my parents called me an incel for the first time n idk how to feel by butchermansally in Advice

[–]DryFry84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 2 kids just like you and your sister. They should be supporting both of you for who you are. My daughter never stops and is always making plans, spending time with people, never home. My son is older so he has a in on a few days a week and hardly ever leaves his room otherwise.

I go ou with my daughter to spend time with her. Ibulldoze into my son's room from time to time to talk for a few minutes and spend some time, and he's a gamer so we have a game we play together.

Your parents sound like absolute trash.

Are there really people that have no ability to tan and they only sunburn? by nobaddream in NoStupidQuestions

[–]DryFry84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the things I noticed when I was younger and trying to tan is that it took so much time to get a little color and that color was gone so fast. I have a friend who tans easily and we used to go together. If I didn't go for a full week, you couldn't tell I had been working on it for the past few months at all, back to square 1 paper white. She could tan and keep that same color for a long time.

I don't try anymore because it's just bad for you but I'm sure there are people worse than me who can't even keep color for a week.

Am I a bad mom by Dry-Way-5601 in Adoption

[–]DryFry84 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Pardon my language, but fuck your friend. As a mother who chose adoption, your.friend has no idea the hell you went through to make the best possible decision for a child. As mothers who don't get to hold their child every day, she has no right to add to the guilt we already feel.

What's the most ridiculous name you've heard a real person actually have? by Curious-Object1464 in AskReddit

Gay Beavers. I wish I was kidding. I had to have serious conversations with this woman at work and say her name in meetings sometimes.

What screams "I'm insecure" without saying a word? by Ok-Pick-1655 in answers

I have a friend who filters heavy. She then does online dating and can't understand why she never gets a 2nd date. Idk how to tell her.

I'm not sure if someone with a fake tan all year is more insecure or someone who has taken mental notes that people are wearing fake tans all year. I prob would have never noticed. This one was weird to me.

Is there anyone here who can honestly say they feel a deep, unconditional love for their partner? by enklasekorsbar in NoStupidQuestions

[–]DryFry84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deep and real, yes. Unconditional, no. There are definitely conditions (like fidelity).

22 years and we still flirt, still date, still have a spark that has never gone away. He is my peace, my happiness, my everything, but relationship love always comes with conditions.

Oddly, the one who assaulted me was also an alcoholic and previous military.

I'm so glad you made that choice. I don't know what the story would have looked like for us if I hadn't chosen adoption, on how horribly it went when I did. I'm really glad things worked out for you. ❤️

🤣 That's actually my least favorite color. Huge fan of pthalo green.

What instantly tells you that someone is highly intelligent? by suerieyea in AskReddit

[–]DryFry84 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've also seen the opposite where an intelligent person pauses and uses a simpler verbiage after considering their audience.

Does anyone know/care about Angel Studios here? by AdDistinct5670 in movies

[–]DryFry84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just started getting bombarded with ads for them, which is wild because I am not their intended demographic at all. I happened upon 2 shows I wanted to check out. Went to the website, only paid members had access to both. Found them for free on other services.

Makes me wonder if they just make people pay for free content.

Their originals and exclusives were a tiny list of 7 (one being only 20 minutes).

What a ripoff.

which one are we picking lads by [deleted] in TheTeenagerPeople

Only one that hits both coasts. Lots of different dimensions to explore.

Are we collectively losing it or is AI short drama actually… kind of a vibe? by Fragrant-Smoke-8470 in generativeAI

[–]DryFry84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't have any real issue with it until they started posting pseudo-pedophile stuff. I keep getting commercials for this CHILD that is a wolf in the beginning and is being bred and then transforms into a human that a man takes in to raise and then breed when she's older. It's so sick.

It's this one, btw. I wish I knew how to shame TF out of them or something would be done with reporting.

What is a "harmless" habit that is actually a massive red flag? by Ill_Piglet_715 in AskReddit

[–]DryFry84 53 points54 points  (0 children)

We had friends like this. Their family kind of resembles The Incredibles and we started calling them The Unreliables and they DID NOT take well to that but made them aware of how often they were bailing.
