    The Gloomhaven Reddit has an excellent write up on every starting class. You may not agree with every decision they make, but it definitely helps you get your feet in the water until you can start making your own decisions based upon your playstyle.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I like you bro, we've had a lot of good discussions over the years, but you're making way too many assumptions here. She has always been number one. Always. Side action is side action. Furthermore, the open relationship was her idea. Due to the childhood I had, she wanted me to form more...

    Car ?'s

    Not so much a question, but a brag. I have a 2004 Dodge Ram with 189k miles on it. A couple weeks ago, the rear axle started just roaring, I figured the differential probably went out on it. Brought it to my local shop, they call me back and say "Yep, pinion bearing broken. We're gonna order...

    Vasectomy Inc

    I still get pain from time to time, but I can say without a doubt I'd do it again. My orgasms have changed now, almost to be like a second peak midway thru. Sex is easily twice as good now. Totally worth all the hell I went thru at the beginning.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    To be fair, I was tricked. She moved in with me pretty quickly, and didn't bring a lot. It wasn't until her mom sold her townhouse that she called and said "Hey, are you gonna come get all the shit out of your room?" That was when I first gazed into the abyss, and the abyss gazed back.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    The kids preceded it. And as it turns out, it works out fine with ground rules. It does not work out fine when one party is completely inappropriate with their emotional attachment. We call this party "Women." However, uhh, yeah, open relationships are shit. Every single one I know of has...

    It's entirely possible. I do have a bit of a homewrecker streak. They know what they're signing up for, though!

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    In addition to all of that, thanks to all of you, for helping to strengthen my resolve. I love her, but yes, she's a pretty shitty person. The love part and the archtypical male in me say "it's okay if you fuck up, I'll take care of you." Obviously there need to be limits to that. I won't...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    It does sound like that! Unforunately Love and Like can be 2 completely seperate concepts and are not required to overlap. This is basically it. She has so far been very conciliatory on wanting to make sure everything is fair and equal. I just let her know that me losing the house would...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Exactly! I'm doing the right thing! I'm gonna walk out of this with joint custody of my kids, a 2500 sq foot house that's basically empty (and I've already got some leads on renting out some space to help with the house payment), almost an acre on a pond, and I get to continue living my life...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Well, I'm as reasonably certain as I can be about it. I often came home early at irregular times. If she has been cheating for years, she got really goddamned lucky with me coming home at random times between midnight and 3 a couple of random days a week. I don't buy it, nobody gets that...

    It sure appears that way, doesn't it? Take it from me, a guy who thought the rules didn't apply to his wife - she's not yours, it's just your turn. They're all the fucking same.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I worked overnights for 20 years. My wife stated years ago that if she had known what it was like being with a guy who worked overnights, she never would have married me. That weighed heavily on me for many years. She doesn't remember this. As soon as my kids were all finally old enough to go...

    18.5 years. I get the house, she takes the debt. Joint custody of the kids. Why am I still sad about this arrangement?

    Retail Apocalypse aka The E-Commerce Thread

    It's also because every fucking retailer you go to now has a rewards program and every single fucking person out there feels they need to sign up for every one of them, but can't remember which phone number they used to sign up for it, so every transaction ends up taking 3 minutes longer while...

    I know that's a joke, but I highly doubt it's 15%. 2-3% maybe, but considering the size of sperm cells, the contribution from the testicles is absolutely dwarfed by the contribution from the seminal vesicle. Varies day by day, but there's essentially no difference before and after.

    You're saying all of this from the perspective of a guy who gets what he needs though. Remove your steady piece from the equation and you may find things changing fairly quickly once you come to the realization that it's your hand or nothing in your scenario. In that case, the random encounter...

    Blood Bowl 2

    Well, dice ARE dice. The game RNG is better than dice. Dice are biased towards certain sides much more than the game is. Maybe your problem is literally the dice? I dunno. It's also possible you're not doing anything wrong except playing Norse, where the low armor can create real streaks that...

    Doesn't sound like me. I still have my teams, don't think I played DE in either season, although I don't remember what I played after the orcs. I can check when I get home.

    Smartphones

    G5 plus is a great phone. No notification light is dumb, but it supposedly flashes the screen every so often to let you know you have something. It also responds well to you picking it up and taking it out of your pocket or something, where it will briefly illuminate the screen to let you...

    Oh, I get that, but I have a 5x, not a 6p. And my wife has a 5x, and my buddy with a 5x, we have all had ours replaced (mine twice) with another 5x. And I've moved on from Fi anyway to shittier service, but hey, at least my phone doesn't bootloop on me every time I go to the amusement park or...

    I had a 5x, but between my wife and I, we needed 3 replacements in 4 months. Moved on until Google gets their fucking shit together. I am also not interested in the slightest in paying $800 for a phone.

    My wife didn't want to be center of attention. Wedding consisted of me and her, my roommate, her mom and her sister. Total cost for us was under $100 since we just bought silver bands since she can't wear jewelry due to allergies and I can't for work. 18 years.

    My kid started a new account last week. Between that one and my alt we pulled 10 times yesterday. Fucking garbage, every single roll. When the best thing you get is a pair of Sherias, there's no point in rolling anymore. 30kmp I guess though.

    All of mine have been replaced free of charge from Google with Refurbs. I have Fi, though. They will sit on my desk as backups. They're not worth carrying around anymore.

    It's significantly easier. There weren't any real challenge type encounters in there..nothing where you need X trick or you're gonna fail. No heavy binds, only one real board change. If you burst on Sevenzard and bring a delay for the last floor, you're probably fine. I've already finished it...

    Doesn't surprise me at all, as it's something you would learn from your parents behavior. My dad was the only one working until we kids were in high school, my mom never worked a day. My mom handled the finances, and they paid off their house in 18 years, with no real particular hardship along...

    You're not wrong, and I won't disagree with you. But, money isn't everything. We'll make more. It's always a more complicated issue when you're in it. It's easy to look at everyone's life from the outside and see what the correct answer is. It is unfortunately far less easy to do when you're...
