Not to tell you how to live your life - and do take note that I don’t know you or your dad personally - but this sounds like a piece of generational trauma that you have the opportunity to get rid of. Best of luck!

Why the fuck did you have to pay rent the day you turned 18?!
Yeah, that would be a detriment to your financial stability.

Not here; They’re still called Toys “R” Us.
And from looking at the Wikipedia for Smyths it seems that they bought the Toys “R” Us stores in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Not really the same thing as here (Portugal, btw), I think, since they kept the branding, but IDK, I’m not an IP lawyer…

I guess this depends on the parents. Well, and on you, I suppose.

You would notice that I wrote, as a condition of the hypothetical, that you agree with the banning. Hence, it is perfectly irrelevant if you think it’s crazy, in actuality. It’s a hypothetical. You know? A hypothetical - a make-believe situation, if you will - to illustrate the question. It’s when you imagine something that isn’t real in hopes that, that way, you could maybe distance yourself from other factors that could cloud your judgement if you were tackling a real problem.
It does seem, based on yours and others’ replies, that this particular hypothetical wasn’t very effective. For that, I apologize.
I will, however, point out that it is indeed normal to be upset at other people when they wear intense and obtrusive perfumes, or if they smell intensely of something. If you smell terrible - including strong or disagreeable perfumes - you won’t be allowed into many establishments, may be kicked out of public transport, etc. So no, it’s not utter insanity, it’s actually perfectly normal.
Then again, nobody was arguing about that! So, I guess that’s that.
- Comment on Fun!!!! :) 1 month ago:
Lotsa fun :D

Right, OK, I get what you mean.
Well, other than this:
but leashed dogs that are aggressive are worse than a well behaved but unleashed dog so I let the unleashed and behaved ones slide.
Why?
Getting shot in the head is worse than getting stabbed in the calf, but I still think you shouldn’t stab me in the calf! Obviously that’s a very extreme example, but these rules exist for a reason.
The dog may seem well-behaved for now, but what if it gets bothered by something random, as dogs do? The whole point of the rule is to prevent aggressive dogs from bothering people, because owners seem to always think their dogs wouldn’t hurt a fly. If you only complain about a dog being unleashed after a dog misbehaves, then aren’t you just asking for an issue to happen, instead of preventing it by enforcing the rule?
You get what I mean?
Then again, it does bother me when people don’t use crosswalks or cut in line lol

Banning an allergen because a small fraction of the population suffer - Also No.
Well, that’s why I said you already agreed with the banning, as part of the hypothetical. Dang, I really feel like quite a few people got kind of hooked on that… I asked this in a Discord server and several people just said “well I wouldn’t want it banned.”
Just out of curiosity - and some frustration - what do you think would be a good abstraction for asking this question?
Regardless, sounds like a reasonable answer.
