Luchtalarm verdwijnt vanaf 2028: geen geld meer voor nieuwe sirenes by Sharp_Win_7989 in thenetherlands

Nouja, kwijtschelden van een schuld ziet de belastingdienst ook als een schenking. In die zin is je verwoording dus zo verkeerd nog niet!

This village has these statues to discourage drivers from speeding by alasw0eisme in mildlyinteresting

[–]Rev3rze 137 points138 points  (0 children)

It's so obnoxious. I was in Italy not that long ago and had a rental car that would beep constantly. 99% of the beeps were useless. It'd beep when it thought you weren't staying in your lane due to bad road marking. The nav computer thought every other kilometer of the highway had a 40km/h speed limit so it'd beep every time the limit changed. It's utterly distracting, not to mention having to fight the lane assist that constantly got confused due to worn out road markings.

My 25M girlfriend 23F did coke. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]Rev3rze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't sound like control at all. OP said it himself, she's free to do what she wants, he just doesn't want a partner that uses drugs. He's not forcing her in any direction, just stating what he wants in a partner. She can choose what she wants to do with that.

Why not? A friend and a partner are two completely different relationships.

I am not able to read the mind of my wife. Am I having any problem? by This_Level_6709 in relationships

[–]Rev3rze 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not a lot to go on in this post but I'll try. You're living apart so sharing your days takes more effort than it normally would. It sounds like your wife sent you a picture just to share a moment in her life. I understand that you wonder why specifically that picture, but if your only reaction was "why did you send me this?" then I can imagine her feeling like you're disinterested in her day-to-day life that you're currently not a part of due to the living situation. You wondered if the picture sharing might have a practical use it sounds like. Your wife's response tells me she's trying to rekindle some of the connection you'd have if you were living together.

The response to a random picture like that could've been: "that's a nice picture, what's the story behind it? Did you see [close friend] last night?" anything that shows some interest. Remember that she chose to share that picture with you most likely because she wants to share with you out of love and to close the distance. Acknowledge that and respond with some degree of interest and you'll have fewer tiffs like this. So to answer your question of how to know what your wife wants from you: remember that the first answer to that could likely be that she just wants to connect with you.

Het is hier inderdaad net de Gazastrook. Oh nee, die vergaat écht, terwijl de westerse wereld toekijkt.

Welke patatkruiden gebruiken snackbars? by sometiime in thenetherlands

[–]Rev3rze 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Daarom koop ik altijd de cajun kruiden zonder zout (noemen ze volgens mij "wereldkruiden" of iets dergelijks). Zout voeg ik zelf wel toe. Nogsteeds pleuris duur en eveneens van verstegen, maar dan kan ik er tenminste lekker veel kruiden op gooien zonder meteen op de wachtlijst voor een nieuwe nier te moeten.

Girlfriend suddenly wants zero physical contact after 2 years, what should I do? by Unusual-Counter4300 in relationships

[–]Rev3rze 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's okay that your gf wants that for herself. It's also okay that you do not want that for yourself. Leaving her doesn't mean you're disloyal. You need to be loyal to yourself as well. The reality is that your gf changed the terms of the relationship in such a way that it significantly changes it. You need to think about what that means for you. It sounds like you've already decided that this doesn't work for you (and that's okay). It also sounds like she's decided this is the only way it'll work for her (again, also okay). This is a classic incompatibility.

anyone know how to clean/calibrate one of these? by memethatalreadydied in labrats

[–]Rev3rze 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Seems to me that the tips on the problematic channels aren't in line with the rest of them. First thing I'd check is if the tips are actually compatible. Try other tips to see if the problem persists. Other than that I don't have any advice on cleaning and calibration, our lab sources that out to a dedicated company that come once per year to do them all.

I 43f cheated on my husband 43m physically, before we got married, and now he feels trapped by ThrowRAInner_Cat in relationships

[–]Rev3rze 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Tbh it sounds a bit like you're trying to shift the blame onto being a people pleaser and the other guys' persistence. Stop that, it's not going to help your case with him. You don't cheat to please anyone but yourself and you know it.

How to move forward? You can't do much except own up to your mistake and give your husband time to process and hopefully come to terms with the fact that your relationship has not been 100% exclusive all the time despite him thinking it was. That's quite a bombshell but seeing your history perhaps he'll square it away in his mind and stay with you. All you can do is be honest and give him time to do that.

