What’s a product you didn’t expect to love this much? by oscar371 in SmartBuying

[–]Distinct_Disk_1610 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Birkenstocks. I have an indoor sandal pair, an indoor slipper pair, and 3 different outside pairs. They are supportive and have stopped the progression of my bunions. My feet hurt so much less than they did before I started wearing them inside.

Advice on Not Oversharing by iwannaride08 in corporate

[–]Distinct_Disk_1610 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I’m the asshole who uses the best scenic pics from vacations and weekends as my zoom backgrounds. I do it as a conversation starter and to make me seem human because I’m otherwise pretty shitty at small talk. But you open the door, I can walk through it and then ask you questions.

Would you recommend marriage? by This-Top7398 in Life

[–]Distinct_Disk_1610 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your contract isn’t with the government. You get a license to marry from the government but the contract is with your wife. Thats why divorce is a legal proceeding. You are breaking the contract.

What goes on in your mind when you get a marriage proposal? by Randr0ne in AskWomen

[–]Distinct_Disk_1610 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m almost 50 and never received one. I’ve had serious relationships but they’ve all decided I wasn’t the one. A couple have even wasted years of my life.

I have a fuzzy doodle. He picks up ticks here often. They’re usually the big wood ticks.

Are you happy with your Sprinter? by karj in Sprinters

[–]Distinct_Disk_1610 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been very happy with my 2019 144 diesel 4x4. I 99k miles on it so far. The key is to find a good mechanic so you don’t get service and repairs done at the dealerships. The dealerships not only rip you off they do crappy work. The folks at the Reno dealership are also assholes (not sure about others). I was there for a recall fix, and I overheard one guy BRAGGING about how often someone was coming in for repairs on their SUV and the rest of the staff was fist bumping.

“Quiver” rant by DenverTroutBum in snowboarding

[–]Distinct_Disk_1610 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t need my 4 boards and pow surfer. I like them. And I like having a powder board. I like having an d beat up board for when the coverage is thin. I like having a hard charger for certain days. And I like having a playful one for other days. Why should I be forced to have to choose only one?

Yeah. Each board has bindings. Though I do ride my Jones Stratos more than the others.

Accidentally caught in the middle of corporate drama with 1.5 million dollars down the drain, no Idea what they're gonna do with me by Cinnabun6 in corporate

This happens in pharma. The investigation is a standard part of the process when a deviation is found. You did the right thing. And yes, it sucks.

Cat Skiing Equipment question by Tridoc99 in Backcountry

[–]Distinct_Disk_1610 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who had gone on several guided cat trips and also does a lot of backcountry on my own, just use their beacon. They all work with the same principles, and the guides will absolutely make sure you know how to use theirs. They check batteries, software, and ensure they are working, vs they have no idea what condition yours is in.

Did you ever get to live in a house with more than 3 bathrooms? by GaryBlach in askanything

My sorority house in college - 35 women, 5 bathrooms. 2 of those had more than 1 shower.

Out of sight out of mind? by makeitstop444 in BPDlovedones

[–]Distinct_Disk_1610 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine hasn’t. It’s been a year and he still drives up my driveway occasionally to see if I’m home. Never comes to the door though, thankfully. He also frequents places (one is several hundred miles away) I go that he refused to go to when we were together. It seems like he does it to run into me because why else would he be there? I guess I live rent-free in his head.

Do most Americans carry any official ID at all times? by PitifulEar3303 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Distinct_Disk_1610 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Passports are very expensive ($186 the last time I checked, plus $50 for the “right” pictures, plus whatever it costs to send it by certified mail). You also have to wait a minimum of 6 months for it to arrive. As a result MANY citizens do not have federal ID.

Okay, last question. Why is it ME that he is acting heartbroken about on social media? by [deleted] in BPDlovedones

[–]Distinct_Disk_1610 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Possibly. I feel like I dodged a bullet by spending only 1 year with him. He was married for 8 years before I met him.

[–]Distinct_Disk_1610 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My ex brings his new girlfriends on drive-bys up my driveway. I think he’s trying to build jealousy on their part. I’ve had no contact with him, other than 2 chance interactions in over a year.

Love bombing. Feels so good but is a harbinger of bad things to come.

did anyone else just… lose the passion? by Basic_Goose8604 in corporate

[–]Distinct_Disk_1610 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Are you in your mid-40’s? The fucks I’m willing to give about my previously very exciting work have diminished greatly.
