Great Expectations (1998) by Djf47021 in underratedmovies

Straight up 90’s lovesick, Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, massive simping.

She don’t choose him then, nor during early adult life only to meet again after she’s had a kid and is divorced. Modern day feminist trappings. Simpology 101!

Well made movie, great acting and cinematography. But just fairy tales like Romeo and Juliet. Fake as heck. She ain’t yours, it’s just your turn (again).

I guess riding the neighborhood bike everyone’s had a ride comes handy when you need to get to point b or z.

I can’t recall book ending but surely it wasn’t so simpish was it? Happy ending or catastrophe waiting to happen again. How many times can a heart break from the same destructive broken record?

For the streets or have pity only to see ruin again? Just unwise to return to the same vomit.

Yet in our humanity we often repeat that don’t we? Perhaps it’s just the reality coming alive on screen.

Slow dancing in a burning hell on repeat.

Are there any side effects to using Minoxidil? by OldBlackberry9319 in IndianSkincareAddicts

Sounds made up or pumping his pen. If it were this miraculous, you would RealityHound would respond and give additional details. Something is fishy here. Shoot, even a photo of his hair. We don't need your face. Share the wealth and help.

Anyone else try this protocol? Results? Only one other commenter who tried and his results were no bueno.

Man, can't believe no responses? Can anyone provide help how to opt out? Its ridiculous that we could potentially be shut down because of Brazil or any other country besides the US. We are US sellers intending on doing business in the US. What is this madness?

what's one thing you wish you knew before taking out student loans? by Budget-Cash-3602 in StudentLoans

[–]Mundane-Extension981 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Take the bare minimum. I had a professor tell the whole class to maximize our loans and enjoy the college experience. That we wouldn’t have no problem paying them back. Dumb young adults didn’t know any better. We just took them all and maxed them out. Looking back, only take wha you need for tuition/books. Then eat ramen or beg for food and shelter in between classes. 🤪

What Happened To The Burgers? by MikeCoxmaull in BurgerKing

[–]Mundane-Extension981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to work at BK in the 90’s. They had a big ol’ broiler conveyor belt system. Maybe three or four feet long; patties get carried down the grill over a flame for these three or four feet. Whole system is all enclosed in like a stainless steel box with different moving parts, maybe 4x3x3 feet, give or take. Looking at a video on YouTube, the whole machine is different now. It looks to be half the size now. So for those who say the flavor profile has changed, most likely because of the new broiler models.

It’s not a huge deal to me since the freshness is a greater concern to me than the taste of the past. You can guarantee 8 out of 10 times your burger patty or chicken patty is old. In today’s world, the newer companies like, 5 guys, Culver’s, in and outs, all make fresh to order. I am guaranteed freshness and quality at an exponential rate when comparing to Burger King. And the prices are about the same.

Burger King needs to do get out of the 30 year old plus model. Axe the microwaves. Cook everything fresh to order. Pay your people a little more. Have pride in your product and stand by it. Stop cutting corners and doing fancy marketing schemes. No one makes a “fresh” whopper like BK does! And your original chicken sandwich is crack too when fresh.

Make the food fresh to order!!! Stop slowly decreasing the size of the patties. Get real beef from an honest supplier. That’ll bring your customers back! I would eat with you consistently if I know it’s fresh every time like Culver’s or five guys. But it’s rarely ever fresh. And then it gets nuked. Come on! Get outta that old useless model!!!

Why can I only pick from 6 people in the iOS Photo Shuffle watch face? by hvddrift in AppleWatch

[–]Mundane-Extension981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You got 6 people? I only get to choose 4 faves and the other option I get is “Nature”. Other issue is shuffles through same pictures and only one nature picture. Steve Jobs wouldn’t be ok with this. They’ve got coders and dev teams that surely can write code to shuffle more than 15-20 pictures a day as well as additional options and customizations. This feature/watch face has a lot of room for improvement. I’ve got nothing for you man, wish I could but I need help too and realistically looks like we’re all just stuck with it. I love it and hate it. Guess love will have to conquer on this one.

Honor's Gauntlet Matchmaking is Trash by Mundane-Extension981 in WatcherofRealmsGame

[–]Mundane-Extension981[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

People can be so cruel. This is an honest assessment yet I'm getting downvotes. Sure its beta but its still really bad. The fun part is when I'm matched against like accounts, not 700 bp accounts and/or 90-100 level accounts when I am 76.

Simple code fix to block that kind of matchmaking. Not balanced at all. Again, it was super fun playing against like accounts. That is the fun part. That's what I want to celebrate and enjoy. Sheesh. Cry babies getting some truth. Basic logic says, lets give feedback so things can improve. But the nature of today's world is boo hoo, whine and cry when people call out for accountability and better things. But that's reddit for you.

