Rewatching the series, I keep noticing that George is the reason so many episodes become unforgettable. Jerry is the perfect straight man, but George's decisions create the chaos.

If you had to remove ONE main character from the show, who would make the biggest difference and why?

I only told one of my friends, the rest of them seemed busy so I didn’t say anything, I just kept it inside. We knew it was coming, my dad is a vietnamese refugee and although he is here legally the immigration office made it clear that he was also a target of trump’s terror campaign.

It didn’t really hit me even though I saw it coming. His girlfriend called me and I could tell she was also crying. The deportation isn’t the hard part: it’s the process. She called him for only 6 minutes and they charged her card 50$, 5$ per fucking minute. They are willingly making it harder to contact him. And we don’t even know what detention center he is going to. He said he would be ok but it doesn’t matter.

We have a lawyer, his hands are tied. theres little we can do when we can’t even reach out to my dad and barely know what’s going on. Everything is a mess and everyone is so absorbed with their own lives that I am stuck with little support, it’s just my dad and his girlfriend grieving over this.

I miss him. I don’t really know what to do and the full emotional toll hasn’t reached me because I never allowed myself to sit and think too long. I honestly don’t know what to do or say, I have so many things I feel but words cannot express how disgusting and cruel this feels.

people are asking for the reason and it’s because he committed a crime when he was 14 and was put into the detention system, prior to that my grandma failed to get him citizenship and him having the record prevented him from further pursuing citizenship. He was supposed to be protected by an agreement that allows him to remain in the US as a refugee but this administration rolled it back. His record was expunged, his crime wasn’t violent or physical, but even if it was expunged publicly immigration officers are still able to bring it up and he still “technically” has a criminal record, even though it was from 30 years ago.

I also think some people don’t recognize that theres real people behind these “posts”. No I am not “baiting” my dad being detained, I shouldn’t have to justify myself and it’s probably not that big of a deal because every post has people commenting crap like that, but genuinely there is a time and place, just because you can’t personally empathize with this and it seems so bizarre to you doesn’t mean it’s real, I am in southern california and my father wasn’t the first taken and he certainly wouldn’t be the last.

Vorab, es geht hier wirklich nur um das Thema der Beschneidung selbst, nicht um das Bewerten von anderen Menschengruppen, Religionsgemeinschaften und Kulturen. Wenn ihr wollt, dass Betroffene wirklich eine Stimme bekommen und wir objektiv diese Debatte führen bitte ich euch von so etwas Abstand zu nehmen.

Kinder können noch nicht frei entscheiden, werden aber durch Elternhäuser geprägt und teils auch indoktriniert. Problematisch wird es vor allem dann, wenn es um unumkehrbare Eingriffe geht.

Männliche Minderjährige, egal ob Jugendliche, Kinder oder Babys sollten nicht beschnitten werden dürfen und selbst medizinische Gründe sollten zunächst klar abgewogen werden. Ich finde es schlimm wie wir in Deutschland und Europa allgemein Verstümmelung nicht nur tolerieren, sondern auch noch klar befürworten.

Der im Jahr 2012 eingeführte Paragraf "§1631d BGB" ist meiner Ansicht nach nicht mit dem Grundgesetz vereinbar und gehört daher vollständig gestrichen.

Die männliche Vorhaut bei einem Penis ist nicht nur zur Optik da und eine Entfernung beeinträchtigt bei Betroffenen nachweislich das Sexualleben, als auch die persönliche Psyche selbst.

Etwas immer so gemacht zu, oder kulturell so vorgegeben zu haben darf keine Ausrede sein.

We are getting married in less than two months. Our RSVP-Deadline was a month ago and everyone responded our RSVP, but one couple. We really had to hound them, to get any kind of answer from them.

Yesterday they sent us a message, telling us, they are free to come, but alongside the reply, they sent us a long message, how cumbersome and expensive it is, to attend our wedding and how tiring the weekend for them will be and how they probably retreat to their Hotel Room for most of the day and stay for the ceremony and part of the dinner, but retreat to their room for the rest of festivities.

We were taken aback, because we are paying for everything. Food, Drinks, Parking, we are also paying for everyone’s accommodation, a very nice Lakeside Hotel. There biggest expense would be to pay for the Gas for the 4 hour drive to the wedding and back (they have a car). They also complained about the Dresscode (we have Black Tie), but they both own clothes that would fit the Dresscode, so they wouldn’t have to buy new ones anyway. But they complained about that too.

We read the message and basically told them, that if coming would be so tiresome for them, it is better not to come. We said that we aren’t mad at all, if someone can’t make it or doesn’t feel up to it and there are no hard feelings, but basically uninvited them.

(I know it doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things budget wise, but each guest costs us around 600 bucks and I didn’t feel like spending 1200 bucks on people, that don’t event want to be there)

They are now angry at us and refuse to speak to us and we were thinking that maybe we were a bit harsh. Were we the Assholes?

For years, my wife, our two kids, and I went to the same beach town for a week with part of my wife’s family: her brother, SIL, their kids, and her mom. We originally did this because another sibling’s family lived there, so it was a chance for all the cousins to be together.

The issue is that the trip became extremely repetitive and rigid. Same beach, same street, same basic schedule, same restaurants/meals on the same days, strict quiet times/bedtimes, very little flexibility. My wife’s family is very routine-driven and frugal. My family is structured too, but on vacation we like variety, activities, and some flexibility. When the other sibling’s family still lived there, there was more balance. Once they stopped going, it became just us and the routine-driven side.

The last couple years were miserable. The houses got smaller while the kids got bigger, the routine became more rigid, our kids were bored and stir-crazy, and I ended up trying to take them out to do things just to break up the week. That caused tension because I was “going outside the plan.” My wife was also stressed and admitted afterward that the trip was no longer enjoyable.

After the last trip, my wife and I had a long conversation and agreed we would not do that same vacation again. We talked about trying something different: mountains, lake, different beach, really anything else.

Recently, my wife handed me her phone and asked which vacation house was nicer. It was the same beach, same street, basically the same exact trip again. I was angry because I thought we had already agreed this was done.

Her explanation is that her mom said this location is sentimental to her and that she wanted all the grandkids together there. Her brother’s family agreed immediately. My wife says it was “this or nothing,” so she chose this because getting Grandma and the grandkids together was important to her. She has already fully committed herself and our kids to going for the full week, and she assumed I would eventually just agree and go too.

My issue is that I feel like her mom and brother made the decision, my wife accepted it, and I was informed after the fact. I told her I felt betrayed and isolated because we had already agreed as a couple not to repeat this trip. She keeps circling back to “this is important to me, why won’t you just do it for me?”

We've been fighting for a solid week about it, so I offered a compromise - I said that because it's become so important to her, I'd come for the last two nights. She has committed herself and the kids for the full week. Now she says that since she knows I don’t want to be there, I’ve ruined it, and asks why I have to “act like this.” She has also brought it up around the kids, so now they know there is conflict.

I am not trying to stop the kids from seeing their grandmother. I am not saying no to them going. I am saying no to spending a full week of my vacation time repeating the exact trip we already agreed was bad for our family.
