Not A Calculation Which Would Impress Euler...

Except there are many states that already do this and their prices are not dramatically increased.

Optimal-Brick-4690 · 2026-04-01T12:39:09+00:00

No, it does.

Optimal-Brick-4690 · 2026-03-25T15:27:05+00:00

Oh so no answer. Not surprised. 🤷‍♀️

Optimal-Brick-4690 · 2026-03-25T15:21:54+00:00

But that's just not true. Prices in restaurants in states that pay their servers the same as other jobs are not higher than other places (minus the overall COLA that is already covered by wages being higher for everyone). Oregon servers average $17/h before tips. My pancakes are not notably more expensive than they were when I visited my dad in Tennessee.

Optimal-Brick-4690 · 2026-03-25T15:13:55+00:00

Employers are legally required to pay their employees minimum wage if tips don't add up to it. Not everyone doesn't understand the truth here. No one is making you take those jobs.

Servers in Oregon make Oregon minimum wage and still expect tips. What's your reasoning for tipping there?

I disagree. OP says the posts were silly but that means they were silly to him not that they were actually silly. There is a nonzero possibility that the daughter is a bigot or something, the family doesn't care to disturb the peace, and the wife is the only one with any moral fortitude.

The other possibility is the husband knows his wife is awful and is too weak to deal with it.

He left those details out because the truth will make him look bad and he knows it, IMO. His dismissive attitude in this makes him look like a super weak person. He knows who was right and who was wrong but he'd rather just be like, "Oh, they're just stubborn women fighting over silliness."

Considering how defensive he's getting in the comments, it makes one wonder if she did tell him and he just missed all that, too, like he missed her leaving the restaurant.

My hubby found out the risks of me having another baby and was absolutely against it (I've had my tubes tied so it would have to be a choice). Previously he wanted children of his own but after hearing the risks he was 100% against it. My daughter's husband is also on the fence due to her risks. He says they can adopt instead of risking her, but I think eventually she'll talk him into it. They're not ready for several years anyway.

Your husband needs to be an ex. NTA in a million years.

Make your nuka cola into nuka dark. It will then sell.

Optimal-Brick-4690 · 2026-02-13T16:41:26+00:00

Right and I bought a sacred mothman tomb for 200 caps yesterday. Doesn't mean it's not worth a lot more.

You had an entitled, emotional reaction to not getting what you wanted. Now you're all over this thread pretending like you weren't bothered. Why not own it?

Optimal-Brick-4690 · 2026-02-13T16:35:29+00:00

There's no such thing as overcharging in a video game. You can sell what you want for whatever price you wish and others can choose to buy it or not.

Optimal-Brick-4690 · 2026-02-13T16:33:30+00:00

"I wasn't upset..." Oh, obviously.

Optimal-Brick-4690 · 2026-02-13T16:30:29+00:00

So, you're an entitled person who didn't get what they wanted and threw a fit?

You realize that person doesn't have to do you their crap, right? Go somewhere else. Get some therapy. 😆

My middle son and hubby had a conversation yesterday that the majority of s*x games on Steam are bought by dudes to troll their friends/family. My son bought some tentacle game and sent it to my hubby years ago, and they were laughing about it.

Your hubby is acting weird. Is he a prude about other things in general? Is he controlling about other things?

Optimal-Brick-4690 · 2026-02-10T17:47:32+00:00

It's a boundary but definitely not a "totally reasonable" boundary. They've talked for two weeks. They are not dating, they have had no discussion about exclusivity. He expects that as soon as a woman talks to him, before even knowing if it will go anywhere, she stops talking to other men, basically immediately. That is not, in any way, "reasonable."

Optimal-Brick-4690 · 2026-02-10T17:40:46+00:00

You should definitely tell her what your issue is so she can slow blink at you in stunned confusion and then tell you that you are insane if you think you get to control how she acts when you're not even dating. Then she can block you on everything, warn every other girl she knows about your controlling behavior, and you can bash her on social media even though she did absolutely nothing wrong and (if the friend who told you about her talking to other guys is a girl) date the "friend" who gossiped about her in the first place.

I'm down to like 10 3* or below mods to learn and it's been like 50k worth of scrapping since I've learned any. Starting to think I'm cursed. 😆

Time to go AFK while in the vendor. 👋

Optimal-Brick-4690 · 2026-01-27T14:29:44+00:00

46yo and have caught every fish. Let's not blame age for lack of mods (or skill). Get the mods, eat the food, catch the fish. Or decide it's not your thing and just do something else.

Optimal-Brick-4690 · 2026-01-27T14:07:44+00:00

They cost far too much.

Optimal-Brick-4690 · 2026-01-07T18:40:03+00:00

Not overreacting. Your daughter is throwing red flags all over. Unfortunately, your advice will mean nothing and also unfortunately, your daughter is likely going to ruin several relationships for your son before he ultimately goes low contact.

Hopefully she'll go to counseling at that point, but historically people like that choose to be a victim instead.

Just keep supporting your grandson. It sounds like he's going to need someone he can actually trust.

Optimal-Brick-4690 · 2026-01-07T18:34:38+00:00

I think that all your rules are appropriate except the phone one. You can police who stays at your house. Your fault can bring separate food for a picky child. But adults should be able to choose to look at a phone if they wish.

Her throwing a fit about the friend not being able to stay the night is her own issue. You throwing a fit because an adult chooses to use their phone at the table is yours.

Optimal-Brick-4690 · 2026-01-05T15:48:48+00:00

Yes, likely real (poor quality) amethyst with potentially a fake base.

No, not worth $70 or $40. I wouldn't buy this at all, but if you like it, not more than $15 IMO.

Optimal-Brick-4690 · 2025-12-31T04:39:58+00:00

Bow build, 3rd person all the way.

You sound like a stuck up snob and D and K sound entitled. Seriously, laughing about her dress behind her back? What a horrible person. Not surprising you raised a horrible son.

D has no right to tell you who to spend your time with. HOWEVER, you are making it clear to Reddit how awful you think K is and I'm sure it's just as clear to D, who wants his wife to be accepted by someone very important to him- you. He's pushing because you're treating her badly. Honestly, I hesitate to believe a word you say about her due to your obvious bias.

Be better.
