  • I mean sure to an extent. But there are still different cultures. Going shopping in a filipeno grocery store and having to duck every 6 steps so I don’t hit my head on anything. Eating authentic Filipino food. I think that is just as culturally different than eating gator in the swamps and tasting soul food.

    That being said, I don’t REALLY care about cultures. How the live their lives, daily patterns, and way of doing things don’t matter to me. Just not interested but camping, seeing nature, and just being out and about that is a lot of fun. I can do all that without leaving the US.

    I mean within America we have a huge diversity of locations/cultures/biomes/travel destinations.

    So we don’t NEED to leave America to see different things. I’ve visited Hawaii, Washington, New York, Florida, California, and several others. From fishing, to seeing the redwoods, to a swamp tour, to the beaches of Hawaii.

    I would like to see Europe but that’s expensive.





  • So I’m not an agent but i work in IT.

    If i were inclined I would snoop traffic going over the home network probably with a packet capture with the ability to decrypt ssl traffic. So I would have tools installed on your computer/device to make that easy. This would amount for computers/ tablets and other devices that don’t have LTE/cellular connections.

    To make sure you didn’t use the tor and other end to end encryption I would block those protocols on the network.

    To make sure you were not going through other networks/hotspots I would monitor and get alerted to any new ssid’s at the house then blast the frequency that ssid is broadcasting on to make it unusable.

    To make sure your phone was always monitored I would put parental controls and backdoor remote access and logging.

    That covers a decent amount of situations I can think of off the top of my head.

    Want to circumvent this? Use internet at the friends house on a secret device that your parents will never find out about so keep it away from your house. Use online personas, don’t use your real anything online.







  • I don’t even think the colleague is a dick. OP doesn’t like kids so they wouldn’t want to do this, no problem. Colleage has kids and wants to meet up but has to bring kids, that doesn’t make them a dick. It’s just their circumstance at the moment. I have kids, if I want to go out with friends I either make sure they are OK with it or find someone to watch them. If a friend reached out to me and wants to hang out but I have nobody to watch the kids then I’m not a dick for saying if you want to then I have to bring the kids.

    You always have the right to say no. It doesn’t make anyone a dick.




  • I put my girl down a year and a half ago. She was an eight year old rottie that loved life, Loved kids and loved me. She had cancer growing in her brain/snout that was making her angry, agitated and a danger to others. Could I have waited a month or two longer? Maybe, but she wasn’t happy anymore so it was time. I paid for an autopsy because I wanted to know, the cancer was everywhere in her skull/ muzzle taking up 1/5th the brain cavity.

    Holding onto her for longer was unfair to the years of happiness she gave me. In the end I couldn’t be selfish and had to let her go. So maybe try that route with your wife? It was the hardest decision I ever made and I cried all the way to the vet and thought about turning around a couple of times.

    @op, you say you like to present occasionally differing opinions to open up discussion and differing ideas. According to the log this user posted you don’t open up avenues for discussion. You insult and generally look like you are trolling.

    If you want to open up discussion ask questions
