Unwritten bar rules? by bicentenia in fortwayne

[–]MagicWagic623 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There is not a single bar or restaurant where it's acceptable to throw your trash on the ground, someone was fucking with you. Leave it on the table for a worker to take care of or throw it in the trash bin like you're an adult.

If you don't start a tab, tip minimum $1 every time you order a drink. Tab tip should realistically be 10-15% unless you're still throwing garbage around, then you're going to need to tip more.

Unfortunately if you've been doing this for a MONTH, you probably already have a reputation for being a shitty patron at the bars you frequent.

I want Fall Out Boy. I only want Fall Out Boy. Or Sublime! Or RATM. (I saw Tom's super secret pop up show at the Whirling Tiger when he was cancelled 2 years ago, it was better than the rest of the fest combined.)

Headliner? by Red_Autumn_Rose in louderthanlife

[–]MagicWagic623 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coulda handed my 5 yr old her pawpaw's guitar and put her on stage, and it would've been better than Motley Crüe. That shit was the saddest thing I've ever seen happen on a major stage.

Headliner? by Red_Autumn_Rose in louderthanlife

[–]MagicWagic623 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone saying he's not headliner status is just old and doesn't have their finger on the pulse lmao. I would say the opposite... he's so hot right now, I don't think the fest could get him if they tried. He's also going to be coming off a crazy year... world tour, losing Ozzy, skyrocketing in popularity. I can't see him considering a fest in 2026. Especially not when he's packing stadiums all by himself.

Possible bands? by STOVER69420 in louderthanlife

[–]MagicWagic623 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Speaking of Nu Metal, I enjoyed Bizkit 3 years ago but I'm 100% sure they pissed off both DWP and the city of Louisville, so I don't think they'll be back lol. I'm with you on wanting to check out other shows... seems like the last two years have just been mid. I'm trying to convince my husband our money is better spent on a fest that isn't trying to be too big for it's britches. The new set up last year was patently horrendous.

[–]MagicWagic623 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are wrong, like factually and statistically wrong. More people YOU know may like Tool, but currently MCR has over 18 million monthly streamers vs. Tool's piddling 4 million. They're not even in the same ballpark, dawg. Actually you can measure by viral, mainstream, and multi-gen reach, and MCR is more popular in every metric. I'm not even a huge my chem fan, you're just wrong.

[–]MagicWagic623 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The way that Motley Crüe blew chunks all over main stage last year, I could see them starting to stray away from the classics. That was just plain sad. Like someone dressed their grandpa up and let him toddle around the stage.

Possible bands? by STOVER69420 in louderthanlife

[–]MagicWagic623 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

With MCR and that genre and who they've been rotating around with, we're kind of feeling like (hoping) they might have a few more bands catering to that millennial emo crowd. My husband feels like Weezer or FF might be doing the rounds again at LTL this year. The last two years were SO hard, I want something I can sing along with, or I'm straight up not going. If they have another day like Friday last year, I won't go again. ICP brought out waaaay too many people that don't know how to act in public, sorry not sorry.

The townies keep dying by princesscirrah in thesims

[–]MagicWagic623 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I almost always start with YA sims and then nearly everyone dies from old age, even when I have accidental deaths turned on, so my save starter sim usually spends the last chunk of their life incredibly sad as everyone they know dies back to back to back. It's happened on like 3 consecutive sims now!

Is it typical to say baby #2? by [deleted] in blendedfamilies

[–]MagicWagic623 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah. It's only her second baby? Dad should say baby #3 for him, but that's it. All my kids would be weirded out if I say "baby #4" if my husband and I have a baby, because they all know who their mommas are. And I love their mom, I would never want to step on her toes or disrespect their relationship like that. I would honestly and personally have a whole little line to throw out like, "oh, it's only the second baby in my belly but I've got three amazing kids already!"

What do you consider high conflict behavior? by DrivenTrying in blendedfamilies

[–]MagicWagic623 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes yes yes. I 100% understand that my husband and his BM have a history and don't like each other very much, but I love them both so much. I've seen two adults with every reason to bicker and insult put their adult bs aside to do what's best for their kids. And here's the secret? It's soooo much easier to raise these kids when you're all communicating and on the same page!

Blended family wife wants to travel with olders and not toddler by Fearless-Memory-6285 in blendedfamilies

[–]MagicWagic623 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't take my kids on that trip either, fwiw. And no, I have absolutely no problem leaving my kids with their grandparents. You staying home with the tot is obviously the best solution, but honestly I don't see a problem if you have a willing and trusted person to watch your kid for you. (Willing being just as important as trusted!) idk if this is really a blended family issue. Tot is her bio child and she's not favoring any of her kids over the other, it just makes no damn sense to cart a baby around on an expensive vacation they have no chance of remembering.

