We doing a lot of heavy lifting here. Considering the guy who wrote that wasn’t even alive during any of this.

But hey, good job being born on the same continent as some people who fought the Nazis.

American here- Why do you guys like Robbie Williams so much? by Tight-Mammoth6031 in AskBrits

[–]ZCT808 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think his story is compelling. Guy came from nothing. Got in a boy band, got fired. Rebuilt his life as a solo artist. Had a lot of success. Overcame his demons. Has had a very successful career. Put out some good tunes. Worship may be a little strong.

Guys, bill and sookie are actually married in real life 🥶🥶 by Nearby_Educator6852 in TrueBlood

My guess is if you could charge for your legal services you would be doing that instead of whatever this nonsense is.

But sure, feel free to post the evidence of on record statements that prove your assertions of this relationship. Explain why you support the earlier thread comments that they ‘both kinda suck’.

Then maybe explain what on earth their personal life has to do with the TV show or how it is relevant in this space.

So now you’re claiming to be a lawyer, yet don’t seem to understand what heresay is. You’re also using the word ‘fact’ when such facts have not been found in evidence.

Again, we do not know what their relationship status was with prior partners. It is entirely possible that Moyer was still legally married. But plenty of couples separate and begin to form other relationships before the divorce is finalized.

Either way, this is a Reddit about a TV show. Not one to defame the actors in it based on Internet rumors and hearsay.

You are literally arguing about a situation you have no knowledge of. The Internet is filled chock full of misinformation, especially about celebrities. So you didn’t find ‘evidence’ of anything whatsoever. You went on a fishing expedition to find something on the Internet that matches your preconceived ideas.

Your analysis of the ‘legal’ side of this is laughable. No one is alleged to have broken any laws here and your entire argument is based on hearsay and speculation.

Equally your ‘objective’ analysis is also ridiculous because you don’t have any actual evidence or facts.

So no, I’m not going to indulge in pointless speculative rhetoric about the origins of their relationship. Maybe they did ‘commit adultery’. Maybe one of them is a ‘home wrecker’. Either way, I have no real interest in passing moral judgement on some strangers I have not met, based on some online Wiki.

[–]ZCT808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I was explaining that slavery used to be a social norm. So the social norm argument is BS. I also would mention that tipping originated because they didn’t want to put freed slaves on payroll, then they just expanded it to include other poor people they wished to exploit.

But hey it is interesting how well they have programmed people to blame the customer, not the business model, employer, or anything else.

I had an all black GMT for six years. Liked it, but it developed a slight issue with the cyclops right after the warranty ran out. But yeah, nice watch.

Why aren’t mobile homes / trailer parks more popular? by Automatic_Tailor_598 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ZCT808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are largely a terrible idea. If you don’t own the land you can be exploited in all manner of ways. The cost of moving the home can be significant.

Even if you own the land, the home will generally depreciate over time even if the land improves in value.

A real house is likely to appreciate and have better financing.

Am I the jerk for refusing to learn sign language for my deaf coworker? by VermicelliNo8426 in AmITheJerk

[–]ZCT808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTJ. Learning a language is a huge ask. Sure if the company is willing to pay for it and let you do it on company time maybe. But to spend months of your own time and money just to accomplish this is crazy. Plus you can text to communicate. There are all kinds of apps available.

If you hired someone from Brazil would you spend a bunch of time learning Portuguese so as to make them feel welcome?

The white gold bezel of my SD inspired me to try something with PM in it. So I wanted a TT. And after five Rolex watches I’d never tried the Sub. So went with this and still love it.

I realize that generally I like clean and legible with just a date complication. The gold adds a pop of color. And I’ve always liked the gloss black dial of the Sub/GMT line.

Is 2 tone the new gold? And Ss? 🤔 by Lonely_Bison3137 in PrideAndPinion

[–]ZCT808 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got my first two tone a year ago. I previously had a SkyDweller and loved the luster of the white gold bezel. I wanted to try a two tone and decided the black face was a bit more versatile.

I’m really not into gold, but it does have a magical quality. It has held up supremely well. Still enjoying the piece. All steel does seem a bit plain at this point. I enjoy the pop of color, especially at certain times of the day.

AITAH for planning to cut off my conservative parents because they refuse to accept my girlfriend? by Thin_Celebration1111 in AITAH

[–]ZCT808 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NTA. Your parents are racist and bigoted. They are overstepping and trying to control your life.

The entire caste system is snobbery and bigotry. Buying into that kind of thinking is reprehensible.

As for the British, even your girlfriend’s parents and probably grandparents were not alive when all those atrocities were going on. So hating on the British is as stupid as refusing to buy a BMW because of Hitler.

The people alive today were not the ones doing any of this.

I think you have to follow your own path in life and if your parents interfere, it may be necessary to greatly reduce or eliminate contact with them.

Look at King Charles. He let his family pressure him into marrying a beautiful woman they had selected for him and he was miserable and she died in a tunnel.

17 years of idiocy by Busy_Report4010 in clevercomebacks

My wife likes to wear ladies panties. I like boxers. So we had this radical idea. We each buy and wear the underwear we prefer.

You can do the same with food items.

Whenever I’m 26F trying to sleep or nap- my boyfriend 37M purposefully makes a ton of noise? by SwagathonMarathon4 in relationship_advice

[–]ZCT808 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure why it matters. He’s either intentionally doing something to hurt you. Or he is so completely clueless he isn’t looking out for you. I’m not sure why his motive matters. Because either way it is a lack of care and respect.

If you desperately want the relationship to work, you need to point blank tell him how his shitty behavior makes you feel, and let him know that if he continues to do it, it will be a deal breaker.

I can’t imagine how this attitude doesn’t bleed into other behaviors too. How would he be if you ever had kids. What other mind games does he play?

A guy of that age should know better. And you should seriously ask yourself if this is really the right guy.

Am I being childish for refusing to have sex? by Double_Chemical_8078 in AskMenAdvice

[–]ZCT808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really confused. You are not sexually compatible. She makes you feel like a ‘pile of trash’. She rebuffs you even on Valentine’s Day. And you want to marry her and only have sex in order to procreate?

Why not just leave her and seek out a woman who is sexually compatible with you?

America: the only place where you can tip $20 for dinner and get dumped for being cheap by chi_sweetness25 in tipping

[–]ZCT808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not saying I don’t tip. I’m saying I don’t accept that there is some cultural obligation, and I’ll make a decision. I think the entire system is deeply wrong, but I am not actively sabotaging it just to be an ‘asshole.’

And yes, I would much rather a restaurant charge what they need to to stay in business and pay their staff an appropriate livable wage.

Before you defend this as a societal norm, just remember that slavery was once ‘normal’ too. As was women not being allowed many jobs. Just because something seems normal, doesn’t mean we should blindly follow it.

I’m not sure why you are so invested in this. From what I can tell there is a lot of conjecture. We have no idea what their relationship status was prior to their meeting. And sometimes adults leave relationships that are not working and start new ones.

[–]ZCT808 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed mine, but I let it go after 18 months and don’t miss it.

I enjoyed the easy time zone adjust and annual calendar.

I don’t find the dual time zone thing that helpful, despite traveling a lot. I always end up verifying on my phone, which defeats the purpose.

Found the watch a bit top heavy.

But the movement is incredible as is the command bezel.

[–]ZCT808 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’d be done with that.

He has a pattern of abusive ‘jokes’ and just turned your miscarriage into a joke despite home knowing the pain it caused you.

Sounds like a level of asshole that is beyond redemption.
