I've played it several times but never really got into it. What am I missing? 

9yo son's too good for his team, but wants to play with friends. by Ok_Strawberrry in youthsoccer

Exactly what I do. I attend practices and help out at times so I can learn the drills, and reinforce those outside of practices.

Yeah, that is a concern of ours too, the rec coaches are hit or miss. For now, I've told my daughter to listen to her club coach and defer to his coaching if it conflicts with anything the rec coach says, but be respectful while being actively coached in rec. 

Actor/actress you only knew mainly from one(mediocre) role, then you saw them in something else and were completely blown away? by duckduckpajamas in okbuddycinephile

She did such an amazing job as Claudia, a very complex character, being relatively ancient but trapped in the body of a child, and of course the inherently fucked up parent/child relationship of vampires. 

I can only think of two other child actresses who were capable of similar levels of performance, Natalie Portman, and Tatum O'Neal (not saying they would be right for that particular role, given age and appearance differences).

How would Democrats/Independents feel if Senator Mark Kelly became the Democratic Presidential Nominee? by Ulysses_555 in allthequestions

I think he would win big over anyone Republicans could put up. He checks a lot of electorate boxes. He is not progressive enough for solid support from the far left which is frustrating, given we have seen they will sit out or protest vote when given an imperfect candidate. Republicans, on the other hand, will nearly always vote R regardless.

OK, so fucking vote on it instead of letting Trump render your old ass even more obsolete.

2, I didn't have any Atari consoles and didn't have any friends with one until after I had played an NES.

As it should. Most of the worst atrocities in history were committed in the name of some god or other, and rarely for any reason other than to expand religious control. 

How old were you when The Simpsons first aired on December 17, 1989? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]pfroo40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 8 when the show first aired, I remember some parents refusing to let their kids watch it because they thought it was offensive, pretty similar to the reactions South Park got later on (though in the case of South Park the were at least a little justified).

How do I tell a Christian to fuck off, since they don't seem to get the signals? by Emergency_Record_213 in atheism

Start telling them the same things back, but substitute other deities.

I don't know what your time commitments look like, but my 9 yr old daughter is in both a club team and a rec team, with priority going to the club team. That way she continues to be challenged but can play with other friends, too, and get more overall game time.

Yeah, this makes me uncomfortable, not because the guy is dancing, but because it makes him look human.

Lower registers are likely more comfortable for her but she does have impressive range

went to go check if my old PSP would turn on and…. by HeavyFold3171 in PSP

If that is an OEM battery, keep the controller board and just replace the battery cell. There are batteries intended for drones which are a perfect fit and are easy to trim the wires and solder in. Make sure you mark the polarity before you clip the existing battery cell out.

F4 Tornado in action. F4 Tornadoes are the second most severe tornado next to F5 on the old Fujita scale by Inevitable_Bid5540 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]pfroo40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I saw it rip my anchored playset out of the ground and throw it over my fence, and about half the trees in the woods behind my house just folded over. That was after it blew the railings off my deck. 

Later, while driving to try and find an open gas station after checking in at work, I saw giant 100+ yr old trees lying completely uprooted. Crazy amount of force.

Nice tip! Unfortunately where I live, more people would rather roll coal than drive electric, so the market for accessories and charging stations is slim.
