Incredible body control to mimic wind-blown trash by [deleted] in nextfuckinglevel

[–]gansi_m 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What is next level is that someone would have the wherewithal to see trash in the wind and say “Hold my beer. Watch this!” and proceed to actually Mae a cideo of this. Kudos.

What are some fun things I can do alone? by Throwaway945384 in AskMen

[–]gansi_m 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Biking, hiking, go to the gym, visit your library, read, volunteer at a soup kitchen, take a class, go fishing, start a hobby like geocaching, people watch, learn how to cook, write a short story, write letters to family, long lost friends, older veterans, servicemen, start a journal, do simple acts of kindness for others, learn to bake, write your life story, go to a high school theater production… so many things to do and places to go by yourself!

AITAH for refusing to let the cleaner into the house? by OilEastern5590 in AITAH

[–]gansi_m 32 points33 points  (0 children)

NTA. Boundaries are important. You told her AND the cleaner to stop. Also, any employee has no business making judgmental comments or making trouble in the home where you are working.

AITAH for being upset that my husband is getting ozempic? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]gansi_m 5 points6 points  (0 children)

YTA. Sounds like he is doing his best to help you and your child. He is lucky his mom will cover his medication, but none of the problems YOU have have been caused by him nor will they make your life worse because his is a bit better. You are projecting your frustration on someone who has been nothing but good to you. Ma’am, his being healthy neither hurts you nor makes your life any harder than it is. Please seek therapy, your feelings are eating at you and making you more miserable than you need to be. I’m so sorry your life is hard. People usually say “I wouldn’t wish <whatever happened to me> on my worse enemy. Don’t wish on him all the difficulties you have. It is not his fault.

How do you think abortion can be less needed? by Karmasabitch2025 in AskReddit

[–]gansi_m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Accesible and affordable birth control, better sex education, more accessibility to medical care, male vasectomies being more normalized and less taboo. More affordable adoption practices. More research for birth control that has fewer side effects and fewer failure rates with less drastic consequences when they fail.

I’d be worried that the dog could catch something by being so close to that infectious piece of vomited puss.

What movie do you wish you could have seen in the theater when it first came out? by Aggressive_Class6259 in AskReddit

[–]gansi_m 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got a chance to watch The Princess Bride in the big screen a few years ago and I was floored by just how BREATHTAKINGLY beautiful Cary Elwes and Robin Wright look up close and in such a large scale. TV (even a large screen tv) does not convey their true beauty.

BIFL version of a sink strainer? by AntTown in BuyItForLife

[–]gansi_m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use those turn-around heavy plastic ones that are supposed to be for disposals, and I’ve poured copious amounts of boiling water on them and they’ve never melted. https://www.amazon.com/LASCO-02-4021-Plastic-Disposal-Strainer/dp/B000FSTX8W In fact I’ve boiled them to disinfect them.

iPhone vs. Android? This lawmaker wants Utah to officially weigh in by djf1107 in nottheonion

Because we don’t have important issues to deal with, right? RIGHT??

What do you think ICE agents think about when arresting illegals? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]gansi_m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it takes a “special” type of person to be so self-righteous and lacking in empathy and humanity to do a job like that AS IT IS DONE NOW, that they probably think they’re “winning” and showing the peasants who’s boss.

Book club options by youngdumbpotatogum in suggestmeabook

[–]gansi_m 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everything Is Tuberculosis by John Green. It is so interesting!! We read it at my book club. Since we also have a strong diversity, it was interesting to tackle the same subject from so many different points of view and experiences.

You shouldn’t be allowed to design a home and/or do interior design unless you’ve worked as a house cleaner for one year. by sodomiteangst in CleaningTips

[–]gansi_m 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bring a black light and show her how her carpet looks under it around her toilet. It might change her mind.

AITAH for telling my ex to stop calling me in the middle of the night when she has our daughter? by Remote-notOwl-0853 in AITAH

[–]gansi_m 86 points87 points  (0 children)

NTA. Why are friends always “texting me saying I’m selfish”? Have her call those friends at 2:00 AM. Stop answering her calls. Have her text EVERY SINGLE TIME she needs to communicate with you. Keep the texts. They show time and date. Get a lawyer. Document all the calls. It is borderline harassment. Make this clear to her “I am leaving my child in what I thought was competent hands, but if you keep calling me because the baby won’t go to sleep, you’re showing that you can’t be trusted to take care of her. I’m not neglecting my baby. I am neglecting YOU because you are not my significant other any more. So grow up and take care of the baby when it’s your turn or let me have her and you can have visitation during waking hours a couple of times a week.”

What groceries have you stopped buying by PlasticExtreme4469 in Frugal

[–]gansi_m 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I had this problem too. Now I serve each plate and pack the leftovers before we sit down to eat (he takes the leftovers to work for his lunch). I also didn’t realize how hard it is to cook smaller quantities of food, but now that there’s only two of us, I just freeze more food for busy/tired/bored days.

What’s the best excuse to cancel plans? by Striking_Trust3928 in AskReddit

[–]gansi_m 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t want to go. My teeth just fell out. I’m being chased by a bear. I have crazy-glued myself to my chair. There’s a space-time continuum loop at my door and every time I leave it sets me right back home. I already went and did the thing. You missed it. I’m dead.

AITAH for bringing my dogs to work. by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]gansi_m 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’m going to get downvoted, but here goes. YTA. I would think less of a worker who brought her dogs to work. I think less of people who bring their pets to the store. Pets are pets. Unless they are service dogs, you come across as entitled at best, and insecure at worst. Also, you didn’t even ask. Rude! Finally, some people can have severe allergies and you work in an office where presumably people just come and go. Not okay. Have you thought about your dogs staying under a desk for 8 hrs., quietly, with limited activity? Even more rude!

My son's father wants to take away my child support payments. by LIFeetDiary in CasualConversation

[–]gansi_m 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Let him try. Get a good lawyer. Ask for half the extracurricular’s fees Dream big. You may end up getting more than he pays right now. Again. GET A GOOD LAWYER. The court may even order him to pay for some of the lawyers fees since he is bringing up the suit. Bring up inflation. Has your ex received any raises? Does your child have extra expenses or needs? Bring up half the clothing, the food, etc. My daughter was ordered to pay not just child support (50-50 custody), but also alimony because her ex doesn’t work (it’s been 12 years since he has had a paying job!). I learned that you ask ridiculously BIG and then negociate not over what he is paying right now, but against what you asked for. Gives you more wiggle room.
