oh god, don't start talking about paying for sex again, that's how I ate my last probation, and I'm not hungry for a new one. :worried: My longest dry spell was between 18 months and 2 years. And that seemed like for-loving-ever. For me, I think the reason and the problem was inside my head, and once I stopped looking for sex possibilities in every interaction and forgot about it... boom, it happened.

KakerMix posted:I'm all for ripping on Rhyno because it's fun, easy, and good for the soul, but I'll never understand statements like these. What exactly is marriage vs. being together? Darchangel posted:Basically, yes, it should be just a formality, but for whatever reason, having the relationship officialized/formalized in some way sometimes changes a person's perspective on it, not always for the better. It represents a commitment, now public and official, which just fucks some people up. It's all in the head, basically. I had a reply, but Darchangel said it better. It changes some people. My wife and I lived together for a couple years before getting married and nothing changed for us, but like iwentdoodie said, iwentdoodie posted:All marriage really does is cement the fact that there isn't an easy out, and encourages you to work poo poo out. Our marriage hasn't been perfect, and we've fought bad enough for long enough that separation and divorce became an option, but it's still worth it. I got your later point too, KakerMix, I was mostly harassing Rhyno for spouting marriage knowledge at us when the ink ain't even dried on his paperwork.

There's a difference between splitting it and hoarding every last penny for mine, mine, mine. The friend that gave it to him would be loving thrilled to have the guy that won toss him $5000 cash and the guy that won doesn't get hurt at all, and ends up looking super generous, and doesn't have people looking at him like he's an rear end. Edit: And telling you, then making you split the check is an enormous dick move. meatpimp fucked around with this message at 18:22 on Mar 10, 2018 |

Somewhat Heroic posted:That is an interesting case study. The giver is entitled to nothing but friendship. One person says give him 5000. Why that number? How do you settle for what is "agreeable"? quote:I once told my sister she owed me a very nice dinner. My reasoning was that as a single employed person it cost me $12K in one year for the privilege of being an American. She worked part time part of the year and quit her job. She was unmarried with two kids and was living with her babies daddy who supported them. Not only did she get a full refund of any and all taxes she paid but in addition was given $7K because she qualified as below the poverty level. So now you're arbiter of taxes? Even if your argument had any basis, she would owe YOU about 1/350,000,000 of that $7k, since it comes from the pot we all pay into. Yeah, there are times in ¨°º¤ø„¸¸„ø¤º°¨An American's ¨°º¤ø„¸¸„ø¤º°¨ life where you pay in more than you get out. There are also times when your life can be hit by a truck and you really need some support. I'd rather stray on the side of taking care of people and our American structure than hoarding what I feel is "mine," when really whatever you gain is through the collective structure that has been put in place by ¨°º¤ø„¸¸„ø¤º°¨TAXES¨°º¤ø„¸¸„ø¤º°¨ and the work of others to open up your space to achieve.

LloydDobler posted:You touched on this, but it's actually the LUCKY ONES where this is the case. If you need government assistance, or make so little that you don't pay taxes, your life is not going well at all. People need to think of at least some of their taxes like insurance. Do you go out and crash your car every few years to get 100% of your premiums back? I pay the taxes on fire and police so that they'll come if I need them. But I'll be ecstatic if I go through my life without that. Yeah, this is a good point. I'd MUCH rather pay more in taxes to support people who have particular needs taken care of, than to have them get desperate and start "doing what they had to do" to survive. Instead of playing the victim card, the realization of LUCKY is closer to the truth. Also, I lived in my first house, single, for 10 years. I paid thousands of dollars in property tax, mostly going to schools that I had no child attending. Should I bitch about that? I got absolutely no benefit for my contribution... oh wait, I did... property values were maintained because the area remained attractive to families, and education (in any form) creates a better environment. It's a big, collective pot we pay in to as a community, I hope I never have to take out of it more than I do now, but I'm glad that my taxes support that community.

The Avalon is trying to make me angry with it. All of a sudden it developed a huge shake at 65+. I had heard/felt some problems with the ball joint, so I ordered one. Went to install it this morning and it took me an hour to get the castle nut off. The original cotter pin broke in all the worst places and, after I got that drilled out, the bolt was so siezed that I was opening up both my Craftsman 3/4" and 19mm wrenches. Ended up cutting it off with a Dremel wheel, then the rest of the replacement was done in like 20 minutes. Took it for a test drive, and the shake was gone. But, the head shield was rubbing a bit, so I took the wheel off again to bend it back and found the rotor hotter than gently caress. And the caliper is absolutely seized (it was really hard to get off when I took it off this morning, so it probably had been developing, but I didn't notice it yet).

This thread is so binary and judgemental, both in politics and current events. In that Uber video, there is less than one second from the first frame you can see the pedestrian until impact. It happened in the dark shadows adjacent to a really strong street light. The pedestrian was wearing a dark top, that could have happened to anyone. To say "IR should have picked it up,  " is ignoring a lot of the circumstances -- where was the pedestrian right before the accident? If they had been laying on the ground, there could have been a minimal pattern due to the dark clothing being the same temperature as the surrounding area... and a "regular" driver drat sure isn't driving with IR optics, aggressively scouring every inch of the road for possible vagrants crossing the road at every instant...Liquid Communism posted:Yup. You can see the bike's reflectors as she crosses the other lane, if the driver had been paying any attention... Enourmo posted:This country's being carved up and sold to greedy corporate bastards by their fat cat conservative pals, meanwhile the "liberal" Major Party is a bunch of limp-dicked-do nothings who pay lip service to equality because "Guess what, this police death squad is super bae, because they're women!", and actual liberals can't get gently caress anything done because they're too busy tearing each other apart over purity tests and "More Woke Than Thou" dickwaving contests, and I You've come a long way.

IOwnCalculus posted:The only issue with the Uber footage is that the camera has balanced itself on the brightest part of the areas lit up with headlights. Your eyes are better than a dashcam when it comes to dealing with a wide range in brightness. It's easy to armchair QB this stuff, but there's got to be some realization that every situation is different, and we are not always as "ON" as we may like to think. Two years ago I hit a deer. It didn't materialize out of nowhere, it came from the woods on the left side of the road, along with up to half a dozen if its buddies. The first one fully cleared the car, I got the second one dead-nuts on. I was driving my family, I was not being inattentive, but it was dark and I somehow missed this group of animals running across my path. If I had a dash cam, you'd probably be able to see them before I hit the brakes in real life. However, I didn't see them until it was too late. What I'm saying is that there are always going to be circumstances that you can explain away later, but we are fallible, and there are always going to be accidents... robot drivers or human drivers.

epic bird guy posted:Yeah on one hand if we are going to accept robotic cars, we have to understand that they will kill some people some times. Safer? Maybe. Completely harmless? Not a chance. The question is who is responsible when harm is done. In this case a prototype owned by Uber is completely their responsibility imo. I think people are conflating their hatred of Uber with the situation. I agree, Uber is fully responsible. So what? If it was a human driving, they would not even be cited for killing a pedestrian like that. The person shouldn't have been in the middle of the road, at night, wearing dark clothes. The driver would probably be grief-struck, but there wouldn't be a legal or monetary penalty.

I see one second from the moment of illumination to the moment of impact, it all happens at 2:19 on the linked video. This brings up so many of the questions that have been in the ether about "what if" regarding autonomous vehicles. And it's not as if these are abstract hypotheticals, they are things that WILL happen, we just have to develop the mechanism to deal with them when they do happen. meatpimp fucked around with this message at 19:22 on Mar 22, 2018 |
