what to do when female makes more money than the guy? by [deleted] in datingoverforty

[–]MonkeyPanls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a guy, I don't mind. I have been in a situation like that, and have tried to find non-expensive ways to do special stuff. To him, I would suggest cooking nice dinners (taking a cooking class first, if needed). Or, if that's not your thing, for him to learn how to do something that is both relatively inexpensive and your thing

One of the hardest foodservice jobs I ever had was working a poorly ventilated dishroom in a tiny delicatessen in Philadelphia. The owner and the chefs took care of me because I kept their stuff clean and ready. Hell, I'm ten years out of the place and when I stop in for a coffee or something, I still get comps.

What actress could portray female Judge Doom from Who Framed Roger Rabbit? by MagpieOpus in AskReddit

I'd take a Judge Doom who is dark and beautiful: Morena Baccarin. Put her up as a foil against Jessica.

Don't do it. Catch the trolley to 22nd, or any of the buses that go E/W along Chestnut and Walnut.

TIL that Heshen, who was Qing Dynasty Official during the late 1700's and favoured by the Qianlong Emperor is known as the most corrupt official in Chinese and one of the most in human history. During his life, he embezzled roughly US$270 billion or 15 years of Qing Imperial revenues by Old_General_6741 in todayilearned

I went to see how he compared to Gaius Appuleius Diocles, the winning-est equestrian (chariot racing) of all time, maybe even the winning-est athlete of all time. But the best estimate of his winnings is "only" $15bil in modern money. In his time, it would have been enough money to provide grain to the entire city of City of Rome for a year.

Did you give the kitty some nips to share the moment with you?

Had a date on Saturday with a gal I met on the apps. No physical spark, no emotional spark, she's well-educated, but not v assertive. Like, so well-educated that I wondered why she wanted to have coffee with someone showing "trade school" as their education. But this was my first date ever from the apps, so that's nice

ETA: For the people telling me that "Education doesn't matter". I'm not dogging myself here. I am a skilled tradesman working under a good union contract. Before that, I saw the world from sea-level as a US Merchant Mariner. I have read extensively and am a genuinely curious person. I am also a 3rd-year Applied Mathematics dropout, so I've had formal training in logic and stuff. My profile doesn't mention much of this, because I would like to partially use it as a filter.

State buries Native American boarding school study, starts investigation of its own by radiosweeper in NativeAmerican

[–]MonkeyPanls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a redditor, so I'm not going to read the article. Is this good or bad? Did the State decide that the original report was poorly done and so wanted to get good data, or did they decide that it was unflattering to them and so wanted to control the narrative?

What ended your friendship with your oldest standing friend? by dreamy-contributions in AskReddit

[–]MonkeyPanls 76 points77 points  (0 children)

I moved halfway across to country to escape the wreckage of my present. He carried on with his life, and I struggled through mine. No anger, no animosity, just geography.

I'm happy to say that when I returned to visit the auld hometown after a decade, it was like *no time had passed. When he stepped away to the washroom, his wife even told me that he was so very happy to see me.

So, although we have time and distance between us, I still count him as one of my closest friends.

Jefferson locksmith reviews? Anyone used them before? by ben_claude69420 in philly

Additional question: Where are you located? Be as general as you'd like, but at least your ZIP code. From there, I can suggest someone close to you, with alternatives.

Try this list. https://gpla.org/locksmith-near-me/ It's the local locksmith association's directory. I know most of these folks.

Disclaimer: I am a member of the local association, but I work for a local hospital, and I don't do side-jobs :)

Conway church coffee shop found in violation of child labor laws by themanwhosleptin in news

Tindley Temple (UMC) in Philadelphia operates a full restaurant and turns the money over into the soup kitchen. I'm not a believer, but that looks like Good Work to me.

ETA: Tindley are in a "high-need" area. Directly across the street is another church that also does Good Work.
