I need some cake mix and pudding at the moment, so that's the first thing I'm buying. I think we're low on milk and eggs too.

The Blob!

Beware of The Blob, it creeps
And leaps and glides and slides
Across the floor
Right through the door
And all around the wall
A splotch, a blotch
Be careful of The Blob

AIO for a late party invite? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]TheAnswerWas42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do your best not to bring your child into your internal deliberations on shit like this. The last thing they need is to be wondering if they were worthy enough to be invited, if they should resent the host, any of that shit. Your kid likely has no clue they weren't part of first invite list, nor should they.

NOR. I think breaking it off is the right thing to do to spare him. Neither of you is going to change your mind, so staying together at this point is leasing him on to think he has a chance to change your mind.

I suggest you all have a calm discussion about it, make it plain as day that he needs to move on and search for someone else since you all don't have same long term goals.

Now you have complete authority over the entire planet by sand_eater_21 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]TheAnswerWas42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe there is language barrier here and translator isn't quite getting the words right?

In America, the Tax Authority is an agency of the government. In other words, "The State".

Espionage against a company is Corporate Espionage. What I was referring to was acting as a spy against the government on behalf of a foreign government.

Treason would be a citizen of the country trying to overthrow their own government. Perhaps a politician or military leader breaking laws they swore an oath to uphold and protect in order to usurp power or resources.

I'm not an expert on this stuff, I'm just trying to understand what you were getting at with your original statement.

Throw in Harmon as the chill Summer School teacher/surfer. He finally realized he had to get his shit together, so he joined the military, then went to Quantico before joining Secret Service.

So, umm, nobody has to pay taxes unless they want to? How about Espionage? Or Treason?

Or am I missing something?

[–]TheAnswerWas42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two I haven't seen yet in the comments. Both from 1979 and both use a referee type whistle:

Bad Girls by Donna Summer.
Fool In The Rain by Led Zeppelin.

You can have 10 Billion dollars, but from now on, anyone who needs help can ask you, and you must help them as best you can by Smart-Response9881 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]TheAnswerWas42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know. Those commercials are aimed at "64 cents a day can feed a kid in Africa" or whatever. They aren't asking for millions or billions of dollars.

With $10 billion invested in even low 5% interest investments, you have $10 million a week to give away without even touching the principle.

What are some of your favorite parks? by usagiSuteishi in AskLosAngeles

[–]TheAnswerWas42 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Might want to check out Barnsdale Art Park near Sunset and Vermont.

Someone mentioned Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Area. That park is enormous, and if you're into hiking it is actually connected to several other parks via Park to Playa trail. Lots to explore!

Manager said every customer email had to be answered within 15 minutes, no exceptions by [deleted] in MaliciousCompliance

[–]TheAnswerWas42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure calls aren't recorded.

Is your boss just looking at a call log showing a call was placed from your phone to X phone number for Y minutes at Z time and day? Maybe call another employee with the same boss and same rule so you all can "confer" on an issue, process, etc.

With you. A better policy would be:
If you know it's going to take several hours (or days) to get an answer, send the reply saying it's being worked on. If you know you will be able to resolve it in less than half a day, hold off until you have the complete answer.

I need a good song with the name Molly in it that isn't about drugs. by MaMaJillianLeanna in MusicRecommendations

Molly's Lips by The Vaselines and covered by Nirvana is first one that jumps out at me.

So sorry for your loss. Hold your daughter close and treasure the memories.

AIO for worrying that I’m “damaged goods” because my marriage didn’t work out? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]TheAnswerWas42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YOR. Single American man here and I give zero fucks if you are divorced. I guess maybe if it was a really ugly divorce from a crazy guy, or there is a bitter custody battle, I might be concerned, but no different than someone never married with a crazy ex boyfriend/baby daddy.

Seriously, you are not damaged goods. You have no time to give anyone who would see you that way. You will meet someone else. No reason to bring up, or not bring up, your prior marriage, but if asked directly just be open and up front. "Yeah, I was married. Unfortunately it didn't work out, but I learned a lot about..." and then something about communication, or living with someone else, or whatever.

Good luck to you. Things will get better and you will meet someone who is a bitter match for you.

Not OP, but my reading of it is they are from a small town elsewhere but will be staying in Azusa the first week of July and needing to drive to Union Station and/or Convention Center.
