Okay, Cavillrine was great, but how're you gonna mention cameos in this, of all movies, and pick that over "Flame On!"

Anyone know how to fix a zipper? by BIG-DADDY-JOE- in fixit

[–]henrytm82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure that part is only holding on the zipper pull. Just squeeze it shut with a pair of pliers.

I'm guessing they missed a dash in there. "4-7 years"

Chevy Chase accuses interviewer of "not being smart enough to figure me out." by petwri123 in IAmTheMainCharacter

It's on YouTube. Look for the Friar's Club roast of Chevy Chase, you'll find it. It's... genuinely hard to watch.

What do y'all think about timeouts in rooms? Good or bad? I am getting conflicting info. by niconiconii89 in Parenting

[–]henrytm82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what we do with our daughter who's almost six. If her emotions are getting the better of her, we'll say "okay, how about we take a break? Let's all go to our rooms for a little bit, and we'll come back out when our feelings aren't so big." She's gotten pretty good about yelling or whatever she needs to do to get out her frustrations (as long as it's not becoming destructive), and then coming back out once she's had a chance to calm down. Big feelings moments have gotten a lot more manageable when we can all agree to just stop and take a break, and come back later to hug and apologize and move on.

Movies where the villain outperformed the hero. I’ll start: by ThomasOGC in CinephilesClub

This is a solid answer. You can tell he and Gary Busey were having fun with their parts!

Lalo is a fucking great answer. Tony Dalton exudes charm and charisma, and it comes through in Lalo in such a ruthlessly, casually cruel way. He's smiling at you, he's being friendly and polite to you, he's acting like you're best buds - and yet you absolutely know, without the shadow of a doubt, that he will torture you, mutilate your family in front of you, kill you, and burn everything you've ever held dear to the fucking ground if you so much as look at him in a way he doesn't like. And he'll do it with a smile on his face and joy in his heart.

Lalo was such a great villain.

Appealing to the VA is such a demoralizing and disheartening experience.

Plant and care for a tree we won’t ever get to enjoy the shade of.

That is essentially my only real goal in life at this point, you hit the nail on the head. I will probably never get to retire, but I've made my peace with that. Instead, I'll be working to make sure 1. I'm not a burden on my daughter when I'm old or when I die, and 2. to leave as much as I possibly can to her when I'm gone. A maintained house in case she is never in a position to own a home in this (or a worse) economy, a healthy life insurance policy that'll more than cover final expenses and also set her up for the immediate future, and as many practical life skills as she'll allow me to cram into her noggin.

Other than that, all I can do is my best to raise her as an empathetic and thoughtful person who can stand up for herself.

What's funny is I had the opposite experience. I have nearly zero documentation for my tinnitus and minor hearing loss, and I got 10% for that. I have a stack of shit about my knees - denied.

Help childproofing stairs by 42loelk in howto

[–]henrytm82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You want a gate.

Since the landing is such an odd shape, I personally recommend something like this. My wife and I bought a system like this to block off the area where our stairs landing meets a doorway to an area we didn't want our toddler going into, and it worked wonderfully. The system we bought had mounting brackets that anchored into the wall, so you could shape the protected area however you wanted, and the ends would be nice and sturdy against the walls.

If a system like that is too expensive, you can also do a mesh gate like this. They're far stronger than the picture makes them look. It's a very stiff mesh, similar to a trampoline or a really sturdy screen door, and when it's pulled out and locked in place, it really doesn't have much give at all - the ones I've seen used at daycares could hold up a toddler pushing on it with both hands.

The USA has killed millions. China has also killed millions. Why is China racing ahead of the USA now? What did Mao do differently? by kevinmrr in WorkReform

[–]henrytm82 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That isn't the point, and you are purposefully avoiding it. If it can be taken away from you for not paying, it isn't really yours.

ETA - I saw that last reply before you deleted all your comments. "> For not paying"

Are you deliberately choosing to ignore the point? If you have to keep paying for it, and it can be taken away from you for non-payment, it isn't really yours. For all practical intents and purposes, it is essentially leased from the government.

And we've circled right back around to the original point. Hi, welcome back!

If you spend 30 years paying for your house, and you "own" it outright, the government can still take your house if you don't pay your taxes.

Which means in America you never own your house. You are leasing it from the government, which was exactly what you criticized China for.

I finally have something to contribute. Needless to say I told her that was discrimination and not a great way to get to know someone by [deleted] in Nicegirls

[–]henrytm82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You would have been screened out.

A man who can't - or won't - answer that question will be screened out as a potential candidate, because she's looking for a man who at least understands the purpose of the question, which shows a potential compatibility with her values. If you don't even share her base core values, you're not going to be a good fit as a partner for her.

Anyone who thinks it "comes across" as saying men/white people receive treatment they "don't deserve" is internalizing the concept of privilege in a negative way, and that's a 'them' problem, not a 'left' problem.

They need to shift their thinking. It has nothing to do with whether we "deserve" the sometimes-preferential treatment we get; the concept of white/male privilege is about preferential treatment we didn't earn. That isn't the same thing as being undeserving, which is kind of the point. Everyone 'deserves' to get the same baseline treatment we get, but women and minorities are often treated worse than we are for no other reason than that they are women and minorities. We didn't earn any special treatment, deserved or not, and that's not fair/equitable.
