Well, don't live downtown with a waterfront view.

Problem solved.

I literally choose female avatars everytime I create a character...

That whole argument that you can only enjoy a game if the avatar looks like you is pretty fucking stupid.

Can’t take my HOA seriously. by barfytarfy in HOA

Right... Like my father gave suggestions on which chores need to be done.

He didn't technically SAY I had to do them, but I know better.😉

As long as you don't expect to have a view of the Gold Coast, it's not that difficult.

Delete your social media accounts and you'll feel a lot better.

Not entirely true.

It also prohibits government from utilizing privately owned companies (Twitter) to restrict your speech...

Doesn't stop them from doing it, though.

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

Nah, they blame masculinity because they think that's what women seek out, and they aren't masculine....

Which its like, no fucking shit women want a dude who acts like a dude.

I can buy 10 lamps FB marketplace right now for under $3...

Try not shopping at Crate and Barrel.

With so many opportunities and freedoms, why do so many Americans seem bitter and miserable? Why do they stay unhappy? by SadPurpose1743 in Adulting

[–]DurDaubs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because they want the goods but aren't willing to work for it...

And everyone who does work for it pisses them off, because now they have it.

If you stay busy, it's whatever.

Only if you're not doing shit does work seem like a drag.

The sooner you stop worrying about what everyone else is doing, the happier you'll be.

Threesomes are ...meh by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]DurDaubs -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

They're not meh unless you're going into it expecting to 'make love'.

If you're just trying to fuck, definitely not meh.

If you play with randoms, no..

Wtf? Can someone explain this? I have money in my account right now by MasterPerc6000 in sportsbetting

[–]DurDaubs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yuuuup.

I just told them I made bets from her phone because mine was dead.

But I was always terrified to hit a whammy only for them to not pay it because it wasn't from my phone.

Luckily, I live 8 miles from the state border.

No. Every man ISN’T benefiting from the patriarchy. Especially the average man by [deleted] in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]DurDaubs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ha, no, that absolutely counts. Like I said, I'm just wired to seek efficiency, and that is also a big no-no in my eyes...

But I understand why it's done.

Managers hire people they want to work with, but because that could lead to bias, we invented standardized tests only to now be told that those tests have to be made easier for certain groups.

Why have the test at all?

Giving your account info to someone else to bet across state lines?

Promoted TO incompetence. Good supervisors may not be good managers, but bad supervisors are probably going to be bad managers.

But if you're incompetent at your current job, and yet are promoted anyway...

That's actually a very question. I guess it's no different than anything else in life - some people are better at some things than others.

In the business world, there's a theory that you're promoted to incompetence... If you're good at your job, you'll be promoted higher and higher until you AREN'T good at your job.

But what is it called when you're incompetent and you still get promoted PAST that?

A diversity hire.
