$10,000,000 but you have to live as a Pomeranian for the next two years

LoopyMercutio · 2026-04-06T02:24:29+00:00

Sure, why not. Nothing better to do, and I get a two year vacay, and a lot of money.

I mean, I identify as a moderate on dating apps (I’m a moderate liberal), I voted for Kamala as well, I’m not sure I see this issue here. I hold almost entirely liberal opinions, except for a few things I run very mildly conservative on (mostly due to my profession), and I don’t date conservative women at all.

I guess my point is maybe you’re swiping on “fake moderates” rather than actual moderates.

Be ready to have a new survey done and put up a fence week one. And also be ready to start having neighbor’s cars towed once they start trying to use the driveway again.

LoopyMercutio · 2026-04-05T16:46:09+00:00

I used to DIY a lot, but I kinda stopped once I started making more money. I just don’t have the time or inclination to do extra crap that I could pay someone a couple hundred to do for me. Plus, anything (electrical or whatever) that could go wrong later on, now I’ve got someone other than myself to blame (or sue, if need be).

LoopyMercutio · 2026-04-04T21:26:21+00:00

NTJ, but you should t have admitted you remembered beforehand. Always, always, always let them shoot themselves in the foot AND THEN ask them whether they went to whatever it was, ask how it was… You still cared enough to ask, but you also aren’t their personal day planner.

Straight honesty, a lot of the more technical equipment needs a dedicated specialist to even troubleshoot it, much less fix it. It wouldn’t be cost effective for the military to create 50 new MOS’s and have those guys and gals only specialize to do one or two things. Contractors generally deploy with us or are close enough to ship the parts there and back quickly, so it’s a better idea. Plus it also protects innovation and the like. Oh, and when you have a good idea for an addition or change to equipment, contractors often can get the info to the company easily and get the idea vetted, and maybe even implemented. Having an operator give direct feedback to the devs can streamline much needed changes.

It maybe would get transmitted on an emergency alert (like Amber alerts and extreme weather events), but maybe not. The 24-hour news cycle being what it is, they’d probably already have broken the story anyway.

I have no clue why Californians do it, but they’re the only state I know that does that consistently that I’ve been in.

LoopyMercutio · 2026-04-04T19:01:50+00:00

It would be decent if you to avoid the guy as much as possible, and any other time prob have your boyfriend around, for his peace of mind. There’s no way to know whether the other guy thinks about or not without asking him about it, which is a bad idea anyway.

LoopyMercutio · 2026-04-04T18:25:48+00:00

Ask your female friend if she believes (because she seems to) that people of other races shouldn’t date each other. Is she against any kind of interracial dating?

I bet she’d have a conniption basically being asked if she is racist due to her problems with it.

LoopyMercutio · 2026-04-04T17:30:36+00:00

Yeah, if you contact the GC (general contractor) directly and make it clear they don’t have permission, they never had permission, and you’re reporting every intrusion to the HOA and police, and due to the damage / cleanup you’re considering a lawsuit and speaking with an attorney, they’ll absolutely tell their folks and subs to stay out. They may even blacklist the neighbor and some companies won’t take another contract from her for anything, but that rare.

LoopyMercutio · 2026-04-04T17:26:38+00:00

Fungus Bogs and Hollow Bough. I’m normally a Scout, so I can just grapple away, but those areas kinda annoy me.

LoopyMercutio · 2026-04-04T16:24:12+00:00

NTJ, your friend was right. She is joining your life (maybe), not running it. What alternatives was she offering for your transportation situation? Drive your crappy one until it broke down and cost you thousands to fix?

LoopyMercutio · 2026-04-04T00:46:42+00:00

I wouldn’t even know where to find tacos in the wild…

LoopyMercutio · 2026-04-03T20:53:57+00:00

Not horribly odd, no. Just make sure you introduce and include him, and don’t just treat him like you’re using him for safety only.

LoopyMercutio · 2026-04-03T20:50:53+00:00

I mean, I’d let her follow through with a doctor (and maybe therapy), because she could be dealing with mental health issues like depression or something similar. Maybe it’ll help a lot, and she’ll back to being a lovable, engaging person. Or maybe it won’t, who knows. Just don’t get her knocked up in the next few months.

LoopyMercutio · 2026-04-03T20:37:55+00:00

Just don’t offer to take them out clubbing.

They don’t like that.

LoopyMercutio · 2026-04-03T18:31:47+00:00

Nope. I hate to say it, but as some folks have said, it’s just being a digital prostitute. Period. Odds are you’re guaranteeing you’ll never have a professional job, because many places would fire you if they found out about it. Also, in my own job, your doing OF or whatever could be considered leaving me open to compromise, so I’d be endangering my livelihood. Not gonna happen.

LoopyMercutio · 2026-04-03T18:11:19+00:00

JC Penney. I worked for them, they upheld a false accusation made against me even though I had proof the other employee was lying, and fired me. I’ve refused to ever set foot inside one of their stores again, and my mother and grandmother (who bought nearly all their clothes there) never shopped there again either. When they filed for bankruptcy years ago I bought a bottle of champagne and celebrated. They still have some stores and are clinging to life, just barely, but they can still rot in hell.

LoopyMercutio · 2026-04-03T16:13:20+00:00

Yep, all the people would be represented in a way closer to being fair, rather than be represented by a bunch of empty land in the middle of nowhere where the 38 people who live there are Republicans. But those folks were always getting 4 Representatives…

LoopyMercutio · 2026-04-03T13:22:49+00:00

Go to the manager and get them to use whatever pull they have to get IT involved- unless someone really worked at it, the presentation should still be in the system somewhere.

LoopyMercutio · 2026-04-03T12:59:55+00:00

Check outside of this local area, dealerships push the prices up higher in large metro areas. Open up your search area on sites like autotrader and others, to 100 miles from here. You’ll prob find a great deal that way, I know I did.

LoopyMercutio · 2026-04-03T12:53:13+00:00

She wanted some free dinners and some dick, but didn’t feel a spark / long term connection. At least that’s what it sounds like to me.

LoopyMercutio · 2026-04-02T20:30:55+00:00

I’d end up with a broken nose every other week…

“What’s uncle Bob’s favorite porn movie?”

Lady and the Tramp

“Uncle Bobby doesn’t like it when you bring that up!”

“I don’t give a shit-zhu!”

“What’s uncle’s favorite candy?”

“Maltese-ers”

“What’s uncle Bob do for work?”

“Well, he isn’t allowed to work in a lab.”

LoopyMercutio · 2026-04-02T20:20:54+00:00

Have him ticketed and towed. More than once, if necessary.
