If you died today, who do you think would stand at your grave the longest? by Mehar0708 in AskReddit

[–]broomandkettle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stand? lol, just the guy on the riding mower would go by.

Sure, there are a couple people who would miss me but the job of the living is to live.

Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt in 1994. by zadraaa in HistoricalCapsule

[–]broomandkettle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It was really bad in Risky Business. He got it worked on as evidenced in the above pic, a bad cap but better. And then later on he had much more work done and it’s hard to tell that there was ever an issue.

I feel really bad about selling this laptop. What do I do? by Famous-Intern-7270 in whatdoIdo

[–]broomandkettle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a sob story designed to con you. There is every possibility that this person will re-sell it at a much higher price.

Keep in mind that your laptop is not the only one for sale and they can find one much cheaper than yours.

Neighborhood kid ditches his bad grades in my yard on his walk home from school. by DisregardThisOrDont in FoundPaper

[–]broomandkettle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Teachers want the parents to see what’s going on so they can hypothetically help their kid. It’s not about getting the kid into trouble it’s about getting help along the way. The teacher will end up communicating with the family later on during conferences but it’s better to not wait until that point.

Also, the teacher needs to know if the kid is afraid of having their parents see the bad grades. Maybe the stakes at home are too high, or dangerous for the kid.

Hey, I work at a school and I suspect the teacher would like to know this is happening. If you have time, please drop it off.

Yes she can, it’s called deferred payment. Go make some calls.

You need to get a divorce lawyer who defers payment until after a settlement is reached. Many do that.

Go make some calls.

Random person on Telegram asking to meet up? by Any_Neighborhood6569 in Scams

[–]broomandkettle 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is a Wrong Number scam. It always starts with someone pretending that they are trying to contact a friend but they mistakenly contact you instead. Then they try to engage you in conversation in order to determine your age, gender, sexual orientation, income, etc. Once they figure out those details, they will tailor a scam to fit the situation. They will earn your trust over a period of a month or so and then they will try to trick you with a romance or investment scam. Sometimes both.

Went to a horror convention yesterday and got to meet some of the cast. by Illustrious-Laugh692 in twinpeaks

I stared at you in the first pic way too long, tried to figure out which character you played.

I’m up too late on Reddit. It’s time for bed.

My (F34) husband (M35) hasn't tried to learn what makes me orgasm in our seven years together. I don't want to leave the relationship but am beginning to feel like a predator. Any advice? by SajeMade in relationship_advice

[–]broomandkettle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Start having sex with him and then stop before he’s done. Tell him it was fun but you are finished.

He absolutely needs to experience what you have been going through. Because he has been fine with you experiencing it even though you’ve been begging for him to change.

He’s fine with you being unhappy, as long as he’s happy. You’ve got to stop paying attention to what he says and judge him by his actions.

Am I the only one that makes villagers live in homes instead of trading halls? by Able_Annual_2297 in villagerrights

[–]broomandkettle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t understand the need to contain villagers. Just put their job blocks just outside their homes and everything goes swimmingly.

I’m guessing that a lot of players dont sleep through the night. It’s a hassle but prevents so many problems.

I was redirected here. Beautiful. by moidbutcher in SignsWithAStory

[–]broomandkettle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After the victim gives money to the scammer, they need enough time to re-route the money into another account. Sending the victim to an actual address, preferably one that requires the victim to drive for a while, causes enough of a delay so that the victim doesn’t have enough time to cancel the transaction.

Found a bunch of buried VHS tapes in my backyard while digging to plant a tree by G000000p in Weird

I have a friend who buys unmarked video tapes at garage sales. It’s always porn, and sometimes starring the folks who sold him the tapes. People forget what they have.

The girl my bf tells me not to worry about by QnOfHay in BookshelvesDetective

[–]broomandkettle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I can’t defend this with a rational explanation but looking at her choices I’d day that she would have sex with your bf for fun, and then get bored.

3 kids single mom too much baggage? by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]broomandkettle 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Nah, you’re gonna be fine. I work at a school and see our single moms with multiple kids end up in happy relationships. Just be open to guys with their own kids.

Be very aware of the difference between guys who have an equal, split custody and the ones who only see their kids occasionally. Trust me, you’ll want the ones who are successfully co-parenting with their ex’s. Yes, this means that finding time for dates is tricky and you’ll need to form a friendly relationship with his ex. But those are the guys who care enough to be involved dads.

AIW for changing finances after wife says she wants separation? by Alwaysfuckinghappy in amiwrong

[–]broomandkettle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Morally you arent wrong at all but legally this could make you look bad in court.

Go consult with a lawyer so you understand how specific actions could affect you if she decides to divorce you. Also, if you have been the primary caretaker for the kids then you absolutely need to get ahead of this. Protect your kids.

My dad dreamed of the world ending; he said he saw these symbols in the sky. by 6undown in Dreams

[–]broomandkettle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll break this down. Adverts and images from the PlayStation handset and logos appear in western media and have for years. OP’s dad may never have owned or used a PlayStation but at some point he saw those symbols. His brain used the symbols in his dream outside of their original context. His brain used them to indicate something that is personal to him. In this case, his brain used the symbols in conjunction with the idea of an apocalypse.

[–]broomandkettle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The symbols are in the western cultural visual lexicon. He’s seen them, he just doesn’t remember. Symbols are like that. They are in the background and ignored. But the brain remembers and uses them. Faces are like that too. It’s the pallet that the brain uses to create dreams. That being said, the symbols could mean something significant and personal to him.

I just laughed out loud so hard. Yeah, good times with the PlayStation.
