For the beard story, even if he can't claim assault where he lives, he can probably sue for damages. There's a famous case known as the hairy hand case which sets a precedent that physical appearance does have value, and tarnishing someone's appearance can make you liable for damages.

[@ngotemna8875]

The hairy hand incident is more about the doctor promising that the hand will be 100% back to its original state. But the original state of the hand was without hair (He had severe burns and they transplanted skin from his chest to his hand, which made it hairy) So it's less about appearance itself and more about the doctor not keeping his promise.

@@ngotemna8875 It's not exactly the same case, you're right, but the fact is that the court made a ruling that someone's physical health being affected isn't necessary to receive compensation, and even simply their appearance being damaged makes the other party liable for damages. They didn't find the doctor liable because he HARMED the patient, but because he damaged their APPEARANCE.

i'm pretty sure, i haven't looked it up but remember it being said by someone more versed in law then me, that if someone cuts your hair without your consent then its considered assault. so, shaving a beard could fall under the same law.

They would go to SCA events that happened during the school year, and never during the school week. Plus, the last babysitter we had they found out would steal alcohol and invite her boyfriend over after we'd gone to bed. Don't call CPS lightly.

Yes, that's nice, but you have to remember one very important thing: the water is as clean as the pipes are. They have to be cleaned regurarly for the water to be safe to consume.

[@jackiesharp018]

That's not a possibility in certain areas. My family does do tap water because of the fact the water where my mom grew up was just minerals from what I understand. Due to mining in the area, the water became very poor and was the worst taste- you couldn't even use it in cooking so bottle water was sold alot because of the water issue and a few years ago when I went to visit family there, the water was better- but still terrible and tasted metallic. It's unfortunate not everywhere has clean water, not even in the US as my family lived in northern Minnesota. It's just- the water contaminated from what I've heard from my mom was related to the mining industry in the area.

When we first moved out here, the water at the house we lived in was un-drinkable, as the gutters and tank were filthy - so much so that the guy we had come clean our tank called us that night (clearly drunk) and said “I’m sorry, I put everything I had in there, I tried, I’m sorry”. We had full weeds growing in our gutters, up to 50cm (~20in). The water where we are now is far better, as that place was a crappy rental. However the other conundrum is that water from cities like port Macquarie now taste like chlorine and can make me physically sick - I will end yo curled up with what feels like the worst stomach cramps ever. So I do understand drinking bottled water if it’s dangerous or you’re sensitive to it, but ffs if it was that bad you’d’ve said something by now.

[@TwighlightPrince1]

So, the aromantic ace genderfluid story and the response that one genius had to it (about being less sinful as they aren’t interested in adult activities) reminds me of something I once said to a friend on why I am no longer a Christian: In this type of context, simply ask if they’ve ever done the two person mambo before marriage. Then simply say at least they won’t have to worry about that with you. The more excuses they make for why they’re in the right, the better this line will hit: “If you are following a religion in which you have to make excuses or loopholes or ‘I did that but repented immediately after so it’s ok’ statements in order to feel like you follow that religion, you do not follow that religion.”

CPS chooses to remove children that are not in any kind of danger but when my abusive parents were beating us up to the point of braking bones (and not taking us to the doctor after and just let us heal on our own) burnt half my leg as Punishment (I was 6), punished without food or water to the point I had to be rushed to an E.R. for dehydration and almost didn't make it, forced feed my brother so many meds they permanently ruined my brother's imunine system, keeping me and my brothers locked under lock and key (sometimes in a bedroom, sometimes in a small bathroom, sometimes they'd cut the electricity, sometimes outside in a gared area, imposible to get out from with nothing but a roof above our heads, dog shit and urine in the floor, trash all around and since there weren't any walls we were still exposed to the elements regardless of the ceiling) and then claimed we were dificult kids that were being disrespectful and they were just discipliing us according to their religious beliefs so CPS decided they shouldn't intervene out of fear of infringing on the religious freedom of a good Christian married couple. I was the only one that got out (I did so when they got sloppy when they actively tried to kill me in a blind rage episode because I dared comunicate with people outside the household, I was an adult, I manged to get away but for some technically I wasn't able to sue them ) my two younger brothers are now both adults and still live there (assuming they are stilk alive) I've tried the police and every lawyer I can afford, since they are adults the only way to get them out is for them to contact the police on their own but since I managed to get out and even dared have contact with people on the outside before that now ny brothers don't have access to phone/internet/contact with anyone, so they won't be able to ever call the police even if they weren't scared to the point of being afraid to do so. I still feel gulty and still try finding help for them every couple of months but police insist they are adult so nothing to be done unless they are the ones requesting it or I get evidence. Neighbors refuse to declare what they have heard because they don't want to get involved. I HATE THIS SYSTEM to top it all nothing would have happened if my grandmother and the church wouldn't have convinced my mother to have me and marry my abusive father instead of allowing her to abort me. I wouldn't have suffered, if they didn't get married (which they did just because of the pregnancy) my brothers wouldn't have been born.

