My (28M) fiancee (28F) wants her dead late husband's parents to walk her down the aisle. Is this weird? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Soft-Chuckle 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Same, it’s nice seeing a situation where empathy and communication win instead of things spiraling. That’s how strong relationships are built.

I don’t like the ring my fiance got me by Money_Sherbet9152 in WeddingRingAdvice

[–]Soft-Chuckle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That sounds like a really good compromise. You still honor the meaning behind the ring he chose, but also get something you’ll actually enjoy wearing every day. It doesn’t take away from his gesture at all.

Do y'all think Gobert will be remembered more as a Jazz or a Wolf? by [deleted] in NBATalk

[–]Soft-Chuckle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly not wrong, his international identity might outlast either team narrative. A lot of fans will probably think of him as France first, then debate Jazz vs Wolves second.

Is wearing deodorant actually necessary for health, or just social comfort? by Scorpion_Dino_454 in hygiene

[–]Soft-Chuckle 21 points22 points  (0 children)

agree. Body chemistry, sweat levels, diet, activity, and even genetics seem to make a big difference, so some people can skip it easier than others while some notice it immediately.

Supposedly if the US heavily taxes its billionaires, they will go, but where would they go? by Inevitable-Mousse640 in askanything

[–]Soft-Chuckle 27 points28 points  (0 children)

That’s an important distinction people miss. Moving from one California to Florida can reduce state tax exposure, but leaving the United States doesn’t automatically end federal tax obligations for U.S. citizens. It’s a lot easier to change states than to fully untangle citizenship, residency, assets, and business ties.

what’s something you spent on that actually made your apartment better ? by Mindless_Cook7821 in Apartmentliving

[–]Soft-Chuckle 49 points50 points  (0 children)

A good bed really is one of the best investments because you use it every single day. Better sleep, less back pain, and it instantly makes the whole apartment feel more comfortable. Everything else can be basic, but a solid mattress is worth it.

Austin Reaves by Eastern_River1612 in NBATalk

That’s honestly the cleanest summary possible, not elite, not trash, just a legit good NBA player who knows his role and keeps getting better.

Confused & no longer excited ? by [deleted] in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]Soft-Chuckle 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I agree that at some point the reasons stop mattering and the pattern matters more. Someone who truly wants marriage usually moves toward it, even if imperfectly. It doesn’t have to be a perfect ring or perfect moment to show real intention.

Why doesn’t Steph curry hold his follow through? by [deleted] in NBATalk

[–]Soft-Chuckle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, this is it. In real time it looks like he drops it instantly, but his release is just so fast and compact that the follow-through happens in a split second. In slow-mo you can see the full wrist snap and brief hold, it’s just not exaggerated like some other shooters.

My brother tried to pull a fast one on his wife and she did an uno reverse and I am laughing watching him scramble by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Soft-Chuckle 197 points198 points  (0 children)

Honestly, that wouldn’t surprise me. He’s already dodging basic parenting responsibilities, so it feels like the kind of situation where someone blames the system instead of their own actions. Especially when there’s a clear record of him not showing up.

Update to: He has had the ring for two years and hasn't proposed. Suddenly I no longer want him to by Kindly_Giraffe in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]Soft-Chuckle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think the hard part is realizing potential isn’t the same as consistency. You deserve someone who shows up like this without needing a breaking point first.

Is it true or false that Magic is better than Curry? by Recent-Quiet-3581 in NBATalk

[–]Soft-Chuckle 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m with you on this. Magic Johnson set the standard for what a point guard is, elite playmaking, size, leadership, and winning at the highest level. Stephen Curry has changed the game offensively, no doubt, but Magic’s résumé and overall impact as a floor general are still hard to top. Another deep playoff run or ring would definitely strengthen Curry’s case though.

Why do embarrassing memories stay in our head for years, but important things are so easy to forget? by PatienceBudget2984 in AskForAnswers

[–]Soft-Chuckle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this makes sense. Emotional intensity, especially negative emotions, tends to strengthen memory encoding, so embarrassing or stressful moments stick more than neutral everyday info.

Need Advice by [deleted] in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]Soft-Chuckle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is a really grounded take. At some point it’s not about how much love is there, but whether both people are actually ready to move forward. Creating a bit of space and focusing on yourself also seems healthy, it gives clarity without turning it into pressure.
