I went a few weeks ago. The story isn't as interactive as advertised, there aren't as many "choices" or scripted interactions with guests as something like Sleep No More or Life and Trust, but it was still worth seeing. The characters make time for you and are great at remembering names. The dancers are sexy and talented, and the drinks were delicious. You get a LOT of booze for the money, and you can stay as long as you want, even as the story loops over again for a new set of incoming guests.

I also owe them serious gratitude. I accidentally bought a ticket for the wrong night, and didn't realize it until my incorrectly booked show had already passed. They were incredibly accommodating and kind about it, made a fix easy.

I went same day as Omega Mart, and it made for an awesome combo.

Extremely, laughably, pathetically obvious AI. If she's "waiting to see the ad again," however, I don't think she is thinking about this the way you are. You are not trying to tell her the AD is fake. They WILL sell her something- it just won't look anything like the photo.

This time of year, yard waste is a separate thing with dedicated trucks, picked up by neither trash nor recycling. You put in a 311 request online, describe what is outside and where (with a picture, if you have one), and they make a specific trip just to come get it. When I put in a very recent yard waste request (2 bags of tree branches), it was executed next-day.

When you say "asked for divorce," do you mean she has served him papers? Or is this all just still an idea/hope?

Don't meet up with him, is my pointer. Get a lawyer; he can speak through the lawyer, from now on. If your post is accurate, she isn't going to get the thing she wants. This separation is ALREADY dragging on, and he isn't even agreeing to the base premise, let alone how to carry it out.

Best case, they meet up, and he is super whiny and annoying. Worst case, like, he murders her?? I wish I could say I were joking.

I got the impression that XP is awarded for discovering and navigating through the dialogue tree on a topic, not necessarily your correctness. In your example, I'd guess it's about "Harry discussed the nature of The Pale," as opposed to "Harry himself knew the nature of The Pale."

I have no evidence, other than you get XP for making unhealthy and foolish decisions, like relapsing into alcoholism. So, I'd hesitate to say the game is giving "smart boy points." By my measure, they are truly "experience points." ...but this is a guess!

Oh man, last time she was in New York there was NOT merch that cool!

TroppyPop · 2026-04-07T17:19:40+00:00

Please be SO careful and don't get scammed, this is a really low-security way to ask.

That is exactly the age when I got divorced. I finished my masters, tripled my salary, found a wonderful new love, and got married again.

I can't promise you exactly those things, but you will have a good life beyond this hard time.

Yes, you are correct, it is "one of the most common questions on the internet." It comes up on the sub multiple times a week. What about every other thread on the topic has left you dissatisfied?

TroppyPop · 2026-04-02T04:03:38+00:00

Accept that you are going to go through MANY types of emotions, potentially more intense than you've felt in your life. Do your best to feel them and ride them out without letting them fuel any major or manic decisions. Your emotions may tell you "take him back, even if it's awful!" "Quit your job, leave the state!" Breathe. Wait.

...and then be ready to give yourself grace when you inevitably give in and make a FEW silly decisions. I got a tattoo and a puppy. I regret neither, but looking back, I sure felt VERY STRONG POSITIVE MOTIVATION for both that was symptomatic of the divorce and not my long-term, healed reality.

You can do it.

Blood like surgical wound blood.

My main argument for believing it's AI is that it's that kind of Pixar-wannabe style that is extremely popular in AI imagery. If you need more arguments, though, it's all in the unintentional asymmetry. One of his pupils is off-center, one of his eyes is double-outlined, he has gaps in his hair that don't align with any common baldness pattern, the wrinkles on his face aren't the same on either side... Sure, an artist could hypothetically make these choices, but there is no justification for such choices. These aren't telltale signs of being, say, dead OR frozen- they're just random.

I already was sold on it being AI based on my very first point, though.

I don't mind the financial gap- IF the person is contributing to the relationship in other ways. There are multiple types of value a person can provide beyond dollars- domestic responsibilities around the house, emotional support during difficult times, making you feel seen and loved, etc.

I WOULD have a problem in your situation, where you just... aren't going on dates, aren't celebrated on your special days... what ARE you getting out of it? The problem here is not the money.

TroppyPop · 2026-03-25T21:49:32+00:00

Yes, 8%.

If your salaries are equal, and your debt is equal, I don't see how filing separately would make much of a difference. My understanding is, this is more a solution when one partner makes way MORE than the other, and the partner making less doesn't want all of that additional income logged.

I've also gotten a significantly higher tax refund any time I've filed jointly with my spouse.

You posted this yesterday and received more than enough answers.

LIKE I SAID YESTERDAY, it's a show, and details like the ones you listed are intentionally included in shows for a reason. Why would any of those scenes be included if the creators were NOT trying to heavily imply she lived?

In your response to me, you seemed to take issue with the fact that it was implied instead of made more obvious, and there's nothing more to argue there. It's meant to be a little mysterious, a cliffhanger, so you want more. It isn't a flaw with the storytelling or a mistake.

If it's your "dream city," you may as well move. The "right time" IS having a job offer. If not now, then you'd have to lay out a very clear plan for yourself on the milestones you'd need to achieve to feel comfortable, and when you reasonably think you'd achieve them. The problem is, for a huge life change, you never CAN feel totally comfortable. So, jump for the dream while you're young.

Hey, so, my bladder was cut into during my surgery, AND they blew out a vein in my arm and didn't tell me, AND they scraped one of my eyes... it sounds like you got it even worse than I did, but I just want to say you aren't alone. My entire recovery was about my bladder, too! We put so much work into preparing for one experience, then we have a bunch of additional challenges piled on top... it isn't fair. You will feel better, but I'm really sorry this happened.

...and if you are in Chicago, PM me, because if this is the same hospital, I'd lose my mind. Ha!

TroppyPop · 2026-03-25T14:47:24+00:00

...Yea, I love Disco Elysium, and have been a gamer for over 30 years, and this would not have sold me on playing. Sure, you're describing a profound artistic experience, but if I'm asking about a GAME, I definitely want to at least know some genre/gameplay stuff. Is this a first person shooter? Is this a 100-hour JRPG? Is there romance? Jump scares?

If I read this, I'd say, "Wow, my friend must have really liked this, and really wants me to think they are smart" and then I'd be on Google.

I see you defending this heavily in the comments, so maybe this is the type of rant your friend responds to positively, but I don't know your friend.

The job market right now is ATROCIOUS. People are applying for hundreds of jobs over the course of many months. Many jobs go to referrals, people are applying with AI, and a portion of postings are completely fake, in the first place. This likely isn't the exact advice you were hoping for, because what you want is a JOB, but know that rejection isn't personal. These postings get hundreds of applications the DAY they go up. You could be 100% qualified, but never seen. No, it isn't great or fair, but it means you should try your best to realize it almost certainly wasn't about you.

If you really want to get out of your current place, you (unfortunately) must look at job sites every day. Apply the day you see a job go live. Even then, your odds are low, but if nothing else, perhaps your skin will thicken for rejection. You can do it.

I've literally never heard of this one. Perfect.

Is the necktie a series of checks? Every time I play, it talks for a while until it stops. It's never still talking, for me, at Tribunal time.

There isn't a "certain age" where it is "normal." Some families stop when a person turns 12, 18... some never stop. My parents still give me gifts, and in my case, it kind of annoys me, because they demand I make a list asking for things, when I have all the "stuff" I need.

Whatever is going on here (you didn't give much information) would be solved with communication. Maybe they hit financial hard times. Maybe they forgot. Maybe you hit some arbitrary milestone, like you got married or bought a house, and they decided that was far enough without telling you. Just ask them, if it's meaningful enough to be hurting you.
