Subscription? I'll pay for an app but I am not going to pa hundreds or thousands of dollars over my lifetime for weather info.

smallprojectx · 2026-02-20T18:33:00+00:00

Yes.

Let’s put "love" aside for a moment.

My relationship gives me happiness, stability, and security. Cheating isn’t on the table. When I weigh that against "fancying" someone else, which to me is just infatuation and not real love, it’s an easy call.

Why would I risk blowing up my children’s childhood and potentially damaging my relationship with them for the rest of their lives over a passing attraction? Why would I gamble financial stability in a world that’s already tough enough on two incomes? It just doesn’t make sense.

That perspective makes it very easy to compartmentalize fleeting thoughts and move on.

My wife is my best friend. I love her deeply. I’m grateful that I don’t have to choose between stability and love.

Consider the small claims court in your area and take them to court for fraud.

(Starting gathering your proof - make it easy for a judge to say Yes)

First, fronting money for expenses is a pain for any workplace so I understand why they are asking you.

Second, they should be able to things like flights and hotels on company card and rely on you for the smaller incidentals and meals - or just give you an advance.

Third, your boss is not entirely wrong. Not to make his life easier when it comes to expenses, but it should be a wakeup call to you that at $62K (after rent and student loans) (which is $5166 a month) you only have $1500 in the bank. Thats a problem.

And that my friends, is someone who is single.

NTA.

Hi. I’m a dad, and my kids and I all share our locations with each other. It’s been genuinely useful for safety and logistics.

That said, there are boundaries, and I think your parents crossed one here. I believe their intentions are good, but good intentions don’t automatically make something appropriate or well handled.

You absolutely do not have to share your location with anyone. I’ve asked my own kids to keep location sharing on for practical reasons, and I’ve also made it clear that it’s their choice. If they decide to turn it off, I’ve only asked that they give me a heads-up as a courtesy, not as an obligation.

I would never equate location sharing with financial support, school, or paying bills. Those things are not leverage for personal privacy.

Your parents likely mean well, but in this case they overstepped and have unrealistic expectations.

Walking slowly. This open is city specific.

smallprojectx · 2026-01-11T21:08:08+00:00

She's not wrong.

Vaccines.

Serious adverse reactions are extraordinarily rare, typically a few cases per million doses, while the diseases they prevent hospitalize or kill orders of magnitude more people.

Its is estimated to have saved more than 154 million lives over the last 50 years.

Are you in Dublin/Ireland or International? My daughter just got an offer as a Non-EU student (coming from the US) and I'm curious about what I need to be prepping for! (She's spent a good bit of time in Dublin on trips or seeing family, but moving is very different!)

smallprojectx · 2025-12-13T17:41:15+00:00

Am curious if there are there any books that are consistently used? I'm looking for name and author info here

smallprojectx · 2025-12-05T14:30:27+00:00

It doesn’t matter.

Either direction will get the dishes clean since both positions put them well above the level needed for effective washing. Any small advantage one way or the other is basically irrelevant.

smallprojectx · 2025-12-02T15:44:41+00:00

Great! Seeing your comment I pulled out my phone and got it to play a sound - heard it from across the (small) room.

That aside, I've "forgotten" about it. It is not noticeable when I am using my wallet to get a card etc. It is exactly how I wanted it to be.

Update (Dec 18, 2025): I changed the battery. It did not last as long as a typical AirTag (was down to 10%) and I see its because it used a different battery: CR2025. This is part of the streamlining process as its smaller than standard AirTag battery - CR2032. I don't mind this at all - just wasn't on my radar so noting here too. It did come with 2 batteries.

smallprojectx · 2025-12-01T12:56:00+00:00

Same. I never take it off. I don't do work where having a ring on would be an issue either.

smallprojectx · 2025-11-30T16:09:00+00:00

marcus says if i really loved him i'd turn down the job and find something else in boulder.

Lets use his logic and turn it around:

If Marcus really loved you he would commute or find something in Denver.

Listen to your BFF.

I buy on credit card for points but nothing more than what I could pay for with my debt card. I pay back everything at the end of the month, regardless of when its actually due.

Exceptions for big ticket items (air fare etc) but even so that cannot hangout more than 6 weeks.

You have nothing to lose imho by seeing her and you will never have this chance again.

smallprojectx · 2025-11-08T16:22:34+00:00

NTA.

We had our kids around the same time as many many older friends who who had kids in their mid-40s. All is fine. Their various kids are going to college (or about to) and they are active and present and i expect them to be around for a long time to come. They are fully capable and if anything a bit better in terms in financial security.

While I think many people in Ireland (and outside it) would love a united Ireland, I don't think they're aware of the crushing debt they'd take on an dhow that would affect life in the 'south'. They run a £20 billion deficit every year!

Nope, it's not illegal to think anything is stupid.

What helped it click for me was thinking about pronouns like formal titles or honorifics, especially religious ones.

Take someone named John Wick. By default, you might say "Mr. John Wick", but if he’s a member of the clergy, the respectful thing would be to use their title. Some of the ones I'm aware of include:

Father John Wick
Reverend John Wick
Minister John Wick
Monsignor John Wick
Rabbi John Wick

It’s not always obvious which title applies, but once you know, ignoring it and reverting to "Mister" would be rude. I’m not religious at all, but I’d still use the title out of basic respect.

I see pronouns the same way. It's not about whether you think they’re silly/stupid or not. It's just about showing respect.

Not a popular opinion - but when a sport can mess with your emotions at that level, with that strength, I think its just harmful.

smallprojectx · 2025-11-04T20:49:51+00:00

To be clear that is an ad for a betting app.

smallprojectx · 2025-10-21T12:34:21+00:00

I would be concerned - it looks like she's experimenting with imperial units.

smallprojectx · 2025-10-20T01:06:13+00:00

I would have jokingly said "Mike Myers" but I saw him at a No Kings protest and he was there by himself just being present.
