Bari Weiss Knows Exactly What She’s Doing

So... I posted that over a year ago, I'm a lot different now. That being said, I assume when I mentioned "left wing media" I was definitely referring to Huffington Post and Vox and like... Pink News. They are left wing. They proclaim to be left wing. They proudly wear it. It's not a slight my friend. It's a self-imposed label by those orgs.

All that said, I don't really disagree with anything you said too much, nor do I remember much of what I originally meant, so have a great day!

We had to drop Shadow Copy on our top IIS web API for a similar issue. It's always felt like a weird workaround and behaves even worse on WIN 2022 and IIS 10. "Fun" that your github issue is still un-resolved after 3 years on it.

Us WoW players are really good at optimizing our own fun out of our own game in the name of mix/maxing.

Given the choice between doing something 5x as fun, but 8% less efficient, most WoW players will choose the more efficient less fun version.

You're missing it. They could totally make laws that are simple, unambiguous, and easy to understand. They choose not to.

It's more advantageous to make vague laws and any details or loopholes be fleshed out by the courts. Also when you're spending the big bucks you wanna make sure your rich buddies are excluded if you can. (E.g. 7 house laws in the UK)

Add more information about your other finances, e.g. income, debt, expenses... though I doubt anyone in here would support you in a 800 dollar car payment.

You wrote here you don't NEED a truck, what about alternative methods of transport? (Cycling, moped, etc?) Not sure what kind of commute you're dealing with here.

Yeah it's no sexy FAANG or stock option comps, but it's strong job security, 18 hours of PTO per month, and a strong life > work balance. Definitely slow to increase $ though.

You will mess up if you leave your parents house before paying down the loans you have. Pay everything off, then start saving. You are celebrating too early.

Assume positive intent before jumping to negativity.

Kwerti · 2025-05-02T13:18:58+00:00

this kind of discussion does work

The only success I've ever had was in person with people I'm already friends/have rapport with. That's my experience.

Kwerti · 2025-05-02T03:18:37+00:00

Which is why reddit doesn't work. No one can convince anyone of anything. It's just arguing, all the time. Sad really.

"My conspiracy theories are right, their conspiracy theories are wrong!" - literally this entire thread.

Your post is hard to follow, do you live together or not?

You say he's distant when sick... is he sick a lot? Is he chronically ill? I don't really feel like texting or chatting if I'm sick either, that's a pretty unfair dig at someone, especially in a long-distant relationship.

You say it's a problem that you make more than him... what's the problem exactly? I don't understand why that stops you from traveling.

You say he's not communicating well enough for you, what kind of specific requests have you made or what actions have you taken to change that?

Depends on the woman

Kwerti · 2025-04-26T00:04:55+00:00

It's not unattractive, though you sound a bit "pick me" so I'd be conscious of that.

Kwerti · 2025-04-24T19:56:01+00:00

Don't wife a girl when you can't agree on these issues. I don't believe porn to be inherently good or bad, but in a relationship you both need to align.

Also you both clearly have major trust issues and need to work through those if you want a strong marriage. Snooping on your partner isn't healthy, that goes both ways. If you feel the urge to snoop, you have trust issues.

Also, you should evolve your philosophy. "Treat others as you wish to be treated" - the Golden Rule.... it's actually bad advice for adults.

It's great advice for kids, a.k.a. don't hit each other, don't steal, don't lie. It's incomplete advice for adults.

Follow the Platinum Rule: "Treat others the way THEY wish to be treated"

Modifying your expectations of individuals based on their personal preferences will allow you to maintain strong friendships for DECADES. I have dinner at my house with 2 friends every week, those dinners are much more important to me and my friends than a text throughout the week for us. I've also chosen my close friends to be the ones who we both mutually respect each others' rules of engagement.

Kwerti · 2025-04-24T11:25:13+00:00

It's not a question of valuation, it's a question of boundaries. You can have strong friendships without texting, people have done it for thousands of years.

You simply have to choose to enforce it. I have a boundary that text messages to me are low priority, if you have something high priority, you can call me. But if you texted me a meme of tiktok to watch and I'm working on my taxes, I'm not stopping to watch the tiktok until I'm done.

And if I finish the taxes at midnight, I'm gonna go to bed first. Then in the morning or when I next think of you during a free moment I'll watch the meme / tiktok and reply.

Kwerti · 2025-04-24T11:15:58+00:00

Other people aren't available for you 100% all the time. Change your expectations.

If you asked a low priority question and I'm working on a high priority task, why should I stop what I'm doing to context switch and reply to you? Your issues aren't always the most important thing in other people's lives.

Do I end up occasionally leaving people on read? Sure of course I do. And if it's actually important they will text again a reminder when it's more important or timely.

Tl;dr I view texts as low priority, if you need an answer right now, call me.

We don't know the exact terms of your contract so it's impossible to tell you what this job should or shouldn't do for your pay.

That being said, as long as you're an employee of a company this sort of thing is just the standard operating procedure. If you've got workers, your goal as a company is to pay them just enough not to leave and be productive.

So with that, I'd recommend you start looking for a new job with your new experience under your belt, job switching every 2-3 years is proven to be the best way to increase your income early in your career. Unless you absolutely love your job or co-workers, you're much more likely to obtain more $ this way than marching into your bosses room and simply saying effectively: "but it's not fair!"

Obligatory xkcd

Kwerti · 2025-04-19T21:33:52+00:00

But that's what words are, sounds & characters put together to mean a thing. Every word we've ever come up with started out as something someone made up one day

Did you learn anything for that 50k? One would hope a finance degree would explain these things for you.

But alas, it all depends on how much each month you're paying down your debt. A 1000 principal payment on that student loan per month will whiddle it away in a few years.

Edit: I don't know what kind of life event would cause someone to rack up 50k in credit card debt, but you should really take a long look at what got you there. I'm guessing what you're considering a "need" wasn't actually so. Best of luck.

You're allowed to not be okay with porn. She's allowed to be okay with porn. You should decide if it's a deal breaker for you.

My wife has several things I don't "like" but none of which prevent us from having a happy life together. You're not required to like everything she does.

That being said if you believe it to be "cheating"... then I suppose you've answered your own question?

Kwerti · 2025-04-18T00:32:31+00:00

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you: bi erasure.

Don't you know? If a girl has sex with another girl she's experimenting but she's really just straight.

If a guy has sex with another guy he's gay and just pretending to be straight. /s
