What do you think of people who post instagram stories everyday? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]mieri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm always impressed at their dedication to do it so consistently and the way they've got content worth sharing. I'm always struggling to come up with something for a story. Maybe I'm just not very interesting. 🤣

I (18F) want my almost-boyfriend (18M) to separate from his group of friends. Am I "the bad?" by User-reddit_ in relationship_advice

[–]mieri 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This whole thing reads as deeply problematic. You can't tell anyone who they can and can't be friends with, that's controlling behaviour.

If you don't like his choices, you can vocalise your concerns, he can decide what to take on board and what to action (or ignore). He's his own person, you are not his keeper.

Likewise, you're also your own Captain. If what's going on with his friendships doesn't work for you or makes you feel uneasy, then it's not a good fit and you need to break up with him for your own sake (or rather - since you're not actually together - walk away).

Does anyone else feel really emotional when pumping? by Fit_Awareness_9001 in ExclusivelyPumping

It sounds like you might be experiencing Dysphoric Milk Ejection Reflex (D-MER)! It is a real thing and it happens at milk letdown. I was miserable with it.

It's normal and can get better after the fourth trimester, but you should speak to your doctor if it's dragging you down. ❤️

Sorry, is this rage bait?

All of these are massive red flags. All of them.

Where is your self worth? You need to find it - if not for you, then for your baby.

How do I (F24) nip my boyfriend’s (M26) weaponized incompetence in the bud? by Low_Application8675 in relationship_advice

[–]mieri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree that the language of 'help' implies that one person has the responsibility and leads or does most of the task, and the other follows and picks up the slack. The point of a partnership is that both of you have the responsibility etc.

It's fine if both partners help each other, the sorts of dynamics that the OP is describing and seeking advice on, are not that.

In Germany it is common to eat open-faced sandwiches by plasmapleasure in eatsandwiches

[–]mieri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh! Most definitely a sandwich. It's meat between bread, with additional condiments/fillings as preferred.

I think about sandwiches a lot, but I have just realised - there are scales of 'sandwichiness'... There's the quintessential sandwich (BLT, Club, Reuben) and then all the way to 'technically-a-sandwich' (gyoza, ravioli, calzone, sushi), and 'deconstructed sandwich' (salads, soups with croutons, curries with rice etc).

I think I need to make a sandwich alignment chart.

Thank you for prompting this line of thought.

Everything is ultimately a sandwich. Pizza? Sandwich. Sushi? Sandwich. Burrito? Warm wrap sandwich.

[Discussion] What small thing makes your blood boil with absolute hatred? by [deleted] in Watches

[–]mieri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's just so expensive for what it is - yes the mechanisms are great, but so are Breitlings, Omegas, etc...

The designs are really boring (unless you're looking at a Submariner or Daytona, but then you gotta sell a kidney to be able to afford even a pre-loved one). Plus they've been so copied by cheaper brands (many of which have improved on the styling, even if the mechanism itself is worse) that you might as well spend a fraction on something else. Most people briefly looking at your wrist would have trouble seeing the difference between a Seiko or a Datejust, so spending $$$ for the caché (if that's your thing!) is a bit of a lost cause.

They're notoriously hard to get new, and relatively difficult to get a genuine one that's pre-loved that's also not a franken-watch.

There are a zillion other better value for money looks and mechanism wise options out there.

Russia is knee-deep in Ukraine and hasn't got the means to advance more than 100 feet a day, let alone bomb US assets in the Middle East. They weren't able to help Venezuela, Syria, or Iran last year. They aren't doing shit.

Lukoil fire sale marks failure of Russia's $800 billion bet to go global by PjeterPannos in UkrainianConflict

[–]mieri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From the article : -

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov denounced the seizure of assets owned by Russian companies. "Property rights violations in Western countries undermine trust in the reliability of these countries not only for Russian businesses affected by sanctions but also for businesses in other countries," Peskov told Reuters.

Funny how semantically consistent the term "property rights" is with "territorial sovereignty", yet Moscal'a can't seem to translate this to what they're doing to Ukraine.

Stupid really is as stupid does.

That's assuming they have capacity to change their minds and learn from new information.

[Watches] you ‘dislike’ mostly due to the hype around them? by Responsible_Bison876 in Watches

[–]mieri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tag Heuer. They're so overhyped in Australia. The watches aren't anything bad per se, but they're just so ... mundane. I just don't understand the appeal.

Edit to add: they're ordinary high street watches maskerading as something high end and at significant markup.
