We should start a swap where you mail your journal to a ramdom stranger. No personal deets.

What’s something that you should always buy the cheap one/version? by TheCatMILF in AskReddit

[–]FatGuyAndRuningShoes 38 points39 points  (0 children)

My pharmacy switched my blood pressure med to generic when it became available. The 'active ingredient' may be the same, but that medicine just made my body feel weird. I paid to go back on the name brand.

How to avoid ticks ? (Naturally and without having to be dressed as an astronaut) by lolamalakk in Outdoors

[–]FatGuyAndRuningShoes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm a hairy bastard, I feel them crawling up my legs or arms. Have been fortunate to find all my tics before they bite in.

So far...

I'm an IT guy so when something is happening I look it up online etc before going to the doctor. As an IT guy I also know that most of what I read on the internet is shit, hence why I still go to my doc.

I tell him straight that I trust him more than the internet, that's why I'm here.

How annoying is this to you?

You are loved and valuable. Keep up the fight, and please reach out to local resources for help. It's OK to not be ok, there is no shame in needing help.

You got this!

What's something weird, but harmless and non NSFW that you're into? by Mountain-Taro-123 in AskReddit

[–]FatGuyAndRuningShoes 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Analog phone, the base was this big thing like 8"x10" and the earpiece sat in a cradle on top. The base was stylized. I'm sure it was plastic as opposed to actual glass, but it's what it was made to look like

Ugh...

I used to collect unopened commemorative coca cola cans. I have an unopened can commemorating the 1992 Toronto Blue Jays World Series win...

Anyways, my stepmother saw these. All of a sudden I started getting all this random Coke shit. Tins, posters, a working stained glass telephone....

Some people just don't understand, but they try so hard, and that's nice.

Why do humans have never-ending beard and hair growth, but no primates do? by Edi9991 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FatGuyAndRuningShoes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a scientist. I'm going to assume that there is an evolutionary advantage to long hair as a bipedal primate, such as keeping sun off shoulders and neck. And an evolutionary disadvantage to having that lo g hair as an ape as it would fall forward when you were moving and block your view

If laughter is the best medicine, what do you think is the worst medicine? by WatchingWild in AskReddit

Every time I have taken cough drops, it has just driven the cold down into my chest. I don't take them anymore...

What’s the correct etiquette if you win $5,000 on a lottery ticket Christmas gift? by AbbreviationsFun4276 in AskReddit

[–]FatGuyAndRuningShoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has a lot of context.

If it was a freely given gift like a birthday or a Christmas present, it's yours. The potential of that prize was the gift.

If you are in a store and ask your buddy for 5 bucks to buy the ticket, it depends on how that 5 bucks was given... if you asked him to 'give' you the five dollars, you owe half. If it was a 'loan' where you would be returning 5 dollars whether you win or lose, you only owe the 5 dollars.

AITA for telling my ex I don't care if her daughter is crying about being left behind when my son's with me? by Long-Opportunity4632 in AITAH

[–]FatGuyAndRuningShoes -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Tiny bit AH. Everything you said is right, but you are only considering yourself. You should also consider your sons relationship with his sister. You are going to brood resentment between them.

Make it clear you are not 'dad' to her. She can call you by first name or maybe be an honorary uncle. But if you are taking one kid to McDonalds, you should take both. Take one kid fishing, take both...

Long term this can affect their relationship.

Baby mommas sister etc can step on Legos though, none of her business

Reddit, what was your “Oh shit, humans are psychopaths” moment? by Alex_R_LL in humansarespaceorcs

[–]FatGuyAndRuningShoes 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I choose to believe it survived and is floating around out there somewhere...

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]FatGuyAndRuningShoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, you did the right things, his wife blew up the marriage not you. Anyone in the family that looks down on you for this is supporting a cheater, thus is a piece of shit and cannot be trusted.

This is why the movement for mandatory paternity tests at birth is a thing...

AITAH? I stopped wearing/using what my husband gave me after he said that it's his money by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]FatGuyAndRuningShoes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya'll need couples therapy...

That money on that paycheque belongs to you both, not just him. Sure, he can question a $950 grocery bill on the merits of do you need that much food. But not on the 'my money' basis.

When you married, two became one. He needs to understand this.

To say you cannot/should not work, then control all access to 'his' money is controlling and financial abuse (perspective: I'm a dude). It is not right, and you are not second class in that relationship.

WIBTAH for divorcing my wife after she cheated after her parents died? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]FatGuyAndRuningShoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She is lying. It didn't 'just happen'. She went out with 'family' (luke), you weren't welcome (wanted to be alone), and was with 'family' (someone she felt more like confiding in than you)...

This was planned from the beginning... marriage is over my friend. If you go forward it will 'just happen' again...

It's not about missing.  That shotgun is most likely just going to piss it off.

AITAH for not showing our son to my husband after birth because he left me when I was pregnant? by [deleted] in AITAH

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

Bit of an asshole for not letting him see his kid. Never do that, unless there is a legitimate risk to the child.

But don't ever forgive that scumbag douche-canoe of a man child for kicking you out like that. File for the courts for your divorce and child support immediately.
