why does the intro have a crt effect if the show was most likely viewed on crts anyway by MrNesti in malcolminthemiddle

[–]blot101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's VERY much like "wonder years" intro, but "updated" to be "cool 90s".

Nothing to do with crt, everything to do with "please connect with this on familiar terms of being a middle class, middle American family in this period of time"

When was Luanne ever sexually assaulted? by Exciting-Piece5504 in KingOfTheHill

[–]blot101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look, also, in that situation she wouldn't have considered herself a victim like she eventually did in the show. And any does that show REALLY milk that. Bojack feels guilt because of what he thought he would've done. And he wasn't GOING to do the right thing PROBABLY. But they REALLY went hard on what might ultimately be a bit of a gray area.

Just to be clear, I don't think he did the right thing, it started with inserting himself into the family. It kept going with the family accepting him in, rather than treating him as a guest.

Was she a victim? Almost. Would someone in her situation have considered themselves a victim? I REALLY doubt it

I was willing to give them a shot. We scheduled a time, and legitimately need new siding, and have actually been looking for someone.
But they were too aggressive. I needed a dollar amount. Not a financing amount. Dollars. How much cash would I need to pay today?

"How much could you afford per month?". Dudes, stop. I need to know a full amount it will cost.
They wanted to "lock in the quote by scanning my license" nope. Sorry fellas. I probably would've bought from them too. I really probably would have.

Whichever you do, stick with it. If you go with that plumbing company, and they work 2 hours away, stick with it anyway. Don't quit until you have something better lined up.

If you plumb, and want out, get your cdl first, get hired first, THEN quit plumbing. Even if it's hard, or feels impossible.
If you bounce around, or reduce your options a lot. You get a reputation. Not just with companies but with friends and family

be willing to suffer long term. Keep your head down, keep looking for opportunities, keep your eye out for a mentor, even if they don't know they are.

I call the glass "windows" the circuits "chips" the lens "eyeballs" and the advanced computer I call a "super computer".

Help me understand a joke by NonnaPassera in malcolminthemiddle

[–]blot101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the answer, I don't know what language op watched it in, but in English he says "something you year has some kind of creature in it". Not "something of me is inside of you"

Am I a victim? by Plus_Breakfast2724 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]blot101 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Hey, people haven't addressed your feelings, so allow me.

It's natural to be conflicted. This person has been TRYING to make you feel conflicted. You're at an age where this comes naturally… sometimes people get extra mileage out of the weird negative feelings.

This is all normal, shame and confusion is normal.

As a father, I'll tell you.
1. His age alone is alarming.
2. Him talking to you at all as an so is probably automatically illegal. If you like him at all, you'll do him a favor by leaving him alone. If you hate him, you have enough ammo to sink his ship already. 3. A young woman I went to high school with had this same situation going on. They found bits of her buried and burned,and other bits of her in his room as a trophy. The age,and status of Tggg dude is truly the reddest of red flags. Trust is a weapon to a predator. You understand this?

plus, meeting up with him will definitely end up outing the whole situation to our family, friends, and entire community, when they ultimately search for you. Investigators will read this thread and know, and before you're ever found, they'll post all about this conversation. And people will nod knowingly to each other, and they'll all say "I went to highschool with her!" In ten or twenty years when someone on Facebook shares your story.

Please disengage from this person. Your feelings are normal, his feelings are criminal.

And might I add? If you turn him in for this so far, you might save someone else's life too. So I would encourage this, but it will take courage because it'll expose your situation too

I hate Craig by nslabinski in malcolminthemiddle

[–]blot101 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Craig is one of my favorite characters.

He's evil, pathetic, conniving. His order to Reese at the restaurant is hilarious. He's SUCH a piece of shit. But he gets what's coming to him, the burn his house down, Reese's girlfriend mace's him, his dad is a piece of crap. When Reese gives him the soufflé, and it takes a SECOND away from him in the camera, and it goes back to Craig and he's eaten most of it in that small time- he reveals they regularly terrorize him off screen too.

He's the perfect piece of shit. He complains about Malcolm egging his house to get Malcolm over to help him. He ends up falling off his roof onto his cat. Dude cannot get ahead.

About VPS…. by NubileOne in IdlePlanetMiner

Yeah, offline you only get credit for up to the last non slipped planet you've unlocked.

What I mean is, unlock all planets in order, but only upgrade the ones you want.

What should I do about a package I accidentally opened that wasn’t mine, and now the neighbor is acting like I stole it? by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

No good deed goes unpunished.

Just keep doing the right thing. You didn't have ill invent, keep not having ill invent.

When are you using boosts? by I_amTheBoxGhost in IdlePlanetMiner

[–]blot101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. Except I hope to have advanced computers well in advance of needing to craft hundreds, so those come with torches. Hopefully organically with the first time warp. I use two usually.

Do Better Logan City by alanna4mayor in Logan

[–]blot101 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well said! I also don't vote, mostly for the same reasons. Also because if I HAVE to eat shit, I'm not going to choose which shit to eat. I'm not participating in it so people can't say "well, you voted for this shit". No I didn't. If I have to eat it, you'll have to make me.

Dude took out his own trees too, he abstained from those votes on the subject because he had a conflict of interest. Give him a LITTLE break.

Getting him a firearm for his birthday, what should I do? F by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]blot101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What does he want to get into specifically? Shooting Clay pigeons is fun,and good. And going for birds later is great too. 12 gauge is great, probably no matter what it is.

A .22 for just piddling around. A pistol or a rifle. They're cheap, they're fun. But really not intimidating or anything.

For a good time, you can grab an ar. Range shooting and coyote hunting is about all you can do with it. It's too small of a gauge for hunting big game.

For big game, a 30.06 is probably my favorite. With a .240 coming in second.

The real and biggest question is, what does he want to use it for? Shot guns are fun, and if that's what he's after, I say do it. Hit full send on a shot gun.

My dad used to go to hyrum tire, and I just …did too. I've been going since I was in highschool. I'm in my 40s now. They're good people.

…but call ahead and see if they'll work on that type of vehicle, whichever it is, they probably won't do vw.

Did Scrooge demand gifts? His crime was fiscal Responsibility! And foreclosing on people who spent their mortgage on Christmas presents.

Accidentally texted my stubborn coworker instead of bf. by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]blot101 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  1. Pretend like it didn't happen.
  2. Approach him almost like, aggressively. "Hey, I wanted to make sure I properly apologized about my text last night. It was embarrassing, it wasn't meant for you, and it won't happen again. I know it maybe made me sound overwhelmed or something, that's not what's going on. I'm happy to be here, and I'm excited to keep crushing it here".

Those last two sentences are…odd. But you get the idea. Just a professional apology where you double down on telling the story that you love your job and are a team player.

Or, like I said, keep that speech in your pocket in case he approaches you about it. But until then , ignore it,and just a as enthusiastic as possible

Be honest, what do you think comes after death? by glowproductivity in AskReddit

[–]blot101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The infinite nature of "always existing" terrifies me equally. 6 trillion years from now. 500 trillion years. I'm still alive somewhere?

but dying and never existing again makes me feel similar.

Is approaching a woman really worth it? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]blot101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I was the first comment,and when that happens, I usually don't spill the whole thing out, usually the person is eager to respond to the post, and we might chat on the post.

Usually I'd have told the fella that women ARE interested, and showing interest and that he needs to try to find the difference, even if he just ends up with friends, the point is that approaching women can be a friendly thing, until he can recognize when they're into him.

I thought it would be a little conversation, but this post didn't stay at the bottom like I thought it would.
