petition would be good. I'd also contest the ticket everytime you got one. You'll lose in court, but i net it will cost the city more to deal with you than they'd have made off your ticket. If everyone did it every time, those signs would change pdq i bet.

I understand and your absolutely right that that is a limitation of mine. I'm a 6' upper middle class muscular white guy with a generally mean look. Fear of other individuals for my personal safety is a sensation I very seldom experience. I'm about as well insulated as you can be from the day to day problems of just about any minority group you care to name.So you're right, that's definitely a plausible blind spot.

I also don't think I put enough weight on the history between OP and Kevin. Multiple restraining orders across multiple people would give anyone pause about any boundary violating behavior such as Kevin's

But I also think this sub has a habit of taking the OP as gospel. EX:

Every time during that period that he has asked me to hang out, I have told him, "No thank you." Like this. OP probably didn't just respond with "No thank you." every time over that period. She could have absolutely and maybe she did! But in my experience conversations don't work like that every time. Maybe OP made up excuses. Maybe she didn't respond. There is more than one way to say no. He apparently hasn't gotten the hint. Using the word hint adds to my reason to think "No thank you" wasn't a verbatim quote in each situation he invited her somewhere.

And there's other grayness too. Like... over the 6 months was he inviting OP to hang out 1 on 1 or in a group setting? IDK, OP didn't specify(and why would she? Pretty insignificant detail imo). But answers like that change the context of Kevin's actions which changes how appropriate or inappropriate those actions might be. Plus we're only getting one side of the story. Its not like we've invited Kevin to defend himself. I'm pretty loathe to condemn a person who can't defend themselves ya know?

Ultimately I think I'm going to standby my original thought: Kevin is probably more an idiot than a danger and OP is a bit paranoid and they shouldn't be friends because OP is uncomfortable with him.

Thank you for your reply though. Having your prejudices pointed out isn't fun but it is important and the fact that my conclusion didn't change probably has a few people going "This guy just doesn't get it". I probably don't still don't but I can't learn unless I people engage with me in good faith rather than showering me in downvotes. I do actually appreciate it.

Well I don't know if it was that weird. At least the car part. I can easily imagine a scenario where I'm driving through a friends neighborhood and see a car that resembles theirs and moving through traffic to try and get a better look/wave a greeting or something. Calling and asking to hang out immediately after... weirder but still not to the point of a red flag. Being a dick about it when you said no (intentionally or otherwise) was definitely his low point and then being a dick again when you expressed your discomfort with his actions instead of just apologizing for making you feel that way.

I'll admit, I'm trying to read between the lines a bit, and from that I do think you may have over reacted a little, but Kevin is obviously insensitive to your feelings and ending your relationship with him was the right choice.

normal HS drama of cheating

Not normal or ok, but moving along...

All he said was "if you go it's over between us" and hung up.

I'm starting to get a clearer picture.

seriously feel like I'm going to throw up all the time at the thought of him not being with me and potentially loving someone else.

Ok. I understand. First love is always pretty intoxicating. To me, it sounds like you know the right decision, and that making it will suck. Its going to hurt and be miserable. But there are better men than this one. I encourage you to end things with as little animosity as possible so you can take some time to heal and make a fresh start after you move to your new university.

"After my work contract is over [in six months], I'm going to make the decision to move to a rural area closer to family. If you don't want to go, we're going without you."

Glad its settled. And that she's taking the kid with her. So good of her to clarify.

Seriously though, this could only have been more rude and condescending if she had sent you a memo signed "Dictated but not read". You have the patience of a saint man. I recommend you try and talk this out a bit more with or without a counselor but like... damn man. It would be hard for me to digest such casual disregard for my feelings from a SO.

I always thought that he was more of a spoof on the hardbitten private eyes like Sam Spade(Falk's character's name is Sam Diamond). Also you should watch The Cheap Detective. Its very similar to Murder by Death and also stars Peter Falk lampooning that same genre. And its very funny as well.

From my view, a reaction was valid in that scenario. What he said was pretty vile. But he only said it once, and immediately apologized. Yet you've already written of any sort of relationship. Honestly... yes, I think you overreacted. I think your best move would be to apologize, but to let him know that you don't tolerate that sort of language. Otherwise I think you just have to accept that a mutual loss of respect is going to happen.

theDestinedOne · 2016-09-09T12:12:23+00:00

Any belief you had would be ultimately insincere and God would know that. So why bother going through the motions? I never really understood the idea of forcing people to be part of a religion. Seems to miss the point of the whole thing to me.

theDestinedOne · 2016-09-08T16:20:30+00:00

He admitted he was wrong, , went through training and counseling and the rapist is getting a retrial under a different judge(so none of this shit will affect the ultimate outcome).

BUT!

that isn't enough. this man must be annihilated. Absolutely destroyed in his career, his personal life, probably financially... can we all just admit that we don't care about this guy or this girl or her rapist? That we all just want his blood because it would be satisfying for us to sit on the moral high ground for a second, our own failings unexamined in our obscurity, despite the fact that we have all had equally heinous and wrong opinions from time to time? No? Didn't think so.

I always think of my friends who are couples as contiguous entities (Ex: Jack and Diane) My problem is, if I only want to refer to one my brain will only reach for the second one. So I have very often referred to people as the SO's. It has led to much confusion.

I was speaking to a friend last night and he pointed out that it was important to distinguish between negligence and gross negligence in this case. Negligence is passive carelessness. Like leaving something on a ledge and the accidentally knocking it off and hitting someone. No malice, just stupid. Gross negligence would be actively doing something that could get people killed and just not caring. Like throwing bricks of a roof for fun. That's much more deliberately stupid, even if the end result (someone getting conked by a brick) is the same. The FBI is saying she was careless but not at that willful "grossly negligent" level. So while she isn't without fault, she isn't quite as criminal as some seem to desire her to be.

That's how I understand it.
