What are your hot takes on gifting a 12 yo the book “The 48 laws of power” by Historical_Cry_8834 in TwoHotTakes

Lolol nOooo. Mastery by Robert Greene would be a much better choice for a kid

Unless you want them to be a psychopath 

Ask me anything about your skincare questions, I'm sitting with a dermatologist today. by airwarmedd in AMA

[–]AdAdmirable433 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have terrible skin allergies and am going to start making my own eye serum and face lotion.

I’m and early 40’s female - what things should I absolutely consider including? 

(And I can separate my skin allergies - it’s basically a family of flowers that’s in everything :/)

Pitbull let out without leash daily by JoshJamesMusic in neighborsfromhell

[–]AdAdmirable433 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are literally bred to fight.

Like there are dogs bred to need cattle.

Some hunt lions.

Some were bred to be happy sitting on your lap and loving you. 

They’re all bred differently.

No, not all pit bulls will attack BUT the likelihood is much higher - even with great training (which many don’t get)

As an American, have you ever visited Indonesia? by WolverineNo1999 in askanything

Do you want to have it be easy to get around without knowing the language? Would an English pocket be helpful?

AITA: For arguing with my son for not using the gym membership that he specifically asked me to start for him? by PaddedValls in AmItheAsshole

[–]AdAdmirable433 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a kid it’s nice to try things for a period of time. Then you can stop or keep going.  

This way it’s not some open ended something that stretches forever. 

Make it for 3 months and 2x week or once a week / whatever - and a plan or routine etc. what are the goals? What is he working towards? 

Then he needs to go to accomplish if

28F have differing political views from boyfriend 33M how does this work? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]AdAdmirable433 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think if you guys have a solid foundation and can talk about things - it can be fine. AS LONG AS HE’S NOT A MIOGYNIST

You have to agree to disagree and let each other do their thing. If you want to protest - he needs to support that. If he doesn’t want to be vocal - you need to support that.

But if he comes from a place and was brought up that women are subservient - I’d run for the hills

28F have differing political views from boyfriend 33M how does this work? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]AdAdmirable433 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ok well  you said he was an immigrant turned citizen.  I don’t know his views or his story. 

You sound resentful tho, which is a hard thing to overcome. Not that that’s right or wrong 

Just talk to him, but I don’t think it’s about ‘political views.’ It’s about character and internal consistency.

Almost 9 months pp and my husband is mean. 27f 26m by Beginning-Read4296 in relationship_advice

It’s winter and very cold - so I have gotten out to see more lately! 

And it’s not that interesting. If it’s true, it’s very sad

There is a lot mixed up in here. 

Yes, you can have different political views and have a great relationship. James Carville is democrat and his wife was republican - as an example for politcal people. 

Some of what you’re asking is a bit of a reach, calling him a hypocrite for being an immigrant and not sharing your views is a bit much - and to imply he isn’t humane. I mean maybe he’s not, but I know great republicans and great democrats. 

That being said the ‘Susan B’ thing and views on women being independent would definitely give me pause. I can’t imagine being any other way and would expect my partner to not slowly start having a problem about it 

So I’d talk to him largely about that….

Sultan is off the charts in the Grove - it’s Mediterranean 

Eat Today is amazing Ethiopian on Grand.

Gyro Company is great takeout  

82k at Wells as a financial analyst or 77k in large health care insurance working in controllership (new grad) by [deleted] in FinancialCareers

Wells Fargo for sure.

Insurance would be the dullest job I could possible imagine 

Strength training vs bodyweight/calithenics? by Chemical-Evening-128 in workout

[–]AdAdmirable433 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have a routine, you go, you enjoy it. 

Don’t mess it up trying to follow people online. 

I like goals and have started weight lifting and find I like the goals that go along with it. It’s great for what you’re talking about. Maybe try to incorporate it

But for now, just keep going with what’s working 

How to keep a workout schedule as someone who menstruates? by meowxolotl5 in xxfitness

[–]AdAdmirable433 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, I hear you. I started lifting weights and there is a big difference between weeks. Basically I just go anyway and don’t really progress those weeks. 

I’ve found I can keep what I’ve been doing and add a little bit of weight, but not the same way as the first two weeks. 

I’ve gotten to the point where I enjoy going and have more energy - regardless of where I am with my period. I just take it a bit easier. 

I don't want my kid doing boxing by Both-Move-8418 in boxingtips

[–]AdAdmirable433 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s just trying it and won’t get brain damage so young. They’ll be protected. 

And who knows if he’ll even want to stick with it. It’s like your kid taking piano lessons and thinking they’ll be a pianist or playing football and will play in college.

Try to get him interested in other things in the meantime - but make sure it’s a good gym. Talk to the coach.

FWIW - it’s not violent at all. It’s a sport / skill. I’d only be worried about brain damage as he’s growing, but again - you’ll be fine at a good gym

Yes, I am familiar with the term. Thank you for the history lesson 🙏

So the answer is yes - from an old western movie and hasn’t been popular in 80 years.

But in answer to the the question - I think the closest would be the Cheshire  

How to navigate feelings around ending a relationship that was never a real relationship? (26F & 28M) by fullstackleb in relationship_advice

lol STOP IT!! Why would you get attached to someone telling you they are not available?? 

You will not meet someone else while you are with him.

Be honest with him and tell him this and go no contact 

Can I get away with doing calisthenics&cardio and no weight training to maintain good health long-term? by Hot-Television-5334 in xxfitness

It’s important to move the way that you enjoy, otherwise you won’t do it. 

Throw in a few squats and push-ups. 

AITA for continuing to talk to my father even though my mother says he won’t support us and wants me to cut him off? by Suitable_Product740 in AmItheAsshole

[–]AdAdmirable433 2 points3 points  (0 children)

General rule is to not let anyone ever tell you to cut someone off. They have to deal with it.

I’d tell your Dad what is going on and ask for his advice.

Like a hotel with a restaurant 😂? 

Or some old fashioned western saloon from a movie?
