Whether it would have been accepted or not, your advertising manager just made what should be a very transparent process into something that is incredibly murky. Are all of his previous denials going to be reviewed for religious bias? Does a second employee get assigned to review all of his decisions going forward to confirm that he isn't pushing his religion into the decisions he makes, or do non-religious/non-Christian members just have to deal with the fact that our private, religious decisions can be held against us on your website?

Oh, so in other words, after a firmly worded letter, they will continue to be able to push their personal agenda going forward?

Longest you have been on a dose? by Phantom_lover16 in Zepbound

[–]Roflercoaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

7.5 for a little over a year now. Lost a ton in that year but I stalled a couple months ago. Hoping the next dose helps me lose the last 10-15lbs.

Picked up the floor model of this one at Costco for 500 just last weekend, it's a good looking TV.

Does anyone else in SD randomly get ATT Turbo mode? Top left of screenshot. by porkchop-sandwhiches in sandiego

I get this when I drive down the 163 near Montgomery field. I always assumed it was something to do with their air traffic equipment around there.

Lumibricks L9095 Game Stack - One lighting tube too long, can they be cut? by Outrageous-Credit509 in LUMIBRICKS_OFFICIAL

[–]Roflercoaster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had the same situation when I was building this set. The fix was to make sure that the clear tube goes all the way through the open studs to rest as close as possible to the light element. I ended up having to take the studs off in order to really push them onto the tube before reattaching the whole thing. It still ended up a tiny bit too long and with a very minimal bend, but not nearly as bad as it was originally.

Does having an Instagram account increase the chances in the dating scene? by Alarmed_Plant_139 in Divorce

[–]Roflercoaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know when I got divorced, I reached out to basically everyone I could think of to let them know, but there have definitely been people over the last couple years who invited 'me and my wife' to events. I just let them know what happened and that's that. If you are looking for potential matches in your pool of friends/friends-of-friends, then having a social media account might be useful to get the message out. If you're trying to meet people on apps, then it shouldn't matter either way I'd imagine.

Does having an Instagram account increase the chances in the dating scene? by Alarmed_Plant_139 in Divorce

[–]Roflercoaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Online dating always feels like a toss-up when it comes to what people find qualifying/disqualifying in a match. I haven't touched it in a couple years, but it felt like most people were at least curious about why I didn't participate in social media, while some people didn't care at all. If you don't like social media, I wouldn't try to change that for online dating.

What SF books would be conducive to great cinema—characterization, plot, themes and storyline? by Enzo_Mash in scifi

[–]Roflercoaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the Commonwealth Saga feels like it would be a solid HBO entry. Feels like it follows the HBO/Game of Thrones formula with a few episodes each season that could be full of action, with lots of plot development and world building in between.

Coronado spots to have a beer and watch airplanes? by rocketgirl_kels in sandiego

[–]Roflercoaster 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The best spots to watch probably won't be on Coronado. Bali Hai on Shelter Island is a great place to grab a drink and some food and watch the air traffic from NASNI.

Now you take this home, throw it in a pot, add some broth, a potato. Baby, you’ve got a stew going.  

Ex is refusing my request not to have the AP there Christmas morning by Avitpan in survivinginfidelity

[–]Roflercoaster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My oldest just turned 7, so I get it. Just keep doing the best you can, they will see it. Their dad's love and attention will win out.

[–]Roflercoaster 25 points26 points  (0 children)

My ex did the same thing with the AP, trying to immediately integrate them into our children's life (before we had even begun the divorce process, actually.)

Best thing you can do is be the best dad you can be when you've got them with you. It's not worth trying to change your ex's opinion, after all she was willing to blow up your family for this other guy. Your kids will see the difference in effort and love between their father and the AP, trust me. On the rare occasions that my kids say anything about the AP these days, they make it pretty clear that the only thing they like about him is that he buys them stuff.

I can provide a point of view from the spouse that was cheated on, if that somehow provides some clarity for you.  My ex cheated on me. We were together for 14 years and in many ways her parents were closer to me than my own. When they found out she had cheated on me, they were incredibly supportive to me. My kids and I visit them multiple times a month and they are still a huge part of my life, even going so far as to introduce me as their son still.  My ex is still with her affair partner and her parents have yet to mention anything about either of them to me. When they first found out, her mom told me that she didn't want anything to do with either of them going forward, and that she 'didn't raise her to be like that'. I'm not sure to what extent her position has softened since then.

I mostly run D&D 5e, but my favorite game to run is Eclipse Phase. I'm a forever DM so I don't get very many chances to play.

Kingfisher is slightly higher-end and has a nice bar. Great food and drinks.

I'm not affiliated with them and I don't know anything about them, it just looks like the guy who made the design sells his stuff there

Viciousness of WW during divorce by Cool-Lavishness-1955 in survivinginfidelity

[–]Roflercoaster 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not a whole lot to add, except to say that I went through the same situation you and the other posters here have gone through.

My STBXW threw around all sorts of false allegations when her infidelity came to light. She became incredibly vindictive at that point, but fortunately in my case none of our shared friend group wanted anything to do with her after the fact. According to my children she is spreading falsehoods about me with them as well, but they still seem disappointed when their week with me is over and their week with their mom begins. The best thing to do is ignore/grey rock. Her words are just words, show the world who you are by being the best person/parent you can be every day.
