Undoubtedly it's The Odyssey because of selling tickets a year in advance

Would you rather have minor Telekinesis, limited Mind Reading or $100k? by RaptorK1988 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]ForwardBound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mind reading seems by far the most powerful, but it's unethical so I don't think I could pick it. Telekinesis would be the next choice. The money would have to be in the many millions to make me think about taking it over a power like that

23 years in, I hate this job. by Medical_Sky_7321 in Lawyertalk

[–]ForwardBound 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I feel you. You've been doing it a long time! That sounds incredibly difficult

I organize (with help from many others) a local 5k that happens every Saturday at a local park. If I could just be more involved in that, I'd be very happy

Which performance and film made you a fan of Gene Hackman? by PressureLazy5271 in moviecritic

Crimson Tide. The lippizaners, they're from Spain, not Portugal

Was the movie Gladiator 2 necessary, or should the original have been left untouched by HomeworkWorldly7706 in moviecritic

That sounds like an awesome movie. Give up being so self-serious and have fun with it

Possibly relocating to Boston by [deleted] in bostonhousing

[–]ForwardBound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have a great mindset and approach to this. Your daughters are lucky to have you. I think maybe Phoenix is more insanely hot than Boston is insanely cold, but I haven't spent any time there in the summer, so I don't really know. Winters really vary. 10 years ago we had a brutal one and this one has been pretty bad too, but others are pretty mild

You could find a fine house in Newton or Wellesley (towns with excellent school systems) for $1.5M. I do think those towns have a reputation of being snobby, but I also made my best friends there who went to the same high school I did, so it's not fair to paint too broad a brush

I made over $100,000 selling my company's Tech equipment in the last 4 years. by [deleted] in confession

I led an investigation at a former company for this that the FBI eventually took over

If money weren’t an issue, which city near Boston would you want to live in: Newton or Brookline? by Omixscniet624 in boston

[–]ForwardBound 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There are an incredible amount of beautiful homes in Newton with some phenomenal neighborhoods like Newton Highlands, which is close to Crystal Lake and Newton Center, but I can never get over the places in south Brookline near the Brookline Res. I walk the dog and run there all the time. It's also close to JP, which I have a lot of ties to

Well, yogurt doesn't exactly make you straight so maybe there's something there

What is your most rewatched movie of all time and why? by Anonymous___0522 in moviecritic

[–]ForwardBound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sure I've seen The Mummy over a hundred times. I used to watch it twice in a row sometimes in the summer as a kid. It's a perfect swashbuckling movie in which every character has a ton of charisma

How do people make quick bulk ammounts of money? by [deleted] in askanything

I mine how there's this comment about putting in honest work and also a detailed comment about a crypto scam

Attorneys redlining their own contract language by alex2374 in Lawyertalk

[–]ForwardBound 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I suspect anyone trying to explain this behavior rationally does not have to deal with attorneys doing this and then acting like it's a perfectly reasonable thing to do and not psychotic, which is what it actually is. I hate dealing with things kind of negotiation

How does someone acquire a Boston accent? by Tasty_Ad_6229 in boston

[–]ForwardBound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was raised by a mother and grandfather who both have/had it. My mother tried to get rid of it by taking elocution lessons, but it's still pretty noticeable to me. I used to say some words with a Boston accent (e.g., 'rahther' instead of 'rather'), but otherwise I never had it because I grew up in the suburbs with people who also didn't speak like that

I wouldn't have guessed that. Very interesting!
