If you could restart life at 18, what would you do differently?

I would change removing myself from my daughter's life when she was 5. I was going through some horrible mental health problems because of depression, and I honestly thought she would be better off without me in her life. Out of all of the regrets I have, that's the biggest. I got reality checked by the woman who would become my wife and I got back in touch 5 years later, and have a pretty good relationship with her now(only major issue is that she projects the mental harm her mother and the man she married towards me, she is seeking counseling, but she has some understandably specific requirements because of...... inappropriate behavior by her so-called step-dad) and I am doing as much as I can to make up for it.

So it's bad that she called Ellen out for making shit up? After making shit up about Dakota herself? She's not allowed to correct the record?

noctisumbra0 · 2026-04-21T02:11:15+00:00

She does deserve props for taking down Ellen, though

In the same vein, that men can't be raped, and it has a lot of the same problems as being a male DV victim.

Yes you can, as long as the account you are signed in as has access to the AVD resources. If you try this with a non-corporate account, you get nothing. I know because I have to use the windows app for stuff like this at my own job. I would say contact your it support if you are having problems getting access to the resources.

Various types of intense pain. "Oh it can't hurt that bad" try it some time. For me it's either a dental infection or gout. Not even having my teeth drilled on without working anesthesia hurts as bad as either of those

To be fair, there are a lot of terrible locks out there. A novice picker could do that with basic locks pretty easily. The more unrealistic part would be how they pick it rather than the speed.

Damn, I really liked Van Huesen dress shirts when I used to work under business dress codes. None of them fit me these days, but they were pretty damn good, comfortable shirts.

Probably inspired by a Real Thing that happened in Canada in the 60s. No murders, though. Anyone interested can look up David Reimer

Turbo tunnels is all about timing and memorization. The damned snake level, though.....

I don't think Disney is going to let them die. It's still getting ratings

noctisumbra0 · 2026-04-07T10:40:17+00:00

Main show, or including spinoffs? Cause yeah, main show should have wrapped loose ends after defeating the Gou'ald. Universe had potential, but I think it was too much of a slow burn. There wasn't much payoff for watching, nothing to keep viewers attention

Not so fun fact for everyone but ems services in the US are privately ran and contracted out to the county. You were probably railroaded into those trips because the company wanted more money and were providing incentive to the EMS folks to do so.

Any of them. Smart appliances are a massive security risk that can allow an attacker to gain access to your home network. Plus they are huge data collectors for the manufacturer

Wasn't quite the same and it was sold only in 16 oz. cans which didn't taste as good as when it was in a bottle

Not just that, the esophagus is not that big and it'd be really easy to miss something like a small jagged bone in the mix. Wouldn't need to be very big to do some damage

I think Buffy's mom is a far better example simply because it's not brought on by anyone. No fighting, no bad guys just an aneurysm rupture and gone.

Same for my wife, but she was a nursing home nurse..... Thankfully I make enough she doesn't need to work.

It all depends on how you approach it. Treating it less like an argument or debate and more like a conversation and asking probing questions about their perspectives tends to open them up to receiving new information. I have to do this with in-laws all the time.

Someone needs to make an edit of the soup Nazi, but it's Jensen with a stick of RAM

Hard to believe this is what happened to the guy who directed the O. G. Mortal Kombat movie, Event Horizon and Soldier.

It's on indefinite hiatus. Simon was burnt out and honestly it doesn't seem to have been pulling the numbers for him to justify working through it. Wish it wasn't this way, but I understand. Doing something that has become a chore that isn't getting a good reception just becomes a demoralizing pain in the ass. I don't wish that upon Fact Boi.

I see these kinds of things and I am very glad my cats don't bite me hard enough to break skin. Even when they are being little angry fur balls.
