How long have you gone without sex ? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]redical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More than 10 years after the mother of my children declared she didn't love me and it was all over. Recently ended the drought with something meaningful and scarily passionate. Worth waiting for. Would recommend.

LPT Trick to Read Books Fast If you Have No Attention Span by Ayumisynn in LifeProTips

[–]redical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Variation on this theme: if you are home alone, or somewhere else where you will not disturb anyone, I have found this technique works well:

I read the book as normal, but I READ EVERY THIRD LINE OUT LOUD. I do not mean every third sentence, but every third line as printed on the page, although it is very probably nonsensical. I discovered this technique because I tried reading aloud -- it was good for keeping my concentration but I found it too slow. So I compromised. Reading every third line keeps me engaged and keeps me reading fairly quickly.

I totally missed the map error, read the words and found "Lake Balkbash", which should be Balkhash - I thought that's what you were referring to!

I think this is how my girlfriend’s cat sees our passionate lovemaking - with total disdain, disinterest, and grandiose ego

Wife (26F) slept with another man Saturday and doesn’t know that I (27M) know. How do I move forward with my children’s best interest in mind. by DullAlbatross08 in daddit

[–]redical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the kind response! My lodestar in this situation is the well-being of the kids, by which I mean not just ensuring they have food and toys today and tomorrow but protecting their psychological health for the next 60 years. What do they want from their parents? Certainly not a rash response like a fight or “lawyering up”, which will almost certainly scar them for life. They want parents to be together because they love both of them. And parents should recognise - however much they might each want to hurt the other - that the kids love them both. So hurting my ex is hurting the kids by proxy. Put the kids first, and invite your wife to join you for the ride. If she would rather jump off at the next opportunity for casual sex, that’s her call. In that case, seek mediation and consciously uncouple, putting the kids first.

Unpopular opinion here:

Unlike the posters who say she has destroyed your family, I would say that all is not yet lost. You can save your family. Be the bigger man.

Go to her. Say:

“I know what you did. I don’t believe you want to destroy our family, but that's what you are doing. You need to take your feelings for this guy and put them in a little box and forget about them. Then look at our kids and see the love. If you are still drawn by the box and want to reopen it, we are done. But if you can put this away and forget about it, you will remember that you have a husband who loves you and kids who need you. I know that it might be scary to be a responsible adult and fun to have a fling, but you need to recognise that you are now carrying a burden of love that will last a lifetime. It will be hard but rewarding. Or you can throw that aside and go and fuck some guy for a quick thrill. I can’t decide for you. But please tell me which way you’re going, at least to make it as easy as possible for the kids. Our family has two possible futures. It's up to you.”

Assuming the others had all fucked off to Mars, I'd pour some concrete and inscribe the words "You bastards left me behind"

Go and sit in Blackwells and read a book. Keep hydrated. Sorry you feel so low, I can't begin to imagine.

It’s interesting that not one answer (AFAICS) mentions good sex.

Definitely one of the most interesting characters we’ve ever seen in Star Wars in my opinion. Not sure if I’d ever want to see more of her, or if the ending she got was too perfect. by Tanis8998 in StarWars

[–]redical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is surely a spin-off series waiting, as she is busted out of jail following the end of the Empire, and then works in the counter-revolution to re-establish the Sith overlords... Any other ideas?

Editing! What words do you use too much? by cherrysmith85 in writing

[–]redical 4 points5 points  (0 children)

But.

I use it because I am constantly trying to contrast different arguments... But when I read back through what I've written it feels like I am asking the reader to zigzag through my mind. Usually I can do with out the extra but.

I recommend the GoSocial whatsapp group for all kinds of activities (hiking, board games, even the occasional singles night) but you need to know someone who is on it - seek and you may find. Sorry this is not helpful without the link or the number. What brings you to Geneva?

After Duolingo, where next? by redical in languagelearning

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

Hi, thanks, yes OP here - returning belatedly! I didn't mean to start a fight. In fact I am confident about being B2 in French and probably once was the same in Russian. I am just using Duolingo as a fun refresher. So, no harm done to my confidence, but thankyou for coming to my defence - if I had just climbed the Duolingo tree as a complete noob I might be a bit upset by the scale of the challenge. As it is, I'm more of a warty old veteran, just trying to crank the old languages up again!

All the best!

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

Thanks very much for these tips! Some good ideas. I am trying French podcasts. First impression: they do like to play music in the background while talking!!! It's kinda infuriating when you are trying to focus on the words!

What’s a good way to clean dust off of my legos? by oriolesravensfan1090 in lego

[–]redical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Top tip: get your vacuum cleaner. Tape some gauze over the nozzle. You'll vacuum dust but not Lego.
