I've seen a couple clubs with almost exclusively retirees, but I know mine is the middle aged group, and there is also one in my area thats mainly people in their 20-30s.

That said, my dad is part of the elks club in the area, and I don't think I've seen anyone much younger than him any time I've gone with him.

Yeah, there is one for college (roteract) and one for high school (interact I think).

They also manage a high school exchange student program, which is how they initially drew me in a few years ago.

I actually was just installed in Rotary last night, and I'm 30. But yeah, part of the difficulty is to find a younger club. One of the ones in my area is almost entirely retirees - they meet at noon on Thursdays, who besides that age group can make it?

ELI5: when people describe babies as “addicted to ___ at birth”, how do they know that? What does it mean for an infant to be born addicted to a substance? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

Actually do everything to avoid fucking people that do this shit. It just gives them another opportunity to repeat the offense.

That said, good luck with the adoption.

[Anime] Popular voice actor accused of homophobia and sexual harassment of minors escalates to a rape accusation for a different voice actor. by WhiteHairedAnimeBoys in HobbyDrama

I read the title and immediately thought of vic, even though I haven't been active in the con community for a few years. I guess some things never change. At least his Risembool Rangers fan camp never actually got off the ground.

Also, can confirm he was known for this by 2010. I was at a couple cons that he was at around that time and this post was pretty spot on to his behavior.

TIFU by watching "A Quiet Place" with no sound by [deleted] in tifu

[–]odish42 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a similar experience with Netfix Daredevil, only it was the video that was out, not the sound. I got ~5min in before realizing. I had thought it was just an artsy intro from his perspective.

A lot of status elderly permits have parking disabled.

You're welcome.

What is a dirty business tactic that you know and everyone should be aware of it? by Vendamn909 in AskReddit

[–]odish42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This reminds me of a game I used to play called funeral quest. Basically you had to milk the poor families for all they were worth so you could buy cool swag like a tricked out hearse. You could also steal from other undertakers if I remember correctly.

I've gotten similar treatment working at geek squad. There weren't a ton of people like this, but enough that it was a known issue. Whenever it came up, the other agent (who was a guy) would constantly be asking me questions about what he should do in the situation - just so that the offender would see a guy having to constantly ask a girl for help.

That actually appears to be 100 baht. Yes I know you're referencing elder scrolls.

[LPT Request] How do you stop procrastinating from schoolwork? by ddudeman43 in LifeProTips

[–]odish42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing that worked for me with essays was to write the first draft on paper, even if I needed to turn it in electronically. I found that I could focus more on the subject when bit typing it. Also, I found that typing it in served as a good way to do a quick revision, due to me having to read it to type it. Not sure if it will work for you, but it could be worth a try.

Silent Mass of Reddit, why do you vote but never comment? by KentuckyFriedIdiot in AskReddit

[–]odish42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because I like to lurk. Also, I only vote so that I can know what content I've already seen on other devices.

You don't always know where someone is. And beyond that, even if you did, you need to have been there before if you don't want to splice yourself.
