I don't generally mind it too much. I really enjoyed Psych and Monk back in the day. Never watched The Mentalist or whatever, but the idea didn't bother me.

Though there's one that does. Dad leaves the TV on a specific channel and one called Unforgettable plays sometimes. I find that character very obnoxious over her perfect memory, and the writing and acting aren't great. So, it's kinda soured me on the idea a bit.

So what happened to your dad? Did they get arrested or anything as it sounds like they should have been.

@Mistere_Man
Nope. The time he actually tried to kill me I called 911. He tackled me and smashed the phone, and tried to beat me to death.

There was an issue when we'd call for emergency services with our landline that they'd go to the wrong address. So that happened again, but fortunately it was family that lived there and knew of the issue and told the cops to come to our address. So, it took them a long time to actually arrive.

By the time they did get there dad had come to his senses and didn't want to be caught red handed. So he was just cursing and insulting me when they arrived. Despite seeing me totally bloodied up and hurt, he convinced them that I was the aggressor and they kicked me out.

Me and mom went straight to the Magistrate's office, and they were furious at the responding officers. They filed a protective order against my dad, and sent cops to remove him from the property so I could go home. Then, when they arrived to remove him he was watching porn he'd rented off the TV. >_>

I still stayed at my grandma's for a couple days because I didn't trust him not to break in a murder me in my sleep. But I eventually went home, and he'd been guilt tripping mom. Instead of staying with his family, he'd chosen to sleep in his car alongside the road and was crying about being cold, scared, and hungry. So she let him come back.

That was the last time he physically violent to me, but he doubled down on the emotional and verbal abuse. That was like 17 years ago or so. So it's been a while.

JFC dude. I remember you saying that your dad was an abusive asshole, but I don't think I've ever seen any details. I'm so sorry you had to go through all of that

Eh, it is what it is.

Yes. My dad is psycho. He used to interrogate me and mom if we went any where together. Like if we went to the grocery store and it took longer than he thought it should he'd be waiting at the door with a gun. He'd hold me against the wall threatening to kill me if he didn't like my answers. Then he'd ask me where we were, why it took longer than it should have, who we saw and spoke to, what was said, etc.

He ended up lining up bullets near the door with our initials on them. So we'd see them on the way out. He always told me that it was just a matter of time till he used mine on me.

Years later he did end up trying to kill me. He was trying to load the gun shouting about how I was dead. That he was going to blow my head off, and I have no doubts that he would have. Mom distracted him and then we ended up fighting the gun away from him. But yeah.

He did shoot at my feet a few times. Imitating the old westerns where they'd shout "dance" and shoot at their feet to make them panic. That didn't pay off for him since I just ignored him. All I was thinking was "go ahead and shoot me, and I'll finally have you in prison where you belong."

That happened at the hotel I work at. It's the main hotel and a cheaper motel next door. Both owned and operated by the same people and sharing staff between both.

Well, my manager was running the desk at the motel, while my other coworker was at the desk of the hotel. Someone comes in and tries checking in with my manager's driver licence and credit card. My coworker went ahead and sent them to a room then called next door and my manager's purse had been swiped when she wasn't looking. The lady got arrested, but I can't imagine how ballsy even that would be. Let so be recording yourself doing it. People are crazy.

Idk why he had to be stripped down like that. Also, yes, in this particular story and situation he is right.

It was nice to see Sunspot finally be useful for once. I wanted to like him from the start, but he's been totally useless. It especially showed in episode 4.

Anyway, it was great to see Magneto rock Bastion's world. I hope Charles isn't too preachy about peace in the next episodes.

Not really. I do have a lot of positive traits, they just don't add up to anything worthwhile.

Like, I'm kind, considerate, helpful and put others ahead of myself. But that just gets me used by people who know they can manipulate me.

Then I have stuff like being shy, quiet, and reserved which makes the people who aren't manipulating me feel like I need to be protected.

Then of course all the overwhelming negative stuff like self loathing and poor self esteem, low confidence, mental health struggles, etc...

No, I'm a mess and there's a reason I'm single.

This question frustrates me. I say no, tons of others say yes. Then sometimes, I see it myself, before not seeing it at all for years on end. So, idk... I want to say yes, but I can't.

Maximus was my least favorite character. Everything he did was just so dumb. The way he talked and behaved was off too. His whole character was just a weird sort of incompetence and stupidity. It really felt like he truly didn't understand the situations he found himself in. I saw it suggested that he's possibly supposed to have some sort of mental disability, and watching his actions with that in mind made much more sense. It was the only way I found him tolerable.

If it turns out that he's really just a dumb guy, with anger issues, then I feel he's the worst character in the whole show.

"What'd you expect, black leather?"

Damn lmfao

That was unexpected and made me chuckle. Also, looks like Sunspot might actually do something for once.

Yeah. I used to think I just wanted to be a better version of myself, but I realized a couple of years ago that's not the case. I do think I'd rather just be someone else.

6'
And never dated.

Not really. Thought I had grown to accept it, but it hit me again recently and I'm back to being unhappy about it.

Doubt I'll be remembered for anything good.

Ah ok. Thanks.

X-Men shower thought here, but... could Rogue touch Apocalypse to steal his power, then revive Gambit as her own horseman?

Yeah, plenty of times. I got ours if matches and not thing beyond that.

Sip Ad Er!
That's what I shout when one gets near me and I'm dashing out of the room.

wtf lol

Dots.

Hate to see you go, you've always been a pretty great poster here. Best wishes though.

Happy birthday!

I think my sneezes are a bit louder than average, but not super loud. My dad fits more of what I think is a forced loud sneeze. He mixes his sneezes with a shout. He also adds a bit at the end. His sneezes are like Ah Shoo BAAAA! The whole thing is loud, but his Ba at the end is always just him shouting.

Same with his yawns. It used to be the normal "awww" sound. Now it's *deep breath* "AHHHHH OH!" and it hurts my ears for how loud he does it. Frankly, it kinda pisses me off as he keeps doing it louder and louder every time. It's just a yawn dude, it's a deep breath, it doesn't have to blow the walls down.

God stubs his toe, stumbles, and steps on it.

That sure is a good looking pool.

The space stuff kinda dragged it down for me. Less space, more Storm/Forge please.

It was a Wingull in Ruby.

I'm into episode 6 now and looking at Maximus as someone with stunted understanding helps make him more tolerable.

Still not exactly likable, but easier to accept the things he does and says.

You are.

I'm only in episode 4 and Lucy is the only main character I like. Maximus is my least favorite. Ghoul guy just seems so mean spirited that I can't like him, but I'm sure he'll get a redemption by the end and make up for it. I don't get that feeling about Maximus.

Also, what up with him constantly being hit in the nose? Seems like every episode he's getting it busted at least once.

I like exCEdus.

CExodus.

Nothing good, I'm sure.

My brother has a step son. I call him Stephew, but that side of my brother's family isn't really involved with us. So he's really just done guy to me.

Or they are but they leave Earth on read because we aren't.

That would mostly be true if I didn't live really close to the border between Virginia and West Virginia. The closest mall is across the state line, and we usually go check it out around Christmas.

Only been out of the state for special reasons outside of that. Like when my dad's aneurysm ruptured and he was flown to a heart specialist in Tennessee and I went with Mom in case he didn't make it.
