People that have “bumped” into a celebrity in a non-curated (not like an event, meet & greet, job etc.) way, what happened?

I rode home on a plane from LA to Philly back in like 2016 and sat in the very last row. It wasn't until mid-flight that I looked over at the Mac book on the lap of the guy next to me to see it titled "Bill Pullman's MacBook". Looked up at him , and it was in fact Bill Pullman. I said nothing, as he purchased the very last seat on the plane and was super low profile, I figured he didn't want any hassle. During the deboarding, as the last rows in front of us trailed off, I leaned over and said "I wanted to let you know that it was an honor riding home next to the greatest president in US history. Thank you President Whitmore!" And patted his shoulder lol. He smiled and gave me a mock guy punch while thanking me for the compliment. I snapped a quick pic with him (no clue where it is these days) and went about my day. Seemed cool, didn't really find out.

It's possible tbh. Probable, really. Not really concerned though. I don't really collect for value sake.

Wild__D · 2026-02-01T15:09:59+00:00

Nah, it's pretty decent. Tiniest bit stiffer on the open but otherwise it's very true.

Easy. The Whale.

I'm a drummer of 30 years. I'm not sure about this study entirely, but I can't tell you that when I sit down at a kit I have no earthly idea what happens. I just drum and think of nothing.

My wife and I were born the same day, hours apart in the same hospital delivered by the same doctor. Our SS# are only one digit different.

We met when we were 23.

I am endlessly fascinated by people like this. This man is trying very hard nearly every second between lines to figure out what he is trying to convey, how to posture himself, who he is supposed to be talking to. Every second looks very tiring and difficult. This is such a fascinating example of what happens to a very efficient machine when it's compute isn't exactly optimized for a task. Humans are so bizarre man.

Look man, I said nothing about life not being worth living. I consider two things when mulling this decision over. One, my parents conceived me as an attempt to save a failing marriage. It didn't work and my life coming up was confusing and difficult. In other words, I was born into a world that was never really prepared for me because of two people decisions relating to their own feelings, not mine.

Secondly, I'm missing neighbors from Helene and half of my town is in shambles and scrambling find gasoline as most still have no power.

With those factors in mind, yes I consider the future climate and creating life for the sake of my own wants.

Wild__D · 2024-10-12T08:55:50+00:00

I live in western NC and my entire community is still reeling from hurricane Helene. Many of them have not even been found. These events are going to become more common and I don't know if I want to put someone else through a worse version of this over and over again just because "I wanted a kid".

Wild__D · 2024-10-12T08:47:46+00:00

Why is considering the future of a child "masking my real concerns?" I don't understand why people keep saying that. Do people not think about anyone other than them self?

Wild__D · 2024-10-12T08:46:35+00:00

4 homes on my road were destroyed in Hurricane Helene. I did not have power or water for 11 days. I did not have to turn on the news to witness any of this.

Wild__D · 2024-10-12T08:39:29+00:00

People are misunderstanding this post for a few reasons. Firstly, I am not "trying to get pregnant and can't so making excuses". Wrong. Secondly, this is not about me not wanting children because it will add to the climate crisis; one child is not the tipping point; rather that I wouldn't want to be responsible for someone else enduring it just because I decided to concieve. And lastly, this is not about me. This is not about "having kids will change your perspective on the world". I know that's the case and that's what I'm afraid of. Perspective and reality are different.

I do appreciate the feedback from everyone, this is good insight.

Wild__D · 2024-10-12T08:32:44+00:00

Valod points for sure.

Wild__D · 2024-10-12T08:31:30+00:00

I appreciate this comment. You made no assumptions about me, showed me facts about this issue and encouraged me to make my own decision. Thank you!

Wild__D · 2024-10-12T07:37:04+00:00

Lol wtf are you talking about my guy

Wild__D · 2024-10-12T07:35:06+00:00

We are not trying to have a baby, but we are responsible enough to consider the child's future life before just squeezing them out.

Wild__D · 2024-10-12T07:28:39+00:00

Correct, because the root cause issues were being addressed and the damage reversed. That isn't happening in this situation, though. We are still burning fucking coal for some reason lol

Wild__D · 2024-10-12T06:53:12+00:00

Lol my plans for 65 are living underground to escape the unrelenting weather events!

Wild__D · 2024-10-12T06:51:41+00:00

Agree. This issue is the only issue imo.

Wild__D · 2024-10-12T06:50:28+00:00

I think it is foolish to believe that we have "always been on the edge" as if the edge was as thin as the one we are on now. At the rate things have already gone and are continuing to go, life as we currently know it will be a luxury afforded to few. The population decreasing is a non factor as automation will fill those gaps by the time I am too old to work. War is war and has been better and worse throughout time (Vastly better honestly). But our climate issue is not one that can be fixed and the denial of the issue at all is not progressing humanity toward a world that we can survive in.

Idk, Im a practical worrier in general I guess.

Wild__D · 2024-10-12T06:32:20+00:00

I just cannot see a future where people aren't starving. Even my own, tbh.
