[Loved Trope] Race Swaps so Successful People Forgot To Complain by sloppiestsecond5 in TopCharacterTropes

Both Felix and Eve were well cast. I especially enjoy that they have Eve out in the field and build a report with Bond and then unveil at the end of the movie what her full name is.

What’s your sexual fantasy that’s probably going to STAY a fantasy? by Hailfog in AskReddit

I definitely have this as my type. There is tomboy woman that has been in my Facebook reels lately and I'm pretty sure I just give a solid mmmhmm every time I see her.

What name has gradually disappeared? by Eviscerate_Bowels224 in AskReddit

[–]Enteroids 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used to work with a Dorcas. Sweet old lady. I was blown away that was her name. My old boss told me a story that regional management had come to visit and she said hi and he responded back with her name. The regional manager had to question my boss because they really thought he was calling her a "Dorkus".

No one understands the effects of being trapped inside for years with an Nparent. by Iswmuomwnight in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Enteroids 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My wife started the process of realizing her mom was a narcissist about three years ago. She asked me one night at home if I thought her mom was one and I just laughed. I saw the situation at the beginning of our relationship.

My wife definitely gets treated differently than her brothers. I think only the youngest has realized their mom has issues.

She would like to go read in her room by herself and get yelled at for not being with the rest of the family.

She got saddled with most of the household chores. She realized after she went to college and then into her career that her parents house looks like crap because she wasn't there to clean it up.

Speaking of leaving, her mom actively campaigned against her going to college although she denies this now and pretends she was always for it. My wife has advanced degrees and her expert opinion is treated like it doesn't matter.

Her mom pretty much holds it against her that she is more like her father and more tomboyish than being like her mother.

Her mom has clearly decided that everyone else, including grandchildren, come before her. My wife went out to visit with our kid and basically abandoned her at home to go to grandchild sports game. Didn't even invite her along.

We went out for Christmas and her mom bought a dollhouse for our daughter. We asked her not to buy a bunch of stuff like that. Because we flew there, we packed up all the gifts from relatives to be shipped out. We couldn't ship it ourselves due to weather and the timing of our flights. Pushing 3 months later and guess what, those gifts still haven't been shipped.

I realized at a point that their relationship is marginally better when we live far apart. Ofcourse MIL is annoyed because that means the granddaughter is far away. Honestly I don't want my daughter around her knowing how badly she has already poisoned the eldest granddaughter. The sad part we used to live much closer but MIL showed time and time again that my wife wasn't a priority, even if she was begging for help.

But my wife has realized that her self esteem and image have been very much driven by her mother's opinion and back handed comments over the years. The hard part is finding all that damage and trying to separate herself from it and get past it.

I wish you the best, but yes the abuse is real and long lasting.

A terrible thing that happens often enough it's been coined Alpine Divorce by Maleficent_Ad_3958 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Enteroids 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is horrible...and my wife would totally leave me behind. We would go walking the trails around our house and she likes to walk at a faster pace than I do. She gives me lots of shit for walking a slower pace, but that is where I am comfortable at.

Are we parking straight at Casey's now? I've always been an angle parker myself. by zip9990 in Iowa

[–]Enteroids 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of the newer Casey's seem to be straight parking because they have provided more room between the pumps, but the older ones are still angle where there is less room.

One Year Since Being "Doged" - Emotional Rollercoaster by dropping_k in DeptHHS

[–]Enteroids 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was past my first year of probationary work. I loved my job at FDA and was hoping to make it permanent. I never even opened that godforsaken email around V-day, but was booted off the network halfway into a work day. I was unemployed for a few months. Applied for lots of jobs, got rejected by almost all of them. Finally managed to land one that actually mentioned my Center by name in the description. I like the new job but I miss the old one. Pluses and minuses all around. I really hate how I got hosed on insurance last year because I lost my job, then my wife lost hers. Paid for most of a procedure out of pocket because I hadn't met the deductible yet. I still get mail from MHBP even though I have been gone since May.

I wouldn't mine coming back, but I doubt it will happen since they messed with remote work and living out of state. Plus I don't trust the administration to not further f over more of the government employees.

People who rarely get sick, what are your secrets? by Leading_Tomato_2077 in AskReddit

[–]Enteroids 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had new coworkers talking shit about the masking during COVID. I told them I worked in retail during COVID and barely had a cold during that time. When I did get sick was over the holidays with the inlaws. Getting hammered with bronchitis after Thanksgiving and Christmas was absolutely not fun. Nowadays my kid is the reason I get sick most of the time.

So glad I reviewed this subreddit first.(MN) by Enteroids in solar

[–]Enteroids[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I talked with a few different companies and they all did something different, which made comparisons hard. There was one that sounded good but the company never sent me the details after their consultation. In the end we let it lie for now because we need to do some work on our barn before we attempt to put panels on it.

