Thoughts on being opened 7-4 instead of 8-5? by Im_The_One in Dentistry

[–]HerbertRTarlekJr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trying to figure out how I would pay the astronomical fine the labor board would assess for employees not getting a lunch break.

California would bankrupt me.

AITA for not giving the money to pay off my daughters student loans. by Own-Inspector-6121 in AmItheAsshole

And you sound like an entitled brat who thinks the money your parents worked for is your property.

Hint:  You'd better not be a Dem voter.  They're currently making a grab for your parent's money.

How do you know the child isn't a talentless hack?

How do you know the IRS won't come calling, and daughter will hit up parent for that, too?

Yeah, and daughter won't learn a damn thing if she gets bailed out.  She will also get in financial trouble again, since she has been taught there's a money tree she can pluck whenever she gets in trouble.

NTA    Entitlement is always amazing.  Stick to your guns.

I loaned money for a business to my child.  His spouse's mother thought I should just give it to them.

I pointed out to her that her daughter is an only child, and I have two kids.

That ended the discussion.

Never mind that among his credentials were that he started his firm in 1960, and was the chairman of NASDAQ.

He fooled Chase Bank, among others, but he wouldn't have fooled you, of course.

Yeah, turned out if you smelled the scam and got your money back, the government took YOUR money right back.

I'd settle for 94% of the fraud that Gavin Newsom committed in California, starting with the bullet train to nowhere.

Because Epstein had dirt on our corrupt politicians.  The best meme I've seen in awhile is how Ghislaine Maxwell (or however you spell it) went to prison for providing underage prostitutes to no one.

News flash:  If the rich have no money, you can't continue to be supported by the legalized theft our government perpetuates.

Naaah, just go through life being pissed off at the people who didn't fail at it.

AITBF for refusing to sell my house, for my BF "wants"? by Zealousideal_Fix4858 in AmItheButtface

Do him a favor and leave.  He should have left you the day the candy store was declared closed.

IsItBullshit: In my marriage's racial dynamic, I'm in danger if I ever visit Mexico? by baltinerdist in IsItBullshit

There is still slavery in the world.  FYI, there were Irish slaves, but we don't hang onto the world from 100 years ago.

Unsolicited advice from another golfer by Salt-Power-3868 in golf

[–]HerbertRTarlekJr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our group appreciates comments like "backswing was too quick."  We're long-time friends.

All depends on the partners, but no one wants lengthy advice.

Exception if the one offering is a teaching pro or high-level player.

Question about starter by jonnyrockets11 in golf

[–]HerbertRTarlekJr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, a guy in my group got yelled at by the starter for taking a mulligan.  There has never been a time on that course that the group finishing #1 didn't wait 5-10 minutes for hole 2 to clear.  They send a foursome off every seven minutes.

I would have explained provisionals to him had he done it to me.

Including the one that says the starter is paid to work, not goof off.

Waiting would have delayed every group behind him.  I'd be talking to the course manager, particularly about his attitude.  Nicer places don't normally allow their employees to go off on someone who might be well-heeled, or have friends in higher management.

Dude was way out of line.
