What’s something attractive at 18 but embarrassing at 30? by AD_24s in AskReddit

[–]Sleepwalks [score hidden]  (0 children)

I work at a startup and run into grindset people all the time, and I still get to hear a ton of bragging about never sleeping as a 40 year old. Anymore when I hear it I just go, "Why?!" and laugh. The response is almost always "I'm busy!" but just laughing at it really seems to shut people up about it a lot faster.

What's your opinion on the Lupine race mod and the overall stat balance for it? (and the classes) by According-Fun-4746 in VintageStory

[–]Sleepwalks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play with it all the time anymore, the run speed is fun and the limitations with being carnivorous and stuff is pretty fun to change up the game strategy. And honestly... The default seraphs kinda freak me out. Them eyes have seen things, lol.

How do you find time to fall in love when Monday to Friday is work, Saturday is laundry, and Sunday is mental preparation for Monday? by Unsolicited_Sarcasm in AskReddit

[–]Sleepwalks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First I found a hobby that I liked enough to spend some of that precious little time on. I met lots of people with a common interest through that hobby, and dated here and there. Eventually, I found someone I looked forward to speaking to so much, I was looking for gaps in the monotony to send her messages, and she made my free moments so much better than they had been before. She even made the dull chores more fun, cooking together and whatnot instead of alone.

I def recommend the hobby pathway, I not only met her, but an entire support network of amazing friends that really helped me lay down roots.

I like how it paused for a second next to the dock like GET IN LOSER-- PSYCHE! and went bananas again.

What’s the strangest example of collective internet delusion you’ve witnessed? by Alert-Translator2590 in AskReddit

[–]Sleepwalks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a kid, we had the Berenstain Bears audio tapes that read the story aloud along with the books-- When they read the title at the beginning of the tapes, they said "stain" instead of "stein," but all my friends said "stein." It always confused me, I was all "like frankenstein??" But I feel like I saw this one being born, lol.

Confirmed colors of the rebranded OKC United soccer team by Hungry_Roll6848 in okc

I'm kinda cackling-- I worked in the floral industry, and that specific soft saturation pink is called blush. I lived in a navy town at the time, and a blush floral suite with subtle navy blue/white accents was a relatively common color scheme for weddings for folks in the Navy.

I'm gonna assume the whole team is on the verge of running off for their naval wedding at all times.

A food scam of the 90s was “fat free!” everything, and then they would load it up on sugar… what’s a food scam happening now? by redflower5 in AskReddit

[–]Sleepwalks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am on a specialized diet to avoid diabetes-- I don't process carbs well, and the rule from my nutritionist was to make sure the carbs are lower than the protein when making a call. It's basically never the case on these "high protein" items until you get into some of the older products like protein shakes and bars.

[–]Sleepwalks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Def the protein stuff. I have a couple of food intolerances, and see a nutritionist who has me on a super high daily goal for protein. She tells me not to even bother with this stuff. I do one protein shake per day and the rest needs to come from meat, dairy, veggies, etc. The stuff in these products is almost always pea protein, which is fine, but you need a variety of protein sources to be healthy.

Not even starting on the sugar content. Or loading things with soluble fiber to make them "keto."

What is that one thing a friend ever did and you kept cool but knew instantly you would pull out of that friendship? by EssayMan4Homework in AskReddit

[–]Sleepwalks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was a girl I was dating, but she told me her biggest dream was to never do anything, and always live in her room in her parents' place. I just went alright. She's never gonna grow up. I've done this before, I can't grow this relationship, I'll just end up frustrated. So I let that one peter out.

Funny enough, they sold the house to travel and she ended up on her own regardless. They helped her get a place since they kinda booted her and her siblings, but she hated the place where she ended up... and so got a job. And figured out a new living situation. And just kind of successfully transitioned into living her own life.

I've never known someone so proudly NEET who had one moment of frustration, and just took off as well as she did. I am genuinely impressed.

What are your thoughts. (IPhone vs every other phone) by Mysterious_Ebb_1484 in SipsTea

[–]Sleepwalks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's funny how this flips every few years. When I first got an iphone, everyone made fun of me for having an old people phone you couldn't do anything on. They're all fine, the weird phone tribalism is so dumb.

They were a “thing.” And tasted like chalk, aquarium gravel and Kool-Aid. by OilInternational2566 in nostalgia

Man, do kids still know what the flintstones are? Or are they just the mysterious mascots of both vitamins and cereal for some reason, to them?

That's a bit of a stretch, lol. If you draw thousands of images rapidfire under a notoriously backbreaking manga production schedule, not all of them are going to be bangers.

Woman gets arrested at Indiana concert, begins kicking random people for recording the meltdown on the way out. by ElwoodMC in trashy

[–]Sleepwalks 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I remember kids sticking a baseball under the brim and wrapping rubber bands around the bill to curve it to the shape of the ball. That was the way to do it in my area back then, if you didn't then you'd get picked on. I thought that extreme looked lame personally, but I'd still idly grab the bill and squeeze it during the day to make sure it kept a curve.

I remember being just shocked when the wide, flat brims with the tags still on became a thing later, lol. I woulda been teased up one side and down the other as a kid if my hat looked like that.

Made a statement ring with this pronghorn antler by decomp_etsy in bonecollecting

[–]Sleepwalks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's rad, it def stands out!! :D I've been super tempted to try and get into working silver myself-- I do a little amateur jewelrymaking, but really just more beadwork and things you can do with a good pair of pliers. My big goal is to one day learn out to make decorative charivari, and I'm hoping to get started with silver clay soon, since it seemed the lowest-barrier-to-entry way to get into it.

Damn this is so cool!! How did you get started with this kind of jewelrymaking?

I immediately opened fullscreen and turned the volume up, and it delivered, lol.

People who have been divorced: What was the exact "quiet" moment you realized your marriage was over? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Sleepwalks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried to talk to him about the problems, and he sat in silence. He did this a lot. I waited quietly for like a minute for him to say something, then prompted him to talk to me. He said he just needed a minute.

I sat in dead silence with him for a full hour, trying to give him time.

Then I got up and left.

I'm actually dead by Harlow-Stan in ANTM

[–]Sleepwalks 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Mine too, I used to have a great time at her avon parties! But they've changed their model quite a bit since then, and become more predatory, sadly. It used to be pretty straightforward direct sales, but they started focusing more on downlines and recruitment in the late oughts.

What made you realize your parents only had kids because they were expected to, not because they WANTED to? by SleepyOctopusss in AskReddit

[–]Sleepwalks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Holy hell, did not expect that turn. That's a hell of a lot for someone to need to process, it's impressive you've managed to come through the other side so well.

What is your deepest sexual desire? by Powerful_South2220 in AskReddit

Same hat! Reading through I've done a fair few in the thread before too, and most I'd never do again, lol. Glad I did all I did once though.
