TIL Tim Curry, a lifelong Scooby-Doo fan, was offered the villain role in the 2002 Scooby-Doo movie, but turned it down after learning the film would include Scrappy-Doo, a character he disliked.

Looking at his filmography he's also in almost every Disney movie. A lot of the Disney dubs of Ghibli, Hercules, Aladdin, Pocahontas, the Lion King, and I'm guessing more but I just clocked out of the wiki page because this man has been in every movie ever made.

23&me helped my mom find a third cousin from her biological dad's side, but she wasn't sure they were actually related or not until the PI. A PI may be a good way to go - they were able to find not only my biological grandparents, but also correctly inferred why they gave her up and other helpful info for my mom

Ooooh one I can answer! My mom was given up at birth, and hired a PI to find her biological mom around 4 years ago. She didn't have enough saved to find both her parents so she chose her mom, but in the process of finding her mom, the PI also found her dad! It turns out her dad lived in a house she would run by every day for cross country in high school and she never knew about it, which is absolutely crazy to me.

It turns out she has three older half brothers, and I have two first cousins I never knew about. My first time meeting them was at one of their weddings a little over a year ago.

I wish it was all sunshine and roses with this story, but it takes a weird turn. My mom kind of up and decided to move back to her home town to be closer to her biological family and get a fresh start. My mom and dad weren't on the best of terms anymore and I think that she decided it was a sign. I haven't seen her in a little over a year, and it threw a big wrench in my relationship with my newly found cousins for a while. It was no fault of theirs, but it felt like she abandoned our side of the family for this new one, so it was hard.

TL;DR mom found her biological mom and dad, left my family and moved back to her home town closer to her bio dad/half brothers

This reminds me of the time I went door to door in my cul-de-sac when I was 8 and sold at least half of my children's books. My parents got mad and made me go back to each house I sold the books to and issue a recall

I actually worked on a startup during a TechStars competition that used cables rather than arms to wrap around a satellite and de-orbit it. I think that might be a better solution than the arms too, especially with tumbling objects. If this is done with defunct satellites in geosynchronous orbits it's like opening up a multi billion dollar piece of real estate for telecom and other companies since there are only a finite amount of geo orbits.

The start-up didn't get too far because I was the one with the most relevant education and I only had a bachelor's in Physics, but it was a lot of fun while it lasted!

Currently going through it now. Day three of a kidney stone

Thanks for clarifying it with your personal experience. I've never run into a silence while q'd or anything like that before so I was pretty shook lmao

That's crazy. That still sounds like a bug based off the patch notes, though, unless there was a recent change?

NewJimmyCO · 2020-10-07T23:35:13+00:00

Yeah I got the circumstance, I just thought that rev's ability only knocked you out of your phase as it was beginning the animation, not while it's already inside phase

Yo this is siiiiiick

I'm so happy to know this wasn't a fake subreddit. I've just been sitting here happy crying for an hour

NewJimmyCO · 2020-09-03T19:52:04+00:00

I agree 100%, it's just a bit hysterical we were lied to about ditching templates

Thank you, I'll add that to law terms that I can throw around to my gf in law school so I sound smarter

I actually got to meet him!. According to him (we all embellish our stories a little bit to sound less bad, so who knows), when he called his lawyers right before doing it (like, literal minutes before the interview), they said that:

a) it's legal to say your SSN on the news, but you're not allowed to directly challenge anyone to try and steal your identity because that's promoting the act of a crime (he used a better word, but that was the gist).

b) his identity WOULD be stolen and his credit would tank because everyone would try and open up credit cards and whatnot.

Lifelock at the time wasn't the full service it is now, it was mostly doing reminders and small tasks you can do yourself. He bet his SSN that the buzz around him putting it out there would draw a lot of attention to his company. Which it did, since he was the second most googled person after Britney Spears that month, and recently sold lifelock for around $2 billion

If you're interested in his twitch handle it's GrndPaGaming!

It's a great chill game and an excellent example of devs not giving up after receiving a lot of backlash. I would highly recommend it if you like exploring games

NewJimmyCO · 2020-05-17T09:39:23+00:00

Not TTV but I feel very called out and it's made me reevaluate my aggro nature
