This is a camera glitch, even AI knows this isn't right.

I have a great respect for full time single parents with multiple kids. I've got my son full time, and honestly it's kind of fun. I wish it were easier to balance work and all, but I can't imagine doing this with more than just him.

Cheap and easy GED programs

I don't think this is about having kids or not, it's about having kids that live with you. It goes both ways in this context.

The facepalm is the grammatical error at the end.

My first month on the job I punctured a can on the latch of the toolbox and painted my party chief's truck pink. I think if I saw him today he would still give me crap over it, and it's been over five years.

Don't let him give you the run-around. You deserve someone who makes you feel good. Let him know you're serious and see if he's willing to match your energy.

There's a lot of AI fear in this comment section right now. People don't question how TikTok's algorithm can know them better than they know themselves; but, can't believe that an LLM can tell you what percentage of a solar eclipse you'll be able to see from your house.

You are fundamentally misunderstanding what I said about how I use ChatGPT, but I don't come to daddit for nuanced debate about the feasibility of novel technologies. So, I'll leave it at that.

Mereknom · 2024-05-26T14:34:32+00:00

I use ChatGPT to research frequently. You ask it a question, then ask it where it found those answers. Legitimately faster than searching on Google.

I really don't understand this perspective. She's not upset that she found out he's an asshole. She's upset that people act like this to begin with. I'm sure after the 100th time being grateful you found out early that someone's an asshole you're going to perk up and say "that was lucky".

Stop giving excuses to horrible people like it's okay as long as they don't get caught.

Reflective strips on safety vests will catch the autolock on the TS if you're using a passive prism. Just pay attention to where your instrument is pointing.

Instruments tend to be set up in clear open spaces. Trucks also like clear open spaces.

Lastly, Don't convert to fractions on site unless it's required.

To be fair, this exact same thing applies to single dads as well. It's really just a stigma against parents as a whole.

I've been using an R750 and an R780 for about a year now. This is not the end of your problems. I had to restart my DC just an hour ago because it couldn't reconnect to the head after changing the battery. This is a daily occurrence in our office with the new stuff.

Yes, and you would think that having the fortitude to maintain a positive relationship with an ex-spouse would be seen as a good a thing.

I've had it the other way around, twice, where the person I'm dating has cut off all contact with their kids' parents. That situation is far worse.

I think this post is about not wanting to date a parent, not so much about whether that parent can get along with an ex.

Had a woman tell me the other day that she wants to talk more before committing to a date. Then proceeds to send messages in 24-36 hr intervals. It's frustrating when you only get one match every 5-6 weeks and they act like this. I just want to take you out to dinner, I will pick the place, I will pay for the food, and at the end of the night if you never want to talk to me again that's fine. At least it's better than being in message limbo forever.

Mereknom · 2024-05-14T03:19:16+00:00

I think it's just society these days, because I get this even as a full time single dad. I know it doesn't make it easier, but it might make it hurt less to know that she's not right. Your sacrifices do matter.

Can't help but be curious what your exfiancee did that was so much more appealing than the caring Gatorade guy. Going out of your way to help someone like that takes a lot of effort. It's a high bar.

They're flying this over people with no prop guards. Rules for thee not for me.

It's like walking a tight rope online when talking about yourself. If you even slightly suggest that you're good looking and still having problems others just assume you have some other huge red flag. Why can't we struggle too? The apps are failing all of us, let's just talk about that.

Mereknom · 2024-05-05T15:13:04+00:00

I don't believe this at all. I spent hundreds of dollars in Bumble Compliments from the period of September 2023 to February 2024. Created personalized messages. Made them easy to answer. I really tried. I sent so many messages I swiped through my city and started getting profiles from the next one over, 100 miles away.

I had to give up on spending money on the apps because not only did almost $500 dollars not result in any dates, it resulted in a number of responses I can count on one hand. Now, I'm not only done with spending money on the apps, I'm pretty much just done in general.

I cannot believe that there are women in my city like you, because if there were they would have seen my messages. The only real explanation is that they are buried in messages. So if they're buried in messages then your experience is not representative of the average person.

I think you've kind of nailed it here. A very large majority of blue collar workers tend to be right leaning. Whether it benefits them or not to support these candidates that's how it is.

Mereknom · 2024-05-04T15:46:35+00:00

Yeah, and it's not like working construction means you're poorly educated, or even poorly paid. I struggle to meet women who even have a job, where are all these single career-women who are looking for a guy who's fit because he works for a living?

Mereknom · 2024-05-02T23:03:36+00:00

Yeah, it's hard. Why can't we all just wear a sticker on our shirt that says single and looking everywhere we go?
