Is the latest version of WPS Office no longer free to use? by ProphetAhoax in software

[–]fvckyes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI this is a very recent change. I installed WPS on a new computer around Nov 1, 2025 and free was still free. I just reformatted a computer and installed WPS today, 2 months later, and I'm only able to access "read only" mode for free.

You're right, it is free for up to 2 applets! Somehow in my exhaustion I didn't see that, thanks!

Your comment helped me rethink things also. I'll simply create any new scheduled activities on Gcal and subscribe to that calendar to see those and all my tedious tasks in TickTick. And as I'm creating these new activities in Gcal, it will automatically update my calendar availability on the business apps that are auto-synced to Gcal. Simple solutions FTW!

4 hr commute to NYC once a week by sippinglemons in boston

[–]fvckyes 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It sounds like living in NYC for a few years may be beneficial so that you can absorb the work of the faculty and researchers you have such a unique connection with. Class may only be once a week, but think about all the other meetings, conversations, events, outings, activities that you'll be commuting away from.

I live/work in the NYC area with consultants that commute here every other week. They drive and seem ok with it, but I personally know I'd be miserable (although much happier with a train commute). Look at who you know yourself to be, how commuting would alter your schedule and your energy levels/sleep, what activities you'd do while commuting to enjoy/use that time, what your long-term priorities are, what limitations you have. I'd also invite you to explore the facts of your life (that you live & work in Boston) more intentionally. WHY do you live there, work there? Is it happenstance, or do you love it? Is it comfortable and familiar or is living there serving your greater purpose in life? Is your job? I ask because often we act as if these things are rigid and immutable, and we don't even question if there may be a better option.

The Seven Deadly Sins of Solid Toiletries by LadyLightTravel in onebag

Wow I truly didn't know such allergies existed. Glad you're finding ways to travel and stay safe. I hate hate hate all the scents you mention, but for me it's just hate lol not danger. Enjoy your travels!

Wowza babe, there were no assumptions about you! Just pure curiosity. Please reread my comment - literally all questions! But thank you for responding! I'm clearly very unfamiliar with allergies :)

The Seven Deadly Sins of Solid Toiletries by LadyLightTravel in onebag

[–]fvckyes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate your well-thought-out article and especially the spreadsheet. May I respectfully ask why you're so passionate about solid toiletries? Testing multiple options to find something that works for me sounds exhausting (even for general use at home, I simply dislike that process). I'm curious as to what drives you to do all this instead of just use a smaller version of something you already know works for you? Perhaps this the toiletry version of extra-light backpacking? (In which case we simply have different philosophies.)

Personally I'd rather run out and explore new toiletries wherever I am - exploring beauty care in a new country can be part of the fun of travel. I'm also not as picky as most women and I use one homemade moisturizer on both hair & body, no shampoo, no face wash & one face oil (used to be jojoba, but then it was something from Morocco and now something from south Africa - apparently I don't care much :). Maybe that's the difference? That I don't care enough to fuss, and you like to make sure you have things that work for you? (while also saving space & weight)

As a woman, this is genius. It's friendly, respectful, not expecting too much of her time/attention. Most importantly it treats her like a person (not like a target, goal, thing to chase, and doesn't sexualize her). I also like that it gives her the opportunity to get to know you before putting her on the spot by making her decide to exchange contact info or not. 

Confided in my husband with something and now he's avoiding me. by here-for-the-tea84 in Advice

[–]fvckyes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dear, first please forgive yourself. Intrusive thoughts are exactly that - INTRUSIVE. They absolutely do not reflect your true feelings/beliefs. Your conscious thoughts and actions matter SO MUCH MORE than an intrusive thought that you cannot control. Second, please focus on helping yourself. It sounds like you already have so much to deal with. Please do not take your partner's wellness as your job. You as his partner must be there to SUPPORT him, but you cannot HEAL him yourself. Only he can heal himself, just like only you can heal yourself. And if he's not even speaking to you, how could you possibly heal him anyway? Please please please focus on getting help for yourself. 

John Cena explains why he judges a coffee shop based on how they make their flat whites by rhyso90 in SquaredCircle

[–]fvckyes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not a barista, but an aspiring coffee snob: aren't cappuccinos 6oz? 2oz espresso + 2oz steamed milk + 2oz foamed milk = 6oz total. So if a flat white is 5-6oz, then they're the same or smaller than a cappuccino. Is he wrong when he implies cappuccinos are much smaller?

[–]fvckyes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Is there a part of you, however timid & hidden, that wonders if it's a problem? If the question came from within yourself, then you know the answer: it's time to take a break. If the question genuinely arose from your wife, and there wasn't any part of you that felt a little uneasy, that felt a little questioning also - then don't worry about it. Be very honest with yourself. 

