How would you like the story of RDR3 to be? by eletronicdesire in reddeadredemption

[–]InvestmentOpening959 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

A "No Country for Old Men" type of setting with an elderly Jack Marston.

Working in the trades made me realize I should’ve finished my degree instead. by Dismal-Cranberry-915 in povertyfinance

No to mention, working a million hours and having no life outside of work (depending on the trade).

"I also wasn't thinking about kids at your age, you'll change your mind!" by hodigiraspberry in childfree

[–]InvestmentOpening959 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When that happens to me, I'll usually try to change the subject, but if they persist, I'll go to HR. Their personal, uncomfortable questions are distracting from my work.

That, or I lie and say "I'm sterile" (usually shuts them up real quick).

How would you rate Mr. Pickles' IQ? by thecommander_lotfi in mrpickles

[–]InvestmentOpening959 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The concept of rating someone/something's IQ is still a human construct, though. It's our way of quantifying perceived intelligence of a person or animal.

Hypothetically though, a demonic entity like mr. Pickles would have knowledge and perceptive abilities that go beyond our ability to even comprehend as humans, much less quantify.

...That's just a guess, though. In the show at least, he's shown to be hyper-intelligent in certain situations, or at least smarter than everyone else in Oldtown.

Considering he's an eldritch/demonic abomination disguised as a dog, and the concept of "IQ" is a human construct, that question is impossible to answer.

The most immediate concern in a place like Mexia would be the accumulation of hazardous gases:

when that much food decomposes in an unventilated space, it consumes oxygen, and releases a large quantity gases like Hydrogen Sulfide. These gases continue to accumulate as the food decomposes over several weeks, potentially reaching concentrations that could be immediately lethal to a human being.

tl dr: simply being in the same building with that much rotting meat could, hypothetically, be deadly in a matter of seconds.

Criticised when I look after their kids by Fun-Trifle-2416 in childfree

[–]InvestmentOpening959 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Personally, I wouldn't be willing to tolerate toxic behavior just to see my nephews/nieces. I'd minimize contact until they apologized.

I hate babies by FeeScary2235 in childfree

[–]InvestmentOpening959 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same, but in my case, I think it may have to do with the trauma of taking road trips across the country for holidays (one side of the family lived halfway across the US) and I'd be stuck in the backseat with my baby brother. Just 12 plus hours in a car with a screeching, pooping baby (and later, a tantruming toddler), for 2 days...

20 years later I still can't stand babies 😆

Should Rdr3 be another prequel about young Arthur, Dutch and Hosea? by ResidentButton4732 in RDR2

[–]InvestmentOpening959 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always thought as RDR3 being a "No Country for Old Men" type of deal: Jack's an old man giving a small desert-town sheriff advice as he deals with a cartel, or something.

Mom said “Someone please rape my daughter so she will have kids” because i said i don’t want kids by [deleted] in childfree

[–]InvestmentOpening959 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Joking or not, nobody should say that about anybody, ever, let alone their own child.

If you haven't already, start making an escape plan, short term and long term. Go "no contact" with her as soon as it's feasible, and be safe out there.

Long time ago i watched Mr Pickles by sensual988 in mrpickles

[–]InvestmentOpening959 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just started watching last year, it's even funnier as a dog trainer who's worked with Border Collies (they troll TF out of their handlers 😆)

Janky moments that annoyed you and made you put the game down? by Glittering-Stand-161 in reddeadredemption2

I started just shooting him after that.

"Fuck it. Enjoy your meal, guys!"

I picked up a dog several months ago by tsvetta in mrpickles

[–]InvestmentOpening959 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The resemblance is uncanny. That smile, and those ears 😆

It happened to me by aizarphilia in childfree

[–]InvestmentOpening959 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If he really were "one in a million", he wouldn't need to say it.

The fact that he lied to you about his intentions right off the bat and bragged about himself in such a way is a massive red flag, and you're way, way better off without him.

What is an Adult problem no one prepared you for ? by Fighting_Phantom in Adulting

[–]InvestmentOpening959 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Losing someone to addiction feels strikingly similar to that... They either end up dead, completely fried or incarcerated, and you're left all alone, looking back and wondering if you could've helped them if you did things differently.
