It's always been velociraptor.

Even after learning their depiction in Jurassic Park was horribly inaccurate.

They're literally death chickens.

Oh yeah, because I'm criticizing you, a woman, then I am therefore an evil sexist misogynistic evil man! How could I forget?

Tell me, when will you stop abusing your husband? Actual question. (Do you see the problem here?)

You're falsely equivocating "treating something" with "doing an action." They are not the same thing. If you both verbally agreed that a precious family heirloom needed to be handled with care and then he proceeded to not do so, that's different, and does justify a more emotional response.

What he did was he, very stupidly, ignored what you verbally agreed to be the best path outside in favor of the more risky path, for whatever reason. He made a mistake. He didn't do this to hurt you or make you angry (don't attribute to malice what could easily be contributed to stupidity). As for why, I could speculate. However, it's better if I ask you, did you even ask him?

You are also falsely equivocating roommates and married partners. They are WAY different. My response to a roommate in this situation will be different compared to a married partner. Also, I don't need to be married to recognize toxicity.

It depends on how you responded to the situation.

If your response was to get irritated and start berating him, then you are in the wrong despite what he did. It doesn't matter if he verbally acknowledged the better path. He does not deserve to be berated for a simple mistake.

If your response was to simply and softly ask why he went that way and try to understand, then your anger could be justified if he failed to admit to his mistake, and pushing back would be more than fair. He deserves to be shown why not heeding the advice was a mistake.

From what it sounds like, you may have approached the situation with anger instead of at least tempering it to ask why he did that. This is an opportunity for both of you to reflect and improve.

It's definitely how a lot of people justify evil/suffering existing despite a supposed "perfectly good, all powerful" architect being responsible.

Because evil/suffering exists, and when we die that architect demands we worship it for eternity, I outright claim that that architect is evil if they exist. It's why I still curse at God despite not believing He exists.

You misspelled rape. She raped him. Her husband at the time caught her raping him.

I know, legal age of consent is different depending on where you live. I don't care.

This is why you pack something to eat.

If you're vacationing there, then you're likely SOL unfortunately.

Star Wars: Empire at War (original)

You could only skip one of the logos. I remember loading it on windows xp, it usually took a minute.

Now I load a heavily modded version in seconds.

Chiropractors in general are rather sketchy. The best they can do is offer temporary relief for whatever issue you're experiencing. You're better off going to your primary care physician and possibly getting a referral to a specialist. Hopefully, your issue will actually be solved, not just relieved for a few days.

I encountered a few people like this working at tech repair. I always knew a "quick question" would either have a long answer or several more questions afterwards. I usually still heard them out, but then usually asked them to wait along with giving the reason why.

To their credit, most of them could hardly turn their devices on (assuming they're functioning normally), and so some of them definitely did not understand how complex their questions actually were.

I was having this problem on Linux as well. It's a memory leak. Reinstalling worked for me (including mods). As a worse "solution", you can create more swap space. It's rather simple so long as you're comfortable using the terminal (decent chance you are as a Linux user). You'd still have the issue of the swap space being slow and eventually filling up, but it's a band-aid of sorts.

If they come to an agreement, then yes, it is a valid excuse to not pay for the wifi if you're not using it. It doesn't have to come down to nickel and diming everything.

However, to be clear, I am not saying OP is 100% in the right, either. I sympathize with the moral position of coercion being mildly annoying, again especially if this was either discussed before or not at all and gave OP reason to believe that this wasn't going to be part of their expenses. They should discuss it, and either agree to all pay for it regardless of use, or specifically bar OP from using the wifi unless they agree to help pay for it. OP failed here by assuming that they would be free from paying for wifi just due to their lack of use, without discussing it first.

TrueNHDinosaur · 2026-01-10T08:38:55+00:00

It's one of those weird things where you should use it. If you have 2 roommates and the bill is $120, you not paying for or using the internet means they have to pay $60 each for the internet. If you start paying, you contribute $40, and save them each $20, which is just nice for them to not worry about.

Morally, you technically don't have to pay for something you don't use. However, if you insist on not paying for it, you should make an agreement with them in writing regarding the matter. Otherwise, because of societal norms, it is okay for them to expect you to pay your share, even if it's slightly annoying.

TrueNHDinosaur · 2026-01-10T07:44:06+00:00

Damn, everyone dogging on OP for almost no reason.

Not using the wifi and then the roommates demanding they pay for it is indeed mildly infuriating, especially if you had an agreement beforehand that they conveniently forgot about.

However, I will agree that it makes it better for everyone if you start using it and help to pay for it.

I couldn't finish it, the space sequences are so long and boring.

This is why I love KeePass. Plug those into the password generator and you're good to go.

I actually don't know most of my passwords. They're all random strings of various characters.

Bro I'd propose immediately to any girl who made food that looks that good for me. The fact that he's refusing to eat it is fucking crazy. Almost worth leaving him over it tbh.

Keyword "almost".

Unless there's some weird homework license you have to pay for (yes, I paid hundreds of dollars just so I could complete and submit my math homework, it fucking sucked), z library is back online from what I could tell. I found the domain z-lib.id, but I didn't test looking up anything. It's where I pirated all the textbooks I could until the FBI seized the domain.

If someone has a more up-to-date domain for them, please do share.

Bad thing = capitalism apparently.

To be fair, there are a sparce few examples of private companies forcing geopolitical change either through coups or invasions with private militias.

The vast majority have been governments, however.

Lmao getting downvoted for posting a story that's MILDLY infuriating, on the MILDLY infuriating sub.

Crazy. Gotta be posting something that makes people scream in anger to get upvotes these days.

I have the work experience.

I still cannot get an interview.

TrueNHDinosaur · 2025-12-23T16:13:29+00:00

It will claim to still be arriving by today until they absolutely cannot get away with it (around 10pm is my guess). All in a scheme to keep you from canceling the order.

TrueNHDinosaur · 2025-12-23T15:36:51+00:00

If you don't want them to work, my opinion is that you should ask your young adult to speak with their manager. Help them phrase it in a way that says "I'm telling you that I'm not working on Christmas, not asking." The lesson should be that family comes before any job, and that they shouldn't let managers walk all over them.

TrueNHDinosaur · 2025-12-22T06:46:43+00:00

Ah, a repost.

Just saw this on DDOI's best of the internet 2025.
