What should I do if my brother in law makes my family watch all 6 Rocky movies on Christmas and I can’t take it anymore? /u/SwissCheese4Life No such thing as stupid questions

My brother in law is a great guy. He’s got a successful small business, has two awesome kids, and treats my sister (his wife) really well.

However, we we all gather at my parents house for Christmas every year, he INSISTS on putting on the Rocky movies allllllll day. Not only do they have to be on the tv, but he wants to be sure that we’re watching the movies and paying attention to them. They can’t just be on in the background.

He starts right when we wake and and we have to open presents while the first movie plays. Then he puts on Rocky II, then III, and so on. They play throughout the entire day. And the volume of the tv is always SO loud. Anytime we leave to go into another room to try and do something else, he gives us a guilt trip that we’re not participating in the family tradition.

I can’t take it anymore. I don’t find the movies to be bad, but I feel this tradition doesn’t have much to do with Christmas and I don’t like the movies enough to have to have them on every single year.

I’m also not the only one on my family who wants this tradition to end. What can we do?

Do men wipe after they pee? /u/howlixg No such thing as stupid questions

I had a conversation with a friend of mine a while ago and it lead to asking if guys in general wipe the top of their dicks with toilet paper or shaking the excess off. He said that he shakes it off and it made me a little grossed out, do you walk around with pee stained boxers? It’s not very hygienic 😭

What makes the best Formula 1 drivers win? /u/Jazzlike-Horror4 No such thing as stupid questions

What makes the best Formula 1 drivers win? /u/Jazzlike-Horror4 No such thing as stupid questions

Formula 1, F1, where people drive really fast in really expensive cars. It’s a big thing, and I have a lot of friends who are very interested in it. I’m not, really.

When they talk about who’s good and who’s bad, and who will win this and that race, I always wonder how much the driver really matters in such a race, compared to a good car. I know that the best driver won’t be able to win any race in a regular car, but would I, as a regular driver, be able to win if I had the best of the best car (and was told how to use it)? Or would I finish last for some reason I can’t understand?

Basically, how much is the driver, how much is the car, and how much is the wheel changing people?

Is it strange to wrap empty boxes to put under your tree for decoration? /u/EnvironmentalAngle No such thing as stupid questions

Is it strange to wrap empty boxes to put under your tree for decoration? /u/EnvironmentalAngle No such thing as stupid questions

Hi. I’m a single dude with no kids. That being said I still decorate and put up a tree for the holiday. However one thing that irks me about my set up is there are no presents under the tree.

I have no reason to put any there as no one is going to be opening gifts at my house. Don’t think that’s sad, I’ll be opening plenty of gifts today its just we all go to my uncle’s house for Christmas and there’s no reason to open gifts at my house.

The reason I don’t put them there is because of social anxiety. I feel like my friends are going to chirp me when they come over and see empty boxes.

But malls do it right? Am I just being anal retentive and there’s nothing weird about wrapping empty boxes as decoration or am I justified in my reservations?
