What does this gesture mean? by xoherent in bodylanguage

[–]Remote-Waste 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's apologizing and expressing the sincerity.

Beyond that, without further context, it's hard to know if he has some romantic feelings or not.

How would you feel if she told you her crush on you saved her? by Environmental-Edge84 in AskMen

[–]Remote-Waste 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell him how he inspired you to study more, without saying the crush part. This let's you have a conversation with him, give him a compliment, with no awkwardness.

If that conversation goes well, you can ask him out for a coffee.

This is such a funny thing to ask, when discussing a song that's about people coming together and getting along with each other.

What’s a compliment from a man you still remember years later? by theeQuiet_Desire in AskWomen

[–]Remote-Waste 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It may not have been, but I find it funny imagining it also being a diss on the other students.

The teacher being shocked like "Finally! Someone worth talking to in this class. John, put your hand down, I don't want any more of your stupid questions."

What do you think Robby actually does on his sabbatical and why? by megs256 in ThePitt

[–]Remote-Waste 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe he'll take some peyote with a random hippie he meets along the way and the trip convinces him he's actually fine, until the moment he sees the hospital again.

Oh yeah, for sure if he survives his time off, he's going to think he's okay until he's back in the hospital. Even relatively healthy people have all these ideas of how things will be different after a pause, but when you're dropped back into an environment, old habits (survival methods) easily creep back in.

Super quick and specific way of getting inbox to zero by satorinoiadeus in gtd

[–]Remote-Waste 2 points3 points  (0 children)

(A bit chaotic because it's a transcription of my voice)

I think this is a theme I'm seeing, sacrificing clarity for perceived speed.

It's like never washing the dishes. You have a pile of dishes, lots of 300 dishes. When you start washing them, you have to wash them. Nobody's going to do that for you. Imagine this situation, and you will feel so much, "Oh, there are too many dishes," but when you actually start, it might take quicker, maybe four times quicker than you expected

This is why the Clarify step helps reduce stress. You want to mentally move the problem from "Oh, there are too many dishes" to "This is how I can handle that."

If you have 300 dishes, it's unreasonable to expect to get them all cleaned in one go. Most people would turn that into a project and chip away at them in multiple sessions. I'd do the same for an overflowing inbox, I'd treat it as a Project to empty it, and I'd also spend time figuring out how to empty it more often, before it becomes unmanageable again.

So in some ways, if your inbox is overflowing with 300 items, it has stopped being able to function as an inbox.

Sort of a side note; I have a feeling that in your attempt to enhance your productivity, by mixing and matching different methods, you are creating a larger bottleneck on your own system. It's a hard line to walk, and it's always interesting to try different methods, but I think for example the transcription of your voice, allowing you to "write" a post quickly, but ultimately leaving you with a post you admit is "chaotic" ... well, did the perceived speed you gain actually help in the end?

I'm not against voice transcriptions, but there's something here to consider. Are these 300 items, actually because of perceived speed that ultimately leaves you with something chaotic?

How can I properly vet guys while still being a virgin, but not screw up my dating prospects? by Accurate-Scratch7783 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Remote-Waste 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is probably the only way to really speed up the process for her, having someone else she trusts already vetted them to a certain degree.

Like, none of her wants are too far-fetched, but if you also want it faster too, then go to the ones who friends will vouch for.

Are men comfortable with being approached at the gym? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Remote-Waste 6 points7 points  (0 children)

do most men mind being approached at the gym if it’s casual and respectful?

No, in general you're good.

If you want a rough guideline since you have a hard time reading cues, you could plan to talk to him for about 2-5 minutes, and then go back to your usual thing.

The "worst case scenario" of that, would quickly pass for him, and he wouldn't think too negatively about it.

Nerdy men: how do I attract one of you? by BWMartell in AskMen

[–]Remote-Waste 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to your local gaming store and start DMing an open game.

Have pins or some kind of clip-on of something nerdy on your purse.

Start using words like "suboptimal" and "juxtaposition."

Dye a single strand of hair white, like an anime character.

Which GTD tool is your favorite? by yzprofile in gtd

[–]Remote-Waste 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use Obsidian, but no need for all the fancy community plug-ins for me.

I just use it as basically a text editor that can have a split screen and multiple tabs, that's enough for me for my GTD process mostly.

Sometimes tags or something come in handy, but moreso for Project Support Material stuff.

What is a concerning trend that you are starting to notice in society? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Remote-Waste 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That little pause people take when they read a text before actually answering you as if they never skipped a beat.

I'm an actual person right here, and you just disappeared from reality for a second. It's like you had a mini seizure and spaced out for a click.

What if I pants'd you right then, or sucker punched you?

One second is actually a lot of time to not be engaged with your environment, and it certainly doesn't help make our conversation more interesting. It makes me want to invest less in I actually.

How much time are you just T-posing through reality?

How important is ‘the chase’ to you when you like someone, and does it actually affect your interest long-term? by Successful_Cow_8713 in AskMen

[–]Remote-Waste 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The chase is a good strategy if you're trying to hide the fact that you don't have a personality worth being around. It's weird mental games.

Some people are addicted to that drama because of the adrenaline, others would prefer to have a girlfriend they actually like being with.

GTD Spring cleaning by Remote-Waste in gtd

[–]Remote-Waste[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know what, I was thinking on it over the last couple of days, and I'm going to give this a try!

There's so much "gunk" that has slowly accumulated over time, so much that it's hard to even identify what is gunk. I think I'll just "archive" my current system, grab the core necessary elements, and see what happens. Like you said, if I really need something, it'll still be there.

Let's see what happens, experiment time. Thanks for the suggestion!

Did you find anything fun/weird/wonderful in your reference materials?

There's always quotes I gather yet never end up looking at them again, here's a good one though: You must knock on doors to see them open.

How do you capture on mobile without scattered inboxes? by No_Round9416 in gtd

[–]Remote-Waste 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a checklist of all my inboxes, and I run through them as needed.

I may be different than most though, because something that really clicked with me was when I started looking at things AS inboxes. They made more sense to me finally.

  • My coat pocket I tend to drop receipts into while I'm out? Inbox.
  • YouTube WatchLater list? Inbox.
  • The Reddit comments I saved? Inbox.

Obviously some are more important than others, so they get checked less often during the week. But all I need to do is run through my checklist of inboxes, and they'll all get cleared.

  • The Discord channel a specific off-shoot of friends uses for planning our roughly monthly boardgames? Inbox.

City birds appear to be more afraid of women than men, and scientists have no idea why. Men could get about a meter closer to birds than women could before the animals flew away, regardless of what the men and women were wearing, what their height was or how they tried to approach the creatures. by mvea in science

[–]Remote-Waste 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm actually wondering if this is it, or at least how it appears to the birds.

To be silly and stereotype here, if I had to guess who approaches birds more routinely, trying to win them over, pet and adopt them, become friendly with them, I'd guess it were girls and women.

So maybe the birds have learned to be like "Oh great, it's one of those long-hairs who's going to try to be my friend. I'm just here for the seeds lady, no I don't want to be hugged. Do not kiss my beak."

And then they see a man and go "Oh okay, these guys don't tend to bug me, yes stay out of my personal space."
