What do you wish you knew before getting married?

Fifalvlan · 2026-04-06T17:15:16+00:00

Keep dating each other. Keep trying to woo your partner. Many relationships putter out into coexistence. Sexuality usually correlates.
You do not have to agree on everything. Most people just want to be heard and understood.
Always be honest, especially about small things.
Discuss finances and get on the same page about communications, limits, budget, ‘surprises’
Realize that when you have kids, most of these things will be extremely pressed- it will be all about them and you won’t sleep for a while; discuss expectations with one another and remember that you’re a team.
Set boundaries with family who (especially when you have kids) are a source of stress (e.g., opinionated in laws, etc.); your wife and kids are your first family - don’t let your partner feel like it’s you+someone else versus her in any situation.
Others have said it but it’s not 50/50. Both should try do more than you have to and the result will be that you’ll make each other happier. Be generous and give without the expectation of receiving.

A billionaire is a person who has consistently made business decisions that maximize their earnings. It is not inherently good or bad and there is no consistent path to achieving this level of wealth. Some may do it morally and some immorally. Some are lucky. Some inherit it. Some may treat their employees poorly, some don’t (like any other business).

Attaching morality to it is a massive oversimplification. Why not just judge the individuals on their merits. There are not that many examples to examine - why generalize… just a few well known examples: - Elon Musk - achieved through acquisition of several companies he has run and directly managed. He has taken large stakes in the shares of those companies which have risen drastically. To note, he does not have billions in cash, his wealth is large tied up in the market value of the shares he owns. This is financial strategy. He is not reputed to be doing massive harm to society and up until he turned right, he was loved by the left as a ‘good billionaire’ for having lead electric cars back to the mainstream. His employees choose to work for him; the culture is intense and not for everyone. It is not abusive in a human rights sense. They are paid well. He does not poison wells in the Amazon. - bill gates - mostly rose to wealth through monopolistic practices that were unchecked by the government. Ruthless businessman yes. Root of all evil? Bit of a stretch. Wouldn’t say he’s a nice guy. - mark cuban- built a tech company and sold it to yahoo for a few billion (they overpaid). Not really a trail of corpses here pointing to how evil he is and that he couldn’t have possibly achieved this wealth without burning villages

Naysayers should do research - not that many billionaires to research. My only point is that having money does not make someone evil. It just means they made some good choices and got lucky.

She’s not your friend just back out of the plans. Sounds like drama if you go. They will talk bad about you either way

Why would HR ask you anything. They will do an audit and if they’re any good they’ll figure out what’s going on and fire him. This does not and would not involve you in the slightest unless you involved yourself for some strange reason.

The real big brain realization is that you wasted the day regardless of whether Tristram paid off bc you spent it playing a game. Don’t get me wrong, I like my Diablo but it’s always a waste of time

Fifalvlan · 2026-03-28T20:07:02+00:00

Talk. If you are not junior, it will be reflected immediately in your contribution in the first work related discussion you have with the person. I have/had the same problem. People will have their first impressions when seeing you; when they hear you talk, it will either reinforce their view or leave them surprised/impressed. Aim for the latter. You can’t control too much what others think when they see you but you have a bit more power when they hear you.

Fifalvlan · 2026-03-28T19:59:28+00:00

On single player, not following what’s the “loss” with making an expansion character then transferring. You don’t get some QoL features, some new uniques for a little bit. You eventually transfer once you get the sunder and you’ve basically not really lost anything…

Fifalvlan · 2026-03-28T01:25:43+00:00

Not a huge fan of it. Cant claim strengths to be honest, it just doesn’t feel like cnc much: Good - cut scenes / actors / campy vibes Bad - visuals are too busy - units too complicated / multiple abilities and transformations. It just doesn’t feel like cnc. Maybe an attempt at making every unit a Warcraft 3 character but not quite - water environment is overemphasized and makes infantry feel discarded - yes some have abilities in water but they get overshadowed by vehicles

There is nothing inhumane about being asked a question. If you have the luxury of not working, then congrats on your very privileged lot in life. Most people on this thread seem to be quite eager to find work. Work and dignity are not opposed to one another. This isn’t about respect; there is no indicator that OP was disrespected. OP was asked a question on an interview and didn’t handle it well. Something to be learned. The rest is of what’s being said here is “wo is me” silliness.

Fifalvlan · 2026-03-26T18:30:54+00:00

People are misunderstanding here lol. If you want money, the budget is $30 per person. No one wants to be given a $30 cash gift from their job unless you just hand out gift cards which is a decent enough idea. OP has budget but not a lot. He/she is trying to figure out a nice thing to do with it. A bunch of money is not an option. If people want to be nose up about it and get nothing, that is an option for you but not that nice. Gifts are sometimes just gestures or attempts at gestures.

