A Wizard of Goatse posted:the fact that Blade happens to be a daywalker doesn't mean the world doesn't need vampire hunters One time when I was maybe a bit high I saw this guy walking into a convenience store with a bike helmet on and I invented an elaborate backstory where his mother had been bitten by a cyclist while he was still in the womb, blade-style, and i pointed at him and yelled “helmetwalker” and then immediately turned and left the store. I never did see a bicycle so I assume my backstory was correct

sullat posted:How marital property is divided is complicated and depends from state to state, but yeah, hiding assets is generally a big no-no. In states where stuff you owned before a marriage stays yours after a marriage, usually the key to this is to not sell it or otherwise realize the potential income. Like if you own a share of stock and sell it during the marriage the income from that sale is joint property but you could have just not it and owned the share of stock yourself after a divorce. If you have a big wad of cash earning interest you can set up systems that sweep that interest into another account so your original cash pile doesn’t mix with the interest income it generated. So a transaction to another account is probably gonna look like a sale to a judge. If he gave like 5 bitcoins to a friend as a “gift” then ok maybe but you gotta pay federal taxes on gifts over some limit like $12k/year (might be higher now but not 5 bitcoins high) so enjoy your ex wife reporting you to the irs.

I definitely found it had a hurdle that could be discouraging right when you first leave the plateau, you have no real weapons and die pretty easily, even if there really aren’t any consequences to dying repeatedly. That said if you can plug away away at it for a solid ~8 hours it gets really fun later, when you aren’t dying all the time and you can actually move around the map a bit.

I knew it was an extremely bad move and i didn’t even need any other punishment than my mom coming back in the room while i was mid piss and saying “what the HELL are you doing??” but I remember he had to replace the guitar and I felt really lovely about it and I have only pissed in piss-appropriate places since!* And i still remember this at age 40 today.

cumshitter posted:This is insane. I don't even work at a large company and when our HR person called the coffee supply people to ask how much they were charging they freaked out and thought we were shopping around, so they gave us a free keurig and started sending us cups for no additional charge. Charging your employees for coffee is absolute horse poo poo, you want them to drink coffee and be more productive. At my last job a dude sent a company site wide email demonstrating, with an extremely back of the envelope calculation, that the company was paying more for an employee making $65k/year to walk to to the cafe on the north side of the site to get the free coffee vs. installing coffee machines in each floor’s break room. We had the same coffee machines in the break rooms next week. I mostly think this was because they wanted to back up his calculations based on the average employee making $65k/year (that dude was waaaaaaaay underpaid if that is what he made).

The real end of the HOA story is that the sister of the war veteran (i assume it is she who owns the house) will get foreclosed on by the HOA unless they bring it into compliance because her idiot contractor neighbor didn’t read the architectural guidelines of the HOA he apparently also lives in. Yelling at the meeting does nothing unless you bring your neighbors around to changing the rules (and angry yelling won’t do that). It sucks but they literally both signed up for those rules by moving there, so tough poo poo. ADA compliance is great and necessary, but not sufficient, for HOA architectural compliance, read the rules before you start building.

I get it, it’s a pain and neighbors are stupid idiots. Recently, when installing solar panels on his roof, a friend of mine had to answer a question about whether the solar panels he was installing would be yellow because they were highlighted in yellow in a line drawing, with a key saying “highlighted in yellow to note changes in drawing” or something similar. He had to tell them that no they’ll be gray and they should look at the photos of the panels, not the line drawing. These people are all idiots but you live next to them and you all signed up to live in this same hell together so your complaints are useless.

TK8325 posted:I don't get HOAs. What can they even do? Evict you from your own home? Like, just ignore them. They can fine you, and if you don’t pay the fine, they can foreclose on your house and force you to sell it. Read the terms, and if you don’t want to sign up for it, don’t buy a house with an HOA. If you have one, it is because you opted in to it. It’s really that simple.

Yeah, the HOA can dissolve the HOA if it wants. It’s usually a pretty low bar, like 60-65%, more than a majority but literally everyone. It still almost never happens unless there is someone wanting to buy the whole neighborhood or complex to redevelop it, and they raise the price high enough that 65% of the owners decide to vote to sell.

DreadUnknown posted:I feel in my bones that a manacured lawn is a sure sign of a deeply troubled mind. Lawn having in general is a sign of mental illness. Even more insane than the HOA drama here: a story about city code enforcement. This guy in south Austin recently had code enforcement show up with a warrant to mow his lawn (this is a real thing they do, mostly to prevent snakes and other possibly hazardous wildlife from overrunning a lawn, to keep vegetation away from power lines, etc) and when they started mowing, which they had already done several times in the past at his house, he opened fire on them and they called the police and it ended up in a swat standoff where he set fire to the house and eventually got killed by swat. https://www.kxan.com/news/local/austin/man-shot-by-police-in-southwest-austin-swat-standoff-last-week-identified/ Google maps (it looks a little ragged here but not “call the city” put of control, I have no idea if it was worse when they started mowing):  Now:  Don’t have a lawn, folks. If the HOA doesn’t make you maintain the lawn, the city lawn mowing team will. No lawns ever.

But one of the little bars from somewhere in Europe tasted like loving ham. It's really disconcerting to bite into what you think is chocolate, only to taste pork. Chocolate bars with bacon in were all over the place a few years ago.

theflyingexecutive posted:At face value, if the brother was well-off enough to not need the <$20k (after lawyers fees and liquidation and everything), yes it's hosed up to send someone, even if they were mean to you, to the charnel house that is an American prison and get their house foreclosed. If he has already moved way out of town and gone NC, it's inevitably going to be more emotionally damaging to drag up all these emotions surrounding his dead mother while simultaneously sending his own sister to jail over a few thousand dollars. I tend to agree, if they had a good relationship, but it’s the consequences of her own actions. She poisoned the relationship so I don’t see how she could expect them to be friendly to her now. Don’t steal from people and expect it to work out for you.

OhAreThey posted:I think it's weird that some people are like "a 21 year old virgin?? What a creep!" but think a 14 year old having sex is A-OK! Adults who gently caress teenagers are weird, but teenagers wanting to gently caress each other is extremely normal, and not being able to seal the deal with at least one other teenager before you turn 20 is a red flag. It’s not a big deal in the long run, but it definitely puts you in the “latest bloomer” quintile, where most other people will have experience with this life step and the emotional experience that comes with it and you won’t.

Google says the average age for someone in the us to have sex for the first time is 17. So that’s like half of them, before college age, loving in the back of the car or behind the weed smoking tree in the woods or climbing up onto balconies and thru bedroom windows or whatever teens do. Hormones makes you sex crazed and makes you reckless 🤷🏼♂️

Walh Hara posted:What the heck are you talking about? I really don't understand how anyone could believe this? It reads to me that you only know or talk to people in a very specific cultural niche that are all very similar. Numbers don’t lie? If the average age is 17 then you are really really on the tail end by the time you are 20-21, like last 5% or something. If you are the last virgin anyone knows people are gonna worry about it, like, that’s exactly what happened in the post where she’s worried the experience might be too much for him, or that he might not know what he is getting into. The older you get missing out on an experience everyone else has had the more people are gonna wonder if something is wrong.

W.r.t. determining whether it's a red flag you need to know way more about somebody his/her culture and circumstances before you can apply such a ridiculous broad brush. Boom, 90% laid before 22.  So I repeat, if you haven’t had sex at 21, you are an outlier. If you are 25-30 there’s something wrong, and people will wonder what.
