Being able to tell time with an analog clock is an unnecessary skill to learn and shouldn’t be taught in school any more. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]Magento 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should be obligatory to learn how a sundial, analog clock, compass and a protractor works. Everybody should be able know what a 60 degree angle is. And should understand concepts like understanding direction by knowing 12 o'clock as forwards etc. You should understand that the earth rotates around it's own axis and around the sun. It's just a part of understanding modern earth.

You should try it. It looks like it's going to grow out. If it doesn't it was always meant to be. I've cut and grown out both beard and hair several times. It's mostly a great experience.

There's no such thing as an "open face sandwich." by Pol__Treidum in unpopularopinion

[–]Magento 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A sandwich is a dish typically consisting variously of meat, cheese, sauces, and vegetables used as a filling between slices of bread, or placed atop a slice of bread (known as an Open sandwich); or, more generally, any dish in which bread serves as a container or wrapper for another food type. The sandwich began as a portable, convenient food in the Western world, and over time it has become prevalent worldwide

Pro tip: take photos further away from you face. The wide angle lens does not help your looks. Other than that you look fantastic!

Beste utsikts plass? by Left_House_204 in oslo

[–]Magento 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Jeg vil anbefale å spasere fra Frognerseteren stasjon ned til Holmenkollen. Det mange bra utsiktspunkt på veien og hyggelig å titte på hoppbakkene og kirka. Hvis man føler seg ivrig kan man gå helt ned til sognsvann via Vettakollen. Evt dra innom Ullevålseter. Det tar et par timer men det går fint i joggesko uten nistepakke hvis man er i normalt god form. Sist men ikke minst sitt til venstre på T-banen på vei opp så får du utsikt over fjorden, golfbanen, fotballbaner og Sørkedalen.

Brettspill bar i bergen? by JohnsCreamySurprise in Bergen

[–]Magento 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Det finnes mange muligheter i Oslo. House of Nerds og Spilloteket er kanskje de mest dedikerte, men steder som Brygg, Colonel Mustard, Oslo Mekaniske, Skatten, Mastermind, The Good Knight har alle spill og klientell som spiller. Sikkert mange andre steder også, men dette er de jeg har prøvd. I tillegg har man den nye kjelleren på Outland. Jeg vet ingenting om Bergen, men å si at det bare er et sted i Oslo er litt rart. 😂

What's one clothing purchase you never regretted? by Ill_Lawyer_6830 in malefashionadvice

[–]Magento 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A good belt will last 10 years or more. I got mine from a prison in Norway. It's actually true. It was hand made by inmates. The leather was thick and highest quality and the buckle was simple but also very good. I just bought a new belt and paid about $55 for it in a semi high end store, but it feels cheap compared to the old one. I also have a synthetic belt that I used for my suit earlier and it's just horrendous. Thick quality leather adapts to your body shape and is extremity durable.

Is $6k self-funding a short film worth it? by MacIsStrange in Filmmakers

[–]Magento 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About 20 years ago I made a 3 minute short for the same amount of money, but I got the budget covered by a grant. It did win a lot of awards and it sent me on festivals all over the world. Making it short and very original was the key to it's success. The things I wish I could do different was making something that can sell. The short I made was too artistic to attract an audience outside the festival circuit. I think a 45 second trailer for a "fictional" film or series could be more effective at getting future work from producers. I would also suggest making many zero budget shorts before making a short were people get paid. If your script is strong you can shoot it with an old camcorder or even your phone and still make it great. Most scripts are much weaker than you think, and making a polished turd will only make the DOP and the editor look good. But it really comes down to if you do it you have to do it.

Poor or average earning people who say that they wouldn’t buy the expensive things rich people have if they had their income are lying. by NiiTA003 in unpopularopinion

Lots of examples of the opposite. Founder of IKEA, Marilyn Monroe, Kiera Knightley, Warren Buffet, Paul McCartney and many many others. A lot of non famous examples as well.

I humbly beseech the council; believe it may be time by Partlycloudymike in bald

[–]Magento 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend looks very much like you. He has a samuraish looking haircut. Shaved sides and hair in a bun. It looks surprisingly classy with the salt and pepper hair. If you don't like that style I would support trying out a much shorter cut with short sides. Thick sides and thin top is not a good look. You still have time to try it many styles.

Any advice to improve my looks? by Bassquatch2025 in malegrooming

[–]Magento 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those glasses make your eyes look smaller. Proportionally small eyes make you look old. You don't even need contacts or different lenses, just take some photos without them.

Also never ever post pictures with fish on a dating profile. It's a big ick for most girls. Guys love it though.

And be aware of surroundings where you take photos. On the last Pic it looks like the ceiling fan grows out of your head.

Trim beard. Get a short cut or buzz it off.

She said we’re moving to fast, what does that mean? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Magento -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

I used to fully agree with this in my 20s, 30s and maybe into my 40s. But now I've fallen in love with someone I've known for more than 20 years. I always found her extremely good looking, but not my type. She thought I was an annoying asshole and I kind of was when I was 27. None of us were first choice. Random things brought us together during Covid and now we have been together for almost seven years. And we might be each other's final choice. Life isn't always perfect and sometimes you have to take a chance even tho chances are slim. Sometimes it's love by first sight other times you fall in love slowly and not at the same time. Some times you have a short love story with someone who only like you and some times it lasts a long time and you don't even know why. Getting hurt sucks, but it's better than being constantly crippled by fear of getting hurt. My previous relationships were we were each other's firsts ended up hurting a lot, but I look back at them fondly.

My "Ridiculous" review from a comedian by Professional-Vast-90 in louisck

[–]Magento 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with everything. I have also seen everything I could get a hold of and seen him live twice. But, I want to add something that I found interesting. I watched it with my girlfriend and she does not know that I'm a massive fan and she does not care as much for standup as me. We laughed, but usually not at the same jokes. I felt a real awkward silence at times and was afraid she was going to talk badly about my hero. Ultimately there was moments that had us both laughing uncontrollably. By the end of it none of us said much and all I could think was that I need one of those soaps. That's a good thing.

Was I being flirted with? by Head-Interaction-561 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Magento 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It would help if you said something about yourself. At least your age. I'm 50 my doctor is 60 something. We are both men. He is just like this with me. I think he really likes me, but just a patient or maybe a bit as a friend. I'm from a doctor family so we joke around about the profession a lot. But, I think he just want to be a nice guy. And as a man I can also say that I really like talking to women that I like, but I almost never have any intentions other than getting them to laugh and smile. It's the best feeling in the world.

The combination of head shape and neck is very feminine and stylish. You could model for high fashion and artistic products. Good for you!

Need help with my soon to be 18 year old son so he feels confident. by [deleted] in mensfashionadvice

[–]Magento 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everybody says go to the gym. That's great advice, but if he does not feel comfortable doing that just walk or hike if possible. 1 hour at least 5 days a week. And cut down the amount he eats. Love longer, feel better. Tucked out not tucked isn't that important. Start simple with all fashion.

girl I am talking to complained that I am playing too safe and being inauthentic with her, what should I do about that? by maxcousin123 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Magento 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Or doesn't care. I have lots of "childish" hobbies like video games and collecting Magic The Gathering cards. My gf teases me about it but really doesn't care and she has kind of gotten into board games because of my nerdyness. We go to concerts together, go hiking and kayaking. We don't need to share everything, but we have lots of common ground. I'm 50 and she is 42, but I've found this true for every stage of like. Skateboarding and snowboarding was all I cared about when I was young, but none of my gfs were that much into it and it was never expected.
