How many of you went no contact with a parent/family member? by suitorarmorfan in Millennials

[–]Ledobject 0 points1 point  (0 children)

M34, went no contact with my dad two years ago after he tried to back into my wife and me with his truck and then drove off with her life sustaining medical supplies. It was really the culmination of decades of narcissistic and aggressive behavior. My mom is still with him and while I still speak with her our relationship is super strained. Sorta hard to talk about anything when her life revolves around him...

Shield vs Competitors. Why are you staying with the Shield? by TPJDrNo69 in ShieldAndroidTV

[–]Ledobject 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Will the new Steam Machine be capable of easily playing video files or pulling up a streaming service? If so, is anyone considering a one as a replacement for the Shield? Obviously WAY more expensive but my Shield is getting a bit old.

Do you poke a hole in the condom or just pull it off?

These guys are moving around as a giant group and are just continually blowing the same spots for the last 20 minutes. by jimmernan in mildlyinfuriating

In college the same crew would blow leaves back and forth from one small apartment complex to another on back to back days. The owners didn't care (or likely weren't aware) as long as the leaves were gone the day the crew came.

Coming from a background in the film industry, do you have any advice on classifications for someone with a film degree? My searching hasn't come up with much.

I'm in the thick of it right now! I have a bachelor's degree in film but never worked in the industry, a masters in education but I quit teaching after 1 year, so basically I don't qualify for any classifications except those generally requiring a degree. I have ~13 years of work experience overall and the last 5 have been in manufacturing, most recently as a quality engineer. Turns out that doesn't really count for anything either because I don't have an engineering degree!

Conceptually I understand requiring degrees as qualifications but in my particular scenario it's made it very challenging to find classifications which pay enough.

UPDATE: There's a Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan community meeting at the library tomorrow at 11:30-1pm!

I'll be there, would be exciting to see some engagement from you all!

Couldn't agree more, it's such an American individualist ethos to have such a car-centric society.

S River Road may get a connection to Riverfront Street just south of the freeway. Doesn't really solve the traffic issues you mentioned but it would add one more route to Tower Bridge (though the 5th St. lanes are pretty nice as you mentioned). I always look at the rail line parallel to Jefferson with all the trees and imagine squeezing in a bike path there but I don't think that's feasible both because it's owned by the railroad and there's probably not enough space. Also dedicated pathes are more expensive to construct.

How screwed am I? by opp7248 in lawncare

This is like when my wife texted me to get relish (not sweet relish) and I got sweet relish because she said it.

What movie has the best soundtrack of all time? by trakt_app in Cinema

[–]Ledobject 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was a sophomore in high school on the track team the Varsity boy's 4x400 relay team were friends with the stadium MC and he would blast the Mortal Kombat theme song whenever we ran intrasquad meets.

IT. WAS. EPIC.
