I think, with so many trolls in comments these days, that people assuming I was up to no good was pretty safe, so I don’t take any of the replies personally :)

I get you. I was straddling the fence between being ignorant, and potentially being rude. I felt like possibly apologizing for being rude was better than remaining ignorant :)

:shrug: in my experience, both  parents present, the kids always run to mom. Thats why I asked - more anthropological curiosity. 

It wasn’t intended to be rude, in retrospect I think I just articulated the question poorly in the interest of being brief. 

Thank you for the reply - I wasn’t trolling, just asking questions out of curiosity because I don’t know any other way to learn what I was asking - Google failed me on this one other than some bloggy opinion pieces and I figured people here would be a little more receptive to the question.

I think I just articulated it poorly - it’s just something outside my experience and it was a tough thing to google so I thought this would be a place to benefit from others’ first-hand experience. Thanks for the level reply. I wasn’t thinking things like food prep, it was more - when a young kid falls off a slide and…

My experiential base has all included pretty consistent roles divided between the gender of my parents, friends’ parents, and peers that are now parents - I didn’t want to *assume* it was all the same, so I asked the question. I wasn’t intending to cause offense, I was legitimately curious if it was the same in same…

Thanks for the level reply, I grew up with and had always observed certain paternal duties going to one parent or the other, typically along gender lines, and wondered if that dynamic remained consistent in a same sex couple. Apologies if it came across as offensive.

Sorry! No offense was intended. I’d just always observed (and personally experienced) that boo-boo = mom, I was just curious if the dynamic remained the same or not.

I’m ignorant on the subject, so no mockery or rudeness is intended when I ask. In a same-sex couple with kids, are there defined parental roles, like is there one parent the kids always run to with a boo-boo, one parent that is summoned to kill spiders? I only know one same-sex couple with kids but not well enough to…

It’s on a calendar back at the ‘cave, every 6 months call TWC and be ready to cancel. It’s tougher at the current place because I can either get TWC gigabit or ATT 1.5mbit DSL, once they realize that I’ll probably get bent over.

Judge: “wait it has a CVT? Make that 20 million”

I did read it, it’s still a stupid clickbait title. 

Yeah I still forget that clickbait is easier than substantive content.

Understood, I simply took umbrage with “leech”, as it implies exploitation of a resource. A lot of people reading the article are likely trying to grab wifi without permission.

Leeching someone else’s wifi without permissions is illegal in the US. Do not do it. As an aside, some people leave open SSID’s specifically to capture other people’s traffic.

There is a difference between signal *strength* and signal *quality* - also, your device could initially be reporting the strength of a 2.4ghz signal but there might be a 5ghz radio in the access point(s) using the same SSID. Some access points support band steering to push 5ghz capable devices to that band, as…

Thanks for taking the time to reply! I figure if I have girls I’ll just teach them stuff I know and let my wife teach them stuff she knows and we’ll even out somewhere in the middle. When we first started dating I discovered my wife couldn’t change a tire or do lots of stuff, her dad didn’t bother to teach her…

In case I wind up having a daughter - are there any places during upbringing you think specifically steered you in a direction that led to you becoming uncomfortable with negotiating? I can think about it to myself, but I don’t think any parent specifically raises their kid to be passive, so... any thoughts? You don’t…

Thats why they said no - you essentially asked “Can I talk you into paying me more than you are offering?”. Instead, next time, try making an actual counteroffer - shoot above what you want, because it’s a negotiation. Once the money is settled, or if they won’t budge, try to get a gym membership, or an extra week of…
