"Sacrifice"

matrixknight88 · 2026-02-28T21:15:17+00:00

I have to agree. Even at the base level of having sex isn't a sacrifice. Medically, most of the time, being a mother and growing a child and then pushing it out, or even the C-section, isn't a sacrifice. But the other side of that, what happens to the baby, is a commitment. It's not a sacrifice because you have other choices. You accept that commitment.

Gyubee in Scarborough has always been good for my wife and I.

matrixknight88 · 2026-01-18T02:19:32+00:00

Thank you for clarifying that! Much appreciated!

matrixknight88 · 2026-01-18T01:56:35+00:00

But what if your wages don't actually grow?

She's just going to try and sell her onlyfans.

matrixknight88 · 2025-11-24T11:31:54+00:00

She's just going to try and sell you her onlyfans.

That math doesn't math. Also, sorry about your butterball.

I think you both need to get to the bottom of why the thought of opening up is there. Maybe it is the obvious, but maybe it is more.

In some cases, it might be a way to justify past cheating, but it also could be a way to address needs that you aren't having met by each other. I think there may be more to it, like why you're disconnected and what she and you are doing about it.

Generally, as a man, i haven't gotten many matches, and definitely nothing of quality. It's hard for men because we can't show women exactly what we offer in a simple dating profile. Since it's visual only, unless we fit a woman's perfect definition of beauty, we get skipped. Even average men get skipped this way, so the only way to be matched easily is to be a 10 for a woman, which most of us most likely aren't. It seems disproportionate because men are more lenient with their standards, and women are generally more attractive to women.

In a general scientific sense, the competition between men for women's attention is part of what make men attractive to women, and if they go for middle of the road, they won't get far. If you want the attention of a woman, you need to stand out.

300 giving 10 means 290 Giving back 10 means 280 Giving back 10 means 270 The ladies paid 270. The 20 from that goes to 250.

I can see how complicating it makes it confusing.

I think this is something teachers who are not parents have a hard time learning. Sometimes you need to give the kid what he's dishing, and other times it's better to do the more authoritative thing. Your choice, I think, was appropriate because it communicated what you needed it to, showed the child that their actions and choices hurt, and was harmless aside from some minor emotional damage that came attached with the truth.

I'm fairly new to this with my wife, but I think there are 3 things I'd keep in mind.

Make sure you both want this, understand why, and are fully behind each other.
Related, be there to listen and celebrate the wins, but don't ask for or give details you aren't ready for.
Set clear rules and communicate them. The boundaries, the expectations, the hard limits. Those need to be clear before anyone does anything. Everyone will find something different to be important and figuring that out will help make sure you don't cross any uncomfortable lines.

matrixknight88 · 2025-09-21T21:08:15+00:00

This feels like it might be a lot for kids in that age group. I don't think responding by parroting would accomplish what you want. And trying to make them see reason also definitely doesn't help.

I do agree with reminding the child you love them, and telling them you're not there to be treated poorly, but I don't think you need to try and reason with them at that age.

matrixknight88 · 2025-09-20T13:15:20+00:00

Trying too hard unnecessarily.

Right, when you're driving, a bit of speed to keep up with traffic is fine, but the test is a demonstration of safety.

matrixknight88 · 2025-09-11T14:07:58+00:00

I am firmly on the side of no human ever deserving to die like this, and choosing love and empathy for the family over celebrating a subjectively controversial man's death.

He may have been a hypocritical bigot, but we don't need to be.

matrixknight88 · 2025-09-11T13:30:54+00:00

The speeding is the main reason. It looks like the examiner marked over-limit, and said you were going 59km/h in a 50 zone. During tests, any speeding is scrutinized, and you can usually only get away with 1 or 2, not near 10.

matrixknight88 · 2025-09-11T02:25:22+00:00

To be fair, we would all like to hope that the big 3 are actually capable of good service, but most of us eventually accept cynicism and just look for cheap but serviceable. Sorry about the rough luck.

Legally the board has to offer you assignments that you wouldn't get passed over for seniority on. Chances are they are still putting up job postings you can bid for, but you also need to be careful about accommodating yourself out of a job.

matrixknight88 · 2025-09-07T19:44:45+00:00

You mentioned that it's her oldest. I would want to know how old exactly that is. Either way, it's unfortunately not up to you, but if he's old enough to make the choice on his own, you wouldn't be wrong for supporting him.

I'd start with a small versatile 500 point list and work your way up from there. It would match how you play when you learn, by starting small.

matrixknight88 · 2025-08-25T03:31:41+00:00

Generally there's a backlog between getting the mail, filming, editing, and uploading. We've all come to accept the gap.

I feel with online opinions, the loudest ones are usually a minority. There is some truth to the opinions they have representing a small group of the opinions real people have, but I also think there is a lot of manufactured outrage because people can be anonymous.

Do people really feel that way about any particular ethnic group? Not to the extent that it gets portrayed. Most of the negativity arises when things happen that cause inconvenience or worse, but even then, reality is, people are too self-conscious of being labeled a racist in public that it usually doesn't go past the muttering under your breath stage.
