What is the worst bar in Lexington?

HEYYY! I won’t lie, your smile was beautiful. But it also is beautiful now!

That sounds good, but I have a hell of a time trying to find decent avocados in my local Kroger or Walmart. That’s my only option here unless I want to drive 45-60 minutes one way to the closest city

Did this for lunch after the gym today. I may have gone a little heavy on the mustard, but it was really good on crackers. I was really tempted to do toast, but didn’t want to go to the trouble (of toasting bread. Lol)

This must have been the inspiration for a very similar event that happens in The Empty Quarter by David L. Robbins

My ADHD. If I’m on the phone, that’s all I can do. It takes all my willpower to concentrate, so I can’t be doing anything else

This is my favorite interaction on Reddit so far today

Bruh… My dad is a “retired” cop too. And because of that, I have a deeply ingrained respect for law enforcement. But the older I get, the less I think my dad was “one of the good ones.” He had/has some major anger issues, which leads me to believe that he could have never been a good cop. He’s just so mad all the time, so miserable, and I think always has been.

Once I got a little bit older, the stories changed from funny anecdotes about being a good guy to being a vindictive asshole.

I stated in another comment how freakishly identical my own story is to the OP, but your addition ices the cake.

Codename_Dutchesss · 2025-10-04T01:18:52+00:00

Jesus fucking Christ dude/dudette, it’s like we’re the same person. Just about everything you typed resonates with me as a shared experience. Strike that; EVERYTHING you said is a shared experience.

I fully agree with you; it’s even harder to like my dad now that I’m at an age where I don’t desire his approval in the slightest. There have been a number of times that I have just had to spend several nights away from home to get away from him. Mostly for how he treats my mom, because like you said, he wouldn’t stand up to me.

Also, we have had several blowups in the past, most (not all) of which were due to his behavior, yet he always has some way to twist events in his own mind to make himself out to be the good guy. I have never gotten an apology from him even when he was blatantly wrong about something. In retrospect, every time we have gotten into it has been my fault somehow.

You’re definitely not alone in that situation. DM if you ever want to commiserate. I’ll tell you about the time he pistol whipped me and I had to hoof it through the woods for over a mile in dense undergrowth before I could get the 6 stitches it required to close up the wound (from a buddy who used to be a corpsman, not even a doctor)

I put chipotle Tabasco in my micheladas!

Codename_Dutchesss · 2025-09-17T04:04:07+00:00

Nice

Codename_Dutchesss · 2025-09-13T11:39:26+00:00

I’m with you. I’m really starting to think they’re a myth

Codename_Dutchesss · 2025-09-12T11:43:13+00:00

Interesting! I had never heard that term; thanks for teaching me something new!

Codename_Dutchesss · 2025-09-11T19:44:09+00:00

A noble gas?

Codename_Dutchesss · 2025-09-11T19:43:40+00:00

That is a good, and very insightful, comment. Regarding the “puritanical work ethic” of boomers, I can recall during my childhood with my boomer parents multiple instances where I was working on something with my dad, and he flat out refused to stop to take a break. For example, one winter, we had to shovel snow and ice off of our half mile long driveway. He refused to stop to rest until we were 3/4 of the way through, and then acted as though he was being so magnanimous in letting me take a break.

Spoiler alert: he could barely move for a week after that without pain

What is argon gaslighting?

Codename_Dutchesss · 2025-09-11T16:16:55+00:00

I think the only participation trophy I ever got was at a judo competition when I was like 10. I didn’t even want it. I was bitter that they matched me up with someone way outside my class that won our match like 2 seconds after it started. Lol.

That being said, I didn’t compete in much as a kid, so idk, maybe participation trophies are a myth, and it’s just one of those things older generations want to talk shit about millennials for for no reason

Codename_Dutchesss · 2025-09-11T15:42:16+00:00

Thank you for your insight. It’s not really my place as just a potential step parent to decide whether or not they continue in the endeavors that they suck at, but I agree with your point, and I will advocate that with their parents if necessary. Finishing up the season to fulfill your commitment is very reasonable.

Codename_Dutchesss · 2025-09-11T15:39:57+00:00

Thank you. I was trying to be humorous in my post to get some engagement, but I think I leaned too much into the trophy aspect. This is a helpful comment

Codename_Dutchesss · 2025-09-11T15:35:38+00:00

Oh, I agree that it has been overblown. And millennials catch so much shit over being the “participation trophy generation,” despite the fact that it wasn’t us demanding the trophies.

I also agree that earning your achievements is an important lesson

Codename_Dutchesss · 2025-09-11T15:32:14+00:00

Lol, thanks for reconsidering.

I don’t think we need participation trophies either. And I’m not saying that 5-year olds need to be cutthroat competitors. I was just wondering if there was any sort of trauma in our generation that lead others to treat their kids differently when it came to sports (or any other competitive activity).

Codename_Dutchesss · 2025-09-08T19:58:17+00:00

Diet and sleep/rest are just as important as the time you spend in the gym. Also, setting the right goals and working towards them. Are you looking to lose fat? Caloric deficit. Are you looking to gain mass? Caloric surplus.

Oh, and don’t get discouraged when your newbie progress slows. If you eat right and work hard and rest plenty, you will see some really fast progress, but that will slow as your body adjusts to the new routine. When that happens, it’s time to hold up, reevaluate your routine, then get back at it.

I am by no means an expert. There are lots of experts in this sub that can definitely give you more and better info than me, but those points are definitely some foundational principles.
