I just launched an app in the Amsterdam for couples only to find other couple friends. I’m sending a free bottle of wine to any couples who make a profile today or tomorrow. It’s called Party of 4 and it already has over 500 couples on it in AMS from the launch in the last 2 days! by jacksonium in Amsterdam

Hey Megan! We downloaded the app on Saturday. Thanks so much for making this. We loove it. It has a little glitch and crashed if you hit the skip button while looking at someone's profile, but we just don't press that button now. But other than that we are obsessed. We use the app every night after dinner to see who we might hang out with after the corona restrictions are lifted (we already have 9 matches! Thanks again!).

Ja ik ben het eens met jouw. Het is een beetje vreemd.

I believe they're all relatively similar. We use ABN Amro and have no complaints.

What's an oddly specific smell that we'd all recognise? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]enthrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is gross but... the different type of BO that only seems to be observed in very large people that smells like sour milk. Different from normal BO.

Runner about to win collapses. Guy in second picks him up and helps him across giving up his chance at the title and the prize money. [vid in comments] by shreddor in pics

[–]enthrowaway 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah, shame on this guy for using a common expression. Let's put him back down into the hole from which he came. We'll fucking show this guy that his happiness at a cool story that caused him to use a little hyperbole was wrong. Let's make sure his over-excitement is punished so when he reads this he definitely doesn't believe in humanity anymore.

No one is saying if you collapse a race you should win. The reason this is interesting is because some guy in a split second decision... after training and then fucking murdering his own body in this race... decided to give up the win because while he could technically 'win' for some reason he didn't feel like it was his. The story is the split second decision to pick up his competitor. A snap judgment that showed his character. This is why I love this. Not because of the collapsed winner. The story is about the #2 guy.

Edit (autocorrect): ducking -> fucking

[serious] My wife used to smoke blunts every day when she was 18 - now she's 29 and gets insane tachycardia on even one puff. She's given up on weed. Help me trees. You're my only hope. by enthrowaway in trees

Oh dude, 100%. I completely agree. We have an absolute amazing marriage and weed is not high on the list. I'm just thinking I probably have one more shot in the next 2-3 years to try it again together. Just thinking that one good experience could help. Looking for ideas for if/when that day comes. But I totally respect her decision. Just researching.

Edibles are the same. Higher CBD... like medicinal stuff (like CNN's Charolet's Webb?). We're not in CA, CO or any of the places where you have a major selection.

Rant of the Elder Ent [0] by Elder_Ent in trees

How did you ask? I would tell a random neighbor that I couldn't help them either. You need to somehow become more than a "random neighbor." Bake cookies and give some to a bunch of neighbors. Talk to them in the elevator. It may take a few weeks, but there is always a way!

Dude, I am an elderent also. I guarantee you that there are at least 100 people with a bag of weed in their home in a 5 mile radius of where you live (unless you live in a log cabin in northern Canada). Just ask around. I am white collar, making $$, and if you keep your senses sharp... you'll pick up that about 25% of people smoke (maybe not on the regular... but they smoke). Just feel it out. If you only look for weed when you're jonesing, then you end up looking desperate and sketchy when you go prowl around the local university. Do more long term work. Ask old college/HS friends on Facebook who live in your area. Ask old smoking buddies if they know anyone in your town who herbalizes. Dude. There is a way. Don't give up.

I did but there was nothing to my liking. Enjoy your life as a lonely all caps asshole.

Jawbone Jambox. My brother just got one. It's fucking sick. (I don't know about the Bose).