If she’s that desperate, she’ll push for a wedding, and offer to pay for it if you use money as an excuse. Let her. Then call everything off at the last minute. “Oh, we broke up. Yeah, we just realized we didn’t really like each other that much. Oh? You paid for everything already? I’m sorry, you offered, but we did say we weren’t ready yet.

Regarding 5:17 or so it reminds me of a story I remember... My father, who once owned a restaurant, always told our female staff that they are free to do whatever is necessary if a customer behaves quite badly (As in sexually assaulting her or similar). This once resulted in one of our staff hitting a customer with a metal plate she used to serve drinks and food on after he tried to touch her breasts and private area. He obviously came back with the police accusing her of attacking him without any reasons. But her, my father and some other customers told the police what actually happened, which resulted in the man being taken away and her not dealing with any legal issues as it was considered self-defense what she did. So... Yeah... Was an interesting thing.

The CPS story kinda hit home. My middle sister lied about being abused by our parents when she was a teenager, to the point that someone actually called CPS on them. Thankfully they determined that my parents were fine. I had no idea about this until I was much older, that day I'd just asked if I could play with one of the neighborhood girls. My parents were by no means perfect, in fact I could list several instances that would be quite fitting for this subreddit, but it was nothing like what she was claiming. And to have it almost result in losing my home when I was 8? Absolutely awful.

[@errol2605]

as an aussie, the people drinking those pallets and pallets of bottled water are (I would think) typically either construction workers with no access to running water on the job or the few people who don't have safe running water and/or rely on rainwater. like for example at the start of the year I was at a place where they did use bottled water to pad out their rainwater supply. there's also a suburb near where I live that if the tap water source has an algal bloom the water is undrinkable, and my mother used to teach at the school there and relied on bottled water during that. but yeah genuinely I don't know anyone who drinks bottled water at home on the regular outside of some very narrow circumstances

[@sabrinanite]

the fact you have to filter your tap water in order to safely drink it.... in America of all places... is insane to me. I never drink bottled water. Can just drink straight from the tap here in New Zealand.

[@getaround1276]

In most places in America the Tao waters perfectly safe, there's some places with old lead pipes or whatever, but that takes a combination of city water and poor funding of which which is rather rare esp due to the fact that a lot of people on the more water rich east coast get their water from a nearby aquifer so for most any filtration is more so just to prevent the taste of some (harmless) minerals

[@skylordjojo8454]

And then sometimes the water is perfectly safe to drink but taste weird. My Grandma has well water, but the water tastes like rotten eggs. You can bathe it in and wash your clothes in it safely. But the only reason why no one drinks it or cooks with it, it's cause it a taste.

Unfortunately, the building behind my house was built illegally close, so it’s not even like a foot from our fence. Their bedroom (I think that’s what it is, maybe a living room?) looks directly into our backyard and kitchen (and bathroom if they’re trying). The creep in the apartment likes to watch us. He keeps the light on in that window almost all the time. I’m pretty sure he regularly checks outside or something, because whenever I go into the backyard, he’ll suddenly appear in the window or on his porch. He literally stares right at me with no shame. He never talks, never says hello, just creepily stares at me. He doesn’t do this to my grandmother, only me (21 F). Unfortunately we can’t do anything about it, because not only does the apartment complex owner have connections in city hall, but even if we called the police on him, what are they going to do?

Our city's tap water, while perfectly fine and potable, comes from a lake with a distinct species of algae. This algae is harmless, but no amount of purification can fully remove it. Most relevantly, nothing can fully remove the flavor. Dasani is just the most consistently "flavored" water in my own opinion, and seems to be shared with the others I live with. While for all I know it's treated cat piss, it's better than what we got.

Just to clarify the whole “water from a swamp” thing, this is kinda true.

This is why a lot of bottled water tastes so bad.
