I attacked my wife on the Game of Thrones board game while she was at 6 castles and I'm was at 4.

How dare you, that's a relationship ender right there
Whether a specific colour was green or yellow. We eventually looked up the RGB value to settle it, and as it turns out it is the exact shade that's halfway to yellow and halfway to green.
We were both equally correct in the end.
So it was chartreuse.
Did you date my former coworker? I used to use a chartreuse coathanger because it was the only one of that color, which made it easy for me to spot. One day, as I was putting my coat away, this coworker started talking as if we were already mid-way through an argument. "It's so green. I don't know why you said it's yellow." Huh? I had no idea what he was talking about at first. I asked if he meant my coathanger, and I responded that I didn't know what color it was. (I didn't know what "chartreuse" meant yet.) He ranted on, claiming we fought about it once before, even though this was the first time he'd even talked about my coathanger. It was bizarre.
I think that guy had something psychologically troubling going on. I'd also seen him: ask a question, make up an answer for that question, then immediately proceed to believe the answer he made up with 100% certainty. The question? "How do those Magic Eraser cleaning sponges work?" His answer? "They use paint." I asked how it could possibly match the color of every surface it's used on, but he insisted his answer must be right. Truly magical thinking.
I also saw him watch an ad for a random product, then promptly declare that he needed that product. I had always thought of ads as something to tune out, but he legit followed them as if they were friends giving advice. I had never seen anything like that.
Was this a debate about tennis balls? My spouse and I have had this exact disagreement!
Not tennis balls, no. Quite frankly I can't remember what it was. Just the colour stuck π
Colour theory is extremely complicated and you can't really tell from an RGB value in isolation that it represent a colour "exactly halfway" between green and yellow. Colour is perceptual, not a physical phenomenon, and this has significant meaningful consequences. But I'm glad you found a narrative that saved your marriage.
Yellow is Red + Green, so half way between Yellow and Green would be what, 50% Red + 100% Green?
Like you said, color is perceptual, and not only will everyone's eyes have a slightly different sensitivity for each wavelength, each display will have a slightly different calibration for its RGB channels.
If the original color was in real life, the camera sensor would also be taking the full light spectrum and collapsing it into 3 RGB values, and the camera sensor's sensitivity/calibration will determine the ratio it converts a yellow wavelength into red and green. (Or maybe the real object isn't actually yellow, but pure red-+green light, it's impossible to tell after converting to RGB)
It also depends on the viewing device and the response curves of each subpixel element, colourspace transformations both incidental and intentional (eg colour temperature), other nearby colours, viewing environment conditions, mood and physical temperature of the viewer, psychological priming, and gott knows how many other circumstances.
My ex-spouse accused me of cheating on him.
.....with a character in the video game.
.....because I "clearly love him more that you love me!"
Whenever he'd be upset (for whatever reason), he would snap and say "Why don't you go talk to the person you actually love??" before giving me the silent treatment until he needed something.
It was the beginning of the end.
Don't miss it lol
EDIT: oh fuck, I forgot.. he actually sold our PS4 containing the game/save file completely out of the blue a few months after his first accusation, without telling me first. The game in question was "Stardew Valley". He was a shitty little man.
Wifey found your post very insightful and also funny. Despite not being funny. As we're currently in a stardew-marathon and she (being not a hardcore gamer) asked me if I knew if anyone ever fell in love with an NPC. I didn't knew, then I stumbled upon your comment and showed her π
It's funny in its own weird way! No worries.
I tried to show the game to my then-spouse, because I wanted him to play, too! He didn't want to play """a lame girl game""".
Have a fun marathon!! And keep doing stuff together! (:
What a Clint
Imagine if Clint & Shane were combined.
It was baaaaaad lol
What I'm reading is he was right on the money about the pixel character being a more appealing love interest.
Wet moldy socks were a more appealing love interest.
Was it the poet who lives on the beach? That was the only one I'd have been threatened by
Lol nah it was the alcoholic. Ironically enough, the two of them were the most alike!
At least Shane grows a little.
We disagreed for years about the color of our couch. I called it brown. He called it blue. It was a weird grayish brown colored couch, but because it was labeled "slate" when he bought it, he insisted it was blue. We then added a teal blue couch to our house which just solidified my "this is the brown couch" position. We do not, to this day, agree. Eventually we got rid of the couch.
Do you still have the picture? We'd love to see.
This is the couch up against our old mantle with painted brown bricks (we didn't do that, we were renting)
Hi, after seeing the couch I just want to say I'm not interested in purchasing it any more. I'm looking for a blue couch and that one is clearly brown. Thanks.
That looks like a reddish brown, but it's impossible to tell with 100% certainty unless you use a high-end HDR camera to take another pic (and find a way to share the RAW image file cause I don't know if any browser that supports deep color images). But as far as the s.RGB color space is concerned, there's no blue in that image.
Edit: Pulled the hex values from part of the couch; it is in fact reddish-brown (#3A2F2E), although some might argue that it's reddish-grey.
There's nothing blue on that...
Vote for brown.
A similar debate with my partner is how I'm found out I'm colorblind lol
When you say you got rid of it, is it for sale? I'm in the market for a blue couch

My ex-girlfriend worked at a restaurant and they had an annual staff party which was just a house party at the manager's house. When we opened the door and started taking our shoes off one of the new server girls was shouting at the manager "Don't call me Lonestar!" and he was like "Yeah whatever Lonestar" and she screamed at the top of her lungs "DON'T CALL ME FUCKING LONESTAR!!!" and shoved him hard, he fell backwards and landed on his ass and she screamed a battle cry and started punching holes in the drywall, busting up her knuckles and bleeding everywhere. We put our shoes back on and just left. She got fired
That's.. Not really a couple dispute, is it? Still, pretty funny lol
He had the hots for her but I guess that doesn't really count

Whether apple stems are perpendicular or parallel to the surface of the fruit.
Considering that it was about topology, that might very well be the smartest couple's dispute I've ever heard of.
Incidental Tangent to the surface where the stem starts.
approximately
At the deepest part where it surrounds stem tightly there will be an instant tangent which then immediately becomes non tangent. A G0 and G1 condition and not G2
The surface does not become a perfect cylindrical section in nature, nor is the stem itself cylindrical.
Doesn't matter, the point where stem and dimple are deepest and encapsulated would have same vector direction initially. Topology doesn't need to be cylindrical to have vectors

They had a whole stupid argument about⦠Cheese. It went from small arguing to actual conflict.
One time I was at a specialty beer and cheese shop and I saw this guy pushing a cart alone with two children. He generally looked beaten down and glum. The kids are rambunctious, heβs exhausted, wife is missing but obviously in the store with them.
He is browsing the cases, killing time waiting for his wife to come back. He grabs a small block of cheese, looks interested it and adds it to the cart.
A few minutes later, the wife returns and immediately spots the cheese block. She picks it up and screams β$10? For a block of cheese you havenβt even TRIED yet? Absolutely not.β
Then she hurled it back in the case and stomped off while he sullenly followed her with the cart and kids
Look, cheese is serious eats. And business.
And atrocity against vulnerable individuals.
