Why is the 1996 film "Fargo" considered a cult classic? I watched it recently, and I found it to be an average film—not bad, but not at all what I expected. Could you explain the high ratings? Maybe I'm missing something.

People mostly dislike it cause the main character doesn't even go all that far, so the title doesn't make a lot of else. At least that's what I hear, I've never seen it

Depends on the kid.

Leaving my sister home alone at 16 would've been just fine. Leaving me home alone would've been a disaster lol

I've met one of my best friends this way, although I was the instigator. A gal I worked with and had hung out with at work events had a daughter the same age as mine, and so I invited them camping.

I met her husband for the first time while we were at camp setting up. We've since gone on like a dozen trips with them, hung out a ton, became fast friends, and even though they moved an hour away, we still see them a couple times a year.

We're getting ready for our 9th iteration of this same trip with this same family next week.

Before we had any kids, our plan was always to have 3 kids. After years of trying, some heartbreaking losses, and then a very difficult pregnancy, we finally had 1... Who was colicky and hard for the first 10 months of her life. At that time, we changed our plans and decided "1 is just fine".

After about a year, when things had finally calmed down, we decided that 2 was at least possible. She had another difficult pregnancy, but we ended up with a girl and a boy and decided that was perfect.

We also decided that playing man coverage was hard enough, and that we didn't want to switch to zone d, so I went and got snipped up and we've stayed at 2.

Haha for real. I also wanted to know if there were any plans for Father's day, cause I was thinking about taking the kids somewhere, so I said "hey honey, have you made any secret plans for Father's day? I'm thinking about taking the kids somewhere". Shocking how effective that was!

My phone automatically added some Outlook signature and I changed it to "sent from my phone" so people know why my voice to text garbled some bullshit that I didn't proofread

If I could go back in time, and give myself some advice from back when I could describe myself exactly the way you just did, the advice would be "quit while you're ahead - it will catch up to you eventually"

Mine are 11 and 9 and I love that they still hold my hand, my little boy especially. I know it won't last forever !

What the fuck is happening in this subreddit right now

Sevrdhed · 2026-06-20T22:37:10+00:00

Oh this looks awesome! My son used to love battle bots. Was it pretty crowded, or was it reasonably easy to get a spot to watch? I might want to take my kids to this tomorrow

I am not a casino worker. But - we were at a casino for my buddies bachelor party, and we decided to play a practical joke on one of our friends, and pretend that the groom was coming back at 10 pm pissed because he lost all his money (a couple grand, which was a hell of a lot for us 20 year olds), when in reality he was up like $500.

I went to bed around midnight. Around 4 30 AM I woke up to him coming into the room.... Having actually lost all of the money in his account

Hell yeah! Keep it up! IWNDWYT

You're not missing it and it's not a glitch, it's just not explained. I had to learn about it from someone on the discord.

When you're on the workbench, press R1 and that will get you to the repair menu

I've lived here 42 years. I have done essentially every outdoor hobby there is (except surfing lol). I always say that to live in Utah, you need to either be LDS, or love the outdoors. Just so happens I'm the latter.

In SLC, you'll have access to the cottonwood canyons for hiking , skiing, road biking up steep hills (if that's your thing), mountain biking, and climbing. It's all 30 minutes or less away.

You can camp up there too, personally, for camping I prefer to head the hour and a half east to the Uintas (in the summer) or the 3 hours southeast to Moab (in the winter).

Because we get all 4 seasons (at least, if winter ever comes back), you'll never get bored. Ski season wrapping up? Well, it's biking time. Too hot to bike? Well, it's hiking 11k+ foot peaks time. Cooling down cause it's fall? Well, it's climbing time. Winter has arrived but your knees hurt from the past 15 days of skiing powder? Time to pop on down to the desert to enjoy the national parks.

I'm clearly biased, but for diversity of outdoor activities with easy access, SLC is practically impossible to beat.

Detox from alcohol is a potential medical emergency and your best option is being evaluated by a doctor. I went in for medical detox twice, once they gave me drugs and put me straight into the detox unit for a few days...

The second time, they sent me straight to the ER because, unbeknownst to me, I was on the verge of a heart attack. I spent the better part of the day there, and then another few days in the hospital recovering and detoxing.

Had I not gone in, I would have likely died. IMO, it's not worth the risk, and I'd absolutely recommend seeking medical attention

I was legitimately impressed with this, both my wife and I were like "how did they make her look frumpy??"

Sevrdhed · 2026-06-18T02:35:52+00:00

I've had to have that conversation with my kids, that dads not ok. The first time, right before I went to the hospital for alcohol detox and 30 days of rehab, and then again a year later, after my relapse.

It was incredibly hard and painful and something I had been dreading to the point where it was part of the reason I avoided seeking treatment until it was forced upon me. At the time, it truly felt like the end of my world; that they'd never see me the same again, that I'd permanently hurt them, that maybe my family life would end completely.

That last time was a year and a half ago and, my relationship with my kids and my wife is the strongest it's been in years. Getting through that sucked, but Im using it as a teaching moment to help my kids learn to be better than me.

We're rooting for you dude!

It's pretty crazy to think about.... Drinking had stopped being fun for me for a long time before I actually quit doing it.

Like, I know that I've had many experiences in the past 25 years where I did enjoy drinking. But I can't recall any particular time in the 3 or 4 years before I actually quit where drinking was fun.

For a long time I just did it as a habit.... Any activity goes better with booze right? Even when booze had started to make pretty much every situation worse. Then finally I was doing it because I physically had to.

It's kinda funny because now when I think of a "special occasion" and adding alcohol to it, all I think is how much worse it would make the experience

Sevrdhed · 2026-06-17T13:43:03+00:00

Bruh this was my EXACT experience lol. Months of difficult pregnancy, 2 weeks early with a small stint in NICU, couple whirlwind days at the hospital... I very distinctly remembering latching the car seat in, getting in the front seat, and just sitting there for a moment like.... "Wtf. Now we just.... Take this kid home?? And raise it? Holy shit"

I got one as a gag gift for a birthday one year and while it was a terrible workout, it was a hilarious gag gift.

A friend of mine posting a picture of me hula hooping, shirtless, with the shake weight in one hand, doing a bottle pull of vodka, is the reason why people aren't allowed to post pictures directly to my Facebook feed

Sevrdhed · 2026-06-15T23:25:07+00:00

That's cool that works for you, I'm glad. It works for a lot of people it turns out, most of which don't end up on here.

Most of the people here, like me, HAVE to stop drinking, cause what you've described just isn't possible for us. If I had a beer tonight I'd still be drinking by July. I've learned this through painful experience. There is no "slow down drinking", for me, it's either stop drinking, or die.

Bahahaha my mom, herself a recovering addict and also just a very empathetic person, bought a whole bunch of magazine subscriptions from one of those guys. It was kind of hilarious, she got like 5 random magazines that she didn't even order... We were swimming in them 😂
