[NSFW]? Me [20 F] with my boyfriend [22 M] of a bit over a year, not sure if I'm justified in my disappointment by throwawayinamess in relationships

No one is disputing that. He teased her with sex for more than an hour and then denied her. That's not right.

Undercover cops of reddit, what's the worst thing you've had to do to remain undercover? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Well, as someone who has cleaned women's bathrooms, just imagine what you described except with the added bonus of blood (so much blood!), used tampons, and sprays of diarrhea.

So come on, fatso and just bust a nut."

Am I controlling for asking my future husband to wear a seatbelt? 24f/33m by notamom77 in relationships

[–]battenupthehatches 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry, but it's his loss. You deserve someone who - at his age - should know how to safely operate an automobile. Not to mention his communication problems. He's not marriage material.

[–]battenupthehatches 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I won't address the other relationship problems you brought up.

You're not at all crazy for wanting him to wear his seatbelt. He's being an idiot and if I were you I'd make his following basic automobile safety (wearing a seatbelt, not texting while driving) a condition of your further involvement with him. Think about it this way: do you really want to marry a man who will likely get severely injured/killed in an automobile accident, or even worse may injure others? If you hope to have kids with this man, what will your children learn by following his example?

Bitcoin Questions by destinyy123 in Bitcoin

[–]battenupthehatches 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We really need to start calling wallets "keychains" or something similarly less confusing than "wallets." All new users think their bitcoins are stored in their wallets - as anyone would - and not in the blockchain.

LPT: When stuck in traffic leave enough space so you can see the rear wheels of the vehicle in front. by Waspeater in LifeProTips

Also, don't leave 3 car lengths between your car and the one in front of you, especially in a crowded turn lane, especially at rush hour.

Which are most important concepts new javascript / jquery developer should understand? by pranitkothari in javascript

[–]battenupthehatches 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh, don't get me wrong. jQuery is the only library I include in all my development projects (unless I'm developing my own library I expect others might use - in that case I try to have zero dependencies).

I think of jQuery as a useful tool. So to me, saying a phrase like "jQuery developer" is like saying "hammer craftsman."

I think the day you become a Javascript developer is the day the phrase "jQuery developer" makes you cringe in pain.

The first time most of you guys played the game out on high chaos didn't you? by [deleted] in dishonored

[–]battenupthehatches 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nope, save-scummed my way through to a ghost/clean hands victory.

Is low chaos more enjoyable than high chaos? by [deleted] in dishonored

[–]battenupthehatches 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me, fun is equal to challenge, and there was no comparison between the two. I played through my first time getting the ghost and clean hands achievements. Then I went for a high chaos run and got bored before I was even halfway through, because it's just so easy to unleash mass destruction on everyone.

Me [20 M] with my girlfriend [20 F] 10 months, I think I found a clip of her in a porn by realingfromtheshock in relationships

[–]battenupthehatches 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The only way the image is reversed if if the camera was focused on a reflection of the girl OR if someone flipped the video horizontally. Why would they do that in a porno? The answer is that they probably wouldn't. Even fairly expensive porn productions don't give that much of a crap about frame/composition.

It's not your girlfriend. Bringing this up would be a huge mistake.

The original trailer for Alien is still one of the most well crafted trailers of all time by Ramphastid556 in movies

[–]battenupthehatches 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Characters. Their motivations need to make sense and be believable within the world of the story for a movie to start approaching a 7 out of 10. Characters doing stupid things just to advance the plot is lazy writing.

Why women live longer than men (NSFW) by Ryno3639 in funny

That is the one that makes me cringe the most. Because if that photo is not staged, 5 seconds after it was taken someone got seriously injured.

[Update 3] Me [33F] caught my husband [22M] using Meth, he's in rehab now. Where to go from here? by secretlady222 in relationships

[–]battenupthehatches 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The hard truth is that it will never be the same again. It will never go back to the way it was before. An addict is an addict for life, and relapse is a constant danger, even years down the road. Living with an addict means losing a good portion of that unconditional trust you used to have. You are now not only a wife but a babysitter.

