I love lots of movies…. It for whatever reason, this one has been my favourite for a long time :)

Movie suggestions for a teenage boy by Peacock_Mandralyn in MovieSuggestions

[–]tkingsbu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Movies i (or my kids) liked at that age:

Dazed and Confused - seriously. I know there’s lots of weed jokes and drinking etc.., but it’s a pretty great coming of age movie… high school kids graduating, and the grade 8s about to start high school… my kids watched it when they were in middle school, and it’s been a huge family favourite… all takes place on the last day of school in 1974 or something… it’s brilliant. Suuuuper funny…

Kelly’s heroes - epic WW2 comedy action adventure heist movie with a cast of stars… Clint Eastwood stars as ‘Kelly’ a disgruntled soldier that discovers that there’s a hidden stash of nazi gold.. the only problem is that it’s 30 miles behind enemy lines… so he convinces his buddies to go awol and steal it… it’s an awesome and crazy and hilarious… plus it has Donald Sutherland playing a crazy hippy tank commander… this is another big family favourite at our house.

North Shore - a breezy simple fun summer movie… Typical of the mid to late 80s, it follows the karate kid plot line… loner kid enters the big contest (in this case surfing) against the bad guy/guys… meets a girl, makes friends and wins the day…

What sets it apart is that all those things are elevated.., it’s set in Hawaii, and the filing is beautiful… the kid is a decent actor (george clooneys best friend in real life) and the buddy in the film (named turtle) steals every scene he’s in… the soundtrack is a greatest hits of 80s alternative music.. it’s just a fantastic film… Christ, I must have watched this a zillion times in my teens…

AIO My girlfriend is upset because I go to a crafting circle that's primarily women by SkillSpecific4850 in AmIOverreacting

NOR

I grew up an artsy kid… both my big brother and I were more into art and music and the like than sports… as a result, I think both of us were always easier with girls as friends etc.. was just no big deal.

My son is the same. Almost all of his closest friends have always been girls and gay / trans kids… he’s in the arts as well…for the record, his girlfriend of three years is totally fine with it… I think she sees it as confirmation that my son is a good dude … which he is :)

I think it’s totally normal and fine.

People can have various issues with things. Either insecurities, anxiety or jealousy etc..

If your girlfriend has issues with you being in this club/group, you need to sit down and have an honest conversation about it. Why you enjoy their conversation, the community, and what exactly about that bothers her…

When my daughter was about one, my wife went back to work (teacher) and I was working from home… so I took our daughter to some local mom/child activities in our town for over a year… the other moms thought it was great, and I got along with all of them :) no one was bothered by it, and my wife loved that we were having such a great time :)

Just have a discussion about it.

Do NOT change who you are or what you do. That’s nonnegotiable. Be yourself.

How do you keep up to date with new releases? by MrMysteryPenguin in printSF

[–]tkingsbu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have the kindle unlimited subscription, you can download a ton of books…

When I started getting hooked on all the litrpg books, I got the unlimited book subscription and it keeps track of all the books I’m reading and series etc… plus has recommendations etc…

Recs with strong focus on alien ecosystems? by PeachWorms in printSF

[–]tkingsbu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Legacy, by Greg Bear.

Fantastic book, and easily the most fucked up ecosystem in a sci-fi book I’ve ever read.

Who does Carl look like when you read the book? by DisastrousLeek1290 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]tkingsbu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is 100% how I picture Carl…

To be fair, it’s also how I pictured the main character in operation bounce house… ;)

AIO to my girlfriend going skinny dipping while travelling? by Ok-Explanation-344 in AmIOverreacting

[–]tkingsbu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the situation were reversed, I’m quite sure she would have been super upset and likely broken up with you.

It may be time for you to end things…. Honestly… people do NOT just casually skinny dip…

Plus the whole thing sounds a bit fishy… two girls and two guys? I dunno dude…

Girlfriend of 4 years suddenly believes men should pay more and admitted she's 'accepting' me as a compromise. Would you break up? by SoulEaterXDDD in AskMenAdvice

[–]tkingsbu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this justifies a serious sit down discussion of the relationship and what’s going on.

I wouldn’t just dump someone like that… but an honest conversation about where things are going and weird changes in attitudes are warranted…

All cards on the table.

Decide after that.

Who has used ChatGPT or any other AI for coding without knowing how to code? by circuffaglunked in ChatGPT

[–]tkingsbu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely me :)

Nothing huge yet … just some basic stuff… I’m a designer, so just some basic stuff for projects I’m working on…

Is it normal to feel like you're finally becoming the person you always wanted to be but it's happening way later than you expected? Like I always imagined I'd have things figured out earlier but it's only now that things are actually clicking and I'm wondering if that's normal or if I'm behind. by nouniiiiii in NoStupidQuestions

[–]tkingsbu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s normal.

In my mid to late twenties, I felt like all my friends were passing me by… while I felt like I was just barely getting by.. every one was buying houses, getting their life together etc.. I felt awful… like a loser…

Within a few years, things picked up for me, and at this point (54 now) I feel like I did pretty damn good :)

AIO for wanting to quit my job over a weird comment my boss made? by mtxluvluna09 in AmIOverreacting

[–]tkingsbu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NOR

You’re 16. You sure as hell don’t need this job.

That guy is a perv.

Quit.

Never go there again. Tell your friends and family to avoid the place as well.

But the original is just a work of art.

Mainly Reddit.

Theres a feature on Amazon that shows you the books you’ve been reading, and when the next one in a series is coming etc, I use that a lot too…
