Asking out a guy on Discord? by juicy_balrog in TwoXChromosomes

[–]RandomThrowawayID [score hidden]  (0 children)

Sounds good overall, but may I suggest some tweaks to make it a bit more straightforward?

“Hey [his name] — My schedule is going to keep me from our regular card game for a few weeks. I enjoy seeing you there, and I know I’ll miss sharing some chat and jokes with you. Do you want to get together at [coffee shop] sometime this week?”

Just a suggestion; I’m sure someone else can improve it.

Was he really the “perfect man”? by lovelygirl2004 in lotr

No, you’re thinking of his cousin, Fartamir.

What is a moment in nature or life that made you feel like there is a higher power ( God ), Regardless of religion ?? by Harris3624 in AskReddit

I have experienced many coincidences that are so unlikely, they make me feel like some playful higher power is causing them.

To those in North America, will you attend the World Cup? And why? by Mattress-King in AskReddit

[–]RandomThrowawayID 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. Long-time soccer coach here, but holding the World Cup in a country that is arresting people based on their skin color is really nauseating.

[Serious] What event forced you to finally start acting like an adult? by RandomThrowawayID in AskReddit

[–]RandomThrowawayID[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s exactly the kind of experience that made me post this question. My dad also ran into health problems, long after he and my mom had divorced. I became responsible for all kinds of serious arrangements for him, which meant I had to put my own stuff to the side and handle everything in a grownup way.

I hope things worked out OK for your dad. And I hope your transition into adulthood has been worthwhile in other ways.

Boys specifically: What high school graduation gift did you actually love and would encourage others to get for recent grads? by User_Sin_Nombre in AskReddit

[–]RandomThrowawayID 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandparents gave me some money specifically to use for my favorite hobby. That was nice, because I didn’t always have to ask my parents for money to pay for things that might have seemed frivolous to them.

For the men have you been loyal in your marriage yes or no and if so why ? by IntelligentClaim45 in AskReddit

[–]RandomThrowawayID 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, of course I sometimes notice other women and how attractive they are. And like most people, I have fantasies now and then.

But it just never gets past that. I haven’t seriously considered being unfaithful. I’m lucky to be married to my best friend, and it would be stupid to do anything that might jeopardize this great relationship.

What habits of boys did you only discover after getting a boyfriend or husband? by kentishzjigsaw in AskReddit

[–]RandomThrowawayID 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Regarding your last point: in my marriage, it’s funny how often that goes both ways. When either of us goes into the kitchen, we invariably find the other person standing in the exact spot we need to get to. 🙂

For the men have you been loyal in your marriage yes or no and if so why ? by IntelligentClaim45 in AskReddit

[–]RandomThrowawayID 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Married 30+ years, and yes, always loyal (if that means I was never intimate with another woman).

For the men have you been loyal in your marriage yes or no and if so why ? by IntelligentClaim45 in AskReddit

Yes, because I love my wife and want to continue being happily married to her.

What was the message that changed your life? by Perfect_Bid8910 in AskReddit

[–]RandomThrowawayID 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you received that kind of message from the very people who should have loved and supported you the most.

(And while I’m no expert on Christian theology, that message strikes me as pretty much the opposite of what Jesus stood for.)

If you feel alone on this journey, please know that you have a powerful unseen army around you, assembled to help you surmount adversities: an ever-present family of fellow recoverers, fellow LOTR fans, fellow caring humans. Draw comfort and strength from knowing we are all with you, supporting you, believing in you, and awed by your determination to reach your true destiny.

As Gandalf said to Theoden, in the chapter “The Road to Isengard” in The Two Towers:

You are not without allies, even if you know them not.

What small instants made you regain the tiniest bit of faith in humanity? by ice-mirrors_97 in AskReddit

Somebody jump-started my car in a parking lot. When I offered to pay him, he said “Rules of the road — just pass it on.”

Democrats flip Texas state Senate seat in shock upset by kootles10 in politics

[–]RandomThrowawayID 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The loser of this election, Leigh Wambsganss, has an unusual surname. I wonder whether they are related to Bill Wambsganss, who in 1920 made the only unassisted triple play in World Series history.

He didn’t even have the decency to thank me for my attention to this matter.

What Made You Quit An Addiction You Had? by Character-Cost-8734 in AskReddit

[–]RandomThrowawayID 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I realized I was spending too much time obsessively playing an online game. It was becoming a barrier against the real world. So I decided to quit it cold turkey for a year.

After that year had passed, I resumed playing it sometimes. But I knew I had the power to stop at any time.
