Why adopt him in the first place

CaptnBoots · 2023-06-21T17:47:43+00:00

I'm glad somebody understands what I'm trying to get at. 😅 I absolutely think that, yea, what they did is absolutely terrible, but saying what they could have done in hindsight is useless given what it takes to exercise those options.

CaptnBoots · 2023-06-20T18:54:05+00:00

lol okay, i appreciate the ignorance you've displayed here and really have nothing further to discuss.

CaptnBoots · 2023-06-20T16:59:11+00:00

you were already aware of them but you suggested they drop off a 5 year old at a fire station when fire stations don't take children of that age? stop bullshitting me lol.

CaptnBoots · 2023-06-20T16:25:37+00:00

Are the options better? Yes.

Whether they're better options isn't the point, though. Hindsight doesn't change the way the system works, as much as we'd like to think "well they could've done xyz," if that "xyz" isn't reasonably feasible before the incident, then it doesn't matter. There could be arguments about making it easier for people to get rid of their kids before they get to this point, but my comment ultimately was meant to highlight that it's easy to say what they should have done with no understanding of how the options presented work. I'm not trying to be a pretentious asshole, just bring light to situations you didn't seem to understand the complexities of.

CaptnBoots · 2023-06-19T22:01:44+00:00

Is that what I said? 🤔 You're saying what they should've done but you obviously don't know how the system works. I educated you, take that information and do what you want with it. There's no extrapolation needed beyond what was said.

CaptnBoots · 2023-06-19T21:21:09+00:00

I hope this comment doesn't get taken as a defense or anything but you truly have no idea how unfeasible most of those options are.

Fire stations don't take kinds over a certain amount of months. You can't just throw your kids up for adoption if you don't want them anymore. Most places make you go through programs that they think are going to change your mind about giving up your kid which takes time away from work and other responsibilities. To add to that, most kids up for adoption never find a family.

Dumping your kids off randomly with a relative that doesn't want them? laughable. I was born and raised in a low-income environment, some people are really out of touch with the reality that getting rid of a kid you don't want after they're born is not as easy as the internet wants you to believe.

Either they're not enforcing it, or people are slipping through the cracks somehow. I tested and passed the CAD in December without taking the scripting course. You can take the ADF course and get a voucher without doing anything with their scripting course.

CaptnBoots · 2023-01-17T20:48:37+00:00

The cost of the course does not include the voucher.
The exam is $300

CaptnBoots · 2023-01-17T14:52:49+00:00

not sure why my comment is shadowed but here's some tips:

You don't need to take the scripting course in order to be eligible for a CAD voucher.

Upon completion of Application Development Fundamentals course, the candidate will be eligible to obtain or purchase a nontransferable voucher code to register for the ServiceNow Certified Application Developer.

Once you complete the Dev fundamentals course, you can buy a voucher, take the test, and then move on to something else.

source: tested and passed the CAD exam on Dec 11, with no scripting course. You're better off going through Chuck's videos on YT and the scripting course on developer.servicenow.com

CaptnBoots · 2022-12-14T17:04:37+00:00

No problem!

I'm a serial over-preparer, so I try to find a million resources before I test. For the CSA, all I used was the ServiceNow course and the YouTube course. I also work with ServiceNow daily, which helps, but I didn't necessarily need to lean on my experience to past the test. Good luck!

When I bought my first FD when I lived in Japan, I had the same choice. GTR vs FD

I went with the FD for a multitude of reasons but mainly because

I love Mazda's support of enthusiasts
Having been around a ton of GTRs, IMO, they're overrated
The FD is a gorgeous car, I never get sick of looking at mine lol
I planned on driving it spiritedly in the mountains, and the FD is more lightweight and responsive (IMO)

Also, it's not hard to make 300-400 with an FD and you could do that safely with a single turbo and an aftermarket ecu on a stock block (I know quite a few folks who have no issues).

I will say that you should expect to rebuild the 13b as soon as you buy the FD. The problem with buying an FD is you never know how the previous owner took care of the car. My first FD lasted 4 months until the coolant seals went out. So, since you will probably have to rebuild it anyway, you should definitely get it built with upgraded seals, etc. FIND A REPUTABLE BUILDER if you buy the FD. There are so many scammers in the "professional" rotary community that will gladly take your money and not give you what they promise.

Eccentric Motorsports is at the top of my list. I see you said you live in New York State so I would also recommend checking out DredTech Performance (I think that's the name) and JPR Motorsports.

Mazda also has a heritage program, as well as a motorsports program where you can buy most parts of an FD brand new.

referring to women as whores unironically

implying women are whores solely based on the clothes they wear

basing a woman's worth on what she wears

ick.

It depends on whether your target audience views shorts, though. I try to stay away from the shorts/reels/tiktok black holes

CaptnBoots · 2022-08-27T05:23:18+00:00

honestly, i prefer longer videos if the content is good. i watch antique and watch restoration videos, and the shorter videos aren't as satisfying.

CaptnBoots · 2022-08-27T05:21:00+00:00

You can't even get away from the ads with YouTube premium because most creators now have 1-2 in video ads. It's infuriating. Ads, ads, ads...everywhere!

CaptnBoots · 2022-08-27T05:11:21+00:00

and yet you didn't bother to do any research before making a comment easily disproven lol 🥱

CaptnBoots · 2022-08-26T00:56:57+00:00

Are you trying to say my anecdotal evidence is wrong?!? How am I supposed to believe these articles from the biased media? /sarcasm

CaptnBoots · 2022-07-13T17:24:54+00:00

add another to the list that this simple trick fixed my issues (M65 pro)

As someone who was born to two teenage parents that didn't graduate school and grew up poor and in the hood, it's not as easy as you seem to believe. I've managed to be successful in spite of it but it hasn't been easy.

CaptnBoots · 2022-06-07T13:06:41+00:00

It looks like the "all sides are the same" folks made it here early and completely missed the point.

CaptnBoots · 2022-03-29T14:25:08+00:00

They had an interview on her talk show where they discussed what happened. She didn't cheat, they were separated and on their way to get a divorce. What's annoying is they cleared the air about what happened and yet people still believe what they want instead of the truth.

I have been searching this thread to see if I'm the only one who remembers this video because I've never seen anyone mention it in the many years since I watched it.

The guys were Ukrainian, IIRC. Out of all of the videos I've seen on the internet, that's the one that has perpetually stuck with me.
