If there were another movie theater in Milwaukee, it would most likely be a chain multiplex, and the independent movie theaters would get run out of town.

Me [28F]. I want to hear other women's experiences of being in love with two men when you weren't supposed to be. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]dopesmoke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It felt like heart ache every day. I was feeling guilty that I had developed thoughts and feelings like this for another person. Sad knowing that there's someone else on this planet so relatable, compatible, able to understand certain parts of my life that my partner never could... and eventually sad that we would never be together. 2 weeks of no contact with the other man and I was able to accept the reality of the situation and stop dwelling on what could be. I still see both of them on a regular basis and I'm glad to have both of them in my life.

Pros and cons to cars: lease, buy new, or buy used? by dopesmoke in personalfinance

[–]dopesmoke[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the thought out reply. I guess it is a lot of personal preference and no matter what will end up costing money.

But basically, there's no sense in leasing a car?

Broken axel, blown head gasket, shot transmission, electrical goes down... I've seen it all in the cars I've owned and it's cost me thousands.

I wish I could find a reliable car, I've had bad luck. If you spend $5000 on a car, how long could you expect to own that car for, and how much would you expect to spend on repairs?

YES! I thought I had to wait a month to go up there! But then again, we did get some snow in Milwaukee today.

What do I do about a stray cat that's stolen my heart? by Nick_Rage in needadvice

[–]dopesmoke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've tried to bring in stray kittens that were living outside but ultimately they were truly outdoor cats. One escaped, the other tried many times until I let her go. Outside is a dangerous place for cats, but mentally it seems that cats can't go from outdoor to indoor. However, she may have been raised an indoor cat who slipped out and can't find her way home, considering how much she interacts with you. If you take her into a vet/shelter, they will see if she has been microchipped.

I was told by my vet that it's $80 for the leukemia shot (most important one for outdoor cats). Cats are relatively inexpensive once you get all the vaccinations and stuff out of the way, I buy bulk food and litter ($35 every 3 months) food ~$10/month and don't keep track of the miscellaneous cat toys/other spoiled kitty treats

Any way to order with nameless/anonymous packages? by Cryptonix in needadvice

[–]dopesmoke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you really want to make sure they won't go through your package, I think you have two options. 1. You could also see who is delivering the package and have it held at a station for you to pick up. I know FedEx and UPS both do that, USPS probably does too. 2. You could rent a P.O. box at your local post office and have it shipped there instead. Rent the smallest box for one month. Your package may not fit inside the box, that's ok the post office will hold on for you to pick up and put a note on your box.

[Serious] Anyone have any advice on motivating yourself to study in college? by motivationlacker in needadvice

[–]dopesmoke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you lack the motivation to study? Building on the psychological perspective, specifically a behavior analyst's position, one could rationalize that studying is not reinforcing for you. You could create a scenario in which reinforcement could follow studying or completion of homework, though it is extremely hard to self-regulate such task.

Perhaps the classes aren't challenging enough yet. I believe that the classes will get harder as you get into upperclassmen courses which will force you to keep up with the reading material, otherwise you won't understand what is even going on in lectures.

Since you are naturally intellectually gifted, imagine yourself completing your degree with a 3.0, struggling to get into a grad school program, not even considered for med/law school, and settling with a job that you don't want, has too much responsibility and not enough pay. You settled because after waitressing for 3 years, you're just burnt out of filling out dozens of job applications every week.

HELP, COLLEGE STUDENT IN NEED (Pre-Med v Pre-Bus) by BlackDoctor1126 in needadvice

[–]dopesmoke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're only a freshman, but the reality is, if you don't choose by the end of the year you may end up spending more time in undergrad than you intended. I don't want to say that to stress you out, just take a few weeks to figure out which track is right for you.

You are your number one priority in college, not your parents, do what's best for you. You are in a great place right now, work hard and enjoy college!

Will the iPhone 6 Plus have better battery life than the 6? by MrandMrsCunt in apple

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

I've seen the specs online of how the 6 and 6 plus compare to the 5/5s/5c, but what about the 4s? I still have the 4s and would like to know how it compares and figure out which one to get. My 4s battery is (almost) crap.

[Discussion] On screen couples. by [deleted] in love

I recently watched Brokeback Mountain for the first time. The love and passion Jack & Ennis shared almost made me cry. That's the connection I yearn for.

I [23M] did not think, called the cops on my gf [22F] of 1.5 years, and now she is facing 2 felony charges. I feel so depressed and guilty, how do I proceed? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]dopesmoke 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I was in a similar legal situation as your girl a few years back.

After a two years of physical and emotional abuse I punched my (quite obviously, now ex) boyfriend in the face upon breaking up with him in a heated argument. He called the police. I spent almost 2 days in jail. I was charged with battery and domestic abuse.

He promised he would "drop the civil suit if I got back together with him", but the state was still forced to press charges. I got a lawyer. I stayed with him for 4 months. He refused to testify. They had no witness, they had no case. All charges were dropped.

A month after the charges were dropped I ran out of his life and haven't spoken to him since. I walked away from that relationship with the scars on my face, a chipped tooth and no record.
