I remember hearing an interview on the radio with a man who'd been married something like 75 years and when asked about the secret of a happy marriage he (almost) immediately answered "Two words - Yes dear."
The correct answer should be "This is my house! If you don't want to sleep together, you go to the couch!". Alternatively, go the couch, stay there for a week and then sell the bed saying "I wasn't using it anyway...".
Eh, for some people it's really a dice roll on who anyone will side with. My siblings will usually take the side that will have the most entertaining result. Usually that ends up against myself and our mother.
Yeah this makes me want to stay single. "Are you saying I'm dumb?" is a manipulative statement that unpacks to "If you maintain your assertion, I will interpret it in a way that will result in you being punished." Of course, the whole thing was a joke, but if you're in a relationship where that happens, consider counseling because that person is not healthy.
The problem with me is if/when they use that statement I already know what they’re trying to pull and I don’t give a damn; I’ll tell them “you said it” and give them a look as if to say ‘do you want to try that again’? 🤨
I am just so glad that my partner would never argue like that. Just imagining the situation is horrible :D But I dont understand, why he does not propose to just look it up. Hm, but now that I think about it, there were 2-3 times, when I looked something up she said, that I find hard to believe, she feels like I dont trust her knowledge. That is a little bit harder to make right :D But I managed somehow to make clear that I value her opinion, even when looking it up either way.
my A+ tactic is (when the bullshitting happens) you say "I am confused, can we backtrack? I want to understand your point of view but I feel like we've moved on to an entirely different course and I'm still stuck on the first one. Be patient with me, please?" be sure to make the please sound as pitiable as possible without being wimpy. Total disarmment, it forces them go either go back to the point, or be the aggressor and you the victim. Report back with your findings to brainstorm once she adapts
Put it this way. Pluto is so important that they had to create a whole new category of planet. First dwarf planet. Don't think of it as a downgrade rather than an upgrade to our science. Pluto is such an underdog that it won the fight and science had to change to fit around how amazing Pluto is
Not the first dwarf planet. Ceres is much closer and was discovered in 1801 before we knew Pluto existed. Pluto was reclassified because it was less massive than first expected, is not much bigger than its largest moon Charon, and is more similar to the many other dwarf planets. Not sure why you'd give Pluto the credit rather than the whole set of objects being categorized.
I see nothing strange about an engineer becoming a comedian. As an engineer myself (whose superpower is sarcasm), I find most of the companies I worked for required I have varying amounts of tolerance for the farcical things I was expected to achieve within fairytale timelines, and the miracles I was expected to perform with insufficient resources. Since the Jesus job is taken that only left me with developing a sense of humour in order to survive. In fact a lot of the engineers I know have developed the same traits in order to survive in the current work environment. I can totally relate to the stuff Don is talking about. Even in my non-professional life, Excel is my friend. 😁
I sometimes think they watch to much television, were they do something in minutes that would actually take hours or days. I calculate my timeline by figuring out how long it should take me if I do it completely right and then multiply by three. That has been very accurate over 90% of the time, but applying that concept to others ability, not so much. This is an emergency and must be finished in three days. OK, that will cost you 24 hours at regular time and 48 hours of overtime, because I can't do that and sleep to. Actually, they got me a room at a near by hotel, so I did get a few hours sleep.
I’m an engineer, too, so I instantly began to solve your problem. 🤪 And I think, I found the reason for your problem many years back in the past: you surely were looking for Mrs. Right, correct? But you should have made sure, that her first name was NOT “Always”. 🙊
When she said "Do you think I'm dumb?" just answer with "Did I say that you're dumb?" "That wasn't what you said, but you meant it!" "No, dear. The scientific community has downgraded Pluto. That has nothing to do with you." "Sleep on the couch!" *best night sleep ever* "Does he know I'm not talking to him?" "Hm. No wonder it's peaceful. No arguments. No flipping the reverse card because you want to. No blame. No traps. It was just peaceful. What you call the silent treatment is a vacation."
I was a STEM teacher, years ago. I wish I had this guys material for my classes back then. My best funny was... All of the kids were issued chromebooks and we actually had a pretty good Wi-Fi network and I put that to good use. However, being rather rural, the power would flicker off for a second or so, and then all the servers had to reset, which took a few minutes. This happens one fine day, and one of the kids in the back row, in frustration, yells, "WHAT is WRONG with the internet!" Sotto voce, I said "You can't get away from the porn." The kids up front heard and began to giggle. It quickly spread to the back.
