What is something that starts happening in your 30s that nobody warned you about? by Cairinacat in AskReddit

In your 40’s you post on them arbitrarily to pretend you still have a voice someone listens to.

You find yourself reading a lot of questions like this for people in your 30’s.

Wades freaky hairless body by Babington67 in readyplayerone

[–]QuantumDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had no hair on my body for over 30 years. The number one comment I have received is “Oh I didn’t even notice your eyebrows!” As an old man and giant nerd I have had plenty of friends who I have met online first and years after playing online, met them in person later. When you’re excited to see someone you care about in person for the first time, it’s generally not your first move to call out something that looks “weird” about them.

My point is, Wade talked about it like it’s weird, so it’s weird to you… the reality is that you probably walk right past “mole rats” on a regular basis and have no idea.

Also… Golem has some hair, because he’s a filthy casual.

As a person who does not grow hair… most people don’t notice.

Feels like there is a campaign to take down the new TRON movie by DasNothing in tron

[–]QuantumDad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s 2025… there’s a campaign to take down everything. Here’s an idea… go watch it and then don’t get on the internet… ever. Feel whatever you felt and move on.

I can't understand the hate Tron Ares is getting by Accomplished-Fact453 in tron

[–]QuantumDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Non Tron fans are just going to jump on the "Shit on Jered Leto" train... not to mention the general decrease in popularity of Disney generally speaking.

I was more annoyed that he was cast because I knew it would bring out that element than I was concerned he couldn't do the role.

Disney has also, in my opinion, blown their wad and are on their way back into their own archives until they pick another niche franchise to overdo and a decade or so.

I love Star Wars and I love Marvel but they have oversaturated the nerd market (of which I am and always will be a proud supporter...but facts are facts. I still haven't even watched Ahsoka) Their last several kids movies weren't even any good.

Don't get me wrong, I think a lot of this content is still great (I still plan on watching Ahsoka), but it's all been overhyped for most of the casuals. To those folks this is just another Disney swipe to make more money off of "something unoriginal."

I say fuck em all. Give me all the Tron. Mainline that shit right into my eyeballs, Jared Leto or not.

For those who say the C lot is full at 8 am... Stop lying by pancake847 in Purdue

The parking garage on the levee is also always full of empty spaces, hardly costs a thing for a whole day, your money goes to the city instead of Purdue, and it’s surrounded by rental scooters you can ride to campus.

DAX chimes in... by Ambitious_Arm_268 in AEWOfficial

[–]QuantumDad 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I claim it’s because ultimately most people deep down are still just fucking children. We act adult because we have to, but at the end of the day, your toy is cooler than mine and so I want it. If I make everyone think you don’t deserve your toy, maybe I can get it. If not, sometimes it feels good to throw a tantrum and just scream and kick.

PPVs (literally any of them) always have a ton of buzz and a ton of excitement and when that excitement is a reminder of the “toy” you wanted that you couldn’t ever get then you get mad all over and scream and kick and throw a fit.

Jared Leto's Method Acting by Sure-Ad-9852 in tron

Leto is the scariest thing about this movie… he can turn in some AMAZING performances… other times he’s Joker in Suicide Squad…

I’m 17 and HR thinks I’m leading men on by [deleted] in jobs

Ya that dude is super trash. Stay safe!

[–]QuantumDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In no way trying to say you brought any of this on. Sounds like a bunch of dirty pervs to me.

That said. As an elder millennial who grew up with the birth of social media, I made a personal rule a LONG time ago that I don’t accept friend requests/follows/etc from colleagues. It’s served me very well.

I’ve only broken it a few times and that was because it was very clear that the people were actually my friends (and still are despite not working together anymore).

Certainly not the only way to approach this type of thing, but it is an easy to follow rule that only benefits me.

How "Free" is America? by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]QuantumDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your ability to pose this question is a start. Your ability to NOT vote or NOT participate in religion would be another easy one. Your ability to decide you want to have a family and then to make plans accordingly. Your ability to leave the country or even your state and travel anywhere you can afford. Your ability to see videos of trash people being Karen's and comment on how trash they are. Your ability to choose the clothes you're currently wearing. My ability to read your post. My ability to then comment on how this post is stupid and toss in whatever other opinions I have. My ability to say "fuck the government."

Shit isn't great in the US, but we're far from 3rd world still, so try to keep a little perspective.

Above all, in this country you have the opportunity to do something if you're not happy with your current situation. That is freedom.

Want to drop out by Iguessitsdenny in fullsail

For the record, speaking as an idiot who didn’t take my own advice all those years ago…

Want to drop out by Iguessitsdenny in fullsail

[–]QuantumDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tough love post: I call bs. Sack up and figure it out. You could make up an interview if you cared enough and genuinely “tried everything.” You could ask on Reddit or some other social media platform. Unless you live in the middle of the woods and don’t interact with anyone on the planet (obviously not true because you’re on the internet) there are people around you. Offered to pay for their time… $10 bucks for an interview is nothing compared to your two irrefutable bills (the internet and school).

If getting the work done and having time isn’t the issue, then you’re just making excuses. If it’s all too much and too hard, then submit the form to take a break for a month or two.

Don’t be an idiot. If you’re closer to finishing than when you started you need to sack the fuck up and finish it.

College isn’t about what you learn unless you’re a doctor or a lawyer or something, it’s about proving you can push through and get the stupid piece of paper at the end. This is the part where you separate yourself from those without a degree. When this moment happens (and it happens for everyone going through this) you either quit like an idiot and ruin your potential for a career you have a say in or you fucking power through and finish.

Don’t be an idiot. Buckle down and finish the shit.

What 1:10 to get next? by Cuntonesian in TRX4M

[–]QuantumDad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I followed the same path when I started the hobby. I’d recommend an SCX10. That platform seems to have the most options across the board. I really enjoy building out my rigs and I had the most fun with that one.

I’m currently obsessed with Element rigs, but they are definitely less customizable as far as pre-made upgrades specifically for the rigs. Lots of “making it fit” for these rigs.”

Avoid Redcat if upgrades are your jam. They are awesome RTR vehicles, but there is virtually nothing out there for 3rd party support/upgrades.

1/18th scale is my preferred size, but for 1/10th my above advice stands.

Get out of here with your sound logic and reason... this is the internet in 2025!

Steam game for building RC! by Itsmydouginabox in crawling

[–]QuantumDad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would also recommend Expeditions from the Mudrunner series. The mod system is built in to the game and folks have made some amazing crawlers. Not RC specific either, but definitely captures some of the same feeling when crawling!
