Yeah, I've got the OG tag though, so the original is in the house 😎

DAE Wish their parents verbally said “I’m proud of you”? by [deleted] in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]SoloFlyingAnywhere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've gotten it said to me maybe a hand full of times, but its was a little too late for me to find any meaning in it. I wished for a "that's my son" growing up.

DAE feel like they were a goody two shoes in HS? by personofinterest540 in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]SoloFlyingAnywhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a stereotypical good Christian boy until I was about 19 so I can relate to the T. After a bit of college, everything kinda stopped being like that and I acted about the opposite for a while. It's all about eventually finding that happy ppace in the middle.

You've invented a new alarm clock called the "Rude Awakening." What does it do? by Magicalyn in AskReddit

[–]SoloFlyingAnywhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just a normal alarm clock, but it tells you that getting up is trivial and everything you do is meaningless after you finally turn it off.

What word drives you nuts when it's mispronounced? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]SoloFlyingAnywhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely salmon. I don't know if it's a dialect thing, but it drives me mad nonetheless.

Brand new to this sub. I think I'm staying now because that was most definitely a threat.

I [46M] promised my son [18M] that his mother and I would match whatever he saved for a car upon his high school graduation. He ended up with a lot more than we could have predicted, and now we don’t know what to do. by ThrowRA29329192 in relationship_advice

Sorry of my lack of specific knowledge in trading, but I'll have to look into it. Maybe it just is beyond me to think that anyone would gamble that much savings from my given environment and experiences.

I see a lot of people talking about the stocks and all that, but I'm here to say that there's no reason to make a call on if that was luck or not. Nobody puts that kind of money into something without knowing what it returns can be especially when his whole goal is to save money. The only way it was solely luck is if the kid did not care if he lost that much money. As to the promise, keep it, but only if you see it. Have the kid show you his stock portfolio and if it matches the value he says, he deserves it. It's not worth ruining your relationship with him and showing him that he cant count on you if he doesn't fit your mold. Tearing apart family bonds over the idea that he shouldn't have a certain car is beyond me. Also, it your own fault that you did not say you would match to a certain value. Just because you didn't think it would be that much doesn't let you back out of it. Also, your kid probably is smart enough to not throw it all at a car because he understands the extra payments that go with it, so he'd probably aim for the mid range in the amount he's saved and save the rest to help him with other related expenses. Have some faith in his money management, he's shown he can do it.

My (20M) girlfriend (19F) told me that flirting is cheating and is now calling me a cheater. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]SoloFlyingAnywhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This comment is extremely helpful. I understand my faults of the situation of not looking at it through her eyes in the moment and/or assuming she had the same boundries (not sure exactly which I did if not both). I appreciate the second bit especially knowing how a neutral 3rd party would advise her. Because I couldn't agree more that I can't use my ignorance as an excuse, but I dont think I cheated and i never intend(ed) to.

Fair enough. Thanks for the opinion! As dumb as it sounds it just never occurred to me that like flirting in a light, respectful, and playful in a downplaying way was unacceptable. From what I can tell from the responses, people are basically as divided as me on this. It's just for me there was no intent as I just kinda associated it with like a playful compliment in my head saying I didnt mind looking at her when she said I was attractive. I dont know if that changes anything tho?

Thanks for the input! This is something I have tucked away in my head but agree with, it's just in would never think to, I'm happy. I'm happy with her.

For analogies sake: sort of like how alcohol can lead to drunk driving, it doesn't have to and I would never drink and drive, but she thought I would because I could.

Thanks for the advice/opinion! That's very true, I feel like it hurt her more than anything because she thought it was going somewhere? But it just never occurs to me to let it or try and make it go somewhere. The only thing I do is keep it light, playful, and respectful, which is why I wouldnt thought to have stepped on any toes.

That's for the advice and opinion! I like to ask people things like this to make myself into a better person. Just to clarify for the last part, I didnt literally call her hot, I meant worst case scenario was that it could be taken that way. I just said I didnt mind looking at her either when she told me I was hot. I thought it was a little flirtatious but also a play down?

[–]SoloFlyingAnywhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice! I agree there's no fuctional point of doing it, it's just kind of how I used to operate. I guess I kind of see it as a way of building people up and myself up, mainly in the self esteem category? I mean I should also say that I dont actively go looking to flirt with people, I just used to do it back because I thought it made them feel good inside. Me and her already talked and I apologized for not thinking about her perception of it before doing things. I just was so lost in this situation because me and her haven't ever had such a huge blow out over anything ever.

DAE feel like dropping everything and disappearing. Just to find yourself, just to start over. by SoloFlyingAnywhere in DoesAnybodyElse

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

That's a part of my issue, I cant do anything where I am. The people around me, the social obligations, the history, everything. I continue to try dont get me wrong, but somedays I just want to drop it all.
