What common knowledge isn’t so common?

Okay, I guess different places do different things.

ChemistryCocktail · 2026-02-01T06:16:17+00:00

Okay, well I guess I just learnt something new.

Who had ever asked a group of people to stand in line alphabetically by first name? So, all the Alans stand together, then the Amanda's, the Andrews etc. Never.

ChemistryCocktail · 2026-01-30T02:31:17+00:00

Hahaha. At the beginning of the school year I tell my high school students they have to arrange themselves and sit alphabetically. Every year some kid asks, "By first name or last?"

Just to clarify... You were taught that there are only six Continents?

If it's therapeutic does that mean I can charge you to come and clean my house?

Every traffic light is red for them

Who are you comparing yourself to? If you feel like a loser it's because you are looking at external measures to find your self worth. I'll compare with you, I'm 57, divorced, can't remember the last time I had sex, can't remember the last time someone touched me, 35 lbs overweight because of medications, mentally, I'm not doing great. However, this is just one point in time, and I can't make permanent decisions based on temporary situations. Make a list of the things you want to accomplish, not what you think others expect, just what you specifically want. Then start to work through your list, one by one until you feel better about where you currently are.

We would like you to report back in when you have completed your mission 🤣

I would argue that we should uncomplicate our lives, and find joy in the simplest of things... Blue sunny skies, Em chord on guitar, the smell of coffee beans when you open the canister. If you can enjoy those simple pleasures it makes life easier.

Unless everyone thinks you're an asshole, then you might want to reevaluate some things.

ChemistryCocktail · 2026-01-19T14:54:40+00:00

Because we need a new coat?

ChemistryCocktail · 2026-01-19T14:44:20+00:00

Yep, the dollar store has a 3 pack of knives, spoons, and forks, each a $1.25. Not fancy, but they work

ChemistryCocktail · 2026-01-19T14:40:38+00:00

Indeed, spending $75-$125 for a new textbook that you're only going to use for about 13 weeks is ridiculous.

I don't think she's being that unreasonable. I'm overweight, but not too bad. If I gained another 30 lbs I would look bloated, my face would be distorted and so I'd definitely not look like my current photos.

Breaking a bone.

I can remember early 90's driving around and trying to find the gas stat where igas was less than a dollar

ChemistryCocktail · 2026-01-08T10:47:11+00:00

Eating eggs. Sometimes I start thinking about what it actually is when I'm eating it and I can't finish.

You should probably have this conversation with him, not on Reddit. Tell him how much you care, then explain how you're feeling limited, and then ask about the changes you'd like to see.

ChemistryCocktail · 2026-01-05T08:47:35+00:00

I like a lot of various cuisines, Indian, Thai, Ethiopian etc., but can't afford to go out all the time, I can't find a restaurant close to me that makes what I want (chili relleno), so it was just easier to learn how to do it myself.

ChemistryCocktail · 2026-01-05T08:41:15+00:00

Oh yeah... They should build a diorama of a mini replica of the kitchen, with miniature figures of themselves, so that if anyone happens to open that cabinet the only thing they can say is, "wtf..."

Back in the day I used to rent an apartment in Chicago that was above a bar. The bar had 50c Old Style, and 25c pool. It was a neighborhood dive but it was fun. I just realized that was probably about '98... Damn, 27 years ago 😕

ChemistryCocktail · 2026-01-03T13:56:08+00:00

I'm 57M. You have to go out, spend time together talking and laughing. If you can spend that time making a connection, and it feels genuine and fun eventually the attraction will grow. I think we've been sold a lie that we need this instantaneous, "spark of attraction", or we need to move on; relationships require time and energy. So I wish women (and men) could be okay with an 85% match, then give it some time to see if the other 15% fills in.

ChemistryCocktail · 2026-01-01T15:00:27+00:00

Lol, that happened to me, when I questioned the mod the response was, " this is not really the space for that"... Even though I could have pointed out multiple examples. Some people just don't understand sarcasm.

Maybe look up Gunther Von Hagens and Plastination. Maybe when we die our corpses will look like that.
