I was excited to see Life (2017) after seeing the first teaser, big fan of all the actors involved & when I finally saw the movie, I really enjoyed it. It was very creepy, scary, intense, suspenseful & >!The Calvin creature was really brutal with it's kills!< but one thing that was spoiled for me beforehand was >!that Ryan Reynolds' character is killed very early in the film, !<that probably would've been a good shock if I didn't know that beforehand but there were some videos on YouTube with that spoiler in their thumbnails not that long after the movie came out & I saw them. I really hate when people do that with their thumbnails.
But anyway, I remember when this film was announced, there were some thought that it would be a prequel to >!the first Venom movie!< & while I could see it, I'm glad it wasn't. >!I love that character & those comics !<but I think this works well on it's own. The ending of this film did leave me speechless though lol, they really got me there, I did not see that coming. I honestly wouldn't mind a sequel just to see where this goes, >!to see if Gyllenhaal's character was still in one piece or if anyone was able to get to Ferguson's character. It really wasn't looking too good for the world there lol.!< Any fans of this film? What did you think of it and the performances? Did the ending catch you offguard? Would you like a sequel to see what happens next, to see if >!we're all really screwed lol!< or do you think it's good enough as just one film?
I worked for a wealthy family. They had two children and they’d pay me 25$/h +gas +food while there. During the summer we did not have set times I’d work. All I had to do was work off 20h per week. Sometimes that was a single day, sometimes it was every day of the week for 3h.
One Friday, the dad told me Monday they would most likely need me at around 1p.m but he was unsure and had to double-check with his wife and would text me. Monday rolls around and I forgot he had told me I needed to receive a text. When they did not call or text I always showed up at 5p.m according to set schedule. At 12:55 the dad calls me asking if I am going to be late.
Me:Oh, but I thought I should come at 5 since I never got a confirmation.
Him:No I need you right now.
Me:I need 25minutes and I’d be there, I am so sorry for the misunderstanding.
Him: This is not a misunderstanding, these are my children.
Me:I’m sorry I must’ve understood wrong what we spoke about on Friday. Do you want me to come now at 1:30?
Him:No(hangs up)
I texted him offering to come at 5p.m and his reply was ‘no, you’d be useless’.
He calls me again at 5:10p.m.
Him:Where are you? Are you actually not gonna show up twice in a day?
Me:Huh, what? But you said you do not need me today?
Him:Show some proactiveness! Try to show us you actually care for our children!
Me:Sir, I cannot randomly show up at your house unless you’ve asked me to. I don’t think I am in the wrong here. That’s unfair.
Him:I’ll tell you what’s unfair the crap service we are receiving from you and the crazy money I am willing to pay you! You shouldn’t be allowed to take care of plants let alone children. Grow up because with this attitude you’d be lucky to graduate college, darling. I can call you out on the ‘bitch’ you are and you should smile and nod.
Me: Okay I quit. Consider this my two week notice. I won’t be dragged down like this for any amount of money.
Next day I am supposed to 2p.m and there is a new replacement I need to train. At 1p.m I get a long letter delivered where I am being fired and my pay for the next two weeks would be 5$ due to child endangerment. I text them, since I am fired I do not need to work off those two weeks and would not be coming in.
I turned off my phone and when I finally picked up the dad exploded and called me an a-hole, telling me that because of me they had to cancel a very important business trip to take care of their children (which both had a severe breakdown when they found out I

Basically, I was going to a concert with my husband and I needed to hire a babysitter for my 7yo (who is well behaved, generally quiet/reserved, and polite). We have been told by all her teachers and babysitters in the past that took care of her said she was the easiest job ever. Our usual, very trusted 22 yo babysitter had plans, but she recommended this other girl who was 15 and was really great with kids. From now on let's call this girl Anna.
We offered Anna the same rates (14.50/hr which is really good around here) we gave our usual (7 years older) babysitter and she accepted. We told her we would be gone from 8PM-10PM. This means she would just have to occupy our daughter until her 8:30 bedtime. When we asked her, she told us she had no plans that night.
