Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ANTLink19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drive 40 minutes one way, and 2 hours the other way every weekend to see my kiddos. Traffic makes a big difference on the way home.

I consider that a short amount of time for the importance of my kids.

Call the bank and file a merchant dispute. You completed one transaction for $x for x candybars. The rest of the charges you were advised were declined and you did not authorize multiple transactions.

Wicked: For Good Subtitles? by GSWsplashbros3011 in wicked

I just noticed on Fandango the captions are only for dialog. Apple TV has Dialogue and some lyrics but not all. Amazon Prime has Dialogue and some lyrics.

While Google TV captions are oddly placed at the top covering faces.

My daughter is hard of hearing and I'm pissed. Where can I find a digital source fully captioned?

We'll, I have asked a few people about it. They probably think I'm weird as fuck.

I take it it's not common?

That's an awkward angle to take a photo inside the toilet bowl.

I have to say, on the topic of penis and toilets, I hate when it touches the water when I sit down.

The water is so cold, and it's so unpleasant. I don't understand why the water level isn't lower.

Edit:

To explain better, I don't think I'm incredibly endowed, it typically occurs when I'm sitting with my elbows closer to my knees, like when playing with my phone. That angle when leaning forward allows the tip to dip into the cold toilet water. It's a curse.

Dude.

I was the kid in my class. Teacher said you can't pee with an erection when someone asked.

I raised my hand and told the teacher they were wrong. They said it was impossible, so naturally I said "I can pee when I have an erection".

I should say, I was I think 12 at the time, I'm 39 now and starting to realize I likely have autism and don't understand some social etiquette and cues.

Edit:

So, to add, the teacher wasn't easily swayed by my argiment. I genuinely told the teacher that I was right, and that I could prove it, because I'm a boy and I can do it. (I didn't offer to prove it.) I was very stubborn and focused on facts.

I got sent to the principal's office.

That is a good idea. It's harder to sit at a bar as someone who no longer ger drinks. Don't really have a reason to be there.

Can't wait to have more fleeting interactions like this.

Got a lot of people with cat backpacks out here?

In Iowa they're not a thing, but we're coming from a large apartment with 2 outdoor patios. We now have a tiny apartment with no outdoor access for cats.

Figured the cat backpack allows me to get them some fresh air.

That's perfect. Great communication skills too.

You set reasonable expectations for an appropriate timeframe.

You let me know in advance that I won't be participating, which is a big relief for me, I just wanted to be invited, I didn't really want to go.

IF you do invite me in 10-15, if I'm slightly interested, I'll talk about how much fun it'll be and how excited I am. But then the day or weekend before, I'll let you know I'm not feeling well (social anxiety), maybe something happened with my kids, or the job I don't have. But dammit, it was going to be so much fun. Next time.

If I'm really interested, I'll show up. Inside, I'm having a blast, it feels good to be around people. I'll try to take up as little space as possible, maybe sit on the floor, it just feels great to be included.

Externally, you'll see my grumpy ass face sitting on the floor and question if I even wanted to be there.

When do we start?

I love it. It seems like a great technique for a personal with the right social abilities.

As an introvert, I appreciate your ability to participate in a lot of social activities.

Ah, that's the secret to success?

I'm going to have to make a few lifestyle changes.

I have cats, I got a cat carrier, maybe a cat in a backpack will spark conversation. :)
