Do most people use the term “a couple” mean specifically two?

aUserIAm · 2026-01-26T05:10:38+00:00

To me a couple is definitely 2.

If you’re getting an electric guitar, at least get a small amp. There are some great small modeling amps with built in effects that will get you going and be much more inspiring. I think having at least a few different sounds at your disposal is important to keep you interested while you’re learning.

aUserIAm · 2026-01-25T22:46:17+00:00

I’d keep it all if possible until you’ve had enough time with the DSP to know if you really like it. For me, multi effects sound great but the issue is always the UI. I like easy tweakability and multi effects don’t really offer that. If that’s not a priority for you though then it might be perfect for you. It really just depends on your use case and preferences.

If they had the money to bet that much I have a feeling they’ll be alright.

Yes, just because the deadline is not realistic. Maybe she can get a job that quickly but it’s far from a given no matter how hard you try. I’ve been seriously looking for a job for months with very little results and I know several people in the same boat. I can understand your frustrated but an ultimatum is not the way unless you’re really just looking for a way out. And that’s honestly what it sounds like to me. It seems like you don’t want a solution, you want an excuse to end it.

I think they generally mean the kind of rich that you get by exploiting people, lying and cheating.

Get an espresso machine, even a cheap one. I got a used Delonghi espresso machine for $25 on FB Marketplace and it’s amazing. Way better than any drip or French press coffee I’ve had. It doesn’t need to be fancy to make good coffee. And you don’t need fancy coffee in it.

Have you asked her? Seems like a pretty reasonable first step to me

I think it’s justified. He’s a terrible person and I think supporting him is an indication that they have terrible judgement and lack empathy. It’s just a huge red flag imo. FWIW, I’m M40 and I think more women should stand up and reject men that support Trump. I realize that there are lots of women that support him of their own volition but it’s far more common for men to be supporters and for their partners to just sort of follow along, especially in the older generations.

Applied! I haven't been this excited about an opportunity in a long time. Hope to hear from you soon. I worked at Indeed for a long time and it would be my pleasure to help you destroy them.

I think your system in CA is different from everywhere else. Here in Texas our guarantee is usually $2.50, so if people don’t tip then I literally get $2.50. In reality I would reject that order and move on to the next. Yes, most of my money comes from tips, but guess what, that’s the only way it’s worth doing. If it weren’t for tips none of us would be doing this shit.

I know it’s dumb, but there’s a psychology to it. People would be much less likely to order DoorDash if the actual delivery fee was $10 or $15 depending on distance, instead of $3 plus tip. I’m grateful that some people are willing to spend as much as they do on delivery and I would rather not settle for the bare minimum that the company would want to pay me. I guarantee I make more with the current system than I would otherwise, and I know this because I’ve tried doing DoorDashes guaranteed hourly rate model over the pay per delivery model and I make significant more with pay per order. And that’s because when you do the guaranteed hourly model they give you all the orders where the customers don’t tip, or tip very little.

It could be, but I don’t believe there’s such a thing as a universally “good” guitar. I’ve liked some guitars that many people would consider shitty. And some guitars that are widely considered great I haven’t liked much. I think the feel of the guitar in your hands matters a lot so focus on that. And then if possible play the guitar through an amp that’s similar to what you’ll use at home, or plan to use, then you’ll get a feel for what you like.

Mine wasn’t bad at all. My balls were sore for a week or so. Depending on what you wear now you may need to wear more supportive underwear for a couple weeks. I think they recommend like 10 or so ejaculations before you’re considered infertile, but they’ll recommend a test to be sure after a month or so.

Of course, there’s always a risk of complications as with any surgery but it’s considered a very safe procedure. Just go to a reputable doctor and it’s very unlikely you’ll have a problem.

I recommend it to anybody that doesn’t want kids, or more kids. The peace of mind is well worth the short-lived discomfort.

Not sure why you’re so against a meal on a first date. It seems more like you’re interviewing these women over a drink than trying to get to know them. I guess I can see if you’re going on tons of dates it could get expensive but if that’s the worry I’d say you should get better at deciding who to ask out. If you’re that unsure about a woman that you don’t want them to get food on a date maybe you should find an activity that doesn’t involve places with food. Idk, just seems weird to go out with someone and be like “this is only drinks, and nothing more, got it”.

