Pick posted:Yeah, that seems very questionable to me. If nothing else, you break it up between banks. No financial adviser would ever allow you to keep it in savings like that. If nothing else, you'd go into low-risk stock like utilities. I imagine a bunch of the commenters yelled at him over this too because he mentioned seeing a financial advisor at the end

Karla Homolka and John Bernardo discover Tinder. quote:I met a girl on tinder and had her over. My GF was there, she is ok with me having casual sex with other girls. I suggested threesome/her watching my girlfriend and I have sex. She wanted to "make up her mind", so the three of us hung out for a while and drank. I started making out with her/touching her, and she didn't resist. I carried her back to the bed, took her clothes off, she's still not resisting. She says "why don't you get naked too". I do. I had previously asked her if she likes choking and she said she did. I tell her to grab my dick and she says "no". quote:Second question: My GF is also concerned she is somehow implicated. She is trying to get into medical school and any legal problems could be bad for her. Is this a valid fear?

The industry keeps pretending to die so young engineers leave, then five years later there's a relative boom so they pay the old guys huge money to delay retirement. Your right that he'd probably be in some managerial role at this point, but it would still say engineer on his business cards.

playing consent games with people you just met off tinder is a loving minefield of idiotic decisions years ago when i had the worst roommate i ever had in my life, he brought home some chick he met in a bar who demanded he rape and choke her and then called him a pussy human being when he couldn't carry through. it was the one time i felt sorry for that dork

If you're writing for a wide audience, what is most likely to connect with the majority of them? Wiggle-stick or whatever, or a clever Foucault's Pendulum reference? This is also why people make more football analogies than lacrosse ones.

Themata posted:Trouble is brewing at Hogwarts: They're both being bad. She's not relying on herself, and he's being willfully obtuse in order to expose her weakness, rather than work together. I had to laugh when she said "what's the code, you gave me a lot of stuff to remember last time," he says,"there's a book you can look it up in," then she says "you didn't mention anything about a book last time." So she's simultaneously overwhelmed with stuff to remember AND calls him out for not giving her MORE STUFF to remember. It's a trick pulled by people who want to use their brain as little as possible.

Most recently, I have paid for his out-of-network doctor's visits (getting suboxone is difficult with his health insurance) and took him shopping several times to put together a business casual wardrobe for said new job. Yesterday was my birthday. We had tentative plans to go to the beach and then go out to eat afterwards. We were not going to do anything extravagant because he had to get up early for work the next morning. Oh honey...

Need advice on a sketchy situation. quote:I have been seeing this guy for 4 months. We spend pretty much every day together and have for these months. We act like we're dating.

I [20F] found a sock belonging to my ex-something [22M] of one year while unpacking moving boxes. It's a nice sock. Should I return it? quote:I borrowed it from him because I misplaced a sock at his place when I stayed over at his house last winter, and he was pretty clear about wanting it back at the time.

I actually enjoy quite a few of your posts but the devil's advocate thing is getting tiresome. You do it, then someone reacts or overreacts and accuses you of choosing the wrong side, then a pointless argument ensues for several pages.

The most offensive thing, for me, in this entire thread, is that someone has 1 million+ just sitting in their savings account and not being invested <missing sock thing> This was my favorite "title only" post. I love that someone can't decide what to do with a sock without groupthink. Mirthless nailed it with his "gotta find an excuse to see her" analysis, any normal person would just throw the sock away or mail it. Funny that the poster obv knows what she's doing, but think that reddit saying it's okay will make it okay. I guess that's kind of a thread theme Drunk Nerds fucked around with this message at 00:38 on Feb 4, 2017 |

54 40 or gently caress posted:I'm really glad I'm not the only one that was skeeved by that. Wouldn't they be one use for a reason? Yeah, in my admittedly limited experience in medical-device manufacturing, stuff that's one-use is not going to be manufactured to specifications for reuse, because there's no reason for it to be and increasing durability only increases the chance people will reuse it improperly. Stuff that can survive sterilization still isn't going to be in the same shape as new material. I suppose there might be a few one-use items that could be re-sterilized and recycled, but even then, it shouldn't be used in a clinical environment, which it sounds like this company sells to. eeeeurgh
