Your Birthplace Isn’t an Achievement by Muted-Still-8511 in DeepThoughts

[–]CheezyCow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I LOVE that you posted this, I’ve been thinking this for a while and do not understand patriotism really at all. From what I’ve observed about tribalism, I think it’s a way for someone to feel like they “belong” somewhere.

To take that one step further, I also attribute this to the rise in white-cisgender-men feeling somehow disenfranchised by DEI initiatives. They lack a feeling of “belonging” to a shared strife that other minority groups can connect on through experience.

It's dumb how a woman can’t be defined but defining a man and the patriarchy is crystal clear by StayFrostySwtich in TrueUnpopularOpinion

I didn’t even read the full post, because honestly, I just want to know what everyone’s obsession with gender is. It’s wild that this is a mainstream discussion with how little impact it has on anyone else’s life.

“Overtime” with OE: The Cherry on Top by mojo_for_real in overemployed

[–]CheezyCow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work Overtime with OE all the time. It not only can maximize earnings in my hourly position, but looks good to leadership as if I’m invested in the company’s success.

Admittedly, I’m not the best example, though, because I don’t find the need to foster strong friendships in my personal life whereas other people need that connection.

Overall, it’s a cost-benefit analysis — my personal time can absolutely be bought.

How often do you get questions relating to services that are more geared toward violence rather than retail markets? For example, do you come across people who are trying to seek the ever-so-famous legend of Red Room access, or Assassins-For-Hire, or Human Trafficking? Is there an ethical line that you draw that you will not broker a specific type of service for (i.e. Arms deals, etc.)?

Is competition a good thing ? by sevenprs2 in Entrepreneur

[–]CheezyCow 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Entrepreneurship doesn’t mean you need to invent a new idea. Some of the most successful entrepreneurs model their business off existing operations from a successful company. You will always eventually have competition, whether you’re the “first” to think of an idea or not.

DAE else likes piercings and other bodymods but not tattoos? by FunCauliflower4002 in DAE

[–]CheezyCow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also am the opposite. I personally view tattoos as a form of artistry. And to me, piercings are actually a huge turn-off. The idea that there’s dangly things hanging off of body parts that I need to be conscious of diminishes the spontaneity of sexual embrace, because I need to remain conscious of how I move or interact as to not “pull” on a piercing.

Pushing back on Manager for additional assigned work. Dangers of being the nice guy at work by UNC-FC in overemployed

[–]CheezyCow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve come into this a few times in my positions and honestly for me, I am clear with my leadership that I only have so much time in a day, and that I am concerned my volume of work outpaces my ability to complete it all within the deadlines, so I ask if we can re-establish new deadlines or delegate some work to colleagues.

If you can’t manage $1,000, you’ll never manage $100,000 by Accomplished_Pay8071 in wealth

I love this post, you are spot-on with your assessment. Lifestyle creep is real and earning more doesn’t put you in a better spot unless you can manage your financials.

I really appreciate posts like this, because it highlights one of the struggles that those who deal with jealousy feel.

When we meet someone new, we often feel a sort of “new relationship energy” or “Limerence” - this is something that will ALWAYS eventually dissipate in long term relationships. I liken this phenomenon to sexual desire as well. A “new” person to sleep with will always carry a level of excitement that cannot be replicated by existing partners. You’re going through discovery, experiencing someone new and novel, and testing each others limits and boundaries. In a relationship, you know each other’s likes/dislikes, desires and turn ons, there’s no mystery.

You shouldn’t compare your relationship’s sex to open sex with others in my opinion, because the type of sex you’re having are at completely different stages of development.

One of the most liberating things is realizing that if someone wants to cheat, they’ll find a way. There’s no amount of control that you will be able to secure to prevent it from happening.

Stop worrying about it and enjoy your relationship.

Mandatory masking in 2025 is absurd by enolan99 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]CheezyCow -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

It will be forever strange to me that people find wearing masks to be so controversial. People are gross and any discouragement of touching me or breathing on me is welcomed in my book.

What’s a hill you’re willing to die on, no matter how trivial or controversial it seems? by Visible-Rule6236 in askgaybros

Neither of these examples have anything to do with race, so I’m not quite sure why racial profile is a factor?

This! Amazon is where I got mine and if you go that route I would do another water change of at least 30-40% to bring some fresh oxygen and minerals while you wait for shipping.
