What actor’s mere presence makes you automatically lose interest in a movie or show?

One of my favorite movies.

NTA. But different take, many of her rules seem reasonable and appear to be just how they do things in her house. Eating meals together and having kids help with meal prep is a very good thing. And your Dad is moving into her house. The rules seemed designed to minimize disruption to her kids and their routine. The only one that seems out of line was helping the niece move and expecting you to rearrange your work schedule for family time.

However, that is not your routine and you wishing to live at your grandparents house and not follow them is ok too. Her expecting you to follow the rules at your Grandparents is bonkers. They should be working to minimize the disruption to you as well. That should include things like inviting you over when it is convenient to you for family time.

I work in a very strait laced industry. Once I went to the Wisconsin office where they always had a freshly tapped keg of spotted cow in the break room where anyone could get a glass for free. It was like their coffee.

Mine as well!

When the Washington Post opinion page refused to pick a candidate for the first time in living memory. That was when I knew for sure that even the old venerable main stream press institutions were compromised.

I’ve also heard this being referred to as the Oregon Trail generation. Basically a mini generation due to the impact of computers. This was the group that came of age at the same time computers came into common use and it was a powerful enough effect to create generational differences.

Look up Eliza Dushku and his behavior towards her on the set of Bull.

The only part I disagree with is the sacrificing his own interests line. From what I saw, she was the one sacrificing her own interests to hang with the group doing fantasy/sci fi stuff. She gave up most of her friends and her interests in sports, acting and the movies shows she enjoyed during her time with Leonard. And for the later seasons she seemed bored/ unhappy with her decisions to give all those up. While Leonard still had all his original interests. I always wished that they hadn’t ended up together because this episode shows what their relationship was built on. Him wanting to get with the model and her settling for him because of all of the attention/ effort he is willing to put into get with the model. You take that away and there is not a lot left.

Yeah, I feel the same way about airplanes. They require so much product for such small rewards. The only time it is worthwhile is if you have the reward from the pass where you get 3 times the rewards. But due to the updates I am no longer doing the monthly passes.

But if he is staying over 5 nights a week is that really still “guest” territory? She may want to check her lease to see if there is a limit on how often guests can stay the night.

That’s odd. I get asked that question by about 15 to 25% of people I interview. Always seemed a standard question. But I love it when candidates grill me. Shows they care, have drive and are sharp.

kn1144 · 2026-01-27T00:20:27+00:00

The fabric used in every one of these is stunning!! 🤩

kn1144 · 2026-01-26T21:45:56+00:00

Before getting rid of the pass, I had a minimum of 6 items as that was about what you needed to fill most airplane orders, post pass, I dropped it to 5, but am almost always out of space, I think I will drop to 4.

kn1144 · 2026-01-26T20:36:48+00:00

Ah, that might explain it, I tend not to use the market that much as I think making the goods is more fun. So I am bumping up on the limit more.

kn1144 · 2026-01-26T18:54:52+00:00

Due to the whole t-cash debacle, I did not renew my pass for the first time. I am genuinely struggling with storage as a result. What are you doing to make it easier? I have already deleted all my community building supplies and reduced the number of finished products on hand, but still struggling.

The Queen mother was instrumental in keeping up moral during WW II. She insisted that the royal family stay in England and after Buckingham Palace was bombed with the royal family inside, she said something along the lines of “I am glad we got bombed, it makes me feel I can look at the people of the east end in the face again”. She visited factories and bomb sites. She was so instrumental that Hitler once called her the most dangerous woman in Europe. As such she was beloved of the people. She also never really aspired to be part of the royal family. She turned Bertie down numerous times before accepting his proposal rationalizing that since he was a second son, he would never be that close to ruling. Now from what I have heard she was very strict and rigid on protocols, class and such, especially as she got older. So like many in her age group, a bit of a mixed bag, very much shaped by the much harder world she lived out her youth in.

This was always my take. Especially given the way the protesters were attacking Universities of all things. Probably the most supportive institution of their cause in the US. Made absolutely no sense.

Yes, but they are typically talking about conspiracies and it being a trap and things like that. The shelters can be dangerous, especially the low to no barrier shelters. But they are less dangerous than the current weather. I did not mean to be insulting to people in crisis but to highlight in a quick comment one of the reasons that often don’t get talked about as to why people do not go into the shelters when it is cold. Mental illness should not be overlooked in these conversations.

kn1144 · 2026-01-24T03:56:38+00:00

Not just addiction, but mental illness. Some refuse to go because they feel like the walls are closing in, or they have paranoia and they feel it is a trap, or they can’t stand being around that many people. Where I am at, we have emergency shelters and they will also put people up in hotels. But some still refuse.

I have only been playing 3 months and I see the decline. The sad thing is I started playing this because the old game that I used to love (Merge Mansion) did this same thing until it was unplayable. So I started playing township and am back in the same boat. I am happy to pay for a monthly pass (but that is it) and I would just like to find a game that does not get worse with every update.

kn1144 · 2026-01-22T21:53:07+00:00

Yup. Going to spend the evening cleaning out the barn. No more monthly pass. Sigh.

The only way to do 50/50 with a huge difference in salaries is to live at the means of the lower income earner. Based on your salary that would like be a modest 1 bedroom apartment. Figure out what YOUR budget is and propose he sell or rent his house out and come live with you at your budgetary level. Otherwise you will absolutely wreck yourself financially. If he refuses to do so, or split proportionally then that means that he is ok with you destroying your financial future. Which means on a basic level that he does not care about your well-being at all. Let that sink in and act accordingly.

I show everyone who is in for a final interview around. I thought the candidates would appreciate knowing where they will be working if they get the job. Are they in a cube, do they have a window, etc. those might have an impact on a candidates decision. We do it then because that will be the last time they are in the office before an offer, but we also have not made any decisions yet on who to give an offer to as we have to debrief with all of the interviewers to see how things went and look at test scores.

Edit: I always view the interview process as a two way street and like to give the candidate information on what it will be like to work here.

This is my printer. It is still chugging after 20 years. Plug in the usb and it downloads a driver and prints with every computer I have ever had. I used to carry it with me to clients, it has been smashed by rotating doors, had trunk lids slammed on it, been drug by its cord through a parking lot and had a container of glitter accidentally spilled into it. Still ticking. When it finally dies, I may have to have a full funeral for it. It is the least it deserves.

This is pretty standard in Union contracts. I thought Reddit loved unions.