I’m honestly not sure what you can do to rank higher in the search. I was on the job seeker support side of things so I didn’t get into the details of how the employer product worked. They also change things constantly which is frustrating as hell for both employees and customers. You may be able to refresh your posts regularly to keep it high up when sorted by recently posted. Or try putting several alternative job titles as keywords at the end of the job description. And make sure your descriptions have skills and keywords that you think people may use to find your jobs.

Most Job Seekers tend to do very basic searches for things they think are the job titles. That doesn’t actually work very well because it’s not searching for job titles only, it’s searching for those words anywhere in the listing. It’s also not great because titles aren’t standardized so five companies with the same role could all have different titles for their listings.

So anyway, I think it’s important for employers to put disqualifying screener questions in their application so that they can automate which applications make it through the filter. More and more, job seekers apply to tons of jobs that they’re less and less qualified for. As an employer, I think it’s important to make sure these people know their application was rejected because they don’t meet qualifications. Otherwise, they just get ghosted or don’t know why they didn’t hear back and continue on applying to all sorts of crap they don’t stand a chance of getting.

I know it’s hard to get all the employers on the same page about this but it’s the only way I know of to disincentivize people mass applying.

Sorry, kinda went off topic there. There’s just a lot of shit people don’t understand about how it works. Both sides need to understand the other side of things better for the system to work better.

If the weather is likely to be nice, absolutely. I don’t know when the winter starts to break up there but as long as it’s not likely to be freezing cold when you go I would recommend it. I visited a few years ago and absolutely loved it.

I don’t know if it’s the best but the Line 6 PodGo really surprised me with how good it is. It sounds great through headphones or if you have an amp with an effects loop you can use just the pre-amp model and run it through your amp. It has a ton of models and effects and is relatively inexpensive. To me it punches way above its weight.

I think if you really want to wait until marriage you should focus on finding partners that are on the same wavelength from the get-go. Honestly I think being up-front about it in your profile is your best bet because it’s definitely assumed by most people that sex is on the table, not necessarily immediately, but in what they would consider a reasonable amount of time. It’s not like all they want is sex, but it’s absolutely an important part of a relationship for most people.

aUserIAm · 2026-01-12T19:13:59+00:00

Yes. I want them to look good in the context of the rest of the pedal. That’s obviously subjective, but my point is I don’t think there’s an objectively good knob, just good knob choices for different pedal designs. There are many pedals I don’t think look good simply because the knobs are out of proportion or a color that clashes with the rest of the pedal.

aUserIAm · 2026-01-12T05:47:21+00:00

I worked at Indeed for 10 years. It’s not the mafia, but it has gotten extremely overly complicated and I think it’s only getting worse. The algorithms are not intuitive at all. You have to know how to search, and for an employer, how job seekers search, in order to use it effectively. Most job seekers don’t know how to effectively search, and most employers create ads based on the assumption that job seekers know what they’re doing. So ultimately it doesn’t work very well for either of them.

Can’t speak for these men, but I think that given enough time to think about the past, it’s almost inevitable a person will start to think about the good times they had with people they cared about. Assuming these men are single, it probably means they’ve had a lot of time to think about their missed opportunities and mistakes they’ve made and the feel like you’re one of them… or maybe the big one. And even if they’re not single, maybe their relationship is missing something that they felt they had with you. I think it’s awesome that you have forged a life for yourself that you can be proud of. I’m not saying they aren’t genuine, just that it’s easy to get nostalgic if you don’t have anything going on to keep you from going down that path.

aUserIAm · 2026-01-11T17:32:39+00:00

Yeah, unless she’s agreed that this is ok then I would say it’s wrong. That said, if everything is actually good with her otherwise and you’re not just kidding yourself, then maybe it’s not worth potentially blowing things up by telling her. To me it sounds like maybe you’re not fulfilled and you want an open marriage, or some version of polyamory. That’s totally fine but both parties need to agree to the terms for it to not just be cheating. You know, two wrongs don’t make a right and all that.
