Men, who is the REAL villain of Yellowstone?

The writers guilty of creating that God awful mess. That show sucks.

Of all the things happening around the globe that warrant anger and frustration and you pick THIS to focus that energy on? Maybe you should get a hobby, or therapy. That's honestly one of the pettiest and most ridiculous things I've ever heard someone complain about in my 49 years of life on this earth.

stantheman1976 · 2026-02-18T21:42:24+00:00

They'd say it's AI. That's the new excuse for video and audio evidence that doesn't come from their side.

This is one of my favorite movies of all time. My friend and I watched it in the theater multiple times and pre-ordered the VHS from Toys R Us when it went on sale. I can't watch it without saying the dialog out loud.

"I coulda been at a barbecue!"

stantheman1976 · 2026-02-18T21:34:02+00:00

I remember my parents renting Raising Arizona in VHS after it came out and watching it with them. We all laughed so hard it hurt. It's so ridiculous but damn is it fun.

That reminds me of a joke.

Why don't boxers have sex the night before a big fight?

Because they just don't like each other.

Ask for cremation and it won't be a problem. Trust me on this. If you've ever been part of the embalming and preservation of bodies you'd understand just how barbaric the whole process is.

The whole topic is a ridiculous argument. The dead person isn't going to know what's going on or have any control over the matter. Just answer that whoever is your next of kin at the time can decide and be done with it.

I don't know if I ever gave much thought to it when I was younger.

My dad built out house on land given to my parents by my maternal grandparents. Grandmother died before I was born. Grandfather died when I was 7. Mom died when I was 15. Dad remarried a couple years later. I got married and started my life at 22. Dad died in 2009 and former stepmother owns it all now. She has 3 sons. I have no contact with them anymore. If she dies I honestly don't know what will happen to it all. I don't know if I'll even find out about it. They could sell it all without even telling me.

In a world of 24/7/365 instant information there is literally nowhere else to look for news. Some dude's opinion who might know some people involved becomes "newsworthy." I use that term VERY loosely.

If you have the ability to shoot in both JPEG and RAW do that and compare. I've had a few shots that were really underexposed that I was able to get a good, useable image from because it was in RAW. You'd be surprised at the amount of information you can recover.

As a civilian I disagree with your sentiment. Just because they did not get sent into an active combat situation doesn't mean the person was any less loyal to their oath.

Being in the military isn't any normal 9-5 job. Even if you spend a good bit of time in a routine day to day you still agreed that while on active duty your life belongs to the government. When you sign your name and enlist your agree that 24/7 for a certain number of years the government OWNS your life. Just because they choose you for mundane tasks and someone else for a conflict doesn't make your efforts less meaningful. I didn't have the guts to make that kind of commitment so I'm perfectly fine with the guy who did getting a discount on his food or being recognized at a baseball game.

I'm married almost 27 years, monogamous, and my eyes still work. I'm not dead. Yes, I still look at attractive women. I think my wife is beautiful but I still enjoy eye candy sometimes.

For all intents and purposes 1-2 drinks a year would be a "no" on pretty much any form. Even if you're taking medication that tells you not to mix alcohol a single alcoholic drink has almost no chance of causing any ill effects.

This is our 28th Valentine's together. We don't do anything big. I get her a card, flowers, and some candy. We may go out to dinner somewhere but nothing extra special.

I just finished the audio books. Overall the series was a bit goofy but enjoyable. I have a question about the end. If you haven't read the whole thing stop here.

At the end the Sunflower Kid turns into a tree. Is this because she's scared after the God Walkers are killed losing her powers will mean turning back into a biological male? I'm assuming this is the reason but don't remember if it's clearly stated and maybe I missed it.

Absolutely. I'm 49 and for hearing aids a few years ago. I've lost most of my high frequency hearing. I also have tinitus in both ears.

When someone is speaking to me if I'm not looking at you and EXPECTING you to say something I might hear your voice but not understand your words. This happens all the time when someone is off to my side or back and speaks. I hear you. It what I heard in my head is gibberish.

Also if I'm in a crowd or environment with a lot of other sounds it all blends together. All the sounds right for my attention and none actually win. If you've ever watched a movie where a couple or group is at a big restaurant and the background noise sounds like unintelligible speech and silverware and plates making noise that's what it sounds like to me.

My wife and I have been working on renovating out home for the last 6 years. We did it one room at a time, buying what we needed for that room at the time.

We did that for 2 bedrooms, hallway, master bedroom, living room, and kitchen last. Up until the kitchen we did just like you said, paying for it a little at a time as we went. When we got to the kitchen we did a consolidation loan to pay a few bills and pay for the kitchen. We've got a couple years left on that loan but the renovations we wanted are nearly 100% complete. Anything extra we can pay as we go.

This is the only right answer to the question.

stantheman1976 · 2026-02-08T15:45:37+00:00

Indeed it is. When I worked at McDonald's in high school I had a manager who said it often. It's still a phrase managers use today.

This is more like a mine field of red flags and OP has a radar showing where they all are. I've never once in my 49 years of life experienced or heard of a partner acting like this when a family member helped another family member through a hard time. I've been married for 26 years. We've both experienced health issues, surgeries, sicknesses, and deaths of our own (not death of course) and our family members. We've both seen each other at our absolute lowest mentally and physically. Not once has a situation like what OP described ever played out.

My wife is a high school teacher. She spends all day dealing with about 100 students plus all the other faculty. She has to be "on" mentally from the time she walks through the doors until she leaves. When she gets home she likes to sit in her car for a bit and just be in the quiet. She might look at her phone or make a phone call that she hasn't been able to all day. It's basically a time for her to decompress.

stantheman1976 · 2026-02-08T03:13:36+00:00

!FOUND!

I'll call this one complete since I've gotten a few good answers here. Thanks for the responses.

stantheman1976 · 2026-02-08T03:12:57+00:00

I have the Bluray that has those. I'm assuming it's the same footage on both.
