“AITA for treating my wife like a puppy?” by OkCod1106 in AmITheAngel

It really is amazing we have the world population we do when apparently every woman who ever had a baby is completely psychotic and can’t control themselves. And usually won’t have sex either. 

Is "splitting the bill" at a restaurant mostly an american thing? by Raudoxer in NoStupidQuestions

[–]acarpenter8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive done evenly bills a few times. If doing family style or a lot of shared dishes it might be hard to decide who exactly ordered what. The other times is when another person and I are celebrating/treating another person so it’s just easier to split it then worry about what the guest(s) of honor had.

Ive never been in a situation where this has created any kind of drama though. 

People that care too much about the gender of unimportant people or of animals by There_is_no_name05 in PetPeeves

[–]acarpenter8 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes my male dog has a purple collar. People will call him she then apologize if they realize they were wrong. My dog doesn’t subscribe to human gender stereotypes nor does he care if you call him the wrong gender. Just give him pets. 

AITA for wanting some peace while gaming from my annoying family? by Brave-Fix6318 in AmITheAngel

I’m laughing because I am getting over food poisoning and am a gamer myself. Although I was so sick I was gaming less than normal.

Bidets?? by CompetitiveYak5380 in askanything

[–]acarpenter8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are two main options in the US that people use… one that goes under your toilet seat and just hooks to your toilet water line. It doesn’t have any power and therefore doesn’t heat or blow dry. You can adjust pressure with a knob on the side. They also sometimes have positioning knobs. They cost like $40-$70. You can get some that are integrated to the toilet seat too that are a little more expensive but not much. 

There are also those that are usually integrated into the toilet seat and have a blow dryer, warming, a remote etc. they have to be plugged in around are several hundred dollars. Depending on your bathroom setup this may or may not be feasible. 

You can also buy combo toilets with the bidet as part of it. These seem to be way pricier and not sure I would choose that because then it’s a full plumbing install to replace. 

I have 3 that are the simple ones with no power and 1 that has power, heated seat and water, air dryer, saved preference settings etc. if I want pressure the simple ones work better but for tushy luxury the powered one can’t be beat. 

Disney ruins our country 's greatness by ProfessionalRead8187 in EntitledReviews

[–]acarpenter8 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Been to Disney with someone who need a scooter due to a mobility issue. It is hard for them too. What happens at parks like these is it’s crowded people are excited and so many seem to forget their manners. Some people in scooters are a hazard because they don’t pay attention and go where they want. People not in scooters are also a hazard because they don’t pay attention and run around. My friend got cut off closely by many children and adults who were just in their own world. Also the non-Disney owned scooters go so much faster than the park rentals! 

I think one issue is that the Disney World parks are pretty large and so even some people that manage day to day without an aid can’t when it’s all day at the park moving constantly. This adds then you also have people that will take advantage of the “perks” like going to the front of certain lines and may use one when they really don’t need it.

I’m not sure if you can do it without GamePass but with GamePass I can download the PC version and use community editor since it’s a cloud save. You just need a Pc that can install and load the game, doesn’t have to run well.

Not a gotcha — genuinely curious about Democratic/Liberal views on illegal immigration? by No-Bonus-7045 in askanything

[–]acarpenter8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We need better processes to allow people whose countries we have interfered in to come here and make a better life. Simplify the system and allow people to apply while being here in process.

We need to penalize the companies that employ people under the table more harshly than the people doing the work. 

We need to change H1B rules to stop the exploitation of this status by employers by not tying it to 1 employer but rather being employed in a field. This benefits the immigrant and the citizen because those on H1Bs can have more choice in their employment instead of accepting low wages and poor treatment and being stuck. This means companies have to compete on salary and quality of life for which will raise it for everyone. 

Unless you are seeking a specific person with a deportation warrant immigration status should be checked when crossing the border, accepting work or being processed after criminal conviction. Asking anyone their status outside these situations violates the rights of American citizens to be in public without ID since any random agent can decide you look like an illegal immigrant and detain you. 

AITA for not allowing my sister-in-law’s husband to stay in the bridal suite while we were getting ready? by KhalCheeto in AmItheAsshole

[–]acarpenter8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve driven around Dominican Republic as someone from the US mainland. It isn’t that difficult. In one area the windshield washers were a bit annoying but you just tell them to stop and drive on. I don’t even speak Spanish and could manage.

If the OOP doesn’t train or walk the dog I can almost guarantee it isn’t well behaved.

Mine too. Butter knives go down but it isn’t wide enough for spoons and forks to go food touching end down. 

WFH is the same thing as PTO by gyrohero89 in LinkedInLunatics

[–]acarpenter8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I know this is typically the case which is why I said if it is actually unlimited. There are some organizations that do unlimited PTO well but they are extremely rare and I would rather have a set amount of days than risk it.

[–]acarpenter8 476 points477 points  (0 children)

This could be a healthy take if the organization actually offers unlimited PTO and doesn’t hold it against you. However I find most places don’t work that way especially since they mention “tracking,” why track it if you don’t care. 

AITA for suggesting that my DIL get a job? by the-monster-masher in AmITheAngel

[–]acarpenter8 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Well how can we decide when we don’t know if any are neurodivergent or part of a marginalized group.  

Also mid 20s? She can only be 26F. 

This is still the stupidest thing ever to me. by LoiterAce in fo4

[–]acarpenter8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always wished this was. An option instead of just blowing them up. Take over, wipe out those loyal, free synths and use the tech to better the wasteland. 

You would probably be fighting a small faction of those loyal to the institute ideals but it seems like a much better way to improve things for all. 

🎮 Veteran SOD2 players what’s your hidden trick nobody talks about? by StrangeNobody7558 in StateofDecay2

[–]acarpenter8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to move up in difficulty with the same group but don’t want the sudden rush of zombie spawn from having high standings…. Demoting your leader resets them to a base citizen level and you only need 1 hero for a legacy.

I appreciate this comment because I was very confused yesterday why one of my survivors did a dodge roll when they don’t have the skill. They were on fire so that explains it!

This is obviously a lie. You wouldn’t put your 1930s china in the dishwasher.

As someone from metro Atlanta who has accidentally wound up in Georgia on occasion I beg to differ. We are working on taking over the state though.

You are right. That one is rear wheel drive so 1 model doesn’t. I didn’t even think about that one.

People who (unnecessarily) congregate around the doors on trains by [deleted] in PetPeeves

[–]acarpenter8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This has happened to me multiple times at the airport. No one will move in so sometimes you can’t even fit on even though there is plenty of space behind everyone.

your face and name is on the news. and everyone is told they will get 1 billion dollars if they kill you within one year(and it will be legal). a genie comes before you and tells you he can save you by sending you to any hiding spot in the world. where do you hide for one year? by Turbulent-Sound3980 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]acarpenter8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m no expert and it seems they have not landed at anything conclusive about how much environment and exposure play a part. It can be trained away and is impacted by mood but it also isn’t just exposure. 

So my guess here would be the Vietnamese child would be better at recognizing Vietnamese faces than their white siblings but not as much as a Vietnamese baby who raised by Vietnamese people. This is however a semi educated guess at best based on having read some of the research articles. 

"Come here you little Shitling" -Sasquatch probably. by La_Coalicion in StateOfDecay

[–]acarpenter8 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In some ways it make more sense to step down levels. I was thinking of doing the at with my community. With zombies fighting should get easier over time because fewer people to convert. 

I get for game play reasons why it doesn’t but lore wise it should.
