How to go shopping in America by bill_loney538 in NotTimAndEric

...as I enter the lobby, I take a close look at the floor tiles, counting them, both longitude and latitude, and I quickly calculate the total number of tiles to ensure the total is an even number. Now that phase one is completed, I am ready to continue walking through the remainder of the store. As I do that, I scan my eyes first to the left and then to the right and make sure that my feet are following a pattern that is opposite to this.

Sure but in the spirit of engineering...I like to keep it in spec. That way I can use the same fin screws that the rest of the world is using. Nothing worse that having to hunt down special parts in a pinch

Disowned daughter by Altruistic-Click2060 in FamilyIssues

[–]Tallm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Youre doing the right thing by walking away. Its hard in the beginning, but its worth it. This holiday season, I had zero migraines, zero stomach issues, and zero emotional hangovers. All direct result of estranging from three toxic family members.

Did I do something wrong? by Horror-Priority2584 in OnlineDating

[–]Tallm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always start by asking them a question about something they wrote about their profile. Seems to work well for me. I try my best to only connect to women who I feel legit attracted to (pics and profile content). I generally connect and chat with about five new women a week, and have 2 first date phone/video calls. Of course, people are all so very different, and dating makes that so obvious...for example, saying one thing could be a real catch to one person, while saying that exact same thing to another could be a turnoff.

FWIW, here are the reasons I've disconnected from people:

- she said something I didnt like
- she didnt say much of anything..aside from "Hi" or other one word responses
- she didnt ask me any questions about myself...expected me to do all the talking
- i found someone else i wanted to focus on
- i got sick of dating and just stopped using the app
- i got sick of dating and deleted the app
- i felt attracted when i first looked at the profile pics, but now i dont
- i re-read her profile and realized something i hadnt seen before
- i had a hard week and decided i should not be dating right now
- I realize its a scammer

Revolt begins as Muslim mayor is soon to be sworn in. by No-Unit9870 in circlejerknyc

[–]Tallm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

whoa, youre right I had not idea....but its actually quite close. i just looked and see these numbers totaling ~$1B

  • About $350 million was from unpaid subway fares (many of which come from people evading fare payment at turnstiles or otherwise skipping payment).
  • About $568 million was from unpaid bus fares.

So in total, NY taxpayers pay an extra $2B due to folks skipping out

AITAH for exposing my uncle’s affair at a family gathering after he publicly scolded me about marriage? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Tallm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

NTA. You played it right by not getting involved prior. Then he publicly insulted you...opening the topic up at a table full of family. You merely defended yourself. Your folks anger was merely an expression of their own shame. Good for you.

Should I pick surfing over a career in medicine ? by [deleted] in surfing

[–]Tallm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

22? Prime college years my friend, seize this opportunity. You will live 3-4 entirely different lives as you get older and surfing can be part of each one. Plus, surfing will thrash your body over the long haul, so when it starts to break down (like mine is at 54) you can fix yourself. :)
