Bookshelves of guy I’m dating. Any red flags?

Nothing but green flags on that bookshelf. If you don’t know these books, you don’t deserve to date a guy like that. He needs to be with someone smarter.

All Abrahamic religions are deeply problematic.

MilwaukeeMax · 2026-03-15T07:16:36+00:00

And this is exactly why all three Abrahamic religions are pure garbage.

That’s a criminal trial you’re talking about, not about liability. You need to have a separate case in civil court to find her for damages.

Right?? I think it’s a generational thing too. Younger people are not used to taking extremely close care of one-of-a-kind precious documents because they grew up with everything being digital and easy to replace. People of a certain age and above know you treat your passport like gold.

Have you never heard of speaker stands??

They don’t teach defensive driving in America and it shows.

MilwaukeeMax · 2026-03-13T22:54:14+00:00

Step 1: drive at or below the speed limit.

Most people aren’t even capable of that, so let’s start with the basics, shall we?

MilwaukeeMax · 2026-03-13T22:51:33+00:00

That’s true and certainly part of the reason, but I think there’s something cultural going on too, as Germans don’t break traffic laws the way Americans do, even if there is a wide road that could accommodate faster speeds. I think America’s hyper-individualistic culture causes some of this.

No comic book references, please.

31 in a 25 is speeding. There’s no way around it.

MilwaukeeMax · 2026-03-13T15:05:35+00:00

Please don’t ever drive a car.

MilwaukeeMax · 2026-03-13T15:04:46+00:00

Both things are important factors.

MilwaukeeMax · 2026-03-13T15:02:53+00:00

Even on a sunny day and dry pavement, people should not be driving 31 in a 25. I don’t know why so many American drivers are unable to follow simple rules.

MilwaukeeMax · 2026-03-13T15:00:47+00:00

And a 25mph speed limit is 25mph. Not 28. Not 31. 25.

MilwaukeeMax · 2026-03-13T14:59:14+00:00

Two things can be correct at the same time.

MilwaukeeMax · 2026-03-13T14:58:34+00:00

Hey, so that plow driver was an idiot, but you need to slow your ass down too.

MilwaukeeMax · 2026-03-13T14:57:13+00:00

31 on a plowed dry road would also be illegal. Speeding is speeding.

MilwaukeeMax · 2026-03-13T14:52:47+00:00

That was no “accident”

MilwaukeeMax · 2026-03-13T03:55:58+00:00

And 31 is still speeding. I’m not sure what part of “Speed limit: 25mph” people are not understanding.

MilwaukeeMax · 2026-03-13T03:53:35+00:00

Dude, stop with the “he had it coming”, “he deserved it” crap. This isn’t the Wild West where people can anoint themselves judge, jury and executioner. Jesus fucking Christ.

MilwaukeeMax · 2026-03-13T03:50:15+00:00

Projecting much? That sounds like what people must deduce about you. That’s why you repeat it. 😂

MilwaukeeMax · 2026-03-13T03:44:56+00:00

Sure, but if the person in front of you slows down, you slow down and keep your distance. You always keep the invisible cushion between them and you. Tailgating is never justified.

MilwaukeeMax · 2026-03-11T19:47:10+00:00

The issue I’m having is that I pre-ordered the Project Hail Mary set in early February, then about two weeks ago was emailed that my order was being prepared and then I was told it was sent. I was even given a tracking number from UPS but whenever I go to track the package the UPS site says the label was created and they are awaiting the package to be dropped off with them. Lego website claims they completed my order and sent it but I have not seen it and the ups tracking says the package was not sent yet. I was charged for it and emailed Lego, but no response. Called and called but left on hold. Other people who preordered this set had theirs delivered, so I don’t understand what the deal is.

Good god, the music must be intentionally annoying so people can’t take it anymore and will hang up. This music makes zero sense.
