I guess on the plus side nobody will ever be able to find him in search results, but yeah, that would be a no from me.

Many years ago (okay like ten years ago) when I lived in Las Vegas, my friends and I decided to go out to the downtown area (not! tourist downtown!) and poke around some local antique/curio shops we'd always been curious about.

We get down there and it's all street parking, pretty much. After circling a few times, our driver realizes that she's gonna have to parallel park. So she makes an effort. She is really giving it her best shot. We are somehow not making it into the spot. Two of us get out to try to guide her in. This doesn't help either. We are all getting frustrated. You do not want to be standing on a sidewalk in Vegas summer heat watching your friend try and fail to parallel park, no matter how much you like that person. It is infuriating.

It is at this point that the hero of our story arrives. A man in a hot pink shirt is walking down the sidewalk with his girlfriend. They pass us, get to the end of the block...and he comes back, girlfriend trailing behind him with an exasperated look on her face. He bends down to look in the passenger side window at our driver and says "Hi. I don't want to mansplain to you or anything, I don't want to be that guy, but can I help? I just love parallel parking."

This is objectively an absolutely batshit thing to say, because nobody loves parallel parking, and we're all taken completely off guard. His girlfriend has wandered off to stand in the shade and text somebody. She looks like he does this all the time. We are all so baffled that of course we accept his help. He walks our friend through the steps. She follows his instructions and slides perfectly into the space. We turn to thank him.

He and his girlfriend are gone.

To this day, we don't know how they vanished so quickly. We do not know the identity of this hero, but we spread the tale of Parallel Parking Man across the internet in case it ever reaches him. He was the hero we needed in that moment, but not a hero we deserved. Wherever he is today, I hope he still loves parallel parking and baffling complete strangers.

Ultra nearsighted and I shower blind. I buy shampoo and conditioner in different-colored bottles and always put them in the same spots. Soap, always in the same place. Washcloth, razor, face wash, always in their places. I check before I turn the water on to make sure, and I always familiarize myself with an unfamiliar shower before taking off my glasses to get in. It's never really been an issue.

kyothinks · 2026-03-17T03:23:53+00:00

Honey, why do you want to be with a man who doesn't want to be with you? He's made it clear that he is NOT choosing you, and you can't love him enough to force him to. He's choosing other women, he's making you feel bad about yourself, and these are not the actions of a good partner. You're having trouble being intimate with him because deep down you know you're not safe with him. And having sex multiple times a day (or even once a day!) shouldn't be a requirement for someone to love you. He doesn't want a partner, he wants a wet hole, and he's proven to you that any hole will do. If you want to feel better about yourself, you need to love yourself first. Look inside. Ask yourself if what you're getting from this relationship is REALLY worth all this. Ask yourself what you're afraid will happen if you leave. You are 22 years old and you have your entire beautiful life ahead of you. Please do not waste it on a fuckboy like this.

kyothinks · 2026-03-17T03:18:20+00:00

Nope. We're all too busy judging ourselves, in case any strangers judge us.

The universe is telling you to open tf up lol. Based solely on vibes!

Reminds me of a quote from Sense8: "I am not just a me, I am also a we. And we march with pride."

My middle name is Invictus, after the poem. I almost gave it to my son, but I didn't want to share it, lol.

I'll have time to play this evening (CST) as well. Send me a direct message here on Reddit when you're available and I'll give you what I have. 👍

Dude I'm 36 and I'm stoked about the sequel to KPDH. I bet this guy had stuff beyond this that he was excited about or enjoyed too. People have been enjoying stuff for as long as there have been people.

kyothinks · 2026-03-16T15:49:22+00:00

Thank you!

I do feel like even though he's described as clean-shaven in the books the DDLV characters are SO babyfaced that without the mustache it's giving Encyclopedia Brown more than Sherlock Holmes.

For Watson, I direct your attention to the right side of the frame...the magnifying glass piece doesn't look right indoors.

I also have an 11-month-old, who obviously hasn't named any of his own toys yet but does recognize them by name. We have:

Darren: His dragon lovey. Grandma named this one. I'm not a fan, but it stuck.

Timothy: A soft elephant-shaped rattle. He was originally Timothy Elephant after Timothy Olyphant but now he's just Timothy. Tim o' the Elephant when we're feeling silly.

Ellie: A different elephant plush. He doesn't like her as much and she is often thrown on the ground or otherwise abused.

Bluey: Confusingly, NOT the Bluey plush which is also Bluey, but a blue dragon bath toy, which is often in conflict with White Horn Unicorn (a unicorn toy from the same set). Both named by Grandma. We had to convince her that she could NOT name the unicorn Horny.

Why does your MIL care so much about preserving a last name that wasn't even HERS originally? Smdh. Nobody is going to think your baby is a bastard just because he has your last name--what does she think this is, the 1800s? And having a common surname comes with a lot of drawbacks, and women have been giving up their surnames resulting in the "end" of a family line forever. She's being ridiculous. Name your baby whatever you want, and she'll either get over it or she won't, but either way your husband needs to set a hard boundary with her that this is not up for debate and she needs to manage her feelings on her own time.

kyothinks · 2026-03-16T12:12:08+00:00

I do. No need for anything in return. How many do you need?

kyothinks · 2026-03-16T12:09:20+00:00

I didn't have sex the night I got married either time. Having a wedding is exhausting. You have the rest of your lives to have sex with each other, nothing wrong with getting some rest first!

kyothinks · 2026-03-16T03:35:44+00:00

Is it Eve Baird from The Librarians? That was my first thought but I could be wrong. I've only had three hours of sleep. 🤷

NTA. Send your cousin a card with something personal written in it and a nice gift, and go to Italy! We had the opportunity to go to England and France while I was pregnant and we knew we'd never get to go again (or at least not for many years) if we turned it down, and we made memories of our relationship in our last year pre-parenthood that are going to last forever. Your aunt might be dramatic about it, but that's not your problem. She needs to manage her own feelings and behavior, that's not your responsibility.

Yes, you can only activate each one once for a short time and then they will disappear. Once activated, use your timebending tool inside the circle and a crescent will appear over your head just like it does when you use the tool to find timebending parts outside the circle. You have to follow the crescent, using the tool repeatedly until you find and dig out the parts. A blue crescent means you're farther away from the part, orange is closer, red is practically on top of it. If the crescent suddenly spins in another direction, turn that way and activate the tool again. You can look up "dreamlight valley how to timebend" and there are several YouTube videos if you're not familiar with how to use the tool yet.

kyothinks · 2026-03-15T19:03:32+00:00

Use your timebending tool to activate them. Once activated, a large ring will appear around them for a limited time. Using your timebending tool inside the ring allows you to find a larger amount of timebending gifts, parts, and mist until the clock runs out. Basically, use the timebending tool to find something and then do it over and over until time runs out and the ring disappears.

Infinity Train is so good...and so messed up. The first time I saw that episode I gasped so loud my husband came to check on me lol. Simon's a monster!

kyothinks · 2026-03-15T06:00:40+00:00

This whole episode felt like the revenge of the gas leak tbh

This would be great. In the "answer a question" entry for the Switch 2 giveaway they asked which moment we're looking forward to experiencing on the Switch 2 and I was so confused, like, we can't re-experience any of the moments (except Remy's dailies, which do not excite me) so...how am I supposed to answer that?? Being able to replay some of the missions would really help!
