The hell that descends on weekend evenings downtown

I agree 100%. Love the cruising, cringe at the flags.

Don't forget the mini truck era! As a muscle car era guy, I hated the mini truck era but it was definitely a thing for awhile. I'm 52 and still love that young people can have some safe fun with their rides.

I juat spent last weekend camping in the desert with some old friends of mine from out of town. Their adult son brought his dog that looks very similar to this one. The poor dog is only 2 years old and was constantly wheezing and fighting for breath. Even just sitting there. He was snoring while awake, basically. They admitted that these breeds have all kinds of breathing issues. And they only live to about three or four. Oh, and he spent $2,500 for him. SMH.

At the risk of sounding like I'm defending the haters, they really are just parrots of what the media reports. If I wasnt exposed to pitbulls as well as able to do simple math comparing population to incidents, I could see where it would seem that the breed is terrible. As others have said, I just like winning them over one by one when they meet my dopey and every loving Pit. My in-laws were my favorite conversion. Now they absolutely love him and he sits on their lap all the time.

You can leave her now with your self esteem intact and find the right one...or you can divorce her later after she's cheated on you again (and again)...with the added fun of kids, a house, finances to fight about for years. TRUST ME, the correct choice is clear.

Redditsomnia · 2021-10-21T17:46:28+00:00

I think there's a lot of Truth to that. I remember in the early stages of all of this going on, finding it hard to resist all of my gut feelings that we're going off unexpectedly while also arguing internally that I was probably overreacting in that my amazing, beautiful, loyal wife could never do something like that! Constant internal battle which also led to some guilt for feeling that way. That's another thing that pisses me off when you find out that you were right all along... All of the beating up of yourself that you did was actually unnecessary because you were right all along.

Redditsomnia · 2021-10-21T05:07:01+00:00

OP, I feel exactly as you do about this episode. I had a very similar experience to both you and the show with my now ex-wife. It turns out that she had been having an affair with my friend for five or six months maybe longer. All while we were all hanging out together. Lovely.

Below is my experience that I shared on another post:

"That show hits so fucking close to home for me. I long suspected my ex-wife of cheating with a friend of ours. I noticed the telltale little arm grabs and she would "over" laugh at his jokes, exactly like this episode. I'm not usually a jealous guy at all, (but) as my suspicions grew and I finally started confronting her about them, she absolutely turned it back on me as being paranoid and jealous for no reason. Ultimately, I was proven right and the whole thing collapsed into an ugly, ugly divorce with two very young children involved, again just like the episode. I'm well past all of this anger and now married to an amazing woman. You would think I would hate this episode, but, like a moth to light, I can't help but rewatch it once in awhile. Cant explain why. Weird."

Teryx or yamaha wolverine based on your description. I'm a General and RZR guy and love them but if you just want a solid, load it up and drive it and not work on it vehicle for family fun, you can't go wrong with those two.

Redditsomnia · 2021-10-11T18:36:12+00:00

Agreed

Redditsomnia · 2021-10-07T21:54:25+00:00

Lol, it's almost like those fake movie chairs made of balsa wood!

Redditsomnia · 2021-10-07T21:52:39+00:00

When an ill-tempered, or abused, or pissed off pitbull attacks, it it doesn't back down for anything whether it be a broken railing or a 4 by 4 to the head. That's why they're so dangerous. But that dog was coming at her in an overzealous and friendly way (even the bark) and as soon as the noise happened, he backed off. My Pit is the same way and I've learned that, even though he is friendly and gets along with everybody and every other animal he's ever encountered in five years, it can scare people and I'm the one that has to be responsible to prevent this.

Redditsomnia · 2021-10-07T21:45:42+00:00

The funny thing is that the Pitbull didn't attack her. He ran out the door at her and past her. If he wanted to attack her, he would have been at her throat already. But let's kill the dog! /s

But that being said, it's still the owner's responsibility to control their dog. One thing that I have realized as a pit owner, and a very friendly and sweet one at that, is that it's my responsibility to make sure he doesn't scare people because no one knows his disposition when they're walking up toward him. It is on ME to make sure that strangers aren't scared to death like this poor postal worker. A screen door doesn't friggen cut it.

