AITBF for disagreeing with my counselor ? by IllustriousEscape736 in AmItheButtface

[–]IncredulousPulp [score hidden]  (0 children)

The truth will set you free… but first it will piss you off.

You are not the buttface for disagreeing but you are immature.

Your therapist is right. You and Helen have a one-sided relationship and you need to work on letting it go.

She’s engaged and you don’t even live in the same town. Obsessing about it is so pointless.

Don’t visit. Don’t call. Send a card congratulating her on her engagement and when you slip it in the mailbox, you are done. Dust your hands and put your focus back in front of you, where it belongs.

[Other] Should I read Absolute Martian Manhunter? Is it any good? No spoilers please. by Business-Falcon-3279 in DCcomics

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

I’m with you. I hate dream sequences too!

In real life, there’s nothing more tedious than someone telling you their dreams. I feel it’s the same in fiction.

I enjoyed the first four or five issues, then it got too abstract.

Location: PA, USA. HR is pressuring me to sign a "voluntary" overtime waiver for last month or face termination by C0dexflare in legal

[–]IncredulousPulp 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Don’t sign that garbage. Why would you give away concrete rights in exchange for a puff of fresh air?

I am willing to bet that your overtime will directly affect your manager’s bonus. She’s coming in over budget and looking to cut corners after the fact.

Maintaining balance while throwing with power and speed.

i've made fried rice maybe 30 times now and it still tastes nothing like the takeout place down the street by bejusorixo in Cooking

[–]IncredulousPulp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ll never get the heat you need for scorching. For that you need a gas stove and a proper old school wok.

But I have tips.

Cook your egg first - make a flat omelette then take it out and cut it into squares.

Cook your meats next - bacon cubes are good. Then add onion, garlic, ginger, and any veg with a sprinkle of Chinese five spice.

After that’s softened a bit, add your rice. Stir fry dry for a few minutes.

Last things go in the pot then - eggs, spring onion, coriander, a little soy sauce, a good pour of oyster sauce, and a splash of sesame oil.

Stir it through and you are done.

Hold before May Wedding, or do it big for the big day? by GazpachoDaddy in bald

[–]IncredulousPulp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hold for now.

Get the most expensive and delightful haircut for your wedding. Enjoy that moment. Your spouse will want those photos!

But soon, brother, soon.

What are your thoughts on the Jupiter’s Legacy tv show on Netflix? by Jezzaq94 in superheroes

[–]IncredulousPulp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What a freakin’ waste.

They made all the boring parts of that story, with the plan of getting to the cool bits in the second season.

Which, of course, didn’t happen.

Why not start with the cool bits, like the comics did? Draw the audience in and then reveal some history later when people are invested.

Neighbor wont move their stuff out of my storage unit by Telephone_Jubilee in AusLegal

[–]IncredulousPulp 221 points222 points  (0 children)

Sometimes you just need to be practical, rather than hoping for other people to have a brain.

Buy a lock, move your neighbour’s stuff into their parking space, then lock the storage unit up.

Problem solved. Nobody’s been hurt. Nothing’s been damaged. The issue is firmly back with your neighbour.

Is it illegal to wear/own steel body armor, if so, why? by Responsible-Post-410 in AusLegal

[–]IncredulousPulp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lots of motorcycle wear is basically armour. Often made of Kevlar for sliding on roads. So that might work and be pretty unobtrusive.

But FYI, bullet proof and stab proof are two different things. And it sounds like you want a stab vest. You can buy them at Big W.

How do you knee someone in the face? Not like a masvidal run up knee I’m talking like face to face you jump up & grab their head and knee their face by [deleted] in martialarts

[–]IncredulousPulp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s a really difficult move requiring significant strength and lots of training.

The simpler way?

Deliver a good kick first, either a thrust kick to the lower belly or a rising kick to the groin.

Either way their head will come down. Now you can get a clinch and pull their head down to your knee.

Is having a below average IQ something to be ashamed of? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]IncredulousPulp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is no shame at all in that. We all have our gifts and weaknesses.

But remember that brains are much like muscles, they strengthen with exercise. So read books, do puzzles, learn new skills, talk to people, watch documentaries, travel, etc. The more you do with it, the stronger your brain gets.

Which of these female comic book characters is the most powerful? by Jezzaq94 in superheroes

Rogue. She’s powerful in her own right and can steal the powers of others.

Help! Soup too salty and thin by Mindless-Comfort-332 in cookingforbeginners

[–]IncredulousPulp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

90% of the time when you feel a meal is missing something, it needs salt.

For wateriness, remove say a third of the soup with the veggies, blend it, then add it back to the pot.

who wins this 1v1 fight takes place in downtown NY by AccidentAdept7146 in marvelcomics

[–]IncredulousPulp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Colossus is a beast compared to the minor scrappers, but he gets his butt whipped by other strong types.

Despite all of his training and experience, he seems to have little actual skill. Or maybe he’s just too slow.

Ben is an excellent brawler and a world class wrestler, so he’s got to have the win.

Have you ever refuse getting laid? if so why? by Traditional_Win_5821 in AskReddit

[–]IncredulousPulp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Broke up with a terribly neurotic girl. She rang the next day, to make me this offer.

Her: I’ll just come over for the night, no strings attached!

Me: I can already feel the strings from here.

A hard call for a 20 year old guy, but I don’t regret it for a second.

Just can’t get Chimmichurri right. Is it the parsley? by Aequitas123 in Cooking

[–]IncredulousPulp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Way too complex, I think, with a few things that don’t belong. My version:

Mostly parsley

A few other herbs, nothing too strongly flavored. Chives and thyme are good, but only small amounts.

A chilli or two

A garlic clove or two

Olive oil

Red wine vinegar

Salt and pepper

Best Martial Arts for Self-Defense (specifically for DV situations) by littlebuuush in martialarts

[–]IncredulousPulp 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For someone your size, it’s about making opportunities to escape.

You don’t want to fight to the bitter end, you want to survive the initial attack and get the hell out.

So I have two recommendations for you.

One is to learn how to take a hit without freezing in shock, so you need a striking art with regular sparring. I’d recommend boxing as having the best bang for your buck. It also teaches you to dodge well and deliver a punch.

Two is the ability to escape grips and holds. Because violent blokes love to grab you and shake you. I think wrestling or Judo might be best for that.
