I scan some legit QR codes and the URL preview is nonsense, because everyone uses link shortners and whatnot. I also don’t scan random QR codes because I don’t need any more information right now, I’m informationed out.

AMEX killing it again. Just sucks they got beef with Costco, who also kill it. I don’t want to be asked to take sides.

Piqued your interest, FYI.

None of the arguments for sharing location relate to cheating. If you are worried your partner is cheating, nothing will assuage your concerns, that is a you and them problem. I don’t think for one second my wife would cheat on me, and not because I’m the greatest thing since sliced bread or anything, she’s just a good, honest person, and when we have things come up in our relationship she talks to me.

If I’m doing it multiple times a day every day, why not just keep it on. Do you only leave the house once? I know that for some people that is the case, wake up, go to work, come home, all on a nice schedule. That is not the case in our house, not even close, and so it’s nice to be able to streamline the process of getting our shit together every day.

Yeah, my wife has mine and I know she doesn’t use it as often as she could, because I’ll get the text, and I’ll be like hey, just check the location. Both or jobs take us different places every day (that we aren’t home), and so neither of us have a schedule, and so rather than the same texts every day, “When you home,” when we’re trying to figure out the kids, or dinner, or camps, or I have to go to work at night, or she has a book club meeting, or whatever other myriad things happen every day, we can skip that step. Or we have the ability to, and my wife forgets about it.

Made worse, like they had the info before but now they really have it? They always have it, that’s it. If you’re concerned about privacy drop the phone, otherwise it’s a bullshit argument.

I really think you nailed it and that folks here are either kids or never grew out of the high school mentality. It seems like they conflate trust issues with openness, and that you would only share with your spouse because your spouse doesn’t trust you.

My wife has my location. My wife has had my location when I’ve gone to bachelor parties and done bachelor party activities. I doubt she looked at it. When I came home, I told her about things we did because we take an interest in one another’s lives.

It really all comes down to efficiency. She’s an hour from home and I need to start cooking dinner soon? I’ll go grab the kids now and come home and get going. It just helps plan days and nights.

I hope you wouldn’t invade her privacy, but I have no problem popping into my wife’s Gmail (I’ll ask her first), because some camp or school only sent something to her related to our kids that needs to be addressed. And there could be ten emails there from dudes names I don’t know and I wouldn’t care because I trust my wife implicitly. I would let her do exactly the same, I don’t keep my shit on lockdown because I’m worried she’ll see my Google search history.

These same people who are suggesting you live in fear of your partner dying are also afraid their partner might find their porn collection. It’s staggering. To describe location or password sharing as “vile” just puts into perspective the kind of people you’re talking to.

I knowy wife’s phone password, must have trust issues. Or we go on car rides and her phone is connected and the kids want me to put a song on. Should we pull over so she can unlock her phone? Vile.

Too many folks think it’s to keep tabs on people, because that’s presumably how they’d use it, they’d sit there and watch it.

I’m 37 and share my location with my wife. We have kids. It is an efficiency thing that we use to help decide when to begin dinner, who’s grabbing the kids, etc. The whole idea of trust issues is just very high school to me.

I have my mom’s location. She lives alone. She works in the city. Sometimes I like to just be sure she got home but don’t need to bother her about it, or I’m at work late and can’t be making phone calls.

Folks with privacy concerns, I guess I accept that. But if you think the only thing stopping the government from snatching you is your location services being off, you’re sorely mistaken.

I’ll look and see my wife is distant and I’ll shoot her a text and say “Grabbing the kids.” We each work jobs that take us different places every day (her more than me since COVID), and so we aren’t able to rely on some set pattern. I’m able to just see where she is and make a decision. Half the time she’s in the car she’s on the phone for some meeting and so I can’t call. It just makes things easier. I can’t fathom why it upsets you so much, but if you wanna chalk it up to America bad, you do you.

I have my mom’s location, and it’s good because she just turned 64 (I think) five minutes ago, I need to wish her a happy birthday, appreciate the reminder. But when she travels out alone, sometimes it’s nice to know she got back to her hotel without having to bother her about it, so we do the sharing thing. And for hiking alone, sharing your location with someone beforehand just seems like a good idea.

This article is dumb. Location sharing is silly. People will abuse it, and those same people would’ve found some other way to abuse the trust in their relationships anyway. I had girlfriends as a kid who’d demand calls when I was at a party they weren’t at. Dealing with a lack of trust in a relationship is a growing pain.

This is dumb. Young couples have been plagued by insecurity long before location sharing. Dial the clock back 20 years and I’m your typical high school boy worried about his girlfriend.

I share my location with my wife, and even some buddies of mine. My wife has seen my location when I was at someone’s bachelor party. It has nothing to do with sharing location and everything to do with trust in your relationship. I don’t have her location to keep tabs on her. I have her location so we can better figure out how to get our kids from places. I have my buddies’ locations so if I end up grabbing a beer, I know who’s out and about, or when someone goes to Tanzania, I can say, Joe, what the hell are you doing in Tanzania?

Before location sharing you texted, or you called, or you hit me on my pager, or sent me a letter. Technology isn’t the problem, it’s – once again – just us dumb people being dumb.

Stupid, but you and the comment below you both spelled it wrong.

Maybe it’s a dance, a dance of ridding shitty people. Good riddance!

Nissan CVT has had its fair share of bad press, but CVTs in general are good to go, and more specifically, Toyota’s CVT is a good piece of gear. I don’t doubt your story, but it’s got me real curious about what the issue is. I can’t imagine a scenario where hard braking somehow disables the car, but I know “safety features” in abundance are a thing.

I did many a peepee check while in the Marines. It was a rite of passage. Guys tended to have fun with it, although, as with general population, some dudes were piss shy, and you’d let them have their privacy. Most guys would ask you to get as close as possible to watch though, because homoeroticism is rampant in the Marines, especially back when infantry units were all male. There was very little fun to be had, so you made it where you could.

So there’s an issue with cheeses in America, and I’m sure abroad as well, that I first was apprised of in Food Lab’s No-Boil Baked Ziti, real nice recipe. A note below the recipe talks about the ricotta cheese they recommend, and it says:

Look for a ricotta cheese that contains nothing but milk, salt, and starter culture or acid.

America, I’m sure you’ll agree, love to sneak shit into food, so I’m always extra careful, when making Italian style dishes, to keep an eye out. For some reason, I don’t think my grandma had this problem 50 years ago when she’d feed me the raw spiced meat before she’d roll em into balls and pop them in the oven.

I live in suburbia and I can get cheese with like three ingredients from ShopRite. Legit, good quality cheese according to the likes of Serious Eats and their Food Lab, and their recipes are fantastic and I trust them with my food life.

Oddly enough, I can go to that same ShopRite and get individually wrapped yellow squares of whatever. A dozen different kinds. Or I can get real cheese sourced from all over.

They were free to disclose it. It is this way because people have used interoffice relationships to better their positions and create favor, which leads to an imbalanced an unfair workplace. Having a secret romance in the office has the potential for failure at best.
