    There are consequences if EB involves himself and tattles; EB's roommate will hate him for ruining her relationship with her boyfriend. The boyfriend will be hurt by the roommate's betrayal.

    True, but ultimately childish. Instead, the roommate should hate herself for being an unfaithful liar.

    On the other hand

    my roommate is bringing home guys while her boyfriend that she 'looooooooooooooves' is deployed over seas

    Valentines Day she arranges this big bouquet of flowers on the kitchen table that he sent her

    next night random dude in her room

    i've only lived with her for a month so i dont know her guy or would bother to get involved with that situation even if i did since i'm the one who lives with her

    but yeah it also makes me sick to my stomach

    Fuck that, call his CO.

    you want to drop it on a guy in a warzone that his gf is cheating on him?

    i'd rather he focused on staying alive

    No! Call his CO. Let the person who knows the guy's situation deal with it.


    "Deployed overseas" might mean shifting crates in a warehouse in Germany.

    yeah but if he's at a FOB that shit can be dangerous I dunno about this advice
    From what I understand soldiers being cheated on is incredibly common. I'm p sure the CO would know what to do and whether to pass it on or not. They most likely have experience.

    Not every CO is a good CO, I'd be pretty uncomfortable about it. He's just as cheated on when he gets back.

    True, but he has a lot more money and no expectations of a happy reunion with the trick he thinks he's dating.

    possibly, but the whole plan just reeks a little to me of someone being super gung ho about doing the "right" thing and sticking it to that "trick" and I start thinking about what roads to hell are paved with.

    I don't think it's ever good to be party to a lie or a breach of trust. "If you kept my bullshit secret, this bad thing wouldn't have happened" isn't compelling to me.

    In all cases, the blame for that bad thing falls on the liar, not on the one who exposed it.

    I disagree, but I get where you're coming from.

    My knife broke after stabbing less than a dozen zombies in the face. At that point I turned the game off.
    Durability in zombie games is a stupid mechanic.

    Yeah that was a little odd

    "Oh no! I have worn out my length of steel pipe!"

    It's also kind of offputting how the animations for a lot of the weapons don't relate to what actually happens. Big sweeping 180 degree swings of a bat that pass through your enemy's body but inexplicably don't hit, etc.

    One thing that bugs me about working the triage office is that the front window has a big fuck-off sign that says quite clearly, "SIGN IN HERE" over the pile of clipboards , and yet people all day just come up to the window and stand there until I tell them what to do.

    I've been to hospitals and dr's offices where no one will look at that list for like... 40 minutes.

    I can see why they'd want to have someone acknowledge that they've arrived.

    Hospitals are the worst about this. If it's not by ambulance it's obviously not critical!

    As the guy next to me holds an open wound in his chest weeping blood because he lives like a mile from the hospital and walked there.

    It is all about acknowledgment, isn't it?

    People just want to know that someone is paying attention to them.


    As for the ambulance thing, it's pretty unfair, but it's the way the system is set up. You can't hardly triage an ambulance patient into the waiting room, so they end up getting priority even when they shouldn't.

    I'd probably have an stretcher triage separate from the rest of the waiting room in this regard. Surprised they don't do something like that.

    not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me

    I disconnected with one of my closest friends from high school because he apparently thought my house was a totally cool place to bring girls to cheat on his girlfriend/fiance/wife.

    I would come home and he'd already be there with some random girl and I'm all :|


    So I told his wife one day, and he never spoke to me again. They had three kids in the next five years and then he divorced her.

    Not only is it possibly $1000+ a month if he's paying her living expenses, cheaters sometimes do awful things like drain bank accounts or steal cars / pets when they know the free ride is about to end. I don't know how entwined their finances are but if she's paying his bills with his money, cutting that access off before she abuses it could be very important.

    Men beating up the guys who sleep with their missus isn't about assigning blame, it's about male feelings of ownership, public image, following established routes of action, feeling emasculated or whatever and so forth.

    No it's not. It's about getting revenge, about getting even with a guy who wronged you. It may not be the most noble of sentiments, but it's definitely one we can all understand and relate to. Well, all of us who won't sit in chat and lie about having never had an urge to beat the crap out of someone who's wronged us badly in some way.

    And being upset that your girlfriend/wife cheated on you to the point you'd feel violent has nothing to do with "male feelings of ownership" of women. Trust and faithfulness in a relationship is not ownership, and the devastating hurt you feel when that trust is betrayed in the most horrible way by the person you entrusted the most is not due to some archaic established male-female power relation.

    So I guess you saw that first bit of my post, fell into a blind, violent rage and didn't bother reading further?

    Want to add some bits there to take the place of the 'whatever and so forth'? Go right ahead. The point I was addressing was someone saying going after the other guy was weird because he wasn't the only one to blame.

    I have read your entire post. It's quoted in its intact entirety right there before mine.

    The guy who did the cheating is not the only one to blame, for sure, but he is one of those to blame (assuming he had a way of knowing or suspecting the girl was in a relationship), and there's nothing weird about assigning blame to him. What's weird is you dismissing that as only due to some archaic feelings of male ownership of women, rather than due to the very real betrayal of trust one person had in another.

    Or, you know, the other stuff I said, like following established routes of action for that kind of situation, like hitting things because you're mad or hurt and when you've been hurt you just gotta hit something.

    But you want to hit the other guy because your spouse betrayed your trust? Unless this other guy is a friend of yours he's betrayed jack shit in the way of your trust, and you're just hitting him to make yourself feel better. Which, you know, is kinda dumb.
