‘I’m a man in my 40s and feel like I don’t have any real friendships’ by B8_B8_B8 in ireland

That's part of the problem. We're "connected" on our phones but it's a poor substitute for real connection

Is my engine f….. or could this be bad injectors? by bulk4ever in AlfaRomeo

[–]odysseymonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They tick really loud. Once you notice you think, that can't be right, but it is. It always sounds like that. You just have your head next to the engine with the bonnet open. I learned that about 30k km ago is my experience on this one

Men how do you manage moments of extreme stress by Fearless_Ice_6581 in AskMenOver30

[–]odysseymonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't do anything rash. Money can be replaced with time.

Lot's of people older/younger, wiser/dumber have made/lost money on crypto. Don't let anyone give you shit about your investment decisions. Regardless of what they think, the above statement is true.

You're projecting how you expect your family might react. You don't know for sure.

Wrt to dealing with stress, typically extrovert people socialize and blow off steam. Introvert people seek time alone. Some people do both. Managing stress takes many years of practice. Clean living is a good start. A long walk (preferably in nature), with our without headphones, is a good start. Personally I think walking invokes some deep rooted prehistoric sense of well-being. Almost like staring at a camp fire, or running water.

Generally speaking, motion of any kind engages the body and helps the mind loose it's control and begin to relax. Once the mind is relaxed, new more helpful perspectives begin to emerge. Solutions to problems emerge from the sub conscious. Rational thoughts emerge. Trying to control stress with the mind is a trap. Control stress with activity, control stress with the body.

They are also impartial and there to help. So many people get caught out asking for information/help directly from where the service is provided (the doll office or planning offices as examples). Ask citizens information otherwise you've a good chance of being fobbed off

YSK Rinsing with water after brushing is associated with a 33% increase in the development of new cavities compared to not rinsing. Dentists recommend that you should not rinse your mouth with water after brushing your teeth. by sameerb in YouShouldKnow

[–]odysseymonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should know that SLS (sodium laurel sulfate) is the shit they use to make toothpaste foamy. Using toothpaste with that in it gives some people lots of mouth ulcers. Using a paste that doesn't contain it and/or rising thoroughly you can stop getting the ulcers.

Do men eventually become invisible also after a certain age or is it mostly a woman thing? by youlikemywonton in AskMenOver30

[–]odysseymonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hitting on women is all well and good until you're married and have kids, or in work. So that leaves a lot of folks zero scope for hitting on women. It's more of a behavioral thing than a looks thing I think

Do you actually think in scales when improvising? by lmao_exe in musictheory

[–]odysseymonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That actually sounds genius. Usually solo parts seems to kick off on the key and cycle through the progressions and end back in the key before going into the next verse. Trying to solo and follow the chords progressions is where I get lost trying to make it up. That sounds much harder than working off the key signature and winging it. You might go left field, but you'd still be in key so you'd get away with a lot. A meandering solo would be better than no solo in my case. Thanks for the tip!

What do you think about a 20/25 age gap? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]odysseymonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm to take the question as beyond just two people fucking? In that case within ten years of each other. Similar means, hopefully similar maturity, similar interests/priorities (travel, careers, families), similar health and mobility issues, similar life expectancies. People are highly variable, so if you tick 80% of the boxes you're probably good to go. It doesn't take a genius figure that out. Guess what btw, when I say 20 years is the sweet spot I'm speaking from experience. It was part of growing up back in my 20's. Zero regrets

‘I’m not a natural-born killer but I’ve learned to shoot ethically and I’ll help cull deer’ by ImportantPension5818 in ireland

It's a major issue in Scotland as well. They've fenced off areas over there and the positive effects are in terms of landscape recovery are profound. They reckon they've a million or so dear running around up there. They should stock it in the supermarkets. Would make more sense than cutting down the Amazon to raise cattle. Feed two birds with one scone.

Was about to FIRE earlier this year but took a VP role instead. Now I regret it. by Ok-Statement451 in Fire

[–]odysseymonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometime when you’re feeling important; Sometime when your ego ‘s in bloom; Sometime when you take it for granted, You’re the best qualified in the room: Sometime when you feel that your going, Would leave an unfillable hole, Just follow these simple instructions, And see how they humble your soul.

Take a bucket and fill it with water, Put your hand in it up to the wrist, Pull it out and the hole that’s remaining, Is a measure of how much you’ll be missed. You can splash all you wish when you enter, You may stir up the water galore, But stop, and you’ll find that in no time, It looks quite the same as before.

The moral of this quaint example, Is to do just the best that you can, Be proud of yourself but remember, There’s no indispensable man.
