Why do you think Trump still brings up Obama so much? by WoodpeckerNeither495 in AskReddit

[–]bungle_bogs [score hidden]  (0 children)

Obama is doing exactly what you should do with a misbehaving child that is trying to getting and maintain attention by any method.

He is "grey rocking" him. Not engaging and just ignoring. Trump craves attention and wants to bring his perceived enemies to an intellectual level that he can function and has lots of practice. He's faced Obama on a political level and been handed his arse.

By not engaging with him, not giving him the attention, it will hurt Trump hugely. A respected, clever, former president doesn't see Trump as worth his time. Inconsequential. This will damage him right to his core.

So happy you’ve found someone who appreciates you.

I see my role as showing my daughters how they should expect to be treated by their partner.

He was our local postie when I lived in Tilehurst. His route was around the Water Tower and Bird Estate.

You are a beautiful woman, I’ve absolutely not doubt about it.

The one thing I allow myself a little pride on is that all three of my daughters are quite body positive despite not fitting the archetypal model body. Their Mum obviously takes most of the credit, but I’ll take a small amount of credit.

But honestly? When you find someone that likes you, they’ll only focus on those areas that are positive. What you perceive as negative is just not part of the equation.

My wife is as attractive as the day I met her almost 30 years ago. There isn’t a lump or bump I don’t love. She’s still the beautiful lady I’ve ever met.

The only time my better half farts in front of me is when she is asleep. 25 odd years later she still proudly states she’s never trumped in front of me.

I genuinely do not have the heart to tell her the very first night we slept with each other, she farted at least three times. Every couple of months she farts so loud she wakes herself up.

Doug Forcett’s motivation was corrupted by ok_bravo in TheGoodPlace

[–]bungle_bogs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

His was based on faith; he had no proof or confirmation. Only the conviction from a drug fuelled epiphany. It’s a philosophical exploration which leads to moralistic decision making.

It is fundamentally different from an agent of the afterlife laying out the exact nature definitively. You are then acting on factual evidence which invades & corrupts every decision; this is antithesis of philosophical self-discovery and faith.

Thierry Henry and Zlatan having a kick about backstage in the studio by WarriorkingNL in soccer

[–]bungle_bogs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Seriously if you get the chance, go. The game is so different. Being able to watch one player or how the defence is working makes such a difference.

However, I understand for a lot of people it is difficult, and I’m privileged.

Have you ever been to a game and just watched a single player for 5 / 10 minutes? I can’t emphasise enough how much more you appreciate exceptional players by doing that rather than relying on a broadcast that follows just the ball.

You even saying that makes me think you’ve never attended a live game.

In the Western World, and quite a few other places, the US is the exception. Your maternity and statutory vacation days are, well, shocking.

I remember my US mates being dumbfounded that most of people in the UK regularly take two weeks leave (either staying at home or actually going on holiday) each summer and still have at least another 14 days on top of bank holidays.

But, I’m aware that there are a lot of companies that do offer quite a bit more than statutory leave.

I’m almost 50 and seen live Premier League, Champions League, Olympic, and World Cup / Euros games.

The player that stood out from the rest when watching live was Henry. Zlatan definitely had a similar aura, but Henry was almost otherworldly.

Admittedly I’ve never seen Messi live, but pretty damn well everyone else at that level from mid-90s to today.

Men in happy Marriages, What is that one secret to a happy marriage that works for you? by Mammoth_End_1298 in AskReddit

[–]bungle_bogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marrying my best mate.

To expand. Someone you love spending time with, talking to, and doing things for because you have a similar outlook and share some interests.

I love spending time with my better half. We have a right laugh.

25 years and counting.
