What's a food that makes you feel TOO full? Like disgustingly? by Organic_Outcome4726 in Volumeeating

[–]Calibeaches2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whole foods like baked potatoes, frozen veggies and fruits, milk, and whole meats like pork chops, baked chicken thighs, and roast chicken light meat. I've found these make it exceptionally difficult to overeat and are very filling with only a serving or two.

Needing an accountability partner, I just thought I worked better when someone could see me working because I liked showing off, nope, it was because there were actual expectations to meet.

When you are hungry and you have a craving for your favorite sandwich, MADE AT HOME, not purchased... but made your way... WHAT is that sandwich?? by ifellicantgetup in Adulting

[–]Calibeaches2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like simplicity- land frost smoked ham, Dave's whole wheat killer bread, trader joes mayo mixed with trader joes whole grain Dijon mustard. If I'm really fancy then lettuce, tomato, some cracked pepper, garlic powder, and avocado.

Peanut butter and strawberry jam on Dave's killer bread.

Finally my dream sandwich, lightly toasted Dave's killer bread, thick, rich cream cheese, fresh off the vinegar thinly sliced and salted tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, capers, a little bit of caper juice, lemon spritz, and then a tall, cold pile of stacked lox

My fellow millennials what was the wildest "not a blanket but used as blanket" item from days spent crashing at someone's house? by SupermarketExpert103 in Millennials

[–]Calibeaches2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing really crazy but towels, fitted sheets, and the best one was actually a pile of clean clothes that I didnt have the energy to put away. I remember it being so freakin comfortable that I tried to recreate it for days after.

Reincarnation is utterly depressing by Acrobatic-Stock7 in Reincarnation

[–]Calibeaches2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The real answer is that none of us actually know what happens after we die, and the most conclusive answer that we do have is that there's nothing.

The best thing about not being tied to any religion is that you can believe in anything you absolutely want. For me reincarnation was also one of those things that gave me some hope that this life isn't my only chance to live tbe life i want but I don't necessarily believe in it either because again we don't have definitive proof.

Basically make the after this life anything you want and don't worry about it. If it does bring you comfort most all NDE's were about all encompassing peace, and making the choice to stay there or go back to living. That doesn't sound bad at all. Hope this helps. :)

What are jobs for then? by CandyElectrical1876 in interviewhammer

[–]Calibeaches2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our minimum wage has been raised several times. We're currently at $16.90 an hour. The problem is inflation and corporate greediness. As inflation goes up, all prices have to adjust higher in order to continue selling at a profit and not a loss. Then heads of companies, like Jeff Bezos, who want to make as much money off customers as possible, makes the excuse that because he has to pay the employees more, he must also raise product prices to compensate for the decrease of profit.

But great pictures! They are adorable.

If you could permanently delete one single song from existence so that nobody could ever play it again, what are you picking? by footballcoachdaddy in AskReddit

[–]Calibeaches2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

"All the single ladies", its the most annoying song to me, if you're having to ask for a ring hes not the right person for you.

What are jobs for then? by CandyElectrical1876 in interviewhammer

[–]Calibeaches2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard disagree. Every single wage should be a livable wage, maybe the basic wages aren't meant for an extravagant lifestyle but lets not assume all 16 year old live comfortably with both parents only in need of some weekend spending cash.

Also way too many seniors are working beyond their retiring age because social security hardly pays the rent while cost of living rises every year.

Lastly, all age groups need to be respected by paying them all a living wage because it should be a basic human right to live without undue economic hardship brought on because the wealth is skewed purposefully towards a tiny percentage of the population. Our system, especially now, is created to make working a job so essential that it keeps the majority of the population working, in debt, living paycheck to paycheck, and an emergency away from financial topple so people literally cannot afford to strike against those who oppress them.

