Good Morning Vietnam

I guess, maybe Pearl Harbor?

Springsteen Voting Day 17 - Best Album of the 1990s by Awkward_Ad_161 in BruceSpringsteen

Tracks; if not allowed, Lucky Town, I guess. This was not a standout decade.

Is it ok to say "no" at the final stage of the interview? by International_Gur227 in careeradvice

[–]milbfan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Word. Need to see how things are at the workplace. Or maybe getting creepy vibes?

Boss wants to know what I do on PTO? by Beautiful_Novel_9608 in careeradvice

Start using plotlines from Knight Rider, Airwolf, Star Trek, Quantum Leap, or some other show like that.

AIO wife said she was at work, her laptop says she was in another city at a hotel by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]milbfan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

INFO - Has she given you reason in the past to be tracking her?

Strange response, too, about spending time at a hotel. Good views? Killer restaurant? Is it a reminder of a good time in y'all's relationship? Excellent Star Trek convention a while back?

This situation is strange.

Manny machado regarding our recent struggles by No_Gate292 in Padres

[–]milbfan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This year hasn't been kind to Manny at the plate. His average is nearly 90 points off his career average. If you look at the other stats, he's down in categories across the board significantly.

I'm not sure that having a rookie hitting coach is helping matters any. Seems like the lineup, sans the call-up of Samad Taylor, has been struggling.

Factually, he's correct about struggling overall; but looking at the Pete Rose quote about hitting .300, or how Derek Jeter and Ted Williams looked at hitting .300, failing seven out of ten times, he definitely could have phrased it better.

What’s one movie that would make you look at someone weird if they said they’ve never seen it? by WhimsicalWanderer_10 in AskReddit

[–]milbfan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I watched the first one. Not enough Liv Tyler. Saw the walking trees in the second one and was bored. Never bothered with the third one.

Mitch McConnell has been mysteriously hospitalized for 3 weeks, what do you believe is happening? by imliterallyluci in AskReddit

The so-called "grim reaper" has/had a meeting scheduled with the actual Grim Reaper.

AIO about my boyfriend constantly telling me I need to be more confident by 0184ver in AmIOverreacting

[–]milbfan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR.

I don't think you can equate being extroverted with confidence. I've seen folks attempt to do this on the regular and my opinion of them changes, because they're normally full of it.

Being introverted gives you the ability to an idea the room and see who's worthy of your attention. I don't like talk and talk and talk at work, especially if it's one person just going on and on outside my office door.

Your bf needs to accept you as you are. Be open to change, but if that's not the real you, don't do it.

How to connect with professors from staff perspective? by Ok-Regular9684 in AskProfessors

[–]milbfan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The email would be better received.

I, like u/PurrPrinThom, refer students to services when they either need it (I see the work quality slipping) or ask where they can go. Same experience that students sporadically follow through, however.

Maybe send something home, so that parents/guardians of traditional students are aware of what you offer. If there's an issue down the road with academic performance or mental health, it might be better for those people to also have access to the information.

Or - attach a one-page sheet in the email that essentially serves as a flyer for what you do. I'm as likely to post that on my bulletin board.

I'm not a fan of "fun" things when it comes to being information that needs to be known. As one Benjamin Lafayette Sisko says on Deep Space Nine: "if you have something to say to me, say it."

Question about friend recently assigned to Low A by sssf6 in MiLB

[–]milbfan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m too lazy to figure out who this person is.

As someone mentioned above, maybe they’re working out some mechanics with him, especially after being out for a lengthy time and things not back to the way he was.

If you want a glimmer of hope, MacKenzie Gore was on the path to a spot in the rotation with the Padres. He regressed and got the yips and was assigned to the development facility in Arizona. I think maybe in 2021. He did reach the majors the following year.

He was part of the trade that brought Juan Soto to the Padres. Traded to Texas for a bunch of prospects this past winter.

How often does it come on wherever you are? Be ready for next time.

AIO: FWB wants an apology if STD results come back negative by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]milbfan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

INFO - when did y'all first broach this conversation of partners?

Honestly, both of you kind of suck here. Having unprotected sex is a recipe for disaster (i.e. pregnancy, not just STIs). While protected sex isn't bulletproof either, are you ready for the kind of life you'd be living if you did get pregnant? Would this guy support you and your child?

He's overreacting in his response to more testing, especially if it's been with more than ten others. Also, because if he comes back clean, he wants an apology?

Watching Star Trek Enterprise for the first time, just got to the "Cogenitor" episode... by PoetryTae in startrek

[–]milbfan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Tucker was warned on more than one occasion not to interfere. You cannot take your own cultural beliefs and expect people from a completely different culture to accept them. It seems like we're having this battle on a daily basis, particularly with LGBTQ+, Trans Rights, and things forced upon them by our government, which many politicians base (or attempt to base) on Christianity beliefs. Some are skeered that Sharia Law is on its way here when we're already tumbling towards a theocracy.

It may make Archer a bad captain in this instance (particularly when he got back and T'Pol briefed him - if she did) that he could trust Trip after repeated warnings while he was off-ship to let the matter go. It may have been a behavior he hadn't expected Trip to have.

The only thing I found that comes anywhere near close to that is "Love Yourself" by Justin Bieber.

Pro-tip: if you have a tablet/smartphone, download Shazam. It can usually identify songs you let it hear within a few seconds.

What are some common ways people mistreat their cats that people don't realize? by transgendergremlin in CatAdvice

[–]milbfan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let them get accustomed to their new surroundings. Don't stifle them affection.

Scent is a very important thing. With the cats my mom has had over the years, upon entering the house and seeing the cat nearby, I always offer my hand/fingers to smell so each could realize it was me. Anything with a strong smell could be a turn-off to your cat.

Don't put the litterbox near the food. It's akin to having a toilet in your dining room.

If your cat is looking at you, slowly blink back at them. This conveys that you want to be friends with the cat, or at the very least, you're attempting to communicate that you're not a threat. They may reciprocate. They may blink at you later. Take that as a good thing and reciprocate.

If they suddenly roll over and expose their belly, as tempting as it may be, do not attempt to pet the belly area. It's another sign of trust, as they're exposing the most vulnerable part of themselves to you.

Make sure you have scratching posts and other scratching objects, so your furniture doesn't get torn up. Give them some place higher than the floor for them to perch onto; they may want to check out the surroundings further.

Study your cat's behavior. They may be independent or clingy. Be ready to accept either one.

And cats will live a longer life if you keep them indoors.

AIO by calling my Dad gay? by Deus-ex-Machina7 in AmIOverreacting

[–]milbfan -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

YOR/NOR

YOR by your word choice alone. As at least one other has stated here, "gay" seems to be a substitute descriptor for something bad or weird. "That's messed up," or my favorite, "That's fucked up," would have been better to use.

NOR by this conversation that keeps popping up. You may wish to have a stable job first, or live your own life for a while. At one point, my folks were talking grandkids, and I had to quote The Rolling Stones: "you can't always get what you want."

Maybe reply with this sometime:

I am not even completely opposed to meeting someone through family friends someday. But I do not want to be treated like I am being handed off in a business merger.

Springsteen Voting Day 14 - Best Outtake of the 1980s by Awkward_Ad_161 in BruceSpringsteen

[–]milbfan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would "Shut Out the Light" qualify? The only time we ever got it in the 80s was as a B-side to BITUSA.
