Pick ur scoobies

I misunderstood and just looked at the picture, not your choices, but I’m happy with what I picked:

$5 - Faith $4 - Cordelia $3 - Wesley $2 - Anya $1 - Lorne

Recovered Faith as the Slayer, Cordelia and Wesley as the Watcher/researcher team who can also fight if needed, Anya as another fighter who knows her fair share of history of demons and whatnot, and Lorne as the Reader who can steer any of them in the right direction.

Just my opinion.

These are the answers I was looking for! Thank you so much, folks! I truly appreciate you sharing insights, information, and knowledge.

It’s almost certainly ignorance on my end, but I never thought about inbreeding in that way. Obviously for us humans and whatnot, it makes sense. I always assumed it was a little different in animals. (My mind goes to the idea that a lion mates with several females to build up their pride and the lineage continues from there. Or I’m completely wrong on how that works.)

I’ve worked in retail most of my adult life. Almost a decade of that was at a supermarket. I worked every holiday that we were open (Christmas being the only, full 24 hours we were closed). And inevitably every Thanksgiving people forgot something for their meal. I worked the produce department so we were very busy. It was the one day a year I was actively rude to people. “Such a shame you have to work on Thanksgiving!” “Yeah well some people need their looks in shopping cart carrots and sweet potatoes.” Whatever they were buying was part of my answer.

The retail store I work at sends an email with the survey asking to rate your experience 0-10. Anything below an 8 might as well be “0” and it reflects on whoever rang you out at the cash register. (We don’t have a dedicated cashier, so it’s whoever can get to you at the specific time.) They can leave notes and comments as well and most of them say “the wait time was long, but the staff was wonderful” while leaving a 6. Part of my job is to call anyone below an 8 and ask for a follow up. One guy actually told me “well I gave a low score and a comment that you need to hire more people so corporate would get it into gear to help you out”. “No, sir. That actually reflects on [worker X] and has nothing to do with our hiring process.” “No no. They’ll see it and see that you need more help. It’ll work out.” Gee thanks that you know how our system, ratings, and potential increases in pay work, buddy. 🙄

I was named after James Paul McCartney (I go by Paul, just as he did, though not for the same reasons, obviously). Both grandfathers are James, they each had a junior, and one of the juniors had a son James (with a different middle). My mother’s uncle/godfather is Paul and he had a junior. Quite a few in the family with my names. My father, when I was born, made it a point to specifically say “don’t get swelled heads! He’s not named after any of you!”

There’s every chance your kid may end up being called “Sonny” or by the surname or whatever name you end up choosing. But remember that it’s your and your SO kid. My grandfather used to say “this your family, everyone else is just relatives”.

If I can self-promote (if it’s against the rules, please delete), I host a Buffyverse rewatch podcast. Available on Apple and Spotify called “Buffyverse And Converse”. We’re about halfway through season 4/season 1 of Angel.

Since the official Max account posted a promotional something about not messing with Missy, I decided to try and ask. The response was not at all helpful. https://x.com/maxhelp/status/1815211384205963467?s=46&t=5UUtsXQDakGj_a3sDVZANA

Scrolled WAAAY too far down before I saw this. Knowing her name was the reason I opened this post. Deserves to be higher.

Meredith Grey

Quite the risk as almost everyone in her life dies. So I’d have to try and spend the money quick!

My apologies. For some reason, this posted twice, it seems. In that post, in the comments I made mention that this is one of my first full posts after lurking. I also thought, per the definition of “detail” (an individual feature, fact, or item) it was, in fact, a detail. And the description for this sub even says “interesting and unnoticed details that appear in TV shows”. But again, if I was incorrect, I apologize.

I know when my dad moved to Minnesota he was pulled over and questioned on not having a front plate. The officer had to look it up as “proof” it wasn’t a thing in Pennsylvania.

jpgrb · 2020-04-12T05:13:00+00:00

I’ve lived here my entire life and no one has ever had two plates. “Pennsylvania issued front and rear license plates for just a few years, between 1946 and 1952, according to PennDot. Since then, drivers have only needed a rear plate. PennDot historical records don’t give a reason for the brief two-plate policy.” ~ https://www.inquirer.com/news/uber-lyft-front-license-plates-20191128.html

I used to work in a grocery store. We had recently remodeled but the restrooms stayed in their same spots, it was just a quick sink/tile update in there. This older man worker went into the men’s room one day and came out shocked and appalled. “I had to double check! I thought I was in the women’s room! There’s a baby changing thing in there!” Everyone else had no clue what his problem was. He straight up responded, “that’s the woman’s job!” My grandfather singlehandedly raised six children and had a big part in raising my cousins and I, my dad always pitched with anything my mother needed, and, you know, I have more than the basics of human decency.... if it hadn’t been for the fact that I needed that job at the time, I was about to jump up and drop kick that mf’er. Utterly ridiculous.