Don't let bullies like Neil deGrasse Tyson disrespect Pluto like that. Pluto will always be a planet in my heart and also in the diagram on my old elementary school's corridor because everyone's too lazy to update that 😌
@@Wecoc1if Pluto should be considered a planet then Ceres, which orbits between Mars and Jupiter, should also be considered a planet. Also beyond Pluto there are other "planets", like Haumea, Eris, Makemake and so on. So let's keep Pluto a dwarf planet or it's getting ridiculous.
It might be laziness, but I'm not so sure. If you tell a bunch of little kids that Pluto, that tiny little planet on the outside, is not a planet anymore, there is bound to be dozens of crying children and angry parents.
The beauty of this is I am a retired 15R from the army who loves to drink. I also play and judge magic the gathering and am good at talking to people. I am now a life, health, and property insurance agent.
What’s remarkable is how accurate this guy is while not realizing the discovery that he’s already made. He’s not avoiding traps; he’s already been trapped. She let him think she would be reasonable long enough to catch him in a legally binding contract whereby 50% of his assets and 20% of his future income…plus whatever child support is in his state for 18 years… is the price for winning just one more argument. Marriage is a bad contract…he just wasn’t smart enough to recognize the first trap.
In that case, you'd better add a few more "planets" to the mobile. Ceres & Eris at the least, and several others probably. But the IAU says a dwarf planet isn't a planet. Just like a tiger shark isn't a tiger. ;D
No, it's not a planet, just like a killer whale is not a whale - it's a dolphin. Names can be misleading. A dwarf planet is a sub-planetary object that is in orbit around the sun, it's massive enough for its gravity to make it spherical, but isn't able to dominate its orbit.
If Neil Degrasse Tyson says that Pluto is a dwarf planet and therefore not a planet, what does he have to say about dwarf humans? I think Neil owes some serious apologies.
Management and people skills? Show me that manager. Problem solving and people skills is like an arbitrator. Also there's like the funniest meme picture where a woman asks a man "how did you get so fit" and the man replies "exercise and reducing calories" and the woman replies with a chuckle "no, really, what's your secret!" People really, really don't want their problems solved, they just want them to disappear. The problem with engineers arguing with women is that they play by different rules. How could you win when you're not even playing the same game and the other party has all the unbalanced cheat codes and trump cards that are like "immediately go to jail without passing the start". Also the worst thing you CAN do is to win one of those arguments with a woman. That's when you're in real trouble. There's another meme about that: on a forum someone says "my wife just said I'm right, what should I do?!" to which someone else replied "say that you're sorry".
My husband says men want to figure out why something doesn't work. Women just want it to work. I think our position makes more sense. It should work. 😀
@@carly4513 I think both perspectives are valuable. If you understand why, you can prevent it from not working next time or fix it, while being focused on it working, gives faster results for the immediate problem.
I had a shirt made that says “Pluto doesn’t give a fuck”. Because it doesn’t care that it has a category, it doesn’t even care that it has a name, and because it’s a rock it doesn’t care about stupid human arguments. But also, my favorite planet. 🤩
Are you trying to tell us that planets (of all types) don't care about your feelings? How cold, how hard, how dark, how small. Wait a minute; that sounds exactly like Pluto.
I've been married for just over a year now and I must say this is the most difficult thing I've ever tried to teach myself. The back of my head is screaming at me to shut up by my genius mouth says something like "that's illogical", or "that's not how this works".
I prepped for that last argument before we were even engaged. Not only do I have a wonderful couch that is very sleepable, but my wife knows it’s basically glamping; a cushy version of what I consider to be a vacation.
I’ve also decided the argument isn’t worth the effort, so I “Yes Dear” and wait for her to figure out the truth. It can be brutal and a bit damaging but at least we’re not divorced.
Pluto is a planet. In our house we are all agreed except for one teacher who my son called an idiot which required a meeting. I made him state his case. Pluto does indeed have moons and orbits our sun and by the time he was done she was convinced I’m an idiot and he still got detention but now she wears a shirt that says never forget with a picture of Pluto on it so I realize no man can tell her it’s not. I won somehow but I don’t know how
Sounds about right, early on, you win more arguments because you have the least to lose. As time goes on, is it really worth it to win the argument? What could i lose if i win the argument? Probably best to take the loss which is also a win.