It came the day, and my husband and I ate dinner with our daughter, introduced her to Anna, and said goodbye. By 9:30 the concert was over, and we started to head back to our house, expecting to be back a few minutes early. However, there was an accident ahead of us on the way back and we got stuck in a traffic jam. Once it became clear (about 9:45) we wouldn't be back by 10:00, we immediatley called Anna, who picked up.
We told her that we would be about 10 minutes late because we got stuck in a traffic jam. She got super mad right away and started insisting that she should get another hour's pay ($14.50 extra dollars). We said that it seemed a bit ridiculous because it was only 10 minutes. She started ranting about expecting us back by 10 and us not warning her in advance. We apologized and asked if our daughter had woken up and bothered her at any point past her bedtime. She reluctantly said no, and we pointed out that she wasn't even watching our kid at this point. She still was fuming and we offered that if she really wanted, we could give her the equivalent for 10 minutes of her hourly wage (about $2.40). She denied, insisting that we give her an additional $14.50.
We arrived home and the house was empty. No Anna. We rushed to our daughters room, who was thankfully asleep and okay. We immediately texted Anna and she replied "I left at 10:00 like you said you wanted me to," and then asked us to venmo her the pay. We refused, seeing as she abandoned our daughter. We invited her to our house the next day so we could talk to her and pay her. She denied and we didn't pay her.
AITA for not paying her? I feel bad about it.
Extra notes:
She only interacted our daughter for 30 minutes.

Tonight was my wedding anniversary. My husband and I never get to go out alone. EVER. last year we hired the neighbors (also landlady's) daughter to babysit our 3 kids. She did great. They loved her and we felt safe leaving. So we hired her again this year. We were gone for 3 hours and came home to her boyfriend in our house. My husband thinks it's all cool but I was pissed and I said so as nicely as I could force myself to. I don't know anything about this guy never seen him before and he was in my home around my kids without us knowing. She said she couldn't handle the kids and needed help and he'd not been here long but .... Just no! My husband is mad at me for being mad at her. She could have called us and said hey I can't handle this can you come home. But she didn't. When I checked in while on our date she said everything was fine. I told my husband I won't hire her again.
Am I the asshole?
We have never really limited our sons screen time. He's always done a good job of balancing playing and watching. I have noticed that the balance has been changing as he's been getting older. He spends more time in a zombie like state just staring at the screen. He was harder to put to bed and had a worse attitude. This past Monday I made the decision that it needed to stop. I came up with lots of crafting ideas and bought a new Lego City set. There were a couple of times where he was a total turd but all in all it wasn't so bad. I've heard more laughter in the past 4 days then I have heard in the past 4 weeks. What's great is that I am no longer a zombie staring at my own screen. I know we're all tired and we're all stressed but we have to make the right decisions for our kids and ourselves. I know that all kids are different and all kids are different but this was a game changer for my family.
Will I ever put myself out there again? Probably not. Why is dating so horrible

Tell us what you think of it!
I’m legitimately traumatized. I can’t stop thinking about it. The more I do, the more I love it. It’s ambition and thinking are huge. It’s engrossing. It made me so fucking mad and anxious I wanted to kill something. It’s one of the more effective movies I’ve ever seen. An enigma.
I didn’t turn it off because I wanted/needed the catharsis of a good climax. I needed the pressure to be relieved. Im not sure it delivered that, instead it’s climaxed reshaped my perception of the entire journey that came before it. I was still stressed, but also motivated. This surreal nightmare echo’d a truth about the world that made me want to be better. What more can you ask of art?
I don’t know if I’ve ever seen another movie that made me feel anything close to the same way. Do you have any suggestions? It might take me a couple weeks to build up the strength to watch it, but i really want to be able to find another experience like this.
Throughout my time abroad, I was only paired with companions that were lazy, completely disengaged, or did not give a damn about mission rules. I was giving my best effort to teach and do good, to be obedient and Christlike. To be a "good boy." I gave it my all... but always felt like something was wrong. I noticed how well my days went when swapping companions for the day with other elders. It was obvious that our performance lagged behind everyone else any other time. I was in near constant conflict with my companions. Over time, I seriously started to wonder if I was the problem and not them... So I continually gritted my teeth, chastised myself, and kept going as best I could.
