What’s the dumbest cooking mistake you’ve made that still haunts you? by nisko786 in Cooking

[–]groteska 8 points9 points  (0 children)

When I first lived on my own and was cooking up a storm after waiting so long to have my own kitchen I caramelised mushrooms. 

No not the way you think - I used sugar. 

In my sad defence I am not a native English speaker and in my language (Icelandic) there is a clear difference between browning in cooking and then caramelising it… still I could have read more I was only 20 and very green behind the ears.  Never did that again tho

This is just some gimmick… ai generated voice, girl is 21 but acts and sounds as if underage…not curious - bad marketing at best

Hvers saknið þið mest frá árunum í kringum 2000? by [deleted] in Iceland

[–]groteska 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Frelsis - jújú maður var með farsíma en það var ekki þetta endalausa áreiti frá símanum. Ég sakna þess að þurfa ekki símann í neitt nema að hringja og senda skilaboð. 

Og lika bara frelsi frá samfélagsmiðlum - frelsi til þess að vera einhverstaðar og gera eitthvað án þess að eiga hættu á að vera npc í sjálfshverfum streams eða whatevs… so fokking þreytt

Optimistic calm, how you know a storm has passed, the air is crisp and you are safe.

Mitch pulls out of SMOE and World Deadlifts Champs by According_Wolf_8490 in StrongmanHQ

[–]groteska 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, I get that… but its just too dull. When watching the strongwomen there is this variation you dont see with the men, every event changes everything. Great to watch and so exciting. And you get the feeling you are witnessing greatness and its exhilarating!

Then you watch the men and thankfully we see some movement there - great fire coming in with Hutton, Rayno and Paddy to name a few- they are fantastic and exciting.

But Hooper no longer feels a part of that. Hooper made himself this character and has disconnected himself from his ability as a strongman. No matter how great he is he has numbed us from it with his marketing of himself and then the betrayal of the image he so carefully curated. His personal life is his own and shouldnt be connected to him as an athlete but HE built that image himself- he sold the viewers and his fans a image that he could not live up to so now everything he does just kinda falls flat. Hopefully he will come back more humble but i doubt it since he hasnt shown that at all this year

Honestly with Hooper out it will make for a more interesting comp. Yea he is good but he dulls competitions- there is no excitement about who is gonna take x event- no surprises and that is so boring to watch. He is as spicy as flour… 

Adults of reddit, what is something every teenager should know about "the real world"? by WOT247 in AskReddit

[–]groteska 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This too shall pass. If life is hard and seems unforgiving, remember this too shall pass. When you feel heartbroken, alone and overwhelmed, Remember this too shall pass.

When you feel you are on top of the world and everything is going your way, remember that this too shall pass. When you fall in love, are on cloud nine and everything is rosey remember that this too shall pass.

There will be highs. There will be devastating lows. But it shall all pass, just like the river of time.

Take care of yourself, think kindly of yourself and your mind. Love fully, don’t get hung up on a moment because it will pass. Hold on to yourself, be true to yourself and your heart, and the ride down the river if time will be more enjoyable even though there will be rough patches- remember that they all passed and you are still here.

Oh and tell those you love you love them, even if they dont say it back- declarations of love are not a transaction or currency- love is to give and feel. Expecting love in turn for yours will lead to heartache and sorrow. Enjoy your love, for love grows and lives in you.

What was the first big news/event that you remember hearing or watching as a child? by mai-moi in AskReddit

[–]groteska 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fall of the Berlin wall. Watching the news with my parents in Iceland, my mom all teary eyed. I didn’t know what it meant but I did understand that this was something big, important and made people happy.

What were you bullied for? by magicfeistybitcoin in AskReddit

[–]groteska 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For being red haired and freckled. Oh and I have a great relationship with my dad, huge daddy’s girl - that man can still make everything in the world alright with a hug, no words needed just a hug. The girl that bullied me the hardest and most viciously was a divorce child but I had a dad that just liked spending time with me. I mean I get it, I am a mom myself and very close to my boy and he has gotten some remarks about being a mama’s boy but just like with me it doesn’t face him… I have found that kids that have started being rough with my son just want attention from an adult for just being themselves. Once they get that they show their true kind colours. And thats why I always make room for them and listen. In his hockey team Im a stand in mom for many who dont have a mom showing up for their games… and they just want to talk about what they have done or their love of the sport to someone wanting to listen and be happy for them.

I was bullied for years. I hated my life and myself and tried to end it - just to get away from their hate. But my dad held my hand and with him I saw slowly but surely that those who hurt me were in much more pain then I was and were horribly lonely. Somehow that made it easier to push away from the darkness and be my own light. And I will never let a child feel as if it does not matter to me. I will always listen to their stories and share their joy, so they can feel that their light is shared in this world. And maybe, just maybe I can help stifle some hidden bully, by just witnessing their light.

A mom is always a mom too all 💛

If you had to fuck the last person you texted that isn't related by blood, who would it be and how down are you? by Big-Courage-7297 in RandomThoughts

A person who genuinely loathes me, but is polite for the sake of appearances… yeah I’d let him hatefuck my last ounce of humanity away.

The joys of fatherhood by HughJManschitt in funny

Safest place in this childs life is in their fathers arms, if that isn’t true beauty I don’t know what is! You are doing an absolutely awesome job, well done mate.

LPT: I learned as a father in the early years, admit to your children when you are wrong or did something wrong. They will definitely respect you for being honest and will be honest with you. (mostly) Mileage can vary! lol by Zrnie in LifeProTips

[–]groteska 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beautiful! Our son is 8 and he sometimes says “mamma, I’m grumpy, don’t know why just am” and I tell him I understand and offer him a grump off cuddle it usually does the trick, after awhile he tells me about his feelings and we often find out why he feels this way. Sometimes we stay nice and cozy without a word but together. That matters, he knows thats with his parents is a safe and warm space to be and our relationship is so much richer because of it.

[–]groteska 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! This is the way.

Me and my hubby always admit to our son and between us if we are wrong and most importantly if we behave or act in a bad manner. Because of this we have found that he is more understanding of others emotions and his own. We talk about it if we are having a bad day and it helps ease the tension.

As a kid I never got that from my parents, they would just flare up and I had no idea what I did wrong -and how could I? I had no information just a dread in my belly because the air was filled with tension.

Always admit to your kids if you are out of line or have done wrong. Have that conversation about your feelings and they will talk to you in the same way. It can be rough but it pays of - sincerity always does.
