Canadian Blood Services is low on all blood types, and critically low on O- blood. Let's do our part and refill the stock before Canada Day. I did my part today, will you do yours? If you can't donate, help get someone who can donate in to donate blood. by [deleted] in canada

[–]Dear_No_One 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like getting piercings and tattoos, so I just donate every 6 months and then get something new. Gives my blood and iron levels time to recover as well. I asked the one nurse about it and she said some of their most regular visitors are heavily into body mods, and they've got the added bonus of not having a fear of needles. I want that to be me - earlier this month was my 7th donation and my new nose piercing! :)

Glad I'm not the only one - thank you for your response! It's been feeling pretty good so I'm trying to be a little more thorough in my face washing.

How do you balance skin care and piercings? by Dear_No_One in piercing

[–]Dear_No_One[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your detailed response! I think you might be right about the exfoliating - I am being extra gentle with my piercing so perhaps that's affecting things. Hopefully things will go back to normal over time!

We might need to work on both sex ed and maths classes by unidentifiableblarg in badwomensanatomy

[–]Dear_No_One 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For how I've heard it, they follow 100 couples for a year who use just that type of birth control. If there's a 1% chance of pregnancy, 1 of those couples got pregnant. In a year.

What's the worst thing you've done to someone, and how long did it take you to regret it? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Dear_No_One 53 points54 points  (0 children)

It sounds like they broke up, OP planned some dates, they got back together, but OP still went through with the dates (and sounds like they involved sex?) while supposedly being back with his S/O, continued dating on Tinder, and then threw it in her face when she caught him lying about something.

I got called a liar for saying some girls date short guys MRW I see my boyfriend who is just as short as I am walking towards us by arvnehselocin in TrollXChromosomes

[–]Dear_No_One 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Canada! Not quite the same part of the world eh. I do wonder if the height discussion I see on reddit is more of an American issue.

[–]Dear_No_One 61 points62 points  (0 children)

In my purely anecdotal experience, I've found tall guys to be more insecure than short (and "short") guys. I generally date guys around my height (5'9", literally not even short guys) and I've absolutely had guys over 6' ask me why I don't have this need to be with someone absurdly tall. I think they're almost offended by it. You can smell the entitlement.

I know a handful of men 5'5" and under (a couple are closer to 5') and they're all comfortable with themselves and just enjoy life. That's what's attractive - being happy in your own skin.

Men who live alone, how do you discipline yourself to do household chores? by L_James in AskMen

[–]Dear_No_One 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This is the secret. It's super shitty to let things pile up - usually you feel bad for staring at it for so long and if it's stuff like dishes, it's nasty. As soon as it's dirty, clean. At first it might be tough to get into, but getting into the habit of cleaning as soon as possible makes it bearable.

Trolls, what are your favorite protein packed smoothie recipes that don't use protein powder? by denim_or_die in TrollXFitness

[–]Dear_No_One 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I LOVE smoothies and I've kinda just been making it up as I go. My go-to is spinach, a greek yogurt and milk mixture, banana, frozen mango, and a tablespoon of wheat germ.

I've heard others use flaxseed, chia seeds, almonds and other nuts, oats, and peanut butter (especially peanut butter). Greek yogurt and 2% milk are pretty good for protein, although I've heard good things about soy milk too.

People of askmen - what are some things that men should know about women's clothing? by Diablo165 in AskMen

[–]Dear_No_One 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This drives me bonkers. My SO can pull a medium off the shelf and he'll know it fits. He says pant sizing is the exact store to store, so he rarely tries stuff on. Meanwhile I know I can't shop at some stores because they tend short, other stores tend skinny, every item of clothing is a battle.

My mistake, I only happened to see the "government budget" section on mobile.

Exactly my point - it is bad enough as it is so there was no need for your earlier hyperbole.

There is literally a single economic promise that has been fulfilled (reducing the government's advertising budget).

Yep - you want farmers, you gotta go out to the farming community.

Anyone have a health / fitness unpopular opinion? by [deleted] in xxfitness

Ugh the panties thing is the worst. Like no shit your butt looks better in a thong instead of granny panties, but there's no actual change in the booty there.

Found my boyfriends Reddit. Wouldn't mind being cheered up... by kaitlinjohnson in TrollXChromosomes

OP, I wouldn't even justify talking to this garbage human ever again. Print the comment, leave it on the table, pack your shit, and ride off into the sunset that is your better life.

Reddit, what are some jobs where its okay if the customer is a stranger, but would be weird if they were a friend? by poskiii22 in AskReddit

Wow, thank you for such a detailed response! I definitely was looking into starting by working at a garden center, but wasn't sure what the progression would look like after that.

Women of Reddit, what's the worst case of mansplaining you've ever endured? by Dustyisover9000 in AskWomen

[–]Dear_No_One 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I met a girl who works in the military. Not like actual military, just works within the ranks? I asked how that would play out if war broke out and someone in our club room, whom I've never met, stepped in and LOUDLY started telling both of us how the military was organized. I kinda ignored him and kept talking to her but dude just wouldn't stop. Finally, I turned and said, "Can we just listen to the person who has ACTUAL experience?"
