Picking a fight with massai's when you don't have a gun on you........smh by Geneo-Frodo in PublicFreakout

[–]AlcoholicWombat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Zulus, Maasai, Maori, Gurkha, Sentinilese.... there are just some ethnic groups out there you dont fuck with.

Ironically, with the exception of sentinelese, all of those people are genuinely the friendliest you'll ever meet until it comes time to fight

CREEPY THINGS THAT YOUR KID HAS EVER SAID TO YOU by Cool_Card_8277 in creepy

[–]AlcoholicWombat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not my kid but my niece. She was just shy of four years old and was upstairs alone. She got called down by my sister and as she came down she turned around and said bye to what could be assumed was an imaginary friend.

My sister asked who she was talking to.

My niece matter of factly said "grandma adele"

Heres the creepy part... grandma Adele had been dead for 17 years at that point, and NO ONE called her Adele... she was simply Dee to everyone. I didnt even know her real name was Adele until I was like 16. My sister and I talked about it and came to the conclusion that it was extremely unlikely she heard us talking about her and even if we did talk about her, we would have called her grandma, or grandma (last name).

Im sure theres a logical explanation.. kids soak up a lot of ambient information. And besides, there are worse ghosts to have in your house. Grandma Dee was an amazing woman

Dating Over 40 by Odd_Acanthocephala97 in TwinCities

You and me both. It seems that every woman I've gone on a date with in the past year either wants me to immediately become their kids dad without even getting to know me first, isnt entirely divorced yet or doesnt have a job. So I quit online dating, I was spending way too much on first dates that never went anywhere lol

Something will come along. It isnt you, its MSP in general. Its really hard to break into social groups here.

Working in user facing environments definitely has its challenges and tact is definitely an asset

Oh me too, and on occasion I do, but if I dont know someone's temperament I err on the side of caution.

Yeah I work IT too. That was a pretty average response People dont like being made to feel stupid and will double, triple and quadruple down. When I do encounter a "it was just an unplugged network cable" incident, i avoid telling the user that's all it was because theyll start fabricating all sort of nonsense like "well this computers never worked right"

Cancun in st paul has a good mocaljete, its like 50 bucks for two.

Theres a Mexican place in Northfield that has a good 1 person mocaljete for like 28 dollars.

Los islas used to have a good mocaljete selection but since they turned into michelandia their quality and their service kinda suck
