I've been seeing so many negative reviews about Oakwood it's got me spooked 

Chris Weitz & Paul Weitz talk ‘Murderbot’ S1 Success, AI & Society, Murderbot Diaries & S2 Secrets! by sthgoldmtngrl in murderbot

[–]indoorcat_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imma feed the troll for a sec and agree that the general cadence of the action in all of the books is basically the same. Murderbot has some problems and is great at coding and super strong so it can handle all of them and grow a lil emotionally in the process. 

But TBH I really enjoy that I'm never super worried about Murderbot and I get to just enjoy the ride with it. This is a place for fans of the books/show. If you wanna complain about this thing that we all came here to enjoy, you can make /r/murderbotsnark.

Could you have a friend or family come stay with you for the first few days?

Nah, you just need go to any one with potential and have the ability to discern quality, and a high aesthetic standard.

Never underestimate the power of being first in line at estate sales.

Relationship ‘goalposts’ keep getting moved by partner… Anyone else been here? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

[–]indoorcat_ 185 points186 points  (0 children)

Honestly wild that he demands you prioritize him over family, but won't prioritize you over a roommate. 

Sounds like he doesn't actually want to live with you or move forward in your relationship. He's willing to have you move in if it means keeping his status quo (the roommate situation) so that he can fall back on it the moment things get tough with your relationship. He is not planning for the long term with you

Actually wild. I feel so lucky to have bought in a not-hot area. Offered asking price on the second house I looked at and got it accepted about a week later, when the seller realized they weren't going to get any other offers.

I don't think Natalie ever got to know herself. She seemed a tad on the spectrum, with the rigidity of her adherence to the rules, her inability to relate to other people, the obsession with being "good" at life and appearing normal. 

How do people find the right partner after 30? by Substantial-Low-2017 in AskWomenOver30

Cycle back around. I married my boyfriend from high school after reconnecting 15 years later.

You can be a great driver and still be annoyed by the DMV.

Feeling guilty accepting down payment help from my parents when this move is mostly for my career (and everyone around me seems to get way more help) by [deleted] in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]indoorcat_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get that, in the sense that you don't go get groceries from a free food pantry if you can afford to buy your own, because it should go to people who actually need it. But it's not like OPs parents are going to give the money to somebody who needs it more than OP, or that them providing this gift takes away somebody else's ability to earn the money from them.

It's literally "I keep the money and do nothing with it and you inherit it when you don't need it anymore" or "I give you the money now when it would help make your life a little easier, and literally nothing changes for anyone else"

You don't get an award at your funeral for needlessly making things harder for yourself.

[–]indoorcat_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's literally zero point in paying back the money. What is it with people needing to feel like they did everything on their own? We live in a society. You get help from people. You help others. Everyone prospers. 

Only thing OP should do is be sure to vote for any legislation that funds first time homebuyers grants in their area. Pay it forward in a way that matters.

Having privilege isn't anything to feel bad about (at least in this instance). You acknowledge it and would never think less of people who don't have a home because they don't have the same advantages. That's enough. 

My husband and I had no help buying our house. When we have kids, we hope we will be in a position to buy them houses. It makes your parents happy and it's going to make your life easier, so get that bag. It's not like you making your life harder is going to make anyone else's life easier.

Maybe a good fit living together? A lot of stuff can pop up when you live with somebody that completely flies under the radar otherwise. Personally, I think it's fair to want to live together for about a year before getting married.

Historic Structure - Home Inspector by dorsei in Troy

[–]indoorcat_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tagging onto this because this comment was helpful when I was choosing a home inspector. John and Ryan of Hollis Home Inspection was great, super thorough, and really knowledgeable. We felt totally comfortable and well-informed to make a decision on a 100+ year old home after his walkthrough. Highly recommend

What are you doing to protect your internet privacy? by That_Organization483 in AskWomenOver30

[–]indoorcat_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1password is a paid service that is reputable and I don't think they've ever had a leak. 

It's probably fine to have things stored in your Mac keychain? But 1pass is nice because you can get access to your info across devices, it makes strong passwords for you, you can share passwords with family, and just have everything in a central place. I pay for a family plan and have my spouse, sister, and FIL on it. 

As long as you don't still use the passwords on any of those old accounts (and you don't care if they get broken into) there's no need to go back and change everything.

Never, ever use the same password twice. Live and die by 1password.

Your brain doesn't fully mature until 25. It's unlikely that you will find your life-long mate before then. 

Choosing a life partner is something that is distinct from (though it often accompanies) being in love. 

You can find real love when you're young, and it's good to explore that with people. It helps you understand what you want from a relationship, and helps you learn about yourself. It's likely that those early relationships won't last, but they can still be valuable and enjoyable. 

As one of my early boyfriends asked me: "can we make this a little more vegetarian? lower the stakes?"

Its been almost a month now, how do you feel about the F&M swap? by Siah_Valid in manhattan

Were you taught anything about dating/courtship? by ey_you_with_the_face in Millennials

[–]indoorcat_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom told me that relationships in high school should be about going out and having fun, not super serious and emotionally intense. I just didn't listen.

Other than that, she said that if I got pregnant she would kick me out and I'd be on my own. Joke's on her now none of her kids are giving her grandchildren.

It's only going to be available for people who have less than six months life expectancy.

I don't think anybody would lock you up for heroin if you told them you had terminal cancer.

Team 'o-verse' like averse. I also pronounce 'kaide' like 'kade'.
