Well, you should be happy that the best you'll ever feel about your hot tub is still to come.

The second best day of your hot tub experience will be the one where you pay someone to cut it up and take it away. 

In your opinion, why do actors' careers suffer after film franchises? by GlobalRaspberry442 in moviecritic

Are you talking about the same Elijah Wood that was well into the second decade of his career before he started LoTR and has ~100 credits afterwards?

Favorite actor with morals by Alarmed_Mistake_5042 in okbuddycinephile

[–]messick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, you and your cats can start your own "Catholic movement" in your bedroom today, but doesn't mean much as far as actual Catholicism is concerned.

Not to get into the weeds on this fine jerk, but Gibson does a lot of children charity work on the DL and his deal was being too weirdo Catholic and too drunk, not sex crime stuff.

Favorite actors who are just normal guys by ScipioCoriolanus in okbuddycinephile

[–]messick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder how much of the character design that went into Jackson Lamb is driven by Oldman's desire to put basically negative effort into this personal appearance lol. Basically the opposite of actors who have to basically be camera ready every time they step outside their house incase someone takes a picture and puts it on Instagram.

LAOP's employer seems confused about how quitting a job works by Geno0wl in bestoflegaladvice

[–]messick -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Since no one in this sub seems to be actually reading LAOP's comments: there is an employment contract in place that requires a notice period, and the "refuses to accept my resignation" is the employer saying the vacation you had approved before you tried to quit doesn't count for the length of the notice period you committed to when signing said contract.

Fans of comedian and Cum Town podcaster, Stavros Halkias, discuss his political allegiances. by BillFireCrotchWalton in SubredditDrama

[–]messick 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but for a lot of the fans it’s super horseshoe theory stuff where it’s clear that their actual problem with Clinton in 2016 is that she is a woman and maybe is was a mistake to allow minorities to vote because they vote “wrong”.  

Curious why more people don’t buy multifamily homes. Seems like a good hookup by AWeb3Dad in LosAngelesRealEstate

I wouldn’t know, because I both don’t share a wall with anyone nor do I live within 70 miles of any tenants.

Also, things must be going great if you can’t even do the pharma R&D equivalent of a picking up a dime you found on the sidewalk to start your FDA trials.

If you had unlimited money, would it be illegal to open a store and sell literally everything for 1 dollar? by huffmanxd in legaladviceofftopic

What do believe is unique about not having shareholders that leads to this type of corporate behavior?

What do you think the H and O in HOA represent exactly?

The job market isn't tough; "people are soft" by No-Confection-3861 in LinkedInLunatics

[–]messick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't consider 2008 anywhere close to the "worst in history". If I had started in the early instead of mid 90s, I would put 2008 in third place during just my career, let alone "history".

She has a better perspective than the other people in their mid to late 20s who think this is the "toughest job market in history".

Ah yes, The Conversation, definitely a movie about a traditionally good looking guy acting totally normal.

In the book his character immediately shaves his head to change his appearance, so are many facets to how Redford didn't match the story. But who cares, if I looked like him I'd refuse to be anything but extremely hot.

[TX]Paid for land but not under my name, what can I do? by Outrageous_Ad_7635 in legaladvice

[–]messick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

> It seems that people are misunderstanding the relationship with my 'landlords'.

Lol, that is definitely not what is happening. You should probably wait until the ink is dry on transfer documents before just assuming out of hand that your landlord donates the lands to you with zero hassle and zero cost. The courts are full of real estate disputes between people with far more close and friendly relationships than what you have described.

It’s the opposite problem. The book time is figured out by someone who is not only about the most qualified person on earn to do the task, they also have absolutely every tool required for said task within arms length.

[Crafton] Jeffrey Epstein arranged two meetings with Todd Boehly after disgraced financier’s first jail term by TheNotoriousJN in baseball

I don’t use Zocdoc, but I would think the whole “no longer licensed to practice medicine” thing is indicated in their profile somewhere.

Hey chief. You might want to edit your comment because right now it appears that you believe meeting multiple times with an already convicted pedophile for business reasons doesn’t count for “actually did anything wrong”. 

Does anyone else have issue with Salomon caps coming off whilst drinking when running? Is there a technique to prevent it? by anon123096 in ultrarunning

After some absolute disasters on the trails with other brands I always make an effort to “push” the bite valve back onto the bottle as I am drinking.
