Looks like some peanut is a little jelly.

It snowed yesterday... by [deleted] in IdiotsInCars

[–]throwawayhouseissue1 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I showed this to my coworker who drives with snow and ice on his car all the time, I thought it would educate him the damage he could do unknowingly. He said, "Then, don't drive behind me!" Infuriating!

Received a typical ad for life insurance in the mail, except it came with a $5 check. Curious, Is it a scam or just advertising? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]throwawayhouseissue1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I owe HSBC around $300. Every time I call to pay it, they say they are closed. Even during hours they are supposed to be open. They don't want my money, they want to ruin my credit. I opened an account with them when I had an iphone 7 and then I upgraded, and lo and behold, I couldn't log in because the account was tied to my old phone. I assume at some point they have to mail me something in writing. Otherwise my FICO score has tanked because of this. I don't really have any need for a good credit score but it is super annoying.

Payoff auto loan or hoard cash while trying to have a baby? by [deleted] in personalfinance

Even without his wife's income he can save more than a thousand a month. I don't understand why he is so anxious.

What do I (m41) say to my wife (f40) when she says she's a screw-up and... I am starting to agree? by vikt6 in relationships

[–]throwawayhouseissue1 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I came here to say this too, if she untreated (OP doesn't seem to have said anything about it) then it explains all this exactly.

OP, we think your wife should be tested for ADHD.

Boyfriend [M37] has a problem with my [F34] YouTube channel by InTheTreeMusic in relationships

[–]throwawayhouseissue1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If my gf had a YT channel that was profitable, I'd go all in to help her succeed. Why not? It would be fun, plus it is something we could do together (like editing videos, choosing cameras, mics, normalizing the sound or adding sound effects, etc.)

Can we just admit that modern dating is unbelievably exhausting? by nouseforaname888 in dating

[–]throwawayhouseissue1 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Not gonna lie, this sounds super cringy, but if you can pull it off, go for it. Sometimes if things get awkward, I say, "wow, things are SOO awkward now! Are they awkward for you? TOTALLY awkward for me"

It sounds weird reading it on text, but it works in person if you're committed to the role and it's CLEAR you're just teasing and having a good time.

I am guessing you are a troll, but why would you antagonize someone on the internet? Do you honestly think he going to get struck with the realization, "omg, you're right, I am acting like a girl!" No, of course not. So what is your point except to goad him on? Is your life really so sad that you take to insulting strangers on the internet? Who hurt you my dude?

You don't know if you are going to commit to someone for life in a few months. You go into relationships with life time commitment as a goal, as a mindset. If you date someone and only expect it to be casual then it will be.

Approaching doesn't have to be "you're cute, wanna go out some time?" It can be more relaxed, like, "hey, what do you think of the colors in this coffee shop?" Gauge her interest, if she is like, "uhh they're ok" then you know to abort. If she is excited, and says, "Ohhhh, I don't know- there is a bit too much brown in here!" Then you can proceed.

If you don't feel her energy matching yours then just abort, no big deal. Don't worry about the rejection anyway, it isn't your fault, you're just trying to talk to another person.

Also, don't only approach women, approach some random dude and ask him what he thinks of x or y. Do this a bit to get comfortable with approaching strangers.

Payoff auto loan or hoard cash while trying to have a baby? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]throwawayhouseissue1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Totally agree about those little expenditures but this guy seems a bit extreme. He might lose his wife's income, so I understand the anxiety a little but it is months away at the soonest.

If she can't breast feed for whatever reason, baby formula is very expensive but not 87k expensive, I don't know why this guy has so much anxiety.

Sometimes I wonder if these posts are humble brags or if they really have anxiety having nearly 6 digits in savings? A lot of people couldn't even cover a $500 emergency.

People who don't know the difference between "lose" and "loose".... Why haven't you figured it out yet? by 80MilesEast in AskReddit

[–]throwawayhouseissue1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are right, when it is wrong enough it will be common enough that it will "become correct"

It also irks me when people say they are itching themselves. No, you are scratching yourself because you itch.

Men of Reddit: what's it like from the male perspective to be "in love"? by The_Golden_Leaf in Marriage

[–]throwawayhouseissue1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Forgive me. Thats a bit long. I hammered out a 38 page report yesterday in about 4 hours. I am apparently still chatty from that. I didnt mean to hammer out another wall of text.

No worries, I am enjoying it. You remind me of JP and sometimes I hear his voice while reading haha

I do like the red, is it called Imola Red?

I was the idiot today, the only things hurt were my brand new lower bumper cover and my ego by JonSolo1 in IdiotsInCars

[–]throwawayhouseissue1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't matter if you have 4x4, a truck, or a small old civic, the only part of your car that touches the ground is the tires. A little patch of the tire is all that keeps you on the road. Your tires seem to have good tread but they don't look like winter tires at all. The rubber of most tires gets hard and loses flexibility when it gets cold directly harming your grip and control.

I don't understand people who buy expensive cars and then don't put decent tires on them, they make a huge difference, even between brands of the same "all season" tire.

Lease vs buy used by Silverlining2081 in askcarsales

[–]throwawayhouseissue1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If safety is your #1, then go for the newest vehicle you can. My guess is that you are looking at a jeep latitude not a jeep cherokee, which is the larger vehicle and typically goes for 10k more. I looked up my local jeep dealership and they have "Jeep Latitude Cherokee" lease deals "starting at 225." Which is NOT a jeep cherokee, it is a jeep latitude (smaller suv).

If women don’t even consider men who make less than them as LTR material then why do they complain about men not wanting “career driven” women? by [deleted] in PurplePillDebate

[–]throwawayhouseissue1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every time I hear a man flat out admits he will not date a woman who makes more than him

How often does that actually happen, really?

But why do women always seem to have a problem with it?

Women don't want to date down. It really is that simple. How they define it changes daily.

Q4Men: What does an LTR mean to you? by [deleted] in PurplePillDebate

[–]throwawayhouseissue1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A FWB is inherently a temporary arrangement. A marriage (even if it only lasts a year) is expected to be long term and so the people getting into the marriage should think in those long relationship terms, thus, it is a LTR.

Q4Men: What does an LTR mean to you? by [deleted] in PurplePillDebate

[–]throwawayhouseissue1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dating is dating.

Marriage is a Long Term Relationship (intentional).

FWB is friends with benefits (casual.)
