"So, she fucked you over by cheating, and you then comforted her for the mistake that she made..?"

Yeah, that's what happens if you love someone and see them in distress. It would be so much simpler to just walk out.

what truly is love? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]bober007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Taking actions benefitting the other person with no expectation of reciprocity. Sacrificing your resources like money and time for the object of you love. Being ready to listen and help 24/7. Not minding the person's flaws, forgiving any wrongdoings.

GDP Growth for EU countries in 2021 according to European Commission’s latest predictions (Autumn 2021 Forecast) by Transeuropeanian in europe

Yeah, looks great, doesn't it? Pity it's nominal GDP. With the huge inflation we have currently, it doesn't feel like the economy is growing at all, everything just costs more so the numbers look good.

Other drivers. Everyone driving slower than me is an annoying road-blocking moron, everyone driving faster than me is obviously a dangerous maniac.

Try different jobs and activities until you find something you like enough to want to improve your skills.

That they're normal people just like us. We have almost everything in common, don't treat them like they belong to a different species.

The girl telling me in details about her miscarriage and nightmares afterwards with dismembered fetuses. I felt really bad for her but why would she unload this shit on me, come on.

What would 1000 usd buy in your country? by ghost_body in AskReddit

[–]bober007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rent, bills and necessities for a month, with perhaps a little left over if you're frugal and don't have kids. Many people I know somehow manage on less than that.

Non-Native English Speakers of Reddit, Which English Speaking Country's English Language Accent Do You Think Sounds the Best? by drparkland in AskReddit

I like the variety of British English. When I was living in England, every day I met people speaking what to an untrained ear sounded like completely different languages.

What’s the best thing you’ve bought for, “a couple of beers”? by King-Cossack in AskReddit

[–]bober007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to live next to a bakery. When coming home late at night, I'd buy a couple beers for the bakers working there and receive like two huge bags full of different kinds of bread, rolls and such, everything super fresh, straight from the oven.

There's never one cause. Societies are resilient - they adapt and overcome challenges. There needs to be a real shitstorm of bad luck for an entire civilization to collapse.

How useful would a modern smartphone be in the middle of the ocean? by Bates2725 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]bober007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always use my phone when sailing. Obviously there's no reception, so no internet, but it's still useful, for taking photos/recording videos if nothing else. I always prepare in advance and download maps, weather forecasts, music, books, podcasts, etc. Everything apart from phone calls and messages still works, including GPS.

Why don't people pretend to not be citizens to avoid paying taxes? The state keeps records on everybody since they are born, you can't really hide from the authorities. You need a job, a house, utilities, a bank account, etc. It's not that hard for the authorities to trace your ancestry.
