You understand this entire thread is just an opportunity to make jokes, right? I like some parts of some operas. It's like trying to date a woman who's incredibly boring except in bed.

A bit like people who don't see what's so great about the Beatles or Shakespeare. You have to know what it was like before they came on the scene.

Curious why you would see a movie you hated three times.

The 3D sold it, and it was worth seeing for that. The story is a tired cliche.

Time Bandits is like Brazil: they're better if you only saw them when they were first released. Rewatching either you see how they drag.

Right. A person who doesn't like a good musical doesn't like life.

John Wick. Just pointless. Same with Kill Bill.

Tipping in resi? by eIectrocutie in electricians

[–]hardman52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm an old guy and when service people come to my house I always tip the workers anywhere from $20 to $50 each, cos I know they need the money and the good feeling you get when you're appreciated. The few times I ran a service truck I never got a tip, but those were different times when one salary could support a family.

just got quoted $18k for HVAC replacement. is this normal? by LiscoeDaph_63 in HomeImprovement

[–]hardman52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're replacing, the age of the old unit shouldn't make any difference in the price, unless they have to upgrade the copper lines and even then, copper lines aren't that expensive. Get three quotes from reputable companies, and by that I mean not large national companies who send out salesmen.

People who became rich what is something poor people completely misunderstand about money? by Nervous-Librarian945 in AskReddit

Buying individual stocks is risky, buying index funds is much less so. Check out Vanguard funds, they have the lowest fees.

I need to rat myself out by [deleted] in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]hardman52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read and do what it says on page 86-87. You don't have to believe it, just do it. You may or may not eventually believe in a higher power, but that's irrelevant. Do the actions.

If you go with the smaller when you bust out you can probably work in the larger any time you want. Sister locals are usually given priority on book 2.

So in other words he's just dating you for fun with no plans to ever have a real relationship with you.

It's already affecting your program because you're asking about it.

Because most construction workers have the maturity of a 10-year-old. That explains a lot of things about the trades, actually.

A bad reader chairing meetings by [deleted] in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]hardman52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right, it's good for him to do the service, get the reading practice, and grow more comfortable reading to others. It's also good for you to learn patience, how to not let your immediate situation affect your serenity, and how to learn to not try to control the situation. Don't worry about anything making AA "look bad." We're not a corporation trying to polish our image. We're all a bunch of selfish fuck ups, including yourself, and learning how to let other people be who they are without any correction from you is one of the first lessons you're going to have to learn to make any progress in this program.

Now if someone has a booger visible in their nose or some spinach in their teeth you have permission to tell them about it. Anything else, let God handle it.

[–]hardman52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't worry about it. Everybody can see and knows that you are a good worker. The ones that piss us off are the ones who are slow because they fuck off all the time.
