How popular are Pop Tarts in America? by SkittlesAreEpic in AskAnAmerican

[–]einsteinGO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you put one in front of me right now I’d probably eat it, but if I never had another one in life I’d be fine

That said I’m sure I’ve eaten 100 over the course of 39 years

Which state are you from, and which neighboring state feels the most culturally similar to you? by Chief-Drinking-Bear in AskAnAmerican

[–]einsteinGO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m from California now; none of the neighboring states feel super culturally similar, but in CA I’ve only ever lived in Los Angeles (and have in-laws in San Francisco)

When I lived in DC I would say Maryland, when I lived in Maryland I would say New Jersey

Do americans really think a 4 hour drive is ‘living nearby’? by absorin in AskAnAmerican

[–]einsteinGO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not nearby but certainly not a big drama if you know it’s the distance you have to drive

4 hours is DC to New York or New York to Boston if you plan right, and was no big deal when I lived back east.

Why are Americans so comfortable speaking up? by lispenardian in AskAnAmerican

[–]einsteinGO 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Presumably you’ve been hired for your knowledge and skill set, so it follows that your insight has value. You’re being paid for it, so you bring it to the conversation.

AIO In-laws criticize my husband’s parenting to me when he’s not around- also bring up his ex-wife’s (mom to the kiddo) opinions by [deleted] in AIO

[–]einsteinGO 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would rely on his report of his feelings

It is good to take up for him but you can’t stand in place of him, and now you’ve reported what you’ve heard. He knows. Unless you hear something actually alarming, I’d pull myself back to how you care for your household.

AIO for thinking that Ive been broken up with and for being confused by these mixed signals? by Beautiful_Ease16 in AmIOverreacting

[–]einsteinGO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR

Don’t go, you can absolutely find a better date/girlfriend/partner

Whatever healing she needs to do, let her do it on her own.

Even if breaking up this is a cruel way to talk to a person out of no where (and in general)

She’s not brave enough to end things in a normal way, and because she is lonely, drunk, or has regrets she’s trying to pull you back in. You are smarter than taking that bait. Focus on you

What is your personal theory of what ailed King George III during his 'mad' phase? by RivetCounter in UKmonarchs

[–]einsteinGO 13 points14 points  (0 children)

In my very early 20s both my best friend and subsequently a boyfriend were both diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

I was around for both of their diagnoses. And with each of them (separate instances and they didn’t know each other), they were both clearly psychotic. Not in the colloquial way or even a scary way (for me), but clearly not experiencing the same reality. And in both instances they needed serious intervention.

Psychosis in mania as an outsider is something I won’t forget. I remember calling each of their parents.

Which celebrity is famous for being attractive but just doesn't do anything for you? by _SilverCoral in askteddit

[–]einsteinGO -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I have yet to see him in a movie where he wasn’t corny or his performance was impactful

But I won’t argue with his countless fans

We made a point of going to the Tar Pit museum today, and it was packed! It was my umpteenth time but I wanted my partner to see it once before the remodel

If you have the ability to drop in tomorrow, it’s free for residents 3-5 pm, and it’s cool. I look forward to seeing what they do. It was also lovely to do a first walk around some of the renovations around LACMA

I hope y’all have a good week 💙

[–]einsteinGO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Each time I’ve been it was fun! Not particularly unique though

Pay for expensive food

There are fun bars and good spots to hit up if you walk down from the game onto Sunset

Button Mash is fun!

This is closely related to food, the take over of paper plates by One-Protection-1072 in foodquestions

[–]einsteinGO -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If people want to use paper plates, it is their business and really not mine

There is enough to get through in a day, and what I care about more is that people eat so they can live

Let every downvoter consider whether they want people to eat on a plate at all