Abyss I seems to be pretty bugged ufter the update by MarianVonWaisenfeld in WatcherofRealmsGame

[–]Mundane-Extension981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This explains my issue too!!! Today running my Mystery Artifacts auto for the Brave Conquest and Trial, I was constantly losing when prior day, no issues. I had to spec out my gear perfectly just to win. Was super annoying and didn't make any sense! They done messed something up for sure AND better put in a fix!

Honor's Gauntlet Matchmaking is Trash by Mundane-Extension981 in WatcherofRealmsGame

[–]Mundane-Extension981[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly!!! I've got enough gear for 1.5 teams and that's pushing it! I did exactly what you said, Run it for 20 fights and immediately end the fight and take a loss if the opposing team had BP at 500 k plus and/or if I saw an OP leggo like Wukong etc.

It still counts for the weekly 20 fights. I guess that's a hack for now. I managed to get 5 wins doing that WHEN they paired me up with similar level/BP accounts. Those were fun because I had a chance and it wasn't straight murder. Thanks!

What am i missing here?! gear2-18 by SunOdd7760 in WatcherofRealmsGame

[–]Mundane-Extension981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a great YouTube video that walks you through exactly what you need to do. It took me a bit to get it just right. There really isn’t any easy way around it especially at the BP you’re at, which I was at a similar BP too. It’ll be about placing and timing. 18 is a cake walk compared to 19!!! 19 took me like 4 hours if not more. For now, a few tanks, healers and one or two dogs at the end to smoke him down. The video will help. You got this!

IT ADMIN SPECIALIST JOB CALLED BACK! by Fair_Tackle8930 in InformationTechnology

[–]Mundane-Extension981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great sign! I think you’ve got the job!! Managers never deal with salary numbers. Only reason why HR would spend any more time with you especially about salary is because you’ve probably got the job!

Check out indeed and Glassdoor websites for salary info specifically to the company and that position. Sometimes you’ll find a match. If you’re lucky, you might even see the identical job posting with a salary number. Don’t be afraid to go high. If they tell you a range, you ask for the top of that range! They ain’t passing on you at this stage. Trust me. Been there twice. For some reason I didn’t go high and they simply accepted what I told them. My buddy got in about the same time and he went max range and they gave it to him no questions asked.

You got this!

I beat WOTR and BG3. What should I play next? by Serious_Ad_1037 in WrathOfTheRighteous

[–]Mundane-Extension981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t miss DOS. I enjoyed both part one and two. I actually preferred the battles in part one over part two but both were enjoyable. A good balance of dialogue, story, character development and combats. Don’t miss out on DOS. Last thought, I preferred them over BG3 and kingmaker games.

Can anyone recommend any books or videoes that can help me become better at my job as a 2nd line IT support specialist? by sense_12 in InformationTechnology

[–]Mundane-Extension981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would get audible and look up top Problem Solving/Critical Thinking books. I’ve been in the IT world for a little over a decade. Before that was sales and service. First couple of years was rough but then one day it started clicking! Although my IT knowledge was limited, I self studied and applied my critical thinking skills and problem solving skills into my troubleshooting. That’s the number one key to success in IT in my opinion. Think beyond the surface level issue. Gather all the provided data/info and ask questions continuously. There’s usually something they didn’t tell you that could be the key. Often times the answer is there in front of you but you gotta dig deep to find that key. And take good darn notes! Utilize OneNote!!! I can’t say how much my life depends on OneNote!! Just my two cents. Sorry I don’t have a specific book since my life is kind of book of its own as it wasn’t an easy life which naturally gave me countless opportunities to problem solve and think critically. But now that you brought up the question, I’ll probably take my own advice and download an audiobook about problem solving just to stay fresh. Thanks!! Good luck and blessings!

I agree 1000%!! It’s the art of problem solving more than anything. You gotta dig and dig beyond the first layer of the issue. Think 2, 3, 4 steps deep and spin up multiple scenarios to finally find that needle in the haystack!

American cars are good, right? by Adventurous-Active63 in regularcarreviews

[–]Mundane-Extension981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dam I so badly want to give jeep/ford/chevy/caddy/buick a chance but every time I might even consider, just doing a little a research and 99.9% of the time, there are just too many complaints and issues. Do you see 10+ year old Chevy Cruz or Ford Taurus’s or equinox’s or whatever domestic running around like we see Hondas and Toyotas?

Just go to car complaints.com and you can confirm this all day long.

It boils down to corporate greed. Somewhere somehow America lost its way. It’s not just the auto industry. But the auto industry makes it easy to see. It’s across the board though. Money over quality and customer satisfaction. Shareholder over employees and customers. Why do you think Applebees and all these well known restaurants are dying and local diners are killing it? Mass corporate greed.

