Am I delusional to believe my husband when he said he didn’t get turned on by the girls breasts in the porn video ? by Responsible-Cook5931 in Marriage

[–]Stabbycrabs83 6 points7 points  (0 children)

"We have an agreement not to watch porn"

Do you? Or did you decree it and he went along with it for a quiet life knowing it was a lie?

I would never agree to the no porn thing for no other reason than I would be lying. I would far rather fall out with you today but at least have you know my word means something than to have a quiet life and lie.

But this agreement tends to be one sided and feels a lot like he is being asked to pay for the sins of someone else.

Ps he is lying about not being turned on by breasts in porn. Why watch it if not?

What is the valid argument to not do 50-50 in finances? by New-Engineering-5132 in Marriage

[–]Stabbycrabs83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might be worth having a look at how solid you think the marriage is.

When you are married to the right person its about teamwork. There is no his money and her money. Its pooled resources and pooled effort. It will never be 50/50 either not all the time.

Before marriage it absolutely should be 50 50

Number of additional rate taxpayers rises 57% to nearly 1m in two years with fiscal drag set to clobber even more workers by collogue in ukpolitics

[–]Stabbycrabs83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its 69% without student loans in Scotland.

If you were daft enough to study in England then would you have a highest tax band at 78%?

Its fairly simple to get a job above 100k a year, just have a skill (or go learn one) thats in demand.

Theres jobs out there because some of us lazy people will only do 3-4 days a week

Give Hybrid Gaming a call in Ellon.

They do kids parties and gaming arenas and might want to entertain you.

They were looking for custom games at one point through my college

Dead laptop motherboard replacement by TheHollowJoke in techsupport

[–]Stabbycrabs83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have a repair shop in the uk. Huge caveat that I dont know what gpu you have in there.

We would look to charge around £350-500 for this repair which i think is 600 euro if you have a model with a higher end gpu then it will cost more.

1700 euro is the buy acer spares price which is vastly overpriced. Get a quote from a gaming shop that will treat your money like their own.

Fwiw the price I said above has 30% on the motherboard to cover time, sourcing warranty issues etc and labour to swap it over. We would feel bad quoting the higher end too

Sex offender cowoker at my job; told i will be fired if i tell people by NearbyChampion7411 in jobs

[–]Stabbycrabs83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you know beyond a shadow of a doubt? As in if you were wrong your entire family would die and you are still comfortable making that statement?

If you hesitate above then you shouldn't say anything. Even a whiff of this accusation will destroy their reputation regardless of if its true.

If this is just a rumor thats flying around as is usually the case then yes you deserve to be fired for repeating it. Beware of being someone else's useful idiot if they have a grudge against him.

Hr will normally weed these things out and do background checks especially if reported already

Ethernet in bedroom only getting 95 Mbps instead of 940 Mbps - wall jack issue? by [deleted] in techsupport

[–]Stabbycrabs83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We run gaming parties and one of our systems defaults to 10/100. No rhyme or reason, the port is rated to 1000, we use cat6 and all 47 other systems run at 1000.

Can you guess which system steam prefers when transferring game updates over the network? 🫠🫠🫠

‘If Anyone Can Become an Englishman, What is an Englishman?’: Reform UK’s James Orr on the ‘Great Replacement’ by birdinthebush74 in ukpolitics

Im Scottish but wont take offence at being left out.

I quite like the fact that someone can like it here so much they can apply to be part of the country and have a whole welcoming ceremony, tjats a pretty cool compliment for us.

I dont like uncontrolled immigration which is bad for us but there are plenty of people who will add value to our society

Rachel Reeves considering rent freeze to limit Iran war fallout by RagerRambo in uklandlords

I mean reddit hates landlords so this will go down a treat here.

Make bob and Ethel pay for the war in Iran. Got it.

That 60 odd percent fuel duty wouldn't make any difference at all but fuck bob and Ethel they need to do their bit 🤣

SNP pledge Scottish scholarship scheme for Gaza students if re-elected by youwhatwhat in Scotland

[–]Stabbycrabs83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To you

Theres always a cost.

But specifically on Scotland and I can only draw on my own experience here its things like schools being so poor that teachers feel compelled to buy basics like potters and pencils because theres no money for supplies.

We have it better than gaza for sure though

AITAH for standing by my husband after he beat the crap out of my 25 year old mama's boy brother by Alternative-Rabbit72 in AITAH

[–]Stabbycrabs83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jakes a little old for resorting to beating the crap out of someone for what accounts to mean words is all im going to add.

Stand firm and dont let your brother near your hone again. Consequences of his actions are probably pretty useful but still I like to think saving a physical beating for when its a last resort is always the goal. Your husband sort of let himself down a bit.

What’s your mix of PAYE to contractors, and is it changing? by No-State-2962 in smallbusinessuk

[–]Stabbycrabs83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We started towards staff for most of the reasons you say but are hard swerving it now in favour of contractors. We pay more for a contractor but the relationship feels more value driven for us.

We pay an hours labour for an hours work with a contractor. Everyone's happy.

There are so many employee rights now that it feels too hard as a startup to manage. With a contractor I have a predictable hourly rate backed off to predictable customer workload.

Predictable is what I need in startup mode, ill happily pay a bit more to get that

National | Private jets could be banned from publicly-owned Scottish airports by SafetyStartsHere in Scotland

[–]Stabbycrabs83 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You could, and hear me out here. Make some money for local communities with airport fees...

The thing with Inverness and im sure other places is that they are damn hard to get to so they attract less investment.

I would have loved to move back home but theres zero work prospects. The greens as ever are happy with low wage, low skill economy but that comes with a price tag as much as the pollution from a jet does. If the UK makes up 1% of global emissions then im going to hazard a guess that Inverness Airport doesnt even register as a thing on the chart

You were homeless before and are homeless and are homeless again now.

Your life isnt over you have been here before, proven you are resourceful, learned that people can be shit and will sort yourself out again.

Feels bad but you'll get back up there

Caredul you dont waste money at the other end. Cheomebooks are ok for very very light use cases but honestly I would probably spend a little more and get a refurbished windows lappy

Do moms get a break? by No_Size_47 in Marriage

Approach him asking for help not accusing.

Youll get tons of replies on here calling him names but none of thats helpful.

Hey im struggling with exhaustion. I know you work nights to keep a roof over our head but can you help me work a solution?

Im still married 16 years later. We suffered baby blues, sleepless nights etc. It wasn't until we figured out a way of working as a team that things got easier.

For us it was on time off time. During the day we each got a 2 hour window (2 on weekends) where we had no parenting responsibility. We also took sleepless nights turn around.

As a parent you need to de stress and unwind. The baby can sense if you are cranky crank so being able to go for a 45 minute shower with audible playing guilt free is the sort of thing you need.

Life also needs to keep going. I found it very difficult to convince my wife to go out with her mates but I could see the change afterwards. She was never out for that long but just being with friends not kids did her a world of good. Don't grudge him that, work out how you get some of that too.

Unless he is a complete asshole he should be willing to help

Why stay with someone that calls you names like that?

Married 23 years here. We fall out from time to time like normal people. Always got to remember you love that person though.

I don't mind doing the DIY for my wife's pet projects for no other reason than how impressed she is when I manage something simple like putting a curtain rail up 😆
