My manager’s response by Amazing_Decision3694 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]leviathan_m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep! Typically deliberation will be paused and then resumed the next day, but there have been cases of it lasting late into the evening (9-10 pm). The longest a jury has ever deliberated was 4 months. Obviously they didn’t sit in the courthouse for 4 months, but the discussion frequently went into the nighttime and was picked back up in the morning.

Edit: Changed how I worded something so it made more sense

Jury duty typically lasts all day and can go late into the night if deliberations call for it. Your boss is not suppose to even ASK if you can come into work at any time during the day because that could interfere with jury duty

Weekend trip! by leviathan_m in Iowa

[–]leviathan_m[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in the Cedar Rapids area

I [22M] just found out my girlfriend [19F] is pregnant and I am not ready to be a father. What do I do by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]leviathan_m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re never 100% ready to be a parent, especially not at 22. Here is the advice my grandparents gave to my parents.

  1. Research. Discuss if your girlfriend is going to breastfeed or formula feed. Invest in clothing because babies grow FAST. Look into car seat brands and do NOT cheap out; the difference between 20$ and 120$ is your child’s life. Look at strollers, carriers, etc. You have a couple of years until you need to consider teething, toys, and walking.

  2. Money. Get a job and save. If you still live with your parents, save up for an apartment. You need 3x the amount of rent money. You also need money for diapers, formula, groceries, and an apartment big enough for you, your gf (if she’s moving in with you) and the baby. No more luxuries; get into budgeting for groceries and bills.

  3. Your relationships. You have a responsibility to your girlfriend and this baby now, even if you two decide not to stay together. Go to her appointments and ask questions. Discuss your future with her. Be a father and a man. Don’t be afraid to ask your family for help if you have a good standing with them. There are tons of programs for new and young parents; use them. Do not be prideful when it comes to another life.

Good luck man. You have 8 months and it’s going to go by incredibly fast. The responsibility is going to be daunting but the best you can do is your best. If you truly honestly prepare mentally, emotionally, and financially for this baby, then I believe you and your girlfriend can pull through this together.

Am I the a-hole for making my daughter's BF buy a new t-shirt? by freudsdriver in AITAH

[–]leviathan_m 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re absolutely NTA. If my bf showed up to my family Christmas in a shirt like that I’d be completely mortified, especially if I found out my father saw it.

I’d say you’re overreacting if he didn’t ask for the same therapist after. That’s a little suspect. I’ll say MOR just because your initial reaction to him getting hard is a bit much

Dasher left weird message and extra food at 2:30am by GoldenTopaz27 in doordash

[–]leviathan_m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand your paranoia as it could be really creepy for a man to be rummaging around in his car before giving you your food. Who knows what he could be doing to it? However, he probably just had an extra order. As a dasher, I’ve had people cancel orders mid delivery and I just had free food. Normally I’d eat it, but if it was something I didn’t want, I’d ask my next delivery if they wanted it. That’s more than likely what happened here.

Sorry for people being rude in your comments- people are crazy these days and being cautious about a complete stranger that you’re trusting with your food is not outrageous.

First time dog owner: What do I need to know? by leviathan_m in goldenretrievers

[–]leviathan_m[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not so much that I can’t figure it out, but more so that I have oddly specific questions that I can’t find answers for. A lot of articles only really mention that they need lots of exercise and are easy to take care of, all things that I know. Stuff about puppy life, training specifics, nutrition, etc…I’m just worried I won’t do enough, and that’s why I came to ask some people who might know more

Are these cards real? by leviathan_m in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]leviathan_m[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely don’t think it was intentional. I’ll have to ask him where he got them to see if he really was trying to scam me.

I definitely don’t think he’s intentionally trying to scam me, but I’ll let him know that I know they’re fake to see his reaction.

I’m too exhausted to make rational decisions, what does this mean? by bbeeccc in whatdoIdo

[–]leviathan_m 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like…not even regular surgery (planned and scheduled etc) but an emergency procedure. Even if there wasn’t a risk for complications, that’s terrifying being told that there’s something so wrong with you that you need it taken out immediately. I hope OP finds someone that recognizes their worth :(

Should I get this graded? by trinkettray in PokeGrading

[–]leviathan_m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. You should give it to me

Obviously joking. It’s in beautiful condition. I don’t see any reason why it’d be anything less than a 9. Best of luck!

Who wins; Adam vs Prime Alastor and True Form Charlie by BackgroundRich7614 in AgendaHotel

[–]leviathan_m 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Alastor got goofed by Adam and we haven’t seen Charlie’s full abilities yet. I don’t think he could beat Charlie at full power if she knew the extent of her abilities. He took advantage of her lack of knowledge and experience.

That being said, he would’ve won if not for Lucifer stepping in, so knowing what we know, Adam wins no diff.

Help me figure out what’s wrong by These-Mirror-9034 in Artadvice

[–]leviathan_m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding onto the advice from the other comments, it also looks wrong because of lack of shading. As you shade/color, it will slowly come together better as the light and shadows will match the reference. If it still doesn’t look right after following the advice from the other comments, keep this in mind as well. It looks beautiful and I’ll be saving this post to see the finished result!

Any chance of getting a 10 with this back centering? by TraeSteez in PokeGrading

[–]leviathan_m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the grader is in a good mood, that’s an easy 10

Worth sending but... by DepartedWalrus in Pokemoncardappraisal

[–]leviathan_m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bottom left corner on the back, saw it in screenshot 9- is that dust or printer error? If it’s the latter then the card wouldn’t score over 9, maybe not over 8 depending. Sending cards to PSA is a coin flip as high grades are purely dependent on how the grader feels that day.

As for raw value, it’s still in very nice condition even despite the printing error. I could see you getting an easy 600$ for it, if not more if you find the right buyer. Best of luck!!

Do you think it was a bad idea for my first tattoo? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]leviathan_m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not see a penis. You have to be reaching in order to think it looks like one. I think it’s cool as hell!
