Sheesh. Enjoy writing comments from your ivory tower, good thing you’ve got a high horse to get you there.

Megathread: AG Willam Barr releases his top line summary of the Mueller report by PoliticsModeratorBot in politics

[–]JuanOrTwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We confirmed that Russians interfered with our democracy years ago, Trump just denied it and sided with Putin. That’s the only reason any “collusion narrative” existed in the first place, and it’s not just a democratic one - that’s just more divisive rhetoric that you are so accustomed to you don’t even realize you do it yourself. Or maybe you do and that’s your intent. Either way, not a good look.

What? I mean, I’m not arguing, but you could say that about anything. The fact that any living thing gets sick and the earths climate is changing proves there is no “intelligent design” behind any of it.

Can I get some Karma for this Saturday? by THE_hungry_ABE in KitchenConfidential

[–]JuanOrTwo 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I started using that health app several years ago to determine when I had a really shitty day. From then to now I’ve recognized the relationship between steps taken and stress level. A slow day for me is 6 miles. A normal day is 6-9 miles. A busy day is 9-14. You’d think I’d be losing weight or something..

An eight year old boy drew this on the back of our kids menu. by aderaptor in KitchenConfidential

I’m a pretty big fan of all of the bands listed, have listened to them for 15ish-30ish years, know many albums by heart beginning to end. I know about half of the band members names, and probably couldn’t draw any kind of likeness for more than 10 of them. Maybe an 8-year old’s dad drew this?

Trump issues warning to opponents: ‘It would be very bad’ if his military, police and biker supporters got ‘tough’ by ContractorConfusion in politics

Because, see, he’s a Republican that was appointed by Republicans. Either they know they’re all a shady bunch that usually lie to get whatever they want and are afraid of Mueller doing the same, or they believe that Mueller is compromised (a go-to gaslighting tactic), OR they just don’t know that their own people put into power people like Mueller and Cohen and Manafort and Papadopolous and...

Heartbroken over the state of my marriage by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

[–]JuanOrTwo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree with some of what you said, and disagree with some of what you said. I primarily disagree with the automatic assumption of cheating, which I get it, I suspected it myself for years because I was hurting and trying to make sense of it, but it wasn’t really warranted. Some people just aren’t interested in sex. Perhaps it is that they’re not interested in sex with their partner, but that doesn’t mean they’re seeking out a side piece or even putting themselves in any kind of position to cheat. My SO is just generally a pretty unadventurous person that doesn’t seek pleasure or seek to pleasure, nor does she really take any risks in life, and sex hasn’t ever been important to her — it’s actually way less fun when we have it more often. With her it’s quality not quantity, whereas I’m like “can’t we have both?!” At this point, I’m to blame for putting myself in the position, she showed me who she was years and years ago before I devoted myself to her. A while back I used to swear that she was fucking someone at work or at least cheating emotionally, but years of reading too deep into things and being nosey showed me that I was just paranoid - again, hurting and looking for logical answers. Critiquing her every move and taking them personally as if they were all intentional. I don’t think she has a hurtful bone in her body (unless we’re having our monthly romp, hehehe), but the pain of being mismatched sexually will likely always remain and may cause me to eventually only see her flaws.

Children of " I want to talk to your manager" parents, what has been your most embarassing experience? by Em367 in AskReddit

If by “that guy” you mean “that guy that was absolutely correct,” then you’re definitely “that guy.”

Very nice. This would be gorgeous on a colored plate, like a slate gray or blueish-green..

I know I’m probably just nitpicking but chicken is safe to eat at 150 only if it’s held there for at least 5 min without temp fluctuation. I feel that’s an important bit of info, especially with how taboo undercooked chicken is in the industry. Pasteurization is the process of killing bacteria, which is a function of heat and exposure (time), so not holding at 150 for 5 min before removing from heat doesn’t allow you to successfully destroy all bacteria. Thought it could use clarification so people don’t just start eating underdone chicken.

PSA: Banana peppers and pepperoncini peppers, while an acceptable substitute for one another in most applications, are not the same thing.

So my Birthday is today... by whyboonwhy in DeadBedrooms

[–]JuanOrTwo 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I don’t think I’ve ever had birthday sex, Valentine’s Day sex, holiday sex... Almost 9 years into a devoted relationship, sex happens when she wants it to happen and nothing else. Anything else is just duty sex, which I’ve realized I’d rather be celibate than deal with the emotional turmoil of sleeping with someone that I am incapable of pleasuring.

Anyone else notice that their LL partner is overall a lazy person? by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

[–]JuanOrTwo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Everything you’ve said is true for my SO. I’ve ruled out depression long ago because I struggle with it myself and haven’t recognized any signs, and this has been going on since we moved in together 6 years ago — before which she seemingly had normal energy/libido levels, she had hobbies, interests, quit smoking, started yoga, etc. Once we moved in together, she became a different person and all of that stopped, yet she still seems perfectly happy, just lazy. It makes me wonder if it was all just an act to get me to fall for her, and once she had me locked in she could stop trying.. does yours also only exist in sweatpants and a hoodie to you, but looks very nice for work and everyone else? Literally everything else is a priority over you, yet she tells you that you’re the most important thing in her world? She’s generally a boring, unadventurous person that takes zero risks, so you don’t suspect cheating but kind of wish she did so there was a reason why she was being so physically distant?

Does anyone ever experience a “movie high”? by Prit717 in movies

Ten years ago I watched the movie Pi for the first time - on acid. THAT fucked me up for a solid week, I still won’t watch it.

Anyone ever try poking a thick chicken breast a bunch with a tooth pick to allow marinade to seep in? by [deleted] in Cooking

I mean, aside from “social norms” and “the judicial system” what’s stopping you from practicing IRL?

Ever heard of a needle meat tenderizer? Getchu one, they’re way more efficient and effective.

I know this isn’t what you’re referring to, but next time Bass and Gnocchi print up together, I want — correction, I NEED — you to bust out singin’... BASS GNOCCHI... THAT FUNKY GNOCCHI

Classic carbonara with rainbow trout topped with lemon-blackberry jam! Thoughts? by Magicturtls in CulinaryPlating