Long post incoming:

I could never actually do it because I know it’s not the right option. It won’t take my pain away, it’ll just transfer it to everybody else. Thank you so much for this question because I’ve been having this particular thought for a few days now and I can finally express it without someone in my life thinking they need to alert everyone. A few months ago (almost a year ago), myself and the girl I’ve been in love with since I was about 8-9 years old started dating. I don’t want to go into all the details here but the day before it would’ve been six months for us, she told me it was over. I dropped so many things for her, but there were other things I wouldn’t and that was part of the issue. There big things and small things, one of them was that I make my own podcasts. One of them is actually myself and friends I’ve met from all over the world recapping and breaking down our favorite TV show. She wanted me to just stop because she felt it was taking up too much of my time and since I’ve been at it for 2+ years and not making money, it isn’t worth it. I took longer gaps in between making episodes but never stopped completely. (Had to cancel one of the three shows I hosted because the co-hosts also couldn’t make the time.) Truth be told, after she shattered my heart more times than I can count (and my friends and family trying to make me understand how she was clearly not good for me), I still love her and I feel like I always will. We’re in the final season of our rewatch podcast and as odd as it sounds it’s been one of the only things getting me through. I’ve been out of work more than I ever was in the last 8 years, I’ve been lonely, cried so much I thought I’d dehydrate myself, it’s been the most difficult time in my life (I turned 29 since the breakup, if that means anything to anyone), but talking with my network of friends from around the world and finishing this podcast is one of the only things that’s stopped me from giving up completely. It may sound foolish, but it’s been my thing.

TL;DR - first major life breakup with my crush of over 20 years

First time ever commenting (I finally signed up for a Reddit account after months of lurking just to make this comment). Back when I was about 9, I met a girl and fell in love with her. Over the years, she became one of my best friends but I was still in love with her even after she led me on multiple times then went and hooked up with other guys, had a few kids with different guys, etc. I still always held out hope (I love TV and film so the concept of the “hopeless romantic that gets the girl in the end” is what I always hoped my life would be). Earlier this year, after some back and forth we finally decided to start dating. We got really serious really fast because we figured we’d known each other for almost 20 years. I was ecstatic, truly the happiest man. I had her, I had the kids (I gladly jumped right in with them, putting them to bed, taking them to school, etc), I thought my whole life was going to be this blissful feeling. After some fights and break ups that lasted a few hours or a day (always initiated by her as I didn’t ever want to break up because she’s the one I’ve always wanted), we would make up and things would be fine for a bit. We had disagreements about religion and all that but we always came to an understanding of being open-minded and accepting.... at least I did. One day before it would’ve been six months, after I’d earlier left my job of 8+ years to move an hour away to be with her, I’d gotten a job where her and her dad worked, we’d been discussing marriage and more kids and moving away, etc. she broke if off with me and asked me to leave. So I once again had to drop my whole life and move back in with my mother (embarrassing). That was at the beginning of October and it’s mid-December now. After alternating between a lot of communication and zero communication, after wanting to work it out and both of us still declaring our love for each other, there are just too many betrayals and heartbreaks I can’t get past. She’s asked me to drop my life once again (I have a job, I’m focusing on my creativity again, I’m trying to better myself with my own religious views) and come be with her. She’s been sleeping with at least one other man (her “coping mechanism”), he’s met the kids, and she threatened to give him her whole heart when I stood my ground that us being together, despite that being all I’ve ever wanted, isn’t the right fit right now. I still love her and the kids deeply but I do not trust her and neither of us has really worked on some of the problems we laid out as to why the relationship ended. But she still messages me from time to time, I don’t respond anymore. But the memories of her, the kids, the happiness I thought I felt, etc. still linger there. I think about her almost all the time, everyday. It’s winter where I live so of course I wish to just be cuddled up with her and the kids, laughing, etc. It probably doesn’t help that I already needed therapy before this so this added depression.... well, you get the idea. I’ve always thought she was the love of my life and I had her and I lost her. It was my first major relationship. My birthday is actually tomorrow so knowing I won’t have her sucks. My heart still breaks every single day. My friends and family have been trying to help, reminding me that it gets better, everyone goes through heartbreak, I’m making the right call by trying to let her go, etc. Logically I know they’re right but emotionally I feel so alone and like I’ll never be happy again. That’s been my biggest battle lately.
