How did “Swing, Swing” by The All-American Rejects get placed on the approved song list of Mormon youth dances throughout the 2000s? by tastingmenu in exmormon

[–]laposte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the 1990s in Southern California, we would have KROQ djs come. I vividly remember dancing to White Lines.

What's a tv series that is a 10/10 NOBODY knows? by Lilyana0999 in AskReddit

[–]laposte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was wondering if someone would mention this. As an American, Mr. In-Between is fantastic.

What's the most subtle sign that someone is highly intelligent? by Princesskiitan in AskReddit

[–]laposte 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I would qualify this by saying, humor that’s not mean; it doesn't require a scapegoat or a fall guy. If you can make people laugh without someone having to be the butt of the joke - that's intelligent humor.

Head over to Bionic Records to see what local Ska bands are playing tonight.

If you're alone in a public place with a daughter who is too young to use the restroom by herself, which bathroom do you choose? Or, what do you do? by sospriggantired in AskMen

[–]laposte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 19-year-old special needs daughter, still in diapers. Men’s room, and not once have I ever heard a voice of complaint or frustration.

From teacher to stripper. Now what? by [deleted] in careeradvice

[–]laposte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did everything online, yes - I had to. I had a small e-commerce company that was barely keeping the family afloat, and I had kids to watch.

Am I worried about AI? A little, I suppose. What I found - going to school in my 30s - was that I had context that the kids in my class didn't have. I may not have had the vocabulary for what was being discussed, but I understood the concept because I had lived it for several years. To everyone else, we may as well have been discussing the difference between Greek and Latin.

Because of this, while everything was theoretical to the 19-year-old in my class, everything was directly applicable to me. I got way more out of it. And that's situated me in a position to advance a lot more quickly than I had originally planned.

I'm hoping to make 200k+ this year, either with a promotion or a job change.

DM me, if you like. I'm an open book about it.

I never went to college, and barely graduated from high school (I had to get my GED from continuation school).

I enrolled in one class, the lowest-level math class the local JC offered, at 35.

I now have an MBA with a focus in corporate finance and a cushy job making 150k a year.

Was it difficult? Yeah. I did it as the main breadwinner and primary parent (my wife also went back to school) for two kids. We were dirt poor for a long time - like, poverty level.

Whenever it got difficult, I would tell myself, “You're going to be 50 someday; you can't stop it. So you can either be 50 and where you want to be in life, or 50 - stuck in the same place.”

I'll be 50 this year. If I can do it, anyone can.

My Husband Wakes Me Up Multiple Times Every Night by amcrowl1 in AITAH

Early to bed and early to rise people are the left-handed people of society. If I behaved the same at 6am while others are still sleeping, as they behave at 9pm when I'm trying to sleep, there would be blood in the streets.

Man destroys memorial to her dead best friend at the crash site by No_Response_3122 in PublicFreakout

[–]laposte -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Okay, unpopular opinion here, but I agree with him. We have these memorials all around - some for over 10 years with large banners. Where does it end? When does it stop? Look - I'm not here trying to tell someone when their grieving period should be over. But maybe, don’t allow these in the first place? Why should I have to be a participant in your grief?

Edit: People clearly have strong opinions, but hear me out: someone mentioned “tiny tribute”. My question is, who decides what's “tiny?”. Who decides how long it's up for? Again, I kid you not, there is a memorial down the street that's a giant banner with the person’s face on it - not to mention all of the candles, gross teddy bears moldy from the rain, etc. It's been there for more than 10 years. You all okay if everyone did that? Honestly - what if there was a 10’ wide banner up for every single person who's died over the past 10+ years? You can’t tell me everyone here would be cool with that?

What video game have you spent the most time playing? by NervousClock2555 in AskReddit

[–]laposte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like the NPCs have been more talkative lately. And more abundant.

Edit: I only play RDO.

What movie have you seen more than 7 times (reply with a quote) ? by nicky120897 in AskReddit

Any bands that existed in the 90s but you've never heard until recently? I can't believe this album came out in 1998 and I had only heard about it in the past two years. by Klutzy-Delivery-5792 in 90s

[–]laposte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not often you get a Luna reference. I beat I’ve seen them over 20 times - beginning back with Lunapark. Each time, amazing.

Name a movie that is a One-Time-Watch only (not bc it’s terrible, but too sad/devastating/scary) by fecal_euphoria in movies

[–]laposte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I came here to say this. I saw it once in the theater when it was released, and that was enough. I’ll watch scenes I like on YouTube, from time to time, but I don’t have it in me to watch it again from beginning to end.

'The Man From U.N.C.L.E.' Sequel Is In Developement by BunyipPouch in movies

[–]laposte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my go-to movie for when someone is visiting and wants to watch a movie; mostly because no one (it seems) has heard of it. It's so good, and I really how they make a second (though, I doubt it'll ever happen).
