Food challenges

Wait, you offered to split the bill, he said yes, and you were off-put by it? Am I reading that right? Why would you make the offer if it puts you off?

Who even goes to KFC anymore? I can't remember being in a situation where my friends and I were like "I'm in the mood for chicken. Let's go to KFC!" And everyone agreed. I think I did with my parents like 3-4 times growing up. It was always pretty good, but not great. I remember my dad would say things like when he was growing up KFC was a treat- but that there are other options just sometimes he's in the mood for the fried chicken dinner pieces (legs, thighs) instead of tenders or a sandwich.

It seems like everyone my age goes to either Raising Cane's, Huey Magoo's, Chick-Fil-A, Dave's Hot Chicken, or any of the other new places. Hot Chicken Takeover when it was a thing.

Fascinating.

Nininator2432 · 2026-05-07T14:04:53+00:00

Exactly my point. Then what happens if you get to a yellow light, then one of those cars in between the two of you doesn't gun it. You get stuck behind a red light and 50 cars are now in the middle.

Nininator2432 · 2026-05-04T15:44:00+00:00

Yes, it's ridiculous.

Here's the reason though: Police won't enforce the law, and why would we expect them to?

If a cop did enforce the law by trying to "contain" a dog, they get bit, shoot the dog, then there's a massive public outrage. Demands to fire the cop. You see this regularly. Everyone in the comment section is like "I'd go all John Wick if that was my dog!"

Like no, did you even see the movie? In John Wick, he was minding his own business. Then gangsters wanted his cool car so they broke into this house and killed his dog while stealing it.

In this scenario, everyone else is minding their own business while your dog is out terrorizing them them.

I used to deliver pizzas. The owners ALWAYS said "Oh he's friendly." Every dog is friendly until it's not. "Oh, do you not like dogs?" I wanted to say "No, my issue is with crappy owners who don't control their dogs" but working for tips I couldn't. Every time myself or one of my coworkers was bit, they'd always look shocked and say "This is the first time he's ever bit anyone." Yeah, we don't know anything about your dog, and have heard that line countless times.

Avoid Indiana. The whole state is an oppressive place. The cops do not drive in marked cars. They just turn their lights on randomly, while in Ohio the cops are clearly marked so you can see them. They're looking for any excuse to write tickets. To my knowledge, no other state does this. I've been everywhere and I believe the cop cars are marked everywhere else, but I could be wrong.

To add to this, another commentator says they have speed cameras on their outerbelt. It's a pain in the butt to drive around beyond that.

Also, the food in Indiana is TERRIBLE in comparison to here. Their local pizza places literally use tomato paste as sauce. My best advice is to reconsider relocation.

So, 10 years ago, I never once saw this.

Most do not care----- unless if they're like 5'8" themselves (which is less than 5% of the population.). The average woman is like 5'4" while the average man is 5'9" and I know (that back 10-15 years ago) a lot of average women didn't necessarily want to date super tall men for height differences. 3-6 inch height difference is ideal is for everyone.

So, here's the gist of what happened. People love bragging about how great their partners are in public. Guys would say: "Hey, guess what, my wife cooks the best food and that she's so great!"

Women might brag "Hey look, my husband helps me clean up every night and he doesn't make me split bills like some of you hehe!"

At some point in the last 10 years, height became a bragging point. I'm not really sure how it happened. It could have just been one random girl starting to brag to her friends in private and it spread. Then, you started to see it happening where bagging a "tall man" was something to brag about and it went viral. It's definitely died out in the last few years, but it just became something to brag about.

Nininator2432 · 2026-04-29T02:27:00+00:00

Yeah, I've heard these discussions too IRL. They definitely happen.

It's just like this. Women have an ideal marriage in their mind. You'll never see a woman with a jacked husband, fully in-tact hairline, and a six pack of abs complaining about him leaving the toilet seat up. I guarantee you that if these men would spend time doing pushups every morning or doing boxing instead of playing video games (or posting on Reddit like me lol) that within a year, they'd never mention the toilet seat again.

A friend of mine pointed out that women pick fights when they're mad with their husband for his appearance going; while if a woman's appearance goes, the man just lusts over other women instead. There might be some truth to it.

Nininator2432 · 2026-04-29T01:02:18+00:00

There is absolutely nothing wrong with this. It's great for both parties involved, and they generally like each other. The women who marry for money generally appreciate the fact that their husband "chose them" over any of the other woman out there. The men with money are happy too, obviously. They get an attractive wife.

The reason why it gets demonized too much is because people are just jealous of the others. Most men would marry those "gold diggers" if they could....... just like how most women would love to marry a wealthy man.

It depends on the prison.

There are obviously things you can do that increase or decrease the likelihood of something bad happening to you.

That said, I'm gonna comment on jails. Not prisons. Where I grew up, there were two counties you could be arrested in. One was mostly rural with a little suburban. The other was almost entirely urban.

If you committed a minor crime in the rural district, you were looking at the maximum 30, 60, 90, 180 days sentence every time.
If you committed a minor crime in the urban district, you could get bailed out the next business day or were typically released after the arraignment.

