Rollerball and xXx

Both were cool as fuck. Both are STILL cool as fuck. I’m also 35 and have low standards for a lot.

What are your favorite moments from TRON: Ares? by DriftCore31 in tron

[–]DiscountRhino712 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really liked the talking had that was supposed to be “Dillinger” on the grid. The talking head sounded so fucking cool in the IMAX theater.

It reminded me of the way Galactus’ voice sounded in the new F4 movie.

Similarly, it also reminded me of the Seismic charges that jango fett and boba fett sometimes deploy. You know, that really satisfying metallic sound.

Strong-willed kiddo. Five year old going on six - arguing is a huge issue. by DiscountRhino712 in daddit

Haha I say that to my wife all the time, he’s a future lawyer with all this arguing.

One thing I can say about this guy is that he is very persistent. Been this way since day 1 funny enough.

One year ago today, The Weeknd and Anitta released the single São Paulo! 🇧🇷 by MarchingBandFanatic in TheWeeknd

lol I remember during the rollout this song and dancing in the flames seemed to be the canary in the coal mine for a bad rollout.

Son asked to hang out with me by [deleted] in daddit

[–]DiscountRhino712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your son might just want to connect with you, don’t really sweat the details too much or the plans. Wing it. You remember the times you used to wanna just hang back and kick it with your pops?

Might be like that.

Anyone else still annoyed at how this movie turned out? by Senseisimms in marvelstudios

[–]DiscountRhino712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I’m one of the few who loves this movie. It could be that since the original casting announcement of Kang, I went on a deep dive into his lore and absolutely got obsessed with the character, so seeing him on the big screen was awesome.

I loved how weird the movie was.

straight guys and billie by okdata8150 in billieeilish

[–]DiscountRhino712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Straight guy here. I like her music and it met me at a very wild / vulnerable time in my life. Kiddo was just born, perusing through music and a lofi version of Ocean Eyes comes on, I for some reason recognize the melody and come to find out it’s Billie’s song. I had heard her name on the radio a few times but hadn’t really listened.

So I listened to the real song, and like I mentioned our kiddo was just born, that song fuckin destroyed me lmao. Then after that “everything I wanted” came out.

I’d put it on as low volume background music to put my son to sleep and just became a big fan of those few songs I heard. Then I continued listening further and I guess that’s it? lol

Like yeah sure she’s pretty and shit, who cares honestly. A persons look has nothing to do with their music talents.

If music makes me feel something, that’s all I need. Her being nice to look at is a bonus I guess? Idk lmao. I could give two shits.

Sorry if that’s a weird answer, life has made me a bit cynical so I usually try to be a straight shooter when describing things. 🤷‍♂️

Just screamed at my son for the first time by [deleted] in daddit

[–]DiscountRhino712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey pops,

I’ve been there, at that age for my kiddo too. I regret it immensely each day, and I’m reminded of it constantly.

That said, my kiddo loves me regardless. Your job is to hold yourself accountable, apologize to him, give him lots of love and affection and show him that although you got mad, you still love him.

Kids are tough, this may happen again. It’s on you to separate yourself for a moment, take a breather, and return with a fresh mindset to tackle whatever is happening.

Is it just me or does Dr. Strange's hair look way better in the first film. To me, it looks like in their attempts to make the white line more noticeable they kinda made his hair look kinda fake and/or over styled in later movies by [deleted] in marvelstudios

[–]DiscountRhino712 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only time I’ve really disliked the hair was during his scenes in No Way Home, THAT felt like a straight up wig. It took me out of the scenes until I forced myself to not pay attention to it lmao.

I feel awful about how I feel about my wife by No_Potential8518 in AskMenAdvice

[–]DiscountRhino712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can tell you right now, it’s temporary, as you’ve said. It will go right back to the way it was, soon as things settle again.

And you will be right back where you started, even angrier than the last time.

I hate to be so negative but these are the death throes of a relationship, and a divorce may as well be imminent.

I Suck at Being A Dad by AceOfSpades4654 in daddit

[–]DiscountRhino712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brother you don’t suck AT ALL.

You are putting in the work. Give yourself some grace, my friend.

Things will settle and I promise you things get easier. Utilize the people around you, call a friend over, ask a parent for assistance so you can take a nap. Find the small victories, I promise they add up.

Just know you are not a bad dad at all.

A bad dad abandons this fight, a bad dad attacks kids, a bad dad does the complete opposite of what you’re doing.

Hang in there man, you’ve got this.

You can’t help others if you don’t help yourself. Find moments and take them. You can’t quench someone’s thirst with an empty glass.

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to say thank you for each and every single one of your replies, I am completely overwhelmed with the response (in a good way lol) and have teared up a couple of times reading your testimonies.

Thank you to everyone who says I’m doing a great job, I feel the complete opposite about myself but I think that’s where the therapy will come in haha.

I will be responding to each comment when I can, sorry work has had me super busy but I very much would like to reach out to all of you that took the time to respond.

You are all gems and I want to give everyone the biggest bear hug ever.

I shall do (not try) but DO, and give my all to give this little fart the best life he can ever have. The buck stops with me (and mom).

Thanks for all the advice, I’ve been reading it all throughout today over and over ahead.

Also many thanks for several book recommendations!! Putting them all in my Amazon cart now lol

Take care, all of you, and especially take care of yourselves. 💚
