MF_James posted:I used to go to the strip club like 2-3 times a month on tuesdays because they had $1 beers and 1$ burgers, the burgers were actually good, never once did I give money to a stripper for dances or anything, and my friend was friends with a few of them so we hung out a bit. Strippers are generally crazy. some strip clubs are unironically good choices as dining establishments due to treating food as a bit of a loss leader, and I feel that is something that should be acknowledged by more people in this thread

ArbitraryC posted:You'd be surprised at how hard it is to dumb your decks down enough to give people who are bad at magic a fighting chance. In highschool I had a friends circle where we all played competative magic, went to tournaments and such. I also had other friends I hung out with that liked magic but were incredibly casual about it, nothing wrong with that of course but even when I put together some of the dumbest theme decks (we're talking using giant spider and such) they would make such flagrantly bad tactical decisions that you'd still win the vast majority of the time. Well and you also have the issue that if/when he starts tweaking that draft/sealed deck a bit it's going to very rapidly become tournament-esque enough to be brutal on the sort of casual player you're describing. And while teaching people to play and enjoy the game is fun I can definitely see how constantly being in teaching mode or playing with severe handicaps would get old. However there are still usually ways of enjoying the game with others that he's not considering- i.e. if Standard is his thing he probably just shouldn't play that with his girlfriend and his other friends and should instead look into playing limited with them (especially a cube), or acquire/put together sets of well-matched decks from formats he doesn't focus on as much. e: Cough Drop The Beat posted:It sounds like he's intentionally curbstomping his girlfriend with strong decks and spending forever on turns to calculate perfect lethal damage or how to draw his combos optimally or whatever when he says he can't play without going all out. His friends and girlfriend are probably sitting back with a beer having a nice night while he's sperging out on the rules and discussing perfect strategies for the deck he's playing. So yes, it sounds exactly like you're expecting him to play badly for their benefit. Which really isn't fair to him at all- he's spent a lot of time mastering the appropriate skills and it's pretty absurd to expect him to play badly and enjoy himself. Fighting games are probably a good example- it's good sportsmanship for the stronger player to pick a weaker character, but getting mad when they make proper use of the game mechanics and win anyway is just caddish on the part of the weaker player. I also think you're reading stuff into his behavior that isn't there- it really doesn't sound like he's taking pleasure in unfairly stomping his girlfriend and friends, it's just that the skill gap is making it hard to have an enjoyable experience for both parties.

maskenfreiheit posted:doesn't a glock also have long trigger pull because of that, similar to a DA revolver that's not been cocked? Could always go with a CZ P-01, it's basically an aluminum framed 75 compact that's dimensionally similar to a G19 and consequently a plausible carry option that's still fun at the range (and has a fun/dumb gimmick of coming with a NATO serial number). Also no frame safety normally since it's a DA/SA pistol with a decocker. It's genuinely pretty hard to beat a Glock from a pure utility standpoint though.

Barudak posted:If the two people and families are pretty or even just mildly involved in church it can be a surprisingly big issue. For instance, who officiates the wedding, do the children get baptized as infants, and is loving a thing married couples can do for fun or is it a sinful act suffered through only for procreation with resignation in the hopes that god can absolve you of your debased nature. There shouldn't be anything complicated about the necessity of reuniting with the Holy Mother Church.

Cough Drop The Beat posted:Couldn't her husband have a small-scale Magic cards eBay business where he spends maybe 20 hours a week after work/on weekends???? It's like not like he has a card shop. He's just running some hyper obsessive website... Yes. The one guy I know who did that ran his website as a side business apart from his regular job as an engineer. He made ok supplemental income and the time commitment wasn't exactly overwhelming- he eventually sold his inventory and inventory system to a well-established card shop when he needed to work overseas for a protracted period. With the #mtgfinance nonsense it's maybe a little more involved now, but not to the extent that it would preclude you from holding down another job.

ArbitraryC posted:yeah the SIL should be taking care of her own kid I just don't really see why they'd literally want to go to disneyland with the kids grandparents and not bring the 8 year old, you'd think the grandparents would enjoy doing something memorable with their grandkid too. I mean Disney World is a weird choice of vacation location to me in general, but if you swap in basically any other location it should be pretty obvious why someone might want an opportunity to spend some quality time with their parents without having to look after/pay for/schedule things around their unruly/emotionally disturbed niece, especially since (by implication) it looks like the sister in law and niece live with/very near the grandparents and the grandparents see quite a bit of their granddaughter already. Taking an 8 year old with a bad parent to Disney World is objectively a nice thing to do (and it would have been cool if they were inclined to take the kid in the first place or receptive to the suggestion that she come- I think it would be worth taking a step back and examining how they feel about her inclusion absent the social dynamics with the SIL), but the sister in law is being a poo poo and it's pretty clearly objectively unreasonable to let her impose her daughter on your pre-existing vacation plans as a fait accompli. This is pretty clearly something that they absolutely shouldn't be giving in on from a relationship boundary perspective, and while I think they're missing an opportunity, its also pretty clearly not anything that comes close to shirking their basic obligation to look after their niece's welfare. That said I don't think there's a good answer for "keeping the peace" if you do maintain that boundary, since the problem is someone who is happy to make major impositions as tacit assumptions and weaponize her daughter/relationships/familial obligations.
