Honestly, children just don't bring me joy. It's not just "oh, kids suck," but the idea of creating a life and watching it grow just does nothing for me on a fundamental soul level. Of course you sound like a villain if you say so out loud, but it's my truth.

No, in fact I've never been grounded. But then I never got into much trouble. At worst my parents would lock me OUT of my room and force me to socialize with the family.

I think it's when I made peace with things I cannot change, and started viewing happiness as a constant state of being instead of a to-do checklist. I'm 37 now and I'd say this really only took hold in the last 5 or 6 years.

I love Home Alone and watch it every year, but only saw part 2 for the first time a couple weeks ago. It was good, but the parts with the robbers went on waaay too long and were boring and unfunny. It just lacked the same kind of charm in way I couldn't quite put my finger on.

I haven't seen the new one but I thought the last one was surprisingly fun. And I say that as someone who didn't love the original.

Mr. Boogedy. Only recently did I remember this movie and look it up, only to find out it was actually made for Nickelodeon, lol.

My home computer automatically updated to 10 and it was just wrecked. I literally had to buy a new one, it was so unusable. Every other computer I've used with Windows 10 has been slow as shit, too, just for what it's worth.

I've always loved Laughing Fish, Almost Got Em, and Heart of Ice

These are all good choices. I don't remember the exact title of the episode but there was one where Poison Ivy made her own family that I thought was actually kind of sad.

Honestly all of them. From "Ok boomer" to discussions about social justice warriorism and privilege. I've always said these are just hot-button phrases we make up to outrage ourselves and pretend like anything that happens in the news or politics affects our daily lives one way or the other.

Its usually from some socially inept NEETs that cant handle the most minimal amount of human interaction possible. When they get greeted in store the mumble back "H-hi" and bury their face in the ground. After they pick out their pokemon game of choice and go to pay for it, they stare at the counter the entire transaction. When the guy at the register asks if they want to sign up for powerup rewards, they mumble and stammer again, prompting the guy to ask again because he couldnt understand. When they finally work up the courage to say an audible "no" the transaction can be completed and they can leave.

The whole time they are driving the Honda Civic home, they stew and get offended by the audacity that the jackass clerk had to try and up sell them and swindle them. They think about things that they could have said and done that would have been totally badass and really put him in his place (though they would never really act on these power fantasies). When they get home, the first thing they do is make a "Gamestop horror stories thread" where they explain about that shitty wage slave trying to pull a fast one, and how every time they go to gamestop they are constantly harassed from the moment they walk in the door.

At least thats how i see it

This made me laugh, but the objective fact is their up-selling truly is relentless. I don't go there for games (just action figures, mostly) and don't really have a reason to badmouth GameStop otherwise, but yeah, it's by far the worst I've ever seen and a huge turn-off.

I have never, ever received an item I pre-orded on Amazon on its release date, whether it be a game or book or whatever. As someone who only buys physical media I've always enjoyed waiting outside the store, waiting for it to open so I can run in and grab my new toy, so to speak, and this just kinda reinforces why.

Clairvoyant, paranormal enthusiast, author. Not a new age hipster, just a normal guy who sees stuff.

The paranormal is a very abstract thing to get on board with if you don't have any direct personal experience with it.But to eliminate the possibility just because YOU don't know is highly ignorant.

---

Clairvoyant, paranormal enthusiast, author. Not a new age hipster, just a normal guy who sees stuff.

I only saw it for the first time maybe five years ago. To call it "good" would be a stretch but I guess I didn't see why it's the joke everybody says it is, either.

Clairvoyant, paranormal enthusiast, author. Not a new age hipster, just a normal guy who sees stuff.

Not your scenario exactly, but spoilers have enticed me to pick up a game or watch a movie (mother! for one example) to begin with that I may not otherwise have been interested in, or maybe was on the line about.

Clairvoyant, paranormal enthusiast, author. Not a new age hipster, just a normal guy who sees stuff.

You can buy the complete series on DVD, but no, it hasn't come to bluray. But I believe Friends was released on bluray a year or two ago so you never know.

However the above poster may be correct, that streaming will be the way to go. As someone who still buys all my media physically - movies, TV, books, games, and even music - I find this very unfortunate. It's nice to "own" something.

Clairvoyant, paranormal enthusiast, author. Not a new age hipster, just a normal guy who sees stuff.

I was really hyped when it was announced...like two years ago. Honestly at this point I just assumed it had been canceled.

Clairvoyant, paranormal enthusiast, author. Not a new age hipster, just a normal guy who sees stuff.

