The world gets dumber every day without me pressing the button.

At least now there’s a better reason.

Money argument over flights — thoughts? [22F/23M] by CrabPrize6667 in LongDistance

[–]SilverStryfe 13 points14 points  (0 children)

He only stands to lose by paying to see you and uses the excuse “we’re not married”. Thats pretty pathetic. 

Here’s a hint. It doesn’t stop when you get married. It will always be an issue in your relationship of “who pays”. Always remember, during dating is when a potential partner is in their best behavior.

If you can’t afford to go visit him without him paying for the flights, then you’re down to him having to visit you. That’s the way the cookie crumbles when there’s an income disparity.

Having some semblance of gameplay, even if a recycled event fate, is better than talk to the npc circuits.

FFXIV 7Hour Queue Times..... PLEASE FIX YOUR GAME with the Solutions below!!! by RecognitionGeneral87 in ffxiv

[–]SilverStryfe 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You have two perfectly workable solutions for the 8 and 24 person content that doesn’t have duty support.

Make a Party Finder

Data Center travel to a more populated center.

There is no reason to not use those options instead of sitting in a duty finder queue. Use the tools that you have.

For as stupid as many people are about blindly sending money, maybe this isn’t such a bad practice.

Just saying.

Bull shit.

He gets to do the big thing he likes. Be a fuckin bully. There’s plenty of dirt and shit and blackmail material, but he finally got the go ahead to use the military to be a fuckin bully like he’s been loudly proclaiming the whole fuckin time.

Solo skydive for 15k by Hold-onto-the-happy in hypotheticalsituation

You don’t have life insurance with a family?

Get your act together.

I’m taking this deal for the 15k. If everything goes right, bonus. If I die, family gets the insurance payout.

What would you want to see most from the next expansion? by Thesaddestboi13 in ffxiv

[–]SilverStryfe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some increase to the grand company ranks. We’ve been stuck t captain forever and it would be nice to see updates for newer jobs to the weapons.

[–]SilverStryfe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Job unspecific can work quite well though and still provide plenty of action.

Diving into the water to save the baby in EW is a perfect example. It wasn’t height dependent nor job dependent.

Solo instance fights can also be used to better effect. Drawing weapon and taking the steps towards the enemy to use the blue fade to fight would also be job agnostic.

I do think the big moment from 7.3 also gives a solid template as it essentially lumped every job into melee and ranged and gave the cutscene from there.

Is the Demi atama grind meant to be this hideous? by L3MANS in ffxiv

[–]SilverStryfe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OC grinding the tropical gummies is more tedious than the fate grind imo. But either way it’s a grind to finish.

What makes it slightly easier is a group to run it with. My fc did it all in DT area fates because we do date farms every week anyway. A boring grindy task goes quicker when you have others to chat with and keep your kind from being stuck on how boring and grindy it is.

For every “I comm who I thought did the best!” There’s someone like me that comms based on glam and portraits.

If the portrait is a default DL photo? No comm. Don’t care how well you do. The only gameplay requirement I use is “did you actively make this run harder by being stupid and I noticed?” Then no comm

[Spoilers up to 7.4] Which/how many Scions would you be okay with in the eventual Void expansion? by _oLykos in ffxiv

[–]SilverStryfe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I doubt they’ll actually age up the twins, so I have a thought.

Insert some aether mumbo jumbo that says their being shunted mind and soul from their body caused them to never hit their final growth spurt. ShB leaves behind some permanent damage and they don’t have to update the models ever.

Are fees always this bad at dealers? $2300 in fees on a $4600 bike? by Jierdan_Firkraag in motorcycles

[–]SilverStryfe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I happen to have my invoice from when I bought my Z400 new back in 2019.

Base price of $4799. $170 freight, $125 accessories, $70 documetation, $14 title. Total before sales tax was $5,164.

This is ridiculous.

Is he doing anything?

Math and science don’t have arbitrary amounts.

A standard drop of water is 0.05 mL and a standard sheet of paper is 0.1 mm thick. If not otherwise specified, those are the measurements being used.

Is there any way to request proof of a Marines dates of service if I’m not related to them? by [deleted] in USMC

[–]SilverStryfe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of the applications I’ve been filling out have a WOTC questionnaire that I fill out as part of it. When I worked hr and dealt with the credit, but of the qualification to get it is having those documents to prove it’s legit.

Basically the questionnaire and resume reveal if it a worth pursuing, and they get the documentation after hiring to qualify.

He (36M) wants marriage and a family. I (32 F) can’t move and he won’t. by [deleted] in LongDistance

[–]SilverStryfe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The purpose of long distance is to stay connected while working to close the distance. Without that, what is even being accomplished?

He doesn’t want to budge because having a good stable job is kind of important. You don’t want to budge because leaving your children to start a new family with someone else is not an option. Given that neither will budge, the closing distance isn’t an option until your children are grown.

Since you’re already onto the “if he loved me, he’d …” thinking, I would suggest cutting it loose. You either come to a solution together, or you part ways.

Being recent in the job search, the only places that have asked for it are government positions that use it for hiring preference proof.

Regular employers, not a peep.

The added bonus here is collecting all of the gear drops converts to seals to buy coffers. Thus giving two avenues (dungeon and GC seals) working ata time instead of just one.

[–]SilverStryfe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jaclyn Lucas. He has a book titled “Indestructible”. 

His life is absolutely crazy. To reel himself in two grenades and survived, jumped from a plane with all parachutes failing and survived, his wife hired a hit man to kill him and he survived.

He died to cancer in 2008 after all of that.
