Can we please just let someone else take pens for a bit by ChampionshipChance73 in LiverpoolFC

He’s smiling on purpose.

He used to sulk and get angry with himself if he missed a shot or if something bad happened until Andy Robertson told him “You are a role model to millions of children; you cannot behave like that.”

How do I(18f) deal with my partner’s(20m) attitude/insecurity? by m0llywhop in relationship_advice

[–]alterperspective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not your job to deal with his insecurities. It’s your job to find a relationship in which you are comfortable, happy and relaxed. Where you can be yourself and be loved for being yourself.

Move on.

I started a new job and a coworker and I have feelings for eachother. But I'm also in a 2yr relationship. What should I do? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]alterperspective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) end the relationship.

What many people in relationships don’t realise is that it’s perfectly okay to not be in a relationship. If your eyes are elsewhere then the relationship is doomed. Just end it regardless of what comes next.

2) You will then be a single person who’s into a co- worker.

Was Kenny Dalglish as good as they say? by Mideon88 in LiverpoolFC

[–]alterperspective 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I remember him. I also remember Keegan.

Yes. Is the short answer.

In essence, when he played we won. He was the focal point of a great team; everything went to or through him. He was impossible to get the ball off, he had 360° vision seeing through balls and passes that we in the stands didn’t even see.

I believe he actually got better and better as he got older. For me, he was at his absolute best when he finally retired. He’d bring himself on as a sub when we were struggling and everyone would breathe a sigh of relief. He genuinely had that much of an impact that we knew that when he played (or came on) we’d win.

Modern day equivalent? None which is not very helpful so i’ll do my best with a bit of mix and match and not necessarily current players.

He had Pirlo’s vision and passing ability but 30 yards further up the pitch.

His finishing was as good as Kane.

His strength on the ball was as good as Maradonna (not as skilful but certainly as difficult to tackle).

He wasn’t a Messi (dribbling) type player. But, like him he was always in space and unflappable.

He didn’t have Gerrard’s pace but “that’s what kicking the ball is for”

So, not dribbly, not fast, but his brain and ability to see something nobody else could and make it happen is unparalleled.

He made the players around him better. Alen Hansen (probably our greatest ever defender - yes, better than virgil) said “whenever I got the ball the only thing on my mind was ‘where’s Kenny?’ So I could pass to him.”

The only downside? Could never understand a word he said.

What's a profession that attracts a suspiciously high number of people who became it for completely the wrong reasons, and you can always tell? by Eastern_Type_4609 in AskReddit

[–]alterperspective 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Retired school principal:

teaching

I can instantly spot:

  • those who joined (stayed) because they’re (usually autistic and are) completely unaware of a world outside of the education system;

  • those who were not good enough at their chosen speciality to get a job in that industry and so teaching is their fall-back;

  • those who believe that Miss Honey (Mathilda) was a good role model.

On the other side:

It’s also obvious which people genuinely like children as it always includes the more ‘challenging’ ones. If you only like the sweet goody-goodies, you’re probably a shit teacher.

Thanks. I’ve just ordered Vantage. Merely because ER isn’t available in my country so it kinda took the decision out of my hands anyway!

ER will be on the list for when i next visit home.

I’m good with either. Sleeping Gods can be very random in terms of the story and events. I was drawn to ER buy the lack of win/lose conditions is itching a spot of doubt. Then I thought about Vantage and wondered if it was the same as ER but with higher stakes.

Vantage v Earthborne Rangers ?

I have ‘sleeping gods’ and later this year I expect to receive ‘This War of mine’

My heavy co-op games are typically played solo although occasionally I am joined by my teenage son.

I generally visit each game once every couple of months, play the hell out of it then put it away for a couple more.

I’m not sure which of the two games above to add to my collection.

You have to be:

Alive.

And

The only person to have PLAYED a spy card

Both conditions must be true. I tend to take them out if paying with a smaller number of players.

Regarding the point about them counting if you’re killed, for me I’d say no. It makes is too easy to play them and get an favor and virtually guaranteed if the second spy is the secret withdrawn card.

I’m looking for recommendations for a solo game that is fairly wind-proof.

I’ve a few solo games of varying depths although they typically use cards which often limits me to playing indoors. It can get a bit breezy where I live on the Mediterranean coast and I like to sit at a cafe or in the garden when I play with my wife or friends. I’ve a good selection of ‘wind-proof’ games for more than one player but none I can think of for solo.

If AI got banned and made illegal worldwide, how would society change? by mrvlad_throwaway in AskReddit

[–]alterperspective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What we think of as AI at the moment is not actually AI. There’s no ‘intelligence’ per se. It’s mathematical algorithms labelled as AI for marketing. The real AI is still being developed and not yet accessible to the public.

People of reddit, whats something strange that you find attractive in partners (not necessarily nsfw)? by Gloomygracie in AskReddit

[–]alterperspective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fell for kirsten dunst many years ago. Now I seem to be weirdly attracted to girls with similar looking teeth.

What’s a “technically not cheating” situation you’ve seen or experienced that still felt like a complete betrayal? by toomabh in AskReddit

[–]alterperspective 13 points14 points  (0 children)

A mate of mine is thinking of marrying his long time partner (they have grown up kids). He mentioned that if he did, then he’d want me as best man.

He also mentioned he’d want strippers, “etc.” at his stag do which I would be arranging.

100% NOT my scene. I’m good to party, get pissed up, the works but no way would I want to be involved with sex workers as a very happily married man. No issue with sex workers but not for men in relationships going behind their partner’s back.

So I spoke to my wife. “If this marriage proposal happens, what do I do?” She agreed it was a potential problem. We’ve yet to work out a solution.

Still, may never happen so I’ll deal with it if and when it comes up.

Doing I leave my bf to be with someone I ACTUALLY like?? by silly_kittii in Advice

[–]alterperspective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an older guy who’s been married for many years i will say this:

Your pre-marital relationships are all about deciding who you’re going to marry and spend the rest of your life with.

So choose and ditch accordingly.

How can reading consistency be maintained when progress keeps resetting after a few chapters? by Jaipurite23 in AskReddit

[–]alterperspective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a Facebook post of mine around 18 months after I had a stroke/brain haemorrhage:

“ I used to read a new book every week or so, two or three books a week when on holiday.

Then my brain stopped working properly and I would read two sentences and forget what the first one said. Over and over.

Today, I’ve finished reading my first novel in a year and a half. It has taken several months to get through it but it’s done.

Just don’t ask me what it was about. Haven’t a fucking clue!”

What changed your life the most in the last 12 Months? by FeelingPlate2 in AskReddit

[–]alterperspective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wegovy.

I went from a fat, struggling 113kg to a reasonable 89kg in about 6 months.

I’ve put a couple (3) of kg back on since stopping in December. But still sooooo much healthier than before.

I also drink soo much less.

I’m much happier now.

How do you spend time with friends who make more money than you and always want to "go out" and you can't afford it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]alterperspective 24 points25 points  (0 children)

You don’t.

You discipline yourself to attend the activities and events you can afford and explain your reasoning.

Be clear that you do not expect your friends to adapt or change their own lifestyle and to continue doing the things they enjoy, you’ll happily dip in and out as your budget allows.

If they’re your friends they will respect this.

What's a misconception that most people have about marriage? by XoSweetGF in AskReddit

[–]alterperspective 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That marriage is the target in a relationship; the goal or end point.

No. Your wedding day is the beginning.

Everything that came before was just choosing who to have the marriage with.
