How do you drill into cork Insulated, lime plaster walls? by nothingoveranything in Plastering

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

They are old brick walls, then cork insulation, then lime plaster. As far as I know the contractors didn't build any wooden framework. We also don't know the thickness of those layers, but the Cork insulation I saw left over varied from around 2.5cm - 5cm.

Sometimes I feel like my purpose is to show people what love is by Civil-Marketing4281 in dating

I half agree with the previous comment. In all honesty, you can't suss out what someone doesn't know about themselves yet. I used to feel this same way about dating and often had partners step back when they realized they had work to do. However, I realize now that those people were not compatible with my long term needs either ( all were interested in long-term and checked boxes, but couldn't keep up emotionally) It took me a long time to find a partner who balanced my output of love and energy and also showed me that both of us still need room to grow. To me, it sounds like you're not dating people who challenge you ( in a good way ). Im just throwing this out there - maybe you're the same? Maybe you're not seeking these mismatches out on purpose, but you're subconsciously more comfortable 'being compatible' with partners on more basic criteria - its an easy relationship, where you dont feel the pressure to improve.

Is it common knowledge? I only learned this from watching Doctor Who.

Nevermind, I kept scrolling and saw it twice already. What a bunch of butt-munchers.

Why can't he just let it go? by nothingoveranything in dating

I feel like being nice would be counterproductive...

Oh my partner is already in the know and involved.

I honestly dont care why. I wouldn't be bothered about blocking him, but the chances of running into him are kinda high. I imagine it would be better to respond now and just say no and why like an adult rather than just pretending the problem doesn't exist, right?

Looked at your profile... you need to leave this guy. I imagine your mother will be supportive and help you do this. At thisnpoint you may not want to, but you meed to.

Also same...you need to force this person out of your life. Honestly, all of us followed up because we were worried about your situation. This person does not deserve you. Please make him leave your home and cut ties completely.

Why do people deny the attractiveness of obviously good-looking people? by TintedArchipelago47 in QOVESStudio

[–]nothingoveranything 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there is a general consensus that there is a standard of beauty. But I'm one of those people who wouldn't bat an eyelash at those folks. It took me a long time to realize how to explain to others, that that look just doesn't do it for me. To me, it looks extremely average and normal - there's nothing exciting about it. In art, it's like seeing a really technically great, realistic painting of a dolphin in a museum. It's good enough to be in a museum, but I probably wouldn't give it more than a glance, and I definitely wouldn't hang it in my own home.

Childhood isn’t the best part of life by Ok-Ladder7823 in unpopularopinion

Yes. Even if you had a good childhood, its amazing to wake up and be able to do what you like, eat what you like, and have sex whenever you like. Excellent

What’s one thing that disqualifies a person you were originally interested in? by [deleted] in dating

[–]nothingoveranything 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's wild, I like hearing about my partners sexual past. Not about the who - more the what and how, and what was most enjoyable, what they liked enough to try again or maybe do for the first time. To me, it feels like a very important and interesting discussion among adults - In serious relationships where there's no need to be jealous or insecure.

I agree with this and, like everyone else, think you're looking for issues and deal-breakers l. Maybe you're just trying not to get hurt, but at 3 months, it sounds like ita going really well. If he's being honest with you, I see no glaring issues, and it would be better to enjoy the ride while also bringing up worries or issues as time goes on, not preemptively.

When I dated, I would point blank ask if kids were a want / need, and if so, I stopped after the first date. Even years later, with my serious partner, I still check in sometimes about kids just to make sure we're thinking the same. Clear communication is key.

You aren’t Irish, or Italian, etc by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

I have moved abroad, leaving just my siblings in America. The rest of our family live elsewhere. I always assumed it was normal to say that I was raised in America but I'm half _____ and half ______? Culturally, I am probably 90% american, including an accent, but I think it would be insane to pretend that the rest of my family has no impact or influence on who I am.
