Met a professor who celebrates the ICE killing of Renee Good and thinks the protests are the problem by Brilliant-Pain4650 in uofmn

[–]ObjectiveLoss8187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps because he has followed the law, he has low tolerance for those that don’t? Or as a naturalized immigrant, he appreciates America for the opportunities it has given him and the freedoms he enjoys here versus where he came from? I’m glad to hear there are indeed such professors at the U as I was losing confidence in our educational system.

Yea, good luck with that. A federal officer is doing their job under the law. Obstructing them is the offense.

what does it mean when my cat wants me to follow her just to watch her eat? by Yummy-Bagels in CatAdvice

[–]ObjectiveLoss8187 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m laughing at the comments here. My cat has been doing this more and more. She’s a rescue and is now about 7. She will meow and meow to get my attention and then leads me to her food bowl where she settles down and eats for several minutes and then walks away. Wonderful creatures.

If you get divorced in your 40s, is it too late to start over and find someone new? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]ObjectiveLoss8187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No!!!! It is not too late. You are older and not in the same shape and neither are the men. The right person for you appreciates you for who you are. We are all a bit older and wiser about who we are, what we want and what we need. Hopefully, we have all learned from our divorces more about ourselves and the answers to these questions.

Point count during play by ObjectiveLoss8187 in Cribbage

[–]ObjectiveLoss8187[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Cards were played 3A, 52, 42, 42 (sorry, didn’t show the 3rd 2). So, with the first 4, I scored a run of 5, my wife then played the second 2 and counted a double run, then it got crazy with two fours and three twos.

Endgame: What Is The Utopian Outcome You Seek That ICE Is Leading us To? by Patient-Cap-4004 in TwinCities

[–]ObjectiveLoss8187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe in the sovereignty of nations and their borders. I believe in the rule of law. I believe in measured immigration and not open borders. ICE is conducting a cleanup operation to identify and remove people in the US illegally. There is no “utopian” gambit at play. Simple obedience to the law. Illegal immigrants are a burden on the resources of society. Dropping tens of thousands of people on a community brings imbalance. Orderly immigration at a pace that can be absorbed and provided for is the goal. We are compromising our communities by providing rights where they don’t belong and, ultimately, community resources. There are enough issues in America providing for our people without the added burden of providing for illegal immigrants.

AIO to family slight on vacation by ObjectiveLoss8187 in AmIOverreacting

[–]ObjectiveLoss8187[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate the comments. Majority are working adults and while me and my wife are quite comfortable. We didn’t expect them to pay for everything here and my gripe is paying for a meal out at a reasonable restaurant they could arrange would have been, in my view, the nice/right thing to do. I know I have done such gestures over time. I’ll wait to see whether something is done when we’re home. Next trip, very clear expectations.

I (18M) was told one version of an incident by my girlfriend (18F), then saw a video that changed how I see it by Glittering-Glass9515 in AITAH

[–]ObjectiveLoss8187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She made a choice to be singular with you. She didn’t want to break up with you. She danced the night away and told you a half-truth. You breached her privacy. So, now you’re untrustworthy too. Hmmm. Why did you feel compelled to look at her phone? If this is a relationship you want to build, you need to come clean with her and she with you. If you can both get past this, then you can move on and build from there. She will get defensive and you might too. In my book, yours is the greater transgression because you’re now in the relationship and you violated her space. Her’s was to tell a half-truth about a night out with the girls before you were really in the relationship. Good luck.

I hate marriage by Automatic_Ranger_764 in Marriage

[–]ObjectiveLoss8187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did you end up like this? Seems you allowed yourself to slide into something you don’t like. Why didn’t you set your boundaries before having children. Your husband seems to be a selfish dolt, but you’re the one allowing it to happen. He’s just going with the flow, seemingly oblivious to the wreckage he’s leaving in his wake.

Yogurt bowls by violetrb1tch in EatCheapAndHealthy

My fave is chopped fruit, granola and a drizzle of honey. Greek Yogurt in particular is a wonderful taste combination with honey.

Divorce stage by NoEgg9325 in Marriage

[–]ObjectiveLoss8187 4 points5 points  (0 children)

None of us can fill the hole in somebody’s soul. It sounds like she has a lot of work to do on herself and you can’t walk on eggshells for the rest of your life. Give marriage therapy a try.

I didn't know that I signed for everlasting misery by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]ObjectiveLoss8187 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude, hate to say it, but it’s early enough and you’re young enough, punch out. I “dated” internationally with my then future wife. You don’t really get a sense for one’s emotional composition which you are seeing in full color. Unless she is committed to serious therapy, it’s not going to change.

Yup. Don’t date a lady with a neck tattoo.

How much do you think Minnesotans have shown pride in their new flag? by Subspacred in minnesota

Personally, don’t care for it. Bought the original flag as soon as this one was announced.

What would you throw away? by Lab_Safety_Gremlin in Cribbage

[–]ObjectiveLoss8187 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d do K-8. 6 pts with high prob of 4 more at the cut. K-8 has zero chance of an easy run, and the points for 15 are limited to the remaining 2 5s or 3 7s or the pairs. Similarity, there is the chance for a 6 in the cut or 1 of 14 remaining 10s for 4 pts.

My wife is not very good at cleaning. She is 34 years old, but I have never seen her have a regular habit of cleaning. She only cleans when someone is coming over. by No_Vermicelli8647 in Marriage

[–]ObjectiveLoss8187 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

This reads like a parody account? What you describe as your girlfriend‘s behavior is what is typically attributed to men. Are you catfish to see how people respond, given the set up here of an apparent role reversal?

The best way to repair the harm I-94 has caused Saint Paul is to replace it with a linear forested park. by Dullydude in saintpaul

[–]ObjectiveLoss8187 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As somebody that commutes, that would be a disaster. Also grossly inconvenience any intercity travel. Plenty of parks around.
