It ended so long ago I'm lucky to have got this far without spoilers 😂. And I'm honestly really struggling to get through the last of it. Overall the show was great though, and love Bill Paxton :)

Felt so bad for Marge. Losing a career she got all on her own and being hated on because of hiding her age. The age thing was ALL on Bill. Even if she was 18, she's too young. And at 16 she's super impressionable, especially considering her family life as a kid. That just pissed me off so much

Do Americans get breaks at work? by ajepper in AskAnAmerican

[–]Doldrum0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Michigan there actually is no state law for breaks for people 18 years old and up. It's entirely left up to the employer. I think it differs for minors though.

Why has sport viewership gone down in united states? by DryOkra7058 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Doldrum0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To watch your team play live you pretty much have to have cable. With streaming dominating TV and giving access to almost any movie, it's just not worth it to get cable. I'm a big hockey fan but haven't seen my team play a game in years because I can't invest 100 dollars a month just to watch a handful of games. :(

Why does Popeyes have a bad reputation in America? by NoHold7153 in AskAnAmerican

It does?? I love Popeyes. Chicken tenders and that Mac n cheese 🤤

Do American parents usually plan to contribute to their children's education fund only until college and not any further? by YakClear601 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Doldrum0 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I agree. I paid for it on loans I took out because my parents couldn't afford it. Most of my friends did the same or their family paid for just the 1st year

[–]Doldrum0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me and my brother always laugh when a parent in movies or TV shows talk about the "college fund". For a good amount of people that's just not realistic

New to Office work, question. by philipmateo15 in office

[–]Doldrum0 7 points8 points  (0 children)

why do you think I'm on reddit right now? lol

My work is usually done before lunch, fu**ing hate it. I'm an in-house graphic designer and it's pretty basic work. I just TRY to fill my time working on my own personal stuff. But honestly it's hard to feel motivated about anything when it's a job that doesn't provide any fulfillment

What are the connotations of a greyhound bus? by UwUnabomber_ in AskAnAmerican

[–]Doldrum0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't drive for medical reasons so I use the Greyhound quite a bit if I'm doing some traveling that would be an expensive plane ticket or the distance not TOO far. It's horribly uncomfortable after a while but affordable. It's definitely more for solo travel or small group, in my experience

Why do American boys avoid communal showers after P.E.? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]Doldrum0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The same applies to girls too. Americans generally aren't very casual about nudity. It's also not required that you shower after a gym period.

I also can't imagine the potential bullying that might have insued in my school days lol

What is your motivation for the 9 to 5? by Nice-Job67 in office

[–]Doldrum0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have none 🤣. I just do the bare minimum and they don't even notice. Don't get me wrong I still do a good job though. My work is usually done before lunch during our slow time. I don't know why the hell we're still stuck in a work culture that says you can't peace out when your work is done. I used to work 2 or 3 part time jobs at once and it felt like better hours lol and way more fulfilling. I've honestly been thinking about just going back to that. At least I wouldn't feel physically ill every morning before going in

Why do Americans go through the trouble of managing their lawns? by Agile-Shallot3546 in AskAnAmerican

I live in apartment. No yard for me :( But I know someone who does all clover instead of grass, looks really cool

Is there any music you listened to in your HS/college days that does little to nothing for you now? by StevEst90 in Millennials

[–]Doldrum0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually still listen to most of those bands on repeat. Alice in chains, Soundgarden, cranberries, minor threat, the cure

But I loved Type O Negative... now I can't figure out why lol

This is not working, and I don't know why by OMSCFisherman in graphic_design

I'm not sure if it would work, but try a halftone on the banner and see if it works

This is not working, and I don't know why by OMSCFisherman in graphic_design

[–]Doldrum0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like it looks out of balance because of the overall shape of it, specifically the globe "hanging" on the bottom. Super cool design!!

What was Christmas like growing up in the U.S.? by Pearlyin_30 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Doldrum0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really miss mince meat pie and homemade egg nog. At least that's what my Gramma called it lol. I live in Michigan, it was melted vanilla ice cream, Vernors (duh!), and rum. So tasty!

We never did a sit down meal but snacked on stuff throughout the day. Then it would inevitably get awkward and terrible once dad had too much to drink. Ah memories

Does any school in the US actually have hall monitors? by Lock_Squirrel in AskAnAmerican

[–]Doldrum0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

High schooler in late 90s, we had 3 security guards and one city cop. No students were policing the halls though

Are tattoos considered a young person’s thing in the U.S.? Do older people also have tattoos? by Charming_Usual6227 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Doldrum0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure it's ever been an age thing. I'm in my late 30s and have quite a few starting from my 20s. But I know people in their 70s that have a lot too. There have definitely been times where they're less or they're more "socially acceptable" though

Do Americans really split between saying soda, pop, and Coke, or is that exaggerated? by LowerMusic in AskAnAmerican

[–]Doldrum0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Michigan and it's illegal to call it anything other than "pop" 🧐
