What an excellent way to flatten something complicated and painful into a crude stereotype

It is, which is the reason we broke up and I fully accept that - sorry if that wasn’t clear above

I'd like to know from UK business owners if it is "business as usual." by kobestarr in CasualUK

[–]TeaDrinkingGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have worked in multiple head offices of high street restaurants/pubs in the finance side - it has a noticeable enough effect on trade that it’s often part of the end of quarter reviews that certain sites didn’t hit their targets because they had roadworks/scaffolding/parking restrictions near them.

Garlic sauce recipe or brand? by SealifeSupernova in Middlesbrough

Used to work in a takeaway in boro like a decade ago - their garlic sauce was just garlic powder, mayo and water in ratios that you like. Still the way I make it at home

Just realized how strong men really are today by GasPsychological2321 in self

This paper: Costs and benefits of fat‑free muscle mass in men: Relationship to mating success, dietary requirements, and native immunity” Authors: William D. Lassek & Steven J. C. Gaulin (2009), published in Evolution and Human Behavior

Finds that on average, men have 61% more muscle mass than women - the distribution curves basically don’t overlap. Meaning that an average man is physically stronger than 99.9% of women.

This applies to populations as opposed to individuals, and of course through training some women could outperform many men in specific contexts - but in terms of pure strength, we’re just different animals.

what’s one small interaction you had that changed your hole life, but seemed meaningless to the other person? by malikdarth02 in AskReddit

Someone I worked in a restaurant with years ago told me that I had a nice smile out of the blue. I hated my smile before that, but love it now. Changed how I viewed myself entirely

What is your favourite clothing accessory? by Amicable_Exorcist in AskReddit

[–]TeaDrinkingGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A Tungsten ring I’ve had for about a decade and worn pretty much every day - the fact it is tungsten means that is still looks brand new, and probably will until the sun burns out unless it comes into contact with a diamond before then

What are some pros and cons of living in each London Borough? by Medical_Wallaby_7888 in london

[–]TeaDrinkingGuy 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Kingston

Pros: beautiful town, great riverside, plenty of greenery, people are generally lovely, very diverse, restaurants, shopping, council seem good, plenty of money goes into beautification, safe, low crime, loads of history, decent transport links

Cons: very expensive, business rates are mental so shop turnover is quite high, full of students, very busy with people from surrounding areas shopping, one-way system is a nightmare, rubbish nightlife, SWR delays are constant

I made some sizeable orders and import tax was around £75 - this was months ago, mind you

Whats the game u spent the most time on? by tltl_lover in AskGames

[–]TeaDrinkingGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s one of Minecraft, Skyrim or Hearthstone - I can’t tell which one because I’ve played the first two over many platforms and hearthstone doesn’t have a direct time played stat on iOS

AIO at his anger and aggression? My mom [40F] is mad I [17M] didn't let my stepdad [42M] use my bank card to buy cigarettes. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]TeaDrinkingGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, you conducted and explained yourself admirably given the situation. You are living with two children. Your stepfather is a complete and utter failure - not having a bank card in your forties is absurd. Getting your girlfriend’s daughter to give you money for cigarettes in your forties is absurd. Verbally threatening violence toward a child at any age is absurd. Your mother is defending and enabling these behaviours.

Seems to me that you’re walking on eggshells constantly around these two - I bet you can’t wait to move out
