I mean, what’s something you can do that people are like, “really? You know how to do that?”

predicting the future.
it’s not like the movies, it’s more like being tied to the train tracks in the direction the train is coming in, and people hate it when you talk about it.
I never forget a face
I never forget a face but damn if I can remember their name. Drives my wife nuts, when she asks me who that was
I’m a father living in Japan, so any competent display of childcare is still met with shock and confusion.
This is very interesting, could you please elaborate a bit? Are fathers not involved in parenting in traditional Japanese culture?
I believe the father is still considered the breadwinner role.

The files are originally from the private tracker I was part of that folded due to personal reasons of the admin/mod of the tracker. Some kind soul decided to archive and reshare the files. I am currently in the progress of downloading and then seeding it long term with high(er) speed. The show has 10 episodes in total (source) and I have all 10 but uploading to my seedbox is slow. I will update the torrent/magnet sometime tomorrow evening (MESZ)Edit 2: Updated with my personal files I acquired :)
Sweet! Thank you kind stranger 🙏
Updated with the remaining files
What sort of things would be considered unusual childcare wise?
Have an intelligent discussion about theology.
I may look like your average idiot who is also atheist; but it’s because I have a weird interest in theology and have read so many religious texts and interpretations of most major and some minor religions from around the globe. Some of them have some kick ass stories. Hell, some of them read like straight up sci-fi!
[L Ron Hubbard’s estate wants to know your location]
Oddly enough, I haven’t actually read Dianetics or any of his other sci-fi prior to going after “the real money in religion” for that matter.
I kinda get the impression that Scientology is the one cult that using their own doctrine against them wouldn’t quite have the same effect.
I found “Battlefield Earth” surprisingly good.
Uhhh, strong or agnostic atheism? And what’s your take on Buddhism?
I have found that atheists know more about religion than the typical believer.
I can cook a decent meal. I though it was a basic skill bottom of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs etc. But almost everyone I know buys take away or makes the most basic of basic food.
I’m learning this about young folk (17 - 40) - that they don’t cook at all, just order delivery food. That is so unbelievably expensive! And unhealthy! I know cooking is a pain in the ass, but it’s like cleaning and paying your bills - just something you gotta do.
It infuriates me. People dropping half my weekly food budget on 1 meal just so some underpaid bastard can deliver it to ur door. Then they complain about cost of living. I would spend about a quarter as much as what most people I know do on food per week and I’m eating like a fucking king prime cuts of steek 3 times a week, fresh fruit and veg, the fancy bread, etc. And I’m still winning economically. And we haven’t even got to the health benefits of not eating fake shit full of sugar 7days a week.
Woah. I have some thoughts .
All my kids can cook, and all their significant others can cook. I never thought of it as a pain though, more a creative outlet, and whoever cooks gets to eat what they want, right? I make what I want, everyone else eats that.
One of my brothers went to school in New Orleans and told me he just ate out every meal there. And my mom only followed written recipes or made spaghetti, she didn’t like to cook.
Oh and when I was dating my now husband, one of his kids asked for “mashed potatoes made from potatoes” for his birthday. But he can cook now, his girlfriend has an Italian dad and his standards are high, lol. So both he & the girlfriend are good cooks now.
My ex, he was the worst cook I have ever known, but learned at work and became a very good cook as an adult. Like exceptionally good, could take the produce that was going to be thrown out and make it into something customers would pay a lot for.
Cooking. IDK why but everyone assumes I don’t know how to cook. I must fit a stereotype or something. The last time I lived alone I cooked (or had leftovers of something I cooked) every night for like 8 months. I tell people that and they are always surprised. It’s a big reason I hate living with roommates because the kitchen situation is so chaotic I can’t really do that anymore.
Same, and especially baking bread, which people seem to think is an involved, laborious process that requires dedication and being obsessed. I learned it on youtube lol. Making a loaf of really good bread takes like 10 minutes of actual work; the rest of the time it’s making itself.
