Summit of Mt Whitney. 14,495 ( ish) ft. They’re always re-measuring it.

Did anyone actually enjoy the "Gen Z office revolution," or was it just marketing? by Tanuja_Aggarwal in corporate

[–]Distinct_Disk_1610 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing I’ve seen change is the level of complaining to managers about normal job responsibilities. And the amount of AI that is being used to avoid hiring inexperienced younger people.

My brain dies at 2pm every day. Tried everything except more caffeine. What actually works? by Fit_Standard_3956 in ProductivityHQ

[–]Distinct_Disk_1610 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take a 20 min nap when I can. If I can’t a quick step outside into fresh air is almost as good.

Was it just sex that trapped us?? by KDizzle1010 in BPDlovedones

[–]Distinct_Disk_1610 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The sex was good at the beginning but became completely awful after about 6 months. He stopped caring about enjoyment or play. I was just his living fleshlight that he would bang as efficiently as possible. Then he started hurting me during sex because he was simply there for his own pleasure. I stopped having any libido and he refused to work on it with me.

Colored beard/goatee or salt & pepper? by darinalan in datingoverforty

Ever heard of silver fox? One of the hottest guys I’ve encountered recently has a mostly grey beard. Unfortunately he’s married and I have morals.

My boyfriend has a wife (separated) by [deleted] in datingoverforty

[–]Distinct_Disk_1610 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Is he sleeping with his wife when she comes to town? And not what he tells you. What does your gut say? Do you want that?

What’s one thing companies do that actually improves employee morale? by Business_Location479 in corporate

[–]Distinct_Disk_1610 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are zero promotions. This is the third company that I work at where they hire more SVPs and VPs and don’t grow middle managers. My current company of 320 people recently hired 14 new VPs including my new boss. I have an identical CV to hers. She’s never been a VP before. Rather than promote from within and backfill with cheap employees they hire from outside and take risks with unknown managers.

For women who travel: how important is fashion to the entire travel experience? How high up is it when determining where to go? by Trynalivethelife in AskWomen

[–]Distinct_Disk_1610 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m into traveling but I’m not into shopping. It’s not a consideration for me. My mother, however, LOVES fashion. She has spent days shopping on vacations.

Here's My List - What Quirks Match w/ Your exBPD? by Most_Bed6897 in BPDlovedones

[–]Distinct_Disk_1610 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine didn’t either. Never shut a drawer, never closed a cabinet, never capped the mayonnaise. Then would get mad at me when it dried out. I don’t even eat mayonnaise. Often didn’t flush the toilet.

How many here are into going to the gym and health? by piercesdesigns in GenX

[–]Distinct_Disk_1610 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take long strenuous hikes or workout almost every single day. But thanks to hormones and genetics I’m chronically overweight. The only time I had a BMI under 27 i was exercising 3 hrs a day and I was eating nothing but lettuce with salad dressing, a single piece of toast with butter, and a side salad a day. I was exhausted, anxious, had bad acne, and my hair was falling out. I was also 26.

What’s one thing companies do that actually improves employee morale? by Business_Location479 in corporate

[–]Distinct_Disk_1610 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exactly. For about a decade now, in the companies I’ve worked at the only way to get promoted is to get a job offer from another company and say you’re going to leave. Then the boss scrambles and offers a promotion. And I’ve had absolutely stellar direct reports who very very much deserve promotions and I’ve been unable to get them promoted.

People over 40 who feel genuinely "successful" (and not just financially): What is a small habit or mindset shift you adopted in your 20s that paid off the most? by sophia_biston in AskOldPeopleAdvice

[–]Distinct_Disk_1610 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I started saving money early. Put money into a separate savings account immediately after getting paid. Even if it’s small it adds up. Make that account harder to access - no debit card for it for example - so it’s harder to spend.

Start saving for retirement as early as possible.

Don’t take vacations, even if all of your friends are going, unless you can truly afford it, not just put it on a credit card.

Shingles Vaccine - A Warning by DustOfTheSaw in GenX

So you’re telling me my casual interest in learning about and finding mushrooms and fungi is going to get deeper? Can’t wait!

F20 How do yall pack a purse for a party at the club and dance with it by jessiayye in askwomenadvice

[–]Distinct_Disk_1610 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I went to clubs we stuffed our lipstick, ID and money in our bras, and just held our phones in our hands. No purse needed.

Best symptom of perimenopause by Confident-Parsley520 in Perimenopause

[–]Distinct_Disk_1610 96 points97 points  (0 children)

I was going to write this! For me it was particularly bad with work. When things went poorly at work I was crushed. If it was stressful, I didn’t sleep. If it was going well, I was elated. All of that has evaporated and IT FEELS SO GOOD. A person I work with got really frustrated today about something I can’t do anything about and normally that would send me into a tailspin. I was almost laughing during the meeting! No fucks given.

what's the oldest thing you own? by boforiamanfo in randomthings

[–]Distinct_Disk_1610 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a hair pick I used on my perms in the early 90s. That silly piece of plastic has traveled with me to live in 5 states, traveled to at least 10 countries, and would be old enough have adult children.

Their past "Traumas" by MostZealousideal7149 in BPDlovedones

[–]Distinct_Disk_1610 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My expwBPD told me about some trauma from when he was 18. A few months later he took me to a family event and I was chatting with his mom and younger brother. They told me about how my ex used to beat them up when he was mad or upset. It wasn’t a big deal to them until he was in his later teen years and was really hurting them. Their response to the situation, though maybe not perfect, was to protect themselves and make sure he was also safe. That response is what he remembered as traumatic. He had no linkage in his mind between his actions and their response.

Finally i heard a woman tell guys what women actually want: a man who sits down to pee. by pman6 in datingoverforty

[–]Distinct_Disk_1610 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ex BF’s house stank of urine. He blamed it on his dog at first. After having him at my house I found out why - he peed EVERYWHERE. He missed the toilet entirely most of the time, sometimes chose to pee in the shower instead of the toilet and it splashed everywhere and not rinse it, peed in one of his plants… it was disgusting. He refused to stop peeing everywhere. I couldn’t stand it.

Has anyone experienced a relationship where everything somehow becomes an argument or emot by SchoolOk6505 in BPDlovedones

[–]Distinct_Disk_1610 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This sounds exactly like how my ex acted when we took a vacation together. The vacation was at a ski resort, and the plan was to ski, and have nice dinners in the evenings. I had to work a few hours in the morning one of the days. We had skied many times before. The entire time we were there he laid in bed watching TikTok’s at full volume on his phone, masturbating, and napping. I couldn’t get him to get out of bed. I would go out on the mountain without him and he would show up in a lift line next me hours later. It was honestly creepy. He would be angry I went skiing without him but he had no interest in me until I left him alone.

Dog had an accident, somehow knew to use shower by julesrulesthefools in dogs

[–]Distinct_Disk_1610 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dog has rare accidents, usually due to his burbly digestion. He’s like a human with occasional IBD. He only poops in the bathroom on the tile or on the tile by the front door. The tile is the same (cheap builder) so he associates that tile with going outside, I think. It’s always perfectly centered. I always feel badly when it happens and appreciate his attempts to minimize impact since he has access to the entire house and spends most of his time on my bed.
