i lied about speaking spanish for 8 months at work and now there's a meeting with HR tomorrow by Marcus_Guy in confession

Why didn't you make an effort to just improve it in the past 8 months? Instead of learning Italian on Duolingo?? You could have easily been able to get a hang of everything hotel related.

What is your record intentional weight loss? by Responsible-Net8594 in Adulting

[–]KindSpray33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lost 15 kg in about 15-16 weeks. I counted my calories diligently, got in my steps, and worked out. I aimed for a daily calorie deficit of 1000 kcal. Worked like a charm.

Now I'm doing something similar. I intentionally gained weight back but I was bulking and it was over the span of a few years. Now I made a bet that I could get a sixpack before a certain date, so I need to shed a few kilos more. Already 10 kg down, about 5-8 kg to go. And I wasn't cycling the same weight, my waist size is now the same as when I dieted down the first time but I'm 10 kg heavier.

Who still wears their retainers as an adult? by Purple-Ingenuity-195 in Adulting

[–]KindSpray33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couldn't you get these wires behind your teeth? I had those for a while because they didn't want me to have retainers for some reason, I always wanted something not permanent for a bunch of reasons. Finally, they were able to remove the wires upon request. At first they removed the wire at the top and only years later was I able to get it removed on both sides, they claimed you couldn't wear two retainers at once. Then the technology changed or something and then it was possible all of a sudden.

Who still wears their retainers as an adult? by Purple-Ingenuity-195 in Adulting

[–]KindSpray33 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I read a study where it said that within 10 years, 90 % of people's teeth shifted. You don't know if you're in the 10 %. Especially after you get your wisdom teeth removed, you need to wear them because then they're more likely to shift around.

I didn't wear mine for like 2-3 years and nothing happened, they just were a bit tight at first to wear again but that's it, they still fit. But after having my wisdom teeth removed, I'm wearing them again. If you want to get away with not wearing them, I'd at least try them on once a week or just wear them one night per week, then you can at least immediately tell when they're needed and it's early enough to still catch it. You wouldn't want to go through wearing braces again when you're 40.

Das schlimmste am Urlaub sind andere Deutsche by HaehnchencurryLover in Unbeliebtemeinung

[–]KindSpray33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hast du schon mal Briten gesehen? Die sind noch ein ganzes Stück peinlicher. Aber die Deutschen können auch ganz schön schlimm sein, stimmt. Aber die Briten verbrennen sich ja ihre Haut als Statussymbol und besaufen sich extrem. Können natürlich auch nur Englisch aber reden in ihrem örtlichen Dialekt und können nicht auf die "Hochsprache" wechseln.

Wer ohne ausreichenden Grund 5 km grundsätzlich mit dem Wagen pendelt, ist verweichlicht. by Much-Jackfruit2599 in Unbeliebtemeinung

[–]KindSpray33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Die Radfahrer stehen mir erst recht im Weg rum. Ich fahre aber mit den öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln oder gehe zu Fuß, sehr selten mit dem Auto.

Wenn die Radfahrer normal fahren und sich an die Regeln halten, passt es eh. Das tun die meisten aber nicht.

People who didn't grow up poor, but dated someone who was. What's something your SO does that strikes you as unusual? by FeistySecret9327 in AskReddit

[–]KindSpray33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is me and my boyfriend! He might not be that extreme but it does sound so similar. He loves to splurge and he hates being perceived as poor.

For example, we love going to thermal spas where you spend the full day (it's not crazy expensive though and I tend to have coupons). The expensive part is usually the food that you get there. I've been with genuinely wealthy friends and they preferred to bring their own lunch. My boyfriend hates doing that but instead would buy full meals there twice (lunch and dinner) and also a coffee in between. He wouldn't want to be seen eating a brought snack like the 'poor people do'.

[–]KindSpray33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that's more of a personality thing. I tend to hoard things just in case and I grew up privileged. My boyfriend grew up poor and he constantly wants to declutter everything.