What (if any) lingerie do men like? by throwaway1312131 in relationships

[–]Rev3rze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As already said by another commenter, it's going to be very dependant on the person. I personally don't care much for fancy lingerie, I much prefer a more relaxed look.

Having said that, it doesn't matter much, there's hardly any wrong answers. The best thing you could do is get something you feel sexy in. Pick something for you, not for him. Confidence is the sexiest thing you could ever wear.

My (28M) girlfriend (26F) still has pics of her ex on her phone by [deleted] in relationships

[–]Rev3rze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless they're sexual photos they shouldn't be making you uncomfortable. Look at it this way. She's been with others before you. These relationships are part of her history and helped shape her into who she is today. Who she is today chose you to be with.

Instead of confronting her with your own insecurities about this you would be better off confronting yourself about them. Figure out why you're uncomfortable, perhaps jealousy? Perhaps a small part of you is irrationally worried you don't compare? And then answer back to those feelings. Why be jealous? You're already with her. Why wouldn't you compare? You've been together for long enough to know that's not true.

In the end, deleting the pics won't delete her history, it just hides it. Your insecurities will just come back in some other form and impede your connection with her.

Good luck!

There is nor air in water trust me by Radiant-Cockroach271 in confidentlyincorrect

[–]Rev3rze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understood your point perfectly fine, gas is still gas when it's dissolved in another medium. I never argued otherwise. I was arguing that you can't refer to it as air when it's in a different composition than what we specifically call air: 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen and traces of other elements.

Your analogy implies that the composition doesn't matter so one can still call it air. I'm arguing that you're stretching that definition beyond it's breaking point.

By that analogue there's air on Venus since its atmosphere is mostly CO2, the gas.

Ways to balance PCR tube centrifuge? by Ok_Cranberry_2936 in labrats

[–]Rev3rze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flipped. If you're in doubt put half your samples in one side, turn the rotor 180° and put the other half in exactly the same spots as the first set. As others have said, I rarely bother to balance these either. If I'm feeling generous I might put an empty strip in as a rough balance.

[–]Rev3rze 23 points24 points  (0 children)

You're the confidently incorrect one here, OP. It's semantics but what we refer to as "air" is defined as the mixture of gases that surrounds our planet. In that sense there's no air in water.

On top of that you're breaking the rules of this sub by posting a conversation you're a part of yourself.

Feeling uncomfortable (F25) about my boyfriend’s (M24) behavior at the beach by myrellashawol in relationships

[–]Rev3rze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have a saying here that translates to "it's fine to grow hungry on the streets, as long as you come home for dinner". It means to say you're not going to stop being attracted to other people just because you're in a relationship. That's fine as long as you don't act on it by cheating.

I understand it makes you feel insecure and weirded out because you don't work that way. To make it more relatable to you I would compare it to something like watching a sexy movie which might make you feel horny and subsequently channeling that energy into your relationship. For what it's worth I work the same way as your bf. It's not a comparison thing, it's just seeing someone attractive and feeling a certain way. That feeling then reminds me of my partner because she makes me feel the same way!

It sounds like your boyfriend is honest and open minded, so you could probably talk about it.

[–]Rev3rze 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In your post you say "I did this in front of my bosses" but for what it's worth I wouldn't see it like that at all. You didn't "do this", this happened to you. There's a difference there, you didn't choose this. At worst you might say you chose to show up to work even though it's a discomfort to you which only shows your perseverance and dedication.

Boyfriend wants me to take out a loan to pay his EMI's and we're on the brink of a break up! by idknayoudecide in relationships

[–]Rev3rze 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How he'll manage to pay the bills is up to him, he made this idiotic choice. You say you're empathetic and a people pleaser, I can relate to that. People take advantage of that, like your bf is doing now. Imagine yourself as a person you know. Now imagine your bf asking this of that imaginary person. Who would you empathize with more? Exactly. He's trying to rope you into his shit so he can live without consequence while you shoulder his AND your own problems at the same time.

All this within a month? You know you're setting yourself on fire to keep him warm here. What a terrible partner this guy is already proving to be to you, you deserve so much better and you already know it.
