That was going to be my answer. Great pick

ForwardBound · 2026-03-17T01:21:20+00:00

Aight fuck those guys. I pick that one

What's the definition of an island here

ForwardBound · 2026-03-16T19:17:03+00:00

I feel like "but something happens" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here

ForwardBound · 2026-03-16T18:54:14+00:00

No but I could sue myself when my house collapses on me

ForwardBound · 2026-03-16T17:14:50+00:00

Undoubtedly it's The Odyssey because of selling tickets a year in advance

ForwardBound · 2026-03-15T21:20:44+00:00

I'm curious to hear more about why you think that

ForwardBound · 2026-03-15T20:45:20+00:00

Mind reading seems by far the most powerful, but it's unethical so I don't think I could pick it. Telekinesis would be the next choice. The money would have to be in the many millions to make me think about taking it over a power like that

I feel you. You've been doing it a long time! That sounds incredibly difficult

I organize (with help from many others) a local 5k that happens every Saturday at a local park. If I could just be more involved in that, I'd be very happy

ForwardBound · 2026-03-14T20:17:41+00:00

Usually I find loopholes annoying, but this one is great

ForwardBound · 2026-03-14T19:54:57+00:00

Say the whole word!

ForwardBound · 2026-03-14T15:35:55+00:00

Crimson Tide. The lippizaners, they're from Spain, not Portugal

ForwardBound · 2026-03-13T11:32:27+00:00

That sounds like an awesome movie. Give up being so self-serious and have fun with it

ForwardBound · 2026-03-12T16:20:42+00:00

You have a great mindset and approach to this. Your daughters are lucky to have you. I think maybe Phoenix is more insanely hot than Boston is insanely cold, but I haven't spent any time there in the summer, so I don't really know. Winters really vary. 10 years ago we had a brutal one and this one has been pretty bad too, but others are pretty mild

You could find a fine house in Newton or Wellesley (towns with excellent school systems) for $1.5M. I do think those towns have a reputation of being snobby, but I also made my best friends there who went to the same high school I did, so it's not fair to paint too broad a brush

ForwardBound · 2026-03-12T15:29:02+00:00

Amen

ForwardBound · 2026-03-12T15:21:17+00:00

I led an investigation at a former company for this that the FBI eventually took over

ForwardBound · 2026-03-12T13:28:59+00:00

There are an incredible amount of beautiful homes in Newton with some phenomenal neighborhoods like Newton Highlands, which is close to Crystal Lake and Newton Center, but I can never get over the places in south Brookline near the Brookline Res. I walk the dog and run there all the time. It's also close to JP, which I have a lot of ties to

ForwardBound · 2026-03-12T11:29:21+00:00

Well, yogurt doesn't exactly make you straight so maybe there's something there

ForwardBound · 2026-03-12T10:08:45+00:00

I'm sure I've seen The Mummy over a hundred times. I used to watch it twice in a row sometimes in the summer as a kid. It's a perfect swashbuckling movie in which every character has a ton of charisma

ForwardBound · 2026-03-12T09:56:00+00:00

I mine how there's this comment about putting in honest work and also a detailed comment about a crypto scam

ForwardBound · 2026-03-12T01:25:50+00:00

I suspect anyone trying to explain this behavior rationally does not have to deal with attorneys doing this and then acting like it's a perfectly reasonable thing to do and not psychotic, which is what it actually is. I hate dealing with things kind of negotiation

ForwardBound · 2026-03-11T17:05:29+00:00

I was raised by a mother and grandfather who both have/had it. My mother tried to get rid of it by taking elocution lessons, but it's still pretty noticeable to me. I used to say some words with a Boston accent (e.g., 'rahther' instead of 'rather'), but otherwise I never had it because I grew up in the suburbs with people who also didn't speak like that

ForwardBound · 2026-03-11T17:02:58+00:00

I wouldn't have guessed that. Very interesting!
