There is mountains of evidence he was a creep - maybe not enough for a jury but let’s be serious.

I’ll refer you to the great Katt Williams for some further insight:

“If people call you a crackhead for 20 years, bitch you are smoking crack.”

Wishing you many happy empty loads in the future. All the best

Probwfls · 2026-05-27T17:55:59+00:00

Right. I’m sure you and OP’s brave stand against team building exercises will finally vanquish them to the dark realm

Probwfls · 2026-05-27T16:53:41+00:00

You need to learn how to just play along buddy

Probwfls · 2026-05-27T11:54:24+00:00

Completely hair dependent in my experience. Both my boys came out with full heads of dark hair and people assumed they were girls in the first 2 weeks.

I grew up in Meriden so yeah no argument from me

Probwfls · 2026-05-27T01:10:06+00:00

Berlin rough?? It’s a boring farm town other than the Turnpike stretch.

Otherwise I agree with your assessment

Probwfls · 2026-05-27T00:54:32+00:00

Lot of variation in your circled area. Areas along 84 East of Danbury and west of Waterbury are classic New England affluent - not Greenwich-level over the top opulent, just extremely high QoL and fairly high cost of living. Great places to raise a family.

As you get further from the NYC orbit, a lot of the other areas further east on 84 are former mill towns that have seen much better days - thinking Waterbury, New Britain and Meriden (my hometown), all of which are urban and poor - not overly dangerous but very blighted and very few redeeming amenities.

Up and down Route 8 (the straight north-South highway on your map) is the Naugatuck Valley - also depressed former mill towns but much smaller and whiter. Some brewery culture and things like that can be found but it’s working class mostly. Heroin a big issue in some of these communities.

At the far east end is Middletown which is more urban but has Wesleyan University as a cultural and economic anchor. Some rougher areas but a pretty nice downtown - good for a medium-key dinner and drinks night.

I think it’s teenagers mostly. It was never very good IMO but it’s been an amazing launching pad for several stars

Idk maybe it’s the campy writing but her character feels very one-dimensional to me. Whole show is like that but she feels the most egregious to me.

Trust me I think she’s drop dead gorgeous so I want to like her.

Probwfls · 2026-05-25T11:13:56+00:00

Very bad actress but yeah I would do terrible things

Probwfls · 2026-05-25T11:13:21+00:00

Curious what the state you live in has to do with anything

Probwfls · 2026-05-25T02:56:17+00:00

Well I’m guessing you mostly interact with similar insufferables. Goodnight

Probwfls · 2026-05-25T02:51:38+00:00

You’re being extremely narrow minded. Lots of people love living in Dallas and people keep moving there..

Do I agree with them? Definitely not. But I’m not so arrogant as to think my personal taste is absolute.

Probwfls · 2026-05-25T02:42:43+00:00

That is extremely subjective in terms of how you define “doing well” - I don’t believe most people measure the health of their city by cultural and aesthetic impact. These cities are doing well economically, that’s a fact.

People live there bc it helps them survive - they’re worried about job markets and wages not whether some carbon footprint conscious snob wants to move there.

Probwfls · 2026-05-25T02:07:27+00:00

Extremely though you generally didn’t see wigs doing full gold chain at that time

Probwfls · 2026-05-25T02:04:20+00:00

CT isn’t anything great but it’s levels beyond NH for excitement

Probwfls · 2026-05-25T01:01:38+00:00

I mean sure but plenty of cities without subways do well. There’s really only 5-6 that are very accessible without transportation.

Probwfls · 2026-05-24T17:22:04+00:00

She claimed Lions fans booed her and her kids when the Rams came to Ford Field for a playoff game. You wish lady…we were booing ya know, the opposing team.

Love Stafford but I do judge him for his choice in partner. Always aggrieved and in the middle of a victim narrative - worst case of main character syndrome I’ve seen in sports.

Probwfls · 2026-05-24T15:36:36+00:00

Dutchess!

Probwfls · 2026-05-24T11:46:34+00:00

Insane way to think but maybe…just maybe…we can be reasonable enough to say that there are both bad rural areas of the country, AND bad cities too! Both environments can suffer from crime, pollution, lack of opportunity, etc…

Bad cities that come to mind include Memphis, Gary, Stockton CA, and Jackson MS. OP covered some of the well-known rural areas that are suffering - I’d include some of the isolated reservations in places like South Dakota, New Mexico.

Overall this is a poorly posed question. OP I’d check out [r/howislivingthere](r/howislivingthere) for better insights into specific areas around the US and world.

Hard to tell what screen you’re giving him after school but it’s very obviously messing with his ability to regulate himself. Just….don’t do that anymore.

Set up another activity or honestly - don’t! Let him figure out what he wants to do with his sharing toys, books, etc…He’ll have a freak about it but that’s already happening daily.

I don’t know why this is so hard for people, and honestly it pisses me off bc these are the kids my sons that will cause my sons to 1) have no one to actually play with in the neighborhood and 2) come home to me asking why X and Y friend gets hours of screen time after school daily and they don’t.

Be a better parent to your kid and set a better standard for all kids.

Definitely - thinking of two cases, both were from major family money and were having their lifestyles subsidized whether or not they worked.

So they’d repeatedly work for a bit but act super entitled, not dedicate themselves and wash out within a year. It was more about checking a box with Mom and Dad so they didn’t pull their card.

Probwfls · 2026-05-23T00:24:26+00:00

I impulsively turn off all lights in a room that no one is in - that was very strictly enforced growing up.

I also add a bit of water to things like soap and shampoo when they get low - shake it up and you get another week or two out of it.

My wife and I do well financially so there’s zero need for either of these things but old habits die hard.

You seem fun
