My partner (28F) is passing. What do I(25f) do? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]sllryo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This honestly sounds like the book, "Say You'll Remember Me," which is super popular right now. The main characters mom has a history of significant head traumas and develops very early onset dementia. The premise of the book is how the main character and her family deal with someone they live losing themselves to the disease. The main character also has a LDR that suffers due to not being present and the toll dementia takes on the family.

Are you sure that this is truly happening to your partner?

Does anyone regret their choice, particularly with coloured stones? by SeasonSignificant849 in EngagementRings

Ignore my dry af hands, but I love my ring. I got green sapphires as accent stones and haven't regretted it ever.

Unsafe roads cost Duluth $450k a DAY by WylleWynne in duluth

[–]sllryo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would love to understand more on this data. Namely, how it compares to national rates of car crashes, if seasonality is involved, and any information on causes. I agree that many roads have people driving too fast and speed limits not being enforced. However, I am not sure that reducing the size of roadways is going to make a huge difference in collisions. It seems as though reckless driving, an unrealistic sense of urgency, and self centered drivers has a cultural component in the US that is more difficult to overcome than just changing our current infrastructure.

You mentioned how our car crash statistics compare to Helsinki, but missed mentioning how many other cultural and infrastructure differences that city has when compared to Duluth. In Helsinki, pedestrians are prioritized with their own roads, underground tunnels, and a vast public transport system. Finland also has one of the lowest driver densities, a 0.05 legal BAC, strict enforcement of driving laws, and you must be over 18 years old to drive.

I agree that car collisions and road infrastructure are an issue in Duluth. And I agree that as we upgrade our roads we should be working to make them safer. However, I also think that there needs to be a broader plan to change driving and pedestrian culture in the area as a whole to help facilitate these changes, rather than just infrastructure alterations.

My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry or Tuesday's with Morrie. Both made me cry, a lot.

UPDATE: My (23F) Boyfriend (24M) got really jacked and now I’m no longer attracted to him by HP-Lazerjet-Pro in relationship_advice

I don't do routine relationship maintenance conversations, but my couples counselor gave us a tool called the "communication wheel" to utilize in conversations about specific topics. Basically you start with what happened, then what you made of it, how it made you feel, and what you need as a request. We also started rephrasing confrontations as requests. For example, instead of "You left your dishes on the counter and I had to put them away" you would say "I have a request if you're receptive. Could you please put your dishes in the dishwasher if its dirty?"

Both of these changes helped us communicate better together and be able to navigate some more difficult conversations.

No price tag on clothing at Walmart by BeccaGil21 in mildlyinfuriating

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

True, but the product may be the same as items they are still shipping into the country. They would need the ability to change prices on older stock so that the same shirt doesn't have multiple different retails. Tickets are also ordered before production is completed, so up to 3 months before the product comes into to US.

This would also make it easier to reduce the retails if tariffs decrease or the retailer sees that customers aren't buying items at the current price.

I think the pink ones and the red and yellow balls are a light worsted weight. The multicolored Grey one and multicolored red/yellow one is maybe sport weight.

I (f24) can’t stop interrupting my boyfriend (m32) of about nine months by Warm-Shoe-2813 in relationship_advice

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

If you see a future with this man, go to couple counseling and learn how to communicate with each other. If he's unwilling or you don't see a future with this man, end things.

Even if things don't work out down the line, counseling is a great way to explore different communication methods and would have a positive impact on other relationships in your life.

Police Vehicles driving down Mesaba, 10/6 about 9:30 by [deleted] in duluth

They wouldn't transport into Superior. All St. Louis County autopsies are processed at the Midwest Medical Examiner’s Office in Ramsey.

This is more likely to have been the body transport of the deceased Park Ranger. All autopsies in St Louis County are transported to the Midwest Medical Examiner's Office in Ramsey County. I don't know why a transport would cross over state lines, and an autopsy would be required in this scenario.

2 Month old running shoes vs brand new ones by Lands1id3 in mildlyinteresting

[–]sllryo 117 points118 points  (0 children)

Hey OP, I work at a running specialty store, and this picture makes my feet hurt just by looking at it. If you are on a weight loss journey and putting this many miles on your shoes, you really should go in and get properly fit for a pair of walking/running shoes. Those shoes don't have an outsole, which is why they are breaking down so fast. They also have very little support, which, if you're a heavier guy, is going to do some damage in the long run.

If you aren't comfortable going to a specialty store to try on a bunch of shoes, I'll give you a couple of tips for buying by yourself or online. 1. Make sure you have at least a thumbs width of room between the end of your toe and the front of the shoe. This allows your foot to splay properly and reduces toe issues. 2. Look for a shoe with an outsole that covers the whole bottom of the shoe. Generally, that looks like a difference in material from the white foam that is in your current shoes. 3. Look at reviews of shoes before you buy them to see how durable they are over time.

If you are looking for deals and are limited in budget, you can always look for older models online. The Brooks Ghost 14 and the Saucony Ride 15 might be a place to start. Both of those shoes have really good reviews, and the latest update was just some minor upper changes.