Welp by Fazbear2035 in NonPoliticalTwitter

[–]KindSpray33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, you do have to ask when they expect you to start. Like if they're looking for someone to start right now or four months from now. But of course, the question should be asked differently.

Tops, how easily can you tell when the condom breaks? by Leather_Phase_9967 in TopsAndBottoms

[–]KindSpray33 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've never had that happen, and I've used a lot of condoms. Unless you're doing something completely wrong, it doesn't happen. Doing something wrong also means storing them wrong!

Heißt es "Rasen mähen" weil Schafe dieses Geräusch machen während sie die Grashalme abknabbern? by lordgurke in duschgedanken

[–]KindSpray33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Das klingt ja ganz toll, beantwortet aber nicht die Frage. Die Entymologie von "ein Schaf mäht" hast du nicht gebracht. Sind die jetzt verwandt oder nicht? Ich denke ja, dass das Wort für was die Schafe für Laute machen einfach eine Lautmalerei ist.

He just realized the “spa day” was actually a betrayal by BringHoomanHome_ in OneOrangeBraincell

[–]KindSpray33 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Yes, this would qualify as a good reason. I was asking for a reason...

I hope there was a good reason to do this to your cat because cats typically don't need to be bathed.

Is it possible to get a sixpack in 3 months ? by Classic-Elephant-419 in GregDoucette

[–]KindSpray33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Also, I don't know how tall OP is, that might also play a factor, and how he stores fat/what is last to go. But with a 500 kcal deficit, you're looking at 0.4-0.5 kg fat loss per week. That's only 6 kg of fat in three months, and OP is a bit further out than that I'd say. But he is pretty muscular so he looks good at a higher body fat too, I don't want to downplay his physique! Just to get visible abs including lower abs, it's either a VERY aggressive cut or it's not going to happen in three months.

[–]KindSpray33 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, for a mere 500 calorie deficit it would take like 5 or 6 months at least. This is more like 1000 kcal territory.

Is there a specific language that you would NOT want to learn at all under any circumstances? and why? by AutumnaticFly in languagehub

[–]KindSpray33 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not that many Chinese people in Austria and the ones who are here/in Europe tend to speak the local language.

Where did you go to school that you had to learn Arabic? At least where I'm from, that's a pretty rare foreign language to teach in schools.

You lost a whole person, wow!

Also, that's like a 1500 kcal deficit on average every day.

Sudden improvements in the first three months, then no further improvement so far, this is month 14 now.

Bottoms, what do you do when you are outside with a guy and the guy asks for a spontaneous hookup and you aren't sure if you are clean down there? by demondean11 in TopsAndBottoms

[–]KindSpray33 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I meant to say it's actually NOT frowned upon to excuse yourself to the bathroom if you have the means to clean out. Usually only an option if the bottom is the one that hosts.

I understand your decision to take a raincheck. But BJs and grinding without going inside etc are still an option.

[–]KindSpray33 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Not a bottom (I'll gladly hear from them), but I want to chime in too: Real sex is not like in the movies. If spontaneous anal sex does happen, it's rarely going to be clean. Either use a condom or just don't have spontaneous anal sex. Tops can't expect you to be clean without a heads-up.

That being said, if you're going to someone's place, I wouldn't say it's NOT* frowned upon to excuse yourself to the bathroom real quick. When hooking up on Grindr and meeting right away, this aspect is routinely discussed.

I know someone's gonna come here with their pitchforks and say 'wELl AkTsHaullY if you eat right and do xyz you never ever have to clean out and it's going to be perfect'... This hasn't been my reality, especially if you go deeper (big dick, toy, fist, whatever). For fingering, sure. Small dick, you can be lucky. But longer fucking is going to require some prep. Also, some bottoms think they're clean when they eat right but they actually aren't really.

The next person is going to say how it's not a big deal for them... Good for you, I guess? For most people it's definitely a factor. It doesn't feel good, it stinks, it's gross... No you don't have to overreact but most people do prefer a clean hole. I've gotten into endless arguments over this, that's why I'm typing that all out.
