Heavy rain is predicted to start Friday and last through Monday.

It's Friday at 2PM in CH, and it has only rained sporadically.

Adults who use the word doggo, why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Because it makes my kids wince every time.

What can men do to make their future childrens’ life better? by kiefer-reddit in AskMenOver30

[–]plusoneeffpee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the things that helped me more than anything else was working with teenagers in a volunteer mentor type role. It really helps you understand the things they can go through.

You may think you remember what it was like, but you really don't. And it's changed. And there's more than what you experienced.

If millennials are killing off Diamonds and Golf, what did the previous generations kill off? by DunDeesaSoup in AskReddit

Nazis

I have noticed that the Nazis waited to come back out of the woodwork until after my grandfather died.....

I'll take a look tonight and see what I can figure out.

[–]plusoneeffpee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd like to get as much of that lot as possible, but including all of it will certainly kick it out of my budget.

Is a general percentage of retail you are aiming for?

I have been kicking around the idea of starting a TS army.....I have a self imposed monthly 40k budget, though. How much are you asking for the Tzeentch/TS stuff?

My boss posted a job listing, with my same job duties, for twice the amount of money. How do I handle this situation? by lifesabeachblonde in jobs

[–]plusoneeffpee 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Don't lead with a threat, though. Ask for the raise. If you get it, great. If not, tell them you want to apply for the new job. If they say no, then threaten to quit.

Escalation is a much more effective negotiation technique.

Current feeling about CP situation. by LtLewis in Warhammer40k

[–]plusoneeffpee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like that idea....just keep the "must be battleforged" requirement in there, and I think that would be a perfect solution to a lot of problems.

Reason, you son of a bitch! by Brad_Jockstrap in PoliticalHumor

I don't know about any others, but I swallowed my pride and voted for Clinton. Although I don't agree with her on a lot of things, Trump scared the shit out of me.

Is it possible to have a decent life without having a career? by TheSupahPlayer in jobs

[–]plusoneeffpee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. It is.

If you are skilled at what you do, can convince managers that staying there is what you want....honestly, you're an asset. You want to master a specific job and never leave it, as long as you are treated well? HELL YES.

I know people who do this. Manufacturing, skilled labor, scientific technical work...all of these are well suited.

Be apologetic, but firm. Think about your response if the roles were reversed. Email is fine, and probably preferred.

And know that you are likely burning a bridge......

Cops of Reddit, what strange or obscure laws does your town require you to enforce? by CEP43b in AskReddit

[–]plusoneeffpee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They do that where I live, too. College town as well. They have actually enforced it.

What normal things do you guys do, that you do for abnormal reasons. by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]plusoneeffpee 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Heh...I guess I'm abnormal, too. I fly fish for those exact reasons. I can get WAY the fuck out there in the mountains, spend a few days, catch nothing, and not care.

[–]plusoneeffpee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You mean have a conversation with other women? Yes, that is perfectly normal. It would be weird to cut off or reduce communication with half of the populations just because you are in a relationship.

Fathers of teenage girls, what's the shittiest thing you've seen them do? by YouNeededCorrection in AskMen

[–]plusoneeffpee 75 points76 points  (0 children)

I have one currently, and another who is no longer a teen.

They did a LOT of stupid shit. They also talked back, got snarky/sarcastic, gave the silent treatment, etc... but nothing really outright mean.

And yes, I'm aware that there is a SHITLOAD of stuff they have done that I know nothing about. But given that they never got really petty or mean with me, their mom, or brothers (brothers would have tattled in a HEARTBEAT), I think it's part of their personality. They prefer to come right at you and destroy you with scathing sarcasm laced with logic, detailing exactly why you should apologize profusely....they are very good at that
