  • Honestly, she’s choosing (I’m assuming) to not have to work, get a free house to live in, and be set for the rest of her life after this dude dies. Those are the 2 biggest stressors in anyone’s life right now. I’d be a liar if I hadn’t thought about pursuing a cougar in my younger years for the same reasons. If she’s fine with it, and he’s not abusive, let her do her thing. Sure, it’s frowned upon, and she’ll be called a gold digger, etc. but that’s her cross to bear, and she seems fine with it.







  • I tried to be the good guy last year. I paid for Sunday ticket so I could watch all the games. Then the playoffs come, and they put a fucking playoff game on fucking Peacock that was exclusive to Peacock. NBC wouldn’t even air it on the local affiliate. The playoffs have always been on network TV to get maximum viewing, and now they put it behind a walled garden on the worst streaming service. Fuck them. I cancelled my Sunday Ticket and will never give them another dime. I know /knew how to pirate, but again, I was trying to follow the rules, and they fucked me. Now it’s back to the seven seas.








  • I agree to an extent, but while I’m not going to speak for everyone as my situation is unique, my role is as an individual contributor, and my role requires absolutely 0 teamwork. I have a set of tasks that need to be done by EOD, and so does the rest of my team. We don’t collaborate at all. When we were in office, the only benefit was we all sat together, so you could ask a team member for assistance if you got stuck on a unique issue.

    During Covid, they redid our office. There are no assigned seats anymore. So when they do ask us to come in, I work at a random desk by myself. It’s absolutely stupid. I’m wasting gas and time driving to the office just to make an appearance to stroke management’s ego so they can physically see me in person.
