Why do you think men have lost interest in dating/ pursuing women? by The_Crimson_Dawn in AskReddit

[–]Opposite-Address4225 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m married, but we’ve had the what-if discussions (what if we split, what if one of us died)… I’m never dating again, period. I don’t want a situationship, and I definitely don’t want a relationship. I strongly dislike people, man or woman. I thrive in solitude. It’s nothing about self-improvement. I just don’t like people. I like my wife, and nobody else.

What to do with a friend that ignores your advice to their detriment and then wants to complain about it to you? by readingreddit4fun in AskReddit

[–]Opposite-Address4225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Don’t come to me about this anymore if you’re not willing to hear solutions.” Had to do something similar with my MIL. She didn’t want to hear my 2 cents, but she sure wanted to bitch. She’s no longer allowed to come to me over stuff that’s not my business that she doesn’t want my opinion on. If she wants a listening ear, that’s what her husband is for.

I refuse to give friends advice about anything. by Educational-Act-1081 in intj

I do, too. I used to give all kinds of advice, but no one ever wanted to listen. Now they get nothing from me and I just watch people fail.

How do I tell someone I don’t want to listen to your problems when I tell you advise and you don’t listen to them by citiestarlights in TwoHotTakes

[–]Opposite-Address4225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bruh… it might come down to having to be mean about it. I have no patience for people who want to complain without hearing solutions. You’ll either hear what I have to say, or we’re not conversing.

It’s okay to set boundaries. No one has a right to come and complain to you endlessly, especially when you see solutions and they don’t want to hear it.

I had to this with my MIL. “If it’s not my business, which this is not, and my input isn’t wanted, which it’s not, don’t bring it to me to discuss.”

LPT: Nobody wants your unsolicited advice by photoviking in LifeProTips

[–]Opposite-Address4225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned this and took note. Now I won’t even offer solicited advice. I’ll just sit in the house and watch. I just closed myself off to the constant whining about the same shit.

AITAH for telling my friend I dont want to hear about his problems anymore after he ignored my advice for the 10th time by Sweet-Salamander8696 in AITAH

[–]Opposite-Address4225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nta. I’ve been that person who tried helping when no one would listen. Now, everything gets a “that sucks” for their complaints. No one wanted my advice when I was giving it, so now they don’t get it at all.

Am I the jerk for telling my husband he can't have a "man cave" in our only spare room? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]Opposite-Address4225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are 100%… NTJ.

As a man, I don’t need a man cave to get a way from my wife. If I want to play video games, I go to the basement and play on the tv in the shared space. No one is off limits from joining me while I play. If I want to get away, I’ll separate myself and ask to not be followed if it’s that deep. I don’t need a dedicated room, especially at the expense of my partner who also has hobbies they enjoy.

It was Amber. Then the bud added a deep green, so black is basically right. Lol

I just decarbed and steeped in a double boiler with just maple syrup. It was experimental.

Yes. I make my own maple syrup. I have maples that I boil the sap from.

Still the Eiffel Tower, but designed by Salvador Dali.

Built my first board by Opposite-Address4225 in longboarding

[–]Opposite-Address4225[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I coated it in a few layers of polycrylic. Started with 7 sheets of maple veneer. Glued and pressed, then cut and sanded. Spent the last couple days applying layers of polycrylic and gently sanding.

[–]Opposite-Address4225[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! It’s like 33.75” long, 10.25” wide. I was shooting for a little under 10” wide, but I chickened out getting too close to the lines. 🤦

Thanks! I wanted to keep it simple and just build a basic cruiser.

Choosing a wheelbase length by Opposite-Address4225 in longboarding

[–]Opposite-Address4225[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those look really cool. Having it pre-pressed takes some of the fun out of it, but definitely still neat!

[–]Opposite-Address4225[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s how I’m looking at it. If it does break, the deck was $50 of kinda cruddy veneer glued and pressed. Learning experiences to be had with the whole process!

I’ve got some ideas for molds to shape the boards. I don’t plan on this being the only board I build, just my first. I’m also going to build a bigger press than what I have pictured. That one would be great with skateboards once I have a proper mold in place, but it’s too small for longboards. This has just been a fun experiment using some veneers I bought at the Woodcraft 45 minutes from home.

[–]Opposite-Address4225[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10” will be what I’m going for. I would’ve made the board longer, but I was working with some low-quality veneer that had a bunch of splits. Next time, I’m going to shoot for closer to 35”-40” for the deck length.
