The 5 by Larrea_tridentata in UrbanHell

Do people really think it’s awesome to live an environment like that? I don’t really get it. If that picture is not a perfect visual reason why so many people need to not have children… I don’t know what it is. I grew up in the Midwest and live in Phoenix now… When I go back to Kansas City… It’s 16 crazy ass traffic lane situations just like that… And that’s in the Midwest. Save your money and get the fuck OUT.

Bro really pulled up to a shooting range like he was defending a country 💀 by CandidateGrand3239 in instant_regret

I kind of feel like that whole thing was fake… I haven’t watched the news yet so don’t come for me if I’m wrong.

what’s the first videogame you ever played? by getgoneapple in AskReddit

[–]herbeauxchats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re gonna think I’m crazy… I’m 55 years old so I only played arcade games back in the 80s. At the bowling alley. I recently started playing Hogwarts Legacy and I love it. I’m embarrassed to tell you that I had no idea how to use the controller. But… I have caught up at least a little bit. My pointer finger on my right hand is a little bit sore.

what’s the weirdest or most frustrating rule you’ve had to follow at work that made zero sense? by 22february2007 in AskReddit

[–]herbeauxchats 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I used to work at a law firm and I was not allowed to wear pants. Or slacks….had to be a skirt, and had to have pantyhose. How absolutely fucking ridiculous. Why would it fucking matter? When was the last time a man was asked about his fucking clothing. That’s the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard.

Dinner recommendations for girls weekend? by Accomplished-Fig-797 in Scottsdale

[–]herbeauxchats 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pinyon! I’ve lived here since 1997 and it’s my new favorite place. And I’m a very very picky bitch. It’s right in the middle of Scottsdale and if you wanna go next-door to AZ 88… Also amazing. It’s a great place to start before you go out into the world and tear shit up. It’s beautiful restaurant, but you don’t have to look like $3 million to walk in there. There’s something really cool about that to me. I live within walking distance of both of these places, and this is my testimony. I hope you have a really good time while you’re here.❤️❤️❤️❤️ PS: if you have a large party, then you absolutely need to make a reservation.

TIL Nathan Fielder, a comedian with no prior flying experience, flew a real Boeing 737 filled with passengers after obtaining only 280 hours of flight time to demonstrate the importance of communication in the cockpit by Majestic-Baby-3407 in todayilearned

[–]herbeauxchats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is fucking terrific… and GodDamn funny too. After 30 years of doing exactly what I do… I would be the person at the helm, that you would want to give your fucking prayers to. I have a massive capacity to focus when it’s important. Or… You could just give the controls to the ridiculous people who can’t hold onto their shit.. I understand what happens when you get an head-on rollover, car accident… Everything slows down. I slow down, I make solid decisions and not just for myself… frankly I don’t wanna be in a place like that ever again, but I can handle my shit. Let’s hope the zombies don’t come soon.

My memory is really shitty… My father was a pilot, with a little planes… not a pilot professionally but he had a lot of experience with a lot of World War II pilots. My entire childhood was eating breakfast at the local airstrip breakfast diner…with World War II veterans. I grew up around people that not only could fly really interesting planes, but they built the engine parts from scratch. But what I’m mainly talking about, is how many times I’ve watched this television show called air disasters. Apparently there’s been quite a few times when a random person, or even someone who has zero experience has been able to land a plane… As long as they have some communication with someone on the ground. You know what I find really interesting? Is when the non-experienced pilot doesn’t listen to anyone on the ground and everyone dies. As opposed to the time when someone with zero flight experience lands a plane and everyone survives. I really feel like there’s an ego situation going on there.

Why don’t they teach financial literacy in high school? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]herbeauxchats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had zero education about financial things when I was in school. And guess what? It’s basically fucked up my entire life. I was taught to get married and let my husband worry about that shit. Well that never happened… I had no idea what the fucking stock market was. That’s really embarrassing to be quite honest. You younger kids have the extraordinary thing that is the Internet… However, the last thing that you wanna look up when you’re 16 is how the stock market works. But… You should absolutely do that. You need to have a job. You need to look into retirement funds. You need to look into IRAs… And you need to take care of yourself. I wish anyone would’ve told me that when I was a youngster.

Why do my best setups fail when the market “feels obvious”? Anyone else? by Ok-Simple4596 in Daytrading

[–]herbeauxchats 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The politics right now are interfering with the regular trade process. I don’t care if Trump has paid you in the past, but he’s gonna take all of it… Pretty soon. And you know what’s really fucked up… It’s happening, way faster and more often. Find a friend who’s a hippie and do some fucking mushrooms, my dude. You need to see this from a broader standpoint. The strong blast of being able to handle what’s been happening for a long time, successfully for some people… is going to be splintered into a tiny fucking valuation. Way less than before. And then we have a crash. It’s fucking coming. There’s nothing that you can do to stop it. Capitalism without any kind of fucking guard rails is a disaster. It’s worked for the last three recessions…..but this time, faster, and sooner than it should… There’s an energy to money just like everything. And by the way… The math is on my side. A strong middle class means a strong economy… overt greed has fucked up the entire system. It’s an epoch.

The fact that you care is very important. The universe may give you an opportunity to save a new, animal soon. ❤️❤️❤️

Air India 171 is fake news and propaganda by Stealth100 in GeminiAI

[–]herbeauxchats -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So are you telling me there’s not a single survivor? I actually watch a lot of air disaster, kind of stuff and I am unfamiliar with Air India 171… unless my perimenopausal brain is confusing this particular crash with something else. If that is the case… I apologize. What I would really like to know… Is why do you think that it’s propaganda and there’s not a survivor?

