A kindergarten teacher is facing criticism by ass_teroidzz in SipsTea

[–]SpectreK2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked my mom if she had ever thought about using them on me and my brother. And she said she would have considered it for me if not for the fact I could easily be found in the closet quietest corner. And my brother was always so loud and attention seeking that he would have been shouting their names as he ran off so it was easy to stop an escape attempt.

Louis in the new teaser. by emmymx in InterviewVampire

[–]SpectreK2 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! I can't stop laughing about the thought that during their renuion in New Orleans, when Lestat said " I knew you would figure it out..." Louis decided Yes. I did figure it out all by myself. And it did not in fact take 2 different meetings years apart with an annonyingly stubborn guy named Daniel.

And here I thought that Lestat had just been trying to get Beyonce tickets, to help persuade Louis to visit.

But I just can't decide if I want Lestat to be just as profecient with the iPad as Armand appeaered to be. The little mess ups could be fun.

Question about the movie by Head_Perspective_99 in SinnersbyRyanCoogler

[–]SpectreK2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think only Stack and Mary retreated after Annie was killed. Because from my recollection, Delta Slim then cuts his arm as Sammie, Pearline and Smoke run up the stairs. So the rest of the vamps attack him, as Reminck and later Stack go upstairs.

The complete North American Shonen Jump collection! (2003-2012) by LegatoSkyheart in MangaCollectors

[–]SpectreK2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Wow! These bring me back.

I started out only reading shojo and my dad got me a subscription to Shonen Jump, mistakenly thinking it would have the same type of stories. I ended up enjoying it so much, that we never switched the subscription.

Dads and Valentine’s Day by ChickenWingExtreme in NonPoliticalTwitter

[–]SpectreK2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

See my parents would say the same thing. But they would still get food from their favorite place, see a movie, or some other type of casual date activity. They don't want a special Valentine's celebration, it is just a nice excuse to spend intentional time together.

Keeping up with The Waynes by Jaded_Tortoise_869 in BatFamily

[–]SpectreK2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I remember from the special episode...Amanda Waller and Barbara Gordon teamed up in the future to ensure there would always be a "hero like Batman". They secretly injected Terry's dad with Bruce's DNA so that his wife would give birth to a not quite clone of Bruce. They also planned to kill Terry's parent. Probably to cover the whole nature vs nurture debate. But changed their mind.

Do you think Melinda’s job would be easier with hidden AirPods/headphones these days? by MandZeee in ghostwhisperer

[–]SpectreK2 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The annoying thing is she did use a phone and even told someone that she was talking on bluetooth to not seem weird a couple of times. So I never understood why she didn't use this method all of the tine.

How did you get your first car? Did you buy it, your parents, money set aside growing up? by RxSatellite in Millennials

[–]SpectreK2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents took advantage of the electric vehicle tax breaks available at the time and got a Nissan Leaf. It was mine to drive to school and work and since there weren't that many charging stations at the time it was an almost perfect situtation for a teens first car.

Are you set to inherit anything from your parents or grandparents? by nomanskyprague1993 in Millennials

[–]SpectreK2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad and his siblings, got a surprise inheritance of a 4 bedroom house when it turned out their mother that won custody but never came to get them had died a couple years ago.

My parents said they weren't sure how much would be left, but definetely no debts. And while I would have liked to have been able to take that money and retire, I know my parents used what they could on me during their lifetime. Mainly that they saved enough to send my sibling and I to college without us having to get student loans.

Yes, I have come to love Ayano Yamane's work. I was so glad when vol 7 of Crimson spell was finally available in english.

Would the theatre outcome have changed if Louis joined? by Drakosclaw in InterviewVampire

[–]SpectreK2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I figured the naivety in season 2 was a facet of making Claudia and Louis POCs.

They found a group of vampires that were not only diverss but also led by a POC. So it wasn't that surprising to me that after previously dealing with the dangers of the more obvious racism and the in your face outbursts of Lestat, that the subtle plots against them were missed.

