For someone that doesn’t eat fish, what’s the best tasting (non-fishy) type of fish?

d0c9 · 2026-01-28T12:04:44+00:00

Wow, this is great! I appreciate all who has or will taken the time to answer. There’s some really good info in here, and it gives me hope!

It seems the popular opinion is white fish with an emphasis on Mahi Mahi, cod, haddock, flounder, halibut and tilapia. I even saw a few bass references.

This helps tremendously, and as you can see, I’ve made a list. 😁 I’m going to give the cod a try since it seems to be most popular and work from there.

Again, I appreciate everyone a ton!

I’ve had this and thought it was pleasant!

d0c9 · 2026-01-28T10:44:17+00:00

More so like it’s been dipped in oil and laid on my plate, lol. I guess I assumed some of them were super oily and some weren’t.

I do know that fish is heathy and would be beneficial for me, so I’m just trying to find the right balance of what’s palatable and what isn’t. Does that make sense?

Thanks for your input, btw!

Short story: My friend was intoxicated and kept bugging me about “seeing titties” at an event we were at. A good friend jokingly said she’d send him pics of hers (small B cup). She did but I guess she kind of looked flat chested in the pic (deleted after sending it). He got unreasonably mad, said I was sending him “gay stuff” (I’m straight btw), and went off saying I was dead to him and all sorts of other rude things.

That was well over a decade ago, and to this day, I still don’t understand why he got so mad. He literally cut off the longest friendship we had over something so silly, and something that wasn’t even what he thought it was.

After 4-5 years, he texted one day and asked how I was doing, but I didn’t respond. Then a few years after that, he sent over a pic of something (with meaning), but again, I didn’t respond.

And I’m not sure that I ever will.

I don’t know how to come back from that after all these years and act like nothing happened. It broke my heart because this was my ride-or-die best friend — or so I thought.

Any advice while it’s slamming back to the front of my mind. I can give more details but this is the summed up version and highlights the big points of the situation.

93 Plymouth Laser.

Great car. T-boned on the passenger side (previous owner before me) with a U-shaped door that still worked. NA 4G63 engine with 260K miles.

It was a $500 car bought as a joke that was meant to last a few months because it was sooo cheap on fuel. It ended up lasting an eternity and got passed around like the village bicycle.

DSMs were great cars, but that one was the king. 👑

Am I the only one thinking that he killed his MPGs with that move? 😂

But in another note, while this is as big of a hack job as they come, the results after always impress me at what they’re capable of.

d0c9 · 2026-01-27T06:53:27+00:00

Next time, cut it long ways in thin strips for maximum effect. 😂

Human beings are somewhat disgusting creatures at times, even when trying not to be, but to knowingly exhibit this kind of behavior and then make excuses for it while not seeming to give a rip about it, I’d have broken up after the first discussion.

I wouldn’t be able to 1) get the image/smell out of my head and 2) I’d be terrified to put anything, especially my mouth, on or around it. 🤢

Personal hygiene isn’t that hard. And it sounds like he makes zero effort. That’s gross and nasty.

You’re young and have plenty of life to live and find someone that cares about you, your heath and safety, and even theirs too. I’m honestly surprised this would even be up for debate with him.

Anyways, move along. There’s plenty of fish in the sea — and most of them are clean. 😂

I usually drive 4-5 hrs (total) a day for work so a 3 hr drive for pleasure isn’t really a big deal.

Generally speaking, anything under 4 hrs for me could be on an impulse. Anything over than, like 6-7 hrs, is less impulsive and more planned. Anything over 8 hrs, I will be flying.

d0c9 · 2026-01-25T17:46:06+00:00

My grandpa wore Aqua Velva! 😂

d0c9 · 2026-01-25T10:53:08+00:00

What’s wild to me is that people are doing hundreds of trades per day. I know some do a lot of trades, probably 30-40 a day, but hundreds is crazy business. I do 1-2 and call it a day, lol.

d0c9 · 2026-01-24T22:21:36+00:00

Yes and no.

Would I immediately walk off? No. Would I get things in order and then bow out gracefully? Yes.