So, nearly a year into my mission, my MP was wrapping up his three years and was heading home. During our last visit, he felt the need to share that my string of awful luck with bad companions was completely intentional; he made it clear that he deliberately paired the most difficult companions to be with me every time we switched elders and areas. I was his "babysitter" for all the awful folks because "he knew I would never cave in or break the rules." His parting gift was a literal sociopath of an elder. It broke me and was the catalyst for my going home due to newly acquired illness and profound mental health struggles.
So all of the verbal abuse, emotional manipulation, gaslighting, external & self-directed guilt, and sorrow I felt almost constantly for over a year was thanks to this asshole of a leader who thought he was doing all of us a favor. I never had anything on my shelf until the latter end of my mission, when this all happened. It left said shelf hanging by the screws until recently, when it all finally crashed down.
I still have nightmares about being back in the field years later.
I’m needing a one day a week sitter for my 8 month old. I posted about this on a sitter site and she reached out to me. I told her what I needed, where, etc. She seems to meet all requirements so I set an interview up at my home where she would be potentially babysitting for me.
At the last minute she asked if she could bring her 1 year old son. She previously mentioned that she has a 1 year old but never explained the childcare arrangements on her end, such as if the child is in daycare or if she was a stay at home mom. I just planned on asking her during the interview.
A few months ago a good friend of mine was going to help babysit my baby at her house with her one year old. I took my baby over to their house to get him familiar with the place because I already trusted my friend. However, her 1 year old was extremely wild and was very rough with my baby and we both agreed we was not ready for that. Which makes me nervous about this potential babysitter and her one year old. Plus, if someone is going to be babysitting my infant I need their full undivided attention on them because that’s what I would be paying them for. So I’m not sure how I should go about explaining that in a way that does not come across as rude or if I should continue with the interview and see how it goes?
I've recently taken an interest in Finland's role in World War 2 so I've been digging and found a film to watch loosely based on the subject. I do really apologize if I'm grossly misinterpreting the purpose of the subreddit, I am kind of banking on native Finnish speakers having more understanding of the source material. Hopefully someone has seen this film.
I haven't read the novel that the movie is based on, and I'm certainly no historian. I feel as though I'm missing something. Around October 1st of 1941 the fictional Finnish machine gun company that the movie is following arrives to the Russian city of Petrozavodsk, from there it follows briefly the story of a particular soldier and his relationship with a Russian woman and her friends of college age.
I have a few questions and I'll try to keep them concise:
- When the soldier in question is walking with a few of his comrades through the streets, they pass by a group of women marching in unison with farm equipment, they're singing an anti Russian hymn. Who are these women if it's a Russian city? Were there Finns in Petrozavodsk at the time of Finnish occupation? Some holdouts from the Winter War? Was there a large Finnish immigration into the city after its capture?
- How does this soldier know the names of two children in the city in the scene directly afterwards, he feeds them his rations and teaches them to say "Down with the Russians, up with Finland!" these must not be Russian children as that wouldn't make too much sense...
- Finally, it seems as if he knows the woman that the group of men visit directly after this scene as well, because otherwise the visit would be a little random, if that's the case, then how?
I'd appreciate any suggestions on where else to ask these if no one here can help (or wants to, that's understandable) If it turns out to be unwelcome here I'll delete the post no problem.
My ex husband is not dangerous and won’t harm anyone but he’s a narcissist who gets off of harassing me. He knows not to step foot in my property unless it’s set drop off and pick up times.
I have a babysitter on some days. Yesterday he manipulated the babysitter into getting into the house so he could meet me at home when I came back from work. He then started to verbally harass me.
I want to have professional boundaries with baby sitters. How reasonable is it if I tell them to continue to stick to not letting him regardless of what he says, to contact me and if they can’t reach me to call the police? I don’t want to put anyone in a uncomfortable position and will arrange other childcare if this crosses a line. He won’t harm anyone though.
