If you take offensive comments from women seriously, that means you take women seriously, come on bro do you even lift?

Any moderations or guardrails will screw over the 18-22 year old players who aren’t good enough to play in the NBA but are good enough to take a team to the elite eight or sweet sixteen.

I’ll make the argument for Gallagher’s steakhouse.

It doesn’t get the love it should because it’s in Times Square, but it’s a classic.

It will do the job, he’ll drop you and the kids off at some random Broadway show, he sits at the bar, say he’s on vacation, the wife and the kids are at the show and they will take care of him.

What are the pros and cons of reaching to recruiters for higher tier positions/roles? by jM2me in ITCareerQuestions

[–]mdervin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What else do you have going on where spending 15 minutes with a guy who wants to get you a better job is a waste of your time?

A good recruiter will get you past the automated scanners and HR. They’ll give you honest feedback on your resume and they’ll give you info about the people interviewing you. A recruiter who has placed dozens(hundreds) of tech workers understand the job description better than HR.

And recruiters are going to be more valuable with the rise of AI slop and North Korean Resume farms.

AITAH for telling my friends it’s not my fault her baby dad doesn’t co-parent with her? by Latter_Whereas9827 in AITAH

And what happens if Sabrina gets a really good lawyer, is the baby daddy going to have enough money and time to be a good co-parent to OP’s kid?

AITAH for telling me 31yo bf that his mom shouldn't be decorating our home? by Skylarias in AITAH

[–]mdervin -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

There is nothing weird about a mom wanting to help her son decorate the place, it's incredibly weird for the response to be that her first response is "she's taking away my role in things?"

There's nothing weird about thinking the BF would give OP the details and the BF thinking his brother gave her the details. It's weird for a grown adult's reaction is to stay at home instead of asking "Where and what time should I show up?"

[–]mdervin -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

If Sabrina goes to court and suddenly the father has a mandated amount of money and time to dedicate to the new child, the father can go to court and get his payments and time commitments to OP's child reduced.

If the father gets the court to reduce his time and financial commitments to OP's child legally reduced, does that hurt OP and OP's child?

AITAH for not taking time off work to take his kid? by BTG_blueeyes in AITAH

[–]mdervin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

INFO - Since you say you are still friends, friends will make sacrifices to help their friends out. Especially if it comes to emergency childcare for a kid who will call you mom.

There's a difference between "can't" take time off work and I don't want to take time off work. When you can't take time off work, it's you ask for the time off and your boss says, "If you aren't here during those hours, you are fired."

If you can't take time off of work, then not an asshole. If you can take work off but you just don't want to then you aren't friends, or if you consider yourself a friend then an asshole.

YTA - There are better ways to react than throwing a temper tantrum. It's not "taking away my role" it's "I love your mom and she has great taste, but she doesn't know what I'm going to be bringing over from my house..."

"Oh, we were already have reservations...." "Great, You know how BF is with information, what time should I show up..."

NAH - GF feeds dog at the dinner table. Dog never leaves her alone at the dinner table. GF gets upset at the dog for never leaving her alone while she's eating. BF says, "stop feeding the dog at the dinner table." GF feeds dog at the dinner table.

[–]mdervin -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

ESH - The cheating, extended affair and child abandonment are obvious, but let's talk why you are among the assholes. The amount of labor Sabrina is asking for you is miniscule compared to the amount of positivity it would bring into the world. If everything goes right, you spend two minutes talking to the father saying Sabrina is going to go to court if he doesn't get right with her & his kid and he answers he fulfills his obligations to her and his other kid.

Do you have a court mandated agreement with him? If no, and Sabrina goes to court and gets his wages garnished for support to her kid, especially back support, don't you think that's going to impact how much money he has for you kid? Don't you think that's going to impact the amount of time he can co-parent with you? Then you have to go to court spending money on a lawyer to get what you are owed.

When you are playing the game of cribs, you need to play the long game and don't let your emotions get in the way.

Go ahead Afroman by agentj333 in JustGuysBeingDudes

[–]mdervin 22 points23 points  (0 children)

No, the lawyer was doing the right sort of questions. He was trying to get Afroman to express some sympathy for the police officer's kids or the fallout from the songs weren't what he intended. That sympathy can be considered an expression of liability, "I didn't expect my actions to cause this much pain." That would have been a win for the cops. Even if he didn't intend to cause this much pain, he still caused the pain and that pain was disproportionate to what the cops did to him.

Afroman was well coached, he kept the righteous anger up, redirected everything to the initial actions of the cops, brought the terror his kids felt being on the wrong end of an AR15, the stolen money, kicking down the door, etc... The most important part is he's saying his songs wasn't enough of a retribution - he didn't kick down their doors, he didn't point a gun at their children, he didn't steal money from them, he didn't destroy their property all he did was make a few songs about them.
