And, no other airline will ever sell you a ticket for life. You're stuck with just this airline, in economy, and next to the crying baby who needs a diaper change.
I think the best thing to do would be to involve an aunt, but what is a single father supposed to do if there isn't a female authority figure available?
I've literally seen entrepreneurs haggling over as little as 2% - for example, if a shark is willing to offer 400k for 10%, the entrepreneurs ask for 400k for 8% or 500k for 10%. I mean, geez, do you even want to have a shark on your team or not? I totally support the shark whenever he or she pulls out of a deal where the entrepreneur can't make a decision to give 2% extra, because if the entrepreneur valued the presence of a shark backing their business, they wouldn't think twice about this. I question the true intentions of an entrepreneur who comes into the tank and rejects a deal over a 2% additional equity. And moreover, the shark is going to lose a lot of equity to dilution as the entrepreneur issues more shares - so I don't see how the entrepreneurs believe they're acting fairly.
First offer: $100k for 10% equity - your expected valuation was close to 1.5 million, but they're still offering 1 million, which isn't bad in your book.
Second offer: They offer $100k for 25% equity, but the deal includes an ironclad, permanent buyback clause for $250k. Basically, whenever you have the ability to write a check for $250k, you can take your 25% back and ask the investor to hit the road.
Which one would you take and why?
She says, "It's bad for a boy to know that his mother thinks he's weak. That's a lifetime of paying women to spank him until he cries."
What do you think about this statement? Do you think it's true? It somewhat strikes a chord with me, but I can't put my finger on it. Can someone explain any psychological truth behind this? Thanks.
Note: Please don't take #5 as some dystopian communist world - just basically imagine that everyone has a decent lifestyle, that's all. And please don't take #4 as rapey - it just means that you are successful at your relationships.
I think Claire really did her best to keep from exploding. Phil was like an angel about it. Jay had already been through this, and he surprisingly wasn't bothered. I think they handled this event wonderfully, with the family shown supporting Haley and taking joy in welcoming new babies as opposed to castigating Haley for this.
Anyway, how would you react if your kid had something like that happen to them, or someone else in your close family, if not your kid?
It's a well-known statistic that a large fraction of homicides are committed by romantic partners, with affairs being one of the leading causes. Women, especially, are at far higher risk. If a woman is killed, it's very likely that the killer was a current or former romantic partner or spouse. Some stats go as far as to show that more than 3 out of every 4 women murdered were murdered by either a romantic partner or family.
So, what is the best way to defend yourself from being murdered in such domestic situations? Especially if you are cheating and could be caught at any time? What would you do to save yourself if your spouse catches you in bed with your lover? Especially considering that some other aggressor, like a robber or a home intruder, might be calm, methodical, and somewhat reasonable (like, give me money and I'll let you go), but the spouse who has just found out about the affair would be freaking out in a terrifying way? How do you defend against a person who is completely unpredictable like that? Unfortunately, even the law is on the side of the aggressor, with punishments as little as just one year or even simply probation in some states.
Assume that your teen is remorseful for whatever they did, and they'll be devastated after waiting for this concert for months. Would you make an exception to the grounding?
Edit: A lot of you are asking what the teen did. Since I'm asking for a friend, I can't share exact details, but I'll just say that it wasn't anything leading to arrest or police involvement, and there was no one harmed and no property destroyed by it.
Edit 2: I feel mainly concerned that the timing of the offense is being punished rather than the nature of the offense, because if this had happened during a week with nothing planned, it wouldn't hurt much at all.
Hi, I wonder how a stay-at-home parent will deal with their health insurance if the alimony amount, if any, can't cover it. And they have to pay the full premium; they don't have their employer covering part of it. How does this work? Do divorced stay-at-home parents often go uninsured?
So what happened is, my boss had come in to work with a foot injury, and he was limping a bit. He said that he got it from playing pickleball, and one of my coworkers said something like "Don't kid us, just tell us that your wife has hit you." My boss just said grimly, "Neither do I hit her nor does she hit me," and then he went away.
I think what she said was just wildly insensitive. Our workplace literally has flyers pinned to notice boards saying "Stop Domestic Violence," alongside all the required employer notices.
My question is, should I say anything about it? Should I make an anonymous report to HR or not? Thanks.
When I was little, my parents would make me eat plain yogurt. They used to say that I needed to learn to eat all kinds of food. It was so sour I couldn't stand it, and I used to dread dinner time because of it. One day, as I was basically begging them, but they made me swallow the yogurt anyway, I ran to the bathroom and puked. They stopped it after that, thankfully, and dinner time wasn't torture anymore.
I wonder if they were right or wrong there. I agree with the lesson they wanted to teach, and I'm not sure about whether they went about teaching it the right way. Nowadays, I still don't eat plain yogurt, but it's because I just prefer sweetened and flavored yogurt far more; it's not like I can't physically eat plain yogurt.
What would you have done with the kind of kid that I was, and what's your opinion of my parents?
Or if you shared a bed until the divorce filing, please tell us about that - that'd be a funny story.
I cut off contact with them as they felt like really shitty parents to me. Now I feel that they are half-shitty and half-good since they still continue calling even after all these years. I didn't call by myself once. It's been nearly 8 years now of low contact. How do I establish contact with them and kinda say sorry and say that I realize that they wanted something good for me underneath all their shittiness?
