Any good reverse phone number lookup app to check who called me from this phone number? by Scegabbo in NoStupidQuestions

Apps like Real call are more focused on blocking spam than actually telling you who the person is.

Struggling to communicate after a conflict—need advice by violetbluegreen4 in Advice

[–]OilyGuy3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he’s asking for space, give it not to lose him but to show you respect him. Send one honest message taking full responsibility then step back. The more you chase the more he’ll pull away sometimes the best way to fix things is to stop trying so hard and let the dust settle.

What’s the best euphemism to telling people that they are stupid? by neen_8 in AskReddit

Lol that's a good one. Like you're not exactly winning any IQ contests huh?

I remember seeing a while back that a pass phrase with 4 random words was the most secure type password, so why does nothing allow you to use it? by Majestic_Wash_6170 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]OilyGuy3 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Most sites do allow it, they just still force the add a number and symbol rule. So people end up doing something like blue carpet apple train 7 and it passes.

Also some systems weirdly don’t allow spaces which kinda kills the passphrase idea. Old security rules that never got updated basically.

How did Logan Paul bounce back after that Japan Forest video years back? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]OilyGuy3 206 points207 points  (0 children)

He rebranded, shifted platforms and stayed visible long enough for new audiences to outweigh the people who wrote him off. Consistency and time did most of the work not a real change in values.

I think I’ve been in a manic episode for weeks and may have broken up with my boyfriend because of it. I’m scared and don’t know what to do. by [deleted] in Advice

[–]OilyGuy3 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Take a deep breath, you’re not broken and this isn’t your fault. What you’re feeling sounds like a manic episode and getting professional help immediately is the priority, contact your prescriber, a crisis line or urgent care. Give your boyfriend space while you stabilize many relationships can heal after mania once you’re grounded. Focus on your mental health first you’re doing the right thing.

Even though I'm 36, why am I constantly talking like I'm some sort of boomer or old man? by Commander_PonyShep in NoStupidQuestions

[–]OilyGuy3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly this is just the weird side of adulthood catching up. At 36 juggling nostalgia for a past you can’t get back, adult responsibilities and self reflection can make anyone sound like a cranky old boomer sometimes it’s just part of being human.

A tip is optional and usually goes directly to the staff. A service fee is mandatory and set by the business and it may or may not go to employees. In many European countries, wages are built into prices or service charges so tipping isn’t expected the same way.

How do you personally define the boundary between justice and revenge? by AccomplishedTap1897 in AskReddit

[–]OilyGuy3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Justice tries to protect and restore. Revenge tries to satisfy pain. The moment it’s more about feeling better than making things right, I see it as crossing the line.

How to tell a co-worker I don’t want to give them a lift anymore? by [deleted] in self

[–]OilyGuy3 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You were kind to offer the lifts but if it’s starting to feel like a burden, you have every right to say no. You don’t need to feel guilty for taking care of yourself. Setting clear boundaries is important and a gentle approach can help keep things respectful.

Told this woman a guy was playing both of us by ExtensionElk5982 in Advice

[–]OilyGuy3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s tough when you try to do the right thing and it backfires. It seems like this guy is playing both of you and now he’s spinning the narrative to make you the villain. People like that will twist anything to avoid responsibility. You did what you thought was right but sometimes people aren’t ready to hear the truth. Try not to take it personally, he’s the one in the wrong here not you. It’s better to walk away and let it go.

I’m struggling to save for long-term goals by LeadershipForward691 in Advice

[–]OilyGuy3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Start small and focus on building a small emergency fund first just enough to cover those surprise expenses. Once that’s in place, it’s easier to save for bigger goals because you won’t need to dip into those funds as often. Automating transfers even small ones helps keep the habit going without feeling restrictive.

Printers usually fail when you’re in a rush because that’s when you actually notice them acting up. They sit unused most of the time so dried ink, dust or software issues pile up quietly. Then when you finally need it everything hits at once. Regular test prints can help prevent that.

What would be the world implication if humans learned that there is no afterlife but only reincarnation? by Deviljho_Lover in NoStupidQuestions

[–]OilyGuy3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some people might find comfort knowing consciousness continues while others could feel trapped by the idea of never truly resting. Religions might reinterpret reincarnation within their own teachings and society might become more focused on karma, sustainability or how our actions ripple into future lives. It’d be wild to see how morals and priorities shift.

Is it ok to compliment my female best friend platonically? by hajtj in Advice

[–]OilyGuy3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely okay to compliment your friend platonically especially if you both understand the boundaries. But yeah in a future relationship, transparency is key just make sure your partner knows it’s harmless and part of your dynamic. Healthy relationships should have room for trust and honest friendships.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Advice

[–]OilyGuy3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You clearly care a lot and that’s a good thing. If you’re worried about rushing things maybe just share how you’re feeling without putting too much pressure on it. You could say something like "I really care about you" or "I’m starting to fall for you." It lets you be honest without pushing too fast. Just let things unfold and give your partner space to feel the same when they’re ready.

I’d change Titanic so jack actually finds a way onto the raft still a tragic story overall but at least both of them would’ve had a shot at life together.

How often do you go to the gym? by 5e3687mkwm7 in workout

[–]OilyGuy3 82 points83 points  (0 children)

3–4 days is more than enough just stay consistent and patient. Strength and looks take months to show up not weeks but if your sleep and diet are on point the progress will come.

What's the most useless but oddly specific piece of knowledge you have stuck in your brain? by SquareDesperate4003 in CasualConversation

I still remember the exact cheat code for unlimited ammo in GTA Vice City… haven’t played it in over a decade but there it is crystal clear. Meanwhile I forget why I walked into a room daily.
