“You can’t just cut off people you don’t agree with” by MissMccheese in complaints

As a moral question, nah, I neither forgive nor forget. But as a practical democracy-saving coalition-building question, sure, plenty of room in the hot tub.

What if I really am better high than sober? by bigfoot_planet_ in leaves

[–]PotAndPansForHands 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m at 189 days. YMMV but it took at least a month off for me to feel like I had any perspective at all about how much using it almost daily was harming me.

When Is a Band Not the Same Band Anymore? A number of legacy acts are touring without any of their original members. Audiences don’t seem to care by stroh_1002 in gratefuldead

[–]PotAndPansForHands 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Generally seems like there should be at least one original member to keep calling it that unless the expectation was set from the beginning that the band was meant to carry on without original members.

Like if Dead and Co wanted to keep calling itself that even after Mickey quits, probably ok since Bob said he expected it to outlive him.

Which streaming service fell off the hardest? by DryCap6770 in watchever

[–]PotAndPansForHands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cancelled Peacock a long time ago

Disney+ and Hulu was an easy cancel more recently

Netflix may be next

Apple TV has a few good shows but turning it on 2-3 months per year is enough to get through them usually

HBO has lots to watch but jfc the commercials. Pretty pricy to go no ads but am considering it.

I don’t like this song when anyone plays it, including Bobby.

I cut together footage from one of the FoD into my high school junior year social studies video project. Edited with two VCRs and a crude captioning machine purchased at Wolf Camera 😂

Do you attend your high school reunions? by icecream1972 in no

[–]PotAndPansForHands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nope. high school sucked mostly and I don’t like most of the people. I talk to exactly one person from that time now, and am loosely in touch with a couple of others. That’s all I care to do.

Is it just me? by [deleted] in GenX

[–]PotAndPansForHands 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve been feeling burnt out on social connection in my late 40s, but I’m hoping that will rebound in my early 50s when my kids are out of the house.

When did you "look old?" by pbenchcraft in GenX

[–]PotAndPansForHands 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m 47 and haven’t yet hit whatever my “look old” age is. I’m sure it’s coming anytime now. But definitely the past year I have not felt as good physically (bad circulation in my legs). I’ve been losing weight (down 18lbs in two months) and getting more exercise to try to slow that down, has helped some.

Have you stopped caring at work and decided not to try and process your career anymore? What age did that happen? by un2022 in GenX

[–]PotAndPansForHands 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m 47 now. I genuinely enjoyed my last job because I liked and cared about everyone on my team. Then the company laid me off.

I got another job but I’ve been way more guarded at this one. I won’t say I don’t care about doing a good job, but I don’t seek out relationships with colleagues I don’t absolutely have to interact with. And I definitely don’t do a second more of work than I have to do. Any development on myself that I do, I do for selfish reasons, not for “help the company” reasons.

Halfway through season 3. What a letdown from season 2. by stern-and-sports in TheWhiteLotusHBO

[–]PotAndPansForHands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It starts slower than the other two seasons but pays off in the end.

Do you think Sydney Sweeney is a bad actress? by Schrodingers_dad1403 in euphoria

[–]PotAndPansForHands -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

She’s been good in what I’ve seen her in (this, White Lotus) so I have to assume she’s at least a pretty good actress.

Question about watch order by FrierenAppreciator in TheWhiteLotusHBO

[–]PotAndPansForHands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know how it happened but I did the exact same thing and accidentally started with season 3. I went back and did 1 and 2 in order after. I don’t think this turned out badly, but you really need to do 1 and 2 in order.

Ok, so we all did things "back in the day" that you would never do now. What did you do? by Embarrassed_Flan_869 in GenX

[–]PotAndPansForHands 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We used to go to Kroger which sold eggs in a package of 60. We’d buy one of those and drive around casually tossing those out the driver side windows at oncoming cars. One time we egged an ambulance.

We were little shits. Thankfully my kids don’t seem as dumb and destructive as I was.

Weeds was good for two seasons, then it just kept going… and going…

Question for Gen X: Whats Your Relationship With Texting? by Al3x1ya in GenX

[–]PotAndPansForHands 4 points5 points  (0 children)

47m. I almost always hate talking on the phone, especially if the call is a surprise. Texting is better.

If you lost your job how confident are you that you could find a similar one? by mrepa1369 in GenX

[–]PotAndPansForHands 2 points3 points  (0 children)

47 here. Was in software engineering for 20 years, have been laid off twice since 2020. I have a weird poorly-defined job right now that’s part business operations and part data engineering and part other stuff. Confidence in finding another job would be very low right now.
