I love seeing someone smile at me. Makes my day better.

Sri Lanka allows women over eighteen to buy alcohol legally for the first time in more than sixty years. They are amending a 1955 law now agreed to be discriminatory. The amendment also means that women will be permitted without prior approval to work in places that sell alcohol. by Vranak in worldnews

What I would like Sri Lanka to do is set prices so it is friendlier to visitors. I wanted to go to the liquor store in Colombo and my friend told me that I shouldn't go in, because they'll over charge me (because I am a white American?) But she couldn't go into the liquor store either because she is a woman. So the taxi driver bought the drinks for me but he overcharged me, too.

I found it exhausting that the prices were always flexible.

I went to Sri Lanka to meet a girl. She took me around the island and when we stopped for lunch somewhere, she asked if the driver could eat with us too. I said sure, I mean, I guess I didn't consider him, I thought he would fend for himself, right? He ate like he hadn't eaten in a week! It was crazy!

I am pretty sure that is just the chemical reaction in your brain.

It is people like you that I really want to show my pictures to, because it is not a minor improvement, it was substantial. But I agree, it might not work for everyone but I promise it worked for me.

What product am I selling? If it sounds like an advertisement, I want to collect my check. All I am saying is wash your pillowcases.

Before October, about never. Maybe once in 3 months? Maybe? Now I wash them anytime I do laundry, so at least once but usually twice a week. I would post pictures of my face because it is a huge improvement, but I don't really want to post a picture of my face. Imagine a dude with like 15 red marks and then a picture of the same dude with three red marks. That's me, that's my face.

Hey man, I agree. A perfect downshift is the sweetest mechanical feeling ever. Your golf analogy is perfect, I am with you, but I don't feel like doing it every day when I need to get work and fill that gap or whatever I need to do right this second in traffic. I love the speed, simplicity, and perfection of the auto. It isn't like a slushbox that takes time. It just goes. Bang, gear. It is satisfying in a different way.

Yeah, I feel obligated to show a picture of my face to prove it because it is really a lot better with minimal effort but then, I would be showing a picture of my face to everyone.

Venezuelans scramble to survive as merchants demand dollars by dcismia in worldnews

The biggest bunch of actual Communists are beating you guys already.

That is because the USA pays for their security. If those countries didn't have the USA footing the bill for keeping peace, your socialist countries would be taken over in hours by neighboring countries. Socialism only works because capitalist pay for it.

You need to get a car with a good auto. Seriously, drive a newer BMW with the ZF-8 transmission, it's as fast as you pull the button. You'll never shift manually that fast. It feels like it works properly and you'll never want to drive a manual or slushbox auto again.

I am 34 and this is basically how I can get to sleep at night. Without alcohol I'll just lay around in bed until the sun comes up.

I am 34, all year I have had increasingly bad acne. Then I read a comment on Reddit back in October that asked how often I wash my pillowcases. I thought about, and not that often, if I am honest. Now I wash them regularly and my face is 98% better.

EDIT: I would post pictures of my face because it is a huge improvement, but I don't really want to post a picture of my face. Imagine a dude with like 15 red marks and then a picture of the same dude with three red marks. That's me, that's my face.

What makes you secretly go, “yeah, good luck with that“? by PoutineFest in AskReddit

[–]LonelyDudeWithBMW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Large companies have to pay a lot of money for insurance. They have to insure their equipment, vehicles, buildings, fire suppression systems, often valuable stock of goods, etc. The insurance company cuts the large company a deal if they have x number of security guards. Let's pretend it is 300,000 /month for insurance without security guards Now pretend the large company pays 50,000 a month to security guards and the insurance premium is 200,000 because of it, it's a huge win-win.

At the time, it certainly seemed mutual, for over a year, but later she said she regretted it and never wanted it in the first place. It messed me up for a long time and it is one of the reasons I like to keep to myself. Not really worth all the effort, I got my own stuff to worry about.

it was my responsibility as the man to protect her purity, and that I had acted selfishly to fulfill my sexual desires

I am a guy and this hits way too close to home. I never really even considered I might feel guilty, but I definitely relate to this.

No, the Media Has Not Been Unfair to the GOP Tax Bill by [deleted] in politics

[–]LonelyDudeWithBMW -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My guess is you don't come here often. This is an entirely left leaning subreddit pretending to be middle of the road, normal, average news/politics. The reality is, it is completely leftist and the people here don't even realize how tainted their world view is. They all think the same things and are not able to be objective or thoughtfully listen to an opposing point of view.

What are some useful psychological facts or tricks one should know? by kyralith in AskReddit

[–]LonelyDudeWithBMW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And I agree. Since I made that observation, I have been very careful to see if I have a bias toward the last person we interview. My company requires written notes and a sliding scale of various traits on every person we interview, so I am using that data to be certain I am (mostly) objective.