I will do you one better and tell you I watch it home on bluray every other month or so. It's hilarious and well-written and I freakin' love it, and honestly have rather seen a sequel to that than whatever Disney after-school special the trailer dropped for a few days ago. I think everyone who hates the last movie - or pretends to, since half of them clearly never actually saw it - and is hyping this new one are in for a rude shock. I don't see how anyone who thought a female cast was a bad idea doesn't think an all-kid cast isn't an even worse one.

But, whatever. Pick your battles.

Minority opinion I'm sure, but I didn't even being to really like Coldplay until Viva la Vida, which is when most people were starting to lose interest, and Mylo Xyloto is probably my favorite record overall. Their early radio singles were decent, but man the full albums were snoozefests.

You ever see those dudes that are 6 feet tall and weigh 140? They barely eat. That's the trick, barely eat.

I'm 6'1 and about 135, lol. But I used to be pushing 200 and lost a bunch of weight by playing the Just Dance games on the Wii, and continue to do so almost daily on the Switch now. I didn't modify my diet a whole lot in terms of types of food, but admit that cancer was also in the mix a couple years ago and I never quite got my full appetite back after treatment, so it's overall been less food on top of being more physically active.

No, I was so bored out of my mind with an hour lunch that a few years ago they let me take 30 minutes instead.

My husband does this sometimes and it's annoying, but he will usually take them off if I remind him. I think I'm more prone to noticing or caring about these things because growing up shoes in the house was a BIG no-no and I would have to ask all my friends to do it.

Regardless of what I think of either one of them, I find it hard to believe any of their demographic overlaps.

I know that a couple have, because I've seen their obits. But I also still say hi to a few now and then.

I actually love this movie a lot and still watch it at home on bluray once or twice a year. I don't get why people pooped allover it; it was basically Austin Powers 4 and people love those.

My family always had Thanksgiving around 1 or 2 PM. I'm having it with the in-laws this year and don't even want us showing up until 3, which seems awfully late. Honestly that's about when I was hoping we'd be leaving, lol. (Or at least having round 2.)

It probably sounds like shallow reason to reject someone at first, but the impracticality of not having a car will eventually set in and breed annoyance and resentment. So at least be honest and lay it out there as an issue, see where the discussion goes.

Zero. Used to have Netflix but cancelled a year or two ago once they moved more and more toward originals that didn't catch my interest. Honestly, being a physical media kinda guy anyway, I prefer to just go buy a bluray once or twice a month if I want to see something. Same with music CDs, video games, etc.

Clairvoyant, paranormal enthusiast, author. Not a new age hipster, just a normal guy who sees stuff.

I don't know if shame is the right word here, but yeah, more people should definitely take the time to stop and think how their words and actions can affect others. The problem is most of this happens online through social media where they have the luxury of hiding behind a screen, so they never get to see any consequences firsthand. But even then, I don't know why it's so hard to still be decent and engage in thoughtful, mature conversation, even with people you disagree with. In fact, I've found the quickest way to get people to shut up is to remain calm and ask them to explain themselves. They just throw out a buzzword like "hater" and move on.

Yeah, they even stopped out the Muppet Show on DVD after season 3. I guess licensing got really messy.

Actually yes. Mortal Kombat Trilogy, Muppet Race Mania, and the movie-based Harry Potter games on PS1 were all bomb. Those load times though :(

Do you mind if I ask your age? I'm 37, and got three tattoos between the ages of about 18 and 25. "Regret" is a strong word, and though they are all very discrete I have to be honest and say I wouldn't get any of them again if given the choice. Definitely not trying to talk you out of it, but sometimes at my work I will overhear the young kids talk about how they want to get the Dark Mark from Harry Potter tattooed on them or something and I have to roll my eyes anyway, lol.

Isn't spaghetti with sauce pretty much the standard? I feel like meatballs is the exception more than the rule; I'm 37 and have had spaghetti with meatballs maybe twice in my life but the phrasing of this topic makes it sound like its weird to NOT have meatballs.

ikr? im trans and i swear trans allies care more about my life/situation than i do lol

So much this. I'm not trans, but I am gay, and I will be the first to roll my eyes at how much today's social justice warriorism has spun out of control. Frankly, I have never felt the need to be "represented" in every movie, show, or game, and pity those who feel like they need to let their sexuality define them or shoehorn it into every situation. There are so many things about me that are more interesting than who I sleep with.

When I was a teenager I got Prince William a lot, and the occasional Val Kilmer when he was thin, lol. But I don't think I look like either. And even though I'm a guy, sometimes from the right angle my face has similar bone structure to Madonna.
