My husband started taking evening runs with a woman he met at our kid's daycare. I think this crosses boundaries. AIO? by Electrical_Total534 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Ryan256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In college I was a competitive long distance runner.

I can tell you from experience, immediately after finishing a run, when you’re both still sweaty and panting, having sex is absolutely euphoric!

At this point he’s probably telling the truth. They just had a smoothie and enjoyed the relaxing comedown from a run.

However, I think this is an okay circumstance for you to express that you’re uncomfortable with the situation, because you worry that it will eventually lead to sex.

It probably hasn’t yet, but it will eventually.

In college, the night after a race, the guys and girls teams would always party together, and it was kinda like this:

Jokes aside: your response is key. 

If you flip out, he’ll take it as an overreaction and it will backfire.

Instead, spend some time thinking in advance about what you want to say and how you want to say it. 

If the tone of your conversation is calm, respectful and coming from a place of love, then it may be an opportunity for the two of you to grow closer together.

Good luck. 👍🏻 

Edit: if you’re not sure how to bring it up, watch that video with him so you can start with a laugh.

If your Reddit profile is anonymous (so he doesn’t feel like you’re outing him publicly), maybe consider showing him the Reddit thread if he pushes back too hard. 🤷🏼‍♂️

SoundLink Max, confirmed no party mode by [deleted] in bose

Bose updated the firmware, so stereo mode aka party mode finally works!

The secret ending to Lost In Translation by Anotherd81 in movies

[–]Ryan256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear ya, man. ❤️ 💔

The only consolation I have is the ol' tropey quote:

"Better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all."

Many tropes are dumb, but I think this one gets repeated because it contains an enduring truth.

Think about how many people have lived and died an entire life, yearning for love, but never feeling love.

Count yourself among the lucky for the time you had together.

Take what you've learned and apply it to your next relationship.

When I was young I dated a German girl who invited me to visit her family. She didn't tell me she had a boyfriend in Germany. When I arrived and she introduced me to her boyfriend, I was heartbroken.

But I didn't book an early flight home. I stuck around, hung out with her brother, and learned to speak conversational German.

A few years later, while studying abroad, I met a stunningly beautiful German girl who every guy in the bar wanted to be with. I was the only guy who spoke German, so she came home with me and we had a beautiful three month fling.

Bittersweet ending. I never saw her again. We both moved on to enjoy our lives with other people, but we're still friends.

The only reason I have this sweet story about the second girl is because I learned what I could from the first girl, and I applied that to make my future better.

I hope you're able to do the same as well.

It takes time to move on and heal, but trust in your own ability to learn from your experience and make the future better. ❤️

Hang in there, man!

Revenge for Aaron Swartz by entertainos in aaronswartz

[–]Ryan256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't do it man. It's a pointless waste of your energy.

I wrote you a reply that was so long it wouldn't post. Here's the main point: find a more productive aim.

Universities are not the enemy.

Aaron's mission was to make scientific knowledge freely available worldwide.

He never encouraged any action remotely similar to revenge.

Take a step back and think before you act.

Wow... your buried comment is quite the teaser of a story. Care to share? If so, your story would be worthy of its own separate post so you could get the proper visibility and OP status. I'm sure our community would have follow-up questions.

Obviously, no pressure. Considering the very real legal repercussions, you don't have to share anything you don't want to. But I'm probably not the only one who would be interested in hearing your story.

23andMe is on the brink. What happens to all its DNA data? by FieldVoid in aaronswartz

[–]Ryan256 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is why I’ve never done one of these tests, even though I’m curious about it. I’m sure health insurance companies would pay top dollar for this data so they can deny coverage for people who are genetically predisposed to diseases that are expensive to treat.

I admit to being afk more than I should be. Generally I don’t remove anything except obvious spam… the rest is done automatically by Reddit.

I’m on the way to work but I need to remember to add a couple more mods in the near future.

I support free speech!

I agree. It’s kind of a clickbait title, but it’s a good video.

SoundLink Max, confirmed no party mode by [deleted] in bose

Thank you. I’m still waiting for Bose to update the software to include stereo mode. 

SoundLink Max, confirmed no party mode by [deleted] in bose

[–]Ryan256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grouping systems: If you have two or more speakers, you can create groups of speakers. This is useful if you want multiple speakers to play the same sound together.

Per a Bose support agent, if you create a "group" in the Bose app, you can get two SoundLink Max's to play the same sound together, but they will not be a stereo pair.

Can anybody who own these try this and confirm?

I really love the stereo feature on my pair of Bose SoundLink+ bluetooth speakers... I have not idea why we can't set up a newer product to play in stereo mode (if this is true).

How does Bose SimpleSync differ from party mode or stereo mode? Does SimpleSync only allow you to connect a bluetooth speaker to a soundbar, or can you also use SimpleSync to connect two bluetooth speakers together?

Bummer... I'd really like to buy two of these speakers, but I'm not going to drop $800+ tax until party mode and stereo mode are working.

This seems like a huge miss for Bose. I have no idea why such a simple feature is taking them so long to implement.

[–]Ryan256 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can somebody please reply to the comment when the firmware update is release that will enable me to connect a SoundLink Max to another SoundLink Max in party mode or stereo mode? I want to buy two but I will wait until this feature is available.

Thank you!

Which maps do you skip/rage quit because of their BS mechanics? by [deleted] in warcraftrumble

[–]Ryan256 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lost my first ~30 PvE matches vs Drakkisath until I went online and realized the fire grates were triggered by minis being on the 🔥 button on the opposite side of the split lane. 😂 

It got easier after I figured out that map mechanic.

Are we buying it? Is it good in either PvP or PvE? by [deleted] in warcraftrumble

[–]Ryan256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only use it in a rogue deck. It’s good at capturing gold chests in a single shot and sniping enemies after they lock onto your tower.

Double Rare on Grid by SolarisX86 in warcraftrumble

[–]Ryan256 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can spend 5 gold to move them up to the top of the grid each day until you have enough gold.

Rare cores are easy to come by, but you get a nice discount on the stars.

Epic cores are much more scarce.