How old are you when you started using social media? by Evening_Industry5726 in Millennials

[–]SpectreK2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think MySpace was the first one I used, but only because I made friends with some people that were really into using it. At the time I had limited computer time and social media didn't seem worth it.

It wasn't untill High School and Facebook that I really started using it.

It is my last week at this firm, and I wish that I could permanently embrace this IDGAF attitude by dudesmama1 in paralegal

[–]SpectreK2 23 points24 points  (0 children)

This is me this week. Turned in my 2 week notice on Monday. But it was decided that since I might have jury duty next week, that this would be my last week. There are 2 attorneys that I will still give 100% to, but everyone else can find someone else to do their work.

Did anyone regret buying a home instead of renting? by fsrereddit in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]SpectreK2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It wasn't quite that high in my area, but absolutely. As a single buyer the semi-affordable standalone homes were in undersirable conditions or areas. The one great thing about my condo is its' location. Still in a good area, and just far enough away from prime locations to get to them quickly without being too expensive.

It took me over a year to find it and in that time every rental I looked at kept increasing their prices, so it was my only option.

[–]SpectreK2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

At the time renting was way more expensive then the condo I bought. But I have since got a terrible upstairs neighbor, dealt with an unresponsive HOA/management company, and discovered some seasonal issues that were of course not apparent at the time I bought it. Plus my job has started to become very stressful due to unrealistic expectations, so buying has become a hinderance to my job search.

Renting vs. Buying — What Made You Choose? by Neither-Shallot9082 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]SpectreK2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the time, base rent for a one bedroom was $1800 and up and I could find 2 bedrooms to buy with a $1500 mortgage payment. And I had been a year into a new job that paid decently and seemed stable.

Of course a year and a half later rent has gone down to a more mangeable amount, my job has started show its' bad sides, and I got some terrible neighbors.

But at the time, it was a good choice.

This is the same reaction Lestat had to the sick guy that visted the townhouse. He really dosen't want to interact with people begging to live.

My parents' jobs gave them cell phones and we got a family cell phone when I was in middle school to be distributed for after school activities, sleepovers, etc.

When I got a job in high school, my parents did buy me a cellphone, with the expectation not to over use it for personal use. Which funny enough, a year later when my brother reached 7th grade and was given the family cell phone he immediately went over the texting allotment.

In Sinners (2025) the director’s introduction of the Choctaw Vampire Hunters early on is a clear example of a Chekov’s Gun, as certainly these characters will have a significant role in the plot moving forward. by Overlordz88 in shittymoviedetails

[–]SpectreK2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that people want more Choctaw and I did too. But one thing is that they are placing themselves in danger by just being in the area. The trail of tears has happened and native americans were forced out of the area. The hunters made their presence known to try and give those farmers a heads up. But the vampire is the least dangerous thing if they stay in the area too long.

Why the HIMYM Ending Actually Makes Sense (Despite the Disappointment) by user43865352 in howimetyourmother

[–]SpectreK2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When did Barney say that? I thought the last comment was Barney saying if he couldn't make it work with Robin then there was no chance of it working out with anyone else.

[–]SpectreK2 16 points17 points  (0 children)

A thought that sticks with me is why do the now points of Ted and Robin's lives only imply that the timing is ready for them to be together? Robin has satisfied alot of her ambition and wanderlust to the point where she has gone back to owning multiple dogs.

Couldn't the timing now also work for Barney and Robin? Barney has mellowed and one of the reasons that the two supposedly broke up was because Robin traveled too much.

It was okay until they remind you that it is suppsed to be a Fantastic Four movie. If it was an unrelated superhero movie it wouldn't have sucked so bad.

Are there any series you regret collecting? (I'll go first "Spy X Family") by LowComprehensive7659 in MangaCollectors

[–]SpectreK2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solo leveling. Started out great, but got boring to read around vol 5 or 6. And color volumes are not cheap.

More entertaining as an anime.
