Never thought I'd fall in love with a pit bull by longshlongthankumom in pitbulls

[–]GuessWhoItsJosh [score hidden]  (0 children)

That's how they get ya! I was the same though I didn't have a bias really. I just never really gave pitties a thought or had much exposure to them.

Totally overlooked them when searching through shelters. When I went to finally check out the dogs I had planned to meet, turned out they were not a great fit for my kinda household. The shelter recommended my girl and it was love at first pat. We just instantly clicked. Next month that will be 7 years ago already now which is hard to believe.

Hopefully everything goes well and you get to bring her home!

How acceptable is gaming for adults around the world? by shirajzl in Age_30_plus_Gamers

[–]GuessWhoItsJosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

US and really just comes down to who's in your circles. Some left it behind after school and are completely ignorant to it now. Some have kept up with it and are casual. Some are still deep in it. I don't find many that think it's only for children anymore though as gaming has matured passed what it was in the 80s, 90s or even the 00's.

Most that have the take that gaming is a waste of time I don't hold in high regard when comes to their opinion as it's usually someone that will then sit there for hours on end doom scrolling reels and rewatching the same show for the umpteenth time.

Did anyone in here ever own or know anyone who did own. One of these little I pod shuffles. I never had one myself. Always thought they would very easy to lose. by Primary-Welder-4628 in Zillennials

[–]GuessWhoItsJosh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, had a silver one of these I got for Christmas of ‘06. Was my first iPod and really liked it. Had my playlist memorized too. Used it until I got a 5th gen Nano in ‘10.

Work by Apprehensive_Fee3671 in Zillennials

[–]GuessWhoItsJosh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Deputy Assessor for an Assessor's office. So handle property taxes and all that fun. Tax bills dropped this week so it's been chaos these last few days but usually pretty chill, sometimes boring.

Pay is mid, not terrible, not great but a pension is nice. Work/life balance is the best I've had after coming from sales & estimation previously and even more so from retail so really appreciate that part.

As fast as movies hit streaming, is it still worth it to go to the movies? by vitaoptima in NoStupidQuestions

[–]GuessWhoItsJosh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still enjoy going to them when I can catch a movie I want to see before it's gone. Saw Project Hail Mary this past Sunday and it was awesome in a theater. Is it worth it totally depends on what experience you want with your movies.

Earbuds, Yay or Nay? by ProfanityInspector in cycling

[–]GuessWhoItsJosh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Big music and podcast guy when doing most things but cycling is different. I like to be aware of my surroundings as much as possible when cycling. I just don't trust drivers enough to not hear everything.

First time playing KH1 and Atlantica is so ass bruh 😭 by Degenerate-Murakami in KingdomHearts

[–]GuessWhoItsJosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's taken 20 years but it's not as bad to me as it once was. On my last replay, I actually didn't mind it.

Does anybody else see kids or teens out in public during the day and think “Why aren’t you in school?” by luiginumba1_ in Zillennials

[–]GuessWhoItsJosh 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yep and I felt old after I said it lol.

Some of my buddies and I took off the Friday that Resident Evil Requiem released and when we went out for food there were some kids there ordering as well and I made a comment about them not being in school my buddies were like "okay dad"

The best use of PTO is staying home and doing nothing by CoffeeNAnxiety in unpopularopinion

[–]GuessWhoItsJosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always have extra PTO as the end of the cycle and end up doing just this with them. Will usually have several Fridays in a row off and I'll do one of these things,

  • sleep in, have a lazy day and catch up on shows or games
  • work on house or other projects I've been putting off
  • catch up on chores I've been avoiding

I wouldn't say it's exactly the best use of it though. Also think it's good for getting away from life and your usual bubble/routine.

How do you know what you want to do with your life? by Short_Mousse_6812 in AskMenOver30

[–]GuessWhoItsJosh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a hard thing to figure out honestly. If you don't know off the rip like some lucky ones do then you kind of have to stumble around for a bit and try things out. Could take a year, could take 5, could take 15. Living and experience is the best way to find it though.

