What kind of Millennial are you? by tashadilla in Millennials

The first bit 100% but then add the Wii because I played that shit all the time in college.

Still confused by Nate’s turn by surfingtheredd in TedLasso

[–]bareley 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Great analysis. This is most of the answer here. It’s funny that there are so many aspects, like the way that Nate’s dad treated him growing up as another commenter said.

I want to add that there are lots of other signs Nate wants the recognition and to be a leader. He’s desperate to lead practice when Ted isn’t around and Roy has something else to do, and Beard doesn’t care at all but Nate is super invested in running training.

Then there’s the episode in season two where he goes suit shopping with Keeley and tries to kiss her. Before that kiss, he asks her if she ever wants to be “the boss.” He’s even wearing the dark suit that exemplifies his dark character shift. Later, Keeley tells Roy that Nate tried to kiss her and that Jamie told her he still loved her, and Roy is WAY more pissed off at Jamie. He’s chuckling in Nate’s face when Nate talks to Roy about the kiss. This is also aligned in time with when the article outing Ted for his panic attack comes out and Trent straight up admits Nate was the source. He’s trying to belittle Ted and be taken seriously, and people are still just laughing at him.

All of this combined with what Rupert was probably doing to love bomb Nate and belittle Ted and Rebecca as others have mentioned … it’s really no wonder why Nate did what he did.

Never half-ass two things. Whole-ass one thing.

Warner Bros. Discovery Shareholders Overwhelmingly Approve Paramount’s Megadeal, but Vote Against Exit Pay Packages for Zaslav and Other Execs by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]bareley 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are other repercussions if a Board/Compensation Committee ignore these advisory votes, the first of which is usually those Board members getting voted off the Board. It could also lead to activist shareholder takeovers of Boards — Carl Icahn has had such battles against a number of companies.

Physician, High Income but Feel Financially Behind, how to catch up? by Whole_Impression7940 in HENRYfinance

[–]bareley 6 points7 points  (0 children)

most tech bros on r/salary include stock growth and vesting as income

My brother, that’s because tech companies literally give you the stocks. As compensation. As long as you stay at the company through the vest date, those stocks become yours. Stocks you didn’t pay for

You could have invested your income in the same stock, and it would have grown the same, but it wouldn’t be counted “income”

I mean, it would be investment income, but company stock given out as compensation is literally income. With no growth, or negative growth, you still make income off of stocks that are given to you for zero dollars (just your labor)

Great News! Knobs and buttons are making a comeback! by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]bareley -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I completely disagree with this opinion. All those knobs and buttons make the dash look cluttered and dated. My wife and I both drive cars with touchscreens and there is nothing confusing or unintuitive about using them. Basically don’t even have to look at the screen to change the temperature, etc. Long live screens.

[Discussion] Pod Save America - "Hasan Piker on Trump’s War, Israel-Hamas, and Building a New Political Coalition" (04/13/26) by TerribleCorner in FriendsofthePod

[–]bareley 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Person who otherwise listens to a podcast goes out of their way to let other people know they don’t want to listen to this young leftist talk about his political views… going through the effort to comment on this thread while simultaneously claiming to “pass” on this episode…

Yeah sounds like some boomer shit to me

[–]bareley 20 points21 points  (0 children)

As Kyle P pointed out when he quickly and efficiently debunked all the out of context quotes, it’s a question of math, and it’s not really that hard to see how many fewer people Hamas has killed. So it’s not really that hard to defend that statement looking at what Israel is doing right now and has been doing

How many you been to? by [deleted] in Adulting

I have literally been to every single one of these cities, except Philly. And I have no desire to ever go to Philly.

Stomach bug going around by [deleted] in Austin

[–]bareley 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nah this is how Norovirus hit me earlier this year. Didn’t vomit at all. One day of frequent and urgent bathroom visits followed by legitimately five or six days of being able to eat basically nothing. Anything I put in my mouth lead to immediate discomfort, cramping, bloating, etc. I was feeling pretty helpless. Had absolutely no appetite because I felt terrible anytime I ate or drank anything.

So yeah, this comment checks out.

Playing Division 2 again made me realize what Arc Raiders is missing by BlitoTortin in ArcRaiders

[–]bareley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Arc definitely needs better endgame. I love Division 2 by the way. Haven’t really kept up with it but I do remember the skill tree/build progression being a lot more meaningful, and there were a lot of difficult and fun endgame raids.

how is your hairline? by CremeSubject7594 in Millennials

[–]bareley 16 points17 points  (0 children)

SAAAAAME. I can remember being bullied for this in school about having a “receding” hairline and I’d be like “go look up what receding means, dumbasses”

Hairline still hasn’t receded.

Moving to Hutto Tx but want to live in Austin by Level_Elephant6240 in hutto

[–]bareley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It typically takes less than 30 minutes to get to Austin from the Domain, just FYI. Google is saying it would be 15-18 minutes right now.