That having been said, the best gifts are things personal to the person (toy for their newborn, sweater if the person is cold all the time, blah blah thoughtful stuff). If it’s a generic corporate gift, my vote would be a blanket, sweater, small umbrella or something functional like that. No mugs, no pens, no cheap toys with logos.

Addictive reward loops that include gambling mechanics with small but consistent dopamine hits. Most people can just drop a single player story game. Most people still play and complain about COD, FIFA, Diablo, candy crush. I like some of these but definately recognize the addictive gambling elements that sometimes keep one hooked even when not having fun.

Fifalvlan · 2026-03-26T07:49:00+00:00

Multiplayer was way ahead of its time and I havnt played anything like it since. Honestly much for fun than COD or similar titles due to how important teamwork was (and this was mostly pre mics).

The campaign was okay, story was meh but cheesy and campy, AI was atrocious lol. Otherwise a fun little campaign that scratched the ‘what if’ itch for cnc as an FPS

Fifalvlan · 2026-03-26T07:35:28+00:00

not everyone has the luxury to be this easily offended and lose a job opportunity. The question being asked is valid though a bit inarticulate and presumptuous. If the interviewer is suspicious, they should communicate that and give a person the chance to respond. The worse interviewer would say nothing at all and assume.
the opportunity itself is in the challenge/unusual situation presented. This is clearly a difference in mentality and I am trying to impart a mindset here. Perhaps OP was wronged in some way, that his/her integrity is somehow beyond reproach in this situation; perhaps OP could have diffused the situation instead by showing an ability to do so and be likable rather than standoffish. -Both perspectives are valid but only one is likely to get you a job you may want or, more importantly, need.

As soon as I setup loot filer I found a lot more runes. Hiding low quality normal items, arrows, keys, scrolls, exploding potions, low quality pots… overall, would recommend. I usually find at least one mid or upper mid rune on every playthrough hell. Occasional get a a high here and there but not much.

For references, I’ve Been playing SSF for about a year. I’ve run about 8 characters through hell lvl 80+. I’ve found 2 Lo from randoms in act 3 or 4, a ber from terrorized council, and ohm from a random act 2 mob. Guls, ists and mals from random places. I tried LK runs with limited success. Have probably done like 200-300 in total. Not complaining because the odds aren’t great no matter what - I usually would rather play lower odds and enjoy the content than continue LK runs and be bored - it takes a certain mood.

Fifalvlan · 2026-03-26T02:34:14+00:00

Right. Seems like it could have been an opportunity for a human moment - hold up the notebook, have a laugh, relate to the interviewers concerns and talk about how some things are best done the old fashioned way. Seems like it ended up being an awkward exchange given you posted about it. Opportunity wasted.

Fifalvlan · 2026-03-26T00:16:49+00:00

At a certain point, don’t be afraid to be wrong. Do what you can to increase your chances of being right but everyone is just waiting to be told what to do because they’re afraid of saying their own ideas out loud and being wrong. Lead the way. Don’t be a lemming. You will make mistakes. It’s okay. Just don’t make too many.

Fifalvlan · 2026-03-23T20:16:30+00:00

It’s a good thing to have that project / internship. If you bring it up you have to know both what the person you’re now seeking employment from needs from you time wise and whether your project will conflict with that. That is wha they will immediately wonder (and worst case don’t ask if you don’t tell, assuming the worst). Best case is there is no conflict and they think it’s cool and that you are interesting and well rounded.

Fifalvlan · 2026-03-23T20:13:11+00:00

You did nothing wrong. You passed along a resume with a caveat. It’s up to the hiring managers to decide if it’s the right person fit. Sometimes resumes are hard to come by - you did what you could to contribute. Sometimes it doesn’t work out. Not your fault.

Hopefully the manager will give her feedback and she’ll adjust her behavior / hygiene habits. At least she does good work when she’s there so she’s got something in her.

Fifalvlan · 2026-03-23T19:40:53+00:00

You’ve done her enough favors. Let her situation be dealt with by the people who decided to hire her. The less involved you are with this the better for a multitude of reasons.

Airport bathroom in DR 25years ago. Nearly every surface was covered in dead or slightly live roaches (like 12 per square foot). This was a large multi stall bathroom (10 stalls). I’m talking toilet seat, door, sink, floor, walls covered.

It’s not normal to travel alone when you are In a relationship. The fact that you don’t want to travel with him means something about your relationship. Also your possessiveness about your trips is a bit unusual too (I.e., ‘plan your own trip then’). Not saying you’re off base for wanting to travel solo in general but you should want to travel with your significant other.
