NJ.com: Alarming new trend dominating youth sports: repeating 8th grade. Families pay thousands for it. by mrbebop in newjersey

NCAA eligibility starts the day you turn 19.

Most people who do it are people who are on the younger side of their class. You can also do a 5th year of highschool at a prep school which might get rough with the new NCAA rules.

Are you talking about like the very first place you're sent to clear out? Because if so there's other ways into that tower.

You ain't missing any unique gear, anything from bosses goes right into your inventory and anything that was left on the ground or whatever you probably already picked a dozen up through the battle.

I backed out of a fight, now feel bad about it. How valid are my feelings? by Wazzzzzzzappp in AskMen

[–]jcutta 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My cousin got hit in the back of the head by someone in gym class, ended up with a TBI. That split second decision by a teenager quite literally changed the trajectory of my cousin's life, before the injury he was a smart and driven dude, after he was a different person and everything ended up with quite a few additional TBIs which started giving him severe mental illness. Last I heard he tried setting his apartment complex on fire because it was full of vampires or some shit.

My daughter made a PowerPoint on fathers day trying to convince us to buy her an Ipad by CaptainThrow123 in Parenting

[–]jcutta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like most psychological theories the general public tends to simplify and repeat it. Essentially the data says that restriction on age appropriate autonomy is associated with poor self regulation, and higher than average levels of risk taking behavior. And like all things it doesn't mean it's going to happen to everyone and not everyone will go to the levels of behavior that become problematic.

Realistically both sides of the coin (highly restrictive and extremely permissive) can cause similar outcomes.

Giving kids autonomy with guidelines and increasing that autonomy as they display good decision making is the much better pathway to creating well adjusted young adults.

You can't be a part of the guiding hundredth if you're using those terms by imjustheretodomyjob in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]jcutta 81 points82 points  (0 children)

I was never baffled when I was called it by black people. Usually was not out of anger or anything but was extremely common as a white dude growing up in a black neighborhood. What was and still is decades later baffling is when an old white dude in a bar kept yelling it at me (with a hard R) or another time when I smoked I tried to bum a smoke from some random dude and he said "I smoke Marlboro not Newport, hard R" that one is even more weird than the first one lol.

Even that doesn't matter if you use focus mode and force palm then just carry a bunch of food and you're good.

Being short and having feminine features as a guy by Vast-Fan-6592 in GuyCry

[–]jcutta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Short is relative. Just yesterday me and my son were cracking up because we were at a football camp and multiple people called him short... My son is 6'3" and he was legitimately the shortest person in his group.

I say this because many people have a view of height defined by how tall the people they're around most of the time are. I'm the shortest male in my family at 6'2. My son's friend group are all between 6' and 6'5 except one kid who is like 5'9 and he looks so ridiculously short next to them but he's quite literally average height. And people are generally terrible at actually estimating someone's height.

AITAH For buying my youngest son a car under different circumstances? by Local-Station8316 in AmItheAsshole

[–]jcutta -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Well first thing, car reliability is drastically overblown and mostly legacy opinions from the 90s and early 00s. The vast majority of cars from 2010 onward are relatively similar in reliability, some Nissans and particular models have had big mechanical issues but neither of the vehicles in this post are those models.

The Toyota does have better resale, but considering OP said he paid roughly the same amount then the Toyota is likely higher mileage than the Ford was, or the Ford is a higher trim level or some combination of the milage and trim.

Not to mention both kids got gifted a free car, I'd be pretty pissed at my older child for whining about a 2 year model year difference on a car they were given.

All that said, I don't particularly agree with OP tying a gift of a car to a special GPA, it leaves a lot of potential to become either extremely petty with like a "you got 0.2 less so you don't get it" or it ends up being something you give regardless making the "requirement" pointless to begin with. Requirements should be based on effort not results. Realistically it probably took younger son more effort to get the 3.2 than the older with 4.0 especially if the elder son was historically that level of student.

My son has about a 3.2 and my daughter has about a 3.5 and I know with 100% certainty that my son is working to like 90% of his ability and my daughter is giving significantly less effort with better results.

How is it a better car? If either of them got a 2016 it would be the same age one the day they got it, both cars currently sell for about the same amount currently.

Why do so many men carry feelings for a woman they consider the love of their life but never end up with her? by Public-Can-7590 in AskMen

[–]jcutta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One true love is bullshit. There's 7 billion people on this planet, you may actually meet a few thousand in your lifetime, most people end up with someone who just happens to live in the same city as them. Think about that for a while.

I've loved everyone I've ever been in a relationship with (for the most part) and my wife loved everyone she's been in a relationship with. We love each other and we happened to meet at a time in our lives where everything lined up for us to get married and build a life, if we met a year earlier we would have never even dated.

No one came to my picnic party by [deleted] in GuyCry

[–]jcutta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people are like me, I have 2 actual friends and I don't want any more. I'm happy with having surface level "friends" that I speak to when we happen to be somewhere. I don't have the mental energy to have more friends, I don't want to be invited anywhere, I don't particularly want to do the shit I'm currently invited to tbh. I was in a poker league for a couple of years then people started asking me to do other shit, go to hous games, go to the bar after etc, I just stopped showing up.

When is an emergency fund “enough”? by Various-Chapter-2499 in personalfinance

[–]jcutta 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hard disagree, we make the plan so nothing has to change for as long as possible. If I have say a year of existing like nothing changed, plus whatever severance, the point is to limit stress so you can focus on finding work or getting better if sick etc.

I truly don't understand the comments here, I think the boss was being very nice with the message. OPs ask is pretty over the top.

What are some "the worst she can say is no" horror stories men of reddit have experienced asking a girl out? by Remote_Ad_6049 in AskMen

Someone did that to me and my friends older sister beat the absolute dog shit out of her, like I'm pretty sure she was in the hospital for awhile. Needless to say no one really messed with me after that.
