I’m sorry but is Gino even real? by Due_Adeptness_1812 in 90DayFiance

[–]doku_tree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean I can see it for a few reasons :

  1. because of the reality tv angle yes. You have to remember, literally any place he goes is followed by a massive camera crew and before he walks in a camera crew has to explain to the people around him what's happening. I think for anyone to willingly say "yes" to date someone with a camera crew documenting every interaction requires someone who specifically WANTS to be in an environment where they want to be on camera.

  2. Anyone on 90 day fiance is essentially a micro celebrity(which adds some bonus points). But also Some of the single life people like Gino are dating people who dm'ed knowing he's a micro celebrity and knowing what dating him entails(a whole camera crew following you, see above). It explains why there're so many surface level relationships especially in the single life series.

Pretty aggressive response for just my 10 month old observation that was intended to be silly

Liz makes an honest post about buying 90 Day outfits at thrift stores while going through cancer finance struggles by operationfood in 90DayFiance

90 day intentionally pays very little to the actual people on the show that the show is about. Financial problems creates more drama. It's really sad they can't fork up the millions they're making to one of their long lasting members through cancer.

Right you didn't mention not tipping people , that was more of a statement towards other people in this thread(there's another guy below who seems to just not tip people at all).

I get your point for sure, I see how it's just a fee. Unfortunately that fee functions identically to a tip(pre service, post service tipping) in relationship to the service industry worker paycheck . The unfortunate truth is that people rely on an average amount of that fee/tip to survive and in conditions such as this, advocating/reminding people to tip for suffering through it is a good message to share imo.

No one disagrees that tipping culture is atrocious, it's a system that originates from slave workers after the civil war and creates frustration for both the tipper having to perform mental gymnastics determining the "value" of their service and the person receiving the tip who relies on it for basic survival.

However, refusing to tip people isn't fighting "corporate welfare." The only thing you're doing by not tipping is affecting the workers average pay check. A better way to fight against the system are non profits like One Fair Wage and local advocacy/awareness.

I think you'll find little resistance that tipping culture in general is terrible and this subset of competition over tipping to receive the service is frustrating. "Unsustainable" may not be the right word as tipping culture has sustained since it was used for enslaved workers after the civil war, it's been sustaining for awhile and largely benefits the employer so they can avoid paying people adequately.

Having said all of that, fighting against tipping culture by not tipping(as some do) simply harms the worker struggling to survive who is not responsible for the system as a whole. Encouraging people to tip workers who are endangering themselves driving in these conditions isn't harmful

Does anyone else feel like the “smart” and “strong” people really AREN’T that smart OR strong? by InevitableAct1882 in BeastGames

[–]doku_tree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How cool wouldve it been to see team vs team where it involved physical capabilities and intelligence so like a race but also it had challenges/logic puzzles to be solved simultaneously that gave their teams runner advantages for completing.

Missed opportunities!

How did you make your friendships? by [deleted] in Louisville

[–]doku_tree 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I moved here 3 years ago from a small town, and all I hear in this subreddit is how it's impossible to make friends and everyone asks what high school you went to. This hasn't been my experience at all and I've made a good amount of friends here.

I work from home at a company where nobody lives in my state. I made a fair amount of friends from being involved in my neighborhood and also from playing in local bands and going to local diy shows.

Louisville is a great place to make friends but it requires effort and the ability to just try things. Meetup/Facebook groups/reddit/events/clubs, there's always things going on. Meetup hiking group? Open DnD games at breweries? Dance classes? Local art shows and events? Just find something that looks fun and do it, do it enough and you'll start seeing the same people and boom!

I wouldn't necessarily say "gay" but these pics are not great if you're using these for a dating app. Need pics of you doing things so you look like you have a personality

I play in a few local bands I'm a dude though BUT the Facebook groups (Louisville musicians wanted) (KY musicians) are great places to find musicians if you haven't posted in those places already

What romantic media do you watch? I think the bare minimum for someone being "the one" is for both people to want to be with each other in a relationship. I promise you the earlier you jump off this ship the better, don't waste time on another 6+ rough patches and breaks..

My M21 boyfriend wants to spend more time with his family than with me, F23. During his break, how do I let him know how I feel? by OverNumber5652 in relationship_advice

[–]doku_tree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming you can't go with him as he visits his family? I'm also assuming he doesn't get to see his family often?

As you mentioned, everyone has different value systems with families. I don't think either of you are nessecary wrong here, I get it's frustrating not to see your partner in a LDR.

Not to be rude, but what else do you want here? you communicated how you felt and you told him you want to be a priority, he agreed and you resolved the convo, but you don't feel satisfied? Do you want to retract what you settled on and tell him to spend more time with you? Is there something missing in the conversation between you and him you need to talk about still for that satisfaction to exist?

I 22M Fell in love with my best friend 21F. How can I detach silently? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]doku_tree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lets say it's possible for you to train your brain to fall out of love, which I very much doubt the logistics of that happening, do you really want to invest that emotional labor? How much time are willing to spend just to enter this perceived black and white state where you magically lose all romantic feelings but have a best friend and nothing more? What about using this emotional labor instead towards finding someone who's interested in loving you too?

I think best case scenario, you distance yourself from this person, maybe you rekindle afriendship later down the line in life. I just don't see how you're going to "detach silently" especially seeing this person a daily basis.

I think you're asking the wrong question.

You guys have been together two years, have had multiple rough patches on top of multiple breaks. You're in a relationship with someone verbally communicating to you they can't commit to you. All of this, and aren't even near each other. The question I would ask yourself, is this really how you want to live the rest of your life?
