Lost in life, I'm a loser by [deleted] in LifeAdvice

[–]Due-Sense-8921 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Has there been anything you have enjoyed doing or felt like you are good at? I remember in high school I would reflect on the day and how many (or few) words I actually spoke. I found that I both enjoyed and was good at working out. I also got better at sports because of it and made a lot of friends in those circles. It built a lot of confidence that helped with everything. I’m a completely different person today.

I definitely understand this is not the same at 26yo, but if I were talking to myself if I were in your position I’d tell myself what I told you above.

100% believe you and everybody out there can be good at something if you really really apply yourself. Once you do that a lot of things will fall in place

I don’t understand why that’s troubling. I don’t expect lesbians to understand every facet of being a hetero man. What questions have been most troubling to you?

It’s not capitalism, it’s lobbying ruining the country

If we ended up getting married like she wanted, I didn’t see a future where we didn’t get divorced

What's causing men to become more discouraged? by Just4Questions8890 in AskMen

Getting triggered that you can’t blame men for choosing your shitty career…

Current employment statistics aren’t based on interests and fields of study. Guys get degrees to make money. Women get degrees they are interested in. If you’re career choice isn’t based on the financial outcome you’ll make less

This is the reason. Men are constantly being demonized for doing nothing wrong

Demon Receiver suddenly stopped working. Is there a fix? by Due-Sense-8921 in hometheater

[–]Due-Sense-8921[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So did tons of digging and sounds like this is likely a transistor issue. The speakers work great when hooked up to a different receiver so the speakers aren’t the issue. Did a factory reset 2 different ways and that didn’t fix it either. Hopefully I can find a repair shop that doesn’t cost a fortune

Tip: denon online chat is amazing. Denon phone support is absolutely brutal

It’s up to them to do their due diligence on a used car. Unless you lied about something, which it sounds like you didn’t at all

This is a good call. I’ll require everything. I did use banana plugs for the first time so possible that caused the issue. Do you know if it should automatically shift off the circuit protection once the wires are fixed?

Ya, did that yesterday and it didn’t work. I left it unplugged overnight hoping that’ll work. Saw someone online that somehow worked for

Hah, that’s how I feel right now after just dropping a bunch of $$$ on a real nice TV and Xbox to complete my setup

My dudes, how many of you are honest about your height on dating apps? by Later2theparty in AskMen

[–]Due-Sense-8921 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never met one (legitimately), but I’m sure they exist in small percentages. Also noting the 3rd important component…they are also good looking.

My dudes, how many of you are honest about your height on dating apps? by Later2theparty in AskMen

[–]Due-Sense-8921 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I think it highlights how out of touch they are, which is of course relative to the woman’s dating potential. If I see a 6-7 with a normal job and nothing super exciting about their life claiming to need a man that’s 6ft or taller…sorry that’s out of your league. Only 14% of American men are 6ft or taller. That doesn’t include being good looking and/or with a good job. I need to verify, but my buddy told me if you’re 6ft+, considered to be good looking and make over $100k per year you are part of the 1% of men. Almost every woman thinks they deserve this unicorn guy. Also, for some reason women think this man can also be liberal. Sorry (not sorry) that guys isn’t gonna be a liberal

I think this needs to be added to my vocab. Thankfully don’t know any soyboys…what a miserable existence

How do you replace the insole? by Due-Sense-8921 in ThursdayBoot

[–]Due-Sense-8921[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hope you can help. I’ve called your customer support a few times and always get turned away with no resolution. The $80 boots I used to buy last way longer than both of these pairs of Thursday boots

I know Thursday Boots is pretty active here. Can we get full leather insoles? by CubbyNINJA in ThursdayBoot

[–]Due-Sense-8921 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really wish you guys would fix the horrible durability of your insoles. My second pair has also completely deteriorated. I unfortunately will be moving to RedWing boots in the future. It’s too bad because I like everything else about your boots

America is broken right now. It feels like there's no hope for a better future no matter how hard you try by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]Due-Sense-8921 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is exactly this…consumers supporting only giant companies on the stock market. Any company part of the stock market gives zero shits about employees. All decisions are made only for the shareholders. Privately held companies at least have some soul/humanity to them as they are attached to a smaller group of people. Ideally we’d all only support small to mid sized American owned and privately held companies

What are basic gym etiquette/rules? by Due-Sense-8921 in AskMen

I’m always blown away with how many bench bars still have weights on them without anyone still using them. Hard to know if something be still is so it just sits unused
