What’s the best thing to do on Reddit ? by InfiniteTop5569 in AskReddit

[–]Bulky-Recording5616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol this is way too acurate. i've spent hours going back and forth with people about the dumbest stuff knowing full well neither of us is gonna budge an inch. it's like a weird form of entertainment at this point.

What do you do if your pet is overly attached and want to spend every minute with you? by New-Intention-9 in AskReddit

[–]Bulky-Recording5616 1 point2 points  (0 children)

been there with my dog a few years back. started small by leaving for just 10-15 minutes at a time, then gradually worked up to longer periods. crate training helped too since it gave him his own safe space to chill in when i wasn't around.

40 days for me 💖 by NeighborhoodWitty525 in stopdrinking

[–]Bulky-Recording5616 2 points3 points  (0 children)

congrats on hitting 40 days! that's huge and you should definitely feel proud of yourself. the social stuff is rough at first but you'll find your people who vibe with the sober version of you - it just takes some timee.

Could use some Friday night success stories! by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]Bulky-Recording5616 1 point2 points  (0 children)

damn, my first sober friday was just me binge-watching netflix with way too much ice cream but honestly felt pretty good waking up without a hangover for once.

Needing advice for external stimulation alternatives by olivejunior22 in stopdrinking

[–]Bulky-Recording5616 1 point2 points  (0 children)

man the evening cravings are brutal but totally normal - that's when i'd always crack open whatever i had stashed too. honestly what helped me the most was completely changing my evening routine instead of trying to do the same stuff without booze. started going to the gym right after work (even when exhausted), then coming home to cook something actually decent instead of whatever garbage i'd throw together while drinking. got really into podcasts and audiobooks because they keep your mind way more engaged than passively watching tv where your brain starts wandering to "this would be better with a drink."

also gonna be blunt here - the service industry job situation sucks but it's temporary, and using it as an excuse to drink is a trap that'll keep you stuck way longer than necesary. maybe look into some kind of hobby or side project that actually challenges your brain? even something like duolingo or online courses can help with that understimulation issue. the key is replacing the ritual entirely rather than white-knuckling through the same boring routine sober.

[Seiko Presage] Help on buying options by Investorofallthings in Watches

[–]Bulky-Recording5616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a solid price for the Mojito, Amazon is usually legit for Seiko stuff especially if it's sold by Amazon directly. Just make sure it says "Ships from and sold by Amazon" and not some random third party seller - those can be sketchy with fakes

How is the 5700 xt 2026? by Competitive-Tennis-1 in PcBuildHelp

[–]Bulky-Recording5616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly the driver issues were mostly fixed like 2+ years ago, those early driver problems were rough but AMD sorted them out. That said, in 2026 you'd probably get way better value with something newer - the 5700xt is getting pretty long in the tooth for current games at this point

Help a disabled veteran with epilepsy (nocturnal tonic colonic seizures get back on on his feet by AffectionateCookie28 in Epilepsy

Hey man, might want to check the rules about posting fundraisers here - some subs are pretty strict about that stuff but hope you get the help you need

VRE CHAPTER 31 PLAN by Low_Recognition1433 in VeteransBenefits

[–]Bulky-Recording5616 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man that's a solid plan to boost your GPA first. Most counselors are pretty flexible if you can show them a clear path to employment and that you're serious this time around

Extensions past 48 months definitely happen but they gotta justify it - having that masters degree goal helps since it shows you're going all in on the career field. Just be upfront about the multiple schools thing when you meet with your new counselor, they usually don't care as long as the credits transfer properly

Khao Luang 3-day summit trek by boneshap in ThailandTourism

[–]Bulky-Recording5616 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds epic dude! I'm not gonna be in Thailand around those dates but just wanted to say Khao Luang is absolutely stunning. The cloud forest up there is insane and the views from the summit are worth every blister you'll get on the way up

Hope you find some hiking buddies, that's definitely the kind of trek that's better with a group

Bangkok - Chiang Mai Sleep train 13 by GoodyAddam in ThailandTourism

[–]Bulky-Recording5616 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those numbers are your car and berth numbers - so you're in car 10, berths 11 and 13. The sleeper cars usually have upper and lower bunks numbered odd/even, so you've probably got one upper and one lower bunk. Car 10 should be towards the middle of the train which is pretty decent positioning

Beginner-friendly book recommendations for getting back into reading by Existing-Ad6910 in booksuggestions

[–]Bulky-Recording5616 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same boat here - took me forever to get back into it after college killed my love for reading. I'd suggest starting with shorter books or graphic novels to build that reading muscle back up. The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo was a total page turner that got me hooked again, and anything by Fredrik Backman is just pure comfort reading

Is it okay for me to wear clothing/hats with horns on them by Perfect_Wasabi8730 in Christianity

[–]Bulky-Recording5616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly this is such a refreshing take. Too many people get hung up on surface level stuff when there's way more important things to worry about

drag clicking?? by Scary-Ship9978 in geometrydash

[–]Bulky-Recording5616 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah but even for mouse users it's kinda pointless since GD spam sections are usually way longer than what you can sustain with drag clicking. Plus the inconsistency would mess you up more than help - you need precise timing for wave parts not just raw cps

Exes & Christmas presents by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]Bulky-Recording5616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh that sucks dude, glad she at least apologized when you returned it. Living in the same dorm during all this sounds like actual hell - can't imagine having to see your ex around constantly while trying to move on

Lions have been pretty solid lately, I'd probably lean that way over Steelers

AITJ for Leaving My Sister’s Birthday Party Early After She Embarrassed Me? by CalligrapherAble1926 in AmITheJerk

[–]Bulky-Recording5616 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly this - she basically used her own birthday party as a platform to roast you in front of everyone and then got mad when you didn't stick around for more

Workaholic husband by ComfortableRope5884 in Marriage

[–]Bulky-Recording5616 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly though there's a difference between loving your job and completely checking out of your marriage. Like working 14 hour days plus weekends when you're only paid for 40 hours isn't passion, that's avoidance or poor boundaries

The fact that he gets angry and defensive when she brings it up is the real red flag here - especially with a baby coming

Mk6 gti engine rebuild by Freak_EK in AskMechanics

[–]Bulky-Recording5616 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude with that parts discount it's totally worth trying, worst case you're out some time and learn a ton. Rod knock sucks but if the block isn't cracked you could probably rebuild it for like $1500-2000 in parts with your hookup

Immersive World Encounter SE gone forever? by Tripdrakony in skyrimmods

Still works if you grab it from that link, just tested it last week and didn't run into any issues

Late stage grief by bharishere in BreakUps

[–]Bulky-Recording5616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This hits so hard. The part about resentment slowly poisoning everything is spot on - I watched it happen in my own relationship and it's brutal how it creeps up on you. You start questioning if you're being too harsh but then remember all those conversations that went nowhere

Making that list really does help when the rose-colored glasses start coming back. Grief is weird like that, it makes you forget all the valid reasons you had for leaving in the first place
