Moving to another country and not bothering to learn the language blows my mind

This might be ring-wing coded but in this instance they’re right. I know people with grandparents who moved to the US in their 20s and now they’re in their 80s and still don’t know English. Absolutely insane to waste all that time and limit yourself in such a vast country. I know Spanish speakers have exploded in the us recently, but learning English should still be an unofficial requirement even back when English wasn’t the official language (I have no idea if Trump’s order actually made English official). How can you enjoy the rest of the country if you just visit specific cities that have Spanish?

In Germany, while trying to learn German I’ve met a couple of people who lived in Germany for years and don’t know German. I know Germany is a lot more open to this and most know some English, if you live somewhere you should at least make an effort.

I’m starting to understand Quebec and their strict language laws. If you live in a high immigration country and don’t enforce languages you’re going to get entire sections of the country that can’t speak to each other.

Just moved out and found that food costs approximately a third of what my parents pay for it

My inheritance is being frittered away on organic nonsense. I am livid. I had to stop my father from buying a branded vegetable oil that cost more than five times the own-brand version, it's not like it's a speciality olive oil you might save for finishing salads, it's literally the same product in a nicer bottle.

We constantly hear about gambling ruining poor families, what about the lesser evil of well meaning middle class parents feeling obliged to buy organic strawberries and fair trade chocolate?

The only reason why men think all BPD women are hot is because they only tolerate evil behavior from hot women

Most men with self-esteem and options won’t tolerate the emotional instability and turbulence of BPD if the woman isn’t attractive, so only the attractive ones have access to non-loser men to inflict harm on. 

A lot of people who work in psych say that most BPDs look average or below if anything. But the top 1% hottest BPDs rise fast socially and do terrible things to many otherwise socially integrated people, while the average BPD woman is overweight with 3 baby daddies and on-and-off dating a guy with DV allegations. 

It’s the same thing as with psychopaths, people think they’re smart, but most of them are actually slightly dumber than average, it’s just that the top 1% smartest ones get away with it, get successful and do lots of damage, while the rest just ends up in prison for short-sighted crimes. 

Another thing is that men like to call any toxic ex with Cluster-B traits BPD since it gives them higher social credit than if they said that she was NPD, which is seen more clinically and negatively. Most of the time they’re talking about smug upper middle class art hoes, the Phoebe Bridgers types, and in those cases, their behavior is more often driven by standard narcissistic entitlement.

married men cheating on their wives

I've been staying at a hotel for reasons unrelated to this post, but I have been blown away by the amount of men casually and very publicly cheating on their wives.

This particular hotel has two towers, and one time I had a girl friend in the other tower and this dude was like "get her to come back down :)" and I was like "ok bet" and later found out his wife and kids were upstairs.

I had one dude be like "bro I'm not married" and I was like "....uh??? but???" and then later he mentioned his wife and he was like "yes, I am married but don't let the hoes know" and I was like "????" like why am I in it?

Granted, this particular hotel is heavily military so a lot of the dudes are getting cheated on themselves when they deploy, so maybe it's kind of normalized, but the flagrancy is just wild to me as someone who is single but intending to be loyal.

I remember becoming an adult and being like "oh everybody is on drugs" and now I'm an older adult and I have to realize "oh everybody is cheating on their spouse"

Anyway, not sure what my point is. LMK if you have good cheating stories, I guess.

Every person who wants to “cancel” someone for saying the N word should have to take a Carnival cruise first

If they can survive that without dropping an n bomb, they have the right to be self-righteous

The midnight showerer

Hello.

My girlfriend and I have a roommate who for all intents and purposes seems to be fully nocturnal. This LOVELY WOMAN showers at like two am and clatters pots and pans and does laundry at a similar time and wakes us up and it is really really annoying.

I have floated the idea of turning off the water supply to the shower every night when we go to bed but I've been informed by my gf that this is "not kind".

I also hate the roommates boyfriend and have devises a series of traps like a big mallet that swings down and bashes him when he opens the front door, but I have once again been stopped by my philanthropic girlfriend.

Will we ever be free of the inconsiderate and the stupid?

Kelly Clarkson’s Unpurchased Bird Automaton :’(

It’s operated by crank and moves and makes a realistic birdsong. I’d wanna buy it too if I had that kinda money to throw around.
