Girlfriend for 6 months, she has a few red flags but no dealbreakers and I like her just fine for now but I’m not too attached.

We were sitting around the other day and she semi-jokingly said she wanted to look through my phone. I told her sure, I’ll unlock it and let her…. if she unlocks and allows me to look through hers. I said it’s only fair.

She got very quiet and defensive and said she was only joking and we should move on. Intuition tells me that I don’t need to see her phone to know she’s hiding something.

Friends say the lease is up and it’s time to trade her in for a new model. I told her once that if we broke up, I would have an easier time replacing her than she would replacing me. I’m a one woman at a time guy but I have options and wouldn’t have an issue exercising them.

I’m inclined to move on from her but I’m curious what the socially maladjusted gaming community thinks.

Stop worrying. Walk away. You don't need a valid reason. Just be upfront, don't make up crap on the way out, and don't let this make you petty. Looking for a reason, is a reason.

Even if you find the perfect one, and she thinks the same of you, unless you're both involved in horrific accident one of ya gets to watch the other die down the road. Wasting time worry about the perfect ending to a single chapter in your entire book is stupid lol.

So how does everyone feel about Israel not allowing relief supplies like food and medicine from outside countries into Gaza? To me the policy makes sense because it’s all just going to go to Hamas anyway.

First I thought it was a tad cruel but then I realized it is as much about keeping stuff from coming in, as it is keeping anyone from helping Hamas members get out. Then I also realized that I'm in the U.S. and it's not my backyard.

@adrian1480: Take care of it, don't lift it too high unless you wanna wear stuff out, and put some E grade tires on it. It's not a bad vehicle by any means.

@Sushiglutton: I'm not sure if any of the Muslim nations want the Palestinians. Think the only reason some even support them is because they want Israel gone.

Is it plausible that if Israel was destroyed, and the Palestinians took over, that they in turn would be taken over by one of the Muslim nations that's been arming Hamas?

It's why I'm choosing Israel in this fight. No matter what happens the Palestinians are screwed.

@adrian1480:

Couple of things, I guess.

When I said switch it, I meant switch my answer and it would be the same blah blah racism/oppression. The key players here are Israel and Hamas. Wasn't 25 years ago, but not getting into that. The choice is between those two. No one else is even a contender, directly.

I'm not choosing Israel because I agree with them and their methodology. I'm choosing them because I feel they would get along with the other real powerhouses of the region and for the sake of stability.

But Israel. Absolutely, Israel.

So you choose apartheid, racism, and oppression, is that it?

Yes.

Cause if you switch it, it swings the same way.

Not going to get into all the angles you want to get into. Will keep the responses simple. Try and poke however you wish, but without going into context, my answer is my answer!

So I'm think about buying a car in the next 12 months or so (yes, I know about interests rates, leave that aside for this discussion). Nothing fancy, I can't afford fancy :P

I'm casting a wide net. I'm looking at anything from SUV's, to compacts, to sedans etc. #1 on my "dream" list (not really) was a Jeep. Like this one:

Well, according to the Internets (Kelly's Blue Book, US News), they suck :D

So, anyone here has first hand experience with one of these or similar?

I know they suck at MPG, but if that were the only drawback I might suck it up and go for it (or buy they electric version), but apparently this isn't the only con.

Help!

I have a 2016 jku I'm still partial to.

Some of the things you will hear is Death Wobble, Bad transmissions, Oil Cooler (expensive), and a few other notables. There are plenty of guides to tell you what years were bad, and when others were good.

It's a fun vehicle.

Ford Bronco is good too, but watch out for the years that the Sport version were made, as they are NOT a bronco. Again, do your research.

Also, do you like ducks? Not real ducks, but the little bathtub ones? Cause once you drive a wrangler, and start noticing those dashboards in all sorts of yellows...

@putemincamps: if they were forgoing the payment of union dues, unions that they are currently part of, then yes. Most likely they will have to start paying the organization that they belong to. If they don't like it they can seek work elsewhere and the unions will have to improve what they offer or die off.

Edit. It's worth noting that because unions are a natural part of the free market, they have to offer decent enough benefits to it's members to justify it's continued existence or the union will die off naturally. If businesses really want to keep unions from forming naturally in the first place all they have to do is maintain commitments to treating employees well and compensating them well along with it.

I'm good with unions in general, but there are shenanigans that can arise that get more complicated because of them. One time I got a job, and I enjoyed it and it took a lot of effort to get my foot in the door. Well, union, and you had to be there so many working days before you could join. Halfway through, they voted to go on strike.

So I asked the company people what do I do? They said If i didn't come to work, they'd fire me.

I asked the union reps what to do, they said if I crossed the lines I'd never join the union. Never joining the union didn't mean I could just keep working there, either.

Aside from that, I've seen a ton of buddy systems go down that kept people who'd normally been fired by HR on the job because of unions, and it's very hard to step over your reps. We're talking sexual harrassment, kick backs, and all that stuff. Maybe white collar unions are a little more civilized, but you can get into a whole lot of crap that will bleed into your outside life if you double cross or "snitch" on the union in smaller towns/companys in the sticks.

Glad you've never experienced it. But I don't agree that people should be forced to join a union. Not the person's fault the union would have a problem if the company had it's own workforce on site as well, doing the same job with different rulebooks.
