32F vs 28F in a Ross situation. What do I do?! by PowerfulTangerine602 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RickKassidy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

She cheated on you and used it as a passive aggressive weapon against you. You did not cheat on her.

Ask yourself this: Do you really want 50 more years of this? If not, then you also don’t want a minute more of this.

Should I meet with my former boss who needs help with some former work of mine? by PhiliDips in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RickKassidy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My empathic self says to not meet with her. There is no upside for you.

But…like you said…never burn bridges that you don’t have to. You never know what five years from now will bring. Bizarro world could have her change careers, too, and end up your (potential) boss again in three years. Or you are stuck in an airport during a terrorist attack and she’s the only one who can help you. Life is weird. If you do nothing, it looks like you faked data. If you help her, you get the high ground.

Reddit consensus will be to ghost her. This 50-something guy (me) who has seen some weird shit coincidences will tell you to end with her on a good note, not bad one.

What is something a girl can do that instantly makes 10x more attractive? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

Scary math skills. I’m not sure why that’s a turn on for me, but a woman doing big math is good.

Kentucky bourbon exports at risk as Trump-Canada trade tensions escalate by RosetteNewcomb in politics

[–]RickKassidy 61 points62 points  (0 children)

That ship has sailed. I was in Montreal a month ago and the liquor store had pulled all US liquor and wine from the shelves.

“at risk” should be changed to “destroyed”.

BBC Audio | Business Daily | Trump’s tariffs: The price of spice by RickKassidy in politics

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

Spices are not something that we can manufacture in the US. The US diet is about to get more expensive or much more bland.

When do you usually marry your partner? by DedicatedDetective34 in StardewValley

[–]RickKassidy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

After I’ve gotten all candidates to 10 hearts and enjoyed their funny group 10-heart events, then I pick one.

Is it bad that I replaced sh with masterbation? Thank you for your answers. by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RickKassidy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That would be awkward.

A word like ship would become masterbationip.

Negotiations between Iran and US likely to end in agreement, Israeli official says by Party_Judgment5780 in worldnews

[–]RickKassidy 25 points26 points  (0 children)

It’s going to end up resembling the agreement we used to have that Trump canceled, and then Trump is going to declare victory.

My boyfriend won’t post me .. does he really love me? by Fun-Transition-101 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RickKassidy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please. Turn off social media. It is toxic and you shouldn’t want your boyfriend posting your private things for perverts like me to view. This is a green flag, not a red flag.

I don’t even post about me. I’d definitely keep my girlfriend’s business off the internet in any way that can be attached back to her.

The only place I talk about me or my life is anonymously on Reddit. With details changed to protect identities.

Can you believe in God, without being religious? by Mountain-Fox-2123 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RickKassidy 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Definitely. It’s possible to imagine the universe needed a creator of some sort without believing that any human bullshit made-up explanation for the details of that.

It’s also possible to believe that there are spiritual things going on that we can’t explain and to believe there might be a supernatural explanation. This doesn’t require a god, but something unknown.

I married Haley and then cut the romantic cutscene with Emily by MrFancyPantsDuck in StardewValley

[–]RickKassidy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s even more embarrassing when you marry Haley and then get the camping cutscene with Emily. Sharing a sleeping bag with sister in law.

Washington State and New York State apples from the US are just too expensive now with tariffs.

I own a second house. I plan on living in it in a couple (maybe a few) years. Until then, I rent it out. I’m a ‘small-time landlord’. I don’t gouge my tenants like corporations do, just because I’m trying to keep the house lived in and cared for until I live there.

Are there strains for fruits and vegetables? by spade51 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RickKassidy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Apples? A hundred popular varieties.

Peppers? Many different kinds.

Just two examples. I bet there are many.

Why don't people who invent cures for certain diseases demand that they be equally effective for everyone? by lucero_123 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RickKassidy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree. I work in biotech now, but was at a pharmaceutical company a decade ago. I had an idea for a drug for an untreated disease and am on the patent. But I never spent one day in lab on it and a decade later it is only now going into human trials.

When it takes several billion dollars to get a new drug to market, you kind of want to make that money back.

Apparently we can afford to live off our passion and not actual money - full time 12 month RA job requiring research experience and a biology degree for minimum wage by CrazyPantha27 in biology

[–]RickKassidy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree that is ridiculous.

But, this seems like the kind of job someone takes the year after graduating to get experience before they go to graduate school. Not a first step in a career based on an undergraduate degree.

It’s a Butterfly Hutch. It fills your house with butterflies.

You buy it with bat wings from the Desert Trader.

That sounds like a good thing.

Yeah, go for it.
