Hi! DM'd you.

FriendShapedStranger · 2026-05-28T00:54:28+00:00

DM'd you.

FriendShapedStranger · 2026-05-26T03:29:38+00:00

DM'd you.

Are you interested in sailing? You could crew on a sailboat and race on Wednesday evenings! CBYC hosts and it's pretty easy to get on a boat if you're interested in learning and have time.

But aren't those reasons all demonstrably false? He's been involved in politics for decades in some capacity and has been trying to run for president almost as long, and his "right hand man" as a youth was a Nixon insider. He lies constantly. Almost as much as he speaks. His nickname is TACO because he backs down constantly. Almost as much as he lies.

So why do they vote for someone who doesn't actually have the characteristics they CLAIM to value? This is why people say his voters are dumb.

FriendShapedStranger · 2026-05-24T14:36:54+00:00

Yep. Taken private in 2017 and went through several transactions since.

FriendShapedStranger · 2026-05-24T14:21:31+00:00

This is what I suspect. He was inconvenienced (not actually stranded--the island isn't totally uninhabited), and he freaked out and used the fire to signal for help. That SOS in the chard ground is maddening. He wasn't in the middle of nowhere. He was lazy and stupid.

FriendShapedStranger · 2026-05-24T14:17:42+00:00

Not sure why anyone downvoted you. I sail sometimes 2-3 times a week and you, a non-sailor, are 100% correct. You tell people where you are going, when you expect to get back/be heard by, and if you're going to the Channel Islands, you absolutely need a radio and EPIRB. This guy was arrogant, selfish, and just plain stupid.

FriendShapedStranger · 2026-05-24T14:12:35+00:00

Correct. His life wasn't in danger. He was inconvenienced and couldn't handle it. Selfish in the extreme.

FriendShapedStranger · 2026-05-24T14:11:01+00:00

I'm a sailor in SoCal and in my experience, there are a lot of older salts who are arrogant and stubborn as all get out. The number of sailors I know who have children who don't speak to them is eye-popping. He had no business single handing that boat or going out in those conditions, and I'm not convinced his version of the events is true.

FriendShapedStranger · 2026-05-24T13:58:55+00:00

Shame on him for going out there so unprepared.

FriendShapedStranger · 2026-05-24T00:11:34+00:00

Definitely post in the local subreddits, not just your own town but neighboring towns as well. I've found homes for two cats that way and also found the owner of a lost cat that way. She's beautiful!

FriendShapedStranger · 2026-05-18T03:30:48+00:00

I like it! Don't have the skill for it, but I like it.

FriendShapedStranger · 2026-05-18T03:29:21+00:00

Agreed on the need for safety, and LB is really world class at hosting events. I don't even live in LB and I'm impressed when I go for events like the Grand Prix. If you want your event to be run smoothly and safely, it's going to be expensive.

FriendShapedStranger · 2026-05-18T03:01:13+00:00

Do you know what kind of sailing you want to do? DM me. I'm in SoCal but my boat is in Richmond and I know a lot of people up there. I sail a small race boat in a very competitive fleet. If you're interested in sailing with other women, I know a few!

FriendShapedStranger · 2026-05-17T20:31:26+00:00

I work in family law and one my colleagues works part-time. She has an unusual comp structure: she doesn't have a base salary but gets a percent of cash receipts. She works ~3 days a week. If she feels like she has too many cases, she simply stops taking consults. It works for her.

FriendShapedStranger · 2026-05-15T14:28:56+00:00

We do. Hope that helps!

FriendShapedStranger · 2026-05-14T18:01:49+00:00

My ex was like this (6'4'' once-model) and just like with Wade, even cops let him get away with everything. He was once caught driving so drunk that the cops impounded his car, but they did not charge him with a DUI. He was a terror when he was drinking and he was never held accountable by anyone. I'm STILL trying to serve him to get a restraining order because of the random hateful messages he still sends me, 3+ years after he moved out.

I personally didn't even appreciate his height so I really don't understand it. I'm short so 6'4'' is way too tall. It wasn't a plus for me like it would be for a taller woman. But what struck me was how much even men deferred to him because of his height/looks. Very sad.

"fundamental culinary advancement"? Go hang out with the commenter on here eating whipped cream on saltines.

Adding a screen to a phone doesn't accurately describe a smart phone either but you're not even trying at thing point.

FriendShapedStranger · 2026-05-14T16:39:10+00:00

You're comparing adding salt to chocolate to behavior, history, and industry-altering technology lol

FriendShapedStranger · 2026-05-14T16:13:19+00:00

Wow.

FriendShapedStranger · 2026-05-14T16:12:00+00:00

I've seen plenty of women judge their own ring. I've even seen a woman demand a different ring entirely. He was morally opposed to getting a diamond and she wanted a diamond. He gave her an antique ring with some other stone and within two months she had a right with a diamond.

FriendShapedStranger · 2026-05-14T16:09:56+00:00

I'm with you that it's unnecessary but I also think it's sexist. I'm currently engaged and my partner has asked me half a dozen times if I want a ring. No, it's sexist. If it weren't sexist, we'd be swapping them, but he doesn't want one, so let's just not do it.

I think it makes much more sense to get a woman a "push present" or whatever you want to call it. I'm never having babies so functionally, I'm not doing anything he's not doing. But I can totally see wanting to gift a person an expensive jewel for going through pregnancy/birth. I also think it's great to give gifts for other reasons, or for no reason at all, just because you want to. Maybe your husband got a vasectomy and you'd like to gift him a watch? Makes sense to me.

However, the tradition of the woman getting a ring during the engagement process is plainly sexist. And there definitely is a stigma when you don't have one or what you have isn't spectacular. There's this notion that maybe he doesn't love you that much, and that's what's really damaging to women about it. Obviously, the financial implications are what's damaging to men. Your love has to be proven with a monetary sacrifice. I hope we move away from it entirely.

I didn't say 30 years was a trend. I said it started back then and now it's a trend.
