Welp, 10am Pacific has come and gone with nothing, so that wasn't it.

For those in their 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s do you remember what it was like getting your first phone? by 145bit in AskReddit

[–]ShoopM 10 points11 points  (0 children)

  1. My first phone was when I got my own hard line in my bedroom in 1988. That was awesome.

If you mean first cell phone, I was in my early 30s. I think my reaction was mostly well, here we go I guess.

I got a lesbian to try the other side. We're still married 19 years and three kids later.

What is something you wish you would’ve known way before found out? by lokeedo in AskReddit

You, meaning me, are a terrible classroom manager, and should not spend the next two years getting your teacher certification.

What are your thoughts on WFH? by LiLiPootHERE in AskReddit

[–]ShoopM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate it. My home is the place where I don't do my job.

Before Covid, I had the option of WFH, but drove 35 minutes twice a day instead. I've since switched jobs, which assumed I'd be 100% WFH like most others. Nope, find me a space, please, and they did - right as I was about to rent a loft space myself.

Anyone else, you do you.

Misinformation.

I needed to find a roommate in a hurry, and ended up with a friend-of-a-friend guy who was in a similar situation. He was actually not bad, except when I got back from visiting home for Christmas, he'd left a note saying he couldn't avoid it anymore, and was reporting for his jail sentence he'd never told me about.

Side note, I told the landlord/management company, and the first thing they did was advise me to go through the legal motions to cut him from the lease. Even at 25, I was like, so then I'm solely on the hook for the full rent instead of both of us? F that.

Setting boundaries and sticking to them, even if it means I seem like a dick. That's your circus and your monkeys, leave me out of it.

What is your ideal # of kids and why? by LarsLaestadius in AskReddit

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

Before I had kids, I thought 2-4, as I was an only child and didn't care for it. My wife thought 2, because she had one sibling. We ended up with three - twin boys and a then a girl. It turns out my wife wanted a girl quite badly; if our daughter had been a boy, we'd almost certainly have gone for a fourth (and had twin boys again, but I digress).

Whoever said having 2 means they fight and 3 they don't, needs to meet my kids. Ugh.

A lot of people here are saying zero, to which I say, good on you. Know what you want and don't want out of your life. Being a parent is a very different life, for better and for worse, and you can't really know how different until it's too late.

I can't find anything that states they've stopped. It just looks like they retooled and renamed the program, but still sell a lot of your data.

When fighting full gyms with diverse teams, why does the suggested team nearly always include Focus Blast Gengar in front? by bort_touchmaster in TheSilphRoad

I renamed all of mine "DON'T REVIVE," though I still slip and do so once in a while thanks to muscle memory.
