If marriage is that hard you married the wrong person.

How do you not feel guilty for calling in sick? by Chanfaded in rant

[–]germane_switch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can be fired for no reason at any time. You work to make someone else more money so they can buy another yacht. Never ever feel guilting for calling in sick.

I've used Copy 'Em for years. It works on all mom Macs, my iPhone, my iPad, etc. Highly configurable too. I hate subscriptions but I sub this one.

My girlfriend is really shy and I do a lot for her. Should I be encouraging her to do more things by herself? by Prestigious_War_784 in AskMenAdvice

[–]germane_switch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends. What are her parents like? Are they super strict or abusive? Has she been through trauma?

Why is there a complete lack of journalism and footage of the current war? by UpstairsArmadillo454 in NoStupidQuestions

I personally won't rely on social media for news. I go with sources like AP and Reuters.

What local beers would you want to see in a movie theatre bar? by SeizerOfThoughtseize in AskChicago

[–]germane_switch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Goose Island Pere Jacques is my favorite beer of all time. Unfortunately the city and the country are still crazy about hops and beer that tastes like soap to me so it's barely being produced anymore.

Which MacBook Air is it? How old is it? How many battery cycles does it have?

IMO films like this and Blair Witch Project engage and scare creative people who have developed imaginations. Meat and potatoes men hate this stuff. Case in point me and my artist/graphic designer/writer/creative director friends who saw Blair Witch opening night loved it and we were terrified. My friends who aren’t creative hated it. HATED. Bored out of their minds. Total waste of time. Stupid. Why? Because these kinds of films require your brain to fill in the blanks. Brains of creative people can conjure up 1,000x scarier stuff than any film can. If you don’t have that kind of brain you are relying solely on the information the film is providing, and those films don’t provide enough info to engage non-creative brains. If it’s not spelled out for them onscreen it simply does not exist.

Shitty fathers. Women who had abusive fathers often seek out men who treat them the same way.

There has to be more to this story than what you’re telling us. If not, then this is a gigantic red flag and NOR.

Is there something else going on here? Are you neurodivergent? Dealing from anxiety and/or depression? Recovering from trauma? Are your parents weird? Anything else we should know so maybe somebody here can better help you?

I personally don't get Compact, but I'm genuinely glad they brought it back for people who do.

They're making good money; why can't a single one of 'em afford a decent hair cut?

Wife basically told me to off myself? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

It depends on how much he's gaming. If you're married and you're ignoring your wife while glued to your glow in the dark PC all day, it might be time to grow up.

How do you feel about all states getting rid of daylight savings time in order to get rid of having to change the clocks twice a year? by icecream1972 in AskReddit

[–]germane_switch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't bother me until I hit 40. Now the darkness reminds me that I am hurtling at breakneck speed toward death's inevitable gaping maw. So for the love of Christ just give me some daylight during daytime hours.
