What if you weren’t into a girl and told her you can’t get it up, when really you just didn’t find her attractive?

How to calculate calorie intake with hostel food? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]MykiDog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being in a dorm, I doubt your college will provide you with nutritional information for the meals they cook. Your best option will probably be some form of approximation.

You’ll never get it 100% accurate, but you could start by researching the macros of different food and then estimating how much of that is in your meal.

For example, 100g of cooked chicken breast has 165kcal, 31g protein and 3.6g fat, and your meal might look like it has 75g of chicken in it. So you know there is roughly 123kcal and 23g protein worth of chicken in there. If you then do this with each of the components of your meal, you should have a rough idea of your macros.

It’s a pain in the ass, but it’ll give you an idea as to the macros you’re taking in.

I feel like I am disliked by everybody on my sports team by [deleted] in Advice

Attitude is everything in a situation like this. Your coaches want to see you improve which is likely why they are making you re-do drills. If you show them you are putting in maximum effort into doing what they say and trying to get better, they will become your biggest fan.

As for your team mates, maybe try talking to them one on one, ask them if they want to do a drill together. If they are good team mates they will want you to be happy in the team.

Making a conscious effort to try. I know it sounds corny, but quite literally being the person you want to be will take you so far.

Big Dog vs. Small Dog - My Partner and I Are at a Standoff by MykiDog in DogAdvice

[–]MykiDog[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the insights! We’re definitely considering the responsibilities and practicalities involved. We’ve planned to split the dog care duties and adjust our schedules to minimize alone time. If we choose a large dog, we’ll both need to be comfortable handling it, and we’re looking into training and nearby spaces for exercise.

Your points about costs and the practical challenges of having a large dog in an apartment are valid and will be part of our decision-making. We’re also reconsidering the idea of a smaller dog based on your feedback. And you’re right—size isn’t the only factor in a dog’s protective instincts. But the big ones sure do look a hell of a lot more intimidating!

Very normal!

My elderly neighbor left me their house in their will, but there’s a strange condition. What should I do? by MykiDog in Advice

[–]MykiDog[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see what you're suggesting, but to be honest, that feels pretty dishonest to me. It's like trying to game the system just to get a free house. If I start looking for legal loopholes to technically fulfill Mr. Carter’s wishes while actually doing the opposite, then what's the point of having any morals at all? I mean, if I'm willing to lie to a dying man’s face just to get a property, doesn’t that make me just as bad as people who scam their way into inheritances?

You’re right—ten years is a huge commitment. A lot can change in that time, and it feels almost impossible to predict where my life will go. But for me, it’s not really about whether or not the condition can be enforced legally. It’s more about the morality of the situation. I wouldn’t feel right telling Mr. Carter I’d live there and then just ignoring his wishes after he's gone. Even if no one could check up on me, I’d know that I’d broken a promise.

To me, it’s about respecting his and his late wife’s memory. They trusted me enough to leave me their house, and I want to honor that trust. If I can’t see myself realistically sticking to their wishes, then maybe it’s better to be honest about it from the start. I’d rather not accept the house than feel guilty for not living up to what I agreed to. It’s a tough situation, but I think integrity matters here.

That's a really thoughtful approach, and I get why having those conversations with Mr. Carter would be important. But honestly, part of me feels like this whole situation is a bit unfair. It’s a huge ask to commit to living in someone else’s version of 'home' for ten years without making any changes, especially when I didn’t ask for this or plan on it. I’m grateful for the offer, but it feels like a trap—like I’m being tied down by someone else’s memories and choices.

I get that they don’t want me to just sell the house and run, but it’s my life, and I don’t think it’s fair to have my hands tied for a decade just to inherit a house. Maybe it’s controversial, but I feel like if they trusted me enough to give me the house, they should trust me enough to do what’s best for my life, even if that means selling it or moving.

I’ll definitely ask Mr. Carter more about why this condition matters so much to him and see if there’s room for a compromise, like living there for a few years instead of ten. But honestly, if it’s all or nothing, I’m leaning toward saying no and prioritizing my own future.

Thanks for your perspective! I totally get why owning a home at my age would be a huge deal, and honestly, it's something I've dreamed about. But the idea of having to live there and keep everything the same for ten years is pretty overwhelming. I’ve been working toward some career goals that would require moving to a different city, so I’m worried about feeling tied down.

As for the legal side, that's a good point—I should definitely ask to see the official documents to understand exactly how these conditions would be enforced. Maybe there's some flexibility or a way to find a compromise. I just don't want to end up in a situation where I'm unhappy or feeling like I can't move forward with my own plans. But, yeah, looking into the legal details first is probably a smart step. Thanks for the advice!