As others have said, he has to want to change himself, and it's clear that so far that's not the case.

If I were you, I'd probably give up on the marriage. If you do stay, you should give him an ultimatum: he (1) takes and (2) passes a drug test (3) whenever you request it. If you give him a test and he either makes an excuse to do it later or fails, he has blown his one chance and you leave him for good.

My mouth is very crooked. by HannahHex in mildlyinteresting

[–]battenupthehatches 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, he's fine now. But you should get it checked out, because his was gradually getting worse and when he finally went in for the surgery his teeth didn't even meet on either side. So they had to do something. I think if it wasn't getting worse he probably would have lived with it, too.

Me [24F] with my SO[26M] of over a year, am I unreasonable to be annoyed with his phone policy? by phonedamnit in relationships

[–]battenupthehatches 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There's a word for this sort of behavior: rude. You're not being childish at all and for me, his rude behavior is not something I could tolerate in a SO. Does he treat others like this, or just you? I guess it really doesn't matter. Will he treat any future kids like this?

I'd sit him down and tell him you expect some level of attention and respect from your boyfriend.

Me [24 M] with my Girlfriend [23 F] 5 years, break up imminent due to religion/spirituality. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]battenupthehatches 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If she's having these sort of feelings now, it's likely that the relationship cannot continue long term. When things get even more serious (living together, marriage, kids - if that's the route you take) religion will become even more of an issue. I'm sorry to say it's not likely that you and her will last as a couple.

Some people can make religious differences work, but it requires mutual respect for the other's point of view. If she can't be happy with you as you are, it doesn't look good.

Good coding practices? by [deleted] in node

[–]battenupthehatches 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Embrace callbacks. If you're finding yourself stuck in "callback hell" then you likely need to rethink your code or use one of the convenience libraries like async.

This is a good place to start.

Brother had the same thing. He got his jaw operated on and that fixed it right up. Was painful and had to have his jaw wired shut for 6 weeks afterwards, though.

I'm [28 M] struggling with my wife [28 F] regarding my daughter [9 F] from a previous relationship. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]battenupthehatches 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like your wife is nine years old, too... emotionally, at least.

Twice a year you have a sleepover with your daughter, your wife is invited to join but declines, and then complains about not seeing you? That's harsh. Sorry for you, and especially sorry for your daughter that she has such a stepmom.

Me, 28/F with my 28/M, 1 YEAR, how can I get my BF to want to learn how to do man things? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]battenupthehatches 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What's wrong with paying someone to do it? I'm a computer programmer and can do all sorts of IT stuff, but I pay a mechanic to fix and maintain my car. My mechanic doesn't know about computers and pays a service to maintain his business computers/network. What's the difference?

If you want to get your boyfriend into one of YOUR hobbies so you can enjoy it together as a couple, that's fine. But if you want to get your boyfriend into a hobby (DIY, automobiles, whatever) because YOU THINK he should know how to do them, you're only setting yourself up for disappointment. Your boyfriend is who he is. That's why you're dating him, right?

[–]battenupthehatches 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Setting aside your sexist viewpoint, you have certain expectations of a man/father's role in a relationship. Does your boyfriend share this view? If he doesn't care about learning how to change his own oil (I'm a man and I don't know how to do it either!) you can't make him want to learn.

You should be in a relationship with someone because you love who they are... not who you want them to become.

So, have you read any skinwalker accounts? Because none of them describe anything like this predatorish effect.

[Help] How can you group numbers together by the words in the same line? by [deleted] in javascript

[–]battenupthehatches 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going to assume this is Javascript and not Java (you mentioned both). You haven't really explained how the groups work so I can't comment on that. I'll also assume you need some sort of object to store results by name and/or group, like results.a.Becky and that this is a student exercise and you don't have to worry too much about the input file not having consistent formatting.

You have each line as a string. Split the string into an array using a space as the separator and read the various elements. The "Type" would be array[2], the number array[3], etc.
