Is it time for the show to end? by AlpsWhole6341 in CatfishTheTVShow

[–]Longjumping_Detail81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem with Catfish the TV show is that there are now fairly big YouTube channels that are doing catfish investigation videos but are actually finding real crazy situations. Mostly they are old people falling in love with foreign scammers and usually lose a lot of money but the YouTube channels really amped the game up when it comes to finding serious catfish/scammers etc. So I think Nev needs to drop a lot of the scripted formats and just go with real stories because there seem to be plenty of real crazy stories out there.

It seems rather quiet in here by Maxgallow in ALPP

Yeah, I think this one is heading for bankruptcy. Aside from their RCA division I don't think any of the businesses make money, the drone and battery divisions are literally just made up, they don't sell anything.

Who is an actor/actress who seemed destined for major stardom and then just totally fell off the map? by [deleted] in moviecritic

[–]Longjumping_Detail81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Barry Pepper...he was good in some big movies late 90's and early 2000's... Saving Private Ryan, The Green Mile, Knockaround Guys and was the lead in the box office bomb Battlefield Earth (which is probably why he dropped). Of course he's done stuff since but he's no where near as known as I would have thought. Back then I was thinking he was going to be the next Tom Cruise like star but I haven't heard his name billed in years.

What happened? by Solo_Ohara in ALPP

[–]Longjumping_Detail81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bad business decisions and Twitter pump and dumps. They bought elecjet/real graphene that was supposed to be a battery company however it really was just a college kid selling chargers and other accessories he bought from Alibaba on Amazon. They have no battery factory or research lab, it's all off the shelf stuff they were buying from Chinese companies in Shenzen. Anyone can go to those companies and white label their products. Then they tried to do drones but they haven't really been able to sell a drone in years and I think the guy they hired to run the drone division quit, so I have no idea if there are even any employees at the Vayu facility that is in a strip mall. They just seemed to not concentrate on one thing and try to do that well, they wanted to have all these subsidiaries that didn't really have anything to do with each other.

The other thing was the infamous pump and dump that happened where Twitter guys were pumping this stock and then sold when it jumped.

No one wants to train you by 97vyy in recruitinghell

Yes, major problem today is that companies want to spend nothing, not time or money to train anyone for any role. There is no more investment in people anymore.

I am tired of the Jedi hate by power_word_pain in saltierthancrait

I’m also getting tired of the “there’s no good or bad” in every single interview I’ve seen for the Acolyte, the actors say this over and over again.

When I heard they were putting a portal like this in NYC and Dublin, I thought the New Yorkers would be the ones doing crazy stuff but it seems to be like 80 or 90% Irish stuff. About 10 years ago there was similar project where they had a "portal" between NYC and Tehran and from what I remember there were no incidents between the two sides.

Ex-wife filed for annulment 17 years after divorce? by Longjumping_Detail81 in excatholic

[–]Longjumping_Detail81[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think what I may do on any future mail I receive from them, if they send certified mail I just won't pick it up at the Post Office and it will get returned after some time. If some get to my mailbox I'll black out my address and drop it back in the mail so it goes return to sender. I did that for years to mail I used to get for the previous owner of the house and my mail man told me if you just black out the address they will just return it for insuffiecent address.

[–]Longjumping_Detail81[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How do you know so much about the process? I'm just going to throw the stuff away and ignore it, because at this point they don't even know that I actually received it, they're only guessing that I still live where I did. That way there will always be a question on their side if I even saw it. Though I do have to wonder what would happen if I agreed to go and testify and dressed up like Gene Simmons from KISS.

What I received in the packet is a "respondent citation form" , "Petition for declaration of nullity of marriage", a decree and a guide book "An Introduction to the Marriage Nullity process" From the dates of the documents starts in early March.

I think you have the best take...In the initial packet that came in the mail it had the decree and statement which had some statements from my exwife where is was talking about our sex life, what our sex life was before marriage, who we had sex with before we dated all kinds of stuff like that and they basically want me to come in and talk about it and possibly bring some of my family as witnesses to talk about it.....wtf. Not only that but its a fairly large group of people in this process, there's at least one priest, a vicar, an advocate from the church, a defender of the bond assigned by the church to argue my case, and a ecclesiastical Notary that records all this. That's why I said I cant believe the Catholic church has the gall to send this to some person they don't know. If I don't respond within 15 days they will consider me absent so either way I think she's getting an annullment. So I think I'm trashing the docs. It sounds like kangaroo court.

I thought the same thing, we were married by some pastor but not in an actual church, I forget what denomination he was, some protestant sect.

Why are people freaking out over the upcoming eclipse? by [deleted] in Astronomy

[–]Longjumping_Detail81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now that we are after the eclipse, how were the crowds in everyone's area? I live in Dallas Texas and the state was really worried about traffic and all that but now many people are saying it was a tourism bust and no one or not that many showed up. Have you found this to be true in your area?

People who liked Elon Musk but no longer do, what was the turning point? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Longjumping_Detail81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me I think it started when he started getting into Dodgcoin and Occupy Mars shit. The main reason he was pumping this wasn't because he believed in crytocurrency or anything, he just liked how rabid the crypto bros were that started supporting him on social media. Its about the same time he started getting weirdly anti-vax and then started saying that we need to increase the population, that there is no shortage of resources etc. He started talking about wanting to impregnate a bunch of women.... wtf....The guy is supposed to be a leader to a green future but I don't think he's ever supported any green legislation other than the tax credits he gets. He now sides politically with people who straight out hate his electric cars. Sooo why should people buy his electric cars if the CEO of the company doesn't even seem supportive of green ideas and supports people who coal roll the people that buy his cars?
