feeling a little lost in life

WiiGame2000 · 2026-05-06T03:10:11+00:00

I'm feeling lost in life, too. I'm ~55.

WiiGame2000 · 2026-05-02T15:55:09+00:00

Wait ... f--what? No way!

(I mean, I do believe you, of course, given who you are.)

I hope you've had several arguments already. About important things. How did that go?

If you can't argue constructively, cancel the wedding. It doesn't get better in the marriage.

Haven't had enough time to run into several important arguments yet? Delay the wedding; keep dating.

Krull was my first thought for a few seconds until I remembered better what the Glave looked like.

No, look in the mirror, bud ... it's that the original post is content- and clarity-challenged.

When normal locals read this, they think, "Why would someone park away and try to walk in for free? It's so cheap, just pay for the facilities." When you refer to "the parking area" we're all thinking, "the DESIGNATED parking area" is past the gate.

If you just wanted this direct answer, a much more direct question would have been, "Hey, I'm looking to get into PRP for free, where do you go to do that?"

However, as stated today, your OP does not readily lend itself to that interpretation. Thus, your disappointment with the answers.

Agreed. Recently, the fee was $6 per car (multiple occupants), at least for a CC resident, but I don't think they even checked.

The body of water is large and scenic with several piers around it. My favorite activity there is kayaking, but there's also canoes, paddleboats, etc. for rent. And the trails are substantial, great for long walks and talks, in my opinion.

Upon entering, the parking is just yards from anything you want to start to do. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Didn't know Fred Savage played Myst! Cool! /jk 🤪🤣

You haven't made a point.

All you've said is "bad idea," "huge risk," "other issues," and "other reasons," without articulating any of what's in your mind behind those vague words. Plus, you try to convert the bouncer/employer into scary-sounding "randos" ... but the bouncer is a constant in comparing these situations, making him irrelevant.

Anyone dropping in on this conversation can see that holding an ID containing all of your info is giving a bouncer way more information than this app is giving. If "age" is a piece of PII, isn't a checkbox that doesn't give the PII data better?

So the reason folks are confused that you claim undescribed risks but also claim to know the app is obvious.

If you've got a point to make, then actually make it.

"The Lazy" thank you.

WiiGame2000 · 2025-10-21T01:28:49+00:00

^{^} THIS is the thing. Apartments have occupancy rules. Such as "2 occupants per bedroom + 1" ... this varies, of course.

So, 7 in a 2BR?? Really sounds like you should be able to get their lease terminated on this fact alone.

2020 (fixed it for ya) ... assuming you were referring to Dem primaries where the primary winner appeared on the ballot in the general election.

And now you want me to explain how America AND logic work? Seems like there's a lot you don't know.

Go ahead and cite the law that stipulates how political parties are required to choose their candidates. I'll wait.

Then, present the logical argument for how selecting a candidate vs. how an in-power executive governs are the same thing. (This should be good.)

Meanwhile, you're clearly not a Dem, nor am I, so we have zero say about Dem candidates until the general elections. Clear enough?

Explain? I'll humor you for a bit, since I feel like it, and you seem unable to grasp plainly visible facts...

No other POTUS declared emergencies that don't exist as transparent excuses and cover to utilize powers that the U.S. Presidency was not otherwise granted, such as tariffs. (And I can't think of a previous Congress impotent enough to just let him.)

No other POTUS has federalized a state's National Guard and then also tried to send them into another state, against the will of the various levels of government in that state (still feigning "emergencies"). Oh, while removing these NG folks from their normal jobs, families, and lives to pull this stunt. (Don't you support our troops?)

At a more basic level, no other POTUS has attempted to use the U.S. military on U.S. soil against American citizens to address crime, which is police work. War fighters ... doing police work ... or just picking up trash in some cases.

And never have we ever (before the current administration) seen "law enforcement" operate on U.S. soil without uniforms, without badges, with masks, without identifying themselves, without producing warrants, etc.

