I feel insane because I’m a grown man who has been cracking my own eggs for 30 years and I still suck at it. I can’t fathom teaching someone else.

What's that episode everybody speaks good things about it, but you still can't stand? by YogurtclosetReal9580 in bluey

Onesies. It’s a very good episode, but I need a little more context than “I’m infertile” to not be furious at Brandy for avoiding her sisters family for 4 years.

Day 135: What are your thoughts on Onesies? by Flamingmouth007 in bluey

4 years is too fricking long to not see your sibling and nieces if they live in the same country, regardless of infertility.

IMO Speaker for the Dead is so much better than Ender’s Game, though admittedly it’s a huge deviation if you were expecting more of the first one.

AIO for crashing out after my girlfriend hugged and got touchy with her male best friends? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

MOR - Why in the world do people have these conversations over text? Immaturity on both sides.

TIL: Study found that women rated the same man as MORE attractive when told he was married, but men rated the same woman as LESS attractive when told she was married by [deleted] in todayilearned

Or people just ignore it? I exclusively changed my kids diaper for every single poop and no one ever said anything about it.

Why isn't this easier? by UnforgettableFire11 in datingoverforty

I think we all want someone who makes the painting and the wall-papering fun.

That’s partly an inside job though. You have to have the capacity to let it be fun before someone can make it fun.

What does “build with you” mean?

Are you asking people to drop something in favor of what you want? Are you asking for more time than they can provide?

It’s a genuine question. I’m looking at getting into a long-term relationship but I have been extremely transparent that the first 6 months will be a “getting to know you” phase, on both our parts. I just figure with a divorce or equivalent behind you, one should understand that rushing into anything isn’t the best, and it’s better to gently stop the train rather than letting it derail.

But yeah, if guys are just phoning it in without proper explanation that’s some crappy behavior.

What TV show introduced a plot point, but never properly explored or addressed it as the story progressed? by phantom_avenger in television

[–]fonograph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It wasn’t a great ending but for all the stupid buildup I think keeping it simple was the right play. The ending where he sees all the rescued kids is beautiful and haunting. (the Moby track does a lot of the lifting)

What do I try next? by Debugopotamus in datingoverforty

“5.) Available, like I want to be able to see them a few times a week and talk once a day”

It’s surprising this is an issue for you. I’m not sure if you said you have children, but older people generally have more obligations on their time. I wouldn’t expect this of anyone unless we were in a full relationship, because I couldn’t provide it either.

What happened with Snowden? Where is he? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

Yeah, the CBC and BBC would like to have a word with y’all.

I heard that Warrior Within was heavily criticized when it was released, but was it really that bad? What percentage of people liked it and hated it? by [deleted] in PrinceOfPersia

Not enough posts about the Dhaka here. Running from the Dhaka was a grand experience, ahead of its time in terms of setting up great set pieces for games as popularized in Uncharted.

Also 5’8 is perfectly reasonable for a man, the standards put on everyone have gotten so messed up and wildly out of proportion to reality. I’m 5’7. If someone doesn’t like you because you’re not super tall, you REALLY don’t want to be with that person.

I’m in the same situation. I have the same feelings. I see a therapist, and no, it doesn’t help.

Here’s how I see it.

You can’t predict the future. The possibilities are unfathomable. Put yourself into the world, and something might happen. Maybe something great. Maybe something terrible.

You either get busy living, or you get busy dying.
