I'm going to start doing this to tables with people I don't know at all. Excuse me? Yeah I was watching from across the room and your waiter spilled soda on you. What you're leaving is too much of a tip. I'll just take half...

Bored posted:…the hell??? What? Of course the last name is located on the Y chromosome, that's why men always keep their last name. Love the idea he has that the Y chromosome this last name belongs to has been passed down since the dawn of time. At some point in the past, someone who may or may not have been his distant ancestor was like "Okay, we got two Johns here, so I'm gonna call myself John Smith because I'm a smith and he's gonna be John Miller because he's a miller.". Truly a glorious history.

Yea, she's my older sister. I don't interact with her much, maybe seen her half a dozen times in the last 20 years and all those times were at family things. All her life updates I get from her husband my younger sister.

the holy poopacy posted:It's still a competitive field. Wagner productions are relatively rare because they're huge undertakings and the number of roles dwarfs the (still small) number of people that can theoretically fill them, let alone the people that really really wish they could fill them. And because it's a unique and demanding skillset the people that train for it and don't make it aren't necessarily going to do any better at other opera; if someone constantly trains for marathons but isn't able to hack it competitively, that doesn't mean they could just go be successful sprinters. Those couple articles were kinda talking out their asses, sorry. Wagner’s works are uniquely challenging to perform due to their length (Tristan und Isolde in particular has a reputation for killing its male lead), and yes there are people who choose to specialise, but ultimately involve all the same techniques (just a lot more of them) and those capable of performing his lead roles are more than capable of performing other works and usually have the career history to prove it. Of course none of this applies to the woman in the story, who is apparently just rocking up to somewhere in Germany with no work visa every few years to do… something? It’s not clear that she’s ever even taken singing lessons. I’m assuming this is a bizarre cover story for a long-running affair, because it makes very little sense otherwise.

captainOrbital posted:Or maybe they're so self-involved that they just assume everyone should be on their side no matter what the details are. Pretty much, yeah. Creative writing exercises aside, I feel online posting about their own fuckups attracts particular flavours of narcissists who aren't creative enough and/or have such little opinion of or regard for other people's reactions that aren't unconditional praise that they don't even see a point to lying. Pope Corky the IX posted:I mean, there are those people starting college that think they can pick up right where they left off in their senior year in high school and get really upset when everyone just ignores them. I think there's been a few mentions itt or previous ones of amusing cases where people find that behaviour that was tolerated or lauded in high school gets them at best everyone avoiding eye contact when they're now legal adults.

Nuebot posted:It's not like a vacation, but he still gets to be away from his family for a while and has had that for much of their time together, while it sounds like she hasn't. And, specifically, he's refusing to let her go anywhere for more than a week. My wife always talks about this but can’t bring herself to be away from our kids that long (she also traveled for work while I was home with the kiddos for years and we’ve always been dual income so a little different). So it’s usually a week or long weekends. I think solo travel/hobbies/independence is important. If she has the money and time and coordinated this 20-30 days goes by pretty drat fast. Dude should back off unless he wants to build resentment, having to be at home with the kids while your partner is traveling sucks and that time should be repaid however the person who had to stay behind wants. This piece is telling I think: quote:My problem is a mother shouldn’t be away from her kids and husband for 20 days. Bet he wouldn’t say that about a dad and his kids and wife

Huh, good to know. I suppose in retrospect I should not have taken a struggling opera singer writing their explanations of why they weren't able to land roles at face value.

Midnight Voyager posted:I know there are notaries that might get in trouble for that, but I always think about the notary who notarized transfer of ownership of the "rocket belt (jetpack) which was signed at gunpoint. And who didn't get fired over it somehow. Yeah, that's fine, just notarize that, it's probably legit despite the gun... you don't really get fired from being a notary. If you're 18 years old and never been convicted of a crime in most states you just write to the government with an application fee and you're now a notary. Its not really something you can make a living off of because banks offer the service for free now and notary services are offered by the minimum wage tellers because its so easy to get, so the only niche is serving people who can't get to the bank during business hours and people who do that are almost always self-employed. Theres no big NOTARY CORP really.

My favorite notary was a cashier in the local BDSM shop The first time I needed something notarized, I Googled the nearest notary, and be directed to a basement shop called "Chained Desires". While you waited for the notary to do their thing, you could check out their line of ping-pong paddles covered in fur (there were thumbtacks hidden in the fur) .

For telling my wife it’s time for her to get a job?quote:I’ll try and keep this as short as possible. Married with two kids 17 and 8. My wife’s excuse is she has to watch the take the kids too and from school. I have been holding down all the bills and mortgage. The thing is money is starting to get tight because inflation and what not. Every time I tell him wife I could use help with her finding even the simplest job she throws a tantrum. We both have college degrees and I’m in my own masters program right. I need to bring the subject of her finding a job again. How can I do this so she does not throw a tantrum? We’re happy and I rather not get a divorce over it. Also thinking of taking on a second job and gave her reaction on that. then reddit checks his post history, so he edits the post to add: quote:Ok, I take responsibility for buy a new Tesla and liking expensive shoes. It dose not solve the problem that two incomes are better than more.

At this point I'm finding it easier to accept the likelihood that your sister is simply lying about major details about the situation. This is common with things that are difficult to verify and corroborate. Who knows why she's even in Germany in the first place! That she doesn't want her husband there is pretty sus. And speaking of husband, I really wonder what's in all this for him exactly, she doesn't sound like a pleasant person to be around. Because the fibromyalgia bit reminds me of how Walter White claimed to be a gambling addict to explain how he had so much money.
