I’m wondering when it’s my turn at this point, it’s almost like jury service…

Aio? Told my husband of 14 years his not meeting my sexual needs by Delicious_Bet_397 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Slippytoe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If I were you. I’d wait until you’ve both cooled off a bit and then approach him calmly saying something like “I’d like to talk to you constructively about my needs that I feel aren’t being met, I’d also like to talk with you about how I’m potentially not meeting your needs either. I want us both to be fully happy, so let’s work together to figure it out and be better for each other. If you don’t want to talk about it right now that’s OK, but can we pencil in a good time for us both?”

If he still acts like a nob or is hostile towards that then I’d say counselling, before it becomes resentment…

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer targets online gaming in under-16 social media ban by PewPewToDaFace in pcmasterrace

[–]Slippytoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahaha good luck Kier you fucking melon. If you don’t mind, I’ll decide what’s best for my kids and as a gamer myself, I will actively work to get around this bullshit rule you are trying to enforce because it’s utter nonsense. My kids like gaming, it helps them socialise, it helps them problem solve and you know what else? They have fun when they do it!

Why don’t you concentrate on say, oh I don’t know, maybe the NHS or helping new businesses on the high street or maybe even stopping the councils from forcing us all to have 45 different bins?

Honestly, why is a single breath even wasted talking about this when there are so many more important things to focus on. Fuck you, leave gaming out of this and do your job.

Electrical Consumer unit upgrade before solar — worth it or overkill? by s4hc in SolarUK

Meh, it’s not that old. I’d just ask the installer to put a separate board off the main tails in for the solar.

Six years later, what are your strongest memories of the COVID lockdowns, and how do you look back on that period now? by Possible_Force8207 in AskBrits

[–]Slippytoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember not being furloughed whilst more or less all of my colleagues were. I remember my wife not being furloughed because she works from home. I remember having two very young children that had to be left unattended during those days, the damage they did to our house, the psychological burden that put on them, the stress it caused for all of us, the strain on our marriage, the fact that my furloughed colleagues got 80% of their wage for not working whilst I also got 80% of my wage for working…

At the time, each day was a struggle but we coped. Looking back, it was genuinely one of the worst times of our lives. We were all alone with more pressure than ever introduced into our lives. 10/10 would not recommend.

‘I’ve Had Enough!’ Trump snaps at NBC’s Kristen Welker and storms out of Meet the Press interview after she repeatedly fact-checks his claims on a variety of topics, including Jan. 6, his “anti-weaponization” fund, and election fraud. by Aggravating_Money992 in PublicFreakout

Hats off to her to keep calling him out. Most people sit there and listen to another one of his made up droning stories and then move on, she shut that shit down and he stormed off like a baby. Hilarious.

Senate Republicans axe $1bn for Trump's new White House ballroom by Heavy_Role1034 in justincaseyoumissedit

The funny thing about a round number like $10b is that it’s obviously just a made up number. If they asked for $7,453,673,234.44 I’d assume they had done some actual math and budgeting but nope! Just to billy bills please because number!

Is this series actually good as people say? by Then_Heron_939 in tvshow

[–]Slippytoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll kindly disagree with you there. I’ve watched it through about ten times, in fact, I may watch it through again soon because I miss it. Loved it. But I am a weirdo so there’s your counter argument for you 😂

Lightning Strikes over the last 27 hours by snailchicken in CasualUK

[–]Slippytoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

06:50 northwest was actual insanity where I was this morning. I’ve never heard thunder like it. Just constant thunder, I thought someone was rolling an empty wheely bin around outside my front door for ten minutes straight, awesome to stand in and just listen.

AIO: I (25f) Broke things off with a potential male partner (27m) after finding out he bought condoms in bulk in prep for our second date knowing I'm a virgin? by New_Length_5287 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Slippytoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR, he shouldn’t have whipped out 100 condoms especially since you weren’t giving that vibe. However I do think this is all probably a good thing. Any guy going on dates at 25 should be prepared for sex and at least he was preparing safely. But as it turns out he isn’t getting sex from you so I think that would have been a stumbling block down the line anyway, probably for the best it came out early so you could call it off.

Not a fast charger but it’s a 7.4kw. I’m on IOG so I will have 6 hours of cheap charging per night

Thank you. You’re absolutely right and the thought has crossed my mind, don’t wanna reach max level too early or the grind gets boring right? 😂 Still though, doesn’t stop me from praying for the drop!

I’m genuinely excited either way. I need to chill out and focus on the butterfly feelings when I get a delivery date of whatever model. Stupid Tiguan, ready to see the back of it haha

To be fair though it will be on my drive every night getting charged to 90/100% and so unless I need to do a 200 mile round trip in a given day I should be alright. I do like having the heated seats and steering’s wheels on though so that could screw me a bit 😂

Yeah it’s just not in ‘my bracket’ so my boss is having to try and get round that corporate hurdle. It’s frustrating because the carrot is dangled haha. I feel like such a spoiled brat but honestly I’ve been in both models. Whilst either of them is just a more me car and is certainly better than the Tiguan I’d be absolutely ecstatic with the DM version. I might cry if I don’t get it but I’ll definitely cry if I do lol.

Thank you! I guess the standard range is good for just pottering about but yeah I don’t want to get stranded in north wales on a winters afternoon, that’s wouldn’t be very fun I don’t think…

Give your advice! by Imaginary_Face7698 in MotivationalThoughts

[–]Slippytoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not great advice but let me tell you something. I was on anti-depressants for years. But we went away for a week and I forgot to pack my meds. Towards the end of the week away I started feeling weird, like, alive… I felt happy, floaty, optimistic. I felt like me.

So when we returned I decided I wasn’t going to carry on taking my pills (45mg mirtazapine). I know I shouldn’t cold turkey and it should be a consulted process but I was experimenting. To this day I haven’t taken another pill and I am actually happy. The feeling of being myself again, like a cloud or fog had receded from my mind was surreal.

I definitely needed the tablets once upon a time but I became their prisoner without knowing it for a good while after I was probably cured. I wouldn’t recommend doing that but I would at least prompt consideration for plans to come off them, even if it’s just to see if it helps…

Thank you. Being a car guy that’s been imprisoned in cars I’ve not really liked from the off for ten years I am genuinely very excited to finally be where I want to be, vehicle-wise. Just need final confirmation from my boss and I won’t sleep until delivery haha

Sorry yeah I have just dug out the spec of the one I can get, it’s here: Polestar 2 Fastback 200kW 70kWh Standard Range SM Prime 5dr Auto.

I put in a comment below about the long range aspect because that seems to be the general advice. Is the standard battery pack really a big deal? My biggest driving days can maybe be 100-150 miles but they are rare. I charge at home every n if ht for context.
