Between travel (gas, vehicle, chains, racks, etc), equipment, clothes, and passes snow sports have pretty much always been expensive as gently caress unless you're basically a townie and live at the bottom of the slope and get all the local discounts. Yeah, you used to be able to go up and ride halfway decent resorts for 20-40 bucks and now the same spots are all literally $110-160 for a single day, but you still had to have all the other poo poo. It sucks because snow sports are fun as hell but also price out a bunch of people who otherwise might love them.

I mean maybe it's just a Scandi thing, but you can very much still find smaller resorts where the lift pass is like $20-30, and equipment hire cost like another $30 a day?

Our public school used to do ski trips one or two times a year. The school paid for the three-hour buss ride, and the families paid for everything else, and it was like $30-40 if you didn't have your own skis. Everyone had a packed lunch and snacks.

Yeah definitely not the same in the US, at least California. Even season passes aren't a deal - just looked at pricing for a few spots in Tahoe and unrestricted adult season passes are going between $1-1.7k. Absolutely brutal.

TBH I think "being the skiing capitol of the country" makes that specific metric WORSE, not that I think other parts of the country are anywhere near scandinavia tier, because you become "the place where the rest of the country flies for a ski vacation."

kind of this, but generally if a place has enough mountains and enough snow then you get some chill local spots that are like, 1-3 chairs and a couple rope tows where you can go gently caress around on the cheap, and if you want better lines you can go hike for your turns or randonee. Then again the latter demands some skill and know-how, and again, if you're having to get all the gear and do all the travel and everything else to do so it takes some cash and effort.

Talking about your partner's sex life with friends without their consent is instant acid vat

If you’re just gossiping with whoever then sure, but if you’re talking about relationship stuff with a close friend/confidant?? As long as it isn’t the kind of close friend who immediately blabs all your poo poo to everyone I think it’s fine; people should be able to have outlets for that sort of thing.

If anyone told me "my wife is a lousy gently caress" I'd not want them to talk to me ever again.

K?

Would you cut them out if they wanted to talk about other deeply personal relationship issues they were having with their wife? “Yeah it’s been hard lately, I feel like a lot of the trust in our marriage isn’t there any more and it’s a real struggle” “Sorry bro, I told you. Blocked”

Of course this all assumes a friendship that’s deep enough that you can talk about difficult things with the person, but given that why would sex be off-limits? Seems kind of prudish to me. And sure, these are things you should talk with your actual partner about but a lot of the time talking about it with someone else first makes that conversation a lot easier. Except only with your therapist if it’s about sex I guess, anyone else is apparently a terrible breach of trust.

Like no poo poo, if you walk into the bar and you yell out, “Hey bros, my girlfriend gives the worst head I’ve had in my life” you’re an rear end in a top hat. That’s a little different than “We’ve been friends for 15 years, I need to talk about some stuff that’s been on my mind, is that cool?” though. I’m not really talking about the original post, I’m responding to posts like yours that are basically “Sex talk?! Acid vat.”

She’s not looking to spoil a beloved niece, she’s looking for a replacement kid so she can pretend to be a normal mom. Again, it isn’t a kid’s job to be therapy for someone’s messed up life. And when the kid’s actual mom is like “yeah no I’m not letting that family member near my kid unsupervised” maybe that’s not a person you want to go have Mother’s Day tea with anyways

That's really confusing, but I guess mainly because the OP intentionally described the situation poorly in the first post?

It sounds close to embezzlement but I guess if the company provides a fixed amount that's supposed to cover the estimated amount for transportation and other expenses, rather than reimbursing the actual amount, maybe it's not actually?

It’s maybe technically not quite fraud but I’m pretty sure that if I pulled the same kind of thing (directly using company funds on a non-approved, cheaper service when a company-approved service was available) in any of my professional workplaces I’d have been walked out the door the day after, let alone doing any of the other stuff he did.
