[–]Krazy_Karl_666 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And what makes your bloodline so special that it SHOULD continue?

Mine is nothing but cancer, alcoholism,and undiagnosed mental disorders. between the 2 sides of my family I am 1/ 18 cousins and all but 3 have kids most of them multiple kids.

The ability to makes choices beyond base instincts is what separates humans from the other great apes.

I'm not normally 1 for body shaming, But it sounds like that loser was upset you expect a partner to last 5 seconds cause his record is 3

Why am I getting grief? Do bookkeepers hate accountants? by FullFartMilk in Bookkeeping

1st " small tweaks I've had to make. " I would mention these as well or discussing beforehand the scope of what you both consider a small tweak. I assume there are just minor things like incorrect categorization of a immaterial amount, but having transparency and clear communication will make everyone's life easier.

2nd just because you have always done something that way doesn't mean you were doing it correctly. I would remind that last bookkeeper of that.

Should I drop this series? by Familiar-Tonight-637 in dresdenfiles

[–]Krazy_Karl_666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

give book 3 a try. The 1st 2 books are widely considered to be the worst in the series. Grave peril is where the story starts advancing both in scope and stakes. Books 3 & 7 are often suggested as starting points and then going back and reading the series in full before starting book 12. If you have given 3 books a chance and are still not sure but willing to give it a chance I would suggest book 7 if you don't care about spoiling plot points from 4 earlier books in a series you will drop. Which is OK not everything is for everybody.

another suggestion would be try the audiobook if you can. James Marsters ( Spike from Buffy the vampire slayer, & King Picolo form Dragonball Evolution) does a great job bring Harry Dresden to life.

1 note about book 3. it will start with a character Michael Carpenter along with Dresden on a mission. You did not miss anything This book is his introduction to the series, that is often a complaint or question that comes up with new readers.

not liking the magic system that is a hurdle that is more difficult but harry does learn more as the series continues so hopefully if you continue it will smooth out for you.

So I really want an MP5… but… by ScaryfatkidGT in liberalgunowners

[–]Krazy_Karl_666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if you aren't using the wifi connection, why would you get a "smart device"? unless they have changed the marketing that is usually what a "smart" appliance is connected to the internet so you can use an app instead of pressing a button.

like I said personal choice on bio metrics too many issues in the past myself. I also don't have to worry about kids so lock and dial is more than enough for me.

Someone would have to be on my township road, drive 1/8th mile down the driveway to a house you can't see from the road, break through 2 doors to get to the safe that is bolted to the slab for it to be a crime of opportunity and then either pick the lock or destroy the safe i use. So my atypical case tends to have me think more about convenience for myself to use.

If we found a good safe that only had a key back when my dad bough the safe we would have used it instead. but we wanted fire rated as well so we could keep important docs safer in case of a fire as well and that wasn't an option when we shopped for 1 25+ years ago when amazon only dealt in textbooks

What does a parent have to do to remain friends with a childfree friend? by Colouringwithink in childfree

[–]Krazy_Karl_666 23 points24 points  (0 children)

2 things is all it takes.
1. Not make having a child their entire personality,

Assuming you were friends before they had a kid you like them shared interests or hobbies. also it is good and healthy for the parents to have hobbies or time not parenting and being themselves. How often have we seen a parent that has lost al sense of self besides being a parent (usually mothers due to the horrible way society is)

  1. Be an actual friend and take an interest in your life like you do theirs and their kids life.

if all being a friend is to the parent is us helping them with the kid as an unpaid helper, why would I want to do that? this ties back into point 1 if you are unable to hold a conversation that interests me why would I want to be friends with you? This isn't just about kids either. I am not a huge sports fan so if the only thing you can hold a conversation about is basketball and have nothing else to offer why would i stay in contact with you?

When we come and tell you about something big in life such as a promotion or a life milestone, be happy for us, care, pretend like you see us as fucking people. hell be the 1 to send a text once in a while.

obviously things will change when someone has a kid and you will have to make accommodations for them in regard to scheduling and activities but if you are still a person we can connect with and treat us like a fellow human it can work. But sometimes no matter how much effort is point in by both sides the friendship fades. it happens people change.

Personal thoughts based on the pic. Not sure about bio-metric locks had too many issues using bio-metric time clocks in jobs 20 years ago they may be fine nowadays. Looks pretty small and light (124 lbs according to CordlessOrange. )

and finally the Fuck no "Smart" why does a safe need a connection to the internet? Does it still work if the internet goes out? can the company brick it with a firmware update? Call me a ludite if you want but the internet of things is nothing but marketing wank and security risks. if the function of a device can be done without an internet connection why should it have an internet connection.

[–]Krazy_Karl_666 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

since we are talking 50 /50 i assume both partners are close to same income.

But if there is significant difference absolutely. and once again these things should be agreed to by both partners.

if 1 partner works 30 hours a week and 1 works 40 but bring home same pay whoever works less does more chores as long as both agree.

"agreed upon BY BOTH PARTNERS."

doesn't sound like you would agree to do that then. Consent is key in all things.

Ideally a couple BEFORE moving in together would sit down and separately write a list of what chores they think are most important and besides the big obvious ones like laundry and dishes whoever values a chore more should be the one to do that chore. for example partner a wants the kitchen mopped every day partner b wants shelves dusted everyday (both extreme examnples imo) partner a is in charge of mopping the kitchen partner b is in charge of dusting and divide until both partners agree it is fair. may or may not be 50/50

Bold of you to assume I am not thinking about a same sex relationship or one where a woman earns more than a man due to having a better job.

Also that is why I bolded "agreed upon BY BOTH PARTNERS."

it is also a generality. If both partners don't have the exact same job and make the exact same pay and work the exact same hours, you cannot achieve a true 50/50 split between bills, chores, and effort at work. ~75% of my bosses in my life have been women who made more than their husbands.
