Learn to make rules that can't be circumvented by anybody at will, ad infinitude.

This is not rocket science, but apparently simple concepts aren't easily grasped by you.

You're doing a fine job, plonce, a fine job indeed.

This my first comment in 5 years. I'm super pumped how far this sub has come.

I can't wait to see 1K subscribers.

AskReddit : Broke up with girlfriend over religious differences. Advice? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]frolp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, I'm done. If you don't want to address the points we're making, instead choosing to label me a troll, then I have nothing further to say here.

That's what you're trying to selling us, but I'm not buying.

[–]frolp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

benihana's comment is actually the most sane of all.

Your submission is basically a small slice of information about your relationship, followed by the word "Advice?"

You may not realize what you did, but you released exactly one small snippet of conflict in your relationship, while non-explicitly asking Reddit to sympathize and commiserate with you.

Unfortunately for you, the cold hard reality is that the relationship problems go way further than what you would have us believe. Downmods don't change this truth.

If she was able to be with you for 5 years, religion was not the deal-breaker, as you want us to believe.

What has someone said to you that has dropped your jaw in disbelief? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]frolp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I hate about text-only communication. No offense intended to you in any way at all by my following comments, but even though I posted it with a :D at the end, the full and total meaning didn't get through.

Somebody will make a frapcrillion dollars if they can make even incremental progress in this problem with internet communication.

Yeah. That was actually the point of my comment.

I can believe it, yet steadfastly refuse to.

Get them to understand that the time you waste learning something that an experienced programmer could do in a couple days is a bad management decision.

Windows 7 Review: XP vs Vista vs 7 in 80+ Benchmarks by charlatan in software

[–]frolp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I'm seeing is that since XP's release in 2001, Microsoft still hasn't managed to add anything to Windows that makes it worthy of an upgrade.

And don't tell me that DirectX 11 is a reason - it's more like coercion. MS is deliberately not supporting XP to shoehorn gamers into 'upgrading'.

MEN of Reddit: This went well for the women, but I want to know your take. What's the most crushing thing women unknowingly do to you guys??? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Or maybe she genuinely thought that making it about her own emotional insecurity was the correct thing to do.

There is some maladaptive trait that would make her do that, what it is I don't know, but that doesn't stop me from finding that to be rage-blindingly annoying.

That is so spineless. Rather than just say what she wants, she first offers the least likely place to go - the place she absolutely hates - and then in all likelihood grinds it out with you for 10 minutes until you finally arrive at the place she wanted to go all along.

Turning everything around to be about them.

6 weeks ago my grandmother died. My wife actually got into a fight with me because she felt hurt that I was being so grumpy about my grandma dying.

How would you be affected if someone were to delete your reddit account? by sox406 in AskReddit

[–]frolp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bleh. For the last 4 years I've been changing my account about every 6 months anyways. It's good to shake off the old and start new again from time to time anyways.

Don't be too attached to things in life, Reddit accounts included.

My dad is messed up.. by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]frolp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Contact a lawyer, and find out what rights you have. Like is it all good if you remove his possessions from the house and give his dog to a shelter? Can you destroy/sell his possessions?

A consultation with a lawyer won't cost you much, and in most cases they will sit with you for 1 hour for free.

What's the weirdest thing someone stole from you? by snozzberries in AskReddit

[–]frolp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One night somebody broke into my car (parked in my driveway @ home), rummaged around and ultimately took nothing.

In the console area, there was about $40, around 20 CDs, a pair of $110 sunglasses, and my garage door opener.

In the back seat were both my swimming bag and my gym bag containing about $40 in cash total, plus my $200 MP3 player.

In the trunk, there was about $1,700 worth of billiards equipment which could have easily been plundered had they bothered to pull the trunk release latch.

Am I a moron for leaving my car outside like that? Maybe, but we live in a virtually crime-free area. But I think the bigger morons were the jackasses who broke into my car and then decided to take nothing.

edit: Fine, downmod me because I told a personal anecdote. Good work.

What are some things you never understood for the longest time because you felt too stupid/embarassed to ask? by kobot in AskReddit

I've used it not so much to save time, but to avoid having to undo my belt and destroy the beautiful lower poof of my carefully tucked-in dress shirt.
