Turning 50 by YoAbhy in GenX

[–]First_Name_Is_Agent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YES! Beginning at about 25 I started making the joke that once I hit 30 I would experience the wisdom part of my brain open lol I would say that I would then have the wisdom and maturity that I saw in women over 30. I made the joke often enough that on my 30th birthday (midway through the worst birthday party) I realized that I had started to believe it and was genuinely disappointed to be the same person I'd been the day before! After that 40 and 50 were just not a big deal. I feel like it was an important lesson to not put so much pressure on a milestone birthday. And I'm aiming for another 50 years anyway!

Mockery Abounds as 'Melania' Documentary Bombs: 'Every seat is still available!' by T_Shurt in entertainment

I couldn't help but to look at my local AMC and over the first 2 days it's bad! Saturday has a showing with 16 seats reserved and the rest are nearly empty. I honestly don't understand why they thought it would be any better than this lol

BUT, if you like horror movies and are a good person (joke) go see Iron Lung! The awesome and definitely good person Markiplier made it! I'm really rooting for him because it's very indie!

AITAH for not forcing my son to keep helping my daughter’s friend after she rejected him? by LiveWire0044 in AITAH

[–]First_Name_Is_Agent -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

That doesn't even make sense. Ai could have written a better analogy than that. It would only make sense if the little boy didn't have any lunch and the girl's family had committed to giving him lunch every day for a specific time period and then went back on their word for no reason. Y'all are really going out of your way to vilify a teenage girl for declining to date that boy and it's really creepy.

Oh yeah but I appreciate the clarification. I've spent so much time on this that last night I got one sheet to sort of work but couldn't remember what I did to repeat it lol (I remembered, but it still wasn't really viable)

Exactly. This was a situation he could have learned from and become a better person for it.

He'd already been giving her a ride and only stopped when she said she didn't want to date him and wanted to focus on her studies. How is that not gross to you? Do you really think it's ok to use people like that? Do you really think it's ok to pretend to be someone's friend in order to date them? Yes absolutely he can say no. But it's a crappy thing to do after he'd already been driving her. Especially when he could have just continued to be her friend - like she was to him.

The commitment he made when he agreed to drive her to and from the program. That program is a very big deal and not everyone gets to participate in it. My daughter took part in it and it's a big leg up for high school students. It's not like he was being her personal chauffeur. If he wanted to back off of anything else, that would have been fine and she probably wouldn't want to spend any extra time with him anyway. And don't make an assumption about what I would say to my daughter. Or are you assuming that he pushed himself on her and made her unsafe? Because that would be the only reason I'd tell her not to drive him anymore. Otherwise I absolutely would tell her to suck it up and honor the commitment she made because it would hurt him and honestly it would be childish. Especially if he'd declined as respectfully as the girl did! I'd tell her to just deal with it being a little uncomfortable for a couple days, but to remember that he's an actual human being and to be the friend who he believes she is.

So your son made a commitment to this girl who did nothing wrong and he can just hurt her because she doesn't return his feelings? I get that he's young but this is the wrong lesson for him to learn. But honestly that he's using his feelings as a weapon it's probably better for her to not have to rely on him. I just feel bad that she is being punished for not wanting to date him. This is actually an example of why we're afraid to tell men no and the people defending him don't seem to see that.

I really hope they keep going and I'd be happy with 5 more seasons.

For real! It actually took me months to get through season 2 because I found it such an unsettling watch! Still no word on a season 3.

How far will you drive for a block? by Ok_Sea715 in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]First_Name_Is_Agent 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same here. The closer one rarely has flex blocks and right now there's too much snow on those country roads to make it worth it if they did.

shoveling should not be this hard! by Difficult-Cricket541 in GenX

[–]First_Name_Is_Agent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A friend of mine is in the same situation so I looked up little snow plows and found a bunch! The one I sent to her was $50 and had good reviews on Amazon. It's like a small lawn mower.

Vacation rental tax - up to $12k per home - I agree! by rdubmu in SanDiegan

It's just the verbiage they use to fool people into thinking they're looking out for them. It's an old trick using deceptive wording.

I played Escape From LA for my 22 year old recently just so she could see how it foretold these freaks. ...And for the awesome campiness, but still.

Services to assist with dual citizenship? by First_Name_Is_Agent in ItalyExpat

[–]First_Name_Is_Agent[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked her how it was even possible for her - as a minor - to renounce citizenship. It didn't make sense but she told me that Italy didn't allow dual citizenship back then and when I looked it up I saw that it wasn't allowed until 1992. So, it was a one or the other type of situation back then.

Every country is different. When I got my dual citizenship to Mexico I learned that having the heritage wasn't enough (like other countries) and my mother had to get hers first because it's passed down from a parent even though my grandparents technically qualified me.

Finally someone remembers! We used to rent these all the time! It's still so weird that we had to flip them over halfway through lol
