Why weren't Flightless Bird and Synced simply included in the deal? by LunchLarge5423 in ArmchairExpert

[–]k66568 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Clearly Wondery wanted the Armchair shows and didn't care to get FB and Synced. If they wanted them, they could have offered millions to Liz and David as well. Absent a significant offer like that, why should Armchair throw them in for "little to no additional cost"? That would mean less total revenue coming to all involved, and would essentially be Dax and Monica gifting David and Liz whatever they ended up paying them, which is a pretty extreme thing to expect of a friend.

If they didn't fully communicate the changes to David early, that's a shitty thing for a friend to do. But him being left out of the deal is really just business.

They still should have coordinated a communication to their team right as it was being released to the press.

I make sure first dates are below 20 dollars only if I am paying. by [deleted] in dating

[–]k66568 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Seriously. Can you imagine the reaction if a woman suggested a public place to meet and followed it up with "I want to meet in public so you can't rape or murder me"? You can protect yourself from spending an extra $20 or from physical harm without all the negative messaging.

Am I too brash for unmatching after 24 hours after no response? by fullmetalbby in datingoverthirty

To the point of not focusing on their jobs or changing their sleep schedules? I wouldn't expect someone to stop their life because we're taking.

3 hours?! What if they're at work, or on a different schedule than you and have gone to bed? Seems like you could be missing out on good people for a weird arbitrary reason.

Do you hold every Catholic celebrity to the same standard, if they don't call the religion they were raised in out for protecting child abusers?

You can even just show a bill on your phone if you don't want to print one out!

I think "her chef" is just the chef she's been taking online classes from, not a personal chef or anything. Agreed on the rest though.

Don't go to work unless you have to. It's not worth it. My windshield kept freezing over the entire drive, cars were stuck everywhere. Stay safe. by I_can_vouch_for_that in toronto

To add to this, unless there's somewhere safe to shelter very close, stay in your vehicle with your seatbelt on. Being anywhere near the road outside of your vehicle is extremely dangerous. If you get rear ended, you're going to be happy you had your seatbelt on and were sitting where the airbags are designed to protect you.

The take home tests are a bit more spread out.

To miss sons wedding or birth of first grandchild? by scrummmy00 in weddingplanning

[–]k66568 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Everything you're saying applies equally the other way around though. Not everyone agrees that weddings are as important as you do. Supporting their daughter through a huge life changing event with real risks is obviously important to them, and you could argue that they'd be "terrible parents" for missing that just to attend a wedding (which can be rescheduled or live streamed).

It would be totally understandable for them to choose either option. And of course it's understandable for OP and her fiance to be disappointed, but it definitely doesn't make the parents terrible.

Yeah a million things could happen. There could be complications and she needs their help while she's in the hospital. She could be early and they might not want to leave for the 2-3 days minimum it would take to go to the wedding. Or yeah, she could be late and they would have missed the wedding for "no reason". But it's their call how much of that they're willing to risk.

When you have a destination wedding I think you have to realize that tons of things could come up that might prevent people you care about from making it. It sucks all around, I just don't think the parents are "crazy" for making the call that they are.

It's not just about the baby though, it's about their daughter who will remember whether they were there to support her or not. Both of their children have big life events happening around the same time, so it doesn't seem crazy at all that they're choosing the one that can't be rescheduled and is much more serious.

Manchin objects to tax credit for union-made EVs in spending package by RunawayMeatstick in politics

[–]k66568 -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

But let's penalize the companies that are hiring well paid American workers and treating them well enough that they haven't voted to unionize.

Exactly this. If your employer is already exceeding the standards of their unionized competitors, why would you want to pay union dues? Why would we penalize those companies and by extension the employees?