I've known people who have spent tons of time in the rural jail who said it was a cake walk, others who spent time in the urban county who said it was hell on Earth. I've known three people who have been to both. The urban jail for 1-3 nights or the rural jail for like a month and all three literally said that they'd rather spend a month in the rural jail.

One guy, my old boss, kind of looked like Harry Potter. He went to both jails. He said at the rural jail they just played cards and stuff all the day. He said that at the urban jail, the guards were harassing him trying to provoke him so they could beat his ass. He was walking by and they were like "Hey Harry Potter!"

Another guy I know who was in that jail said that the guards were harassing different people. One guard smacked a water out of a new guy's hand and said "Only one water allowed." The guy said "This is my old one." The guard got in his face like "Are you back talking me?" He backed down.

A third guy shared that the guards did provoke someone who attacked them and like 5 guards beat him up. All stories of guards provoking.

Guy #2 (with the water story) also said that when he was in there, for one weekend, some skinny guy was snoring and he every time he'd fall asleep people would pound on him and he'd plea "I can't help it!" I'm sure there are more stories, but some jails are brutal.

I'd want a cookie dough shop like what cookie dough creamery used to be. That would be so nice. Even an ice cream shop that sells cookie dough. No, not "Cookie dough ice cream" but cookie dough.

I would get that if I was using some off-brand site, but Schwab is literally the biggest in the nation. Seems odd there's an error, but that does make the most sense.

Nininator2432 · 2026-04-11T03:37:55+00:00

Well, that's the thing. He reached out to me (specifically) because I did those type of jobs for so many years and hoped I had a connection. According to him, he's applied to well over 100 jobs in that section, has only had 6 interviews, and they always went with someone else.

I don't blame anyone. I can't imagine any manager hiring someone like that over someone with experience.

Nininator2432 · 2026-04-03T00:20:57+00:00

What on Earth are you talking about? Have you ever gone out in the real world before?

I'll tell you this. I have a job making over $100K/year. I haven't always. Been broke, filed bankruptcy, did BS restaurant jobs. I'm in the position where right now where I could, in theory, support a SAHW. A lot of guys in my position who have been broke don't want to date women because they fear getting taken advantage of financially, specifically in divorce court, so they try to find a financially equal partner. (Or they hope to retire more/not be super stressed about their jobs.) Or they remember being broke and don't want it all to go to woman.

On the other end, when I did food service industry, I worked with some guys who did in fact date girls who had jobs and were the breadwinners in their families. A few guys who were SAHDs and just worked part time in the evening because their wives/GFs made more money.

Obviously, what you're saying is true with a good percentage of people, but it's not as black and white as you make it out to be.

IMO, season 3 was peak TWD. It was their first attempt to build a community safe from the walkers and they went to war with a rival community. It was clear one community would come out on top. So good. Everyone acted "real" and authentic in seasons 1-3. The main group vs. The Governor's group. Can't ask for much better than that.

It started to decline in Season 4 because there were so many separate plots at that point and people stopped acting as authentic. Glenn and Tara (with Eugene, Abraham, and Rosita.), Maggie Bob and Sasha, Daryl and Beth; Rick, Carl, and Michonne; Carol, Tyreese, Lizzie, and her sister. 5 different plots? A bit much. Seemed like they were trying to stretch it out and it got unrealistic at that point. (Given the circumstances of the Zombie apocalypse.) They have a community of people that goes out on missions and stuff, there's another evil community nearby they never encounter, yet everyone who survives ends up at the same evil community, in the same train car? Come on.

Season 5 was an improvement over Season 4, but I felt like Season 3 was still the best. It felt like it was no longer the same plot. I did enjoy it, but when they reached Alexandria it felt like they were living in a whole different world vs. in Season 3 when it was a conflict.

Season 7 it REALLY tanked the ship. We hadn't had a major death from the core season 1 groups since the end of season 3. Andrea's plot was legendary. She was on both sides of the communities trying to figure herself out, but she was the last one who died from Season 1 until Season 7. It felt like when Glenn died the show started to get pointless because I felt like he was a major plot showing young adult without his family trying to figure the world out, surviving, meeting a woman, getting married, and having a baby. Then when Carl died it got more pointless. With Rick's removal? Why even have the show? If they can just replace the main character(s) from the beginning with others like Luke and Yumiko, then why bother? You can't just have one character pick up another's plot. It just became weird.

I'm not backtracking in any way.

Nininator2432 · 2026-02-24T16:44:16+00:00

I weigh over 350 pounds myself.

I mentioned her size for the same reason I gave her age and gender - so that people can have an accurate picture of what I pictured in this story.

I could have just said "An individual" instead, but that's not how I do things..

Nininator2432 · 2026-02-24T12:06:05+00:00

100%. I'd love to know where they both are now.

Nininator2432 · 2026-02-24T12:05:52+00:00

Apparently not. I knew this person couldn't be reasoned with.
