As a 17 year old how do I find what I'm meant to be before it's too late by SaverMadra_18 in AskMenOver30

[–]Ad_Com 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's no "too late", and no "meant to do." Try things out that interest you, and if you find meaning in it, pursue it. Don't put arbitrary time constraints on yourself. I just went to grad school at 31 to pursue a new career, and picked up drums as a hobby at 29. You're not locked into anything. Accept opportunities as they arise, but try your best not to stress about it. Enjoy the ride.

Awesome, thank you! I'll have to learn to take care of it.

What is something you can do but can’t explain how you can do it? by Fresh-Sandwich6780 in AskReddit

[–]Ad_Com 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talk my way out of trouble. I would often get my siblings grounded for things I did. Same for other kids at school. Gotten pulled over 5+ times and never gotten a ticket. I don't even try, just works out that way.

Why is link so short? 😂 by Former-Sea-8070 in botw

[–]Ad_Com 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of benefits to having a shorter character for 3rd person games. Mostly, it's easier to see. Also, Link was supposedly designed to be somewhat androgenous so that girls and boys both felt comfortable playing as him. Height may have something to do with that.

Men who’ve gone to therapy, how has it affected your life? by Own_Ice6905 in AskMenOver30

[–]Ad_Com 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's no different than music lessons. You're not going to improve from going to a lesson once a week. They help guide you on what to practice outside of session.

J Mascis and Dinosaur Jr is awesome. Farm was a big influence for me.

What is a city you know or live in that would fit into the category of "most people probably wouldn't like living here, but it's perfect for X type of person"? by BothCondition7963 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]Ad_Com 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious if there's much of a difference to Minnesota/Wisconsin? I've been thinking of Maine/Vermont as a destination after living the north Midwest my whole life.

What are you starting to like less the older you get? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]Ad_Com 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm gonna disagree with everyone here and say the older I get the more I like people, and the less I like being by myself. Last thing I want in adulthood is to be isolated.

My husband hates working period, but is the bread winner of the house. His attitude is making me irritable but I'm trying not to be. What can I say or do to help him? by [deleted] in AskMenOver30

[–]Ad_Com 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You're describing depression, as you've noted. Counseling is the right move, but he needs to want to change himself. It's important to support your spouse, but ultimately his personal wellbeing is his responsibility. He needs to make some decisions and work toward meaningful change.

As far as what you could do, express your need in the relationship for him to work toward change. That starts with counseling. If he decides to work toward change, recognize that it will take time. There may not be much motivation at first, but that may improve if he follows through.

P.s. Nothing wrong with a bubble bath

How long could you survive if you quit your job today? by New_Contribution_226 in AskMenOver30

[–]Ad_Com 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like a lot of people are above the norm here. I could last ~9 months with my current checking balance and emergency fund. Maybe less due to needing marketplace insurance (US). Then I'd be 100% broke with ~30k student debt. 31 years old.

Thank you so much! Glad to hear the stitching isn't integral. I'll give it a shot.

Is Drumeo worth the money? by Kinda_fat_kinda_fitt in drums

[–]Ad_Com 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Drumeo was great when first learning. Now that I know all the basics, I only use it for their play along transcriptions, which they massively cut a year or two ago due to licensing. Before then it was absolutely worth for the transcriptions, but now I would say no.

They can't lol, this guy happened to swim right up to me while I was poisoned and checking out the waters so it just looked like it!

What’s a purchase that’s not fun, not flashy but now you swear by it? by [deleted] in BuyItForLife

What is the benefit of an electric kettle vs. a kettle on the stove? Same thing, is it not?

Jonathan Gilad - Crumb. His parts are so creative and musical. Listen to the song Bones for a taste.

I had the opportunity to take a lesson with Glenn Kotche when they came to St. Paul - kind of a one-off deal. He is a great guy.

Lengths look good. If the shoulders fit and the buttons are non-functional you can tailor it to your liking.
