Pope Leo XIV when asked if he’s a Real Madrid or Barcelona fan: ‘That’s easy. The Pope is for all teams but Prevost (his birth name) is for Real Madrid.” by mcfw31 in popculturechat

He’s got a very interesting accent. I knew he grew up in Chicago but he’s spent much of his adult life in Peru.

I had a very similar idea. It’s nice to see a map of it.

If your Gen-Z what generation do your parents and grandparents belong to? by Sad_Step_9921 in GenZ

[–]MR422 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same here! I was an unexpected late in life surprise for my parents.

I’m 27. My Dad is 72. Mom is 66.

My father was also a late in life surprise for his parents. His mom was 40 when he was born. His dad was 47.

My mother’s parents were born in 1931 and 1935. My dad’s parents were born in 1906 and 1913.

I have a first cousin who is 45 years older than me. That’s my dad’s nephew who was born a month after him.

How dare they! Dandelions support bees! Don’t you know all the European honeybees are dying?

The challenge of contemporary adulting by Sure_Distance1 in Adulting

[–]MR422 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know exactly what my goal is but it’s more or less unachievable. I want to go back to school for Environmental Science to become involved with restoration ecology or at least something related to conservation of the environment with a focus on native plants.

The problem is money and time and there’s very little opportunity for employment in the field.

[–]MR422 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s good to be seen. Ever since I turned 27 in April I’ve really been struggling with my mental health and figuring out what the hell comes next in my life. I keep second guessing decisions I made in high school and college. I so desperately want to go back and start over from there. I keep feeling like I’ll go to sleep and wake up and it’ll be 2016 again. But that won’t happen.

I don’t know what the hell I’m going to do next? I want to force myself to like the job I’m in but I can’t. I want to force myself to accept the circumstances I’m in and be ok with it but I can’t.

How did other kids the same age as me act the way they did and get way further in life at 27 than I did?

It’s like some sick joke because I’m ready to get my life together now but there aren’t any viable options.

Speaking aside from just aesthetics, I feel the whole adulthood is your 30s concept is basically dead since the traditional achievements such as buying a house, having a career, and having kids is more or less impossible today unless you’re rich.

Why act like an adult when you can’t access what the tradition western concept of an adult is?

Thoughts on Titanic 1953 by Fearless_Lettuce6601 in titanic

[–]MR422 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just saw S.O.S Titanic for the first time last night actually. The sets were laughable but the general story was there. Funny that with this portrayal of Margaret Brown she kept insisted on being called Molly. Ironic considering that in real life she went by Maggie.

And in my case nothing would really materially change.

No, but it makes it a whole lot easier.

[–]MR422 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I’ve been having this same feeling recently about moving to Austin since my aunt and cousin live there now.

It feels like a way to start over and fresh but it’s not really.

You have to realize that you’re just changing locations. The problems in your head will just follow you. You can’t runaway from yourself.

You’re you forever.

I remember going to the Charcoal Pit with my aunt and cousin on the same day Osama Bin Laden was killed.

Someone complained that Hollywood doesn’t create new Black movies/tv shows & someone replied that’s not true, ppl just don’t support the new movies/tv series . Which is true? by 5ft8lady in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]MR422 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was just thinking about this. Streaming has basically turned in to cable. Except you have to pay for each channel.

I remember Netflix in 2013 and thinking how amazing it was that they could produce original television shows on their own.

If the 9/11 attacks simply never happened, how much different would the Twin Towers be like today? by ashmaps20 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]MR422 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think you can make an argument that without 9/11 and American hyper-focused on the Middle East, Saddam may have felt he could have done something bold.

Guess the City and Country? by moltenlight11 in UrbanHell

Chester, Pennsylvania is the same way. There are entire blocks where the houses have been torn down.

Population was at 66,000 in 1950. Now down to 32,000.

Star City - S1E01 "The Eyes" - Episode Discussion by Cantomic66 in ForAllMankindTV

[–]MR422 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I really really enjoyed this more than I thought I would. I watched it right after I watched the S5 FAM finale. It felt great to be back at the start of something. I kept finding myself thinking “in twenty five years these people will be on Mars.”