We solve problems! I went from accounting to math (computer science) to engineering to accoutning-econ (dual major) before finally realizing that after 4 years of college, at this rate i would never graduate and since I had the most units in accounting, I'd do that.
There's a video out there of the leading expert on Pluto and Neil Degrass Tyson having the same argument. Pluto really should be a planet (as should at least most of the rest of the dwarf planets).
Not really. I mean, it is not important first of all - scientists use those classifications (and that's all they are) just so they would have a bit more orderly lists. There is no real scientific reason behind those, because they highly depend on the definition. There are probably more similarities between Pluto and Mercury than Jupiter and Pluto or any other rocky planet. Important distinction is between stars and other orbiting bodies. But between various non-star objects that orbit around a star? Not really. There is no different science involved - therefore it is scientifically not important. It is just about easier data maintenance. If there is a significant difference, it is between objects that turn spherical due to the effect of their own mass, and those that don't. There is some scientific difference going on there. But between other round objects orbiting a star? Nope. Should Pluto be a planet? As much as Jupiter should be a dwarf planet. It is just a class division for objects. You can go either way. Scientists really don't care as long as you get the rest of the science right. Those classifications are just there to save us some time - nothing more. And in case of Pluto, it does save you time if you call it Dwarf Planet and not a Planet. Because if you say it is a Planet, you need to add a few other parameters to fully explain its position and characteristics. While a definition of a Dwarf Planet fits it much better and you have less explaining to do to fully characterize Pluto. And that is the whole point of those astronomical classifications - putting objects into defined groups so they are easier to find and explain, without using more time than it is necessary. And, frankly, the only people who got their panties in a twist about Pluto are certain Americans. The rest of the world does not care, we are completely fine with the scientific division as it is now. Americans care because Pluto is the only "planet" found by an American. Pure nationalism, has nothing to do with science. Same with using imperial system over metric and many other things. Because 'Murica!
He isn't the leasing expert on anything but talking about science on talk shows. Here's the reality of it, astronomers didn't want to have to admit that after saying they know all about all the planets that there are like three times as many and they don't know jack about most of them.
Imagine if there's intelligent life on Pluto that's about as technologically advanced as our medieval period. From their perspective it is the centre of the solar system. The sun and the rest of the planets is a frivolous God that likes to dance around Pluto and tell it how pretty it is.
"Are you saying I'm dumb?" "Absolutely not, dear. New consensus from people in that field of science have downgraded Pluto. Our education is just simply out of date with what's new." That's how you could have won the argument. lol
If Pluto is a planet, then our solar system would technically have had hundreds of planets, which is why the new category was defined. But I also do not want to sleep on a couch, so...
It’s not that there isn’t a solution to the problem of “I’m fat” it’s that you need to actually understand the problem that needs solving…just like in engineering…not all problems are as easy as they seem…:-D. The easier the problem seems, the harder it actually is…do not provide an obvious solution…ask questions first…as any good scientist does…🤔😊😁🤣🤣🤣
Kudos to your wife for standing up for Pluto. I recognize Pluto as a planet too. Being a dwarf doesn't mean you are not human, likewise being a dwarf planet doesn't mean you are not a planet.
The definition of Pluto isn't a battle you want to pick. They can always update the definition to adopt it as a planet again, despite all the other bodies they'd have to admit as well. Either way, Pluto isn't going anywhere, and no one on Pluto cares whether it's classed as a planet.

Pluto does indeed have moons and orbits our sun and by the time he was done she was convinced I’m an idiot and he still got detention but now she wears a shirt that says never forget with a picture of Pluto on it so I realize no man can tell her it’s not. I won somehow but I don’t know how
Sounds about right, early on, you win more arguments because you have the least to lose. As time goes on, is it really worth it to win the argument? What could i lose if i win the argument? Probably best to take the loss which is also a win.
You should go for devorce on first question :)
-Pluto is not a planet
-If Pluto is not a planet, put Uranus on the couch
-I‘m sorry honey
Pluto is still a planet. It is a dwarf planet... 😁
Hear about Pluto, that’s messed up. -Burton Guster.

We solve problems! I went from accounting to math (computer science) to engineering to accoutning-econ (dual major) before finally realizing that after 4 years of college, at this rate i would never graduate and since I had the most units in accounting, I'd do that.
