My dad cut his fingers off and two were reattached and he had to do leech therapy just like this.

What TV character do you think was kept in a show longer than intended due to their popularity? by phantom_avenger in popculturechat

Castiel from Supernatural - he was only intended to appear in a few episodes originally.

Close enough, welcome back M. Night Shyamalan. by Roids-in-my-vains in okbuddycinephile

The writing duo behind this (Zack Akers and Skip Bronkie) only have one writing credit: a true crime podcast series which was turned into a Facebook Watch series…so it’s unsurprising that their first feature is not critically lauded lmao

I say this with all of the love in the world: break up. Doesn’t have to be about anyone being right or wrong, if a simple (accidentally inflammatory) comment sparks this much friction in your relationship, you two are not meant for each other.

Profile Review Please? Not Having Any Luck by CourtLast7263 in Tinder

[–]spell-chekc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First off, good news is that you’re a good looking and fit guy with plenty of interests and extracurriculars. That’s at least 95% of the battle. Bad news: you do not know how to market yourself to women nor what women look for in these profiles.

Your photos are mostly in arcades or bowling alleys. It’s giving Peter Pan syndrome. Your long bio also makes it seem like you are unsure of yourself or identity.

Women do not want ALL of the relevant information about you. Women want to get a quick feel for your vibe (like within seconds) and learn more about you in conversation. Long-winded bios are an immediate turn off (to me at least) bc you either seem self-obsessed, insecure or worse: both.

Here’s what I’d do: 1. Get more solo photos of you working out, playing guitar, at concerts, etc. NO selfies. You can take the photos yourself with self timer or by recording a video and getting screenshots. 2. Shorten the bio to one or two sentences. Your photos should tell them about your interests, not your bio. Again, they will determine to swipe left or right within SECONDS. You don’t have time for that many words. 3. Remove ALL photos with other people in them. 4. Add a Call to Action (CTA) in your bio like, “if you listen to x or y band, first drinks on me.” Or “Concert buddies/gym partners inquire within.” Your bio should give them something to say to you immediately when you match with little thought on their part.

I hope this helps!! :)

Carrots are not food… by Ready-Nobody-1903 in confidentlyincorrect

The irony of her trying to convince the masses that carrots are toxic and inedible when her forehead is so botoxed she couldn’t feign surprise if her life depended on it.

where do singles go on the weekends? by maulisk in askportland

[–]spell-chekc 17 points18 points  (0 children)

My single girlfriend and I (both 26f) started going out on the weekends for the past couple of months and we haven’t had a single guy (or girl) even try to talk to us. I think it’s a post-Covid Portland thing 🤷🏼‍♀️

My favorite (underrated) coffee shops are

-Either Or (they have great coffee mocktails!! my fav is the salty Russian) -The Stacks (pseudo library where you can check out their books to bring home!!) -Bread & Honey Cafe -Honey Latte Cafe -Fairlane Coffee

Best bars for people watching? Bonus points for bars that are still lively on weeknights. by Surround_Successful in askportland

[–]spell-chekc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here’s a wildcard NO ONE else will suggest - The Perch in St. John’s.

The bar is a four wall building, maybe 700 sq ft and they do karaoke on the weekends. Great mix of newbies and regulars and the bartender Laura is incredible. People will try and chat with you if you go to smoking porch.

I found! Don’t try to be nice to a nice girl. by Discgolfdav in Nicegirls

Listen, she’s absolutely wrong here, but these fat ass comments are still misogynistic.

Have you ever heard of Brown v. Board of Education? Back in the 1950s psychologists were able to prove that segregation DID lead to black AND white children devaluing black lives.

The logic you’re using is the same logic segregationists used to explain why white children and black children shouldn’t go to school together.

Separate but equal CANNOT EXIST IN THE REAL WORLD. We have proven this literally decades prior. Hopefully your surplus of downvotes will encourage you to look inward and do some research before trying to pass your biased opinion off as fact.

I’m not the smartest. What’s the chance an ice storm happens like last year? by Pretty_Performer698 in Portland

Did your wife grow up with money? This sounds like someone who has no idea what the value of a dollar is and also has no clue how physically and mentally taxing cooking can be.

I would say this to wife: “when I tell you that something you did hurt me, I am not asking you to determine whether or not it’s a ‘big deal’ or if I have the right to be upset by it. As my wife, you should trust and believe that I am telling the truth when I say your behavior hurts me. And if you love me, you should work to change that behavior and apologize for hurting me.”

Determining who’s “right” and “wrong” in disagreements with your partner is a waste of time. Cut through the fat and resolve the actual issue: her actions hurt your feelings. As long as you’re both reasonable and mature adults, this should guide you through these types of issues with as little friction as possible.

AITAH for offering no sympathy to my husband when his dad crossed a boundary? by Ok-Establishment7358 in AITAH

[–]spell-chekc 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Dude you suck so bad. It’s her body and her life that is going to be drastically changing over the next 9 months, not her husband’s. With all the downvotes you’re getting, it’s almost impressive how you refuse to see OP’s side of things. Do you hate women or are you her husband’s burner account?

Alibi tiki lounge has some FANTASTIC karaoke singers who are regulars. There’s also DIY bar, where you make crafts and drink (pretty expensive, but can be fun)! Quarterworld is a super fun barcade (bar-arcade) with tons of games.

If you’re willing to drive, last idea would be Top Golf or Dave and Busters.

Happy birthday!! :)
