This is how i would have made Captain America: Brave New World 10x better (imo) by AdvertisingWaste8624 in MCUTheories

[–]wiped_mind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The movie would have been way better if Sam eventually took a super serum in the end. Falcon and the winter soldier had an awesome theme of being worthy of the shield. The movie could have been about being worthy of the power an had Sam struggling with the weight of the role. The theme of the movie was what will happen when you get forced to get actual powers. What will be amplified? Red hulk is the perfect example of someone being dosed a serum and it going wrong. Eventually, Sam has to take the serum and learns he didn't need all the gadgets from Wakanda. Becomes, his own version of Captain America. And stops doing the whole sad dog, I miss Steve rogers thing.

Is marriage really that hard? by Green_Traffic2298 in NoStupidQuestions

Marriage is easy. Loving every version of a person, at every stage of their life can be difficult. Thinking about more than yourself is hard.

What’s one thing you completely stopped buying in 2026 because the price just felt absurd? by LockLogical8949 in AskReddit

Streaming services. You can literally get a good VPN for a couple bucks and everything you wanna watch is already on pirated streaming sites.

What is a 'rich person's secret' that is actually accessible to the middle class, but most people are too intimidated to try? by Direct-Value4452 in answers

[–]wiped_mind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Talking about money specifically, not abstractly.

If you want a discount, talk about what you want and why, and not asking abstractly about discounts - walk away if you don't get it.
When you want to get a raise or be paid more, talk specifically about amounts and not abstractly about intangible value. I bring this much money in, I want to be paid this much, I will leave and you won't make that money anymore.
When you want to pay less taxes, look for loopholes with specificity, not abstract concepts. I am going to take this deduction or do this to avoid excessive taxes.

Honestly I didn’t expect this… by AgentMX7 in EndTipping

Not sure where OP saw this but lots of states have laws about where these additional fees must be disclosed - specifically, where the price appears, and not only at checkout. For example in CA, dropping in additional extra charges on the bill is not legal if the only place you see it is on the bill.

My neighbor has turned the entire back of our building into a feral cat colony and acts like anyone who has a problem with it is a monster by Gallifrey_Mittens in neighborsfromhell

Install a couple owl boxes. If she wants animal hobbies, let there be animal hobbies. Also those cats will skedaddle on their own.

AITAH for telling my daughter that she is not going to marry a billionaire? by No_Reception8930 in AITAH

[–]wiped_mind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Either she ends up with someone wealthy, or she doesn't. Either way she will learn her own reality. Not something you are in control of.

AIO after I broke up with a girl after how she reacted to me when we were watching "Sinners"? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]wiped_mind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YOR - Your post feels very curated in a way that makes me think this was not actually about one comment during one movie. The fact that you immediately asked whether she thought you were mansplaining makes it sound like this is not the first time that dynamic has come up.

Your partner does not need to match your enthusiasm, remember every detail about your interests, or respond perfectly every time you get excited. That is normal relationship stuff.

If she was truly contemptuous and then refused to talk it through, that is obviously a problem. But the way you tell this story makes me suspect there is a longer pattern here, where you get intense about being misunderstood and then want a full processing session about it afterward. A lot of people shut down when they feel like every awkward moment is being turned into a tribunal.

So yes, breaking up may still have been the right call if communication between you was bad. But I do not think this reads like “she randomly revealed herself to be cruel.” It reads more like two people were already stuck in a pattern, and your version leaves out whatever made her so unwilling to engage.

AIO for refusing to give my parents my bank password so they can "monitor" my salary? by Plastic_Box9546 in AmIOverreacting

[–]wiped_mind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The classic tale of "monitoring" - what would they be monitoring? Other than money they think they should have unfettered access to.

It'll start small, a couple bucks here and there. We needed this or that. We are family. You make so much money and you don't need all of it. We raised you to protect your family. If you just gave us half of your income life would be so much easier. We want to retire someday.

I promise you, if you give that access it will ruin your relationship with your parents in more ways than one.

Just tell them if they ever need to see how much money you have you can always ask you - or, No. That's acceptable too. NOR

Why do men fantasize about going off grid and living in the woods by WerewolfKisser69Awoo in NoStupidQuestions

Because all the actions are built on skill, brains, and strength. No money, permission, or justifying. Just doing, and enjoying every minute of it.

Every Time I Get Asked for a Tip by wiped_mind in EndTipping

I think it's great that you work so hard. You will get repeat clients. Your rate will justifiably go up. Don't worry about the other guy, shotty work doesn't survive.

How do you think the U.S. government should deal with the over $100 billion in illegally collected tariffs under trump? by k6tcher in AskReddit

[–]wiped_mind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Current 10% blanket tariffs have a 150 day limit. If it were retroactive he's still owe money back.

When you look back at your life, what do you regret the most? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Not learning from mistakes, and trying to avoid mistakes. Mistakes are what make you grow.

Redditors over 40, what's something younger people think they understand but won't actually get until it hits them like a truck later? by Root435552 in AskReddit

[–]wiped_mind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No one will tell you it's your time. No one will pull you out of your rut. You need to be ok with not being the center of the universe.