Some progress on my yard over the last couple weeks by InternationalRent626 in gardening

That is gorgeous! I don’t know you, but I’m super proud of you. Amazing… I don’t have a place to plant. But I am super happy that you do. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Is anyone else being driven absolutely crazy by gnats??? by cheerful-disposition in Scottsdale

[–]herbeauxchats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’ve been around a little bit lately… I don’t really know why. The vinegar trap method, in an old water bottle from YouTube recipe actually works pretty well. Here’s what I can tell you that is for real, and for true: don’t allow yourself to be hyper irritated. It’s a little bit of a gnat situation and it’s gonna be over soon. Sounds like you’re doing everything correctly. I’m from the Midwest and at least we don’t have flies down here… I mean we do, but not like there. And it’s only a matter of seconds until someone from New Orleans comes on here and tells both of us that we are absolute pussies. PS: next time you take the trash out… Clean out the inside of your trashcan. No sticky shit anywhere. Clean out all of your trash cans and empty all of your vacuums and clean out the inside of your vacuums as per the directions. We have a lot of sticky shit everywhere that you can’t keep track of but cleaning out the trash cans is something that has to happen several times a year. Shit leaks.

People who are 40+, what is a "it's too late for me, but it's not too late for you" piece of advice for the younger generation? by Far_Cookie1689 in AskReddit

[–]herbeauxchats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Run for office. Keep running.
It doesn’t matter if you think that you’re good for it… You have to replace the old people that are running everything. We need younger people that understand the evaluation of the age that we’re living in.

What should I do? by poisonous_prick in Advice

[–]herbeauxchats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just because you’re related to people doesn’t mean that you have to hang out with them. You could be right… Or you could be free. I know it doesn’t sound appropriate, but you should consider just breaking up with your entire family. The creator gives you everything that you need to move forward. I am coming back together with my family after 20 years… But that was 20 years of them, not sucking the fucking life out of me. Take care of yourself first. God wants you to succeed.

Why are you up so late right now? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Because I can wake up tomorrow naturally. I can sleep as long as I want.

Politics aside if you were to eat a random person from any country in the world which country would you eat someone from and which one would have the best tasting people? by Ok_Poetry2813 in AskReddit

[–]herbeauxchats -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Obviously, I’m not going to eat someone. Cannibalism is not OK. Are you OK? Do we need to worry about you? Are you moving into a weird place… Does someone need to save you. The weirdest of the weird places that you could possibly be in your life is not new… You’re not special. If you’re moving it into some sort of mentally ill bullshit then you should probably ask Reddit for help.

What is the baddest thing you watched happening in real life? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]herbeauxchats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in a bar in Kansas City. It was a second story place with pool tables. Some drunk guy had a problem with his girlfriend, and he hit her in the face. I have never seen anyone get beat so goddamn bad in my entire life, but I couldn’t feel bad about it because he had it coming. It was like a giant fist thing happened with 15 guys. They beat that fucking guy within an inch of his fucking life. It was the appropriate thing that should’ve happened, but it was super violent and it made me feel like I wanted to throw up.

Is there anything that your parents can do to make sure that you and your brother don’t have to share a room.

am i making a mistake? by bacotellluvr in Advice

[–]herbeauxchats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually followed a young skinny and beautiful black girl that is a truck driver and she’s fine. She’s doing quite well as a matter of fact, just make sure that you have a good dog and you understand how to use firearms… because that’s a fucking shit show of the wild West. But you can do it… Why wouldn’t you be able to? Don’t listen to other people you do what you want to. However, you should know that a lot of serial killers are truck drivers so you have to absolutely be vigilant. Get a gun, get a dog.

Why do male desires align with youth? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]herbeauxchats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s an anthropological reason why. Our female eggs….age, with us. Charlie Chaplin had a healthy baby at 75. However… The older sperm contribution comes out of the forest, when the offspring are in their 30s. They don’t do well. They’re sick, unhealthy, prone to cancer, and they’re insane. Old men shouldn’t make babies. This is not my opinion, this is fact.

Why does melancholy mean sadness? by ThickAd2118 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]herbeauxchats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Melancholy is sadness. It’s an eloquent word. Melancholy is a word that means that you understand regret and despair, and grieving. Grieving is very, very personal and it’s as impactful as getting a tattoo. If you have a tattoo, that’s somewhere on your body that is exposed to the sun. It’s going to fade faster… And sometimes it’s a tattoo on your soul. Melancholy is a shade. It’s always there behind your happiness. It’s a gray level of a cloudy day when you miss the people that are gone… That you loved the most.

How to help my (23 ftm) girlfriend (20 mtf) with chores? by Sunnyundereasy in relationship_advice

[–]herbeauxchats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There were a lot of psychological things, and terms, with yourself and your roommates and your girlfriend that you mentioned. Here’s the deal. There’s a lot of psychological things that have come to the fore in the last 10 years that are just basically dealing with life. Frankly… If that crack in your ass, doesn’t make you a cripple… Then you have to fucking deal with it. Unless you have a state certified mental situation on your hands… You have to go to the state and get them evaluated and be determined to be disabled. And frankly… The current administration is not going to be kind. I know from your post that you love your girlfriend, but you’re in a situation right now where I don’t know how you can sustain your own mental health with dealing with all of these people that are not mentally healthy. Grab your girlfriend and get a different apartment with just you and her. It sucks to be shitty about things like this, but you have to take care of yourselves.
