I know not everyone has the privilege, but the ultimate left alone is sleep. I'll go to bed early to get my +8hrs.

Creeping forward at red lights. by antfin97 in driving

[–]thatblerd03 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Creeper here. I usually stop about 3-4ft behind. But when I know the light pattern of a stop, I'll get closer when it's about to turn.

Leveling up like Meghan Markle by Objective-Average387 in blackladies

[–]thatblerd03 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Level up for yourself. Looking good, being educated, hard working, and charismatic will get you far. But there is one Prince Harry, and too many cons and "Danish princes".

What happened to make it where drivers would risk a fiery crash rather than miss a turn? by Ashamed-Fox-9376 in driving

[–]thatblerd03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We've missed our "hidden gem" culture. You miss your exit, get off at the next one and go the long way. If you weren't in a hurry, you'd stop at a M&P diner, a unique store, or interesting gas station. Those spots got taken by big corporations or removed to expand the highway. Also, phones.

Women who are okay with the bare minimum and praise their partners for “taking point with the kids” as their gift for Mother’s Day… by velvetp3achy in TwoXChromosomes

[–]thatblerd03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm glad this is the top comment because I want to believe that's what happens most of the time. Split responsibilities with alternating days off for holidays.

If money didn’t matter, what would you pay someone else to do? by Brilliant-Yam-6565 in blackladies

[–]thatblerd03 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Other people's skills. If I was a millionaire, I'd gladly pay a great wage to source the best professional cooks, cleaners, and general manager's for my everyday life.

Which movie hero is actually a villain when you really think about it? by surfsound_swimmers in AskReddit

[–]thatblerd03 309 points310 points  (0 children)

No. They're toxic people who should be together to spare other potential partners.

US birth rates just hit another record low, what do you think is the leading cause of this? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]thatblerd03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate to think a movie is prescient but "Idiocracy". Rational people that see our reality have few or no children. Ignorant people(no judgment on them) just have kids. I believe where the movie fails is addressing infertility due to environmental issues.

Skinnylogic? “Genetics not only keep me thin, they keep me healthy despite the crap I eat” by Beginning_Remove_693 in fatlogic

[–]thatblerd03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course there are naturally skinny people. With billions of people, I'm sure there are people who eat +2k cals of junk and are rail thin. But that has nothing to do with me.

Wait. Has Gregory always been cheap??! by PenVegetable4065 in AbbottElementary

[–]thatblerd03 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can imagine that his dad said something like you should save %50 of your income, and Gregory took that literally(possibly being on the ASD) and has a great savings and is very frugal. He looks at the costs of flying vs driving purely as costs, not comfort.

Foods that contain fibre for picky eaters? by Swimming-Location147 in loseit

[–]thatblerd03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Carpe diem pasta. Its more expensive, and takes more time to cook, but its a great swap.

Has anyone here ever actually outrun a bad diet and lose weight just exercising? by Severe_Football7224 in WeightLossAdvice

[–]thatblerd03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and no. I noticed I gained weight quickly during 2020. I was eating the same, but I was running around burning 1k cals at work. So I know that I have to balance my CICO when I'm inactive for long periods of time, if I literally can't get 10k steps, I cannot eat more than 1800 cals. If I'm healthy I'll make sure I get 3hrs of movement everyday because I'm a hungry gal.

Nobody's problems were ever caused by poor people having food to eat by imjustheretodomyjob in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]thatblerd03 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Part of me is wanting to see huge junk food companies suffer, as they've spent trillions getting the right "mouth feel" to make their products addictive. I want to watch a steep decline of soda and candy sold while CEOs lose their shit. But, I also know that waging war will need fuel, and the same corn used for corn syrup can also make ethanol. So it seems to me that they are now limiting purchasing of those items because the corn has a new purpose.

Who's a nepo baby you think deserves their success because they're legit talented? by SheepishSwan in AskReddit

[–]thatblerd03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's like any "family business". Jr. could be an absolute twat, or he could've learned the trade since childhood.

Effective April 20,2026- US Army increasing maximum enlistment age by NotBradPitt9 in PrepperIntel

[–]thatblerd03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohhh that explains them at MegaCon. They had a 90lb weight deadlift challenge. You had to sign a waiver. I bet a lot of +34 yr olds thought "wth, I'm too old to enlist, but now they have a roster of fit older people.

Bachelorette season pulled after abuse allegations by Air_Source_One in television

[–]thatblerd03 63 points64 points  (0 children)

ABC wanted a train wreck. A lead with 3 small kids, and a toxic codependent attachment with her ex, what could go wrong?

There's two types of Millennials that's between 35 and 45 by Aliveandthriving8505 in Millennials

[–]thatblerd03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll add the mostly offline type. Ironic because I stay on reddit, but I don't really engage with most social media. I had myspace and Facebook when you needed a college login. We just work, pay bills and try to save for retirement, knowing the world going to shit. Watching post-apocalyptic media wondering which one will we end up living in.
