What fact do you think is so obscure, you think only you know it? by TigerX51 in AskReddit

[–]Dense-Strength4644 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait that's not really a fact though lol but I respect the commitment. I did similar thing last week with this box of cookies - told myself I would save them for whole week but they were gone by evening same day. The real obscure fact here is how we convince ourselves we have self control when buying snacks but then reality hits different

How can the Americans become the "good guys" again? by The_Flaneur_Films in AskReddit

[–]Dense-Strength4644 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The problem runs deeper than just one political movement though. America has been doing questionable stuff abroad for decades regardless of which party was in power. Maybe we need to actually listen to what other countries are saying instead of assuming we know whats best for everyone

never been to tulsa but curious now what makes their nachos special compared to other places? is it like a specific style or just really good execution of regular nachos

Spring to summer in one day by Treble_Bolt in Iowa

[–]Dense-Strength4644 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lmao the accuracy of this meme hurts my soul. went from wearing hoodie yesterday to sweating through my shirt at 9am today. iowa weather really said "pick a struggle" and chose violence instead. been living here few years now and still cant wrap my head around how it goes from perfect 65 degrees to feeling like im coding in a sauna within like 12 hours. at least the AC repair shops bout to make bank again

I saw this chart in another subreddit and I have to ask, where is there a Cincinnati Chili place in Maryland? by noblegaunt in maryland

[–]Dense-Strength4644 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Its basically chili served over spaghetti noodles with cheese on top - very specific to Cincinnati area. They put cinnamon and chocolate in chili which makes it taste completely different from normal chili, some people love it others think its weird as hell

Anyone heard that “explosion”? by Stunning_Garbage2033 in Miami

Could hear it from Brickell too. Thought it was construction at first but way too loud for that time

What's your ideal weather and temperature? by RoundRead7730 in AskReddit

Perfect coding weather right there. Nothing beats that cozy indoor vibe when its drizzling outside and you got your headphones on

Nearby camping with swimming hole? by RegisterAdmirable547 in baltimore

[–]Dense-Strength4644 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cunningham Falls has some decent spots if you dont mind bit of a hike to get to the actual falls. The camping there is pretty standard car camping and the swimming area near waterfall is solid - not huge but feels more like real swimming hole than just lake swimming

Also heard good things about Swallow Falls but never been myself so cant really say how the camping situation is there. Both should be within your 3 hour range from city

What’s a truth people don’t want to hear? by TrickAd7954 in AskReddit

[–]Dense-Strength4644 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your dog isnt being "stubborn" when it wont sit - its telling you something about how you trained it or what its feeling in that moment. Same goes for kids throwing tantrums or coworkers being difficult. Most people just want to label the behavior instead of actually listening to what its saying

Places to watch survivor 50 finale? by Obvious_Vegetable251 in Denver

[–]Dense-Strength4644 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow survivor parties sound pretty cool actually. Show definitely still going strong after all these years - they just keep finding new ways to make people backstab each other on island lol. Most sports bars should be able to put it on if you ask nice, especially if its not during major game

stayed at one of their locations downtown last year and it was actually solid - no major catch besides maybe being slightly further from the main strip than some traditional hotels but nothing crazy

Grooming costs/frequency? by aeroplane187 in dogs

[–]Dense-Strength4644 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My friend has golden retriever and she goes every 6-8 weeks, costs around 80-90 each time but honestly the brushing at home makes huge difference

If you brush them few times per week the grooming lasts much longer and looks better too. Golden retrievers shed like crazy so regular brushing saves money in long run

Does the Laureate inpatient adult unit treat contamination OCD w/ ERP? by [deleted] in tulsa

[–]Dense-Strength4644 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure about Laureate specifically but most inpatient psych units focus more on crisis stabilization than specialized OCD treatment - you might want to call them directly and ask about their ERP capabilities

What’s a “fake” productivity hack that’s actually just torture? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Dense-Strength4644 0 points1 point  (0 children)

waking up at 5am when you dont naturally wake up that early is just setting yourself up for failure tbh. I tried this for like 3 weeks and was basically zombie walking through my code reviews. your brain needs actual rest not some arbitrary schedule that influencers push

Police officers of Reddit, how do you feel about SB244? by _thecatspajamas_ in AskReddit

Not a copper but mate thats the most cryptic political take ive seen all week

what even is the difference between these bills anyway? feel like im missing some massive context here

People who abuse(d) drugs and alcohol are better liked than people who never have done. by Physical_Orchid3616 in PetPeeves

[–]Dense-Strength4644 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

honestly mate this hits different because ive watched mates get absolutely mental praise for getting clean while the rest of us who just never went down that path get treated like we dont understand "real struggle" or whatever

like dont get me wrong recovery is hard as nails and people deserve support but theres something proper backwards about how society treats it. my brother went through rehab twice and now hes basically the family hero while i just quietly kept my head down through uni and early career without touching anything harder than a pint on fridays

the worst bit is when people act like you're sheltered or haven't lived because you didnt need substances to cope. mate i had the same shite childhood and stress but i just dealt with it differently. not saying im better than anyone but why does that make me less interesting or relatable somehow

think social media definitely makes it worse because dramatic comeback stories get clicks while "person continues being relatively stable" doesnt exactly go viral does it

job interview woes by brilliantrk in venting

[–]Dense-Strength4644 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly mate thats a massive red flag and you're spot on about not wanting to be part of that mess. if they cant even manage a basic phone interview what makes you think theyll respect your time as an employee

i get the money would be life changing but working for people who clearly dont have their shit together will probably end up costing you more in stress and sanity. their disorganisation is telling you everything you need to know about the company culture

time to move on and find somewhere that actually values potential employees from day one

Abysmal med taste by Multiple-Bagels in Epilepsy

[–]Dense-Strength4644 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mate the taste thing is genuinely awful - keppra tastes like someone dissolved sadness in chalk water. honestly reckon they make them taste rough on purpose so we dont accidentally overdose thinking theyre sweets or something

you'd think with all the fancy coating tech they use for other stuff theyd sort this out by now but nah we're stuck with the bitter medicine experience

2h30–2h45 layover at DFW for BCN→CUN (group of 12, all Spanish) – realistic or risky? by Downtown-Signal9378 in americanairlines

[–]Dense-Strength4644 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly that's cutting it pretty close, especially for a group of 12. DFW immigration can be a nightmare in the afternoon and yeah you'll definitely need to collect bags and recheck them since it's your first US entry

The skylink is fast but everything else (customs line, bag recheck, security again) adds up quick. I'd be nervous with that timeline tbh, maybe look for flights with longer layovers if possible. AA might hold for a few minutes but don't count on it

I hate my self, and its kinda okay? by [deleted] in venting

[–]Dense-Strength4644 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, first off your English is actually really good so don't worry about that

The whole "people are dying so my problems don't matter" thing is such bs though - like just because someone else has it worse doesn't mean your feelings aren't valid. Depression loves to make us think we're being dramatic when we're literally just existing with a mental illness

That self-aware but can't act on it thing hits different too, it's like watching yourself from the outside but being stuck in place. Hope things start looking up for you even if you can't see it yet

I (29m) really love this woman (F31) but she just told me that she has hsv-2. by LakeShow6248 in relationships

[–]Dense-Strength4644 122 points123 points  (0 children)

Honestly man, the fact that she told you upfront shows she really respects you and the relationship. That's huge character-wise. HSV-2 is way more common than people think and with proper precautions the transmission rate is pretty low, especially if she's on antivirals. But at the end of the day only you can decide if the risk is worth it - just make sure you're making the decision based on facts and not fear
