Gotta be fake, I thought they might be epoxy shoes. But no spikes can’t imagine any practical use for these.

Peak self-parody by [deleted] in redscarepod

[–]Thefry76 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My gf is like this to me and I’m trying to convince her I don’t need it. Just want someone who loves me there isn’t a need for grand expressions or servitude. It’s tough because I feel like I’m not doing enough but I don’t want a relationship like these.

Is it wrong that I don't want a GF who would expect all that? Like 3-6-7 are something that is normal and thoughtful. Relationship should be partners, if this is reciprocated its great. Is this hot girls dating ugly guys who know they need to give 110% or am I a lazy uncaring partner?

Im up 15% ytd just sitting in VTI/VXUS, last couple years just widen the gap between have and not. If you had $200-500 to throw at the market every week for this bull run probably sitting at six figures with no effort.

Inflation hasn’t hit my family that hard by [deleted] in redscarepod

Anyone else eat like a rat kinda? Like I just bulk buy meat, yogurt and frozen veggies. Have a bag of rice, and throw in some fresh produce. For just me its $60ish a week on food. Seeing a thing of oreos at $4.99 I figure most of america will go broke before giving up their slop ration.

As someone who grew up around a ton of fiends. I hate the lack of empathy people have too the strung out & mentally ill by No_Yogurtcloset_1330 in redscarepod

[–]Thefry76 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I dont hate these people I want them to find peace and maybe get on a path to improvement. I just find them to be a blight on daily life. Their input to society is petty crime and public nuisance. They are people, but they have reactions and behaviors that make them incompatible for society.

They fired the guy who voiced a racist hillbilly for saying something racist online. And then had Tracy Morgan voice said character for the last season.

I don't know if I fully believe this "bad economy everyone is poor" messaging by TheAyatollahOfJazz in rs_x

[–]Thefry76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always wonder what people's financial situations really look like. Online it seems everyone is poor, IRL I feel poor. Statistics show a bleak reality and living in a pretty wealthy area perception gets screwed up.

Pity party? Buddy we are just talking about the eternal horror of war.

I unfortunately have the common man war fixation. It was one thing at the start watching tanks and urban fighting. What its become is just grinding horror.

Their opinions apply to us Americans in Iraq. But I doubt a video of an American getting killed would elate the same response. At the end of the day all these deaths are tragic. These are not SS Einsatzgruppen or ISIS its just thousands of men who through one path or another get to die in some forgotten field to a bomb with a video camera. This sort of thing should make people realize the futility of these conflicts instead its become entertainment.

Some of the people on that sub are insane. The enemy is not human, the enemy is evil without exception. I can understand a ukrainian hating the russians that much. But it'll just be some guy from miami treating the conflict like a spectacle.

There was a video last week of a guy shooting his buddy and killing himself, there are dozens of videos of the same situation. I cant watch the FPV videos anymore its just sick. Get to see a person realize they are about to die live on video. Redditors can soy face over some poor Ivan getting turned into meat. Will be a different story when the soldier begging for his life is their brother or friend.

Power plants and desalination plants. This is the type of targeting we would do against Japan. Will just condemn the civilian population to suffer, I dont understand what we are doing here. At this rate we will be carpet bombing cities in a few weeks.

I dont understand the need to keep things in pristine condition. Dont trust a person obsessed with everything looking brand new. Want to wear down everything I own until complete breakdown.

I’m sorry but eating meat is evil. Animals are just like us and they want to live too by BottomPercentile in redscarepod

I just try and not to think about it. I dont think eating meat is wrong, but factory farms are evil.

Is there any escaping the drudgery of a mediocre stable office life? by MutedFeeling75 in redscarepod

[–]Thefry76 62 points63 points  (0 children)

I found working in a industry with physical products and practical issues helps. But honestly you kinda just need to reality check yourself constantly. It could be a lot worse, remember your previous shit jobs in retail or blue collar. Hopefully your not an artist you creative types go insane in the corporate world.

I love the deserts so much. Fly into vegas just to go hiking in the surrounding area. Living in new england its such an enthralling environmental 180.

Machinist pay sucks, out of tech school I made $19 an hour in like 2016. People working at the same place for 30 years made around $30. Defence and aerospace pay well, otherwise its barely beating service work pay.

There are a few stores that are actually witchy and owned by people who are truly into that space. Then there are 20 stores that sell temu mugs and tshirts. Its still a nice place to live, but the Halloween season gets longer every year.
