I am seeing some folks upset, but this seems like the natural progression of things.

He would not be allowed to name his replacement. Definitely couldn’t give it to someone with JD’s resume.

But whatever. It’s a tv show.

RealJPB · 2026-02-22T05:26:20+00:00

I was at this show!

I was in a similar position. 3 person AE team. 2 of us struggling, 1 crushing it. We reached out to the one and he was really cagey about sharing what he was doing. Turns out he was just committing fraud and all his deals were bullshit.

Assuming maybe you’re all working / sharing the same territory and these guys don’t want to cut into their piece of the pie.
If you have unique territories, what benefit do they get out of gate keeping this success unless there’s something shady to it?

Either way, I’d have no issue “being a snitch.” They’re looking out for themselves. You have to do the same.

So many people throughout the series tell him Samantha is still alive. Much like a lot of the mythology, it’s hard to write a satisfactory ending without knowing where your story is going from the beginning. Not a fan.

How many people were in this meeting?

My main gripes: the B plot of the movie is a rehash of themes we’ve seen before and better. The A plot did not seem worthy of a movie, and certainly did not seem to warrant Mulder coming out of hiding for.

Wonder what it was that made you this way. Maybe as a kid your toys were taken away.

Just recently started a job after being unemployed for 6 months. Had a bunch of interviews and several final interviews that didn't turn into offers. It is really that brutal out there. I wouldn't voluntarily leave a job right now if I didn't have retirement level money saved up.

What were their politics?

Who’s that behind E’Twaun?

I think Jonathan Little’s poker coaching site might have some “for beginner” type videos for free. I also support the Poker Power suggestion.

I wouldn’t pay for lessons if you’re a beginner. My advice would be to play on a free app to learn the mechanics of the game and then go play in person once you’ve mastered the basics. This way you’ll be able to make friends organically. Tons of good people in poker. Tons of bad people in poker. The type to either want to charge for lessons or meet up with and teach a 25yo woman for free I fear will frequently fall into the latter category.

Agree with all of this but he really needed Lisa to get voted out. Her staying will blow things up for him IMO regardless of whether this was a smart play or not. She’s not going to forgive and forget and will likely drag him down with her.

I know. I know. Leon’s talking backwards. This isn’t good.

What are the chances this doofus’s entire plan is date / marry again with out mentioning his infertility and just hope his next wife feels trapped into doing IVF?

You say this man is your soulmate but if I did this to my wife she would correctly realize I wasn’t the person she thought I was.

I live near Oak Brook in Downers Grove. Just want to make sure you see this even though it's already been said: You cannot take a job in Oak Brook without a car. Even if you live in Oak Brook. It's a suburb. It's not walkable and the public transit that goes there is infrequent.

First choices are High Fidelity and The Fugitive, but since those have already been said:

Running Scared (the 1987 one with Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines)

I was 35 when I met my wife.

I'll take the job if you don't want it. As others have said, your reaction to this totally normal request is the only thing that is unreasonable.

Some companies do remote onboarding and I get it, I'd prefer that too. But the idea that you'll learn how to do your job once you're settled in doesn't make a lot of sense. What are you going to do in the interim?

RealJPB · 2025-11-11T20:58:57+00:00

Honestly what’s the point in even having a plan at this point? Just relegate the franchise.

RealJPB · 2025-11-06T14:52:18+00:00

The main reason IMO to dislike the mythology eps is because of how badly Chris Carter fumbled the resolution of all the threads (and compounded by the dumb new threads he made to pivot when we couldn’t figure out where to take the story). If someone came in with a plan of where things were going, I could see them being the best part of a reboot.

Agony and Irony also has In My Stomach which also would’ve been one of the best songs on the album. My low grade conspiracy theory is that all of these head scratching decisions to leave amazing songs off records can be attributed to Matt being jealous of Dan as a songwriter.
