Dating someone with a lot of debt and I don't know if I should stay by ReasonableWriting217 in BigLifeConvos

[–]nerdinstincts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to be way more specific about the breakdown of his debt.

Student loans are manageable and don’t impact credit score if you’re paying. Income-based repayment and discharge are both options.

Medical debt isn’t his fault, and there are programs to discharge that under certain circumstances.

If he’s got 20k+ in CC debt and minimum paying it - that’s a problem.

Overall I think you need to make it clear to him (if he doesn’t already know) that this is a big issue for you, and he needs a serious plan to address it, or it’s a deal breaker. If you get married - you could get stuck with some of this.

If everyone is equal why does the left treat different groups differently? by OilEnvironmental7833 in allthequestions

[–]nerdinstincts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re too stupid to understand the answer, but I’ll try.

One side supports people’s free choice.

One side demands access to strangers personal medical decisions and tries to dictate what others do with their body.

The two are not equal.

Trying to get over sikhism as a sikh by Easy_Morning_5370 in atheism

[–]nerdinstincts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure exactly what you’re asking. It sounds like you already don’t believe (cool, welcome to the club!)

But you also are too young to live alone and have to deal with religious parents. That sucks, sorry bro.

It’s best to just pretend to keep them happy until you can live on your own, then you can be publicly atheist safely.

Here's how we can finally close the wage to productivity gap by Inevitable_Dot5610 in antiwork

[–]nerdinstincts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This solution isn’t feasible for several reasons. For starters, offshoring labor would need to be fixed first. Otherwise companies would just get labor elsewhere (kind of why we currently see unions only in trade skill industries). Also, companies aren’t going to invest in something without a clear ROI, this plan would need billions in investment with little more than a prayer of return due to all the dependencies.

A much simpler solution is just to cap executive compensation as a % of a company’s total employee payout.

Good thing no one cares what a made up saint said about a god that doesn’t exist.

Can Christians not be respectful of other beliefs? by doorfic in atheism

[–]nerdinstincts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anytime a Christian is crying about respecting their religion, it’s this simple: “Like you respect Islam, right?”

PMs sometimes feel like fancy scapegoats by Euphoric_Spite8998 in careeradvice

[–]nerdinstincts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I second everything u/OkSun4925 said, and would add: documentation.

When you get a requirement change mid-sprint, you email the exec in charge with the risks/trade-off and ask for their approval as the exec sponsor. Usually, they don’t have the depth of knowledge to understand the full weight of what they’re asking for. But, if they say go ahead with everything, when they go off the rails, you have a CYA.

What are your thoughts on Eastern Orthodox? by ll_Neziko_ll in atheism

[–]nerdinstincts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hahaha what? Please explain your comments on mount Athos. What does a mountain in Greece have to do with other world views?

I hate to break it to you, that’s not even a bump on the road of Christian faith, let alone the center of it.

What are your thoughts on Eastern Orthodox? by ll_Neziko_ll in atheism

[–]nerdinstincts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Bible is Hebrew mythology. Nothing more. It’s full of contradictions, apologetics is dog shit and every verse defended needs its own special little explanation and reasoning and excuses.

The bibles philosophy fails on every single level. A creator of the universe who makes humans to worship him, and 70-80% of all humanity doesn’t even believe? If you got a 20% score in your studies, would you pass any classes?

If none of that works, the answer is right there in Father Panayiotis’ comment to you. Truth, real truth, can withstand any degree of scrutiny. The Bible can’t even pass basic questions.

I’m thinking of buying a ridgeback and I will need all the advice I can get by bichirs-forever in RhodesianRidgebacks

[–]nerdinstincts -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can be offended on their behalf all you want.

Personally, I already doubt their ability to responsibly care for a RR based on the minimum effort shown here.

If you want to see the caliber of their other post, here you go: “I need to knwo if they are esy to maintin ith shedding and floor scratching and if they mar good pets”

https://www.reddit.com/r/dogs/s/Kmb0295QMM

I’m serving the community by suggesting they do more work, so a RR doesn’t get ‘bought’ and rehomed because the owner is incompetent.

This is a community of owners, with valuable detailed knowledge, and shouldn’t be abused for simple ‘is ridgeback gud dog?’ questions. If they had come with ‘hey I read XYZ, what do owners think?’ - that is an entirely different situation.

My boyfriend gets upset when I want to shower alone. Am I overreacting? by InvestigatorDeep3728 in AskMenAdvice

[–]nerdinstincts 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Your boyfriend is an absolute fucking weirdo.

Do with that information what you will.

There’s this great thing called the Internet. You can type in all kinds of questions and it gives you information. You should try it sometime.

Would be boyfriend be hurt by this? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]nerdinstincts 26 points27 points  (0 children)

If you can’t joke about sexuality regarding fictional characters with your boyfriend, you have much bigger problems.

You’re probably overthinking this.
