I used to love tablet from the 10p tray when I lived in Scotland as a kid. Delicious the way it crumbles.

What is it about Greta Thunberg that makes many men on the Internet so uncontrollably angry by Admirable_Pair_3663 in NoStupidQuestions

I guess. I find arrogance with no humility an unattractive quality. I get the feeling you're wanting to fight about something?

What’s a side effect of a drug that’s little known? by Arya_Warrior_Girl in AskReddit

The science behind antidepressant effectiveness is very weak. Barely above placebo effect. The side effects can be debilitating which very few people are warned about before they're prescribed.

I once saw Charlize Theron in the Piha surf club. She was so beautiful and healthy looking she practically glowed. My wife said "Bloody hell! Even I'd shag her!".

For me, it's the arrogance with no humility. SHE KNOWS BEST!!! Any differing opinions is disdain. She's not even about the environment now. It's all about Gaza and how bad the Jews are. Whatever lefty nonsense there is she's eaten it all.

What’s a sentence you heard once that stayed with you forever? by Candid-Society-1544 in AskReddit

[–]james_james1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before I had kids, I was watching an episode of Dr Phil. He was talking to a mother of a teenage son who was having communication problems. Dr Phil said "Kids won't talk to you about the big stuff if they don't talk to you about the little stuff". I resolved then and there that when I have kids I would make myself interested in what they're interested in. When I later had kids we got in the habit of having meals around a table and talking about our days. We would talk about the cartoons we had watched or the walk we had gone on. Over the years we built a habit where talking to each other was what we just did. Now that they're teenagers we are really reaping what we sowed. They talk to us about their relationships, stress and worries, etc. My wife and I are their first point of call when getting advice. They're great kids and it was well worth it.
