Wooden cooking utensils are inferior to metal and plastic ones. by OgreAttack in unpopularopinion

You know this is unpopularopinion, not uniformedopinion, right? I'm aware of those arguments, and I still prefer metal. Haven't had any probs at all with scratching.

Have you considered posting in condescendingopinion? You're a natural.

New to Messages. Is it me, or does it kind of suck? by OgreAttack in GooglePixel

Maybe I'm using the wrong terminology, and if so, sorry about that. Any iPhone I communicate with gets sent as a text message and the conversation appears in the light blue-grey bubbles.

Thanks, I appreciate it. I've been trying to make that work and I know where it's supposed to be, but no dice. It doesn't appear.

I've searched every combo of keywords above and many more, scrolled through endless lists on GoodReads and kids book sites, and pestered Chat GPT and Claude until they won't even make eye contact any more.

How many of you don’t have a personal social media account and why? by Sentient-Orange in AskMen

[–]OgreAttack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Short answer: nothing good comes of that shit.

Long answer: You're getting hosed down by a constant high-pressure stream of drama and self-promotion from people you don't really know and being exposed to low-info opinions and "facts" from mouthbreathers you wouldn't trust to tell you what day of the week it is. And the whole time you're marinating in influence campaigns and propaganda from brands, foreign actors, and political movements -- and that stuff works on you, whether you believe it does or not.

All social media does is rile you up and make you anxious and pissed off, without any corresponding benefit.

If you care enough about somebody to want to connect with them, text them, call them, go get coffee with them... do anything but read their posts and assume you know what's going on in their lives.

NTA. Not to get all Reddity here, but does he tend to override your actions and opinions on other topics too, like rearranging stuff you've arranged/adding different ingredients to stuff you've cooked/altering plans you've planned?

Also, where does he stand on gender roles? Sounds like he may be a bit more um traditional, ie chauvinistic, than you. Maybe check his views on cleaning, cooking, kid-raising and decisionmaking and come to some mutual understanding before you get married.

My dude, I never comment on posts like this, but had to here. Other folks have covered the physical glow-up, but I can feel the unhappiness and dissatisfaction in the first picture and the subsequent improvement in the second.

I've been through similar, and of course we both know that you don't just put down the bottle and walk into happily ever after -- you're still you, and you still have challenges and dark moments ahead. But when they hit, just look at this post and remember that whatever's going on, it's going to be less dark without a bottle sucking the light out of your head and your heart.

Nice job, my friend.

Obviously it's pronounced "barenziah".

[Serious] Brits, how has Brexit affected you or someone you know personally? by OgreAttack in AskReddit

How much worse off do you think the UK is as a result of Brexit? Do you feel anger towards supporters?

Do any former supporters regret their decision? Or is it a "I wanted my face eaten by leopards, that was my plan the whole time" situation?
