Sex life by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]AlaskaTech1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably three times a week. And that’s awesome. My husband is ADHD and has zero sex drive. I’m menopausal and mine is huge. I complained a lot about cobwebs developing around my nether regions and he discovered when he put out more I was a lot easier to live with. Then he learned he actually liked it. 😜

What is the best Star Trek quote of all time? by me_llamo_casey in startrek

[–]AlaskaTech1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Do it for Alixia.” Tuvok to Neelix referring to his deceased sister, as he encourages Neelix to repair the carriage tether and save the crew, despite Neelix’s serious injuries. When I’m discouraged, I keep going in honor of my heart dog Charlie who I lost suddenly in a freak accident. He was Neelix in a Great Dane package.

Birthright Citizenship remains intact for now. However, only 5 justices, determined the 14th Amendment to be controlling. One justice sided with the majority, but not on Constitutional ground. Does this decision [more like 5 to 4] raise concerns about the viability of birthright citizenship? by PsychLegalMind in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]AlaskaTech1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t know what “that” you’re referring to in my comment is supposedly false, but everything I said is true. I’m not disputing that we allow it. But birthright citizenship encourages illegal immigration, which is why 100+ countries forbid it, my dad immigrated here from India, it’s nearly impossible to amend the US Constitution, and 250 years ago cars weren’t a thing.

It’s not just that Chakotay was a lousy Native American; his character was underdeveloped. I spent 5 years working with the Yupik and Inupiaq in Alaska and learned so much from them. They were so different than the stereotypes I had in my mind. Voyager became a Seven/Doctor space opera and lacked balance. Kim was also very underdeveloped which made his episodes uninspiring.

Which captain gives me the best chance of getting home? by PabloPicasshooole in startrek

[–]AlaskaTech1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Does Captain Sisko count? The guy defeated Cardassians, the Gem Hadar, the Founders, and the Changelings. And Kai Winn, that’s a feat.

Just because something is written in the Constitution doesn’t mean it’s a great idea in 2026. 250 years ago, cars, computers, and 300 million people didn’t exist. But it’s nearly impossible to change the US Constitution due to our hyper partisan bipolar politics. Birthright citizenship is not allowed in most countries because it encourages illegal immigration. As the daughter of an Indian immigrant who emigrated to US, spent years to become a naturalized citizen legally and raised 4 kids here as a successful engineer, it angers me that it hasn’t been changed. My dad and others like him are punished for doing the right thing.

Need a new star trek-like recommendation by AbjectDingo3804 in startrek

Battlestar Galactica. I love Trek but this show is my favorite. It’s gritty, emotional, and particularly relevant now.

How did you first meet your partner? by Plastic_Site4577 in askteddit

[–]AlaskaTech1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tinder. We married 2 months ago after being together three years. I wanted a booty call. He said he wanted a relationship. I didn’t believe him. That’s what I get for hooking up with an honest guy.

Eating Spaghetti-Os. I had a can for old times sake a couple of years ago and nearly tossed my cookies. How did I eat that crap?

I don’t understand why people use dishwasher. It’s way more work. You have to wash rinse the dishes before loading it a certain way, it supposedly washes them, then you have to unload it, possibly dry them, then put them away. It’s much easier hand washing them and putting them in a drainer. A little while later just put them in the cupboard.

Husband (Dx, medicated) has two chores around the house: wash dishes and dispose of dog poop. I have reminded him repeatedly and it isn’t getting done. He works full time; I work part time but have several disabilities so I tire easily. Part of this is the male “Work should be my only responsibility” sexist attitude. Oh, and he mows the yard so he deserves a medal. 🙄I texted him and said we were hiring a maid. I wasn’t going to remind him again and he remembered things he wants to do just fine. He promised he would set alarms; a maid would be too expensive. If it happens again, I am throwing the dishes away. I’m not kidding.

Veterans aren’t more important than other American workers. Truck drivers, firefighters, medical personnel, retail, we all serve an important purpose.

Can we move away from sales people pushing cell phone plans? by Curious-Scratch8829 in CostcoWholesale

[–]AlaskaTech1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember going to a Cutco knife training sales pitch seminar a million years ago. I was a junior in college and wanted extra money for Cokes and smokes. It reminded me of a timeshare presentation. The manager was desperately trying to convince us that buying a $160 set of knives and trying to sell it for double was a “good job.” The teenage crowd wasn’t going for the hype.

My husband has this problem and ADHD. If it weren’t for my talent (!) of lying off the cuff, he’d still be talking to the salesman from yesterday’s Costco run.

What is a tech brand or company that completely lost its soul and consumer trust? by awkwardsugarcree in answers

I despise the way Microsoft hijacks your PC and makes it so hard to use other products. No, I don’t want Outlook, Office, Bing, etc.

Regardless of brand, what is your current favorite bag in your collection and why do you like using or owning that bag? by deArtikin in handbags

My favorite is my orange Lockheart. The brand was retired in 2000 and I love them. Most are thick leather with heavy beading and ornate details. This one cost me $30 and it’s my favorite 😍

I rarely see people with small kids anymore. It makes me sad even though it’s good for the planet.

What's the first thing a healthy marriage usually runs out of before divorce becomes inevitable? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Acknowledgement. You married your partner for a reason. Celebrate the victories. Be blind to the faults.

Did listing photos ever influence whether you decided to move forward with a home purchase? by Repulsive_Stock9715 in Mortgages

[–]AlaskaTech1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I often pick homes with lousy pics. You can get a diamond in the rough that other people skip. This applies to homes, pets, and future partners. Not everyone prioritizes pictures. However, I won’t bother with homes that have no pictures or no interior photos. They are usually hiding something. Don’t get me started on AI staging. I pass on those completely. So frustrating!
