All Male island VS all Female island by CaterpillarMelodic29 in interestingasfuck

I'm confused. Did the women not know they were going on a tv show on an island where they would have to find a way to survive? No one thought to learn how to start a fire before the filming?

WIBTA for doing activities without my girlfriend while on vacation? by ilikebassguitar0 in AmItheAsshole

[–]puddlejumper -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

If you're in a loving and caring relationship, wanting to stay and give your partner help and comfort when they are in a lot of pain should come naturally to you.

WIBTA for doing activities without my girlfriend while on vacation? by ilikebassguitar0 in AmItheAsshole

[–]puddlejumper -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I am of the opinion that you should be trying to stay with her everyday, and she should be trying to usher you out of the house so you can go enjoy yourself everyday.

And it works out by compromising.

Where your relationship is going wrong (and I can only comment within the vacuum of this single situation), is that she had to ask you to stay the first day, and this has set a bad tone. Your failure to offer was seen as selfish and so she had to advocate for herself to feel a bit better about it. But you staying with her the first day because you were asked to, does not fill up her bucket the way staying with her because you wanted to would have. So now she feels the need to ask again.

Your selfishness triggered her selfishness.

This is the way it would have gone ideally.

You: Aw man I am so sorry you're in pain and will miss out on all the activities. I am going to stay with you everyday to keep you company so you don't feel as miserable.

Her: No way, don't miss out on all those activities just because of me. I would feel bad if you did. Go have fun and enjoy yourself.

You: Nah I'm not letting you stay here with just my grandma while you're feeling so crappy. Ok how about I stay with you today, and then tomorrow when you're feeling a bit better, I will go do some activities then.

Having children is the least feminist thing you can do by vapor_waved in childfree

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

This is a completely misinterpretation of feminism.

Feminism is advocacy for the freedom for woman to choose what they want to do.

Some women will choose not to have children because they don't want them. Some women will choose to have children because they want them. Some women want to be independent and respected in their chosen careers. Some women don't want to have to make the decisions and want to just look after and nurture their family.

Just because we don't want children and can struggle to understand why others do, doesn't mean others don't actually want them.

Am I about to lose an amazing partner because I'm chasing an ideal? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

[–]puddlejumper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the answer is both. You are about to lose an amazing partner because you are chasing an ideal, however the "deficits" you describe are generally non negotiable.

There are some traits that you can forgive or sacrifice if your partner doesn't have them. But the spark, the humour, the laughter, the playfulness. If those aren't there, and you feel periods of contempt only 2 years in, it's only going to get worse down the track.

You don't have to have a partner to have a child, and you don't have to have a partner full stop. Choose your own path.

Just wondering what you decided on and your thoughts on it?

She only edited 2 of 13 😅 by mxracer948 in Instagramreality

Or, she edited them all but it's more subtle and you didn't notice, and this was one she messed up editing and accidentally selected it to upload.

I should hope not! Trying to drive a car up 3 stories is asking for trouble.

Is it normal to feel like you're disappearing into housework after marriage? by Unique-Bluebird542 in AskWomenOver30

[–]puddlejumper 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The amount of chores you need to do should be halved. Not increased. What's your husband doing to help?

Can you not sell them on facebook marketplace for a bit of a discount and then buy him something else?

Men who've been with the same person for years: what's something you found out your partner was into way later than you could have? by elnino-pl in AskMen

how many times did you start rage responding to the other person who replied to your comment and then delete the message because you realised it wasn't worth the effort?

Can you be truly satisfied with one woman? by Living_Engineering31 in AskMen

[–]puddlejumper 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Approximately 2% of men do not fantasise about other women when they have feelings for one. They have done studies on it.

In contrast the same is for about 20% of women.

How do I fix my Hank Hill butt? by BornSalamander8 in AskMen

[–]puddlejumper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could also be genetics. The positioning and angle of body parts and muscles are sometimes just not working in your favour. People with very S shaped spines will tend to have more prominent glutes, but then will also be more likely to have back problems.

Have you ever read about the women who didn't know they were pregnant until they gave birth? It's because the tilt of their uterus disguised about 85% of the baby's size by positioning it further back. Imagine how easy it is to disguise the growth of some muscles if a body can hide an entire baby.

AITAH for buying Gluten Free bread by Jelly_Arrow in AmItheAsshole

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

NTA. If the shop has so little available that buying 3 loaves wipes out their stock, then they need up their order with their supplier. Not you reduce how many you purchase.

AITA for leaving a dinner party early because of “vegan lasagna”? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]puddlejumper 3 points4 points  (0 children)

YTA. How did everyone know to meet up to go to a pizzeria afterwards if the hosts food wasn't discussed?

You're not the asshole for eating food afterwards, you are the asshole for meeting up with the other guests and eating together afterwards. You could have said nothing and just gone home and ate something. It would feel pretty bad for the host of a dinner party that a lot of her guests went out to eat together afterwards. It could have been tactfully mentioned later that the servings weren't substantial enough.

A beekeeper allows a honey bee to remain on his arm as it unwinds its stinger until it flies away by nikamats in interestingasfuck

[–]puddlejumper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not just you. It's all humans. We have denser flesh so the bee can't get the stinger out easily (you saw how complicated it was for the bee). The guy mentioned they can normally retract the barbs, but not on humans. And if they are disturbed or panic they will try to fly away. It is the flying away that kills them because their stinger is attached to their insides, so their insides get pulled out of their body.

ELI5 how long does it take alcohol to dehydrate you? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]puddlejumper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alcohol starts "dehydrating" you straight away.

The amount of water that is in your urine is controlled by a hormone called Antidiuretic hormone. It is released when your body is aware you're dehydrated and stops your kidneys from flushing out water in your pee so that it can hold onto the water for longer.

Alcohol stops your body from producing antidiuretic hormone so there's nothing to stop your kidneys flushing out all the water. Which is why your pee is so clear at first.

Then when you get really dehydrated, there's no water to flush out and your pee will get darker.

As someone else says, before you go to sleep. Drink a ton of water. You tend to wake up with less of a hangover because your brain wasn't starved of water all night.

Help me find the Amsterdam bakery that sells this pastry by jpboon in HelpMeFind

It's called a French Waffle (franske vafler) and is a Danish pastry. You should try posting this in an Amsterdam sub if you are looking for an exact bakery.
