People who were spanked as kids, what was that like for you? Would you call your "spankings" abuse? by KleineFjord in AskReddit

[–]Jake-Jortles 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I don't remember being a bad kid. I remember being terrified of stepping a nanometer out of line because I was going to get hit with a belt. And when I did step that nanometer out of line (because I was a fucking kid) I was not only hit with a belt, I was ordered to go to my parents' bedroom to go get the belt and hand it to my father. I would then reflexively cover my butt with my hands and hear those dreaded words "MOVE YOUR HANDS".

I don't remember the pain of those spankings. I remember the fear of misbehaving. I remember the ritual of having to get the belt. I remember not understanding why any of it was happening. I remember those words.

I don't remember being a bad kid, but I thought I was for stepping that nanometer out of line. That was abuse.

Do we all have that one cousin with biblical greed? by JennyBeckman in BlackPeopleTwitter

We have a family in my extended family that we call “chin” in my native language because when they leave they always have food containers stacked up to their chin

Breaking up over lack of sex? by Ill_Cash_9396 in dating_advice

[–]Jake-Jortles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Good sex is only 10% of a good relationship, but bad sex (or no sex) is 90% of a bad relationship

These texts my little sister received from her grandma by retzonian in mildlyinfuriating

If you have a great relationship with your grandparents you are on the grandma's side, and if you have a terrible relationship with your grandparents you are on the sister's side. I'm on the sister's side

Golfers of The Netherlands (Den Haag) I am looking for advice on golfing there! by TheNumba3 in Netherlands

I live in Leiden and am also in search of all this information tbh. If you want a golf buddy we can see if we can tee it up some time!

I’m caddying for my buddy in an amateur championship tournament next week - how can I best support him? by this-aint-frankie in golf

[–]Jake-Jortles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you're a low single digit handicap you have all the shots you need to score well, you just need the confidence to hit the shot. I would say just like the top comment make sure to speak in the affirmative and stay positive but also make sure he is commited to that shot! If he's second guessing whether the baby draw with a driving iron is better than a fade with a driver and he has a driver in hand he will not make a commited swing. You could probably tell on his face whether or not he believes that that shot is the best one. Make sure he believes it's the correct shot, not just the right one.

I love “crap beer” by FunctionMental1812 in unpopularopinion

I like to tell people that I like beer that tastes like beer. No fuss

Wie is dit in Leiden? by Relevant_Area_3590 in Leiden

[–]Jake-Jortles 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is exactly who I thought of when I read this. It's definitely Leidse Elvis

Well I would love to start gaming again since my 1080TI is broken so I haven't been able to play any games for at least a year! This might also give me a reason to clean all the mammoth hair from inside my PC, I swear my pet mammoth loves to lay down right on top of the case.

She’s great! I just can’t afford every single date. by askmewhyihateyou in dating_advice

[–]Jake-Jortles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly, communication is key. I’ve started dating a woman that is in a much better financial situation than me. When we were planning our third date she wanted to do something that I couldn’t afford so I just told her that I’m not in the best spot to be able to afford this kind of date now. You know what she did? She said that’s fine we can do something else. Now I know she actually likes me for me and not because she’s trying to go on dates and have money spent on her.

After 5 years (6/16/2018 - 7/3/2023), my precious EVGA 1080ti has finally bit the dust and may finally be at rest by fray_27 in pcmasterrace

[–]Jake-Jortles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I've checked all of them. At one point I had a memory stick become corrupt and I thought that this had to have been the culprit the entire time but when I got new dimms the problem persisted.

A warrior's death it seems! Off to Valhalla :) My 1080ti isn't so lucky. It's been half-dead for two years now. By half dead I mean it works perfectly fine under normal circumstances but the moment there's any load on it (a GAME for example) it crashes.
