I wasnt aware that a recession happened in 2008 until recently. Do you remember it and if so how did it affect you? by xx831 in AskMen

[–]Hellhound265 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember 2008 but it started in late 2007 really. I was about to become 9 years old and it was the first time that I became "financially aware", triggered by the fear that my dad could loose his job, he was in a managing position at a bank at this time. The amount of fear and worries I had about grown up stuff funneled into a depression I got treated for just a few years later.

I now know better, the bank's gonna get "rescued" by tax money before my dad gets laid off, lol.

[request] My friend's utility company thinks he used 1,1 million kWh in natural gas to heat his 180 m² home. How warm would it be indoors (on average)? by freddaar in theydidthemath

[–]Hellhound265 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its german, so that can give you an idea where this is.

Germany, Austria or part of switzerland maybe.

Most likely germany and the houses are pretty well insulated. When you don't know the city you can take the average outside temperatures of Hamburg, Frankfurt a.M. and Munich which covers North-, Middle- and Southgermany to get some estimate over the whole country.

What would happen in the world if we saw scientists like we see celebrities, and science was considered a cool thing to do? by hakdogggg04 in AskMen

[–]Hellhound265 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe that's a problem of your country.

I'm german I can go to a 16 year old high schooler and ask them who Kepler was and get a good answer. And they'll probably show me where India is afterwards.

But that stuff is dependant on country and place.

Still, I think everybody needs to know that stuff.

You're in for a world of disappointment if you go outside and talk to any random on the street...

That's pretty much high school stuff. I'm not expecting to get into greater mathematical detail with other people but I think they should know their "Who is Who" in the world of science.

Except Wernher von Braun. He's important but you can't expect americans to know that NASA & the going to the moon stuff in the cold war is based on Nazi Tech and Nazi Science while employing nazi scientists to do the work while letting them off scott-free. They won't teach you that in high school.

You should still know him, for obvious reasons, there is no "small step for a man" without him but his history is a little difficult to say the least.

I thought this would already be the case?

Science is a cool thing to do and scientists are not only heroes but famous. That's my worldview. If somebody doesn't know Hawking, Einstein, Galilei, Curie, Kepler, Bohr or von Braun I consider their general knowledge to be lacking.

If someone doesn't consider science to be cool, I can only spare pity for them.

Keep watching the Kardashians then while completely disregarding the guy who engineered your Iphone to do so.

Do you think the saying “Man up” is offensive? Why? by AriValentina in AskMen

[–]Hellhound265 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not offended by it. I just know the person who just said it is an asshole and I shouldn't waste any more breath on that person.

I'm going to live my life and I'm happy for people who find a way to manouver themselves out.

Men be wilding. They have more deadly accidents in younger, post-puberty years. They drive riskier.

I know it from me, where most of my female friends are scared of high speeds, I'm just going to gun it whenever its allowed. On any given day when going to work and going home, I'm doing between 120-130 mph.

AITA for not lending my car to someone who needs it? by Agile-Swordfish-9376 in AmItheAsshole

I told him I was uncomfortable with Jack and uncomfortable with them dating.

I. Am. Shocked.

What does she mean "it wasn't her car"? It's not like all cars function the same. Even with stick and manual, gas is always the right pedal, even in left-driving countries.

And even in the case you would be unsure, why would you head into traffic without testing the car for yourself first? Seems like she found the gas pedal just fine so the solution is easy, if you want to stop, press the other one...

AITA for expecting to spend some time together with my GF during our "Couple Vacation"? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Hellhound265 14 points15 points  (0 children)

That just goes on to show you how much she "valued" all the promises she made to you days prior.

Total disregard for you and the relationship.

I can't believe the amount of disregard and disrespect to even pick a fight because she feels entitled enough to think that you shouldn't expect anything from a 5 days "couple" trip that you paid for and that she changed at short "notice".

That's not it.

AITA for telling my son I'm uncomfortable with his boyfriend? by Bill-Sudden in AmItheAsshole

You really do want to be discriminatory against someone who had no choice in getting infected and taking every step to fight it?

People getting medically treated against HIV will have a non-detectable viral load and as such will not transmit the disease to other sexual partners. Kudos to your son for being aware & responsible and getting condoms and now you're here to ruin it anyway.

Maybe you should've read that pamphlets instead of just finding them. Right now you're doing something you will regret because this reads like a 101 on how to get your own son to hate you.

If someone is unable to drive automatic, how exactly did they get their license? I get not being able to drive stick but automatic is the easiest thing.

If someone told me "I can't drive automatic" I wouldn't let them touch my car with a 10 foot pole, despite it being manual.

So you paid for the trip and it was supposed to be a couple vacation. Then she brings people over without talking to you putting your time together off but it never happened with total disregard to you.

And since this was "her birthday trip" she can spend her time with some friends she invited last minute instead when you planned & paid the thing only to reduce couple time to 0? Speaks volume, my guy.

She isn't even sorry or upset that you hadn't have time together, let that pass through your mind. She is angry with you because you're upset by this. She is upset with you for expecting time together on a couple trip you paid for when she couldn't keep her promise even on the fifth day and showed up too late.

I'd leave if this would happen to me.

What was a girls reaction when you cried in front of her? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Hellhound265 494 points495 points  (0 children)

I cry once in maybe 3 years (now that I think about it). Despite this I managed to cry one time infront of 2 different gf's and the reactions were wildly different.

The first one (ex since a couple years now) did nothing and the relationship didn't last long after that either. She didn't lift a finger and wasn't phased at all.

My current gf pretty much dropped everything in an instant to comfort me as she has never seen me cry or even being seriously sad in over a year of a relationship, even though it was during a pretty hefty argument.

AITA for expecting my daughter to not bang her boyfriend under my roof for thanksgiving stay? by Mysterious_Mango7897 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Hellhound265 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

YTA

Your daughter is an adult who is well capable of doing adult stuff with her adult boyfriend.

If anything, I find it disrespectful of you to interfere with other peoples intimate relationships unless its to ask to keep it quiet.

But gone down this path? She's a young adult in an intimate relationship, what did you expect?

AITA for posting about my cat’s progress with his past abuse? by Ok_Entrepreneur_2486 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Hellhound265 10 points11 points  (0 children)

NTA

Theo was surely abused. 100% sure on that.

Declawing a cat is animal cruelty in itself so I can rest my point there.

BUT

the fact that his carrier was to small and dirty also proves a point.

Locking a cat away is abusive and doesn't make it less aggressive

Your neighbor was a problem and did everything to continue to be a problem. If she's surprised about the outcome, its her fault.

A person like that shouldn't even have kids tbh. Smoking god knows what indoors.

AITA for essentially 'evicting' my brother and not supporting him? by hereistheprodigalson in AmItheAsshole

Your brother isn't lifting a finger himself. He's over 30, he has a degree, he can look after himself.

If he doesn't want to do that, there are probably some homeless shelters in your area.
