    The Matrix Glitched when she Suddenly Spoke their Language

    She studied Chinese for 10+ years and currently lives in Japan. I think she's also trying to learn Korean as well, but is still pretty rough. Some people just pick up languages really easily. I had a girlfriend that spoke fluent Korean, Mandarin, conversational Japanese and was learning...

    Falling out with best friends...

    I haven't really had a falling out with close friends since maybe High School? Most of the close friends I had in the past slowly get downgraded to be replaced by new closer friends. The formerly close friends get downgraded to friends and maybe even positive acquaintances. I've had the...

    Social Do you like camping?

    Like others have mentioned I personally classify camping in 3 groups: Glamping - Running water and toilet Campsite - Sleeping in a tent with a place to shower and use the bathroom Backcountry - Carrying your water and bringing a Shit Shovel I've done all 3, but the older I get the more I...

    How stressful is your job?

    Currently it's about a 4, but it's gotten better as I've been able to better prioritize which things are actual fire drills and what can wait until later. When I first started 4 years ago, it was closer to a 6-7. When I worked in Silicon Valley, it was probably an 8-9 so I'm loving life now.

    I'm convinced that Whole Foods Pizza is not for Men

    I think you got unlucky with the selection, I was there pretty recently and they had pepperoni and pepperoni & sausage. It's overpriced now ($4-$5 a slice), but it's actually pretty tasty.

    Should I get a place with my girl and her kid?

    4 months dating sounds way too short to deal with the likely aggravation of breaking up and moving out with a GF. Throw a kid into the mix and you can really unintentionally mess up the kid. Even though you think the kid won't remember you, they very will likely remember you and they'll...

    Ppl Who Live in the Desert

    I've noticed a difference between 110 Vegas and 120 Death Valley. At 120 the air smelled like it was burning while 110 was just uncomfortably hot.

    Social TV Etiquette?

    You'll get used to it after a while. As long as you can take in the entire screen without having to swivel your head, it's not too big.

    Most disappointing theater experience?

    For me they're films that I had good expectations going into that seriously let me down. Avatar the M Night Shyamalan version and Highlander Endgame come to mind.

    Friends' Sisters

    If you're looking for a hookup or fling, I'd stay away. If you have serious intentions on dating the girl, I would just talk to your friend and ask if he'd be okay with it. Nobody wants to hear about their sister getting railed, but if you're a good guy and are looking to treat her right in a...

    Social Abnbs suck

    ++ I usually prefer hotels unless I'm travelling in a large group, then we look for a large place usually on VRBO. Factoring in the obnoxious cleaning fees, for short stays I much prefer hotels. The wife values cleanliness highly, and if you do your research, you can usually find which hotels...

    Greatest TV series finale ever

    I've watched about 2/3 of the shows on the list and Six Feet Under by far. After watching the ending it almost brings you a sense of peace and completeness. Not only that but the music was amazing, and it basically launched Sia's career. It's basically as close to a perfect ending as is possible.

    Social Home Cameras & Doorbell

    I use Ring, but all 3 are probably fine for doorbell cameras. Wyze products are really cost effective, but they have security issues in the past(easily hacked). Ring is owned by Amazon and they often cooperate with the police if you're worried about that. However, Ring cameras in my...

    Social Do you know much about or care about Ireland?

    I'm an ignorant American, but when I think of Ireland these come to mind: Drunk Bostonians claiming Irish heritage Gingers/Redheads Potatoes Whiskey Data Centers/Tax Havens Oh yeah, and this is hilarious

    Movies FANTASTIC FOUR (Julia Garner to Play Silver Surfer, post #685)

    I agree Driver doesn't look the part of Reed, but he definitely has the acting chops

    Movies Highlander (1986) is an underated movie

    In the TV show they talk about a legend where two immortals fought on holy ground and Mt. Vesuvius blew up burying Pompeii. In Highlander 4 the bad guy straight up murders people on holy ground so there's another inconsistency. The real reason is to advance the plot. Letting enemy immortals...

    Movies Which is better: Batman Begins vs Iron Man

    Everyone's opinion is valid, but Iron Man is better IMO. Tony Stark is a much more interesting character than Bruce Wayne. Bruce Wayne is basically a one note character while Tony is much more complex. I also think that Bale's Batman is 3rd place next to the Animated Batman and maybe Keaton's...

    Are you for or against electric vehicles?

    We're a 2 car family, so we're considering a EV for our next car. Most of the negative points about EV's are valid, but I think overblown. Some other points to consider I believe most Cobalt comes from Congo, and China is trying to control the Supply chain. That being said, Tesla is...

    Out of these so called unbreakable records - Which is the 3 most impressive records?

    Even though it's one of the least impressive on the list, I doubt Cy Young's will ever get broken because Baseball has changed so much. Now a days, you're lucky if a pitcher goes 6 innings, and I don't see anything that will reverse that trend.