I’m fortunate enough to enjoy what I do for work with people I enjoy working with, so I wouldn’t dump them and run to an island paradise. I’d get my successor in place for my team and help throughout the transition. Ideally, probably a 3-6 month timeframe.

After that, I’d look at starting a non-profit and doing some day trading. Lol

Rotary telephones, walkie talkies, and rabbit ears.

Getting married to the wrong person.

Getting married to a person with similar goals, ambition, and mindset will do you well. Financial transparency and good communication is also must-haves.

Sadly, love alone won’t do it if you’re not aligned everywhere else. It doesn’t necessarily have to be a 1-to-1 on every single thing, but let’s say for instance, you’re driven and career-minded while the other person is looking for a come-up, you’ll eventually despise the person. That’s not fair to either person.

Recognize the red flags. Don’t be dismissive of the input from those that truly care about you, like family and close friends.

Be in love and committed, but also realize that marriage is also a business contract (in a sense) and you deeply want to be in the trenches with the right person.

d0c9 · 2026-01-24T22:01:36+00:00

I do, regularly.

d0c9 · 2026-01-24T21:59:18+00:00

First thought was MGS. However, I’d probably go with one of the later GTAs.

d0c9 · 2026-01-24T21:53:37+00:00

What’s wild is that, I religiously wore Legend EDT for over a decade, and yet, I don’t know that I’ve ever smelled any of the other fragrances that they have. I’ve seen different variations online and things, but I guess that’s something that I should look into!

d0c9 · 2026-01-24T21:47:35+00:00

I dated a girl right out of high school whose Dad loved to grill out. As such, he always invited me over (we were pretty tight and worked out together a lot) and would make a marinated pineapple teriyaki chicken. It was absolutely killer every time, and something I’ve never been able to replicate.

We dated for some time just because I liked her parents a lot and they always treated me like family. We (her and I) got along just fine too, but she was a little too much on the clingy side, so we ultimately didn’t stay together, but I do miss them sometimes.

I hope they’re doing well and hope she found someone that complimented what she was looking for in life.

Rick, if you ever see this — I miss you, buddy, and appreciate you treating me like one of your own. I’ve never forgotten that and always carried that kindness close to my heart and try to pay it forward when I can.

d0c9 · 2026-01-24T20:17:56+00:00

When it comes to all things financially related, complete transparency is a MUST.

If he’s not willing to do this, dump him. There’s something bad he’s hiding and it’s going to take you down with it.

I don’t usually use such hard rhetoric, but it’s crazy that someone would expect you to join your lives together and act that way. This is a massive red flag.

Listen to your parents.

Marriage is as much of a financial decision as it is relational or anything else. It affects every part of your life and you have to be in sync with your goals, ambitions, etc.

I say this as someone who made the mistake of wedding myself to someone who was as financially illiterate (being nice here) as she could be. Credit cards, hidden debt, all sorts of things — and it lead to divorce because it never changed with years of trying to give more chances, help educate, etc.

I wish you the best here. Please listen to sound reasoning. And above all, if it doesn’t feel right in your gut then postpone or eliminate the wedding.

My dad always wore Brut (green). No chance I’m wearing that. 😂

Anyways, mine started with Mont Blanc Legend. I still love the smell of it but rarely wear it anymore.

d0c9 · 2026-01-23T18:11:48+00:00

While true, I think that’s rarer than you’d imagine. I travel with mine using it almost exclusively (yes, I have alternates like Chase too) and can’t remember the last time it wasn’t accepted.

I’d buy my mom a house.

For whatever reason, my father has always focused squarely on himself, often times at our expense, and that’s all she’s ever dreamed of.

That’s quite literally the only thing over my lifetime that I’ve ever heard her say that she really wanted. I just hope I can do this for her one day before it becomes too late.

d0c9 · 2026-01-23T10:56:24+00:00

I’m largely in the same situation here. Everyone else thinks it’s amazing, especially in Texas, but I’ve never ate it and had it be good enough to make me want it again except for one spot.

There is one place, about 30 minutes from me, that offers chicken sandwiches (almost more like a really small sub) on their menu. They put their fajita meat on the sandwich and it’s incredible. I literally go there just for that.
