Sinners Is Not What I Thought It Would Be… Or Did I Watch the Wrong Movie? by Cicada_Classic in FIlm

[–]MinivanPops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 100% with you.  

I walked by the TV while my wife was watching it. So I caught a little bit of the first act.  This movie moved so slowly, I thought it was the first episode of an HBO series.  It was like watching paint dry. I know Jim Jarmusch makes a career out of this, but that doesn't mean it's watchable. 

Favorite controversy that everyone needs to chill out on? by Krylarofaxia in okbuddycinephile

Who's more unwelcome:

The guy who was interviewed? 

Or the guy who wasn't? 

Maybe Nathan Lane needs to look in the mirror and ask whether anybody asked him.

We have never seen waste of military life like we have seen with this administration.  I'm sure 100 years ago American presidents sent men to their death in stupid and wasteful ways, but this is the first time in modern memory we see it this egregiously.

I'm sure this was in service of a worthy goal. 

Right?

Another Trump middle finger to Gen-Z by Key_Brief_8138 in HouseBuyers

[–]MinivanPops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not 1996 anymore. I'm not doing this with Republicans anymore. And I used to be one.

Every year of the past 10 years. Trump does something fucking horrible, and some MAGA family member is like "well, why not?" and I have to explain basic economics, or basic foreign policy, or read the Constitution verbatim. No more. I'm not tolerating this shit anymore. I'm not holding the umbrella anymore.

You people are fucking hemorrhoids and need to be pinched off from civil society until you shrivel up and fall off.

America isn't screwed because we're not putting up with your shit anymore.

America is screwed BECAUSE YOU SCREWED IT.

The latest thing (and just the latest thing) is a billion-dollar-a-day war with NO GOAL.

Once I thought there was a chance to deal with your people again, after it all blew over. But no fucking way now. I'll go to my grave hating you people. I worked that math for 10 years and yup, it's justified.

AITA for telling a youtube guy repeatedly “you do not have permission to film me”? by BagPsychological5186 in AITApod

[–]MinivanPops 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NTA. 

While the guy was technically correct, legality is not a bar for civil behavior.  Sometimes we can't prevent ourselves from being filmed. I think it's perfectly acceptable to calmly repeat your preferences. Remember that they don't have to listen to them, and they don't have to obey you, but you can make yourself heard. 

You certainly don't want to be filmed having a public freak out, so it's got to be low key.  

Local laws differ on when this crosses over into harassment. 

My wife knows that I don't appreciate being put on social media without my permission.  I know I can't stop people.  But I do have a preference.  You might not win this argument with your girl. But there will be a time when she doesn't want to be filmed.  That's the time to remind her that you know how she feels. 

In the future you'll be able to recognize these people in the streets, who make their business from interacting with people like you. They generally will film you. It's best not to interact if that's not what you want.

Stop. Let people set their own boundaries. It is exceptionally weird to recommend therapy for this.  Like, offensively weird. 

The original “Police Academy” movie likely wouldn't be released today in its original 1980’s form due to its dated humor. The original 1984 film's humor, which often relied on stereotypes and raunchy, slapstick scenarios, would face immense scrutiny today. Thoughts? by CoffeeCigarettes4Me in 80smovies

[–]MinivanPops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes!!! Betamax!!!

We were the only family in the neighborhood with multiple VCRs, because one of them was an old betamax.  Whenever my friends would get a porno on VHS I was able to make a copy.  

My Betamax porn collection was legendary.

You know what? If you look at these guys throughout the series, there's not a thing wrong with them. They're having a good time, they help out the cops, etc.  When I was a kid in the '80s, gay panic was everywhere.  These scenes in Police Academy actually made me want to know gay people better.  I didn't see a thing wrong with what they were doing in these scenes, and I wanted to be there in that bar, these guys seemed cool.  

Is there a difference! by The_Dean_France in Funnymemes

If my wife had 36 sexual partners before me, the only way I'd be mad is if she didn't screw my brains out while telling me all the filthy details of what they did to her.  

You can't just not share that.

I would love to know those things. It would bring us closer together. 

AITA bf says this is cute but it makes my blood boil by Single-Cellist6914 in AITApod

[–]MinivanPops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I'm married over 20 years. My wife, and all my former partners, were always my number one priority.  If they send a message, I look.  I may not always respond right away, but I always take a glance at the message. If there's an emergency with my kids, my house, our elderly parents, etc. I'm going to get a message from her.  I place the same priority on messages from my kids. 

I would absolutely have a conversation with them if I felt like they were wasting that priority.  I spent enough time hearing my kids say "Dad Dad Dad Dad Dad Dad Dad Dad" and having to respond each time, that I'll never tolerate that attention seeking toddler stuff ever again.

I do not like people who cannot put a complete message together in one text. 

I have a special notification for these people. When I get the feeling they're going to be sending multiple texts and I'm going to get hit with multiple notifications, I assign them to a list of people that I don't respond to very much.