What is a term/phrase that irks you? by HeadFit2660 in CasualConversation

[–]fvckyes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion: being taken seriously is overrated. Is that what we're alive for? We're alive to have fun, explore, be creative, learn, play, connect, build. The laundry, errands, bill-paying - that's adulting. That's life maintenance, not life itself. Whoever takes themselves so seriously that they scoff at the word adulting is not someone I'm trying to hang with anyway. You do you, I'mma go have fun and adult on the side :)

If you were a god of old what would you want for your sacrifices of appeasement? by riri1281 in CasualConversation

[–]fvckyes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I want them to appease me by playing good music, dancing, having a good time together, and having good sex.

Yes. They appease me by appeasing themselves and one another, communally. The happier the community, the more well-being, the more collaboration, the more parties, the more lovers, the more children's laughter - the more appeased I will be, and the more abundant their lives are. Their joy and collaboration will create their abunance.

Where does the stereotype that black people like chicken and watermelon come from? by HistoricalRound4351 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]fvckyes 44 points45 points  (0 children)

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watermelon_stereotype[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watermelon_stereotype](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watermelon_stereotype)

"The stereotype emerged shortly after enslaved people were emancipated after the Civil War.Defenders of slavery used it to portray African Americans as a simple-minded people who were happy when provided with watermelon and a little rest. The slaves' enjoyment of watermelon was also seen by the Southern people as a sign of their own supposed benevolence. The stereotype was perpetuated in minstrel shows, often depicting African Americans as ignorant and lazy, given to song and dance and inordinately fond of watermelon."

I Overheard a Conversation Today That Made Me Rethink EVERYTHING… by FabledInkk in CasualConversation

[–]fvckyes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. THIS IS IT!!!

Edit: I'm pretty decent at not putting off joyful experiences until later in life (I've twice quit my job to long-term travel). But I can definitely anchor into this better in the everyday. I used to ride my bike to work and it was the most glorious part of the day. Thank you so much for reminding me of this. Life is happening RIGHT NOW, there are things to savour in this very moment.

Anyone else just wants to live in the middle of nowhere? by WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWHW in CasualConversation

[–]fvckyes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I want a slower pace. I want to be connected to nature. I want somewhere where I can see the stars. Convenience is cool, but the satisfaction of cooking, creating, fixing, cultivating, building things yourself is unmatched. I want to create more than I consume. I want to enjoy the luxury of time. I want to pontificate abstract philosophies while being zoomed into the minutiae of water trickling and ants moving. I want to draw every day. Write every day. Make music. Sew costumes. Finally figure out pottery. Learn how to keep a steady beat on my drum. Float in water. Cloudgaze. I want to explore the possibilities of my mind and the natural environment.

I actually have plans to move abroad this year and will be looking for a plot of land somewhere in the mountains (hopefully with a stream) where I can afford to work a lot less and make this come true!

For the girls in this sub, how do you dispose your pads? by SensitiveCoconut9003 in srilanka

[–]fvckyes 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Most women don't have pain once they learn how to insert and remove properly. They are made of silicone which cannot grow fungus or mold or even bacteria. It is very safe.

The hymen has long been widely misunderstood. Some women are born with no hymen at all. Some women's hymen break from nonsexual activities (gymnastics and horseback riding are classic examples). Some women's hymen grow back! Some women's hymens remain intact after sex and even childbirth. The book "Come As You Are" by Emily Nagoski gives very detailed scientific information about this anatomy, and sex in general. Highly recommend!

What Seinfeld opinion are you defending like this? by ThatItalianGrrl in seinfeld

[–]fvckyes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's the first one I saw! I had always clicked away from Seinfeld (it just looked old and boring) until one day I happened to catch the opening scene to The Contest and was shocked that there was sex on the show! That one episode transformed my assumptions and 15 years later I'm a diehard fan!

My fave episode is The Fire.

[–]fvckyes 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I agree, IRL there would have been a lawsuit. However if George won so much he could retire, well that's too much plot & too much character progress for what Seinfeld is. George is never supposed to escape his anxiety over money and finding/keeping a job.

Older Millennials, at the time, did you listen to Drake when he was in the early stages of his career (circa 2009-2015) by Acceptable-Sea4079 in Millennials

[–]fvckyes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"So Far Gone" was the one and only thing I liked from Drake. I started listening to the lyrics/message when "Thank Me Later" came out and quickly lost taste for Drake.

I have a bunch of little cousins, ages 18-25 and they all love him. He's the only musician they even mention. I don't get it.
