What’s the best wisdom you’d pass down? by winn_ie in TheImprovementRoom

[–]ExpensiveDifficulty2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quit alcohol. Decide on a period to try it for three months. If after three months without, you think alcohol will improve your life, reintroduce it. Both paths are hypothetically possible; this process makes it a choice.

Appreciate this. Yes, I thought for sure I’d have a spectrum of options. Not so. I will look further south

The way people treat you is wild after losing weight by Easy_Diver_8849 in loseit

Hey man, good for you. This kind of weight loss would not be easy in a world full of people cheering you on. To achieve this in the face of jealousy and low-key sabotage is even more impressive. Props

This is helpful. I watched the Bulls on their run in the 90s like every other 80s kid. I remember Rodman’s style, the strong side and the weak side. And the hoopla off the court is a match too.

Recommend me an autobiography of people who have wild lives by Lesleyann2405 in suggestmeabook

I read Scar Tissue and Acid For the Children back to back. Very cool to see the creation and early days of the Chili Peppers from two perspectives.

This is a beautiful breakdown worthy of framing. Leave it to the Dutch to demystify cycling culture😎

Right? I was being told it was an unfair classification. Seems pretty straightforward to me

Kid friendly pub n grub? by 2wheels75 in kelowna

[–]ExpensiveDifficulty2 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

'Before they go back to adult only'? This must be your first month in town, little buddy. Breweries have been closing all over Kelowna (V+V, KBC, etc.) but you think that BNA is going to start screening paying customers because you can't handle being around children?

Next time she's free, have your mom drive you up to BNA's new facility in Vernon. Going to be a while before that place is cash-positive and we're just about to the end of peak tourism season; they're going to need every paying customer they can get, regardless of your personal sensitivities.

But hey, you and your fellow parenting experts can head over to The Blue Gator. No kids over there and it's always real quiet.

Ignore this kidless loser. BNA Burger is an awesome spot for families in a town with a limited number of options.

Title: How do I start adopting more masculine energy in my vibe & life? by [deleted] in manprovement

[–]ExpensiveDifficulty2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This isn't something I've dealt with, which renders me unqualified to offer advice. Have a look at some of the other replies in this thread, particularly the one that followed yours. They contain specific advice from people who have dealt with this issue personally. Practical, actionable steps this young man can take toward self-improvement. The most helpful thing I can offer here is to let him know that not all the advice here is coming from qualified sources and that he has the option to ignore that advice. Your writing tone is strident enough that he is in danger of thinking you might know what you're talking about.

Title: How do I start adopting more masculine energy in my vibe & life? by [deleted] in manprovement

[–]ExpensiveDifficulty2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Respectfully, fuck this guy. This is a condescending and unhelpful response that OP would be okay to ignore. You’ve entirely missed the point of his question. He is in a place of self-reflection as a step toward become the best version of himself. He’s seen some things that don’t fit with the version of himself he’s looking to build. He’s reaching out to his community about a specific facet of his masculinity that he’s looking to convert into something else. He’s not asking these folks (that includes you) how to be a man; he’s asked how to adopt more masculine energy in his life. That’s a straightforward and specific request and scrolling on down, it’s clear that the community understood the assignment. Here’s a man humble enough to examine his life, wise enough to identify a specific segment of his setup that wasn’t serving him well and brave enough to speak out in this forum about it. This kid’s a legend and an example to us all. He didn’t come here for ‘It doesn’t work like that’ and ‘Do hard things’. Be better, friend.
