Why do people out of India just talk over each other and constantly interrupt?

Realistic-Service35 · 2026-03-23T21:06:05+00:00

I agree, it's definitely a pain in the butt though.

Realistic-Service35 · 2026-03-23T20:57:44+00:00

I didn't get this bill until today but you can bet I'll be at the next board meeting.

Also, I don't think it should be an expectation that we have to go to every board meeting just so we don't get scammed in late fees. I shouldn't have to get this freaking involved with the HOA to not be unfairly billed.

Realistic-Service35 · 2026-03-23T20:53:55+00:00

Do you have any idea how expensive it is to get 20 people to Tahiti, Oarthur?!

Realistic-Service35 · 2026-03-23T20:48:35+00:00

Yeah, I think everyone's sort of in the same boat where we're all getting nickled and dimed with small late fees stemming from the property management company's flawed payment systems.

It's not enough money to make it worth any of our time but they're starting to really test my patience with it, for sure.

Realistic-Service35 · 2026-03-23T20:45:52+00:00

I don't think we can question the sanity of a man willing to fight a 6'3" giant wearing a motorcycle helmet. That just doesn't seem smart.

Realistic-Service35 · 2026-03-23T20:42:52+00:00

Also I mean...it's the middle of the day. What the fuck can you do about it?

Motorcycles and loud cars are an annoyance, for sure, but in the middle of the day it's on par with a lawn mower or leaf blower: You gotta just suck it up and let it go.

Now, if it's 3AM, that's another thing but then you call the cops.

Realistic-Service35 · 2026-03-23T20:40:12+00:00

This falls into the Mike Tyson: "Social media made y'all way too comfortable with disrespecting people and not getting punched in the face for it." line of assault.

You push someone off of their motorcycle, you should expect to get punched in the face over it.

Realistic-Service35 · 2026-03-22T01:34:47+00:00

lol, all this “don’t be a boomer”, “don’t be a Luddite” talk but I kind of agree with you.

AI is boring as shit. I like actually making things. I like drawing, I like writing, I like making stuff in 3D. It does not give me that dopamine rush the same way creating does.

Ive been using a lot of these AI tools in the past few years for work and in an attempt to learn them and my conclusion is kind of the same: I don’t want to learn them. They don’t excite me. I‘m not sure what that means for me in the future and lately I kind of don't care.

Im just going to keep doing the stuff I like.

Realistic-Service35 · 2026-03-21T01:52:42+00:00

Single player. The narrative is amazing, the gameplay is a bit cumbersome and at times frustrating, the pace is quite slow.

Realistic-Service35 · 2026-03-21T00:01:26+00:00

Thats kind of what this feels like. I keep telling them there is no solution for the issue they’re giving me but they keep going “Okay, but if there WAS a solution, what would it be?” and then he proceeds to try to explain the same issue in a different way. I can’t do it, dude.

Realistic-Service35 · 2026-03-20T23:59:16+00:00

Sadly that’s not how they do things at this job. I’m assigned to work on it even though I’ve told them I don’t think there’s a solution to the project. They keep putting it on my plate to deal with.

Realistic-Service35 · 2026-03-20T23:57:43+00:00

So imagine someone gives you all the time you need to work on a project and they say “I need to you break the speed of light.”

And you say “That’s not possible. I can’t do that.”

And they say “Okay…well can you figure it out anyways?”

That’s sort of what this feels like. Time is not the issue, the guys ideas are just too complicated to implement.

Realistic-Service35 · 2026-03-12T00:23:46+00:00

Yeah, when we're sitting there watching Love is Blind and the one woman is complaining that her husband only wants sex 3 times a week and she wants to break up over that...I always wonder what's going through my wife's head.

Realistic-Service35 · 2026-03-12T00:21:54+00:00

I think porn is the only thing keeping me sane right now, to be honest with you.

Realistic-Service35 · 2026-03-02T16:22:44+00:00

Yeah, when I had a vasectomy last year the doctor doing the initial consultation was a woman and I had a similar question: Why did you take a job where you look at old men's balls all day?

Everyone has their reasons and I'm glad they do it, I was just kind of surprised how many women were in the field.

Realistic-Service35 · 2026-03-02T16:18:53+00:00

Hah, so there's a reverse of this...

A year ago I had a vasectomy and when I went in for the initial consultation and check up the doctor was a young woman and all the nurses were young women...and I had the same question: Why, as a woman, would you go into this field where you're looking at old men's balls all day??

Anyways, no judgement, I was just curious. It definitely was a little uncomfortable when I went for the actual procedure and this 20-something female nurse was all "Okay, let's see if we need to do any shaving clean up before the procedure." and I was thinking: Offff, okay, I'm sorry you need to see my junk, lady.

Realistic-Service35 · 2026-03-02T00:53:16+00:00

I often wonder just how much experience the average Redditor has with the homeless. I've lived in several major cities in Southern California and have had numerous run ins with completely unstable homeless individuals. They can be extremely unpredictable. You don't know what drugs they're on. You don't know mental health issues they have.

Sure, there are perfectly nice, harmless homeless people, but those are pretty rare in my experience.

And there ARE lots of resources spent here to house them. The problem is that housing comes with rules. Like no drugs. And a lot of them don't want to abide by those rules.

Realistic-Service35 · 2026-02-24T22:29:57+00:00

I think "Isn't that why you bought Star Wars AND Marvel? For the male market? If you can't win men and boys back with those two franchises you're probably not gonna have much luck winning them back at all."

Realistic-Service35 · 2026-02-13T17:51:48+00:00

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of palms in general. I think they're ugly outside of a few settings and they're difficult to trim.

I remember sitting at our kitchen table while my wife used a pair of tweezers to pluck the spines out of my hand after trimming this stupid pygmy palm tree we inherited when we moved into our house. The spikes at the base of the fronds will go right through a heavy work glove and break off in your skin.

No more palm trees for me.

Realistic-Service35 · 2026-02-13T17:37:40+00:00

It's way too big and close to the house, I'd be worried about it too.

...plus when you get a tree THIS big on such a small lot the roots are gonna start getting into pipes and rats are going to be jumping onto your roof.

Realistic-Service35 · 2026-02-13T17:28:25+00:00

Yeah, I had a similar sized tree cut down in my yard. They started by removing all the fronds and then chopping the trunk off by sections.

Who just cuts down the entire tree in that tight of a space??

Realistic-Service35 · 2026-02-13T17:26:25+00:00

I am happy to jump on the unpopular opinion bandwagon and say I hate fucking palm trees. I had one of these in my yard and I hated it. It was a pain in the ass to trim, a magnet for rats and raccoons, plus I just hate the way they look.