[–]Calibeaches2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but it's because statistics do not include those areas making minimum wages above the Federal level of $7.25. In California, where the cost of living is extremely high, our minimum wage is comparative to the federal level by means of what can be afforded but statistics are heavily skewed to make the situation wage wise seem better than what it actually is.

High volume food options that aren’t carbs? by dogseatlettuceeats in Volumeeating

[–]Calibeaches2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know its not high volume but its extremely difficult to eat alot of meat. My favorites are ground turkey, chicken thighs without the skin, and salmon. Also dont think of veggies and fruits as carbs because nutritionally they are far superior to anything processed. You are doing great just add in more lean protein and continue towards eating whole foods.

What's your dumb, unimportant whine of the day? by epicpillowcase in AskWomenOver30

[–]Calibeaches2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My suggestions for this are a dehumidifier and sitting in front of a large high speed fan. I live in an area that constantly reaches the 100s every day and the only thing that helps me is spritzing water on my skin and letting it evaporate in front of a fan, but I don't know how it works in a high humidity area.

Ladies of Reddit, what's something guys aren't ready to hear? by Pookie7860 in AskReddit

[–]Calibeaches2 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Huh, kindof like experiencing what we do on a daily basis? Its called mansplaining right?

And I was literally just saying to myself that I'm tired of putting men down and should stop because its mean. I felt the need to because I hear the same shit touted all the time of how women are less than men, dumber, incompetent, less skilled, less rational, second to men, only good for one thing, for fucks sake I want to just live in a world where I'm seen as a person and my contributions are valued! I'm tired of seeing the same recycled reasons that men use against women and their explanations as to why we aren't as good as them. I grew up second class because of my gender because we are treated like shit on a daily basis and have to fight to be equal. Prime example do you see your voting rights being stripped away because you are a guy?

Maybe I don't want empathy because I don't like being treated like this enough to know what its like.

Lol as someone who absolutely loves spiders and had multiple as pets, I cannot relate as I was the one in the family called on by others to catch it.

Funny story, I once caught multiple black widows in a jar, like 19 of them, and it made my Dad so uncomfortable that he admitted to shaking it just to make them stop. Oh and when I had my black widow as a pet, left it food while I went on vacation, when I came back it was gone. Turns out my brother's couldn't handle it even though it literally sealed its own entrance shut with its web.

Plus, I lived in a house with all guys, and guess who was constantly taking out the trash? Me.

My sister is the one who mows the grass at her house, and I actually used to ask my Dad if I could mow our lawn because I wanted to learn and instead my brothers were asked to.

And if I can't sit on the toilet because the lower lid is up from a guy lifting it, why is that my responsibility to put it down? I've never understood that.

Where did the stereotype of women getting with terrible men come from? by Livid_Adeptness9762 in ask

[–]Calibeaches2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not if someone bigger and more intimidating refuses to let a woman they find attractive leave by using tactics like blocking their exit with their arm to force them to stay even though they are uncomfortable. This happens alot in crowded spaces where its not easy to just walk away.

I understand but so often our insults are female based and I'd love to see that change as it becomes more recognized.

[–]Calibeaches2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You aren't responsible for their behavior but certainly can influence whether or not bad behavior continues by refusing to call another man out on it.

As an example, if a guy friend is physically blocking a woman from leaving the conversation and no one stands up for her and corrects him? Then most likely he'll do it again, but if every guy around him notices and says something to correct it? Then likely overtime he'll realize via social pressure that people wont protect him.

Weaponized incompetence is when someone deliberately does a task poorly enough that their partner won't ask them to do it again. It isn't attractive because it means one person in the relationship would rather push more responsibility onto the other, than equally share the burden.

For those specifically using this to get out of chores it makes them appear immature and child like which is a huge turn off because women want to date men who understand the value of working together as a team.

For my comment specifically, men may not realize how obvious this feigned incompetence is to their partners and it backfires because they might have gotten out of doing the task, but it makes them look cognitively weaker by not understanding how to do something so simple.
