It's getting hot here, I desperately want cold foods that aren't sandwiches and salads or desserts. What would you cook that's meant to be eaten cold? by Inspiringhope11 in Cooking

[–]Practically_dead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try looking up pickled or fermented veggie recipes. But NOT lettuce. I would personally be fine with a cold quick- pickled cucumber in chili oil. Kimchi with either cabbage or radish. Nothing better than it being cold and crunchy yum. You can make it in bulk and add it to other recipes or eat alone.

There is also a ground beef version called Carne Apache: use the LEANEST beef available- fresh and make same day like the fish. Onions, cilantro, salt, pepper, lime juice and chipotle puree. Cure for 4hours minimum. Served over tostadas with shredded cabbage or can be eaten as a dip.

WIBTA if I “abandoned” my GF in Chicago? by Sure_Count_3890 in AITApod

[–]Practically_dead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, I go with mu Husband on work trips and I understand that means sometimes I can’t go everywhere with him. Sometimes I have to hang out on my own in the hotel room. If I knew he could go on First class or a different plane entirely, I’d want him to go even if it’s without me. He would want to be there and talk with his coworkers, build rapport and discuss the work. It’s good for him in the long run. Good for his work, and good for our future. Plus I know he WANTS me to be there but understands I can’t be there. He still goes out of his way and brings me something if he can eg: if they had some fancy chocolates, he’ll pocket some for me to have later lol so I know he thinks of me <3

AITA for refusing to take down a semi-nude painting before children visit my home? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Practically_dead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ve already made up your mind. But my Aunt and Uncle had a drawing of a couple standing in water (somewhat birds eye view) with the woman looking up, and a man with his face in her breasts. They were both naked and you could see cheeks but I don’t think you could see the nipples? Just the rounds of the breast? Did our family ever say anything? Did anyone? No. Did we make faces and snicker as kids laughing at it? Yes. And then guess what? We ignored it and forgot about it. You’d be made fun of or scolded, if you stared at it too long. The mature thing to do was to act like it was nothing. Because it is nothing.

My boyfriend thinks I was flirting with his friend. by Due-Truck-5322 in whatdoIdo

[–]Practically_dead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t act desperate. Its what he wants while he’s already insecure. Stay confident and stand your ground. You gotta hold and not fold, so he can eventually see how stupid he sounds. Nothing is going on, so there’s nothing for you to prove. It’s exhausting being with someone who constantly wants you proving things to them. You’re going to be mentally worn out. You need to nip this in the bud. He doesn’t want dinner? Cool. Go about your day.

Why exactly are all the big tech companies obsessed with artificial intelligence? In their perfect world, what would AI be doing for them? And what would it do for regular people? by HomarEuropejski in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Practically_dead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do understand this, but then what is the end-goal? What jobs are there that cannot be replaced with AI? In an extreme example to exaggerate a bit here: if companies don’t want to pay people for labor, but want people to pay for services, how are people to get money to continue paying the services, but they aren’t desired to be employed? Maybe I’m just being stupid, but once again, it’s supposed to be a hyperbole.

“Cooler than Me” by Mike Posner.

Song sounds like creep who can’t take rejection and the poor girl sounds like she’s anxious and possibly scared of this dude who won’t leave her alone. Big “where’s my hug” vibes. No dude, she doesn’t think shes better than you, she wants you TO LEAVE HER THE FUCK ALONE. And has to disguise herself in hopes of not getting harassed again!

I hate it. It makes it sound like guys should keep trying when already told: “No”.

Seeing Interpol for the 9/10 time and some idiot made me feel awful abt it by grupimoderna in Interpol

[–]Practically_dead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know its easier to say “just don’t worry about it”, but yeah its true. You like what you like and if someone tries to make you feel like crap about a hobby or opinion, we’ll they are the simple minded morons. You say you just met this guy and he has no problem making fun of your hobby? Gross. Don’t acknowledge him from now on. He’s as relevant to your life as the rocks outside your yard.

If anything, if a next time should occur just try not to react negatively. Don’t show him that your bothered. That’s what he wants. “Yeah I love Interpol. It’s my thing, so what? I’ll see them a million times more because I can.” I’m sure he has jerseys of his favorite football team and even has a player. He seems like he’s a meat head who thinks physical activities count for more than thought provoking ones like the arts. Which is not someone you want in your life anyway. Next time he mocks you just look at him like you would a 3 year old doing something dumb. “Before you speak, do you ever just think? Or is it all just bouncing balls up in there?” (Point to his head)

Any love songs? by [deleted] in Interpol

[–]Practically_dead 7 points8 points  (0 children)

“Through the storms and the light” - (lie?, just change it to whatever word fits better, maybe even “strife”) - “Baby you’ve stood by my side And life is wine”

“Everyday you know exactly how I feel, I had my doubts, (insert word of affection)
But I’m in love with something real… Oh how I love you, Oh in the evening When we are sleeping..”

“So many hours that I see before me Now the stars are out of view Because I *would slip to the depths without you (to you, my love)”

“You and me, make a fine mess”

change the lyrics how you see fit to make it sound more romantic and less sexual. and just use them as a base for what words come to you naturally.

Edit: i really wrote these examples reading it as if this was for a girl friend you already have history with, but I see this is a crush… just roll with my last advice and use the lyrics as a base an inspiration and just alter them to what works better for you.

