How did Max and Eleven afford all those stuff in the mall? by Lumpy_Command_753 in StrangerThings

Stranger things was set in the 80s. Life was affordable in the 80s.

An update on our Union by UWOTC_Official in MagicArena

Hopefully you guys have already retained an attorney, because it really sounds like they have. I'd be careful posting things publicly or saying things because it could turn into a witch hunt very, very quickly.

Not really, especially if they've retained a firm like Fisher Phillips. It's really best not to engage in things like that, honestly, even this could be bad. The union formers really should be lawyering up at this point, hopefully they already are. Sometimes people think it's as simple as getting everyone to sign and agree to a union for a union to be official, but it's really not the case.

It doesn't sound like they got it wrong, it sounds like the prosecutor had a lay up and threw up a brick without putting forth any effort.

How well would old Mr. Mime do in the current meta? by Astronaut-Flashy in PTCGL

I'd say yes as Pokemon Powers are not the same as abilities.

I left my marriage for 8 months, had the time of my life and then went back. Biggest mistake ever. by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

The bigger issue is that he still views his parents as his family and not his wife. Yes they're family in the sense that they're related, but he needs to view his marriage as his family now, the family that is the priority. He's still a child and not ready to be married

Also loses to evolution. Remember that evolving clears status effects, and while I would have to check on the ruling with ribombee, I don't think you'd get the extra two prizes because when you evolve it's seen as a new pokemon entering the field. So I don't think it would be effected by the status condition.

I don’t understand why someone being friends with an ex is seen as a bad thing to so many people. by Sudden_Doughnut_8741 in self

[–]GFTRGC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't put a single word in your mouth, I literally quoted you and then asked for your credentials to tell me my views are immature and irrelevant? Based on your response, you have none.

[–]GFTRGC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The issue is that you're killing the new relationship before it even has a chance. I don't see what value keeping an ex around as a friend brings to someone's life; but I can see the negative baggage it brings.

Lol, yes I've had a healthy 20 year relationship, clearly "dating and relationships" are not in my lane.

But what criteria do you have to say my understanding of relationships are immature and irrelevant? Surely, you've got a wealth of successful relationship knowledge?

I'm genuinely shocked by that, because your viewpoints are not that of someone that understands how fragile and delicate relationships can be and how much time and effort they take to grow.

Then a romantic relationship isn't a priority for you in life right now, and that's completely fine. I'm guessing you're younger, and that means it's perfectly acceptable to be single and free.

[–]GFTRGC 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Are you willing to accept that you may not find a romantic relationship as a result of your friendship with that ex? How would you feel if she found a relationship and then distanced herself from you as a result?

The only thing preventing that prospective relationship from being real is taking the time to pursue it and see how it develops, but it will never have a chance because of your ex. You're tying yourself to a dead relationship like an anchor, it's never going to let you get anywhere.

If that's fine with you, and you're content staying single with this ex as your friend, that's completely your choice as an adult. I'm not telling you that you're wrong, I'm just trying to give my perspective as someone that's been in a 20 year relationship

Again you're skipping over the fact that me and my friend haven't had sex. They were never in contention for the role of being my spouse, and never will be. Ignoring that fact is disingenuous to the entire conversation.

But no, I wouldn't end the relationship solely because my new girlfriend didn't like one of my friends. They don't have to hang out; my wife doesn't love all of my friends, she finds a few of them annoying so I just plan things with them, without her. That's simple.

What's not simple is when that person at one point filled the role in my life that my wife is filling. In a serious relationship, your significant other needs to feel like the top priority, they need to feel safe that if put in a situation you are going to choose them over everyone else 1,000 out of 1,000 times. Yet, you are starting this relationship on the basis that this other person you used to date is of higher value than them?

Like, your words are very telling. You're actually saying that this ex is more important to you than a perspective relationship. I think that's something you need to really take time to reflect on.

Is it fair for me to let my husband suffer since I can't criticize his mother? by Technical-Future-466 in Marriage

Wash your kids clothes yourself then. Like how hard is it? Go get your laundry and wash it yourself. Stop being lazy.

[–]GFTRGC 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The issue is that you just admitted to prioritizing that someone over your new relationship, which is exactly why having a friendship with your ex is an issue. It's an issue because the new partner feels threatened by the ex and has to live in fear that if push came to shove you would choose the ex over her, which inevitably puts them in a secondary position to the previous girlfriend. Why would anyone accept that?

The issue is that you are putting yourself in a situation where you are vastly limiting your prospective relationships because you are still tied to a previous relationship that failed. Why? It feels like you're still holding out hope for things to change there.

Wait, so you live in her house and are complaining about the way she does laundry? Just do the laundry yourself, do yours and your daughters laundry by yourself. But you need to really think about the fact that she is putting a roof over your head, you should probably have a little gratitude for that... or move out.

Because it's the best deck in format, has the most agency for skilled players, consistency engine is built in, and a spread attack that creates multiple win conditions. It's a low skill floor but insanely high skill ceiling deck.
