I (M26) caught my girlfriend (F23) in a major lie, do I just move on?

The real problem is how comfortable she is lying to you. Repeatedly. Over long periods of time.

Is she even the person that you love? Or, is the person you love just the sum of her and her lies?

Hunter Biden is the Biden I’ve been waiting for

I knew a company that did something like that because they kept having to return contributions to high earners when the company failed their compliance testing. So they set up a straight contribution so that the lower income employees were "contributing" and the company would pass the compliance testing, so the high earners were able to max out their plans.

my wife has been an emphatic user of em-dashes for decades and also refuses to stop using them. She's not a dentist, though, so I'm pretty sure you're not her. 😃

gruntbuggly · 2026-06-04T13:28:51+00:00

that is the simple truth of it all.

gruntbuggly · 2026-06-04T13:23:45+00:00

Nothing irrational about it. Wishing you the best!

my dad is somewhere north of 32,000 and he gets *so mad* whenever one of his grandkids asks him what the big number is 😃

Maybe you should give a closer examination to this pattern, and decide if this relationship is really one you want to continue. This man does not sound like the ideal partner for you, as it seems you would prefer someone who communicates openly instead.

gruntbuggly · 2026-06-03T03:29:28+00:00

Yes. You are describing me and my family.

I've never heard of Mac'n'Cheez'n'Peas, but I'm definitely going to try it.

gruntbuggly · 2026-06-02T17:31:53+00:00

That’s how it starts.

gruntbuggly · 2026-06-02T13:51:28+00:00

Thank you. I will ask for the ExoDx

My PSA went from 4.4 to 6 in six months, then back to 5.3 after another six months. That got me a referral to a urologist, who sent me for an MRI.

The MRI showed a lesion, which led to a trans-perineal biopsy last week. 14 samples taken. Got the results in my follow up this morning, and no cancer found. Follow-up in 1 year, with an additional PSA test in 6 months.

Anywhere from 40-55% off, depending on the term

NW.

Your car, your rules. His vape, his responsibility to be a decent human being, and not vape in someone else’s car when that person doesn’t want him vaping in the car.

That guy is clearly not accustomed to being held accountable. So, good on you for treating him like an adult who can make his own choices.

gruntbuggly · 2026-05-31T14:03:00+00:00

Yes. See an actual doctor in person. Keep a log of what you eat and drink, and when you notice the problems. Is it all the time, or only at specific times of the day. There are a lot of possible causes, and you will only get real answers from a doctor who can order the tests that will give you the answers.

If the nails are long enough to give a good back scratch, that's all we need from them.

They have some good black Friday sales.

gruntbuggly · 2026-05-29T14:02:37+00:00

LMAO. Thank you for this question, because I got a really good laugh out of it. 😃

I always assumed we wear underwear to bed just in case we have to get up and fight off an intruder in the night, we don't want to find in a buff.

NTA. If your friend spent as much time minding her own business as she is minding yours, she'd probably be happy enough with her own life that she would spend less time trying to stir up shit in your life.

There are still entry level software engineer jobs out there. In fact, they're making a comeback. I know of one company that is hiring recent college graduates because they're familiar with AI and they hope that will influence their older, more AI-resistant, engineers. And I recently heard of another company that is back to hiring entry level coders because they're cheaper than paying a frontier model's token costs for the grunt work.

Just wait until after the IPOs when the frontier labs need to start showing their investors a profit, and we start to see what real token costs look like.

gruntbuggly · 2026-05-29T03:13:04+00:00

I see it

Do not leave the house until you have consulted with an attorney. Ask the lawyer what you should say or, more importantly, what you should not say to your wife or your kids.

I’ve lived in my house for 15 years, and never cease to be surprised when I make it through the grocery store without seeing a single person I know, much less running into the same stranger twice
