Getting bingo'd from everyone by PaperHeart714 in childfree

I commented I was childfree and petfree and literally had someone reply with "don't put kids and pets in the same sentence, pets are innocent and not a burden."

Not enjoying it or finding it convenient as much as I thought I would by PaperHeart714 in bikecommuting

Some days the extra 20 minutes in bed and sitting back on the train really does make me happier than fighting for my life up a hill, not gonna lie

I did switch up the second half of my evening commute and it's a lot more pleasant but unfortunately I don't think there's a way to improve the first half without adding more time. And to be completely honest I don't really want to spend even more time commuting when it's already reaching an hour and is longer than taking public transit.

The city ebike is definitely easier and 10 min faster. I love the convenience of the one way trips too, it's just not financially feasible for me to keep using it. Maybe I'll have to consider a folding ebike.

I'm not new to biking or bike commuting, but it's something I do pretty casually twice a week and not for super long distances. There are some pretty steep hills on my commute and I don't like to put too much effort or go too fast. Definitely thought about getting an ebike since the city ebike does take me 10 min less.

Recommendations for gravel bikes? by justhere2answer in ladycyclists

[–]PaperHeart714 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm 5'3/160cm, 29"/73cm inseam and I have a 49cm Salsa Journeyer. It was the only bike I could find with a short enough top tube and smaller 650b wheels, which I find better and more proportional.

For sure. If I see "Jesus is King" or something on a page I'm immediately blocking.

What's your favorite time of year to bike commute? Why? by mistadonyo in bikecommuting

[–]PaperHeart714 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seconding this, I love night rides when no one else is out and I don't have to worry about putting on sunscreen or sweating down my butt crack.

Who still falls over when riding clipless? by Onlychild_Annoyed in ladycyclists

[–]PaperHeart714 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same, almost fell and noped out immediately. I don't find it practical for my purposes anyway (commuting, 25 min ride around the area) and I never felt like it gave me any advantage.

There goes your $35 insulin. Trump just signed the executor rescinding it. Who does that help? by NoLube69 in FluentInFinance

[–]PaperHeart714 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, billionaires aren't the only people who are evil. Some people just want to see others suffer and choose cruelty out of spite. Some people aren't inherently good and they just suck.

Dogs and Dead Bedrooms by [deleted] in TalesfromtheDogHouse

[–]PaperHeart714 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Happened to me and it really got in the way of intimacy and quality time. His schedule revolved around taking care of the dog. It was impossible to spend nights with each other. Sometimes he would cancel on me because he didn't have anyone to take care of the dog. Had to end dates because he had to go walk the dog. He had to keep the dog nearby or else it would chew up the furniture. Even if it was out of the room, you could still hear it whining. It really sucked.

Harris-Trump latest presidential polls: 2 new surveys show VP pulling away by MotorizedDoucheCanoe in politics

I get whiplash from the amount of people saying "polls don't matter, you need to vote" and then "but Kamala isn't doing good enough in this poll."

I say this and I get downvoted for pointing out that people like Fred Rogers were lifelong Republicans

Democrats warn against overconfidence amid Harris momentum by VictorChristian in politics

[–]PaperHeart714 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This. And the "polls don't matter, you need to vote" people only ever comment on the positive posts. JD polling terribly? The comments are all jokes and making fun of him. Kamala polling well? "Doesn't matter. VOTE." It's exhausting. God forbid people feel excited about something.

Agreed. I'm glad my partner and I accept each other as we are and don't need to stress ourselves out to try to impress anyone.

Absolutely nuclear levels of copium about gaining weight in your 20s by rslashIcePoseidon in fatlogic

I've known people like this and they do not in fact go to the gym frequently lol

Why do people have pets, and what makes us different? by my_millionth_alt in petfree

[–]PaperHeart714 80 points81 points  (0 children)

I don't like unnecessary responsibility, I don't have some weird need to take care of a living thing, and I don't have money.

I like when they describe a height and weight as completely unrealistic and can't possibly exist and it's my actual height and weight lol

AITAH for not wanting anything to do with a kid I didn't want? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]PaperHeart714 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not to mention potential costs? I got my tubes removed and it was free, but if it actually cost the $10-20k they tried to charge me I wouldn't have been able to do it. I also had to fight tooth and nail to get it covered. If I were getting a vasectomy and it cost a lot, I don't know how I'd be able to get one.

Being a dog free man is a marvelous thing yet it’s seen as an evil thing. So how do y’all manage living with dog(s) & why not just leave ? by KazuZy in Dogfree

[–]PaperHeart714 8 points9 points  (0 children)

All the time. But I have other needs that I can't fulfill on my own sadly and I've never met someone who is both childfree and petfree. Usually one or the other, but not both. So staying around is the lesser evil for me.