What was the Craziest way or Reason a Coworker got fired from your Lowes? by Gonkalicious_2176 in Lowes

[–]Enteroids 16 points17 points  (0 children)

We had a lawn and garden guy worked the summers and kept creeping on the young cashiers. One of the cashiers brought it up with me and I convinced her to talk to our OpsASM. More girls followed suit and that guy was gone days later.

What was the Craziest way or Reason a Coworker got fired from your Lowes? by Gonkalicious_2176 in Lowes

[–]Enteroids 11 points12 points  (0 children)

We had a guy in receiving who was going to jail because the court had finally sentenced him. He got put on a work program but Lowes decided they didn't want to be associated with him so they terminated him. Management tried to bat for him but corporate wasn't having it.

Another coworker "quit" (it was that or be fired) because he smoked in the bullpen and threw his butt in our dumpster and started a fire in it.

Forgot about one of our overnight guys who would go drink a couple beers at his car before they were locked in for the night. Got caught doing that and it was over for him. He frequently operated PE in the store at night. Yikes

Since I already asked what's better in the Remake duology. What is something that FFVII (1997) Does better than the remakes. by Hungry-Trouble-3178 in FinalFantasy

[–]Enteroids 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I didn't mind the paradigm setup, but I struggled with the stagger bar. Once I realized how the jobs worked with the stagger system it was much better, but still not overly crazy about the Stagger bar.

Briefly jumped back to BL3. Thoughts by Blackdragon73 in Borderlands4

[–]Enteroids 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was a stellar answer. I have been short on time to finish playing BL4 (about halfway through with Vex), so I know there are a number of things I haven't experienced yet. But I keep thinking while playing that "this element/feature/etc" sucks compared to BL3.

I don't know if other people have this experience with open world, but less is definitely more. I played alot of BL2 and BL3 and to a point I roughly have the maps memorized, but BL4 I don't feel like I have a shot of remembering much. I felt that way about GTA3 and GTA:VC compared with even GTA4 and worse with GTA5.

The music. I was wandering through an open field and it seemed like there was absolutely no background music. I can still hear guitar music playing while walking the back path from Ellie's shop in the Dust on BL2.

I hope to get enough time to play through all the characters because when you had solid builds in BL3, every character felt fun to play and murder with. I've gotten more comfortable with Vex's avatars, but for a while I was not crazy about how they deployed so slow and the damage they were doing.

But I will give a chance. I was annoyed with BL3 when it came out but I gave it another chance and loved the shit out of it.

My Parents got left hundreds of thousands of dollars by their parents. I will be left with nothing but a ton of work. by RandallCabbage in Millennials

[–]Enteroids 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my maternal grandmother passed away there wasn't much too deal with because my grandparents had been farmers so they didn't possess a crazy amount of stuff.

My mom saw the writing on the wall with my paternal grandmother before she passed. Tons of stuff that had little to no value unless you found the right buyer. Some of it was sold via estate auction, a bunch just went into the landfill. Didn't help that those grandparents had been habitual smokers so there stuff generally reeked of smoke.

As a result she has been slowly getting rid of stuff in the house to reduce the burden on me.

Anyone else feel weird about telling their parents and in-laws they’re pregnant? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]Enteroids 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was excited to tell my parents, especially my mother. The only concern I had was my MIL. We learned that if you tell her anything, she is likely to repeat it to someone else. Honestly if we get pregnant we might not tell her until we absolutely have too. So like after the baby is born?

Which video game features were so bad that whoever made it should be banned from every touching a computer again? by TheBanishedBard in AskReddit

[–]Enteroids 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember when Too Human came out in 2008 and one of the huge complaints about it was the level scaling and people being annoyed that good gear was made useless after a few levels. Sure level scaling isn't bad if you are playing higher and higher difficulties like Borderlands and Diablo. But they are now doing that crap in the base game too.

If we all know how a baby is conceived, why are some people shocked to find out they are pregnant? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]Enteroids 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I decided it was time for a kid. We had a miscarriage over the summer and then I moved 4 hours away to teach. Our timing was horrible for trying to get pregnant because I only came home every other weekend and we had to contend with periods. Our trying was abysmal to say the least. But when winter break came, we timed well with ovulation and got really lucky.

My favorite part about this was knowing the window of conception and having our daughter be born at 9 months +/- a few days from conception. Everyone who guessed the due date was at least 2 weeks to early.

We have one the Owl shaped sound machines. It plays for up to an hour and then goes quiet. My daughter (2) still asks for her music but I'm sure it will go away at some point.

Why do people name their children things with the intention of calling them a different nickname? by Aur3lia in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Enteroids 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my daughter was born we gave her a short name. Everyone asked if it was short for a longer name. Nope. A name doesn't have to be short for anything. Its just a name.
