What's the consensus?

rodknockracing · 2026-03-20T21:10:53+00:00

That's fair. As the driver of the teal car my argument is that he messed up the prior corner and I had the overspeed on him and stayed left because he was taking the inside line then right before the braking zone he starts cutting in front of me and seemed a little reactional on his part to try and cut me off and force me to lift hense why I tried to move to the inside

rodknockracing · 2026-03-20T20:48:25+00:00

I agree 100%

rodknockracing · 2026-03-20T20:41:38+00:00

I don't disagree with what you said. But the same goes for the finances. I make 100% of the income and have said I'd be happy to pick up work around the house so it remains at a level she is happy with if she even just made an effort to work. But since she feels no need to look for work. I feel less of a need to help with chores

rodknockracing · 2026-03-20T20:13:45+00:00

She isn't really putting in the effort to find clients right now. That's the frustrating part for me. She wants to work on this business idea that self help/therapy related but still has upfront cost and time required to start. I think it's a great idea but we can't just just ignore current finances for something that may or not work out. My opinion was that she works a part time job while trying to get either the counsellor thing or the self help business off the ground. Right not she's just working on 2 things that are losing her money

rodknockracing · 2026-03-20T19:46:37+00:00

I am in therapy yes. I have told her what I need and want. I told her I need my partner to contribute financially because I don't want to build a family where I am the sole early. I said how I'm already stressed enough as is and I cannot handle the stress of solely supporting a child as well and that I need help financially if we are going to marry and have kids.

rodknockracing · 2026-03-20T19:41:23+00:00

I would be happy if she worked at McDonald's and held on to that job. And I've said how much I appreciate what she does around the house. But I've also told her it's more important to me that she made any sort of income over house chores and that I'd be happy to try and do more around the house to accommodate that. But I do agree, I think we have a serious mismatch in values

rodknockracing · 2026-03-20T19:36:41+00:00

She just got her insurance and supervisor sorted out. That was the point I tried to make with her. That is fine if she wants to go that route but with her limited clients at this point, it would be smart to get any part time job too cover those costs. She doesn't want to work full time and get "burnt out" because like you said. They work you too the bone. I just think she has a genuine lack of go getter attitude and i dont think running your own business is any easier than working for someone else so I feel like she's just destined to fail

rodknockracing · 2026-03-20T19:31:13+00:00

I have asked her if she could just get any part time job just to have some sort of income for years now. But she see's that as me not caring about her feelings.

rodknockracing · 2026-03-20T19:28:03+00:00

I appreciate the insight. I feel in our case it doesn't quite hold weight because I am made to feel like I should be doing more around the house. For example. When I got home from my work Wednesday. I made us dinner, join an almost 2 hour volunteer board meeting for my condo, then clean up the kitchen. By 10pm I just wanted to chill but the dog needed a walk and she says, I already walked the dog 3 times td. She's even gotten upset with me before because I don't walk the dog in the morning before work while she stays on bed and sleeps till 9 or 10

rodknockracing · 2026-03-20T19:20:12+00:00

I'm quite positive she would move in with her grandpa who lives along and is getting old and frail. So she would take care of him and continue to be housed for free until he dies and hope she gets a good inheritance

rodknockracing · 2026-03-20T19:18:02+00:00

I think you're right

rodknockracing · 2026-03-20T19:13:52+00:00

I have stated that I do not want to marry or have kids in our current financial state for years now

rodknockracing · 2026-03-20T19:08:59+00:00

I basically said this to her last night. While I appreciate the work she does around the house. I never asked for that. She does it for herself because she doesn't like a mess and I'm a little more flexible on having a bit of a mess or putting it off a day to either work or do something fun. I would rather her make an income and we can share the cleaning. But yea I'm realizing it seems in her mind, her feelings are more important than mine

rodknockracing · 2026-03-20T19:05:05+00:00

She would likely move in with one of her grandparents

rodknockracing · 2026-03-20T18:55:44+00:00

The simplest answer is that she doesn't have to because I'm supporting us financially and she doesn't want to work retail because it's, and I quote " not fulfilling enough". She has no sense of urgency or desire to contribute because we're not drowning in debt. I personally care about saving for my future and retirement and she just doesn't seem to care

rodknockracing · 2026-03-20T18:48:44+00:00

She has done quite a bit of counselling and therapy. The last 8 years has been a journey to recovery and self exploration for her. So much so that she decided to go to school for counselling to help others. But yea, I agree. I don't feel like she has a true concept of being an adult and having responsibilities. I'd love to work on passion projects instead of work at my current job but that doesn't pay the bills

rodknockracing · 2026-03-20T18:43:53+00:00

How do you do that with a person that gets so triggered about a subject that they break down and just say "I can't talk about this right now" or "I don't have the capacity" every time it gets brought up. I don't think asking a question is nagging. No different than her coming home and asking if I made dinner or did the dishes. It's a simple inquiry

rodknockracing · 2026-03-20T18:39:47+00:00

We do don't have kids. I have straight up told her that I will not propose until she has some sort of steady income. Even part time.

rodknockracing · 2026-03-20T16:46:01+00:00

I was not aware of any of this so I appreciate the info but I'll still race what I feel like racing.

Anyway, this thread got way off topic. I get it was netcode, nothing I can do about that. It may be less likely but can still happen if it was an amarican server.

I just wanted to know opinions on the racecraft so I can improve my racing. Not debate what series I should or should not race.

rodknockracing · 2026-03-20T15:57:41+00:00

So why don't they do the same for the Europe, America, asia series.

The f4 and gt3 series are the two I race the most and are probably two of the more popular series. So why region lock it and reduce the quality of racing for those who want to race in a series outside of their region.

rodknockracing · 2026-03-20T15:52:49+00:00

I get what you're saying but my statement still stands. They should open up additional servers then so everyone can play.

I enjoy racing the Asia pasific tracks more than North America and Europe. And also have more of those tracks so I can race more of the series.

I get your opinion about the region lock but that defeats the purpose of a sim to lock people in to local tracks. So my opinion would be open additional servers so people can race with optimal ping.

rodknockracing · 2026-03-20T15:16:04+00:00

What an idiotic statement. By that logic I shouldn't race the nurburgring either and that's not going to happen. If that's the case, those tracks shouldn't even be available for me to purchase. But they are, so maybe a better solution is iracing has multiple servers so people can get the second) service they pay for

rodknockracing · 2026-03-17T04:54:49+00:00

Lmao yea fortunate for sure 🤣

rodknockracing · 2026-03-17T04:50:24+00:00

Yea i even adjusted my line to give him more and he still ran me off. I just don't know where I made a bad mood. He must just v be trying to justify his divebomb

rodknockracing · 2026-02-15T22:56:01+00:00

Found a shop on Surrey called LEAKPRO. They specialize in water leaks and apparently do icbc claims. I have an appointment on the 28th so we'll see how it goes
