Barney, marshal and lilly all get almost nothing to wrap their stuff up either. Edit: loving lovely snipe, have a weird and kinda gross one I found. AITA my husband doesn't want to make his own coffee in the morning quote:My husband wakes up for work at 6:15 am and has to leave the house at 6:40 am to make it to work for 7. He goes outside as soon as he wakes up for a smoke and to drink a cup of coffee. He then goes to work and drinks several cups of coffee at work throught the day. I stay home with our toddler and take her with me to house/cottage cleaning jobs a couple times per week. I don't like coffee myself, but microwaving day old coffee sounds gross as hell.

I'd load it up with milk and sugar so I wasn't really tasting anything else. I feel like it was a pretty common practice before we all started caring about coffee. Maybe it still is.

AITA for not helping a child stuck in a swing?quote:I (25F) took my son (2) to a playground at a local park today. We were the only ones there for about 20 minutes before this family of 3 kids (2 girls and one boy) and an adult pull up. I don't think she was their parent, as the kids kept calling her by her first name (We'll just call her Katie for this story). The boy had to be between 10-12 and was a relatively heavyset kid.

Chewbecca posted:I worded poorly. It makes logical sense I guess from a narrative perspective, but in terms of a show's ending it was an unpleasant ending for an unpleasant and narcissistic person. I get it but I didn't enjoy watching a main character be extra lovely and not deliver on any of the earlier promise they displayed. . ehhh the show was originally intended to end that way and if you watch it with that in mind it’s a much, much better experience. in the later seasons Amy Sherman-Palladino wasn’t writing it anymore and Rory turned into an ultra Mary Sue. I mean…you want to talk about an illogical ending, please recall that the original show ended with the entire town giving Rory an enormous going away party and talking about how great and perfect she is, and she’s going to be a political reporter on Obama’s campaign trail and Change the World~~~~ it’s like a completely different show to the first several seasons where she dates a couple of delinquents, struggles socially and has actual conflicts, however minor. the broad strokes of the ending of the reunion miniseries jibes well with the earlier show, and the sheer acerbity of it is pretty understandable as ASP returned to write it and the show runners that took over in her absence obviously missed the point in a huge way. like rory spent much of the last season running around with a billionaire trust fund kid adventure club, an authorial clapback was kind of deserved imo

In the first season, all of the characters were incredible fuckup losers and it owned. But then all of the sudden they become the personification of Tumblr and omg they're so perfect and amazing and everyone loves them and

I had been intending to rewatch How I Met Your Mother because I trailed off after season 3 or 4 or something, so initially I was pretty annoyed that it just got spoiled in this thread, but then reading through the posts I think they were actually a public service alerting me to not waste my time rewatching out of some sense of needing to complete the series. Also who the gently caress hasn't watched Ban(ne)d of Brothers, your probes are more than deserved. gently caress it's been maybe a decade, I should watch it again.

The implication of a spoiler is that it would have been good, but it has been spoiled whereas HIMYM was pretty fuckin' bad for a pretty fuckin' long time. Much like the final couple seasons of GOT lurching forward due to sheer inertia despite 100% of the audience and cast being upset about how bad it was

Halloween Jack posted:I am a little surprised at the number of anecdotes I've heard where someone is like "I have an idea. You should make a website that's like Facebook but better. We split the profits 50/50 because it was my idea." A lot of people just don't get that "an idea" is worthless. I've seen this a lot in gaming circles, where someone talks about contacting a game developer to sell them an idea for a game, which is just a one-page description of what a game would be like. Anyone actually designing a game has had dozens or hundreds of vague game ideas before, they don't need to pay some rando on the internet for them.

Barney, marshal and lilly all get almost nothing to wrap their stuff up either. I do this for my partner; we use whole beans & do some variation of pourover/french press/moka pot so it takes an extra bit of time out of the morning to make it, and she's perfectly happy to pull leftover coffee out of the fridge and start the day with iced coffee. If you have the time to make coffee and it helps your SO out, and they aren't picky about wanting it fresh and hot etc then like, just make the drat coffee. It's such an easy thing. I make it even easier & measured out a cheapo bag of french roast so I can just make a big batch of cold brew in our giant french press and stick it in a flip-top bottle in the fridge, problem solved.

Rockman Reserve posted:ehhh the show was originally intended to end that way and It's interesting to know about the changes in writers and how that impacted the narrative arc, I didn't know any of that. I was just stuck watching it because of a BB teenager in the house. I definitely didn't like how Rory was valorised in the show like she was so special and so amazing, all felt very obnoxious. That town was pretty though, if I ever came back to America I'd want to see it in person, assuming it exists

I love Gilmore Girls and watch it every year but the rich school kids she gets in with are infuriating. Logan isn't too horrible, but all his friends should die. Like when she goes to that secret society campout and they're all being condescending dorks, I want to force everyone there get a job in retail for a year and then swirlie them to death. I really really love when Jess pops back up in a later season and is like Rory wtf is wrong with you. And it doesn't hurt that's he's fine as fuuuuuck

As the senior officer, Winters was saluted by the soldier walking along with Sobel, who returns the salute as Sobel turns his head away. That's a 'not cool' thing to do in the military. AITA for not saluting my senior officer when he saluted me first??

A big one if I remember right was that Blithe did get shot in the neck while point man on a patrol, but didn't die c.1948 like it said in the series, but recovered and went on to be a badass in Korea. I remember seeing a documentary where Winters talked about it. deported to Canada fucked around with this message at 23:59 on May 14, 2024 |

PetraCore posted:Man, this was an unpleasant read. Honestly it sounds like Charlotte/Kelly has been through hell, has behavioral issues from that, and the adults in her life are handling it super poorly. The second OP has absolutely resented her from the start, and is thus inclined to frame everything as her being a terrible person, but the first OP also sounds like he handled things poorly because while it's admirable he was determined to get his niece out of a bad situation, it sounds like he tried to do it by just kind of slipping her into the family without caring what his wife thought, and Charlotelly's understandable behavioral issues and need for extra attention turned his daughter into a glass child who feels like her dad just looks right through her. I trust OP 2's recounting of things less because she's really eager to paint a kid really poorly, but even with that in mind she never wanted to be a parental figure to this kid and the fact she felt cornered into that position has just made everything a lot worse. I dunno, OP 1 is clearly trying his best. lovely situation for the wife for sure but I think they are working through it as best as they can. Agreed on the second OP tho