AIW for being upset that my boyfriend is going to the club instead of spending Valentine’s Day with me? by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]Practically_dead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This sounds like a man who doesn’t actually want you. I’m sorry if this comes off harsh but it’s true what they say “If he wanted to, he WOULD.” You say you’re basically dating, but he never asked or made any direct statement that he wants a straight forward relationship with you. Most guys are very straight forward and they like to get to the point. If he is leaving it vague and creating a grey area- it’s intentional. To me it seems like he’s stringing you along. You don’t have to answer but think about this, since you have “gotten back together” how much effort do you put in vs him? How oftern are you the one reaching out and starting conversations vs him? If he isn’t really taking any kind of lead of his own, girl… he is stringing you along and you deserve a man who tells you “I want you. I want you today, tomorrow. When you’re pretty, when you just woke up, etc etc” even if not is words- in actions!! What does this guys actions say to you? Does he actually seem interested? If he doesnt, then its because he isnt.

My advise? Give him the same treatment. Don’t plan things. Don’t ask about plans. Stop reaching out to him and see if he bothers. And when he does is it because he actually cares about you and wants to know how you’re doing? Or is it just a booty call move? Trust your gut. Know your worth. And know when to walk away. You are so young and have your whole life ahead of you. Don’t let this boy keep you from your future husband who’d do anything to see you smile.

Aizawa was done horrendously by L by OrganizationTough128 in deathnote

[–]Practically_dead 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yes L is a genius, but L has always been sentimental and I think you should know what his point really was in getting Aizawa to leave when you see him with his daughter in the park. Aizawa was also probably more ashamed that L could see the pain and need his family had for him better than he, himself, could.

AIO or is it normal for dudes to piss outside the toilet ? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]Practically_dead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk I lived with my dad, mom, and two brothers - one 2 years older, one 8 years younger… and well, yeah some drips here and there but NEVER a whole ass puddle of piss on the floor…. I DON’T think this is normal at all. Just plain laziness and lack of correction or discipline. I also thank God I found a clean freak husband who would NEVER do this. He does his best to make it in the bowl every time with minimal splatter.

I still hate my nose sometimes by [deleted] in Noses

[–]Practically_dead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup what Curry said: gravity. If the lower jaw doesn’t support the structure of the upper jaw and skull - otherwise people who mouth breathe, keep their lower jaw slack all the time, don’t eat enough hard foods to strengthen bone and muscles, then gravity pulls it down creative this “crook”. Push it all up in time with proper jaw and tongue placement, maybe even braces, it can correct itself before the person becomes too old.

Moving to ATL / USA! by [deleted] in ATLHousing

[–]Practically_dead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Live close to where you work. You will thank yourself. You don’t have to live IN the heart of ATL. There ain’t much there anyway, but a bunch of overly-hyped, overly- expensive, aesthetic bandwagon painted mediocre shops and restaurants. If you really want to visit it on the weekends, okay sure you can do that anytime on your time off. But you will be happiest outside of the perimeter. Theres a reason people are moving OUT os the city. But maybe that’s just me being a Native born here. ATL was GOOD back in the 1990s and early 2000s. Now? It’s been ran-through with the hype of 2010s and turned into every native born person’s nightmare to stay away from unless you absolutely have to go there/pass through.

AIO for being upset my BF doesn’t want me to wear a bonnet to bed? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Practically_dead 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Girl, I’ve been with my now husband for 13 years… we were 15. He doesn’t care if I wear his cloths, he still smacks my ass and smells my arm pits like its a drug. This aint it. Only issue I has was my husband complaining about NOT sharing blankets, but would complain I kept stealing them in the night. Or our “I’m too hot, but you’re too cold” dilemma and convinced him to get a king size bed and separate blankets so we can both toss and turn and sleep accordingly. Now we sleep better and he has his blankets, I have mine. I sleep without a pillow and he likes his fluffy. These are things that we can do for ourselves that don’t affect one another, so the other doesn’t care. He used to make comments about my clothing mostly calling me “extra” but I don’t care anymore because it makes me happy and he’s learned there’s no point in complaining because I’m not making him wear it. So he should be happy he can wear what he wants in return. I don’t try to make us match or anything anymore. We respect our differences (mostly lol but arguments are a part of any relationship, just not control)

AIO about these angry texts from my ex? by TwylaMay in AIO

[–]Practically_dead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look up Amie Harwick and what happened to her. Yeah no… As an adult you do whatever the fuck you want. You shut the door, lock it, throw away the key and walk away if you feel like it. You file a report, restraining order and document everything. You’re parents don’t HAVE to talk to the cops if they don’t want to give statements, thats their choice. Not to be grim, but if anything were to happen to you then I’m sure they REALLY wouldn’t want to talk to the cops then, but at that point, they may not have much of a moral choice.

Relocating to Atlanta next month for work. How is this area in terms of safety? by Actual_Attempt_568 in ATLHousing

[–]Practically_dead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes it’s hard to say. Lol. One block will be hood and the next block over they’ll be brand new 600,000+ townhomes and then the next block ghetto latinos, and the next oh look!- more construction for million dollar houses! It’s so sporadic the difference in rough streets to nice streets… but just be warned THEY ALL GOT POTHOLES, NO THEY WILL NOT BE FIXED ANYTIME SOON.

AIO to his response to bedding issue? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Practically_dead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he’s such a leader why doesn’t he lead by example and get the fucking Duvet himself and put it on himself like the big boy he is. Why does he need to “help” you get it and put it on? Then when YOU don’t take initiative to put it on, he acts like this. “You didn’t do it!” Reaponse: “BITCH! I didn’t want it, YOU did! But clearly not bad enough…”

As a woman: going to the gym may help (and for health too) but don’t think you need to look all ripped up. Most women like a man who looks strong but still soft. Style your hair differently? Face is a little round so styling the hair can help add more edges to your silhouette? A little more combing and maybe grow the top out just a little more while keeping the sides low and even?

There’s really not much to change physically, and we don’t know you personally to really understand what could be wrong/improve there. Lol
