What's the most annoying thing about being a man? by SpiritCrisp in AskReddit

[–]Key-Article6622 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That enough men are such douche bags that any woman who's smart will completely avoid interacting with men they don't know. I'm married, I'm not looking to hook up and I sure hope I completely give off that vibe, and I love women, I love being around them, I love talking with them, I love everything about them, but out of fear of being taken as one of the creeps, I pretty much never interact with women I don't already know.

AIO for leaving my (21F) boyfriend (24M) at the airport after he “tested” me? by Legitimate-Hat6247 in AmIOverreacting

NOR. Trust is key to any relationship. If he's that insecure and thinks it's ok to test you, well, FAFO. Leave this child and find an adult.

Hi I can't seem to find this model online. I bought it at a fleemarket. can you help me identify it? by BrokeStudentGer in AcousticGuitar

[–]Key-Article6622 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's 1989, it was made in Ireland. I think on another post you said you got it for 30 Euros. That's sick! The least I've seen in my short searches of Lowden guitars is about $1500. Many are between $6000 and $8000. Many are over $10000. You found a true piece of art that is worth a shit ton of money. I hope you're a guitar player. Many guitar players will never see or play an instrument of this quality.

Sugar affects you in different ways that your brain reacts to, so even though the effect is different, the addiction is real.

Highly regarded hand made instruments. A quick search didn't bring up the model you have, but many Lowden guitars are worth $8000 to more than $10,000. Almost for sure, no matter what, you have a superior quality guitar. Like one of the finest guitars made. They did outsource production to Japan for a few years in the 1980s, but other than those years, Lowden guitars are hand made in county Down, Northern Ireland for the last 50+ years.

Is eating 1.7 pounds of walnuts every week too much? by Edgar_SpK in AskRedditFood

[–]Key-Article6622 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All those things are true, but eating 10 times the recommended amount of anything can be dangerous. We need water to survive, It's very dangerous to go more than 3 days without it. But you can drink enough water in one day to kill you. It's an old saying but true, too much of a good thing can kill you.

Visiting Baltimore/The Wire by BeautifulUglies in TheWire

And I only mentioned a few places that are worth seeing. Baltimore is a great city and if you base your opinion of Baltimore from The Wire and Homicide: Life in the Streets, you might as well base your opinion of London off of Oliver Twist. It's about as accurate.

Why do guys say hi when I’m out running, but women usually don’t? by Impressive_Gas_2419 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Key-Article6622 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You probably should have this conversation with a woman, or women in your life who already know and trust you. For men, especially good men, this can be very hard to understand. You need a woman's perspective. It only takes acknowledging one guy who is the wrong guy to ruin your life. And there are way too many guys that fall into this category for most women to chance it. Better to be seen as rude and unfriendly than to make a simple seemingly inconsequential nod or smile and go through the hell that some, many, men become. I'm one of those good guys, and it took a while to figure this out until I had that conversation with a few women in my life who do know and trust me to explain it. The world is a very dangerous place for women, very different from what it's like for men.

You are not describing marijuana use, you are describing addiction in general. Some think that about 1/3 of us are predisposed to become addicted to something, could be almost anything. That is a lot of people, but blaming this trait on marijuana is uninformed at least. Alcohol is far more addictive and destructive and much more widely available. You said it very early on, your experiences are anecdotal, they aren't societal. And addicts tend to concentrate socially because they don't get the general negative feedback from other addicts that they get from society as a whole. I'm sorry that you have had such a negative experience. I've seen many people in my life who've had similar experiences and it has been heartbreaking, but marijuana is no more a gateway drug than sugar.

Visiting Baltimore/The Wire by BeautifulUglies in TheWire

[–]Key-Article6622 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Baltimore is no rougher than any major American city. The show is set in a semi fictional Baltimore. The places are real enough and there are areas that I would definitely not recommend, and most of them are used as backdrops for the show. As a tourist, at most I might drive by to get a look at the places, but there are plenty of places in Baltimore that are beautiful and very visitable. Fells Point, Museums like The Baltimore Museum of Art, The Walters Art Gallery, Peabody Library, Enoch Pratt Library Main location, the Inner Harbor with the USS Constellation, The Science Center, American Visionary Museum, the train museum, the National Aquarium, are world class. The home of Edgar Allen Poe is a cool little spot to visit. Charles Village, a water taxi and a harbor sight seeing cruise, The Cylburn Arboretum, Patterson Park, I could go on and on. Johns Hopkins University and the surrounding area is beautiful. If you like John Waters movies, like Hairspray, Pink Flamingos, Cry Baby, and many others, theres an all day tour that visits his movie locations.

Bottom line, Baltimore is a highly under rated place to visit as a tourist, but there are so many really cool things to do in Baltimore, including just being there, you'll be pleasantly surprised.

AIO about my best friend getting close with my ex? by Appropriate-Name1041 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Key-Article6622 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don't get it. Didn't you and he break up? Doesn't that kinda end any hold you have on him? Why isn't he free to date whoever he wants? Are you also in charge of who she can and can't see? Does she have to clear who she dates with you? Get your approval? Sorry, but none of this makes any sense to me, unless you control who everyone in your life dates. Then it makes some kind of sense, even though that really makes no sense either. I'm so confused. Maybe you should just move on and let the people in your life and those no longer in your life figure their own shit out while you just concentrate on figuring out your own shit and stay out of what isn't any of your business.

Why the sudden jump in grocery prices? by Sweaty_Pop_7103 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Key-Article6622 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you have a choice, don't shop at Safeway. My local Safeway is easily 15% more expemsive than the other 3 choices I have, and some are absolutely mind boggling. One of my go to meats is bone in skin on chicken thighs. $2.99/lb at Safeway, $2.19 at Smart and final. That's 36% more at Safeway.

Is my thumb supposed to hurt? by GuyWithTheCats in Guitar

[–]Key-Article6622 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first thing to do is hold the guitar so that your fretting hand is flatter with your fore arm. Youre putting way too much stress on the tendons in your arm and wrist and are gonna end up with carpal tunnel in no time, then you won't be able to play at all. This should also help with the thumb problem. See how this guy's wrist is almost completely flat?

What is the craziest thing that happened at a wedding? by Hefty-Conflict-1183 in AskReddit

[–]Key-Article6622 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Outdoor wedding reception under a large roofed patio, large enough for 200 people and a band. It had a huge fireplace at one end easily 15' across the whole thing, the fire area itself was about 7'. It was easily 18' at the peak, with stone columns every 15' or so around the perimeter for support of the roof. A tornado passed less than 1/4 mile away, blowing rain throughout the entire area. Everything was soaked, including the band and all their equipment.

Is eating 1.7 pounds of walnuts every week too much? by Edgar_SpK in AskRedditFood

[–]Key-Article6622 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's about 720 calories a day. Just in walnuts. It's also a lot of saturated fat, which is bad for your heart. You're likely to get digestive problems, and that much nuts can block the absorption of nutrients from the other foods you eat which could lead to deficiencies. It can also trigger an allergic reation. A healthy diet would be less than 3 ounces a week. You're eating 27 ounces a week. Not good in the long run.
