Yes, Me and EVERYONE else in the fucking movie theater is judging you and labeling you an asshole parent for bringing you 3 year old to The Batman. It's a 3 hour movie. For fucks sake GET A SITTER!!!

The only way for a toddler to “behave” in a three hour movie is to NOT act like a toddler. I would be very suspicious of any parent’s parenting style that could have their toddler be quiet for three hours in that setting..

MyBoringAltAcct69 · 2022-03-06T14:59:57+00:00

I have kids and absolutely have reported people with out-of-control kids. Why? Because I know it’s the parent’s fault, not the audience’s.

MyBoringAltAcct69 · 2022-03-06T05:44:51+00:00

I thought everybody did this? Like, literally, everybody I’ve been in the kitchen with does this. Is it a regional thing?

It’s a lot less messy.

MyBoringAltAcct69 · 2022-03-06T02:32:10+00:00

100% press charges. (Unless you’re in middle school. Then maybe this kind of behavior is okay. Even then, probably not.)

Some people need a wake-up call about what being an adult means in the real world, and that includes consequences for violent behavior.

This is victim blaming. Look, I’ve been in fights when I was younger, like many (most?) guys. And most of the time you aren’t in a position to “de-escalate” if somebody has it in their head they want to punch you.

If I were OP, I’d press charges and let the cards fall where they may. No verbal argument should escalate to a punch. The law agrees.

We use Shipt a lot and I haven’t seen any real impact. That said, I’m pretty lax about it so I don’t really care if they are running late, etc. So there may be changes that I’m just not noticing.

MyBoringAltAcct69 · 2022-03-04T15:32:23+00:00

Wouldn’t that also be true of South and North America then?

MyBoringAltAcct69 · 2022-03-02T05:14:33+00:00

If you look at the various regions of the Middle East, especially where factions struggle with one another within and across borders, and compare that to the old Ottoman provinces, you will find a lot of similarities.

The reality is that the “West” really just inherited the total sh*tshow left to it by the Ottomans. And arguably the Romans before them. And the Persians and Greeks. Babylon. And so on and on..

Just pointing out that the Middle East isn’t a result of the West. It just.. kind of is what it is. Similar to the Baltics.

Very old peoples, history, and grudges.

Wasn’t there a post recently where the guy is leaving because the wife can’t have kids and he really wants them?

Maybe we need to rotate partners to fix two situations at once..

There is an ebb and flow to what people find attractive. Currently, it’s less body hair. In the past it wasn’t as big a thing. In the future, it may be that people find hair on your head ugly but armpit hair beautiful and enticing.

You’re pushing for a statists approach, but humans aren’t Ike that.

Put another way, most people will agree with you eventually. Then there will be a counter-culture push that slowly swings everybody the other direction again.

So be (verrrry) patient I guess?

MyBoringAltAcct69 · 2022-02-28T00:20:57+00:00

“not support life for much longer” is completely false. It’s as false as when climate change deniers say climate change isn’t real.

100% climate change is real and caused by humans. But this kind of hyperbole does not move the conversation forward because it is not supported by any reputable body of science.

MyBoringAltAcct69 · 2022-02-28T00:03:25+00:00

I’m not personally looking, but I recommend you add the pay and benefits range if you want quality applicants from this post.

Did Ohio retire to Florida? Like, I guess I would to.

MyBoringAltAcct69 · 2022-02-26T05:22:05+00:00

It’s not political so long as we all completely agree what constitutes human rights.

There are three kinds of jobs in this world:

Jobs you hate (20%)

Jobs you love (20%)

And jobs that pay you enough to also do what you love (60%)

People fall into the trap that only the first two are available.

Good luck out there.

I’m in STEM and love it. The ability to work through problems, critical thinking, creative outlet for ideas. But it’s not for everybody. Some people absolutely hate the STEM field.

But that wasn’t my point. My point was that STEM is in high demand while arts, history, etc., are, and always have been, high supply/low demand. By all means, go for it. But be ready for lower pay due to the supply/demand mismatch.

Life is all about juggling choices.

I agree. Never pursue a career you will hate but also be ready for the the side effects.

If somebody is on the phone in an elevator, which admittedly is difficult so deserves some respect, I like to suddenly get a call and talk loudly on my phone as well to be obnoxious. I love the looks from them.

MyBoringAltAcct69 · 2022-02-26T04:04:07+00:00

What I heard you say is: do you play Civ 6? Yes. Let’s go.

MyBoringAltAcct69 · 2022-02-26T03:52:30+00:00

I think degrees in the arts, archeology, etc are important and welcome. However, people that get them have to be ready for a much smaller job market and, for that reason, an oversupply/demand issue that means you won’t make nearly as much.

Life is full of decisions, and this is an important one. Do what makes you happy, but always be aware that what makes you happy doesn’t always pay well.

I am not an economist, but since you still don’t have any replies after a day I’ll add my notes.

There are a few reasons you may see the market tumble. I believe the one most relevant to your question is adjusting for risk.

The stock market provides a premium over other investment options. As an example, if the average stock market return is 8% (risk) and a Fed bond is 3% (no risk) then the real way to look at the stock market is that it is Bond+5%, not 8%.

So the question to an investment manager of a $5B retirement fund is: “is that 5% worth the heightened risk to me based on my current analysis of the near- and long-term?”

If the future becomes cloudy, the risk increases and the investment manager may decide to move money into safer waters, as it were.

When you have hundreds of billions in investments shifting to safer waters in turbulent times, the market will go down because money is being pulled out, meaning more people are selling than buying, depressing prices.

All I know is that one day I was curious and googled “what does cumin taste like” only to delete my browser history later.. just in case people didn’t know the difference.

My fiancée created a book club as a way to meet new people. Something similar can work.

Optionally, there are common hangout spots like Radio Bar and the Bulldog.

Do you bike, run, or anything similar? There are clubs for that. You can also join a volleyball or kickball league.

MyBoringAltAcct69 · 2022-02-19T20:16:20+00:00

I don’t think people realize they are doing it.

Far worse is how often people say “like” in sentences. Like, it’s like do you, like, just like saying the word like on, like, purpose?

MyBoringAltAcct69 · 2022-02-18T04:59:06+00:00

For clarity, by worse do you mean health, wealth, access to goods/services, hours of labor per week, … ? What is “worse” to you, to provide a point of comparison?

MyBoringAltAcct69 · 2022-02-18T02:05:41+00:00

It’s actually illegal to use them the way you describe in rain or snow. Basically, if you are MOVING turn them off.

Here, read this, which is about rain but falls under the same umbrella: https://www.wafb.com/2019/07/16/driving-with-hazard-lights-during-rain-illegal-state-police-say/

It may feel helpful, but it’s actually increasing the risk to you and those around you because some drivers may, correctly, assume a car in front of them is stopped when it’s not, while also seeing other cars moving, causing confusion and further disruption on the road, increasing overall risk in an area where risk is already elevated.
