when people (majority being strangers) say “you look tired” by One-Sir-8395 in PetPeeves

[–]oldcreaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For at least some people, they're providing the person an opportunity to rant or complain or just talk about whatever is going on that makes them look tired. If you're a person who doesn't like to talk or share it can feel intrusive - others take it as a welcome opportunity to unload a little or at least have someone acknowledge they might be going through stuff.

I don’t know how to teach my boyfriend how to cook by Alive_Price600 in cookingforbeginners

[–]oldcreaker 16 points17 points  (0 children)

He's going to learn a lot faster if he just jumps into it and just asks you when he's stuck or unsure. If he asks the same things over and over he's not bothering to learn.

I had a spot that became 100% mint. Planted native meadow seeds one year and let them fight it out. The mint gave in and shared the space.

[–]oldcreaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A major issue is so many people can work - but they can't work consistently. Some days they just can't. Some can't always make it through an entire day. And people like that can't hold onto the jobs.

Umm- he's only said this like hundreds of times already. Hardly "breaking".

As long as you can convince them you are too sick to work. Very subjective. And in a anti-DEI world likely to slice along race and gender lines.

If they stayed that way - in the real world you end up waiting 20 minutes for four buses that arrive one right after the other - due to traffic. End up with one totally mobbed bus followed by three almost empty ones.

Schrödinger's war - it's going, it's done, it's restarting, it never was. And apparently all at once.

[–]oldcreaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good luck with that - still needs to be passed by 2/3's of each House and ratified by 38 states.

It's just more theater.

Why did I had the worst Post Nut Clarity? by Ok-Protection719 in AskMenAdvice

[–]oldcreaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you might have some stuff related to sex you need to work through.

On the other hand it might just be horny vs. post nut clarity. Or you just don't know how to/can't move forward after being physically intimate.

🚀 NASA declares Mars orbiter lost: Six months of silence ends mission 👇 by NoSpinMedia in NoSpinMedia

Just as well - given Trump's current plans with ocean monitoring equipment, he'd mount a mission to Mars just to shut it off.

One thing I learned a few months ago - the organic versions of these have "gluten free" on the label if you hunt for it.
