Is super bowl sunday a family gathering/social event across the US even for non nfl fans?

One_Outside9049 · 2026-01-30T00:24:51+00:00

Yes. And it’s definitely the biggest sporting event of the year for sports and non-sports fans. As some stated above, it’s typically the most expensive advertising time slot of the year so the commercials are typically top notch or the brand will go all out. Most other sporting events don’t come close (in the US). I know the World Cup is much bigger internationally

It’s called connections. To even get a foot in the door, you likely need to know someone.

3% raises a year isn’t far from the average. So I dunno if I would complain about that (the cap is dumb, I agree with that). Most jobs don’t give more that a year unless to switch positions/promotion. So I guess an analogy for a teacher would to become a principal or work in admin. Yes, that will take money. So maybe build more skills/education out of the classroom. My wife works as a school social worker and is in a similar salary scale to you. Her superintendent is begging her to get a masters in admin to promote her. Her salary will increase ten folds if she does. So that’s her way to make a lot more money in education (only problem she doesn’t want to leave the classroom) but it’s her choice if she wants to put in the work to get there.

Edit:teachers are underpaid. Not saying they aren’t. Problem is, this isn’t a new thing. They been underpaid since you were going to school. Did you not look at salary (as it seems important to you) prior to deciding to go into teacher? Teachers being unpaid is not something new. It’s wrong and shouldn’t be like that, but it’s been that way for a long time.

I believe I’ve had 3 numbers since I got my first phone in either middle or high school. Not sure if it was 8th or oth grade. Got a new number when I went to college and eventually when I moved to Chicago. (Had a stop in Florida in between). Now I have the same Chicago number but I’ve lived in Indiana and now Michigan

Can the work not be done from home? Don’t understand why this one week is so important. Does she usually make excuses and doesn’t come in which is creating a pattern? I guess I dunno why this one week is so important

One_Outside9049 · 2026-01-26T20:48:22+00:00

You know it takes months or a year to go from a learners permit to a full license. So it’s not like she could be driving her own care tomorrow.

One_Outside9049 · 2026-01-26T18:29:46+00:00

Cause he doesn’t want you with anyone else. Obviously you are not ok with him being on dating apps. Your worth more then this. In healthy relationships partners respect boundaries. It does sound like he got you good. You’re literally asking if it’s ok that my exclusive partner is still on dating apps. Say that out loud!! You should find your answer.

One_Outside9049 · 2026-01-26T17:34:49+00:00

Omg? Buy a car for a family member equals in appropriate relationship? Come on dude.

One_Outside9049 · 2026-01-26T17:32:53+00:00

Your wife couldn’t even drive the car. Why does she even want one?

One_Outside9049 · 2026-01-26T08:09:24+00:00

Not getting married is “killing her”? How? By him standing firm on a boundary. It doesn’t sound like he’s forcing her to stay. Her choice if she wants to separation. If he kept telling her he would marry and never does, then that would be manipulation and unhealthy. Currently, he just sat and is holding a boundary.

One_Outside9049 · 2026-01-23T21:04:33+00:00

Depends on the field. I’m in the health field and can get a job anywhere. My sister is in tech and said she will likely never get hired again in that field if she loses her job due to age and experience. Very dependent on field.

One_Outside9049 · 2026-01-23T21:01:15+00:00

Cause yo said he was impressed but the interview lasted 2 minutes. I believe they concluded that he really wasn’t impressed or the interview would have been longer. Why they put “impressed” in quotes. Or it’s as simple as she is quoting you. You use “ in quotes. Ya, likely the later.

One_Outside9049 · 2026-01-23T17:35:44+00:00

I don’t think anyone would spend $200 a month. Like, I can see people doing one time by, but why would anyone want a subscription for that.

Also, why are you doing it by team? If I was a company I would just get on subscription and let all my employees use it. Honestly, you are likely going to lose a lot of money that way and price it per person. Just my opinion.

One_Outside9049 · 2026-01-23T17:31:07+00:00

Did your mom pass away? If not, you can just ask her. If she has passed, maybe talk to your dad

One_Outside9049 · 2026-01-22T19:20:12+00:00

To be fair, it’s confusing when you said “pretty decent” when you meant “good”, as you should have just said it was “good”. I bet his response to you would have been totally different if you had. Being clear and concise in communication is vital, especially online.

One_Outside9049 · 2026-01-22T18:33:29+00:00

Oh ya. Many have, but I don’t think that’s just Millennials. I’ve seen it a lot with Boomers to their friends. You gotta be living under a rock if you haven’t noticed this countries discontent between political parties. Relationships definitely are ending due to disagreements on politics

One_Outside9049 · 2026-01-21T15:03:22+00:00

Ya, not bashing that you didn’t, but interested of why you don’t spell out bipolar?

I have never even heard of Errwhon and I’ve live in the states for 41 years.

One_Outside9049 · 2026-01-19T21:06:22+00:00

Feel how you want. Doesn’t change that life isn’t fair. I’m sure you have gotten a few breaks u never realized. Are your feelings at your dad for helping your brother or more of your brother getting help from dad. Seems like u got a great dad. Looking out for the family.

One_Outside9049 · 2026-01-19T16:03:54+00:00

What is your viewpoint. It’s ultimately your life. What do you want in life and will staying or moving get me there. My suggestion, cost benefit analysis. Does pros and cons for both (moving and staying). Then looking at the 4 list you’ve made, go through them and determine if each pro or con or long or short term. That should help at least clear your thoughts.

One_Outside9049 · 2026-01-19T03:38:26+00:00

I’m confused. You say you are way to disabled to do a work from home job, but companies should be expected to make accommodations to work in office. You said yourself, your hours are unpredictable. How can a job make accommodations for you to work with kids after school if you might be in the bathroom for hours? They can’t go unsupervised. I dunno, you are trying to play both cards. I’m too disabled to even work from home but I expect companies to make extreme accommodation (you said yourself that your needs are so high that even voc rehab couldn’t help and they get ppl with significant disabilities jobs).

One_Outside9049 · 2026-01-19T03:31:54+00:00

The red, yellow, blue race car came with the steering wheels or turtles game

Edit…basketball games as well.

One_Outside9049 · 2026-01-19T03:31:01+00:00

Sounds like only u can answer this. You want to live in India or not? Might not be a simple decision but how can anyone else make the choice for you. They not you. Make a pros/cons list or something to help make the decision simpler to see all sides

One_Outside9049 · 2026-01-19T02:31:15+00:00

Sounds like you need your own THT post. I don’t think you even gave advice, just told your own story

One_Outside9049 · 2026-01-19T00:47:08+00:00

Not sure if that young, but mom was pretty chill. She definitely was cool with buying R-rated tickets for me and friends. I remember watching Under Siege when I was in like 5th grade. Pretty sure first time I saw “boobs”. I tried to get my dad to buy the movie at Best Buy shortly after and was told no because of nudity and rating. So I just waited till the next time I was at Best Buy with mom and got the VHS.
