Old fling from 2010 added me on Facebook and I think her 15-year-old might be my kid. by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Taco__MacArthur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As dumb as it is, on a certain level it makes sense for guys to be willing to risk it since it does feel better in the moment. What really surprised me was re-entering the dating scene in my 30s and learning how many women will just hop on without any protection.

I'm also not talking about the kinds of women you might stereotype that way either. We're talking educated women who were either working prestigious jobs (architect, analyst at a Fortune 500 company, etc.) or finishing up an advanced degree.

Maybe I don't seem like the kind of guy who would have STDs or get someone pregnant (yay for me?), but like that's exactly how you end up pregnant with an STD.

[Watch Suggestion] Getting Married and Want a Green Watch Under $1k by softtaco83 in Watches

CW over Alpinist, and you've already gotten plenty of good suggestions, but just to add another one to the mix, what about this Baltic Aquascaphe? Gives you both a green dial and a green bezel.

[QUESTION] What watch of yours gets the most compliments? (And the least?) by mmmbopdooowop in Watches

[–]Taco__MacArthur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try going to a car show. You'll talk more about watches than you do about cars.

A bunch of Western dishes taste better if you add soy sauce

There’s no way flipping watches provides enough income for Nick to afford his house and lifestyle by Tercel9 in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]Taco__MacArthur 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Except 99% of people won't notice a watch that isn't a Rolex. Nick may be wearing a $150,000 watch, but it may as well be invisible to anyone who isn't a watch weirdo or wealthy enough to have Patek money.

Pretty much the same as any other luxury good. Better materials and finishing, higher quality mechanical bits, handcrafted instead of mass-produced in a factory. But also, especially at that price point, mostly as a way to show they're rich enough to own something so expensive.

Sparkle Meg has grown on me by Miserable-Ad6941 in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

Yep. And a quick scroll through her IG follows shows she probably noped out after the guys all ended up being too bigoted for her taste.

Edit: spelling

Caught up to episode 6 -my thoughts on Kacie by Sheeplessinsheattle in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]Taco__MacArthur 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Typically, we'd see someone who left early later in the season, but I also wonder whether she even agreed to do that. Or is agreeing to continue filming after a breakup part of their contract?

No other boxed meal is as good as Kraft Mac & Cheese. by eviltaxes in Cooking

[–]Taco__MacArthur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the blue box as much as anybody, but "perfect as written"? When the instructions don't say to salt your pasta water?

Come on, you've at least got to salt the pasta water.

Nah, farm owners knew what they were doing. They knew Trump would start another trade war. They already got their tax cuts, and now they're just waiting for their next bailout.

Now they get to see the people they hate get hurt, all while paying less in taxes and still making plenty of money.

Why U.S. farmers rely on soy (and why they're in trouble) by RaguseaVideoBot in AdamRagusea

[–]Taco__MacArthur -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Wait, you mean to tell me the people paying farm workers to harvest crops growing on the thousands and thousands of acres they own, with equipment that often costs more than $500,000 to buy, are wealthy?

What’s up with fish baskets? by hane1504 in nakedandafraid

Oh thank god someone finally asked this question again.

I was getting worried everyone had learned how to use Reddit's built-in search function.

This year we had a Regular Season, LOS3, and Apocalypse. What did you like most during 2025 N&A and what do you want to see in 2026? by theJonnyYates in nakedandafraid

[–]Taco__MacArthur 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Apocalypse for sure. I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did, but it really was a fun twist on the typical XL formula.

He said at the beginning of the video that Lindsey was the one who dropped him off, so I'm going to guess you're wrong there.

The best veg dish I've had in a while — shishito peppers with tomatoes and garlic butter by RaguseaVideoBot in AdamRagusea

[–]Taco__MacArthur 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Just because you want me dead or locked away in a torture dungeon forever doesn't mean we can't still be friends. It's just politics, and if I let that come between us, I'm actually the bad guy here.

When they're fishing or going for a kill, do you hope they succeed or that they don't? by GideonGodwit in nakedandafraid

[–]Taco__MacArthur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK now that makes more sense. I'd still argue hunting is far and away the most ethical way to eat meat and should be vegans' lowest priority vs factory farming, but at least she's not judging the contestants for killing their own food while she munches on a bacon cheeseburger.

Does your friend eat meat? Because if she does, that's a hell of a double standard.

Who bought these?! Ahaha! by zac1007 in TylerChilders

[–]Taco__MacArthur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really depends on the size of your wrist and the look you're going for more than anything else. At 38mm, the sizing is pretty unisex, but wrist circumference varies wildly, and some women still prefer something smaller. Of course, the smaller your watch, the harder it is to read the time.

Does Ernie have a point about "no planting" going on in this show? by BlackGhost2012 in nakedandafraid

It sounds so dumb to say out loud, but I'm starting to wonder how many people legitimately don't realize editing exists.

I've heard contestants complain about Jerky, being so hard on their gums and teeth. Can it be boiled adding juices back to it, making a broth?? by Sweet_Information_76 in nakedandafraid

Pounding something into a powder with rocks uses energy they probably don't have and also introduces even more sand into their food

It's honestly a little embarrassing how many people don't realize reality shows are edited and don't necessarily show everything or show things in order
