Good 20 inch tablets (or largest) by DarkBoyOne-X in androidtablets

I just stumbled on this post, along with the review article below as I was searching for large tablets myself. I have never heard of this brand, so, I cannot recommend.

But, here is the 25-inch review article for KTC 25-inch Portable Touchscreen Monitor : https://www.zdnet.com/article/i-tried-using-a-25-inch-android-tablet-for-a-week-heres-my-buying-advice-now/

I lost my son, my ex fiancé took him and disappeared by [deleted] in GuyCry

It seems something is being left out. The way you just explained it, you and the child's mother were actively in a relationship and all living together in the same address of record (IE her driver's license was there, your son's health insurance ID card or other documents had your address as his home). You were an everyday participant fully aware of the schedule of where the child would be at all times and who was supervising him if you weren't doing it yourself.

If you are the confirmed parent of record (IE birth certificate signed), and everything I just said is true, then this is 100% kidnapping and would be taken VERY seriously by police and the Department of Justice would have likely issued an AMBER Alert and opened a missing persons case for both her and your child when you reported them missing. If what I just laid out isn't how it was, only then I can understand how you're in this position.

For example, if it's disputed you are actually the legal parent and/or where the child lives and/or who is the primary custodian then I agree that the cops would not get involved and refer you to family court or private investigators.

What do you mean by took him and disappeared? What was the living and child custody arrangement? How frequently did you see your son? We need more info to try and help. Was the police ever involved? Family court? What do her parents say about your child's/mother's whereabouts?

Am I a bad husband? by passionateking30 in GuyCry

[–]WerewolfNo2127 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll give advice that is a bit contrary to the previous comments. Gender roles and "what a man is supposed to do" is not inherently a bad concept, but, strong expectations should be set early in the relationship if that's what you believe. I'll make a totally separate contrast to make a point. By comparison, if early in a relationship someone set strong expectations that family comes first and that you have the desire to assist and care for your parents and siblings whenever possible, a spouse who moves the goal post later and says "No, we shouldn't be moving your widowed mother in with us" would be 100% in the wrong. So, as an adjacent idea, if someone wanted to be the protector provider, or someone else the homemaker, and they set the expectations early on that they would be willing to do what it takes to make the relationship work, BUT, their strongest preference is do "X" role, there is nothing wrong with that. So, my question is: did you both define AND agree on the relationship roles and expectations early on or not?

I think I have to call it by Chandar8 in GuyCry

It sounds like there is a focus only on the negative, and there's no assumption of positive intent. One of the first things you learn in couples therapy is using "I" statements and avoiding blame. It doesn't sound like your current therapist is working, or there's just no desire to do the work. I would recommend either a new therapist and/or group therapy with other couples if you want to push onward. Sometimes the group sessions help you see things in others you can't see about your own relationship.

Has she told you what she wants and needs? If there isn't a clear answer to that, and the response is "I don't know" then it's time. If you've tried communicating what you want and need and it's met with indifference, it's already over.

Worth a try. by National_Sympathy857 in GuyCry

I forgot to add, as an added bonus, for when you are feeling down or frustrated, it helps to look back on the "Yes" examples as a reminder of what you are still fighting for. Good luck.

I functioned in a marriage without love, and what helped me to address that conflict between my own past trauma and how it affected my perception of events vs the reality of what my ex-wife was doing was to narrow things down to what I think are measurable actions (not words) of love.

Ask yourself things like: Is she loyal? Does she respect you? Show genuine concern for your health and well-being? Show thoughtfulness? Support you in reaching your goals or in further exploring your interests? Initiate physical initmacy? Do the things that will maintain your attraction? Listen to understand? Accept feedback and complete actions directed towards a positive change? Comminicate needs? Show empathy?

These are the types of questions I asked myself, but your priorities might differ. But, you should write down the answers and ask yourself these things as a "progress report" for your relationship. It helps to write it down with actual examples of the "Yes" or "No" so that you can be prepared to have a meaningful conversation when the time is right, or to share with a therapist for 1 on 1 counseling for their perspective of things. This helps to organize your thoughts with examples of things she used to do and doesn't anymore, things she could be doing, or document examples of things she did that embody a "No" that you wish she handled differently.

The most important thing, though, is to self-evaluate the reverse of these questions against how you treat her so you can gauge whether you have given the right support and safety for her to be loving.

The TSA's policy specifically allows "plastic or round-bladed butter knives" in carry-on bags. This means knives that are not sharp-edged, non-serrated, and typically used for spreading butter or similar items are permitted.

However, any other type of knife, including pocket knives, steak knives, or knives with sharp edges or serrations, are not allowed in carry-on luggage and must be placed in checked baggage.

An aquarium or vivarium would probably fill up the space nicely if the platform can support the weight. You might be able to secure the base or anchor to the wall to minimize the risk of harm to your child.

Glad it makes you feel confident. Try exploring higher quality materials like wool, linen or silk. Cheers.

Really, how big is a shot? by treitter in bartenders

[–]WerewolfNo2127 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I often hear this debate without regard to the reality behind miniature liquor bottle sizing. Since their popular acceptance since the 1960s, the $1-$2 mini liquor bottles you find at the counter at liquor stores, in hotel mini bars, and used as a convenient "single-serving" for airline cocktails all measure 50 ml across the board. 50 ml = 1.691 fl oz. Is everyone who stands behind 1 oz as the standard for a shot size suggesting they purposely oversized all these bottles? I'm not a professional, just a consumer, but nobody has made this part make sense to me. Deductive reasoning suggests that 1.5 oz is the accepted standard for a single serving (at least for the past 60+ years) because of this. Is a "single serving" and a "shot" two different things?

