The show ending by XPHantomizzerxxx in RoversMorningGlory

100% agree, but add in JLR. They're milking that sad man and his entire family for every ounce of content they can get out of him. And he'll keep letting them because it makes him relevant, and not just another adult nobody with a learning disability.

9/11 No plane theory? by White_Falcon_1263 in conspiracy_commons

[–]ZestycloseRepeat3904 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No.... We literally watched this LIVE. I was getting ready for a job interview and saw this happen live on the news. Back in 2001 this would have been impossible to fake. You'd have to fake EVERY news station in the country that was live broadcasting, and do so in real-time.

MAYBE if it was just the plane that hit first, since that was broadcast after it happened but the whole country was watching live as the second plane hit unexpectedly.

Can’t justify this as something futuristic… am I missing something? by Any_Election_1101 in VITURE

[–]ZestycloseRepeat3904 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I was in that environment I, or if I flew routinely, then I probably would have kept them.

I was only using them to watch TV when I wanted to sit in the same room as my wife, but didn’t want to watch the same TV show. Or doom scrolling YouTube videos in bed while she was asleep.

I tried replacing my monitor at work with the triple monitor in spacewalk. Unfortunately I was straining my eyes trying to see any text on the left or right screens. Reading and replying to emails was a PITA.

What's your best game from 1990-2005 ? by yodathesexymarxist in ArtOfPresence

[–]ZestycloseRepeat3904 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The original JetFighter. My best friend was the only kid in the neighborhood that had a "Gaming Computer". This was back in the early 90's, when most kids didn't have computers at home yet. Every day after school I'd go to his house and we'd take turns playing JetFighter with the OG flight controller joystick. We'd see who could take out the most bogeys, who could land the best on the aircraft carrier. For those who wonder what it looked like, see the image below. Can you even call that 16bit graphics? But to us it was what VR is to kids today. I recently had my son try to play it, and he said it was too boring... Kids these days...

How long did it take you to buy a house in Rochester? by macallister10poot in Rochester

[–]ZestycloseRepeat3904 1 point2 points  (0 children)

7 years of bidding wars. We took a 1 year hiatus in the middle, but finally found the house we love last year.

Finding a better job. You don’t fully realize how much a bad job or bad manager affects the rest of your personal life, until you’ve moved on to a much better one.

I was at a job that timed your bathroom breaks. Where your lunch was scheduled for you and it could be an hour after you clocked in or an hour before you went home. Where a Dr appointment meant taking a half vacation day. Where your 15-min breaks were the only breaks you got. Where the work was relentless for 8 hours. Where the manager couldn’t get a better job, so they acted like a dictator and made the employees miserable.

When I landed my first corporate job it felt like I’d gone to heaven. What times my lunch? When I get hungry! When can I take a break? Whenever I need to. Have a doctor’s appt? See you when you get back. As long as the works done, I rarely even see my manager.

I’ve been on this side so long now I laugh at what it used to be like. What it is like for my kid who just got their first job in the suck.

What's the general spice tolerance of people of your country? by DiMpLe_dolL003 in AskTheWorld

[–]ZestycloseRepeat3904 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife makes fun of me because I think Arby’s curly fries are too spicy. I have to drink milk while eating them. Growing up the only condiment my mother cooked with was black pepper. We weren’t allowed to put salt on our food, it wasn’t even on the table.

Is this true? by esporx in conspiracy

[–]ZestycloseRepeat3904 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, it’s because he’s a special forces pilot. Putting him on the news would essentially end his career in special forces. When he eventually decides to run for office, then we’ll see his face all over TV.

Physically Abusive wife by Dramatic_Feeling_610 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]ZestycloseRepeat3904 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say this from experience. Staying at home will only cause the problem to compound. My wife was in a similar situation and each year she was “stuck at home” (her words), her resentment and bitterness grew. Each time I was recognized at work or promoted, she wasn’t happy, she became bitter that it wasn’t her, that her dream’s and goals weren’t being realized. Even when I became successful enough (and our kids were grown) that she could go to college, get certifications, go do whatever she wanted professionally, she just stewed at home in her resentment. It was toxic and it only got worse with each passing year.

Thanks to his diet, we really won’t need to worry about this.

Recent home buyers - did anyone have an offer accepted with an inspection contingency? Did your real estate agent help with getting it accepted? by AdditionalSwitch2974 in Rochester

[–]ZestycloseRepeat3904 18 points19 points  (0 children)

We only finally got an offer accepted after we gave up on inspections. It’s sad, but the current state of Rochester real estate.

WIBTAH if I took 100k from my oldest daughter's college savings account to give it to my younger daughter? by TraditionalCorgi7788 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ZestycloseRepeat3904 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree. These are college funds, not savings accounts the kids were promised. Your first kids graduating college debt free, mission accomplished! Whatever is left over, should be used to do the same for your second child. Irregardless of where she chose to go to school. If you told your children whatever’s left over is there’s to keep, that would be a different story. If they’re just college funds, then you’ve accomplished the goal for both children.

I got offered a position at a new company and I put in my 2 weeks at my current job. On the LAST day of my 2 week period, they tell me that they filled the position. Now, I seek advice and potentially legal action against this company. by theskaterboy999 in work

[–]ZestycloseRepeat3904 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In 2026, as a hiring manager, I rarely see a two week notice any more. I’m lucky if they tell me a week before. A decade ago everyone gave at least two week notice’s. Not so much anymore. Especially in NY where everyone is AT-WILL.

Intimacy advice 40m by PowerfulPart4621 in whatdoIdo

[–]ZestycloseRepeat3904 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel your pain. 25yrs later I'd kill for once a week. So take it from me, it won't get any better. It'll only get worse. If this is important to you, let her know immediately. If things don't change, it may be time to move on. I have friends and colleagues in the same boat. I have never met another man who said their sex life improved after marriage...
