  • Well it’s still JLo. If you aren’t much a fan you won’t be too impressed. Imo she can be fairly one directional in her movies.

    That said, when I watch a movie that has heavy CGI I try and take a step back throughout the movie from all the special effects and evaluate an actors performance.

    Ya ok sounds pretentious, but I try to imagine the environment they are in when acting. It’s basically nothing but a green box, with someone off to the side reading lines.

    If they can give a fairly believable performance I’m impressed, because we see all the special effects, editing, direction and production. The actor has to imagine it, and hope they don’t look like a dumbass in post.

    65 was alright. Wanted more dinosaurs though lol




  • I’m on the latter part of 30 and I’m in bumble and tinder. I decided to give myself a month on them and if nothing happens I’ll remove it. I’m not exactly on the prowl but I feel like I’ve given myself enough time to “work on myself” since my last relationship. So I’m testing the water. Also all my friends are all hitched or have kids, so there isn’t a lot of mutual single friends.

    It’s either, super model hot bot, or no thanks… There really isn’t an in-between. I understand that sounds shallow, but that’s been my experience. Then when you finally get matched no one actually makes conversation. Like I’m not going to sit here and try to drag a conversation out of you.

    You’re right too. The apps are also really only focused on just trying to get you to spend money, not getting you a match.

    Tinder for example says I have 20+ “matches” but I can’t see them unless I pay. And when I swipe it’s not like any of those people are put up front. You only get 20 likes and none of them will be the people that have “matched” with you.

    It’s also not cheap either. It’s like 20 dollars a month.

    Bumble is even worse.

    It’s a stark contrast from how it was several years ago.


  • It’s usually less that that too. Typically if you show you have got your license within the time of getting the ticket they let you go. If he just showed up and said he has an appointment or was going to make one, the judge would’ve made another date so that he could prove he got his license. Then no fine or jail.

    Happened to me. I was pulled over without a license. Immediately went and got my license. They made a date but the mailing address they sent to I wasn’t there. Being dumb I thought meant it was handled.

    Lo and behold like 10 years later, when I’m getting hired for my current job they say I have a bench warrant. I went down to the courthouse the next day, the judge gave me a real weird look since it’s been like 10 years, and said " do you have your license " I showed it to him, and then let me go.



  • I have wet as well. And you shouldn’t.

    You might be getting some, but you are pushing the majority back into your ear. It’s probably why you feel like you must keep cleaning them, because it’s never actually getting out. Eventually you’ll get a clogged ear, and if you haven’t experienced that yet, it fuckin sucks.

    Your ear will naturally push the earwax out. Think of your ear as a conveyor belt. When new skin is made it pushes the earwax down the ear canals.

    Best thing to do is wash and clean the outside of your ears well everyday. You can use a Q-tip for that. Listen to music at a reasonable level, wear ear protection at concerts, and try to give your ears a break from headphones and earphones periodically.

    If it’s really bothering you, get some hydrogen peroxide or ear wax remover and put it in your ear for like 10 minutes. Then use a hand bulb with warm water. Don’t do this all the time though.




  • You can be an introvert and be talkative, and you can be an extrovert and be shy.

    It’s all how you recharge your social battery.

    I consider myself to be an introvert, but I’m very talkative in social situations. Sometimes I can’t shut the fuck up. When I’m done hanging out though, I’m sitting in a dark room for a few days playing video games not hanging with anyone.

    I worked with a guy who drove 50 miles to come into the office just so he could be around people, but hardly said anything to anyone.


  • I’m 38 and I just achieved that goal.

    Don’t stress about this shit (too much).

    Go to concerts, take trips, eat your avocado toast. Indulge.

    You’re only young once, and everyone is poor in their 20’s. Unless you’re lucky or it’s given to you.

    It sounds trite, but success will come. However you measure it.