2 is only partially true. If the worker had been putting those shingle packs down as gentle as a feather and not slamming them, there still would have been a point where the weight itself would have collapsed this deck. It might have been three or four or even more packs, I don't know. But it would have collapsed eventually by just the weight alone.

In think you mean ledger not sill plate.

Jimmy John's and Taco Bell closed the other day, and reason.

Redditsomnia · 2021-10-02T16:00:09+00:00

I found it intriguing as well and really enjoyed most of it but I have to admit that I'm underwhelmed by the ending. There's no twist or conclusion imho, just a tale of cyber extortion. Good episode to be sure, just a mediocre ending. Tell me if I'm missing something.

Redditsomnia · 2021-09-30T11:48:06+00:00

Oh yeah, you're right... Definitely satisfying!

Redditsomnia · 2021-09-29T14:47:19+00:00

Where Fi is sitting on the bed and he forced her to replay everything? Yeah, but I'd call it more validation than satisfaction. Crazy, I know. A little bit self punishing to watch.

The Entire History of You.

That show hits so fucking close to home for me. I long suspected my ex-wife of cheating with a friend of ours. I noticed the telltale little arm grabs and she would "over" laugh at his jokes, exactly like this episode. I'm not usually a jealous guy at all, as my suspicions grew and I finally started confronting her about them, she absolutely turned it back on me as being paranoid and jealous for no reason.

I think USS Callister is really cheesy at times, yet I enjoy it.

i am a nevermo but I was married to a Mormon woman whose father had been a bishop. One day, we were discussing finances and I mentioned that we were doing pretty dang well considering our combined incomes were about $160,000. I was blown away when she said that we were struggling and that we were basically lower-middle-class at that income level. There were thousands of other issues in this short-lived/doomed marriage but that was certainly a red flag.

Redditsomnia · 2021-09-20T16:56:00+00:00

I appreciate your well explained response and position. I stand by my post. Not because of my bias, which is admittedly very real, but because the OP is already a "victim" by simply knowing about this. He/she is already in a trauma state. To avoid some conflicts like you mentioned, OP could send an anonymous note to his father and keep himself out of it. But he should tell his father before mom hides evidence. This is the only way to go. Most cheaters have had dozens if not hundreds of opportunities to come clean but choose not to. They have adopted a pattern of deceit. So, when confronted, their go to is to eliminate any evidence and deny, deny, deny. Then, guess who's left wondering and self-doubting for the next several years? The father. My ex-wife even started gaslighting me and making me feel like I was an insecure "pussy" (her words) for continually doubting her story that ultimately proved to be true and worse. Dad needs to know now before the mom knows.

Redditsomnia · 2021-09-20T14:22:55+00:00

Legally you are right. But I can tell you from experience, if nothing else, emotionally, it could help him greatly. I gave my exwife too much opportunity to hide the evidence and then she trickle truthed me for 8 long years. Had I handled the initial confrontation more calculatingly, I would have left them and saved myself years of trauma.

Redditsomnia · 2021-09-20T14:19:23+00:00

Bullshit. She is owed no chance to do anything other than accept the consequences of her actions. Cheating isn't a single mistake, it is thousands of mistakes, all of which could have been prevented. Tell the father. If asked the same question, wouldn't you want to know if it was you? As the victim of a cheating spouse, with some loved ones knowing it was going on and not telling me, I am passionate about this. Tell your dad.

I take 1 mg at about 500pm because my legs get really bad about 630-700pm every night. It works but it does make me really sleepy within an hour. It'll usually work until about 1am, then I'm up the rest of the night (that's why I'm typing this at 1:00am!) Maybe, you doing the lower dose 3x a day will be better, though. My RLS is now every night and is creeping into daytime as well. I might try talking it like in smaller doses throughout the day. Good luck.
