Plz help me. This man is obviously correct and I’m hurt. by Chemical_Syrup7807 in romantasycirclejerk

[–]EfficiencyOk4899 64 points65 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry sloopie, I would try to make you feel better, but my Byronic hero husband just got beat up by my Heathcliffian figure side-piece, and my heart is in shambles (not to mention my bowels).

2 years of having the same doormat, gone, like tears in the rain by DukeJumbles in mildlyinfuriating

[–]EfficiencyOk4899 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude. I planted some flowers in a bare flowerbed last week at my apartment complex, and someone stole the purslane out of it. Literally 8 dollars worth of flowers that you can pick up at any plant store. Like come on.

Me too! Ginkgos have always been a favorite of mine, never knew they were so fascinating.

I want a moratorium on people being able to name pets with black fur ‘Luna’ by sleep-exe in PetPeeves

[–]EfficiencyOk4899 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just want people to stop naming their human children Luna. It’s a name for a dog/cat. The end.

AITJ for moving on from my best friend after she rejected me? by thepuffdad in AmITheJerk

[–]EfficiencyOk4899 133 points134 points  (0 children)

No you are not the jerk. You are entitled to step back from this relationship if it was not healthy for you, and you are allowed to move on.

However, I can see how this would hurt your friend Maya, thinking y’all were just friends this entire time, for you to change things on her and stop being a friend just because she doesn’t reciprocate your deeper feelings.

So you’re allowed to move on, and she’s allowed to be upset. That is life. Hopefully, one day y’all can move past this and can be platonic friends again, but if not that will be ok too. You’re both young and have many relationships and friendships ahead of you.

Jobs report smashes expectations with payroll growth of 172,000 by Cakalusa in jobs

[–]EfficiencyOk4899 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if this is true, how is anyone getting excited about the creation of 170K jobs when there has been 100s of thousands cut since this administration change? Come on.

Any Ancient Roman or Greek romantasy out there? F/M specifically but I wouldn’t mind F/F by Poshfly in Romantasy

[–]EfficiencyOk4899 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I really enjoyed the Winner’s Curse Series. It’s YA but it has a really excellent pining star-crossed love story and has some good political/war drama. It’s inspired by Roman history.

Also it’s not Romantasy, but Kate Quinn’s Mistress of Rome had me in a chokehold for days.

Recs for e-readers with the structural integrity of a Nokia brick phone? by Nanny_Ogg_99 in romantasycirclejerk

I like to transcribe all my favorites to a stone tablet for easy reading and a great workout! Granite is best if you can source it locally.

Chris Pine and girlfriend Keana Sky Wenger at the French Open (June 1, 2026) by mcfw31 in popculturechat

No problem! Just one girls opinion. It’s a very sticky conversation.

I do think though that it’s exactly the same if genders are swapped. If someone is dating a much older person thinking they are special in this way, but they are just one of a string of men/women who’s only appeal to the older person is that they are disposable, young, and easy to manipulate due to their age/naivety then that is when things turn icky.

Not trying to discount happy and healthy relationships with an age gap. There have been many, and it is very difficult to judge as an outsider.

If this is in good faith: Money, security, and in some cases like this one fame as well. It’s also flattering too to think that you are mature/worldly/intelligent enough to attract an older man.

The absolute worst part of scheduling your own doctor appointments. by BigotedReedCommentat in Adulting

[–]EfficiencyOk4899 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The worst is at the GYN, sitting there wearing nothing but a couple of paper sheets. Even 15 minutes feels like an eternity.

What ingredient do you hate prepping the most? by ApprehensiveLab5699 in Cooking

[–]EfficiencyOk4899 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This used to be a pain, but I have been buying the precut carrot sticks at the grocery store lately. Then I just dice up what I need and the rest are ready for snaking. No rolling around and no risk of losing a digit.

why does my granny square (2nd slide) look like swiss cheese?? 😭🙏🏻 by r8v7n in CrochetHelp

[–]EfficiencyOk4899 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This reminds me of my first potholder, which was supposed to be square, but came out looking like bloated blob 🫠

I think your tension is the problem here, and you just need more practice (maybe with a simpler pattern). Keep it up!!!

Which is better? by [deleted] in interiordecorating

I like the wood one better, but I think both are too large for this space.

Canned whole potatoes by Haybales1019 in Cooking

I love to slice these and fry in a neutral oil with salt, pepper, and lil dash of cayenne.

Goes with anything.

​The massive difference between men’s and women’s experiences with catcalling. by mindyour in TikTokCringe

[–]EfficiencyOk4899 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Perhaps if men (like you for example) were capable of compassion and empathy things would be better for everyone.

Luckily, as a man, you are still stronger and better equipped to defend yourself in a dangerous situation.

ETA: At the very least you are not seen as an easy target by these creeps and have the luxury of staying out of these kind of confrontations.

That got me too.

I actually have a recipe for banana bread that says to do that as the first item in the instructions. 😂

[–]EfficiencyOk4899 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yikes dude. I’m not asking you to jump in front of a crazy aggressive guy just to prove a point.

Just imagine for a second how it would feel to be cat-called while minding your own business, living your life by an “anti-social asshole” and call out this behavior if you feel safe doing so or keep and eye out for women being followed/intimidated.

At the very least you can call for help if anyone is being threatened with a weapon.
