• Disksh0p BBS review video

    From Dumas Walker@77:1/115 to ALL on Tue Mar 31 18:20:00 2020
    If you have not yet watched the video and want a laugh, go to youtube and
    do a search on diskshop bbs. After seeing it mentioned here, that was how
    I found it.

    Now, for a little added fun, while watching the video, I found myself
    wondering who the host, "Cheese Burger," really was. So, let's take a
    little poll and see who we all think he could be.

    Cheese Burger is really:

    (A) The Millionaire
    (B) Oli
    (C) Poindexter FORTRAN
    (D) Erich Bublitz
    (E) Netsurge
    (F) (write in vote)

    I don't mean to pick on Poindexter but, since he was personally
    name-dropped during the video, I think my vote goes to (C), although both
    of the preceeding options are tempting. :D

    I can't think of anyone offhand, but he does say that he's been running a, uh, bulletin, uh, type of uh, sort of uh, system for 40+ years. Must be one of the pioneers of the BBS world.

    He did leave me a message before he posted the video. He said that I might
    know who he is and if I did not to tell anyone as the anonymity of all of
    this is half the fun.

    Honestly, I have no idea who it might be.

    a little poll and see who we all think he could be.

    Laughed my ass off the whole video. This guy should have his own show.
    There was one clue to his identity tho. On Diskshops main menu it says
    "Logged in from: 173.239.199.35". The IP resolves to a VPN.

    Very sneaky Mr Burger.

    So - explain this to me like I'm a complete moron (some say I am so let's go with that for a second) - you get married and everything is A-OK. But then she wants a divorce and you have to pay her?

    Based on what? Because you made more money than her, she takes the kids and need alimony?

    I got divorced 15 years ago from my first wife. We have two kids together. We never paid each other a dime other when we got them new clothes or other major purchases like bikes or stuff like that, then we split the cost 50/50.

    What the h^ll you sure had it better then me!

    Of course when your divorce lawyer tells you it is the dirtest divorce
    he had ever seen that pretty much tells the story. Of course that didn't
    stop him from collecting 25.800 from me. And then paying 10.500 of hers
    fee's 500.00 ordered from the court.

    2.200 a year for her for 10 years and then the bi*tch stuck me with three
    years of back taxes when she claimed 13 dependents. And they didn't come
    all at one time. First year I lived on 1200 gross and 43.00 dollars take
    home living in my Mothers basement.

    And that is why I have been single going all the way back to 96.

    Me, retired looking to buy 80 acres around Lake Linden, Mi and build a
    house, pole barn and grew crops and hunt and fish.

    You had it good and I'm happy for you!

    So this (over here at least), gets complicated.

    When you divorce, you split up your assets 50/50 (or an agreed rate).

    If the primary asset is a house - you either sell it, and after debts, 50/50 whats left. Or you get it valued and "buy" it from the other party.

    Then, thereafter, the breadwinning partner pays money to the non-breadwinning partner but for the "children" not for the partner. That amount is based on the bread winners salary and the ratio of how often the children "live" with the other partner. This normally stops when the children are no longer dependant.

    It gets further complicated, when there are other major assets involved, like "superannuation", which cannot be cashed in - but the partner may argue for a portion of its value...

    It's ugly more often than its not.

    Based on both. The person who makes more tends to have to pay the one who
    makes less. I think the reasoning is to maintain the same lifestyle one had.

    I've been happily married for almost 20 years. I'm lucky I guess.

    Speaking from experience, both as a child of divorced parents and someone
    that has gotten divorced himself, the legal system in the US for some reason overwhelmingly tends to favor women in cases of divorce and custody disputes.

    I wish I knew why. *shrug*

    You had it good and I'm happy for you!

    Ouch, that's a bad divorce. We didn't have a divorce lawyer, there was never a need for it. After twelve years we figured we where done and parted as friends. We divided up our belongings, made a schedule for having the kids every second week each and got our each new place to live. Sold our house and went our separate ways. We are still friendly, 15 years later and she was over yesterday to pick up our youngest daughter (now 17). Sure we've had one or 15 fights over the years after we split up but it's been pretty civil, all things concidering.

    stop him from collecting 25.800 from me. And then paying 10.500 of hers
    fee's 500.00 ordered from the court.

    Losing money in a divorce isn't as bad as completely losing a child. That's
    the painful lesson I learned. I lost my son to the divorce via parental alienation 12 years ago.

    If you still have any access to your kid(s) (if any) then you're still winning.

    I tip my hat to you. All kidding aside, I would be lost without my kids. I can't imagine life without them.

    Yea, first Shitty... that does really suck and I feel for you not having access to your children, even if just for good solid visits. That doesn't seem fair or right, in almost any situation. I hope that status can improve or change for you one day. Don't give up - things can happen court-side or partner side... I hope you find the way.

    I divorced my ex-wife, and even just not LIVING WITH them is so hard. I live in another state, so our visits include trips to Oregon... previously Texas.. but we doso often and have even figured out ways to make it happen thru this pandemic. Children are so important, and they need us.

    Shitty, I'm thinking of ya man..

    I have 2 with my current wife and that zaps away a lot of the pain. I've come to terms with it. It was horrendous at first.

    I'm glad you found a way to keep the kids happy. I feel bad for all the kids
    of the world who are dealing with consequences of the pandemic. It's not
    really that hard for most adults, I think. But for kids, this is an awful and hopefully not too scary ordeal.

    Shitty, I'm thinking of ya man..

    Thanks! I'm good though. I was crying all the time for the first few years but now, 12 years later, I'm strong. I'd do just about anything for that kid if I had a chance. I regret not being able to see or hear him grow, but I've learned to move on and focus on my 2 younger kids that are with me every day.

    They cost a shit load though, but I couldn't live without them. Also the dog, he is the loyalist of the bunch.

    Same here. I'd probably be a severe alcoholic if I didn't have my 2 other
    kids. That's the path I was headed at first after the divorce. I was literally using alcohol as medicine and it was working. But I turned my life around and made an awesome new family.

    How do I tell my kids alcohol is bad for them when it's the answer to all their problems.

    You first turn to politics. They will teach you how to be a perfect hypocrite. Once you have mastered the art, you can tell your kids whatever you want with a straight face.

    Who said it was hard?
