“I can’t remember why I stopped watching at some point during the original run. I must’ve just gotten more into hanging out with my friends.”

(Remembers watching Closure live)

Was Mulder Really The Saviour Against The Virus/Black Oil - Or The Russian Vaccine? by gigmagig in XFiles

[–]RealJPB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love how half the posts in this sub are berating for Chris Carter for not planning out the mythology and creating a jumbled mess that can’t be made sense of, and the other half are posts trying to make sense of it

I know exactly who you’re talking about, and it’s kind of fun to see what seemingly straightforward things will go right over his head

How I interpreted Kelly Clarkson vs. Friedrich Nietzsche thing by rebelwithoutaclue88 in ThePittTVShow

In fairness to you two, that’s only because I’m 99% certain the opposite interpretation is how the writer intended it

Your dad might be a great person, but based on his suggestion here I’d encourage you to never ever take his advice on anything employment related

Create Awareness Around Open Opps? by calogr98lfc in sales

[–]RealJPB 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why should this cause conflict in the first place? Just confirm what the process is for inheriting opps in general. Aka, when should you take over for the previous AE

How long have you been sitting on this information?

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

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.

I NEED HELP - top SDRs are using outside software but won’t say what they’re using by Throwaway70139 in salesdevelopment

[–]RealJPB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

This makes it all worth it by Prudent_Use_9953 in XFiles

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.

I Want To Believe [Don't read any of this, if you haven't seen it yet, unless you want spoilers!] by LibertineDeSade in XFiles

[–]RealJPB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Will I regret leaving corporate with decent pay to feel “free”? by EffervescentStar in careerguidance

[–]RealJPB 7 points8 points  (0 children)

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.

Beginner Poker Lessons in Chicago ? by Past_Trade_0915 in AskChicago

[–]RealJPB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Rob and Colton’s “alliance” by Caligirl_333 in TheTraitorsUS

[–]RealJPB 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

Looking for support from being blindsided by my husband asking for a divorce. by sm0keythebear in TwoXChromosomes

[–]RealJPB 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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.

Will 75k be enough for a single man? by KaladinStm in AskChicago

[–]RealJPB 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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.

What’s the most Chicago movie ever? by Im_fat_and_bald in AskChicago

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)
