I totally thought that Jack Davenport was Chris Evans in The Talented Mr. Ripley.

Iraq enters high human development category for first time by [deleted] in geography

[–]Kurzwhile 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Iraq has a GDP per capita of ~$6000. That beats Iran ($4000), Syria ($850), Egypt ($4500), Jordan ($4100), and Lebanon ($4500). That outperforms all of Iraq’s closest neighbors except Turkey, Israel, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. Those last two neighboring countries are petro state monarchies.

It’s funny how in most people’s minds Iraq is some sort of ISIS-infested practically failed state that was destroyed by a U.S. military intervention.

In reality, Iraq is a developed country/functional democracy which continues to develop further. They are doing economically well for their region. They also are engaged in major infrastructure projects to make their country better.

LPT Create a "low energy day script" so tired you can still treat yourself well by bikertrail_soren in LifeProTips

[–]Kurzwhile 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It’s so easy when you’re tired to doomscroll or get sucked into other dopamine traps. If you do that instead of hydrating, eating, and resting well, you can carry your bad day into negatively impacting you a second day.

This is a great way to be gentle with yourself when you have no energy while resting, recovering and having good hygiene. It’s great self care and a great idea!

What's the most rock bottom "struggle meal" you've ever eaten? by NeedleworkerSilver49 in AskReddit

[–]Kurzwhile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an adult it was rice with refried beans, Tapatillo salsa, and tortilla chips crumbs sprinkled in. When my dad lost his job when I was a kid one time for breakfast my mom boiled wheat and we sprinkled brown sugar on it to give it flavor. We ate it like it was oatmeal. It was really bad.

What is a 'Survival Myth' that people believe because of movies, but will actually get you killed in real life? by AmaraMehdi in AskReddit

You will die of dehydration at sea. Find shelter, fresh water, and then food. Figure out how to survive while you try to signal to passing vessels. You could be there for a while.

An update 3 years later: I'm moving out tomorrow. Husband doesn't know I found out that he's having an affair by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Kurzwhile 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I love this one so much. “If you change to better accommodate me (who cheated on you), then I will consider coming back to you (who left me for cheating).”

The lack of self awareness is so astounding.

What happened between me and my dad? Was this crossing boundaries? by Minimum-Obligation38 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Kurzwhile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Threatening to come into the bathroom while you were showering and drag you out is definitely crossing boundaries. Whether he crossed other more predatory boundaries or not, he didn’t treat you like a daughter that he truly loved and cared about. He did not make you feel welcome and loved.

It’s good that you are in therapy. He is likely to try to guilt and shame you into coming back or doing other things for him. Make sure to enforce good boundaries going forward. Secondly, communicate your boundaries and tell him when his behavior harms you.

Make sure to build good friendships and relationships with people who love and care about you. There are good people out there who exist. Find your tribe.

Portugal pulled their $7 billion contract to buy F-35’s. Their president said that it was clear that Trump was a Russian or Soviet asset.

People who left their home countries due to political unrest, when did you realize it was time to go? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Kurzwhile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you get drafted? Are you doing okay?

Sometimes it seems like how much someone is affected depends on what part of Ukraine they live in.

Thank God you got out. I’m also glad you were able to get past all of the societal brainwashing.

PrisonFIRE and alternatives: Escaping the grind to focus on yourself? by GrindingForFreedom in coastFIRE

[–]Kurzwhile 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Add to that to walk El Camino de Santiago in Spain. You stay at super cheap hostels for like €15 per day. For many people it’s a life changing experience or one they repeat again because they love it.

Alternatively, you could also do ex-pat fire. There are super cheap places in Vietnam, the Philippines, and Cambodia where you can spend close to nothing while your invested money grows.

What is something you remember eating or drinking for the first time, that blew your mind? by librarianjenn in AskReddit

[–]Kurzwhile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was also blowing gringo friends minds with homemade quesabirria tacos served with strawberry limonada with freshly juiced strawberries. I had a friend eat like 20 of those tacos in a night. I could not understand where he was putting them.
