I guess I was expecting her to be exclusively into Akira Kurosawa and French New Wave or something like that.

She should get over herself, drink a beer, and sit through Sharktopus.

Some of the best movie nights I've had was just inviting people over for dinner and drinks and then drunkenly watching lovely movies that nobody was invested in and we could make fun of.

I mean, I'm not an overly cautious driver by most any metric, but that's still pretty stupid. How much faster are you getting to your destination at that point versus the increased likelihood that an accident kills you?

If only there were other ways of entertaining each other at home other than staring at a screen...

Comes off as an "it hurts when I do this" sorta thing to me.

Doesn't even touch the fact that putting a movie on at home is something I do as a backdrop and only plan on half paying attention to unless it's like, a viewing party or something. If I have a choice between talking to a friend, or watching some movie/tv show, I'll choose the friend 100 out of 100 times.

Ah yes, Tarantino, well known snooty and avant garde director

His films are impenetrable to the normal, plebian public
Tarantino is a pretentious piece of poo poo though, and he does tend to be popular with the snooty "you have to have a very high IQ to understand..." crew.

It's just that his movies are at once trying to be "ahead of [their] time" and beating you over the head with the plot points.

*Drives 85 during cold snap*

That was a one off, it could have happened to anyone. Wasn't really my fault. I am an excellent driver.

Not just that, they're the furthest thing possible from snooty. The guy himself is crazy pretentious, but a lot of his films boil down to titties and guns. They're primarily just action films with a filter on.

Sometimes swords, and replace filters with "look at this new camera technique I just learned about!" roughly half the time.

Ok read it loved it back up to speed.

1. Glad I came back in time for Phiz Kalifa to call homosexuality a fetish.

2. Touched a boob reminds me of the first time I made out with a girl and got really embarrassed when I got a boner which in retrospect probably didn’t gross her out.

3. I think of “pretentious” as carrying a connotation of falseness and posturing, but Tarantino strikes me as someone who is legitimately just that passionate at what he does. He’s a weird dude, but I don’t think he makes his movies to impress anyone. I think he just loves making them.

Tarantino’s movies are also loving tributes to trashy, exploitative 70’s schlock, so she’s really missing the point

My wife [35F] thinks I [37M] have too many weapons and wants me to get rid of some because of our kids [1F, 4M, 7M].

quote:

I've been with my wife now for 12 years. She knows I like weapons (knives, swords, axes, machetes, guns, bows, etc.) and collect them. It was never a problem either.

Due to an increase in salary, I've been able to acquire a lot more over the last couple of years. I buy a new item probably on average every 2 weeks or so. I don't show most of what I buy to my wife, so she's not really paid attention to how much I've been buying. Somehow it came up the other day (I was talking about certain pieces I own and I think she finally realized that I have a lot of everything) and she wanted to know what I have, so I showed her. Now she thinks I have too many weapons and is concerned about our children getting hurt or being negatively influenced. Everything I have is stored in a room with a lock on the door, and only I have the key. All my guns are in safes. Some of my knives are locked away, but most of the axes, swords, and machetes are not. Bows definitely aren't.

I really don't see the issue. It seems to be more about the quantity than any real threat to our kids. I would like to ignore her request, but she's been pushing me on this. Is there a way to maybe get her to overcome the fear and realize that everything is stored safely away from our kids?

tl;dr: Wife thinks I have too many weapons and need to get rid of some to make our kids safer and also because she thinks having that many weapons send the wrong message to her kids. Everything is safely stored, so there's no real concern. I don't see a compromise, so maybe it's easier to try to get her to overcome the fear.

Yeah. I'm pretty anti-gun and assorted weaponry, but dude is basically a walking best-case scenario. I mean, just kill the first kid who tries to get in to the room unescorted. They got two back ups anyway.

Props on him for keeping the guns in safes, but maybe have the rest of the stuff in something more secure than 'behind a locked door'. poo poo happens, he might forget to lock the door or a kid might snag the key while he's asleep.

No, I think a locked door is plenty good. And like I said, any kid tries to get in unescorted, kill them.

nah, a locked door seems more than adequate for blades, I don't think most people bother to secure kitchen knives or camping hatchets/machetes using anything other than a high counter or shelf

I have no mouth and I must post
My girlfriend (24F) is convinced that I’m (24M) gay even though I’m straight. She’s being very pushy and weird.

quote:

I’ve been dating my girlfriend for almost two years now but this issue didn’t come up until recently. Basically she’s convinced that I’m in the closet even though I have never done anything to make her believe that. I’m 100% straight and it’s not like this was ever up for debate. It’s the very first time someone I’m dating, or anyone for that matter, has made this assumption. The reason she’s suddenly so sure I’m gay is this. Recently this new guy joined our friend circle. We’re about 9 people now, girls and guys. I thought he was a pretty alright dude and we got along. My female friends all swoon over him and think he’s “ridiculously handsome”. They all flirted with him pretty heavily until one day they found out he’s gay and they were all devastated. Of course I didn’t think anything of it and we continued to be friends. He knew that I’m straight but one day he confessed that he’s very attracted to me. I simply told him that I’m flattered but that was it. (Later that evening he drunkenly texted me that he often fantasizes about me. It was definitely awkward but I just attributed that slip up to his drunkenness. He apologized the next morning. We never spoke about this incident again and moved on.)

I didn’t tell my gf about this and I definitely won’t now. Last week she told me that this guy is ‘clearly’ attracted to me and that it’s ‘kinda hot’. She said she had a feeling that I’m gay because according to her most big muscular guys are deep in the closet. And she said both girls and guys check me out so that means I give off ‘gay vibes’(honestly, I don’t catch anyone checking me out). She jokingly added that she’d love to watch me have sex with him. It was just a joke but it still freaked me out.

Her friends won’t stop either. They’re convinced that there’s “sexual tension” between me and the dude and that he always checks me out. They have made some very dirty jokes while we were all hanging out and it’s awkward as hell if I’m honest. I just ignore it because it’s immature and he doesn’t look bothered either. As a result of this I have started spending less time with the group overall. Her friend (who’s somewhat of a poo poo stirrer) encouraged me to start dating him because otherwise it’s “homophobic”. Her words were “I would have sex with a hot girl. That doesn’t mean I’m not straight. You two would be so cute together”.

The entire situation is annoying and I have told my gf that I don’t find it amusing. She won’t listen to me and still makes these stupid comments. She texts him as well and is unusually secretive about it. I don’t want to break up over something as stupid as this but she’s really pushing me over the edge now. What should I do?

TL;DR Good looking gay dude recently joined our friend circle. My gf suddenly thinks I’m gay because he’s attracted to me and her female friends agree. She knows I’m straight and I don’t understand why she’s pushing this idea so hard. It’s getting on my nerves now but I don’t know how to handle the situation.
