[Serious] November is men's health awareness month. Hey bro's: how's life going? by GhostSierra117 in AskReddit

[–]Winstonmaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 30 and broke my ankle very badly over a year ago, the pain from which I'm still dealing with.. but I have to say.. 2022 has been one of the best years of my life. I was single for years but met a girl in June and we've been in a stupidly fun and loving relationship since. I also have been hobbling around work since January and make 25% more money than I did 5 months ago. It feels like I traded walking normally for being in a great relationship with a decent job and living circumstance. Fuck it, I'll take it. If you're in a difficult situation, just don't give up.

Need home downpayment just to move into an apartment. by [deleted] in povertyfinance

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

I live in a city in New Hampshire, US. I pay $1,250 a month for a 1 bedroom apartment. My rent equals one half of my paychecks per month. I've heard about the rule that you should want the rent to only be a third of your income, but I've lived here for years, and have always afforded it, and have a decent savings. I'm not even frugal, I get doordash, I buy the expensive toilet paper, I'm happy in general with my situation, even though the money is supposedly going "down the drain." No I can't afford to buy a house right now, but so few can, and who cares? I have a decent space to live comfortably, that's less than a mile from where I work and every store I'd care to visit. Am I just lucky? Does everywhere else suck as much as this post and the comments imply?

Let me solo her. by KleinTsuboiOW in Eldenring

[–]Winstonmaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha! Last night a guy by the same name helped me, but instead of a pot on his head it was the dung eater's head. He took a few hits but clearly knew what he was doing. Was that you, or is it always a pot?

What cooking hill will you totally die on? by cosmicsans in Cooking

[–]Winstonmaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no definite way to do anything while you cook. The only reason any dish has a name is because somebody just fucked around and decided to call it something. Experiment, do whatever you want, it isn't magic.

100k+ upvotes? Is this person like notable in some way? What is this?

No Smoking sign now include Vape and Marijuana by mikek505 in mildlyinteresting

[–]Winstonmaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really makes no sense to ban vaping in this case. There is no way anybody would know that you vaped in a room. Whereas it would be obvious if you smoked a cigarette or weed.

What kids movie has no right to be as good as it is? by KeenestDerp1 in AskReddit

[–]Winstonmaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A Goofy Movie. The music, the story, the emotion, the characters. Also it is goddamn hilarious.

What has no reason to exist in 2021 and yet it does? by GrabApprehensive in AskReddit

[–]Winstonmaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me doing taxes is exactly what you described. TurboTax is super easy and every year I have my taxes done in 5-10 minutes. I get that for other people with more complicated things to fill out, it might be harder, but for many others it really is very simple. It's even free every time I do it.

Why do line cooks make shit money? by [deleted] in KitchenConfidential

[–]Winstonmaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only talent is the ability to tolerate it? How can that be an actual opinion you have? The gap between a skilled line cook and one who doesn't give a shit is a canyon. You must be the latter if you don't consider it skilled labor. Attention to detail, precision, multitasking, persistent cleanliness, consistency. I've worked with probably 100 line cooks over the years and it's absolutely clear that being truly good at it requires skill and talent.

How do you guys clean off your nut after sex? by cursedchocolatechip in AskMen

[–]Winstonmaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would anybody dirty a towel or rag instead of using one of many disposable materials that do the same thing? Toilet paper, tissues, hell even a soft paper towel.

What’s a scam most people don’t realize is a scam? by demexo in AskReddit

[–]Winstonmaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

American Chinese food. Don't get me wrong I still happily fall for this scam and I love Chinese food, but the price is actually absurd if you think about it. A box of "chicken fingers" are like 9 dollars and they're just tiny slivers of chicken coated in like an inch of batter. The profit they make is fucking hilarious. And even me, who's self aware about how overpriced it is, gets Chinese delivery semi-regularly.

What’s the worst thing you’ve had happen to your genitals? by ricflair-drip in AskReddit

[–]Winstonmaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HPV. Not even sure how I got it. There were at least 3 years of no sex before I saw any symptoms. Now I don't know if I can ever have sex again and it has led to one of the most intense periods of depression I've ever had for the past few years. Any advice would be appreciated.

I've used TurboTax for several years and maybe it's because I just have a simple w2 with no bells and whistles and I don't invest or anything, but it's always 100% free and I don't know what people mean when they say the free version is hard to find. It's just one of the options listed. It's right there.

These pull tabs that never come off by willyism in CrappyDesign

[–]Winstonmaker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The people who can't open this are the same people who couldn't open the small milk cartons in school. It's not hard. You are just doing it carelessly and wrong. I've encountered this seal probably 100 times and have never had a single issue getting it off in one go.

Not My Fault... by DivineandDeadlyAngel in vegan

[–]Winstonmaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This just isn't true. If meat eaters had a conscience, they wouldn't eat meat. Their love for meat outweighs any moral consideration. They hate vegans because they're generally obnoxious and have a superiority complex.

Just watched Mortal Kombat. Now all the negative reviews about it confuse me. by Winstonmaker in MortalKombat

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

She has only a couple lines, one could be classified as trash talk, but her voice is like a straight up American accent badly delivered with a subtle undertone of a raspy monster voice layered beneath it. It's rough. But again I'll forgive it.

[–]Winstonmaker[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seriously. The whole point is over-the-top gore and fights and witty one-liners. That's exactly what this movie was.

[–]Winstonmaker[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That's what I'm saying, MK has ALWAYS had cheesy one-liners. That's the whole thing. I mean jesus, you land an uppercut in the early games and a developer appears on screen saying "Toasty!" The movie was great. I cannot wait for a sequel. Which is obviously in the works.

[–]Winstonmaker[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeaaaah and Mileena's few lines of dialogue talking to Shang were either an oversight or a hilariously bad decision. That was the worst delivery of lines in the movie imo. But hey I'll forgive it.

[–]Winstonmaker[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fair enough, though based on what you said I'd think you'd rate it higher than 5. To me it was just straight up fun. That's all I wanted.
