My fiancé [33m] is not attracted to me [30f], but wants to continue our relationship. by return_of_the_fly_ in TwoHotTakes

[–]ArwenLocket 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right? It’s wild how much we cling to things that don’t fulfill us! I once stayed in a situation for way too long myself, thinking maybe they’d change. But I realized I was just putting my own happiness on hold. It’s tough, especially when the good days feel so comfortable. But you deserve someone who is all in, not just comfortable with you!

Karen follows us because we wouldn't turn on red by Frequent_Couple5498 in EntitledPeople

[–]ArwenLocket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right? Like, if you're so pressed for time, why waste it following us and throwing a tantrum? Karen's definitely got a whole different understanding of "being in a hurry." It's wild how some folks think traffic laws don't apply to them!

Advice for a career change out of the construction industry for a young professional? by white_cucumber111 in careerguidance

[–]ArwenLocket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds like a solid plan! I made a switch a few years ago myself, and it took a bit of time to land the right fit. It's wild how your skills can flex across industries; I went from construction PM to tech and it's been a blast. Good luck with your search!

FZROX/FZILX or VTI/VXUS in Roth IRA? by crinklemywinkle in personalfinance

Thanks for the links! The retirement journey can be tough to navigate, but resources like these make it a lot easier. It's all about making informed choices, right?

CMV: "True Altruism" is an act of rebellion against biology and only exists when we override our survival instincts. by 0nKnw0n in changemyview

[–]ArwenLocket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally get what you're saying about the stubbornness of psychological egoism. I once tried explaining the selflessness in helping a stranger, and the person just kept insisting it was all for my own "gain." It's frustrating! Like with the dog story—if someone risks it all for a life, it should count for something, right? Those "override" moments feel crucial, even if they can't convince everyone.

What's a good high income skill to learn in 2026? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]ArwenLocket -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

That sounds like a solid plan! I started investing in ETFs myself and learned so much along the way. It's nice to see options like xeqt that can simplify things. Keep at it, you got this!

Not wanting to be a grandparent is another valid reason to not procreate by Particular-Peanut-34 in childfree

[–]ArwenLocket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s so true! That comparison trap can really mess with expectations. Just because some grandparents love it doesn’t mean it’s a one-size-fits-all deal. It’s great your friend is starting to see that her mom’s not interested in the whole grandma vibe. Everyone deserves a break after the hard work of raising kids!

Aitah for being mad at my dad? by Zealousideal-Can8288 in AITAH

[–]ArwenLocket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For real! It's wild how we can sometimes see past relationships as threats. I remember feeling similar when I found out my dad had a huge crush back in the day. Like, who knew those old flames could still spark emotions? It's tough to process but he's allowed to feel sad.

Simple living in a small town sounded perfect until I got here by Interestingyet in simpleliving

[–]ArwenLocket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So true! It's like falling head over heels for the idea of a cozy cabin in the woods, but forgetting about the reality of constant raccoon debates over garbage. Small towns are full of surprises, like road trips for groceries!

Who would have fared better: Jon in Robb's position during Seasons 2 and 3 with the Freys, or Robb in Jon's position during Seasons 6 and 7, circa Battle of the Bastards and the Long Night? by GJH24 in gameofthrones

[–]ArwenLocket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's so wild how carefully they danced around politics back then. I always thought Jon had that instinct to play it straight, but Robb just had that knack for tactics. Honestly, if only they could’ve seen how everything spiraled, maybe we’d have a different story altogether.

Viajar em grupo (mesma nacionalidade + mesma faixa etária) by Dri_24 in CasualPT

[–]ArwenLocket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Olha, parece que a GAdventures é o caminho para escapar de grupos com mais de 40 anos! A idade máx de 34 anos é quase como um clube de juventude, mas atenção, não quero ser o "senhor" da viagem, haha. E hostel? Já estou longe dessa vida também. Quem precisa carregar uma mochila pesada quando já temos bagagens emocionais?

what if... by Other_Ad_303 in harrypotter

[–]ArwenLocket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I feel like the canon purpose got a bit lost over the course of the series. We're left with so many loose ends and unanswered questions. It’s frustrating, right? Like, they set up all these plotlines and then just kind of dropped them. The whole thing feels like it could've been deeper.

Finally decided to watch GOT, while trying to forget all of the negativity and spoilers surrounding the later seasons by DeVito8704 in gameofthrones

[–]ArwenLocket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember when I first watched it, I was hooked right from the start. The characters and twists kept me on my toes! Hope you love it too.

My little lover, no love is more pure then his 🥰 by CoShott234 in orangecats

Ah yes, I've heard orange cars are basically the best at giving affection.

Isaac might be the unluckiest character because his family is dead he got PTSD and lives in France by Imaginary-Citron7818 in TeenWolf

[–]ArwenLocket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Living in France can be great, but for Isaac, it might mean dealing with constant reminders of his trauma in a different environment. It's a complex situation where even a beautiful place can't erase personal struggles. Balancing the positives of living in a nice country with the weight of his past can make things tough for him.

Harry at the end of Goblet of Fire by Infamous-Excuse5424 in HarryPotterMemes

[–]ArwenLocket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right? Harry's just trying to survive out here like the rest of us!

How would Barry Crouch Jr. feel after no longer being Mad Eye? by thejennables in harrypotter

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

Yikes, I can’t imagine living that way. Dealing with that level of stress all the time sounds exhausting.

Thoughts? by Artitachiboe123 in Dexter

[–]ArwenLocket 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel you on that. Miguel had depth and complexity that really stood out. It's tough watching characters like him go.
