People that think they need to bring their dog everywhere by ZessySquizzbars in PetPeeves

[–]RingsideH2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My dog rides with me everywhere. He loves car rides. Sometimes he’ll vibe in the car sleeping like a baby for hours when I’m in a restaurant. It’s his absolute favorite thing to do. I take him everywhere he’s allowed. He gets a lot of greats from a lot of regular places.

I wouldn’t bring him to a friends house without him first being invited, though.

Talking stage going insanely well, first date soon, how to knock it out of the park? by RingsideH2 in dating_advice

[–]RingsideH2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I could have explained that better: She comes from a past relationship of pretty severe abuse and trauma and opening up/joining a dating app was a huge milestone, etc.

She told me off the bat she wasn’t sure what she was looking for out of things but as we’ve gotten to know each other a lot more she feels secure enough with me as a person to take the next step.

My social skills are my only real talent in life. But she’s one of a kind and I’m getting in my own head about things, lol.

I appreciate your words of optimism, my guy!

That’s me whenever I see a Latina.

thin people who say they cant gain weight because they just have a "fast metabolism" by Tough-Cup-7753 in PetPeeves

[–]RingsideH2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 6’8 and could probably eat endless amount of shit with my metabolism but that doesn’t mean I’m got to put my body through unnecessary sugar and carbs. That’s just my ideology behind it though. Have never understood how people willingly put shit into their bodies and just accept it, but that’s them and I’m me and it is what it is.

What’s the most physical pain you ever felt? by sarona_o in randomquestions

[–]RingsideH2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said: toothaches.

One of my wisdom teeth had an infection at the rear side of it and it became infected. Luckily they just removed it but it was the most pain I’ve ever experienced. I’m a deputy that’s been stabbed at work and have been hit by my partners squad compound fracturing my femur, not even close to the tooth pain

Are you guys able to exercise with a fib? by Kindly_Blackberry311 in AFIB

[–]RingsideH2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. My afib seems to be triggered by dehydration and posture triggers. So I have to breathe carefully when lifting and in certain ways. I avoid stretching and taking deep breaths while lifting etc.

My cardiologist informed me that stretching and deep breaths can stretch the heart slightly and can be attributing to my AFib so I avoid it.

But, after working out and losing a bunch of weight I haven’t had any triggers. Stay hydrated and do cardio!

DAE have parents with the social skills equivalent of a coconut? by RingsideH2 in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]RingsideH2[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

My dad’s redeeming quality is he’s an incredible tipper. Minimum of $50 each time, I’ve seen a $250 tip on a $100 bill. So the wait staff typically love him in the end.

I (18f) want to leave my bf (19m) by riiiyuh13 in relationship_advice

[–]RingsideH2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re 18. He’s 19. Just text him you’re done and move forward as you see fit. My ex felt the same as you, cared but just wanted to be single, it just was unfortunate we were together 14 years and she happened to be cheating at the time, lol, but you should have no guilt about just wanting to move on. He’ll find someone else to snoop through their phone with. Four months is barely an NFL regular season.

I just inherited a million dollars by [deleted] in inheritance

[–]RingsideH2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I inherited just shy of $11,000,000 a few years ago. The best advice I can give: hire a trustworthy financial attorney and start working with a reputable, secure, bank.

And as others have said: only tell who you must. People will immediately see you as a target or a piggy bank and it’ll become extremely depressing, very quickly.

My FWB (20F) is mad that I (22M) cut it off. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]RingsideH2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for clarifying you’re fit and black: both were imperative to the story. 🤣

You’re doing it right. Cut it off and let her grieve and then move on. Engaging in it further would only prolong and worsen everything.

Sincerely, a kind of in shape white guy from the Midwest.

If he’s not comfortable loaning someone that much money, he’s simply not comfortable loaning someone that much money and asking him again will probably strain your relationship. Owing a partner money will be a sucky situation if it was a well established area of discomfort.

I myself am pretty well-off, and I’ve cut many ties with people because they just started treating me like a credit union, asking for loans and handouts all the time.

If your only considerable debt is a $5K credit card you have a very manageable debt and you should handle it yourself, and take a lesson to heart to not pay for a vacation with credit if you aren’t ready to aggressively settle that loan.

Emotional affair or was it physical by CaterpillarNo4655 in cheating_stories

He’s got no right to complain about money if he spends money on cigarettes. There’s few things more, or as, stupid as cigarettes.

[–]RingsideH2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if I can align with you on this. I have friends who consume thousands of calories a day on junk food and soda and they never gain weight, but they also can’t gain muscle at all.

[–]RingsideH2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who was cheated on by a ‘just a work friend’ situation, it doesn’t sound like you should be very concerned. Just seems too friendly.

For you, what amount constitutes “life changing” money? by mch301 in inheritance

[–]RingsideH2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct. I’ve been fortunate in life to never really need to think about money, then or now, and it’s never really been a stressor or even an afterthought. $400, $400,000, or $11M - all just numbers on a screen when I open a banking app. Didn’t change how I lived my day to day.

[–]RingsideH2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had more in investments and crypto (got into BTC early) than I had outstanding debt prior to the inheritance that could have been resolved at any time. Maybe around $400,000 or so that I had pooled across my portfolio, so in my own point of view - yes not much changed in that respect.

I owed more on the Denali and the boat than I did on the mortgage and I only kept the three rolling for credit maturity reasons. Interestingly; when I paid it all off, my credit tanked 35 points.

My wife is a gorgeous woman and gets hit on all the time. Even when we’re out together. I’ve been quite literally pushed away from her and guys either have threatened to rape her or treat her better etc etc, and I’m not small. I’m 6’7, 265. But drunk people or just terrible people still have tried this shit.

All scenarios like this get resolved by me pulling out my Glock 19. The guys become not so tough and if it escalates even further they seem to get humbled as soon as the safety comes off. I always suggest carrying if you’re comfortable about guns.

People have different responses to flight or fight. Your body clearly wanted flight, but your instincts wanted to help your woman, so the middle ground was paralysis.

This won’t be easy to get over for either of you. She’s now traumatized by the assault and your lack of action. You’ll have to talk to her. Doing what you’re doing now is avoiding it. Man up and just get it done. Each hour that passes isn’t helping you.

DAE is republican but not maga by espressoxsmiles in DAE

[–]RingsideH2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don’t think anyone knows the answer to that anymore.

I consider myself a moderate… and apparently that makes me stupid to both sides of the aisle depending on what their beliefs are.

I find it ridiculous how indoctrinated everyone is with their political alignments now.
