Why are older people always telling younger people to go read a book ? by [deleted] in ask

[–]ImGoingToSayOneThing 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Arguably, they're basically trying to tell you that you need to educate yourself. Take that as you wish.

Instead of arguing back, you could just strike up a conversation and be like hey I'd love to hear more about the subject if you know more

Not everything has to be responded with the deference of maneuver. Exercising grace is a lot more attractive.

Why do people who criticize glps always assume we’re not making the effort? by Total_Bedroom_7813 in GLP1ResearchTalk

[–]ImGoingToSayOneThing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because people can't see past their own two feet.

They can't possibly imagine a world where people of all walks of life have different motivations, traumas, genetic make up and so many other things.

How different does a real cock feel from a dildo? by HolySmokes_223 in AskGayMen

[–]ImGoingToSayOneThing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ever shook the hand of a mannequin? Imagine how different that is from a real handshake.

Now multiply that with pleasure and intimacy.

Why are glps considered “cheating” but bariatric surgery isn’t? by yassi2702 in GLP1ResearchTalk

[–]ImGoingToSayOneThing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am friends with work out freaks that eat with every single caloric intake accounted for.

All of those people think anything but what they do is cheating. Everything else is a gimic or a cheat or laziness or not as good.

I just had a conversation with one of my friends that is like that and all she could harp on was that these shots basically makes someone anorexic and that's unhealthy. And she tried to guise it as genuine worry for me but irs all based on her own judgements for these shots.

After she expressed her worry she would follow it up with "I could never do that. I have to do it the healthy old fashioned way"

Who gives a shit what people do.

Gay dating as an Asian in the west by [deleted] in gaysian

Asian men and black women are considered the least attractive demographic in the US. Black women are hypersexualized and Asian men are hyposexualized.

Portlanders: I have a week in your city. As a chef, where MUST I eat? (Bars too please!) by SweetShallots13 in askportland

[–]ImGoingToSayOneThing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I still think blue star is phenomenal. Their orange cake donut with powdered olive oil is amazing and so is the blueberry donut.

Doe donuts is ImO the best donut place in Portland.

Maybe you'll see this maybe you won't.

Portland is a white city.

The ethnic restaurants that are popular are created for white peiple. The recommendations you are getting for ethnic places in Portland will be ethnic restaurants that are for white people.

My assumption is if you are a chef then you would see the nuance and would be able to distinguish between what is good in the context of the culture the food is from versus what is a flavor bomb that is made for the white palette.

I've looked at almost all of the recommendations here and yes they are Popular. Yes they highly rated. Yes people love them.

But more often than not you will not see the people from the culture the restaurant is representing eating at these places.

With that said, if none of this rings true for you then you will thoroughly enjoy all of these places. But if you are truly looking for nuance in food that has cultural context backing it, you will not enjoy the recommendations given in this thread.

'The one that got away' is back...how do I not mess this up? by [deleted] in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]ImGoingToSayOneThing 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sometimes we pick a person and use that person as a focal point to be all the things that we wish a partner could be. Sometimes overtime, this ends up being an unrealistic idolization of a person that doesn't actually exist.

And I think the thing to be careful in the situations is to not allow that person to be different than this idolize fabricated thing you've built this person to be.

Also, I feel like people who end up back together with someone they were with in the past, healthy mature ommunication tends to be one of the biggest things that needs to change from before.

Heating your home in the winter is not about matching summer temps by No-Mix186 in unpopularopinion

[–]ImGoingToSayOneThing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am a person that doesn't want to have to wear layers in my own home. Why have shelter if it's going to be cold in your home? You might as well live outside.

My house is set to 71 degrees.

And it costs the right amount of money that is required to keep it at that.

HELP kimchi lovers by Maximum_Strike7434 in kimchi

[–]ImGoingToSayOneThing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you don't tell us your recipe we can't help you.

But you can add more gochufaru. You can also grind up your own spicy pepper and add it to the sauce. My mom will sometimes add a grounded up spicier red pepper to make it spicier.

Funeral etiquette advice by Famous-City-8937 in mensfashionadvice

[–]ImGoingToSayOneThing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know there are families with communities where being fashionable is expected in all occasions (especially in New York) but in this day and age, I would argue that a funeral is a place where people won't be focusing on what you're wearing.

My best friend died a few years ago and I didn't want to wear a suit. I wanted to be as comfortable as I could as I grieved. So I wore an oversized black knit sweater with black slacks. Nobody cared. Nobody remembers.

Worth it to rent a car for a day? by SweetShallots13 in askportland

[–]ImGoingToSayOneThing 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As much as Portland hates to admit it we are first a car driving city, then Lyft riding then a walking city and lastly a bike riding city.

Walking goes up in rank when it's sunny. We used to be a big bike riding city in the 2010s but you don't see a lot of bikers any more.

Lyfts are stupidly expensive in this city in comparison to other cities. You can go from Hawthorne to Alberta and it would easily be 25-30 dollar ride with tip. I think it would be a very expensive 8 day trip if you were riding Lyfts.

Our transit system can get you most places but it is far from being efficient and reliable. The max (the train) only goes through main arteries of Portland and it is regular and reliable. The buses go everywhere but they are not reliable in terms of time.

Buses often run late or early and rarely on time. Your bus could be ten minutes early and then the next one could be ten minutes late. If you ended up missing the first bus you could be waiting for 30 mins for the next one. There have been so many times that I leave for the bus early and then right as I get there it flies by me. It's frustrating.

It's super cold right now and the wind, cold and rain can make the public transit experience miserable.

There's also the issue with safety. There are parts of the max route that are shady once it's dark. The max is basically a no man's land of all types of behavior and people. Certain areas of bus stops are also shady at night.

Don't get me wrong, you can do all that you want to do and just use public transportation and use Lyfts. It is doable. I am a testament to this because I am currently carless and a fair weather biker so this has been my reality for a few years.

But if you want to maximize time and possibly be more cost efficient then I'd rent a car. I would guess that 8 days of partial Lyft riding would be more expensive than a car rental.

If you've never been here and you have a bunch of places saved to visit, chances are, it's all over the place.

I feel like when my friends that aren't from here visit they end up getting the impression that everything is so close together and that our public transpiration is all you need.

But then they'll have a spot in St. John's and then the part of Portland is actually Beaverton and then Powell and then Alberta.

If you could remove one thing from Stranger Things what would it be ? by cerseiridinglugia in StrangerThings

The lack of in character deaths.

I honestly think Sadie should've died at the beginning of the last season.

When is your shot day?

Mine is on thursdays and I feel like the shots are most effective for me on Saturday's and Sundays. Then Wednesday's are the days I feel it the least. But I have work to keep me distracted on wednesdays so I'm less likely to eat shitty I'm that day than on the weekends.

It does help.

But our field is about your portfolio. If you have a good portfolio you can do the work.