I can click my tongue really, really loud. Like a baseball hitting a bat hard. Aside from making people jump, I have yet to find any practical use for this talent.
Learn how to echolocate!
Lol I thought you meant eat chocolate.
I’m really good at hating myself.
As I found out recently, drawing.
I took some classes in high school and only recently got back into it, and I’d consider myself…averageish? I know where I need improvements and I see the quirks and wonks, so to speak.
The people in my adult life who have seen my sketchbook make (positive) comments, which surprised me. Still, it’s nice.
Drawing has always been super impressive to me. I pretty much gave it up in high school, but my husband is an incredible artist and I just always appreciate seeing what other people do. It seems like it’s hella zen when you get into it. Awesome skill :)
I can put a needle in any body cavity (of someone else). Or a wire or a catheter. Besides the skull and a few more delicate ones I also know how to do that without actually killing the person. Well,at least not “certainly” killing… accidents happen.
I’m a tall burly cisman so people are always surprised that I know how to sew. I mostly hand-mend my clothes but I made my own pants in high school when I had access to a sewing machine.
Sewing fellas unite!
I usually make hats and tool wraps, but I mend dresses or alter clothes for friends too.
“Sewing is girly”
Meanwhile boy scouts, military, and doctors sewing stuff all day long.
Hand-sewing is my “something to occupy my hands while watching tv” hobby. I usually take shirts that I buy at a thrift store and customize them (side panels to make them fit better, add lacy pieces, etc.).
I can sew, although I kind of hate it. Sewing is an essential skill if you own a sailboat and have no money.
“own a sailboat and have no money” that’s a redundant statement :]
I think that would be antithetical, or paradoxical. Redundant means superfluous (=more than is necessary)
Yes, that’s why saying “redundant” is a humorous way to imply that sailboats suck up all your money.
See the common conception of boat owners is that they’re rich. And they certainly might start out that way. But a boat is a hole in the ocean into which money is thrown, and thus boat owners quickly become not rich
oooooohhh, I get it. Indeed
I’ve heard that boat owners are happy on two days. The day they buy it, and the day they sell it.
sewing is mine also. I don’t think I’ve talked to a single person in the 15 years I’ve been sewing that hasn’t reacted with shock to some degree or another upon finding out.
i like repairing clothes and making backpacks.
Sewing seems like a good hobby for anybody who likes to work with their hands. In my 20s my housemate let me borrow her sewing machine to put together a thinsulate jacket from a Frostline kit. It was a blast, but that was the last sewing I ever did.
I can drill 6" into my nose, among other sideshow talents.
Don’t feel obligated to elaborate, but I’d love it if you would! That sounds super intriguing
It’s an act called human blockhead, but I do it with a Milwaukee power drill. I used to be a lot more active as a sideshow performer so I can do a lot of weird stuff. I also invented two fire eating moves.
Pretty much anything DIY. Plumbing, electrical, carpentry, etc. I’m not an expert at any of those things but I can actually do a pretty decent job. I’m not afraid to research a project and take a crack at it myself. I’ve completed some really nasty projects that turned out well.
Jack of all trades! After partly renovating three different houses successfully, I find myself in the same situation as you.
Same as this but I can see any process 1x and adapt it to serve me.
Somehow, it’s a surprise to people that I’m a competent trumpet player. As if every high school in the state doesn’t have a band class. Fully half of my graduating class in high school were musicians of some kind between chorus, orchestra and band classes. But somehow nobody expects a random dude in his mid-30’s to pick up a trumpet and play a few bars of Ravel’s Bolero.
After loosing some of my hearing and not being able to compose electronic music anymore, I basically retired from being a musician. Picked up drumming about 9 months ago and I’m surprisingly good at it.
Oh hell yeah! I’ve been drumming for 20 years, it’s the best instrument out there. Enjoy, it’s hella fun!
Cheers. It’s really great and lots of fun. Already recording an album for a German band in the studio thanks to some amazing teachers out there.
