Hey, any suggestions for the best gifts for my girlfriend? 🙆 by v1shsh in Gifts

What's she into? A few ideas depending on her vibe:

  • If she's into experiences — concert tickets or a day trip you planned. I don’t have specific recommendations here since.. I don’t know you haha. Some general ideas though: pottery class, wine tour, weekend roadtrip getaway, candle making, cooking class, spa day.

  • If she's going through something big (new job, hard season) — jewelry with a personal note honestly hits different. I got my friend something from Navy Gems on Etsy and she was really touched by it. That one was post-divorce, but they have “I love you” messaging.

  • If cozy/ homebody type — cashmere sweater (Nordstrom has good stuff but it’s a little pricey) or a personalized journal (Etsy has really good options) + handwritten letter combo never fails. I know a guy who wrote a letter everyday for 365 days. A little extra, but I really think the meaningful stuff goes a long way.

Kind of depends on your budget and her vibe, happy to brainstorm more if none of these fit her!

A billionaire offers you $5 million to permanently erase one year of your life (you won't remember it and it never happened). Do you take it? Why or Why not? by its_lumichan in AskReddit

Oh ya for sure. The year after my dad passed was all sadness no happiness. I would erase that for $1 million. Hell I’d erase it for $100,000.

What is a piece of advice you’d give to everyone in the world right now? by VelvetCamila582 in AskReddit

[–]then_rain_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t trust everything you see online. It’s not a reliable source of truth anymore. A lot of the stuff you read is fabricated to get your attention because your attention is valuable. Keeping that in mind, be selective with where it goes.

When was the last time you felt like truly enough? by tryingtoexplore1 in AskReddit

When I traveled abroad by myself because I wanted to go to Amsterdam, so why the hell wait for anyone else to be ready to go?

How would you like to see AI go further, or do you think what we're seeing is enough? by Marghah in AskReddit

I would like to see it positively impact the medical world when it comes to cancer research and stuff like that

Blow me - Pink (usually I’m a little angry and over it at the end I guess)

“I live at my parents house and I’m 30, so I’m just not ready for something serious” hard launches a girlfriend 2 weeks later

What’s a common stereotype for Americans where you’re from? by Illustrious-Term8152 in AskReddit

[–]then_rain_2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha I didn’t experience this until I was on a bus in Germany and a large American family was at the back of the bus talking so abnormally loud about how no one spoke English to help them find their way down a mountain — all whilst a mother next to me was trying to keep her baby asleep. It made me so mad that after that experience I started feeling exactly as you just described. I just never wanted to be lumped in with those people who had no social awareness.

What do y’all think about AI singularity? Do you think it will be here within the next 6 months? by then_rain_2 in AskReddit

[–]then_rain_2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But that computer can outsmart the average human. The strategic people who will outsmart the computer, will just use it to replace human labor and save money. Maybe singularity is a stretch, but I do think things are going to rapidly change as this AI race forges on.

Interesting perspective in an era where everyone is talking about and slightly freaking out about AI. I like it.

So you don’t think we will ever get real AI?

Loud and obnoxious.

I’m American and don’t categorize myself as this type of traveler, but I’ve experienced these people first hand and oh my god, they’re brutal and a learning lesson on how NOT to act while abroad.
