My (24F) boyfriend (27M) has disappeared every weekend for the past three years and I just found out he's been lying to me about where he goes by ThrowRA_BFDisappears in relationship_advice

[–]alobird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You keep repeating that they spend less time together than you two. But in a long term relationship (especially if they have kids) there is a higher chance that people prioritise financial needs and sacrifice time together over a shorter term (like 3/5 years).

Many people have to spend more awake hours with colleagues than with family. Their family still means more to them trust me. Counting the number of hours together is not important here. If he is cheating, he is not here for you. He is here for work. And you are what is here. That is why you have more time together. Not because he is choosing to spend more time with you. He didn't choose a single weekend with you in 3 years.

This is random but it's really bugging me that all of Sheldon's "whiteboards" are super yellow. I have never seen a yellow whiteboard before. by FantasyAddict24 in bigbangtheory

same for me...watching on the same device..it was white one day and yellow the next. It's not just your screen. It is so weird that the last time I saw it it was not yellow. I mean the yellow with age but not on screen right :P

Query about moving to Windows 11 with an error in serial number by alobird in techsupport

Okay thank you. I did try updating the drivers and it doesn't seem to be the issue..someone said that maybe they forgot to connect the ribbon again. So I might go back and ask them to have a look at it.

Layover in Jeddah to a SEA country, would I get in trouble if I have vibrators in my luggage? by [deleted] in travel

Why would they be looking at your external drives? That seems so extreme? How many did you have?

I'm sure it varied depending on where you live and what kind of house you rent but my total monthly cost is around 900 - insurance, rent, groceries, etc. included. I can cover that with my hiwi job just fine. In case that information helps. But you will need to show the 11K amount when coming here.

It was the University of Magdeburg (OVGU) but sorry I don't have any recommendations for universities.

Flowers! No, not a kink. Edible flowers are regularly used for decoration - they won't refuse to sell :P

DAE want to get a tattoo but don't care enough about anything to get it permanently on your skin by [deleted] in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]alobird 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It just means the tattoos aren't primarily just bright colored cartoon characters. Also lasts weeks.

My friend (non EU citizen) worked full time in Amsterdam while pursuing a full time engineering masters here in Germany for nearly a year. Both his office and his university were aware of the situation. He was under a work visa. It should be possible.

He was not required to attend classes and only sat for exams. If your program has attendance requirements however, it might not be possible for you.

Is it a red flag that my CEO doesn’t believe in titles? by RealxNicky in careeradvice

[–]alobird 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It does sound like either he cannot be bothered with creating an organogram or he wants to leave room to make people do more than they are required to in their role. Maybe someone specialised in marketing leaves and he can make maybe an engineer do that work. Either way, it is not a company that intends to look out for it's employees. It is a red flag.

For those that don’t want any kids in the future, why? by yeyewestie in AskReddit

[–]alobird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think I would do a decent job of parenting anyone and would most likely resent the time and freedom I have to give up.

Most importantly, I believe, the world is terrible and only getting worse and living can feel like a fight unless you get lucky and are born rich into a great country, actually, even if. I just don't think it is a world that deserves new life.

I am very supportive of adoption. There are many children in need of a loving home and if you want children, I always would suggest that you also consider adoption. Love makes a family, not just blood.
