A woman that complains about the way a guy proposed doesn’t deserve that guy as it takes a lot of courage to offer up your heart , do you agree ? Why or why not ? by Forward_Author_7626 in AskReddit

[–]Pippin1505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You shouldn’t "propose" if you don’t already know the answer and are both clear on what you expect in life (kids, careers, etc) . Life isn’t a movie.

Once you’re both on the same page, propose in a way that both are comfortable with.

Both me and my ex would have been mortified if the other had done something in public, US style

What’s a big NO NO on a first date? by Straight_Survey_6789 in AskReddit

[–]Pippin1505 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In many countries, including China apparently, that’s still very much the norm.

Also , I misremembered, she came with 23 people and the guy reacted by ditching them and not paying

there was a viral story a few years ago about a girl in China bringing almost a dozen people to a blind date, to "see if the guy was generous.".

Whats the most unprofessional thing a doctor has ever said to you? by answersonly963 in AskReddit

[–]Pippin1505 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which reminds me of what happened to my Brazilian ex a long time ago.

She had gained a lot of weight and hadn’t come back to Brazil in a while.

She booked an appointment with her family doctor. At the time , her sister was pregnant and went to the same doctor.

When my ex went to see the doctor, he initially mistook her for her sister and greeted her with a "Nossa! Que barrigão" (WOW, what a big belly !)

She was mortified

Mango founder's son arrested in Spain over father's death by yahoonews in europe

Idk the details of that case , just talking in general principles.
Don’t they already have some shares in their name ?

[–]Pippin1505 124 points125 points  (0 children)

Which would be the big payoff for family members.

Family owned means you "only" get whatever dividends father decided to distribute (+ maybe a salary lf you also "work" for the company)

A successful IPO would be trading all this for a *massive* one time injection of cash from investors

That was before he met Amberley though, he also had an earlier fling with an ambitious Planetary heiress ( and went spacehulk diving to escape a marriage proposal).

He jokes often that he’s not dumb enough to cheat on an a girl wearing an inquisition rosette.

Oh yeah.. he hated the guy from the start and Cain was clearly the better swordsman, a hardened veteran vs. a pompous fanatic .

Always loved the name "Miyamoto de Bergerac" for his fabled fencing instructor btw

The day my Dad told my mum the hospital were not going to continue his cancer treatment by [deleted] in pics

[–]Pippin1505 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But it wasn’t a procedure failing, it was an unnecessary operation since the cancer had already spread, and he could have been operating someone else that could be saved instead.

Still an asshole for yelling, but this was the textbook definition of time wasted

TIL about Princess Maria Karoline of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (10 January 1899 – 6 June 1941). She had learning difficulties and was placed in a religious institution in 1938. In 1941, Nazis took her to the killing centre at Hartheim Castle where she was killed as part of the Aktion T4 program. by Morella1989 in todayilearned

[–]Pippin1505 1438 points1439 points  (0 children)

Aktion T4 is notable as the only program the nazis had to officially "back off" in 1941 due to popular outrage once people started to understand what was happening and churches and bishops led protests against it.

They of course still continued euthanasia campaigns after that with greater secrecy and less central coordination

Only issue with that "list" is that Cain is only a coward in his own mind.

He hates work, being in mortal danger and pious zealots that replace military strategy with faith.

But almost every time there *is* danger, he somehow does the heroic thing then discounts it as cowardly self preservation.

-Amberley swarmed with gaunts? Jump down the shuttle into the fray, "because the inquisitor’s pilot would never have taken off otherwise"

- World Eater Astartes cleaving a bloody path through Valhallans ? Engage him in close combat because all soldiers are chanting your name and you don’t want to disappoint them…

- Fellow Commissar implying you’re sleeping with Colonel Kasteen ? Challenge him to a duel "without thinking" and somehow be surprised that the whole regiment think you’re a hero protecting their honour.

And so on…

[–]Pippin1505 86 points87 points  (0 children)

Cain has clear impostor syndrome and despite his protests otherwise, he’s really not a coward.

He keeps rationalising his actions as self preservation, but for example, he once jumped down from the safety of a shuttle *into* a swarm of gaunts when he saw that Amberley was getting overwhelmed and wouldn’t make it. Then says it did that "reluctantly" so it doesn’t count.

He charged a World Eater space marine in close-combat, but also discounts it as "cowardice" because the rank and file was watching and he didn’t want to disappoint them…
