Such a big YouTube you’d think they could pay for it themselves and write it off as a business expense

While a good start, they do still pay other kinds of federal taxes (without representation), such as payroll taxes

I don’t see Wiles Ó Briker either

I left early in the morning with as much stuff as I could, I went to the next town over and sat in the parking lot waiting for the rental place to open so she wouldn’t have a chance of browsing around town before work and find me. Before I got the rental I got all my money out as well. Aftrt getting the rental I went back to the house

I’m really confused about the logistics of this. How did he get to the next town over and back? Did he take the shared car? How does he get the rental car then, does one of the staff bring it? Why would she be looking for him around town, was it one of his days off so she expected him to stay home? Or would she just notice all the missing things?

I’d throw out a line like “if there was ever a chance that I would give you the days or some of the days, it is now gone. You have created a hostile environment by shit talking me to coworkers and going over my head and I need the holiday just to recover from all of that”

100% true. Note that I was responding to someone who called it quick and fun, so the lack of choices seemed like a relevant point there.

Monopoly has one great rule (or lack of specificity), that it doesn’t put any restricting on when you are able to trade (doesn’t even say it has to be your turn!). This creates a great ten minutes or so when most of the properties are bought and people are making interesting deals with each other.

Everything else in the game is bad because there are very few interesting decisions to make. The dice tell you where you go and the space you land on tells you what to do. Strictly you “decide” whether or not to buy an available property if you land on it, but it’s virtually always a good idea. In the rare auction case you can decide your bid. You can decide which order you mortgage off your properties if you are out of money. I think one of the chance/CC cards has a choice on it? Even buying houses is kind of dull since you have to build them evenly across the block.

Apparently this is the storyline of some book series so presumably fake. If not though, what are these lives??

Definitely some projection going on here, Decker is suffering for the sins of her father.

Decker remembers her to have told her to her face “You’re not real family”

Even if you don’t see this girl as your niece, she is still your cousin’s daughter. Like she is absolutely family by any definition.

The only acceptable internal handling is convincing the boys to stay with them and maybe getting some clean evidence for police. As the commenter said, child abuse is a crime and should be handled as such

Muscles could just be opening and closing the valve I guess?

I think the point is that the bladder is above where the pee comes out so gravity could be pulling it out of the body. Aiming upwards wouldn’t change this relationship because the pee is outside the body at that point. By being upside down the bladder is now below where the pee comes out and gravity would be keeping it in. By being able to pee upside down, he demonstrates that gravity is not a necessary component.

I think it can be demonstrated by aiming upwards with some extra pressure though. If gravity were the only thing pulling pee out, i wouldn’t be able to shoot over someone’s head for instance as the pee wouldn’t have enough kinetic energy. Thus gravity is not the only component.

Can you register with both parties? Choose the best candidate for your party in your primary and the worst viable candidate for the other one?

Was hoping the repost came with a new update, but alas.

I guess Tom and Sophie were wrong about being half siblings… Cause they’re three-quarter siblings

It’s got to be spontaneous, and I want my partner to enjoy it too

As I understand it, ENM requires a shit ton of planning!

Shadows of Doubt

An alternate universe corpo city filled with generated crimes to solve. You get a case board, scan for fingerprints/footprints, talk to witnesses, look up sales records, check out cctv cameras among loads of other stuff. All of it is happening live in the city - everyone has schedules, an apartment, a workplace, an inventory, an email account, a blood type, a shoe size… - so that murder/kidnapping/robbery literally happened in the game while you were crawling through vents looking for an envelope with sensitive documents that someone asked you to steal. Just yesterday I got to a crime scene super quickly and caught a murderer leaving the scene of the crime with the murder weapon on their person. There are deus ex style body augmentations too.

One of my favourite cases was a woman who got murdered. I had the husband pegged for it but couldn’t pin it on him. His fingerprints were all over the place and he was on the cctv but they lived together so that wasn’t really evidence. The case went cold. A couple of days later the HUSBAND is murdered and I’m stumped. Just go looking for anything related to the guy and hope I stumble across something useful by accident. So eventually I break into the husband’s boss’ apartment and find a bouquet of flowers with a note for the boss from the husband. It turns out the husband is having a secret gay affair with his boss. The boss kills the wife so he can be with the husband. Husband doesn’t want to be with a murderer I guess so the boss kills him too!

It’s occasionally a little buggy still. I was supposed to follow someone, take a photo of a briefcase handoff, follow the recipient and get the briefcase back and have done this type of case before. Yesterday though the handoff never happened and I waited with the original owner for a few in game hours. My guess is the recipient is dead or was someone I knocked out earlier while I was solving another case and I messed up their schedule.

I’m generally not on board with naming children after other people to honour them (great way to set terrible expectations for the kid) or carry a legacy (that’s what surnames are for) or for tradition (traditions should never be carried on purely for their own sake). Nine generations of pressure though, that’s a whole new level of scummy!

100% wife can wear what she wants. I am not interested in showing my anus to my work friends nor seeing theirs and I think it’s weird that wife feels differently about that apparently.

she won’t stop with the insecure and controlling bs that she’s accusing me of.

Doubt OOP has acknowledged that wife is correct about this could go a long way. It is absolutely insecurity and control, but some amount of that is fine in a relationship if you’re on the same page.

3 years old, suspended OOP account, doubt we’ll learn how it turns out 😭
