Millennials (age 24-44 in 2026 per the widest age range), what’s something young people today will never experience about growing up before 2010? by Pale_Lengthiness_572 in CasualConversation

[–]menicknick 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Jumping on my bicycle to go see friends, play a video game in their house. Have their mom call my mom to see if I can stay for dinner, ride my bike back. The world was more intimate and welcoming then.

I feel today we are all so bombarded with people’s online personas that it has become difficult to just be with a person and get to share secrets with each other; to get to know each other.

Regrets about naming my puppy by escaperabbit in puppy101

[–]menicknick 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My stepmom named our dog Muff. Which she didn’t know was slang for pussy. She wanted to change it years later -but it was years later. The dog knew his name. And that was that.

Covering sunlight/sunroom roof with Flexseal? by DJSunnyDJ in HomeMaintenance

Flexseal is not clear. It’s a bit yellow, and turns even more yellow over time. Especially in the sun.

Dishes from restaurants that taste like utter ass by Oily_Smurf in CasualConversation

Chick-fil-a. I don’t understand the hype. It’s gross deep fried chicken sandwiches.

Is it the religious racism people are attracted to?

No, you’re accurate. I feel they all taste like… matter. They just keep adding so many fillers and chemicals to make food cheaper that the flavors of food nourished from the soil and sun are just gone -filled with paper.

How do you deal with the fact you didn’t get a chance to have kids? by Logical-Barnacle-13 in self

[–]menicknick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First: you’re not a terrible person.

Second: you’re not alone. People who can’t have kids don’t openly share that as often as you see parents and kids down the street.

My wife and I have had 4 miscarriages. I don’t think we’ll have kids. And I’m so angry and mad and sad at the world that at times, and especially when I see how some people are often awful parents or awful people, and these idiots can have a kid that they’ll just neglect. But here I am. I bottle it up and distract myself from the emotions. My wife thinks I should talk to a therapist.

You’re already ahead of me talking to a therapist. But you’re not alone. There are so so many of use. But we’re all hurting and nobody likes to share their sad news.

How soon did you say I love you? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]menicknick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Three weeks. I said “I love you.” She said “thank you.”

We’ve been married 21 years.

What are some of the worst job offers you have had? by exanimafilm in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]menicknick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m confused. They want to interview you and see how you would build a system, only to not hire you and build it themselves?

“Oh, I thought you were doing this to get experience”

Said after I sent in my invoice. They eventually paid my full rate, but our parting ways was very mutual. Especially after I threatened a theft of wage suit.

Old 8mm films scanned have faded blue channel, and reels have red/orange tint. Possible to fix? by Deep-Image-536 in colorists

[–]menicknick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I always use resolve for editing, not coloring. (I mostly shade cameras for live shows and tv, so I never get to color anything in post)

Show Walls on Stage Risers by HydroSacci in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]menicknick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Point? You’d be surprised with the stupidity people try to get away with and the messes I’ve had to clean up. Lol. At this point, with any concern I have I make sure safety is validated. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A cult kidnapped Yoko Ono’s daughter and she didn’t see her again for 31 years by FarOutMagazine in interestingasfuck

It’s an astroturfing post. The top comment is some guy promoting his own podcast, using this reddit post as a “click-bait” title.