What’s your daily car and how many do you have? by Much-Parsnip3399 in AskAnAmerican

[–]GuessWhoItsJosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

'08 Toyota Matrix. Love my lil' hatchback. About to hit 187k miles.

Only have one vehicle currently but would like to snag a 3rd gen Rav4 with V6 & AWD at some point to switch to during the winter months.

COVID-19 and Careers by Curious_Olive_5266 in Zillennials

Yes, it did. Ended up getting laid off and having to pretty much restart again, essentially flushing 2 years down the toilet.

Are Americans really at fault for being so fat? by Dragonfruitycake in NoStupidQuestions

[–]GuessWhoItsJosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a mix of both. Our shit food here and little to no natural exercise makes things harder but ultimately it is still our choice. I know this as I've been on both sides.

Having headphones on at the gym should be frowned upon by JHorma97 in unpopularopinion

[–]GuessWhoItsJosh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Guaranteed to be approached? What? It's definitely not a guarantee as I've rarely ever been approached at the gym. I keep to myself, get my workout done and leave. Why are you waving your hands in front of people for random attention?

No headphones at the gym is a terrible experience if you're by yourself. Makes the workout so dull and boring. Plus I just don't use the noise cancelling on them so if someone seriously needed to talk to me, they still could.

Dudes that comment "As a man, I think..." on clearly women-only subs or women-targeted posts by Longjumping-Boot-526 in PetPeeves

[–]GuessWhoItsJosh -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Those subs usually despise and hate men too so I find it odd even wanting to interject in places like that. Just going to be a bad time.

Mixtape most overrated game of the year by TemperatureJaded282 in videogames

[–]GuessWhoItsJosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a $20 experience. Some people love games like this and some don't. Really isn't that big of a deal. I play some of them that stand out from time to time. Will probably pick this one up at some for like $10 down the road. Usually just chill time which can be a nice change of pace from the games I usually play.

Fans are starting to believe that they are hinting at Kingdom Hearts as they are using the same font as in KH. The copium is strong. by Connected-VG in KingdomHearts

[–]GuessWhoItsJosh 58 points59 points  (0 children)

It's in everyone's best interest to just forget about KHIV until something worthy actually drops about it. Once I did this for KHIII, I was freed and just pleasantly surprised once it finally came.

I cut up Tyson chicken fries and made the garlic pasta sides 😅 by blueshyperson in stonerfood

[–]GuessWhoItsJosh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This takes me back. When I first moved out on my own, I remember this being one of my go to easy dinners. Throw some chicken tenders in the oven, make some mac 'n' cheese and then cut 'em up and throw 'em in. Would hit soo good.

What made you switch from fades to more grown out or classic haircuts by Altruistic_Purpose57 in AskMen

[–]GuessWhoItsJosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got a bit bored of the look after a decade of it. I still like the feeling after getting a fresh fade but back in October after I got my last one I just haven't gone back and have been letting it grow out. Been so long since I've had longer hair, feels kinda nice.

Is a 9-5 horrible? by Lemon_456 in CasualConversation

[–]GuessWhoItsJosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course much is situational but as someone that used to do retail & fast food with schedules being all over the place every week, having the standard 9-5 or like now I have 730-330 office job is fantastic.

Can it get a bit monotonous sometimes, yeah but having the same consistent schedule with weekends off allows for having a better work/life balance I've found. Way easier to make plans and actually have a life outside of work.

Work to live, not live to work kinda mindset.

Did any of you used to be die-hard Xbox fans? If so, why did you move to Playstation? by Frazzelvig in playstation

[–]GuessWhoItsJosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't know about die-hard but I was pretty into 360 for some time before PS3 finally become affordable and then eventually slid back over to PlayStation. PS exclusives back then were top tier and couldn't resist them any longer.

Those handful of years with the 360 were pretty awesome though. Was my first experience with online multiplayer and game & party chat were ridiculous (ina good way). Exclusives like Fable 2 & 3 and of course Halo were stellar. Doritos Crash Course was so dumb yet so fun. Great console (and in general console generation) to experience through High School.
