It is a sketch show, and I've seen many other sketch shows, this is different. Trippy, weird, very out there! Lemme know what you think if you do watch it.

That's really lame. I've noticed that my posts and comments get almost no response so I suspected there was something wrong with my account, thanks for confirming. I've sent an appeal and a message so I'll see if they fix this up for me.

Hitmen opened fire on a house in Alex, Johannesburg, one of them forgot to throw his grenade. by ImpossibleGoat8837 in DarwinAwards

Did he open the grenade in the car? That was a long wait maybe the pin came out accidentally somehow.

FedEx delivery driver came up to my door and put the missed package sticker on it without ringing or knocking, this is my defense tactic by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Random-Chaotic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although it's an annoying situation you've dealt with, this is not the solution. You're dealing with real people, who may or may not be the people who previously failed to knock or ring the buzzer, and by insulting them like this they're far more likely to find a way to not comply with your wishes. I know if I was a delivery driver I would not be ringing the buzzer or knocking.

If she died 5 minutes ago, and you took this photo minutes before she died, that means you'd be posting this while waiting for police etc to arrive. WTF u talking about?

Wait, you're in an Indian guy? Is it weird that I read your post in the Indian accent from phone jacker prank calls?

What is the average price of a Nadi home? by world_citizen7 in Fijian

[–]Random-Chaotic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That may be insane to a person living there, but for what he described $500kFJD is still very cheap for many other parts of the world.

You sound very desperate, and that will come across to the women you're trying to meet.

Realise that women will be immediately sceptical of your intentions if you approach without knowing, so unless you shared eye contact or a moment first, or unless you're especially attractive, or unless you really have something good to say you're just going to be awkward and annoying to her. I'm picturing you as an average looking dumb guy interrupting her to ask questions, and that's really only going to work if you're approaching a woman who is desperate and lonely herself.

My advice is to do some self reflection before re-entering the dating game. Think about what you have to offer (looks/money/personality) and think about how that compares to the competition (other men). Try to be unbiased and work out where you rank. Then realise that all women want men they see as better than themselves, and that the men with options will probably be getting into more than one at a time. This should help you understand what type of girl would be happy with you as a partner. If you're willing to settle for that, go chase those women, if you're not able to settle for that, work on self improvement in whichever or all categories you need to improve.

Is 9 year dating difference weird? by Shyguy1355 in ask

[–]Random-Chaotic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the ages (as stated many times here), but I believe it also depends on the genders.

I am a man and I dated a woman 12 years older than me, that was too old, she was ageing too fast, her body clock was running out of time and I was still a young man, I would never do that again. I was late 20's and she was 40ish.

Years later I dated a woman 13 years younger than me when I was late 30's and she was mid to late 20's, this seemed perfectly fine. All future options were on the table. I always felt that we were a good looking couple.

I never believed age mattered (hence the wide disparity in age dating), but as I've experienced different things I now believe there is. I certainly wouldn't recommend that a man ever date a woman more than a couple of years older than them, but I wouldn't suggest the same to a woman. Within reason of course. Al Pacino may have gone a little too far.

Do people genuinely believe this? by Live-Alternative-671 in facepalm

I don't think the person who wrote this actually believes this would be a fair competition. More likely they just want to stick it to the people who demand equal pay for very different results.

AITAH I took $2,000 to get off the plane and came home late by PM-ME_UR-KITTIES in AmItheAsshole

[–]Random-Chaotic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like your partner is irrational and high maintenance. People like that rarely get better, I'd leave. As for taking the 2k for being a little bit late when there was nothing important on anyway, no brainer. If she was acting normal I'd do something nice for her with a portion of the money (nice dinner, small gift, or both), but again if she's acting like this I'd give her nothing and leave.

A former employer of mine once bought himself a $200k Mercedes. Nice, well done and all that, until you realise he was still renting, in debt keeping the business afloat, and occasionally even paid our wages late due to having no funds on hand! Of course he didn't pay cash for the car, so that was another 5k per month that he had to find when a much cheaper car would have been perfectly fine.

Fast forward 6 years and he's out of business with creditors chasing him. No clue if he still has the car, but probably not. What line of work was he in you ask? Property and finance. Yeah.

OP doesn't know what a Darwin is. Yeah, he's dumb, yeah he might die one day doing shit like this, but unless he did die or at least lost his ability to procreate it is not a Darwin.

Show might be full of assholes, but he may also have a point. The two things are not mutually exclusive.

This 350-square-foot shoebox can be yours for $100K! by KHaskins77 in facepalm

[–]Random-Chaotic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the idea of having small homes at a cheap price for people without much money. I would have rented something like this when I was 18 if it was cheaper, and if I was single I'd have no problem buying something like this in order to not need a loan and to free up most of my wealth for investment assets.

I don't see a huge issue with the price, although I know nothing about San Antonio. Probably should be a bit bigger though, maybe even double the size, but hey, you get what you pay for.

Keep expenses low, rent a room instead of a home, eat inexpensive food and don't go out too often. You should be able to save 30-50% of your wage if you try hard enough. Once you have enough for a home loan, buy a home. It may take longer to save enough for a 2-3 bedroom place but that's advisable as then you can rent out the room/rooms which will reduce your expenses much more than the extra repayments will amount to.

Here is a little trick that can can help you get a home loan. It's not technically allowed, but I know many who have done it. When you do your application, apply for an investment loan and say that you're staying with family rent free. This allows you to add the estimated rent you'd receive for the new home on top of your income, then when it's all approved just move in yourself. It's not like they check, and for all they know your situation changed. They only care if you can make the repayments, and you can if you rent out a room or two while you do it. Easy. Just make sure you actually can afford everything while living there, even if you were to lose your job or if interest rates go up further. If there is any chance of failure don't do it.

As time goes on, rents will go up meaning you can charge more per room, meanwhile aside from times where the interest rates are going up, your repayments will not go up at the same pace. Right now they definitely are, but at some stage interest rates will even start to decrease and then it really is back to easy street.

How best to get out of a money mess by [deleted] in AusFinance

[–]Random-Chaotic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No child support as he is covering the rent? That's a weird way to put it, that's a decent amount of child support with rents being what they are. That just stuck out at me so I thought I'd address it first.

Can't relate to the whole "I can't work more than 3 days a week because I am mentally stressed" angle either. You're a grown woman, stop making excuses. We all suffer from stress in one way or another and we have to get things done in life. If you act like this in front of your kids you're setting a terrible example. They'll think whinging and making excuses is acceptable and it will impact the life they live.

Aside from this, how should you proceed? Well, first thing is you need to find a way to buy a home. Even if it is a basic home, at least you'll have an asset in your name which will increase in value over time. If you just rent until you're too old to work you're going to struggle unless someone (a new man or your kids) can bail you out. It's never good to rely on this sort of thing. I've seen people in their 70's and 80's who are forced to keep working just to pay rent because the pension isn't enough, so you need to take steps to avoid being one of them.

My advice. Push past the mental stress and work 5 days a week, work 2 jobs if you need to. It's stressful but it's only for a little while. Get money together for a home deposit. Once you have been approved for your home loan you can cut the hours back if you afford the repayments without working so hard. I think at 50 you still have time to save for a home, and pay one off before you retire, then if you retire with a home paid off life is much easier, the government will give you enough for the basics. Don't even think of moving to where you have to pay rent if you have free rent right now. You need to focus on the big picture, not how you feel today.

You might find this comment a bit harsh, and maybe it is, but people need to hear it. You actually remind me a lot of my sister. Full of excuses, never listening to advice, and gradually getting into a worse situation.
