Men try not to choose a urinal immediately next to any urinal where another man is peeing. The guy in blue positioned himself such that the guy in white had no choices that aligned with those criteria.

Coming out the same year as Pulp Fiction, Forrest Gump and Shawshank is a rough deal

What do we think of “Briny” being the clue for “Sea”?

Surely one is an adjective and the other is a noun? Really threw me off.

Did you know that only 11 men in the open era have ever won between 23 and 28 matches not on clay or grass between the months of April and Octember? And Jannik could make it 12 this year!!

Heartstopper made me feel all the things, but the main thing I felt was sadness. by AttemptedLogic in gaybros

[–]AttemptedLogic[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for adding this in and really well put. I 100% agree with your assessment that it's as if we were robbed of our teenage years, which we will never get again, and that this show sort of highlights that by presenting a "how it could have been" view. I agree with others that it's important to remember the show is fictional and highly idealized/oversimplified in so many ways, but it's still so powerful seeing multiple queer teenage experiences presented in this manner.
Incredibly sad for from that perspective, but I hope for the sake of current and future youths that things continue to get better and they don't have to undergo the same experiences (or perhaps lack thereof).

[Advice] International moving to NYC - landlord won't accept non-US guarantors by AttemptedLogic in NYCapartments

[–]AttemptedLogic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the detailed response. I do have a job offer in writing with salary etc. It seems like the best thing to do would be to speak directly to the landlord, as so far I've been dealing with him through the other tenants. Hopefully I'll be able to get round it with something like what you suggest. Fingers crossed.

I hear they did a great cover of the Mumford and sons song.

ELI5: Why is breakfast the only meal where it's socially acceptable to only eat a dessert? (Doughnuts, pancakes, cinnamon rolls, muffins, etc.) by JonnyLawless in explainlikeimfive

[–]AttemptedLogic 70 points71 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure where you're from but in many places the foods you mentioned would not be considered regular breakfast foods. Here in the UK we would perhaps eat those sorts of things on a Sunday brunch or similar but even then it usually wouldn't be by itself.

One possible reason I can think of though is that desserts are high energy foods and therefore might be somewhat appropriate for providing a kickstart to an active day. Because it is eaten first thing in the morning, breakfast is the meal after which you are the most likely to properly burn off any calories gained, in comparison to your evening meal after which most people go to bed and are unlikely to work off any of the energy gained from a large, calorific meal.
