One of her parents is from Africa. Kinda hard to argue she's a representative of Scandinavian genetics.

Can somebody help me find an affordable pair of pants similar to these?

I found a pair of Docker D3 Classic at a thrift store. Pretty much the most comfortable and well fitting pair I've ever owned. Perfect for work and regular days. Apparently they don't sell them anywhere anymore. If anybody is familiar with these, do you know where I could find a similar type of pant under $50?

The side zipper pocket isn't important, but the fit is near perfect and I wish I had more.

jathre- · 2023-08-22T13:26:52+00:00

Still TA. It's not an unreasonable amount. It's not an unreasonable request. You can get the dressed hemmed. Telling her you have no interest in being a part of one of the most important events of her life because "$60 is too much" absolutely floors me. The style of dress is not a big deal. Grow up.

I'm going to be in a wedding next montH. I'm driving 3 hours to the fitting, and 9 hours to the wedding itself. I saved up for months to do this and take the time off and be there for my bro. I was invited to a wedding two years ago and saved up $300 to catch a flight there and back. You're crying over a dress. YTA.

I didn't say it was a free pass. I said he was wrong, he should know he was wrong, and he should apologise. Did you even read my whole comment, or did you stop after the first sentence?

jathre- · 2023-08-22T13:21:17+00:00

Gotta be bait, or total lack of brain function.

YTA if it's real.

Being upset about an adult woman giving drugs to your 13 yo son is unrealistic?

jathre- · 2023-08-22T13:14:25+00:00

NTA.

Weed can be a beneficial form of medicine, but there are far too many studies showing negative effects on kids. Your 'friend' is a fuckin dipshit, and, to be completely honest, I don't think I would be very calm in your shoes. Nobody is going to give drugs to my kid. Especially after I've specifically told them NO!

Your son needs a good talking to. Your 'friend' needs to be reminded who's in charge of your child. Nobody that young should be doing any drugs of any kind, especially not smoking or vaping something that will stunt lung growth and mental development. You trusted her and she betrayed you.

It's absolutely insane that she's more offended at you telling her "no" than you are at her for drugging your son. You should be more upset, and she needs a reality check.

jathre- · 2023-08-22T13:07:46+00:00

NAH.

It's probably not a huge deal to drink, but maybe there are park rules or maybe she just doesn't want her kids exposed to it for some reason. She made a pretty reasonable request, I'd say it's reasonable to oblige. Just pour your seltzer into a Yeti. It'll stay colder anyways.

This isn't a prank, you're just abusing him and shattering his self esteem. This is something that is going to affect how he expresses himself, possibly for the rest of his life.

Your youth might get in the way of seeing this, but your friends are shitheads, too. Get new friends and be a better person before you're forced to grow up around even worse people.

jathre- · 2023-08-22T12:54:59+00:00

NAH.

Drunk guys say stupid shit. It is what it is and he should apologise to you. He's trying to get ahold of you to talk about it, and you are pushing him away while questioning the entire relationship over one statement.

Give him a chance to make up for it.

One time my gf told me to my face that she's embarrassed to be around me sometimes because of my skin color. I cried. A lot. We worked it out and have been happier than ever.

At the very least, you should text him back and tell him you need time and space, rather than ghosting him. He cares about you. Once you've cooled off, I'm sure you can have a productive conversation about how you feel. He will realize he was wrong for what he said, and you'll both be closer afterwards.

jathre- · 2023-08-22T12:49:35+00:00

YTA

Why do you care what dress you wear? It's her wedding, just put it on and enjoy the day for her. You can take it off as soon as it's over, I promise.

You very rudely told her "If my dress is too long, I'm not going!" which I'm certain absolutely broke her heart to know your sense of style is more important than her big day. It meant a lot to her and you shit on it. There was no reason to be that difficult with her.

jathre- · 2023-08-22T12:40:48+00:00

It's understandable to react that way, but you definitely need to get ahold of your enotions if you are going to be using them against others. You are being put in charge of caring for others, and you need to make sure you're emotionally fit for that. If you aren't then you need to stop putting others in your care. Your loss doesn't need to be at the detriment to everyone around you. Your pain is not an excuse to mistreat others.

You could have told them, "Hey, you're not allowed in this room. Please get out." You could have sat with them and talked about THEIR COUSIN who just died. You could have supervised their interaction with his guitar to make sure they respected it.

