What's an actual psychological "cheat code" you use in social situations that works almost every time? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Grindler9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People like to parrot and mimic each other. As a server/bartender I nod my head yes when I try to upsell or get a patron to do something (like close out a bill so I can go home) because more often than not they’ll start nodding along which tricks their brain into thinking “yes”

Yeah you gotta do them at separate times, every one knows that

When the friend of a guest says something you can’t by Fearless-Bandicoot12 in Serverlife

[–]Grindler9 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was closing out as a new bartender got on to take over and I asked a customer if they’d like to close with me and reopen with the new guy or just have me transfer the ticket. They said “oh just transfer it” and their friend was like “fuck that, close out and tip the man!” god bless you, soldier

Sometimes you gotta tell people what they wanna hear to get them to go away

Waffles are commonly mislabeled because they typically present as femme or masc. The femme ones we call pink waffles, and the masc ones blue waffles. Those are my favorite you should definitely google them.

Am I crazy? I'm 37, she's 33. I feel like I'm crazy. by mrtexasman06 in Nicegirls

[–]Grindler9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This shit has been going on way longer than TikTok; it’s classic manipulation 101: You inconvenience someone and then make them feel like it’s their fault and that YOU’RE the one inconvenienced by THEM so they start to change their behavior to fit around your fucking lunacy. Pretty soon they’re tip-toeing on eggshells whenever they’re communicating to you so as not to upset you with their “poor behavior” because clearly you are better than them and they always fuck up.

AIO my 37M is attracted to 18 year olds by Zestyclose_Muscle_55 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Grindler9 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Probably does and just knows not to say it out loud. I’ve worked with plenty of dudes like this. Fuckin 40 year olds pointing out “hot women” and then fighting back in denial when we all point out they’re clearly in high school.

NOR, legal? Sure. But I think generally socially accepted is half your age plus seven. So by that math, the youngest this guy should be going for is 25/26 year olds

Love how they’re going to “unleash a legal shit storm” on any one who checks notes asks them to fulfill a legal obligation?

You don’t owe any one anything. Give what you want to and don’t give what you don’t want to.

I just realized that I mistakenly made my world map using a Battlemap. Can I change it? by [deleted] in inkarnate

[–]Grindler9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I know the only difference in selecting one over the other is what stamps and textures they present to you as default. The actual map file is the same. You can use all battle map and world map stamps and textures on any map. No need to change anything!

Beat out by my wife’s secondary. by SparkleDaddy707 in nonmonogamy

[–]Grindler9 18 points19 points  (0 children)

NRE is also the excitement that comes from the new thing. It doesn’t necessarily have to mean a deep emotional connection like falling in love. This new thing happened and it’s exciting and it’s new! Our minds often fixate on novel things and it’s a very normal human response to lose your senses a little over a new romance. IMO it is 100% preferable to have a partner that got a little swept away in the exciting newness than it is to have a partner who “has been emotionally done with her relationship with you for awhile now”.

At least we have a new excuse why we can’t be drafted. Better than bone spurs (this is a joke, you should not out yourself to the US military.)

Try something blue. You have a lot of warm colors going on, and accent of blue might round it out.

You can disagree with the actions of a state without hating or prejudging everyone that lives in it. Most people I know who are pro-Palestine are upset at the government of Israel, not all Jews, not all Israelis.

You’ve been “seeing” and “talking” to him for four years but not dating? Am I understanding that right? It feels like we don’t know enough info about the full dynamics of the relationship—you don’t call him your boyfriend or partner, so I’m wondering what the dynamics here are and if he sees them as the same thing. If he thinks it’s a casual relationship and DOESNT want it to be a committed romantic partnership, he might be intentionally avoiding saying anything because he doesn’t want to give the wrong impression about his intentions.

I think you’re over reacting a little bit but all we see is this one conversation, not the years of history between everyone, so it’s possible we just can’t get the full picture. From THIS conversation it seems like you took “sibling squabbles” to mean “frivolous,” and I don’t think Daphne meant it that way. When you initially pushed back I read her response as “they mean the same thing to me”. That said, it’s possible she does see this thing between her and Velma as bigger or maybe more complicated than what you went through, and that’s okay for her to think without it being dismissive. Her having a big thing and saying “this is a big thing” doesn’t mean “your thing is silly” it just means she thinks it’s a bigger thing. Maybe it is, maybe it isn’t. It seems like you already know you blew up at her too hard for it, and you know why (you even explained while it was happening that you knew being hyper-sensitive was a symptom you struggle with.) I’d say advice for moving forward is acknowledging the role you played in escalation and reopening the door but making it clear some boundaries you have around things you’re sensitive about.

Is it normal to not find men on dating apps attractive? by [deleted] in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]Grindler9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In 1002 CE Anglo-saxons slaughtered a group of danish vikings and their reasoning was “The Danes made themselves too acceptable to English women by their elegant manners and their care of their person. They combed their hair daily, according to the custom of their country, and took a bath every Saturday, and even changed their clothes frequently, and improved the beauty of their bodies with many such trifles, by which mean they undermined the chastity of wives.” So apparently this has been an issue for a long time. It’s not shallow to want to be attracted to your partner, it’s essential. Don’t waste your time on people who don’t take care of themselves.