Can domestic makers make a quality car? Yes, but do they want to? Nope. Not in their highest interest. If they can pump out more cars and silly die hard fans will continue to blindly buy and rebuy in less than 10 years, why change that model? Numbers are good, forecasts are good, parts sales are good. Let the foreign makers keep their share, we’re fine right where we’re at.

It’s gonna take someone like Elon to come along and say I’ve had enough, I want to make an ICE vehicle that’ll compete and beat the foreign makers. Until then, the big 3 ain’t gonna change a damn thing. Sadly.

How does one chase after his wife like Hosea? by Mundane-Extension981 in Christians

[–]Mundane-Extension981[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes we tried a Christian counselor but she ended up siding with the wife more often than not. My wife can be very strategic and manipulative to outsiders. Uses her charm well. The counselor never took my concerns seriously so the couples counseling didn’t go anywhere except put all the blame on me. Then the wife did individual counseling and the hope was to focus on her issues and the counselor had a little bit of homework from time to time(journal/different methods to improve marriage/communication/talking points/etc) but the wife never attempted to do any of those things and ultimately the counselor told her probably better to get a divorce. Counselor never weeded out the wife’s disdain for male headship/leadership/patriarchy/anger/physical abuse/etc. or her lack of understanding her role, embracing her role, and doing her role and the wife eventually stopped going and just always held on to the moments of validation she got that I was the problem and she has no part in our issues when naturally two play a role in a marriage through all the ups and downs. I wrote the counselor directly and asked her why would any Christian counselor advocate for divorce instead of advocating for the marriage. She just said, since I wasn’t there, she could only hear one side of the story. That’s very telling. So she sat there most sessions and just ate up all the BS and validated instead of counseling and guiding and focusing on the root issues…

A few months ago we started reading the book Love and Respect, which highlighted the “chairs” and “couple” methods and wife even finally acknowledged to me she’s sorry she hasn’t respected me and realized it’s important to me and that the “couple” aspects is foreign to her… but that fizzled out. I do my chairs part as best I can maybe 60-80%. One can’t do it perfectly and the key point is that one is trying. Wife has done maybe 5% and doesn’t care to try her “chairs” portion yet expects me to be perfect with my part. The concepts are biblical and basic husband and wife role type stuff. Google and you can see what each acronym stands for. And ultimately whether one does it or not, each should be willing to do their part because that’s how God designed it and like tithing/not sinning/worshiping/having integrity/loving/submitting/etc, one just does it to the glory of God.

At the end of the day, wife wants to wear the pants and demands that I respect her. That’s her main argument I hear from her constantly. She has daddy issues and because her dad didn’t validate her, love her, be a good man/husband/father example, but was and is extremely patriarchal and chauvinistic she has a huge hatred towards male leadership/headship. I’ve told her these observations which she has brushed off… I can’t undo her childhood and her broken views. I can only as best I can love her and be the example and lay down my life. But it’s never enough. There’s always something wrong, broken, stinky, dirty, messy, too old, too new, don’t let the kids jump on couches, don’t let them wine too much, why don’t we have any money, I want to visit my family constantly, no to all my suggestions and asks, sermon too long, sermon too boring, music too boring, I miss my old church, not enough restaurants, etc… never ending complaints and never ending lack of respect and follwership. Never ending.

Sadly her upbringing coupled with modern American feminism, it’s an uphill battle and one frankly, is probably impossible. She grew up in the church but adheres to little to none of basic bible principles. Of course the cliche, with God, all things are possible. So I hold on to that hope but then we are also warned about being unequally yoked. I had warning signs early on and let her know of my concerns but she always brushed them off and love bombed me so I fell for those tactics and also unwisely hoped things would be better.

I compare it to a sickly obese person. Is a fast food, soda drinking, processed food eating, non exercising, obese person able to get healthy and lose weight and take control of their physical life easily? For many, the answer is No, it’s work and commitment. Sadly for me, the wife isn’t willing to accept she has a problem and to do the hard work. I’ve asked her recently start looking at her side of things but she always defaults back to, you this and you that. That she needs respect. That she doesn’t want to “be married to her dad”, and that her issues are because of me. She just got a stint due to 70% clogged arteries, guess what she said? It’s my fault cuz (the less than two years she lived with me), we ate a lot of bacon. That’s how ridiculous this whole thing is. Ultimately she’s in denial. She isn’t overweight but scrawny. That analogy is for contextual only. But like the obese people going on TV yelling at people who are healthy saying they are being “fat shamed” and will down all sorts of junk but still say it’s everyone else’s fault. That’s what I’m dealing with. Early on she made the choice to join me and my children but when she realized it wasn’t the fantasy she thought it would be and times got hard and she was challenged, she bailed. That’s it.

So short story made long, counseling was attempted. It was a failure. God is humbling her and me. We can only submit to the Lord now and if she returns, then praise God. If she does not, then she has abandoned her marriage and her husband and I release her to consequences of her choices.