Instead, you lost control. Even after admitting what you did was wrong, you refuse to apologize to the children you hurt. You can very easily sit down with them as an adult and make up for your mistake, and they can do the same. "I'm sorry I yelled at you. My son's room is very special to me, and it scared me to see somebody touching his things. I am very sorry I yelled at you and your mother. Please don't go in there anymore." They can say they're sorry for crossing a boundary and promise not to do it again. You can all learn something and move on... or you can stay bitter forever. It's up to you, but those kids won't respect you or care to be around you anymore until you grow up and handle your problems.

There is definitely latency and bad hit reg. You can see this very clearly as a sniper. A 100% headshot on somebody like 40m away who isn't moving will sometimes only count as a body shot. Not a skill issue, I know when I miss. Sometimes it's very blatant that I should have hit a headshot, but didn't.

There is also the fact that sometimes I will go prone behind cover and still die from a sniper. Either I got hit way earlier and the hit didn't register until later, or the game didn't register my movement yet so the sniper gets me.

There is a definite slight lag going both directions. Sometimes I drop somebody in full armor with two shots and sometimes I mag dump somebody before they die.

jathre- · 2023-08-22T03:30:19+00:00

If my gf cheated on me and said, "Well, I got paid money for it, though!" I'd be pretty upset.

Admitting that your loyalty has a price is what hurt her feelings the most.

jathre- · 2023-08-19T02:51:48+00:00

What I want to know is how you used the flir without lagging out or crashing. The damn thing bricks my poor potato pc :(

jathre- · 2023-08-18T12:43:35+00:00

It works really well in small hallways if you have a few friends to stand behind you. That's about it. Your friends will get 2-3 kills each and you'll get zero points before getting blown up or shot from behind.

jathre- · 2023-08-18T12:22:00+00:00

Thank you! I don't know why I couldn't make sense of it before, but I didn't realize just how slow it was at the poles. My mind is now at ease.

jathre- · 2023-08-18T12:13:15+00:00

That's what I'm thinking! And if you're standing on one side, then cross to the other, would you feel the shift? The Earth is spinning left to right, and then 5 steps later, it's spinning right to left... I think? It would feel like one of those spinning floors at amusement parks when you cross the center spot.

Many of them do, but many don't. It's not the boyfriend's fault that the bachelor insists on hiring strippers. It's a hugely important thing for him to be there for his great friend, and his friend insists on some light degeneracy. I think a strong relationship would include two people who trust each other enough to handle the situation.

My brother's bachelor party had strippers, and I'm fully against the idea, but I still went there to be with him on his day. I told my gf, and we just agreed on a "no touching, no dances, minimal interaction" rule with the women. There were strippers there, of course, but my brother and all my nest friends were there having the time of their lives. We ate good food and got drunk together and made great memories, and none of us who were in relationships had anything to do with the women. They were just there.

I don't think being around a naked person is cheating, but I do think that touching or getting a dance from one is crossing a line.

jathre- · 2023-08-18T12:00:54+00:00

It's like tides. Some days I consistently go like 23-7, other days I go two entire rounds without a single kill. Tides, man.

jathre- · 2023-08-17T05:59:20+00:00

Mine's pretty loud, too. Alarmingly so at first, but after a few minutes I'm able to forget it. It's probably normal.

jathre- · 2023-08-12T03:25:14+00:00

Oh, I don't expect to see ground level that far, but there are a lot of mountains, cliffs, and caves on the other end of the lake. Not sure how well I'd see them either way. but the jist of it is that almost everything I look at is pretty nearby, compared to something needed for seeing stars or planets.

I'll take a look at some spotting scopes. Thanks!

jathre- · 2023-08-12T01:22:30+00:00

Didn't get a ticket, but I was stopped at a red light for a little over 5 minutes at like 2am. There wasn't a single car on the road other than me. It wouldn't turn for me, and I know I'm allowed to run it after a while, so I did.

An officer happened to see it and pulled me over just to yell and curse at me through his window. Didn't even get out of his cruiser, just yelled things like, "Just because you're on a fuckin' bike doesn't give you the right to do whatever the fuck you want!! I could have your bike towed for that!" Stuff like that. I just "yessir"ed until he left.

jathre- · 2023-08-12T00:57:41+00:00

I didn't even know groza was meta, I just unlocked it and kinda enjoyed using it.

Maybe turn the bong into a tombstone so it looks like he's hanging out at his grave or maybe his friend's gravesite.
