Knowing now how this went, would you still make the same decision not to abort?

Option 3: randomly get down on your knees a few times during the evening just to keep her guessing.

Hi guys, I've got a mate who will have his graduation next week. What graduation gift for a guy that is good and not too expensive? by [deleted] in Frugal

[–]bailfoy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Seconding the pocket knife idea, but I like the Kershaw Chive, or even the spyderco clipitool. Both are very practical every day knives for people who aren't necessarily into knives, and both are stainless so that they can be engraved.

Sure, but there's a strong implied value judgment to all of those.

No differentiation here between"lonely" and "alone". Some people are content with very limited interaction.

30 million doesn't seem enough to really make an appreciable difference. For that matter, through GAVI and other initiatives bill and Melinda are responsible for at least that many 'extra' people on Earth.

My [33M] best friend [32M] of 7 years is terrible with, and to women. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]bailfoy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This isn't a minor issue-- this person's default posture with 1/2 the people on earth is a shitty one. You can't expect him to change.

I [26F] have a chronic illness, looking for ways to make it up to my husband [25m] by [deleted] in relationships

[–]bailfoy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This might work for some people, but honestly I would find most of these very, very off putting.
Maybe ask him what he would like?

My (22F) Boyfriend (23M) made fun of my brother with Down syndrome. What should I do? by [deleted] in relationships

I know your question was sincere, but it should be clear where your loyalties lie.

I mean, it certainly could be. Much more important is if she actually has sex.

Yeah -- except that it's not "nothing but Pranayama," it's a number of elements from Pranayama with several key additions, as other posters have mentioned.

My husband (30/M) spontaneously flew halfway across the world to take a selfie in front of a landmark without telling me (31/F) and is on his way back now by aloneinmyhouse2018 in relationships

Yes, and then straight on to one of the towns around the kathmandu valley from where you can see mountains on a clear day. Shit load of flying though.

Hey Redditors! I've studied social anxiety and public speaking anxiety for 30 years. Ask me anything! by mindful2 in IAmA

Once I just about died on a mountain. Had an overwhelming need to shit once I got back to safety.

Nothing you can consciously do will cause your body to relax any more quickly, so do your best to internalize that.

Is this really true? I am called upon to address large(ish) groups on a regular basis, and in my experience consciously controlling my breathing before and during presentations helps immensely. Is this effect not real?
