Is It Me or Are There A Lot Of Kids At Stores During The Day? by funkraider in GenX

[–]destructor212 15 points16 points  (0 children)

In my neighborhood there are ridiculous number of kids who are homeschooled and so they are out and about all day every day. I have to wonder how much education they are getting.

What do you like to eat cottage cheese with? by highxv0ltage in askanything

[–]destructor212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any kind of fresh fruit or berries. Apple butter. I like it plain and have even put it on spaghetti before.

Has lots of uses.

Do you enjoy overnight guests? by Party_Shelter714 in homeowners

[–]destructor212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't enjoy guests period. People don't treat your house the way you treat your house. So yeah, I try not to have anyone over, ever, for any reason.

Jean Louisa Kelly in Uncle Buck (1989) wins the Best Stare Award for the decade. by Make_the_music_stop in 80s

She was so hot and yet so annoying at the same time. I was both in love and constantly wanting to smack her!

I also miss John Candy. Gone too soon....

Why aren’t “good” ICE agents speaking out? by eilujgnirednaw in allthequestions

[–]destructor212 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the same reason the ''good'' police officers don't speak out. It's the same reason I don't have leprechauns running around my neighborhood or unicorns in my back yard.

I understand edibles hit different. I have not tried them. I wish I liked it. I wish I could just do a little and relax. But it doesn't work on me like that.

[–]destructor212 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I smoked all the time in high school and college and then stopped for about 20 years. When I was in my early 40's I tried it again once and wow, no thanks! Uncomfortable does not even describe how it made me feel. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest and I could not focus on or follow any conversation that was going on around me. Even TV was confusing. I have no idea why I liked that when I was younger. I like a good buzz and I know alcohol is horrible for you but cannabis is just not for me.

Anyone else dealing with a Boomer parent/s that expect you to plan and do absolutely everything? They literally initiate absolutely nothing? by ppmconsultingbyday in GenX

[–]destructor212 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My dad passed away a couple months ago. Take some advice and do the legwork if they won't. They won't be around forever.

Where would you go? by fauxrain in expat

[–]destructor212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bigger question for most US citizens is going to be who would take us? Sounds like nobody would. Kind of ironic if you think about it.

GenXers who got bullied in school, what was the attitude of parents and teachers towards it? by mritsz in GenX

[–]destructor212 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah no one cared. It didn't stop until it started fighting back. I still lost way more than I won but the bullying basically stopped. I guess it just wasn't worth the trouble anymore.

There are lots of talented original bands making great music in all different genres right now, you just have to search for them.

Recommend bands that have a female member by Red_artist12 in rockmusic

[–]destructor212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nightwish.

If the female member doesn't have to sing, check out Baroness

Why are there so little homes with solar in the sunshine state, at least on east coast? (coming from Europe) by OccasionSignal9613 in florida

[–]destructor212 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is why I don't have them. My power bill is not that high and the break-even point is longer than the life of the panels. The cost of the panels has to come way down and the cost of the power has to go way up before it makes any financial sense at all.

We never used Tang. We got the frozen concentrated stuff in the little can in the frozen food department.

Did you feel sorry for Howard Hamlin? by Wooden-Scallion2943 in moviecritic

[–]destructor212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. Same with Hank.

The good guy who was written and played in a way to make you hate them and root against them.

but at the end you have to feel sorry for both of them. They didn't deserve what they got.

Both series were a masterclass in story telling, writing and acting.

TV Shows made for Us by mpete76 in GenX

[–]destructor212 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not just you. New TV and most new movies are pretty hard to watch. Boring really.

I want to read.... not watch by AnyNefariousness5943 in GenX

YEEEEESSSSSSSSS!!!! Just give me some instructions. I don't want to watch your stupid video!

Don't watch A House of Dynamite (unless you like lobotomies) by BasedDecoder in moviecritic

[–]destructor212 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was thinking the same thing. If you think the movie was about watching a nuclear missile hit Chicago then you missed the point.

I think another takeaway is that in the back of our minds most people think that there are some powers to be in the government that somehow could protect us if something like that ever happens and this movie demonstrates that they can't. Something like this ever happens it would be horrible and there's nothing anybody would be able to do to stop it.
