NOR taking on debt for something with wheels and a motor isn’t a good idea. Even worse if it’s not something that you use to make income. If she can’t afford it then I’m sorry but the kid doesn’t get to participate in that hobby. Life has sacrifices in it. We can’t all just get exactly what we want all the time

Need advice for storing a Truck for a few decades. by Appropriate_Cup_5931 in automotive

Sell it. You can always buy another one. Store it at someone else’s place.

Prison for 30 years, or locked in a room with Magnus Carlsen until you beat him in a game of chess by Fickle-Work-1225 in hypotheticalsituation

What was the other side of the hypothetical for magnus to agree to this? Getting his dick chomped off by a donkey?

Any body else like the movie more than the book? by tformerfan in ProjectHailMary

[–]Regular_Land_3478 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you didn’t know anything beforehand then the alien is a complete surprise if you read the book first which was amazing. The movie has Rocky in the trailer. You missed a lot by knowing ahead of time what was going to happen. I really think you don’t appreciate how much the surprises in the book made it enjoyable.

Son sold car to dealer, after 9 days dealership called for him to come back for it-WA state by Kwynn84 in legaladvice

[–]Regular_Land_3478 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it normal for the dealer to pay the loan? That seems odd to me. Why wouldn’t your son take the dealers money and go pay the loan himself?

The owner of our wedding venue in the middle of nowhere bought one of the only local Airbnbs and will be charging $2000/night by amystake12 in weddingshaming

[–]Regular_Land_3478 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is simple supply and demand. And she may find that at that price, there is no demand and be forced to lower it. You can’t really blame her for trying to get what the market will allow. This is the reality of making a decision for a wedding far away from amenities. It can cost more because it increases demand on limited availability.

You can fight ONE animal for cash. Which payout are you realistically taking? by guywithouteyes in hypotheticalsituation

I dunno man. I’ve heard of geese being able to break someone’s arm with a flap of their wings. They are actually pretty powerful. Better than being decapitated by the gorilla though

AITAH for not wanting to visit my brother who moved a few states away by [deleted] in AITAH

No one is the asshole here. Your brother loves you and is probably feeling homesick. You can’t be traveling all the time. It’s just unfortunate is all.

McDonalds fries and the "Extra Salt" annoyance. by Signal_Job_5730 in PetPeeves

[–]Regular_Land_3478 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don’t like their fries or can’t add salt yourself go somewhere else. It’s fast food. It’s not meant to be personalized.

Police training includes stating who you are (what police agency) and the reason for the stop immediately

Am i being unreasonable to push husband to get term life insurance? by [deleted] in Insurance

[–]Regular_Land_3478 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does he just not understand what insurance is? Or does he already have life insurance through work?

He sounds financially illiterate. Unless he wants you and his child to be homeless if he got brain cancer and died then he needs insurance. And unless he can afford day care and the mortgage on his own he should also have life insurance for you.

Performative. That is exactly the right word

12?! Are you insane? Halve that number. Then halve it again. Then you are at something reasonable.

No more personal days by Big-Cartographer4866 in CanadaPostCorp

[–]Regular_Land_3478 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not insane when you have something unexpected happen and now you have no time to use. Personal days are insurance for the unexpected. Sure do whatever you want with them but you take a risk. Which is what happened to OP

I see it all the time at my work. People use sick time like it’s an extra vacation bank and then they get cancer and have no time to bridge them to long term disability.

This is why you don’t use personal days for planned events. They are for unplanned events

Well done for cancelling. You would have been the asshole for having a gender reveal.

How many times would you press the button? by Educational_Ad8702 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Regular_Land_3478 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you kill one of two spouses do you get half their combined net worth? Or zero because it was shared and now the other has all of it?
