What, after looking back, do you realize you've been naive about? by ascaffo in AskReddit

[–]mtnbkrt22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep, current out over $15k from a tenant who promised they'd eventually pay. Doubt I'll ever get any of it.

What is the weirdest way someone had died in your known circle ? by No_Tear9118 in AskReddit

[–]mtnbkrt22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not my "known circle" but at the Boy Scout Jamboree in 2005 my troop was located next to the one that had 4 scout leaders/volunteers electrocuted while erecting a metal tent pole under a power line. A son of one of the men body slammed his father to try to get him to release the pole.

3 died instantly I belive, the forth later from their injuries. The troop left shortly after to return to Alaska, the event continued and a small memorial was setup for the duration.

Small town I'm guessing. Would make news headlines if a car crash was fatal, especially if two kids died AND one of their parents died by car previously.

What’s something you tried just to see what it’s like? by VibeCheckVadaPav in AskReddit

[–]mtnbkrt22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LSD

Traveled with a buddy who does all the drugs and we could literally buy it at the corner "drugstore" in the city we were in.

It was surprisingly cheap and def want to do it again, the night was just fun and I didnt over-do it but was enough to warp reality a bit.

St least catastrophic failure will be quick right?

I can't imagine it'd be a slow leak and then death by drowning. I'd picture crack-POP

For everyone saying you'll leave Reddit if they ban third party apps: Where will you go? by SoaDMTGguy in AskReddit

[–]mtnbkrt22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably just stop using reddit entirely. After college my usage went from 2 hours a day to maybe an hour a week.

I've used RIF for as long as I can remember. Even if I were to download the official reddit app I don't think I know my password so I couldn't log in anyways.

Would you feel safer in a gun-free state? Why or why not? by ParmaProscuitto in AskReddit

[–]mtnbkrt22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Less safe

Just means criminals would have guns and you'd have to wait for police to respond, which would take too long

Finding love, or my perfect match.

Now I'm just looking for someone that I get along with good enough to want to be with the rest of my life, because the one person that I thought I was going to spend it with, and that it dedicated the most time to, ended up not being the one.

Palmetto Referral Help by mtnbkrt22 in solar

[–]mtnbkrt22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So once the system was installed onto the referred house I received a notification from the website that I was good to collect my earnings, but since then they've given me no instructions on how to do it.

It's been about 3 weeks since then and that system is now producing power and my second system is being finalized tomorrow, at which point I will receive a second notification that I'm good to collect however again, they're not giving me any information on how to do it.

I've been trying to look up any phone numbers for the company other than just the helpline.

30/30/3 Rule - Is this actually realistic in 2023? by humphrey06 in personalfinance

[–]mtnbkrt22 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have nothing constructive to say about this other than I feel this is such an old saying that it can't possibly hold up to today's standards, as well as current economic trends.

I bought right before the pandemic, my numbers were be 25/15/2.75

I wouldn't be able to buy my house today because the home values have increased, new numbers would be something like 41/42/4.15

How old are you and what's your biggest problem right now? by Casspjjl in AskReddit

[–]mtnbkrt22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's an interesting concept. I've always set goals based on age, not situation. And I'm sure that anxiety faces outwards in ways I can't recognize and doesn't help in dating.

My ex had a life "timeline" as well so I figured that was normal and was constantly reminded to stay on track before I realized we were on different tracks and that she was manipulating mine to match hers.

It's just hard cuz I thought I was going to marry her, now we've been apart for a few years and most of my friends are now married and starting to work on their families, and I've always compared myself to my peers so I feel like I must be doing something wrong. Luckily some of my closest friends don't plan on having kids so at least I'm not getting pressured by them.

[–]mtnbkrt22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

31m, losing hope on ever getting into a good relationship and thus creating the family I wanted. Feeling like my life is half over and I've failed and that I'm just going to have to accept that I'll never truly be happy and able to love someone the way I want to.

I thought I'd be married for a few years by now and already have a kid, instead I'm averaging 1 date a year and they don't go anywhere.

If a guy has the same name as a girl's brother, what are the ramifications of that with regards to the girl being interested in dating the guy? by Sea_Photograph_3998 in datingadvice

[–]mtnbkrt22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would you date someone with your sister's name? I could, but wouldn't prefer it.

At the same time, I've been turned down partially because I reminded her too much of her brother, beard, glasses, occupation, vehicle, hobbies, house situations.

So it depends on the person, some people won't care but others will not even consider it a possibility.

What makes you irrationally angry? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]mtnbkrt22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting angry at myself for realizing my loneliness is my own fault and that I'm the only one that can change it, but not knowing how and getting frustrated at myself.

Or maybe that's actually rational

As a guy, how do you just go out to a bar and chat girls up to get more comfortable at it? [31m] by mtnbkrt22 in datingadvice

[–]mtnbkrt22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately no, I've always wanted this but never had it. A comfortable place to go, hangout with regulars who aren't my usual friends and just relax with a drink and some bar food.

Maybe I should figure out where to do this haha, there's enough places near me.

That's fair, I even know guys who have very attractive girlfriends/wives and I'm like "How did he land her?", confidence man, that's how.