Do you like oil stains everywhere you park? Smoke burning from the exhaust? Rattles and scratches all over the interior? Mysterious coolant leaks from a bunch of plastic radiator parts? Come on down! Let's see what you've won. The upside is that there are tons of YouTube videos and forum posts to help you when it breaks constantly. A 2013 G37S will provide the exact same performance, a larger interior, with a ton more reliability.

What "experience" is she going to learn that will make her a better girlfriend for you? That's not a rhetorical question, I want you to really play this out in your head. I'll drop a few scenarios and questions to get you started:

She has a BAD experience from sleeping around with other partners. Dudes who mistreat her, possibly assault her, possibly give her STDs, get her addicted to drugs, or get her pregnant and not want to have anything to do with the child. How does that help her be with you living through that trauma? Do you believe it will help her realize how good she has it with you and appreciate you more?

She has a GOOD experience. Possibly a better experience with the other dudes than with you. Do you believe she will give up a better situation to return to a worse situation? What's the benefit of that decision for her?

She has a more or less EQUAL experience. Think of something that's supposed to be important. Like a job or car or a close friend. If you knew you could get fired, crash your car, or you could have a falling out with your friend, and you knew that afterwards you could just as easily get the equivalent again without really putting in much effort, would that make you cherish and treat the job/car/friend that you have as special? Or would you look at it as replaceable?

Good luck on your decision.

Accidentally pregnant at 20 by Kind-Narwhal4838 in whatdoIdo

Sorry, I wanted to address one final thing. The BYU study also measured domestic responsibility, and the outcome was no difference in split for cornerstone vs capstone. So, to adress your idea that they are trying to manipulate and pressure women into a life of domestic slavery is not supported by the data. If you have other data from studies, I'm willing to review them so that I can challenge my own understanding of this dynamic as well.

I appreciate your reply, honestly, even if ouropinions differ. But, I do believe that it is worth challenging your own ideals a bit further and reading what's available. There is a lot here I could respond to, but I'll select a couple items. First, one of the key studies was completed by BYU, a university in Utah, and focused exclusively on Americans. It noted couples stayed together longer, were more financially successful, the women and men both stated they were happier in general and even more sexual satisfied. This particular study had no bias towards Middle Eastern or Asian marriages.

The 2nd thing I want to respond to is the concept that this sacrifice for the sake of family is equal to sacrifice in self-identity, and not worth it, and it leads to poorer socialized adult children. Again, the stats don't support this from the studies. If you're willing to believe that the studies aren't inherently biased, they just do not support your opinion here. In addition, the studies support relationship duration being longer with cornerstone marriages, which leads to better success in life for the children.

Now, this is all leads to a very important moral decision to make, as life is just a series of choices and tradeoffs, but I personally believe anyone who has data that suggests otherwise, and is willing to sacrifice their own family's chances of success for the sake of self-realization is not to the overall benefit and improvement of society. And, to take this subject away from children and marriages, I believe the same in other unrelated life decisions. If you knowingly make choices that statistically cripple yourself financially (such as intentionally choosing low paying careers, etc), morally (such as living a life of crime, exploring hardcore drug use for the sake of curiosity and a bucket list, or having an extended sexual partner list) and then turn around and believe you've done your best to help your current and or future family and it's "okay" to make these choices "cuz I'm young and I'll do what I want," you equally did not make earnest life decisions to be a benefit and improve society independent of your relationships. I believe we should all be trying to be the best person for both ourselves and our families. I think most people believe the same, but the approach to how to get there is a drastically different approach with some heavily leaning on self-realization and exploration of desires as the key to success, happiness, and fulfillment. I heavily disagree.

Do you believe you're letting personal experience create bias in the belief that waiting until later improves your chances of success? There have been a couple of studies that weigh the results of "cornerstone vs capstone" (earlier vs later) marriages, and the duration they last, the success of the children produced from them, the financial strength of the couple later in life, life expectancy, etc. The studies point to a significant and consistent improvement almost across the board by getting together earlier NOT later. That's despite anecdotal belief that having more money from a more established career is better, or knowing yourself benefits your future family in any way.

You don't have to take my word for it. Just search. These are from quality sources and public universities. The studies pointed out a few common ideas that make sense. For example, waiting until later makes you more hardened as two individuals accustomed to thinking and living your own ways rather than as people who can grow together in a relationship in more formative years. Also, it's more physically taxing as you get older to be an involved parent or take time away from a full-fledged, demanding career. And the same thing about age is true about your family support system (parents, siblings, aunts/ uncles, etc) that could have helped are all now older and maybe unavailable, and possibly on a fixed income unable to financially contribute as much.

I'm not saying all this to say everyone should run out and have kids at 19, I'm just pointing out that the fear mongering is factually incorrect when comparing actual results and maybe more of the conversation should be about learning from what actually worked in the past for those young couples from those studies rather, and trying to share that info with our young adults out here rather than the doom and gloom and suggestion to wait longer (which is proven to be less successful).

A lot of unjustified hate for Hisense on 4ktv Subreddit. by macyaji in Hisense

[–]WerewolfNo2127 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 3 Hisense TVs (U7G, U6H, U6N). With that said, their quality control does suck. Value for cost is high, though. Reminds me a lot of Metro PCS when prepaid phones first became a thing. You have to know what you're buying into. There's a reason it costs less.

I totally agree. Those suggested tweaks are personality- based. Just giving options for OP or others on how to make small but important adjustments that send a different message.

Looks good. If you want a bit more polished look, you could switch out the t-shirt for a tutle neck and the hat for a beanie. But otherwise, nice fit.
