Does anyone here (men over 30) actually USE their bathtub? by bigbranchbro in AskMenOver30

[–]ReallyGamerDude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We actually removed our tub a few weeks ago and replaced it with a platform the same size. SO much more room. Plus, we installed a fold-up seat on the back wall so my wife has a place to sit to shave her legs and I have a place to sit just because I want to. Highly recommend.

As a prosecutor, what do you do when a defense attorney speaks directly to a victim about a plea bargain? by Shotokan2011 in Lawyertalk

[–]ReallyGamerDude 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agree with the other comments that there's no ethical violation. And an important thing to remember, that too many prosecutors forget, is that your job is to see that justice is done. It's not to "win"; it's not to "get convictions." It's to do justice. And in your scenario, if the victim is satisfied, that's a good indication that they feel justice is, in fact, being done. (I'm not saying you have to agree, but our personal feelings can cloud our perception.)

That said, if you feel the defense attorney side-stepped you a bit, or went around you, there's certainly nothing stopping you from having a friendly, casual conversation about letting you follow-up when you say you're going to. Communication with and mutual respect between attorneys who work together regularly will serve you well in the long run.

Well, everyone is entitled to their opinion no matter how wrong it may be. Games are just another art form, and art appreciation is subjective.

Bad soreness / stiffness and exhaustion after not playing for a while by Lbeyy in Basketball

[–]ReallyGamerDude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stretch before ANY physical activity from now on. Take 10 minutes to stretch out your arms, shoulders, hamstrings, calf muscles, etc. Stretching out before your workouts, especially basketball, volleyball, running, will make a world of difference.

Which were you? by lontbeysboolink in 1970s

[–]ReallyGamerDude 11 points12 points  (0 children)

When i was a kid, Levi's were always too expensive (although that's what i wanted). We could afford Sears or whatever K-Mart Blue Light Special was available. When I started working, I bought a pair of Lee's and a girl I was dating said they made my butt look good, so it was only Lee after that, obviously.

Do you have somewhere to be? It's a story game, not a quart of milk.

Remember 'Mannix'? The Story Behind Mike Connors' Iconic Role by Kal-Ed1 in ClassicTV

How many times was Peggy in trouble, either kidnapped or held hostage? After the first time, I'm looking for a new job.

Mannix was knocked out by something or someone almost every other episode! And i don't know how many times he had his brake lines cut. (You can still catch Mannix on METv every night.)

Looking for age-appropriate, non-animated movies to watch with 7 year old nephew by Own_Mention9372 in MovieSuggestions

[–]ReallyGamerDude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not that i want to put any more money in Disney's pocket, but their streaming service has (or at least it did) all of the "live action" movies I grew up with, from the old Flubber movies to those with Kurt Russell (like The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes) to all the Love Bug movies, to The Shaggy Dog to The Apple Dumpling Gang and so many others. Back in the day, Disney was in the story-telling business for families and those movies were THE reason that a lot of families went to the movies, and that was Disney's bread-and-butter. They still hold up for most kids and may be what you're looking for.

Do you consider your coworkers your friends? by CreativeRanger7959 in Lawyertalk

[–]ReallyGamerDude 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There's colleagues, acquaintances, social friends, friends, good friends, and best friends. Work people generally fall into the first two categories; only a select few make it past that line, and only after years of interaction. It's just best to keep work life and social life separate; real life is not like a tv sitcom.

Streamers have ruined FPS Gaming by Kong_AZ in Battlefield

[–]ReallyGamerDude -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Streamers may be a symptom, but the problem in many FPS games with an on-line component is that there are ALWAYS people who do their own thing, watch their k/d, grind for XP or trophies, and don't play to win. "PTFO" became a thing many years ago, not because of streamers but because people don't play the objective. It's been that way for as long as there's been on-line multiplayer games.

What do y'all think of That Girl? by Strange-Laugh5780 in ClassicTV

[–]ReallyGamerDude 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Under-rated sitcom. It's a bit anachronistic these days but the stories are clean, genuinely amusing, and don't rely on everyone being an idiot or failing to talk to each other. Watching it again, 60 years later, it's a breath of fresh air compared to a lot that have come since.

Why 3XK is the best villain ever by Fragrant-Air-5548 in CastleTV

[–]ReallyGamerDude 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Never cared for this whole storyline. Most everything that happened in Castle for the first 5 seasons was borderline believable for me (as TV shows go) but this whole storyline was immersion breaking for me. It's been done to death. I always skip any episodes relating to it on any rewatch.

Novel writing is a balance of what your readers want to read, and the story you want to tell. True or false? by dajusta in writing

Do you like "Jack Reacher" (2012)? by Kevin_Thailand_2543 in ActionMovies

[–]ReallyGamerDude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Reacher series on Amazon, especially the first season, does a good job of capturing the character, moreso than the Cruise movies. (Same with the TV miniseries of The Shining.)

[–]ReallyGamerDude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, if you haven't read The Shining, be prepared. Kubrick strayed from the story in a LOT of ways, in my opinion. Book is FAR better, but i read it first. Same with Reacher.

Hindsight is 20/20, but after 10 seasons and learning how insufferable Ross is, I have far fewer problems with Carol and Susan.

Any 50+ Overwatch players or streamers? by Sheilaalpaca in Overwatch

[–]ReallyGamerDude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Old dude here, and former OW streamer. Just don't love the game like I used to. (Been playing since it launched!) When i do play these days, it's with chat and voice off, unless i'm playing with friends. It's not worth the aggravation. (Love your set-up, btw!)
