Dad says, "those are pirates of the carob-eating"
I know it’s selfish for me to want closure but I can’t stop thinking about this poor man. I called the number after looking it up and getting a local hospice care, and I told them I got a wrong number call but could they please tell the man looking for Cara that she isn’t ignoring him or anything, that it was the wrong number?
The front desk guy was probably tired as hell (over the phone it sounded rude but they’ve all probably been doing long tough shifts). All I got in response was a “Sorry we can’t, uh...if they call you—yeah sorry,” and I’m terrible at phone conversations anyway, but I tried again with a “Well could you let him know he has the wrong number for Cara?” because this man is lonely and scared and lost his only connection to what I assume is is daughter from the way he spoke. I keep wondering if I should have elaborated. I got a quick “Ok thanks” and the call was over. Lasted 21 seconds. I still have the voicemail although I should probably delete it since I don’t think there’s anything I can do. Anyway had to talk to someone somewhere
I must address this immediately: obviously excluding situations where the man violates her integrity (as in touch her female parts and other situations where she feels unsafe and utterly disrespected).
Please read the whole story so I can express my point better. Edit: I realized it is long, added a TL;DR at the end.
A close friend of mine was telling a story where she slapped a guy (that she knew but was not close, not a total stranger) in the face quite strongly because he was making fun of her repeating everything she said in a funny way. She warned him twice to stop before slapping him.
It revolted me in many ways:
I think it is unfair that she's using something to defend herself that would put a man in a very bad position had he done the same;
I think slapping someone's face is a very rude and humiliating gesture and I don't think that that reason justifies it. I would rather have a drink spilt into my face, although it is humiliating too (or even greater), it would teach me. And I feel I could do it to some girl acting disrespectful towards me without been seen as a loser. It would be a jerk move, but more understandable and not as revolting.
I don't like that women feel entitled to slap us just because we said something stupid or annoyed them. I think they're entitled to do it even more because they don't expect us to hit back;
If a girl was repeating everything I was saying and slapped her after warning her, people would talk bad things about me about how wrong it was for weeks, and I would certainly be bullied about it. I'd have a really bad background that would stick on me for a very long time.
TL;DR: I think men hitting women is as bad as women hitting men. Agression in general sucks ass, and I hate that women are more entitled to do it. Another female friend commented "women act like that on impulse because men are stronger and it's our defense mechanism". I disagree, try to change my mind!
i'm not sure what state he was in, nor the year this flashback sequence took place. i assume it was the late 70's/early 80's...
however my question isn't IF there were good samaritan laws in place, but whether or not he'd have a sound legal case, considering that it was non-consensual, and he broke the guy's neck in saving him.
From “Apology,” one of Plato’s Socratic Dialogues.
Whenever I'm in relationships, I make sure that my boyfriend is plenty satisfied -- the ol' keeping his belly fulls and something else drained. I go down plenty and in return, he takes care of me in all the ways a woman should be taken care of.
When I shared some of this with my girlfriends, they got offended and told me that this was misogynist thinking and that I was giving feminism a bad name. Like a little oral ever hurt feminism!
Am I in the wrong here? Or are my friends just prudes??

04/16/2019 5:00AM Retired NHLer Sean Avery takes social media aim at the wrong Ancaster man: The combination of a racist comment, a former NHL player and an Instagram post have an Ancaster dentist paying the price for something he didn’t do.
By Scott Radley, The Hamilton Spectator
When retired NHL agitator Sean Avery reached out to his 136,000 Instagram followers Sunday night and all-but-threatened to put an Ancaster dentist out of business for making an online racial slur, the predictable response arrived.
By Monday morning, social media had erupted with many people labelling the dentist a racist, calls to his office offering opinions on him were flooding in and online review platforms were being swamped with scathing feedback of him and his work.
Just one problem. The dental practice isn't owned by Raymond Fortino, who wrote the comment, but by his brother, Joseph.
"Joseph was not affiliated at all with this," their mother, Ivana, says. "He is suffering but this is not him at all."
Want a glimpse into the worst of modern social media? Here you go.
Not long after a particularly physical and highly charged Game 2 between Boston and Toronto, Avery posted a not-suitable-for-family-viewing Instagram video criticizing some of the actions of Bruins' winger Jake DeBrusk and defending Nazem Kadri, who'd been kicked out of the game for a cross check to DeBrusk's head.
Longtime Bruins fan Raymond Fortino responded to him through a direct message that included a comment with a racially insensitive epithet. [Fortino, the racist in question, called Nazem Kadri (of Lebanese heritage) a paki (misspelled in the original post, the slur is a derogatory term for South Asians and people of Pakistani heritage) who should "go play cricket [instead].] To which Avery responded, "Bro if I put you on blast you go out of business with your racist b---s---" and said Fortino had 30 minutes to send proof of a donation to a charity of his choice to avoid having his words made public.
When Avery then posted @fortinodental to show the business of which he was speaking, Fortino wrote "It's my brother. Not his fault." It's unclear how Avery tied the business to the writer.
"Tick Tock," Avery responded. "Clock is ticking. Try me."
"I will do it for sure," Fortino responded.
"You have 22 minutes."
By this point, the 25-year-old had let his parents know what

I am proud of India man and its history, but something has gone wrong. An alarming portion of men are borderline stalking girls and seem to be creepy rather than romantic. I know bollywood is to blame but how can one be so stupid to think that this shit works in real life. This makes it hard for people like me to ask girls out for a date since they are scared and their fears are justified. What do you think can be done for this situation and to diagnose these hopeless romeos ? Also ladies of r/india, how do you figure out these assholes ?
Edit 1- Thanks for the response so far guys. It's assuring to know that I'm not who ponders about where the true gentleman in India have gone ?