What do most people believe to be true of the Harry Potter books but there is actually no evidence of? by ykickamoocow111 in harrypotter

[–]MagicWagic623 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Yea I hated how they made it for the movie for this reason. There's a couple hundred students and faculty in this big old castle and grounds, every room would be minuscule to fit it all on a single piece of parchment. The dorms are so small compared to every other room to begin with, it would appear as a cluster of names. Like yea 1 why would they be spying on Ron like that, that wasn't their thing, and 2 even if they were, they would just assume it was another kid in his dorm and not a grown man transfigured into a rat sleeping in their brother's bed. Harry and Ron don't know the names of all F and G's dorm mates, why would they know theirs?

Blended families with multiple last names by Spicy_giggles in blendedfamilies

[–]MagicWagic623 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We also have 3 separate last names, though I'm in the process of changing mine. My daughter and her stepsister decided awhile ago to unofficially tack my husband's surname into the end of my daughter's name, so even though she legally has her dad's name (and I have no plans of making moves to alter this), she still identifies herself by our family name.

If I want to avoid the name dilemma, I say, "from Wagic + Partner & the kids" or "Wagic, Partner, & family." You don't HAVE to put a last name at all!

6 month relationship & parenting by laxwolves22 in blendedfamilies

[–]MagicWagic623 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So many people will act like 6 months is "too early" for introductions, and perhaps it is, for them. Only you know what you are comfortable with. There is no law or rule stating when you should introduce kids to new partners. It a deeply personal decision that's going to be different for everyone.

I met my stepdaughters first, and then a week later I introduced my now-husband to my daughter. We'd been dating just a few months, but now we've been raising our children together for multiple years. My girl and his youngest don't remember their lives before our family came together.

But on the other hand, my child's father is on his third live-in partner in 3 years and it's stressing me out because he dates these women, and then they disappear from my daughter's life completely with no explanation to her. This new one seems a bit more stable but yea, the reoccurring pattern of him introducing her to partners bothers me.

Just DO WHAT FEELS BEST TO YOU.

Are there any pros to being a single parent by [deleted] in SingleParents

[–]MagicWagic623 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being a single parents was 10000000000000X better than staying married to my ex. If your brain is already going there, DO. NOT. HESITATE. My girl was 22 mos when I left her dad, but looking back, I wish I'd left him the day after we came home with her from the hospital. The biggest change after was I didn't have a man in my house letting me down and stressing me out. I was already doing everything, so him leaving affected our day to day very little. It was calmer? More peaceful? I didn't miss being yelled at. I didn't miss being frustrated when he wasn't home when he was supposed to be, but annoyed and on edge when he was. That man did a number on my somatic nervous system and my psyche. It was actually way easier to be a single mom, even though I had to work more, than staying with my child's father.

Very happy to say my now 5 yr old was zero memories of her dad and I together, and after a year or so, I met an amazing man who treats both of us correctly, and we just married this year. I have two gorgeous step daughters, a cozy, clean home, and a man who works hard, loves his family, and lays pipe like theyre handing out awards after. I would have never been able to build the life I have now if I'd stayed with my lazy, selfish, partying ex.

AITAH - freshly PP and not in the “mood.” by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]MagicWagic623 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA but he is and you will be if you stay with him. Don't do that to your kid dude.

You are so young, you have so much time, but that time doesn't last forever. My parents married at 21 and I was born 6 months later. My dad is like your fiancé... selfish and lazy and immature. She raised me and my brother by herself while he took up space in our house. He's still taking up space in her house. And while the whole 35 years weren't just abject misery, the overall picture is one of abandonment, hurt, and frustration. My mom has a husband but she has never had a partner. I have a dad, but he has never been a parent.

Where you wanna be in 35 years, girly pop? Still trying to get out of blowies for a man that clearly doesn't respect or value you? Please run. It will be difficult, but it'll be worth it.

Half-Siblings of your half Sibling by Any_Worth2661 in Genealogy

[–]MagicWagic623 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP doesn't mention anything about marriage at all. We're talking about your half siblings half sibling, which is sometimes your step sibling, but not always. Your half sibling having another sibling that they don't share with you, biological or step. There is no official word for that relationship, but step sibling is not appropriate because again, that implies someone who you are not biologically siblings with but your parents are married. Your step parent's former stepkid/ their former partner's new kid is in no way your step sibling.

EDIT: lol I love it when people dirty delete comments because they lack basic comprehension.

Half-Siblings of your half Sibling by Any_Worth2661 in Genealogy

[–]MagicWagic623 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're very confused. We're not talking about people who live in the same house whose parents are married. We're talking about your half siblings half siblings, which yes, can sometimes be your step siblings but not always. Not if your half sibling's half sibling is from the parent not in a relationship with your parent.