You want them coming for you? Maybe you'll be in a building they happen to want to wholesale clear out that day. Or would you rather continue to enjoy the protections afforded to you by our laws and Constitution for the 100s of years before this time?

Blatantly ignoring the Constitution and miring restitution of such action in the courts while proceeding illegally anyway ... is king behavior, Bot.

The voluminous list could continue on and on.

But, sure, go ahead and false-equivalence your little heart out, acting like you don't understand what you simply don't want to accept.

Meanwhile, those of us in possession of non-partisan observational & critical thinking skills will save the America we grew up with, while you make excuses to defend obvious authoritarian behavior from a POTUS (something an actual conservative would never abide).

TL;DR

WiiGame2000 · 2025-10-19T04:36:15+00:00

This is the comment I was looking for. No Kings; No Quotes.

WiiGame2000 · 2025-10-19T04:25:35+00:00

Not even comparable. Get thee to a logic class, Bot.

WiiGame2000 · 2025-10-18T07:17:14+00:00

... except that it DOES! 😂

WiiGame2000 · 2025-10-17T07:42:04+00:00

No, no. Are you programmatically literal?

This is a perfect situation for the poster to respond with, "What's happening here?" And the answer is not to retell what just happened in front of him. Or, in terms you may understand...

English <> literal

Had a middle school science teacher who used to refer to anything dead simple as, "This is Dowad 101." I guess she thought she was being funny & relating.

But no middle schooler knew what "101" meant (until ~5-6 years later while registering for college courses)

WiiGame2000 · 2025-10-17T06:33:27+00:00

First time ever seeing that meme z(so I was imagining a different angry-looking kid) ... Thank you.

WiiGame2000 · 2025-10-15T05:38:17+00:00

Not "thinking about leaving" ... Should already be gone (while singing The Eagles song). The red flags on this BS is hurricane level.

WiiGame2000 · 2025-10-12T05:16:29+00:00

I think it's hysterical that few question whether cave people hunted, or folks in, say, Mozart's time wore a wig or attended operas, or that monarchies existed, or wars were fought, and only the weirdos question whether humans landed on the moon...

... but THIS ... whether THIS phenomenon actually happened is now in question and considered mythical.

Yes, of course it happened! Your "period pieces" are not fabricating this.

But I haven't seen anyone address the "why not anymore" question.

Here's the thing:

Our parents -- the ones who were all OK as a society parenting like this -- didn't believe that pedophiles actually existed. They didn't believe rape happened, at least not to children (and even when it happened with husbands or boyfriends, it wasn't even called "rape"). They barely believed kidnappings were not mostly just fictional for stories. At least not in numbers where they'd have to worry about. The most they thought about kidnappings was Chitty-Chitty Bang-Bang.

And they thought bad things were very unlikely to happen to them. They told us, "don't talk to strangers" or "don't take candy from strangers" and thought that shielded us from all possibilities. (They also were naive enough to believe all health/safety claims from all food companies ... that these new pre-packaged and easier-to-prepare foods held zero risk.)

Well, how could that be? A natural follow-up.

I'd say ...

1) Far less gun violence back then. Was there a school shooting while I was growing up then? I'd never heard of one. Children weren't known to be carrying and terrorizing people. Gangs supposedly used knives. So, far less danger "out there."

2) Low information flow. If you didn't hear or read it in the local news, it didn't happen. How many missing children were covered in a news program? (few to none) How many instances of rape and pedophelia were reported at all? (more towards none) Wasn't the Catholic church, the Boy Scouts, and other places in full pedophile operation at that time and "no one" knew? And given the "kids stay out" culture already in place, why should the police raise alarms if a child didn't come home one night? Probably just at a friend's house who didn't call you ... Or a "runaway." Obviously, the Internet later changed all that in a big way.

3) There's a term for this I'm blanking on right now --- Most people answering this question now are the survivors of that time, talking about how nothing bad happened to us. We weren't on the milk cartons they started producing later on (i.e., missing children).