Hey, I didn't know you were in Babylon 5. S05e13, a bartender role.
Pluto is the best planet :)
I just got out of RUclips commenting JAIL!!!! And I don't even know why I was put in jail to start with. I asked but RUclips will not tell me!!!
Hahaha ok so the whiteboard reminding me to be nice, don’t solve for x alongside the operative clause list is not an aberration
What are you talking about?
this guy always reminds me of Ben from Viva LaDirt
As an engineer I'm now starting to wonder where you've bugged my Marital home?
There's a video out there of the leading expert on Pluto and Neil Degrass Tyson having the same argument. Pluto really should be a planet (as should at least most of the rest of the dwarf planets).
Not really. I mean, it is not important first of all - scientists use those classifications (and that's all they are) just so they would have a bit more orderly lists. There is no real scientific reason behind those, because they highly depend on the definition. There are probably more similarities between Pluto and Mercury than Jupiter and Pluto or any other rocky planet. Important distinction is between stars and other orbiting bodies. But between various non-star objects that orbit around a star? Not really.
There is no different science involved - therefore it is scientifically not important. It is just about easier data maintenance. If there is a significant difference, it is between objects that turn spherical due to the effect of their own mass, and those that don't. There is some scientific difference going on there. But between other round objects orbiting a star? Nope.
Should Pluto be a planet? As much as Jupiter should be a dwarf planet. It is just a class division for objects. You can go either way. Scientists really don't care as long as you get the rest of the science right. Those classifications are just there to save us some time - nothing more.
And in case of Pluto, it does save you time if you call it Dwarf Planet and not a Planet. Because if you say it is a Planet, you need to add a few other parameters to fully explain its position and characteristics. While a definition of a Dwarf Planet fits it much better and you have less explaining to do to fully characterize Pluto. And that is the whole point of those astronomical classifications - putting objects into defined groups so they are easier to find and explain, without using more time than it is necessary.
And, frankly, the only people who got their panties in a twist about Pluto are certain Americans. The rest of the world does not care, we are completely fine with the scientific division as it is now. Americans care because Pluto is the only "planet" found by an American. Pure nationalism, has nothing to do with science. Same with using imperial system over metric and many other things. Because 'Murica!
He isn't the leasing expert on anything but talking about science on talk shows. Here's the reality of it, astronomers didn't want to have to admit that after saying they know all about all the planets that there are like three times as many and they don't know jack about most of them.

Imagine if there's intelligent life on Pluto that's about as technologically advanced as our medieval period. From their perspective it is the centre of the solar system. The sun and the rest of the planets is a frivolous God that likes to dance around Pluto and tell it how pretty it is.
"Are you saying I'm dumb?"
"Absolutely not, dear. New consensus from people in that field of science have downgraded Pluto. Our education is just simply out of date with what's new."
That's how you could have won the argument. lol
Yeah, in fact you are right. But my relationship experience tells me, that voice of reason sometimes does not matter 🙂
Welp I'm missing the drinking part
And that makes sense
Heartless and people skills = sarcasm
Put a * on Pluto, so to you it's a footnote that: if i == Pluto, dwarfplanet = planet, print("you're right, this looks better")
Pluto is a dwarf... what? Planet, correct!
If Pluto is a planet, then our solar system would technically have had hundreds of planets, which is why the new category was defined. But I also do not want to sleep on a couch, so...
Ah yes, Plutocentrism
Some funny shit.

When women are being ridiculous, it's ok to call them out on it. You don't need to play this game.
V good
It’s not that there isn’t a solution to the problem of “I’m fat” it’s that you need to actually understand the problem that needs solving…just like in engineering…not all problems are as easy as they seem…:-D. The easier the problem seems, the harder it actually is…do not provide an obvious solution…ask questions first…as any good scientist does…🤔😊😁🤣🤣🤣
Pluto has been reclassified as a planet, as it should.
Kudos to your wife for standing up for Pluto. I recognize Pluto as a planet too. Being a dwarf doesn't mean you are not human, likewise being a dwarf planet doesn't mean you are not a planet.
😂😂
The definition of Pluto isn't a battle you want to pick. They can always update the definition to adopt it as a planet again, despite all the other bodies they'd have to admit as well. Either way, Pluto isn't going anywhere, and no one on Pluto cares whether it's classed as a planet.
I only argue with my wife when I know it's one I can win. We haven't had one argument our entire marriage this far...
