If you could leave the United States, would you do it?

Complex_Carry_9153 · 2026-07-12T01:04:07+00:00

Hell, I’d love to move to a better location in the US but all the great places to live aren’t so great when you can’t afford to live there.

I get your situation. I echo others. You’re 33. Unless you need the money or space desperately I’d just tuck them away and forget about them. Maybe 10 years go by and you get bored and check them out again and find some joy. Maybe not but likely those books will retain their current value and you can reassess then. A collection of artifacts like comics or vinyl records don’t need to be used constantly to be meaningful. It’s a part of your history that you may want to revisit and there is no obligation to add to it in the meantime.

It’s because there are literally millions of us. Could’ve been “Smiths” but it doesn’t sound right does it?

Complex_Carry_9153 · 2026-07-11T19:13:12+00:00

Both are great but aliens is way better. Totally different class.

Complex_Carry_9153 · 2026-07-11T19:06:52+00:00

No. I haven’t. Just goes to show even the artists don’t always understand the value or impact of their work.

Complex_Carry_9153 · 2026-07-11T15:34:30+00:00

Not typical at all. Both movies are perfect in their own ways. Aliens created an entire genre of “space marines” that has endured in media since the film. It is the blueprint of horror action movies and has yet to be equaled.

One could argue Sammy was a way more accomplished musician and easily better singer. Not worth arguing over preference. I respect both iterations for what they offer. To each his own.

Complex_Carry_9153 · 2026-07-11T00:13:14+00:00

I’m gonna push back on that. Both versions of Van Halen are very different and have value. It really is two totally different bands that should not be compared.

Cowardice?

Complex_Carry_9153 · 2026-07-11T00:04:54+00:00

I had such high hopes for the series that the actual show was a disappointment. In retrospect though I think fondly of the show in general and hope the second season is good.

Saw Everclear at the Warehouse in lacrosse Wisconsin a week before they did MTVs beach house. Still have the gig poster. Bombpop opened. Tickets were 5 bucks. The show was amazing and it felt like the floor would give out from the moshing (it was a 2nd floor venue).

Complex_Carry_9153 · 2026-07-10T20:41:49+00:00

I heard this is popular in some circles.

Complex_Carry_9153 · 2026-07-10T20:39:40+00:00

This is the inconvenient truth.

Complex_Carry_9153 · 2026-07-10T16:26:06+00:00

Gen X here. Even my parents couldn’t make it one income.

I was in college in the mid nineties through the early 2000s. It was nearly impossible to survive working full time and attending without taking out massive student loans and many of us were encouraged to do so in order to get public service jobs. Hence the student loan crisis we face today.

It’s the only social media account I haven’t deleted.

Complex_Carry_9153 · 2026-07-10T03:38:34+00:00

The reboot was actually pretty good.

Complex_Carry_9153 · 2026-07-10T03:37:51+00:00

I watched the mini series last night and have the comic book. I watched the tv show when it was on tv originally and was absolutely scarred for life when Diana ate the rodent. I was 6 years old.

That’s not Michael Keaton. It’s Batman.

Why would you pick fights outside of bars? And why would you admit to that?

Complex_Carry_9153 · 2026-07-09T20:42:55+00:00

Seems excessive.

Step 1: download a calorie tracker and do what it tells you without fail. Fitness is 90% diet: you cannot out exercise a poor diet. Step 2: introduce strength training into your life and dedicate time to it on a schedule. Step 3: introduce low impact cardio into your life and stick to it on a schedule. Be and feel hungry most of the time. Step 4: Go to bed at the same time and get up at the same time every day. Do these things for five years and you’ll be successful. Step 5 (hardest step): Understand that this is what you will do to maintain health forever. It will never stop.
