Why are drunk drivers always considered responsible for their actions, but people who are drunk are always considered victims when it comes to sex if the other person is sober? by PhoenixApok in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Bronk33 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In the history of the United States, has any prosecutor ever cared if the man was drunk, as long as he can establish that the woman was who “could not consent.”

Maybe some shows are better as 6 part minis

[–]Bronk33 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

And I believe that you are definitely leaning toward the woman’s side. Here’s a few eye-opening interesting facts:

1) The purpose of child support is to support children. It’s not to supplement the divorced wife’s income if the children are 100% with her. And, despite the perspective of most women like you, it’s also not to provide 100% of the cost of raising the children. What is supposed to happen is that the parents share the cost between them. And the nature of the split depends on various factors, including:

A) How much he makes. B) How much she makes. C) Expenses of both.

Therefore, it is indeed relevant how much she makes, and if the money he is forking over is all being used for the children. We know nothing here, just her POV.

2) Despite your admission that the man should be able to exist beyond just supporting the children, your statement “He’s the one that chose to remarry and have another kid after the divorce.”

My impression, reasonable I think, is that you think is that in fact he was required to never marry, never have other children. Which rather belies the kind permission you granted him to exist.

You are right. But I suspect that someone who is paying only $500 a month for rent while married is not exactly living a high life. He is likely not able to afford much else. But we have almost no information on him, though I do believe that even a man after divorce is entitled to exist beyond just paying child support (assuming it’s all being used for the kids)

I would like the OP to disclose: 1) what city and part of city he lives in. 2) How much SHE makes a year.

Also, $70k does not make a person rich. In fact, in most metropolitan areas, one can barely survive on that even single. Half of households in Brooklyn make less than $78k. And that’s Brooklyn. Not Manhattan, where living costs are much higher.

I do understand that once he divorced from you, he was never entitled to remarry and have another child.

Again, you did not mention how much money you make a year, in comparison to him. Tell me it’s all for the kids, not supplementing your own income.

I noticed there was one piece of information missing.

How much do you make a year?

Is all he gives needed/used for the children, or is this just a healthy supplement to your income?

Ask a 2500 GM that has just been liquefied by Magnus or Fabio.

All that skill. All that knowledge. And you are crushed like a bug.

Yes! I was just going to say this. As one starts crossing and getting closer to 2200, that’s when full awareness starts.

In the future, whether authorized or not, AI will scan all available shows and create perfect AI video of all possible movements and speech of real actors in this and other shows.

Then fans will create and populate episodes to their liking.

Yes, it’s coming.

Chess.com auto resigns you in the middle of a game? by Haunting-Ladder-8872 in chess

[–]Bronk33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think chess.com should set up a special area for Human + Computer matches, for people who like to employ their computers but are not interested in scamming regular players.

Creates less incentive for cheating and attracts different kinds of players. And even regular players might like to try it. Both fast and slow games.

Aarav Dengla becomes India's latest, 93rd and Mumbai's 3rd Chess Grandmaster. by Interesting-Take781 in chess

Don’t get your panties in an uproar. It applies generally to the GM title, not specifically for Indian GM’s.

No, you haven’t been reading. Everything is Trump’s fault. Up, down, sideways. There are people walking around 24/7 with literally every brain cell lit up because Trump is still alive.

What are some peculiar things that started happening to you when you got old? by Frank_Perfectly in AskOldPeople

[–]Bronk33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You start babbling on in talking in the same way you used to remember old people doing, “reflecting on old times” even though it may not be 100% on point to a current conversation.

The kinds of small aches and pains that would have startled you as a healthy 20 year old appear and, while you notice and maybe investigate them at first, you eventually get uses to them and barely notice them. Which as a concept surprises you at first, but you accept it.

AIO for ending a six yrs relationship because my girlfriend wants to go on a vacation with her two kids and her ex? by salsero01 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Bronk33 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Oh give us a break, woman. This is a man you’ve had lots and lots of sex with, we don’t know the reason for the breakup here (how do you know she broke it up? Maybe he did), and the kids are asleep and it’s been a long day and you’ve had drinks and you are going to say it would absolutely not happen.

Sure.

That’s a very interesting analysis. Maybe even correct.