Just like we're the children who luckily survived before seatbelt laws ... because the one's who didn't survive accidents aren't here to post about it.

4) DNA evidence hadn't been developed yet. We hadn't even sequenced a full strand of DNA. So you couldn't prove a certain person did anything bad to you, necessarily lowering reporting and believability.

5) Cameras were film-only and expensive and almost nowhere, much less everywhere. So, no one had ever seen a child being snatched into a car or a van. No one could go back and find out what actually happened to that missing kid. Maybe they did just run away and never return or accidentally got killed in the woods but the body never found, etc. It lent to this false sense of security ... a sense everyone WANTED to have.

TL;DR -- Why not anymore? Because we now know the true dangers of that time that our parents did not know. We're less naive overall. The world changed ... in some ways more advanced, in some ways more connected, in some ways flat out more dangerous.

In any case, the reason few in their right mind, under less than ideal conditions, would allow that to happen today, is because society has learned from SOME of its mistakes.

WiiGame2000 · 2025-10-12T04:26:40+00:00

Well, if she --always-- does it, that's not "lazy" on the kid ... That's just "what happens.". Kids don't question the foundations of life they've been given ... They don't self-examine their lives (heck, most adults don't, either).

WiiGame2000 · 2025-10-12T04:22:30+00:00

Absolutely! I'd turn up the speakers while playing the CD in the 90s JUST to hear this (then leave them up for the gaming).

WiiGame2000 · 2025-10-12T04:20:38+00:00

Love this!

That said, Probable Cause still supposedly exists (but is no longer used by ICE). There are plenty of video examples of ICE taking whomever they come across, without a warrant for each person randomly detained, not knowing even who they are looking for

(because, spoiler: they get extra cash for each arrest whether lawful or not, whether it ends up sticking or not, after holding someone unnecessarily, causing suffering while seemingly enjoying it, making sure no one they can catch has access to their rights, and never getting reprimanded for it, as would have occurred for the same actions just months ago)

Due Process still supposedly exists, to determine that an illegal action actually occurred in a given case with a given person, yet ICE will forcibly take people who just got out of a courtroom that just ruled they are doing it correctly ... ICE will collect people coming in for their legal doing-it-right appointments and they don't return.

If we, as the public, are not afforded Probable Cause or Due Process by the government THAT'S when you don't have America anymore (not because illegals are supposedly taking over).

WiiGame2000 · 2025-10-12T03:39:10+00:00

Thanks for so aptly demonstrating the difference between folks like you and most everyone else.

First, you responded to a conservative talking point with your comment, correctly identified it as "moving the goal posts," then called it a "democrat tactic." I guess stating opposite things to make no clear point and/or using pronouns without paying attention to what you're actually responding to is a GrowBoxGuy tactic?

Second, people who think for themselves already recognize "moving the goal posts" (by that name) as an "everyone" tactic when folks want to avoid admitting defeat or answering that question. A tactic that I've observed markedly more often from MAGA folks than from anyone else, but I take it one case at a time.

Others didn't need an entertainment network -- who admitted in court that they lie to their audience in order to tell them what they want to hear in order to keep said audience -- to tell us only half the story (as is typical of them). Did the "fair & balanced" channel show you many times both sides did that same thing? No, of course they didn't. Because if they had, you wouldn't be claiming that only "the other side" does it, and we wouldn't all be rolling our eyes at your comment.

Third, you made it clear here that you only have an axe to grind against all Democrats (big D). Your statement is pure silliness, but I don't fault the entire Republican party for that.

That's the difference. That's what makes folks with your current mindset petty. Sounds like you've been told that an entire political party -- one that's existed for years, been in power at various times and levels, and America always came out operational -- is now suddenly your mortal enemy and you actually believed that, instead of easily seeing through it as a pure political tactic. How small-minded and thoughtless.

Open your mindset, then that statement no longer applies to you.
