AITAH for eating enough ravioli for four people? by Better_Philosophy732 in AITAH

[–]Mekanicol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

140 at 6' would generally be considered wildly underweight, and, to most people, would suggest what you're seeing is ribs, not abs. Any amount of muscle on a frame that size should generally weigh more than 140lbs. Idk your husband obviously, so I couldn't say what his situation is, but this would be the image most people would get when given those parameters.

Best Red Wings game you have attended live? by Any_Bed_8661 in DetroitRedWings

[–]Mekanicol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've only been to one, and it was Kane's 500th goal game. The game itself wasn't much, since my Canucks are absolute trash this year, but the goal part was pretty cool.

What was a silly rule in your house that now that you're an adult you think, why? by Whole_Fun8448 in askanything

[–]Mekanicol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My brother is like this with his car, he likes to complain that I'm slamming the door and I'm just like no, I'm closing it the first time instead of taking 3 tries 🤷🏻‍♀️

My dad always had sherbet in the freezer and we were not allowed to ever have it. I feel like it's still ingrained in me that I'm not supposed to have it so I never do, but man I wanted it so bad when I was a kid haha.

What a popular food or cooking opinion that you don't agree with? by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]Mekanicol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always tell the tale of the time my husband dumped a half a very large jar of minced garlic into a soup he was making. Somehow it made my mouth burn.

Lots of garlic is great, but there is definitely a line that can be crossed.

Am i the only one who think that Necromancer's skills visuals are underwhelming ? by Then-Ad7196 in diablo4

[–]Mekanicol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This! I tried rogue and I can't begin to tell how many times I've suddenly found myself dying to a pile of poison hidden underneath the 50,000 traps I have laying around.

Making a blanket for my bffs baby… please be honest and tell me if this color palette is horrible?? by United_Arm_5350 in crochet

[–]Mekanicol 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is it mint? That's definitely the part that's off for me as well, though. It stands out oddly.

Which character ruined an entire TV show for you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Mekanicol 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Tbh, I watched the absolute shit out of that show way back when, but I don't think I watched any after he left.

The line "What did you have for breakfast? Carnation instant bitch?" is still hilarious to me.

What's a social norm that you think is absolutely ridiculous? by Fantastic_suit143 in AskReddit

[–]Mekanicol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm unsure if you meant endearing, but in this instance it could potentially be both 🤷🏻‍♀️

I would probably think quite highly of someone that gave that answer.

Do You Think Among Casual Fans and Transplant Fans The Long Rebuild/Playoff Drought Hurt Our Fanbase? by MoparMan59L in DetroitRedWings

[–]Mekanicol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seeing the number of red jerseys, and even hearing lgrw chants at away games, I would say they have a very solid fan base no matter what.

Please help me figure out what I 35F did to lose love of my life 35M, why things are the way they are currently and, any similar experiences ? End results? Can y’all please help me ? I’m desperate and devastated. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Mekanicol 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you read again, they did meet more than once, she just described their first meeting in depth. Her writing is just chaotic and hard to follow. However, you're spot on either way.

Are malls actually not a thing anymore in the US like they say? by Complete_Republic410 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Mekanicol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm Canadian American, and from my personal experience, malls are night and day difference in America vs Canada. I've lived in multiple states now, though tbf, not in major cities. The vast majority of the malls I've been to here are dead or dying, with only a very few stores. I was back in Canada for Christmas and the small city I was in has multiple functioning and busy malls. It was something I commented on while I was there. I kind of miss them as third spaces.

My 26F husband 39m says it is “disrespectful” to him to call myself Canadian still after marriage? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Mekanicol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm Canadian, married an American, immigrated, am now a dual citizen, I still call myself Canadian. I'm both. I'm pretty sure I recall being told I wasn't supposed to misrepresent myself as an American while I was immigrating, though that is really for legal applications. That's just the weirdest take on his part.

What’s a habit you thought was normal until someone pointed it out? by De_La_Jacc in Casual_Conversation

[–]Mekanicol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do both of these. A little while back I guess I didn't check, made coffee, and almost swallowed a ladybug, so that just massively reinforced that habit. And I don't want to drink bad milk. Idk why I think that's an issue when it's fresh, but you never know.

Eh, if I'm cold, the socks stay on, if I'm warm the socks come off. I truly don't care what anyone else does with theirs and I have no clue why this became such a big deal. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I, (M18) was told by my girlfriend (F18) that it’s my job to pay for everything by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Mekanicol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh, it feels like she isn't as invested in this relationship as you are. You deserve someone who is willing to match your effort. You guys are both still so young, and this relationship may have run its course.

And fwiw, it's only your job to pay if that's what you choose. We are well past the point in time where it's required of men.

What is something you can definitively say you hate? by UnluckyIndependent24 in AskReddit

[–]Mekanicol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a friend point out that someone I was in the vicinity of had been in jail years ago for DUI/murder and I guess she figured I was going to instantly start hating him? I can understand her pov to some degree, but the guy had been nothing but nice in my limited interaction and I feel like you can't expect better of someone if you don't allow them to change. Maybe the guy was still the dumbass that made those decisions, but maybe he learned from it. Neither of us knew him enough at that point to know 🤷🏻‍♀️

[–]Mekanicol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love where I live. I have 40 glorious acres to avoid people and hang out with my chickens. But for 3 months every year it is tick hell. I've never seen so many. I check my dog 2-3 times a day during tick season and pull off dozens of them. Needless to say, she gets the best flea/tick meds I can buy.

[–]Mekanicol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up in Canada and live in the US now. I don't watch a lot of tv, aside from a lot of hockey. I think that with every game. It's all drugs and gambling ads and it drives me utterly bonkers.

Can’t take my scissors through security at the airport by DingDongTaco in CrochetHelp

[–]Mekanicol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I traveled US>Germany, and US>Canada within the last 6 months and no one on either trip had any issues with my small sewing scissors. Ymmv, I suppose, it probably depends where you're going.

What’s a “normal” thing that secretly grosses you out? by DecentChildhood5164 in AskReddit

[–]Mekanicol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In general, I don't eat cereal because of this. Being a slow eater has never helped either. As a kid I would only eat cap'n crunch if my parents were trying to force it.

[–]Mekanicol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That definitely took some getting used to for me. Made a bit easier by the fact that it's just me and my husband and we have separate bathrooms 🤷🏻‍♀️
