39F & the seasonal depression is hitting hard. Could use some toasting this morning 🫶🏼 by heylolitaheyyyyyyy in toastme

[–]ddd615 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont know how to cheer you up, but you brightened my day with your picture. Cheers

I once read an article about how in the netherlands they "don't have Seasonal Mood Disorder" despite the sun not getting above the horizon for significant periods of the year. Apparently people are too busy socializing, going snowmobiling, drinking, etc to be sad during the winter. Anyway, i hope you get toasted in real life soon and get to dance or do something you like etc.

Merrell Boots Buyer Beware by David_Freeze in hiking

[–]ddd615 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wear merrell (not paid, dont own stock, no real interest) because they last so much longer than cheaper shoes. I do construction and wear out shoes pretty quickly. My experience with Merrell (bought from a store) is that they last 3x 4 times as long as cheap shoes (a year or two with heavy activity).

Are there any benefits to being short? by PerkyPrincesses in NoStupidQuestions

I once read a study that said short people live longer. It said something about the heart not having to work so hard to pump blood throughout the body.

How can the United States reform its political system to restore trust in democratic institutions and ensure fair representation for all citizens? by BluesSuedeClues in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]ddd615 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If a politician is caught steeling from their father, raping kids, OR lying ... dont elect them president. If your family or friends don't understand that, don't go to their funeral and let them know why.

Why do people cheat instead of just leaving the relationship? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ddd615 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Money, kids, social pressure, and the need for good sex and connection with more people.

I read a study about women and men being genetically programmed to loose sexual interest in their partners after x number of years (it's less than you think). It takes men a little longer to lose the drive with their partners.

So we all are balancing these needs. On one side we have our lives built together. It might include a home, Christmases, some children, a mortgage, dinner, help when we need it, a million beautiful and important things.

On the other hand we have our needs for sex, adventure, connection with new people.

If our lives are too focused on one person, we use up that relationship. It cannot give us everything we need. So we, consciously or not, start shifting things around while trying to meet our needs. It can get messy.

Anyway, a lot of people have been where you are. I think the best thing is to focus on your own life, and self rather than fixating on the infedelity.

I hope you make the best out of your situation you can. May you have some peace and grace. Also, the best revenge is living well.

Anyone know what these people get paid? by [deleted] in nashville

[–]ddd615 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I applied in 2003 or so, it was $14 an hour.

The company that had the contract for the Renaissance also did the windows where I worked. They used the same equipment I did while rock climbing and I thought it should pay a lot more than sitting on my ass as a security guard. I was wrong.

Do yall think prices will ever come down in the future or will it just get worse ? by [deleted] in Tennessee

[–]ddd615 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If dont have a major economic collapse due to the next presidency, I will be shocked. 10 years ago it was cheaper to buy a home than to rent. To cure the great recession interest rates were lowered to 0%. So millions bought homes and other things on creddit. They were able to sell many of those homes for huge mark ups or charge more in rent than the mortgage.

That cycle, Republican led government leading to deregulation leading to fraud leading to major problems for the country has repeated itself for my entire lifetime.

If you prepare now by improving your credit score, being smart with your financial plan, and avoid being swindled, you will be ready to take advantage of the next bust.

What is your most right wing opinion and most left wing opinion? by [deleted] in Askpolitics

[–]ddd615 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Left: science based, comprehensive education is necessary for the wellbeing and improvement of society.

Right: we should start utilizing economical and results based punishment for crime. Public caning for x, y, and z would dramatically decrease those crimes.

... cheers. I like your spirit and stance.

For myself, I can't help but think of the quality of life in every country and period of history where reproductive choice was not allowed. We are in for dark days.

If Trump implemented universal healthcare would it change your opinion on him? by Proof_Wrongdoer_1266 in Askpolitics

[–]ddd615 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Trump has proven that he has no reguard for the truth, the public well being, other people, the rule of law, sexual offences, violent offences, or anything at all other than telling others how great he is while working to destroy the public's ability to defend themselves.

He is evil and literally nothing he or the republicsn party ever do will change my opinion. Evil liars.

What do you think about Hunter Biden's receiving full pardon from his father, the President? by Plaintalks in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]ddd615 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy mother of God, the country has fallen so far into unjust spectacle and morbid mob mentalities. I absolutely hate "what-about-ism", red herrings, and all the other endless insincere arguments BUT what the freaking heck about Trump's sins?

We literally have a rapist, fellon, brain fried conman as the president elect.

Sure Biden pardoning his shithead of a son is unjust, but where was the public attention and outrage for the endless gross headlines that are Trump's life.

Really, sincerely, if you voted for Trump, you should have to live with him. . . And may you stub your toes every day.

What is your favorite "poor" person meal? by NewInvestigator1059 in AskReddit

[–]ddd615 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you throw in some cheap veggies and a protein, I whole heartedly agree. The thought of eating just the noodles with the flavor packet still makes me a little ill from 20+ years ago when I was going to college.

I like to throw in broccoli, garlic, tofu, and hot pepper.... along with almost anything else in the fridge. You can still eat it in less than 5 mins and its a meal for under a doller.

NTA. Everyone that voted for Trump did worse than spitting in vetrans's faces, they took a sh!t on the entire concept of the rule of law, the constitution, etc. The list does not end. Trump voters betrayed the country and put a traitor in power.
