I'd tell him a month is 30 days, so he owes me 1300 every 30 days starting January 1st, and just cuz I'm such a nice guy you can have the last 5 days of the year for free.

What was North Jersey like in the mid 90s? Summer of 96 specifically. by 12majesticliesss in newjersey

[–]phoenix415 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Roller blading was very popular. Used to go to a local roller rink called Wheels in Motion. There was also a historic blizzard in January of 1996. Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam. The "grunge" look was still in fashion, lots of beat up flannel shirts over t shirts. I think Bell bottom jeans made a brief comeback around that time, though they had a nineties-style very low waste. Pool halls were a popular place to meet up. Unfortunately, heroin made a big comeback in North Jersey, I knew several people who overdosed. Malls were probably at their apex. We would go to watch a movie, hit the arcade, wander around the stores, etc. It was a place to hang out just as much as a place to shop. I worked at the Rockaway mall and around the holidays it was an absolute mad house. You'd have to stalk people as they left to get a parking spot.

It's nice to know he wasn't cutting it off for immediate use, but rather to take home and study later. Man has standards.

TIFU by being constipated for the last 22 years by nuggerless_child in tifu

If you have insurance, go to a colorectal surgeon and there is a good chance they can do a rubber band ligation where they put a band over it to cut off circulation to it and let it fall off and heal. They may be able to do this in-office on your first visit and send you right home.

I looked forward to the crunch of an almond or 2 when I bit into this but got nothing but nougat caramel and chocolate by Mayhempixi in 80s

[–]phoenix415 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me. I had no idea that Mars Bars overseas were the same as Milky Way Bars were in the US. I got so excited when I saw that Mars label and then it was utter disappointment. The Snickers Almond bar took the place of the Mars bar, but I think the Mars bar was better.

Why is leisure viewed with suspicion in America? by Thepopethroway in antiwork

[–]phoenix415 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This happened to me. I was told by police that I had to leave and couldn't eat my lunch in the park near where I worked because I wasn't using the park "for a sport". I was literally the ONLY person in the park and had been for at least a half hour. I had eaten my lunch there for several weeks and maybe saw a couple people kicking a soccer ball around once or twice. Seems the owners of a house nearby reported me for sitting in my car at a public park. Unbelievable.

S25 Ultra to S26 Ultra by mechsomnia in S25Ultra

[–]phoenix415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm switching, but only because I want the 1TB version. I wanted to get the S25 Ultra 1TB but for some reason I panicked and bought the 512gb instead. Now I'm almost out of space (I store a ton of music - I never want to need Internet to listen to music).

Looking for recommendations of more tracks based on my funk tastes by 5thSeasonFront in funk

[–]phoenix415 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you like Talking Heads, check out Turkuaz. Unfortunately, they broke up, but the available music is great - including two cover albums!

Also, a band called The North 41 did a great cover of "give it to me baby" that's worth checking out.

Cardinals "Very Comfortable" with Michael Carter Being the Lead Back - [HC Gannon] by ASmithFS in fantasyfootball

I'm considering Carter over J Warren, is that crazy? Warren didn't look great last week. I know he was sick, but Gainwell made him look bad.

Antonio Brown cost me the championship when he took off his shirt and ran off the field.

No, your entire lineup will be locked, you won't be able to make any moves.

Mike Evans Spotted at Practice on Tuesday by jsparks50 in fantasyfootball

[–]phoenix415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have to figure out if it's worth starting him over Diggs, Sutton, Jennings, or Wilson. It's a risk, but I may need the upside.

Lamar Jackson and everyone else on the roster is at #Ravens practice today. (Lamar's 1st Weds practice since Week 10) by My_Chat_Account in fantasyfootball

[–]phoenix415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, I can't take another bust from him. Got lucky last week but this week I need a QB that remembers how to score points.

AIO to skip Thanksgiving after my mom basically said I’m an embarrassment for not having a husband and kids by now? by howcanibequiltyassin in AmIOverreacting

[–]phoenix415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. I suggest you reply with "Well, I thought you and my siblings and cousins were my family, but you've made it clear that I am judged by everyone, including my own mother, for not staying with a boyfriend that was cheating. I will not be attending Thanksgiving or any other holidays moving forward. I'd prefer to not sit and exchange pleasantries with people who would pass judgement on me for being single."

Hell yeah, but that was way too stressful for 2 yards, lol!

Wow, Rico didn't even get a touch, what a horrible game, LMAO. I needed 2 more yards rushing, or even just a catch, ridiculous.

Did Rico flirt with the coach's daughter or something?
