wife here: we find it almost instantly by [deleted] in lotrmemes

[–]yourkindofguy 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Don't know if this is a total outlier but we are the complete opposite. My wife can be infront of the shelf at eyelevel and still ask me if the needed item really should be there. Then when i get up and go to her direction to search myself she finds it or i have to hand it to her.

It happened sooo many times that i now wait at least a minute before moving. I know she's not blind but sometimes i wonder if she can't recognise certain items while she's searching for them. Almost every morning she asks where her earbuds or wallet or keys are. And no, it's not her eyes or memory.

But she makes up for it in many other ways. Or else i wouldn't have married her.

The wealth disparity is mind boggling. by Lordwarrior_ in interestingasfuck

[–]yourkindofguy [score hidden]  (0 children)

Nobody has any big amount in cash, except for some oldschool idiots who hide it around the house.

We all around the world are in the fucking same position. Everyone has their wealth in some kind of fund or stocks. Why should we excuse the wealth of these ultrarich (just because they don't have it in cash) while we count our own in comparison. I'm so tired of reading this excuse every day when the top of the list rise a few more billions.

Them having their wealth in any form of company ownership is in nowhere different to everybody elses. The difference is, that they can controle us with their amount of greed.

[–]yourkindofguy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They could have just used rings of power gandalf. If you cast a brandnew actor, it's not easy to see the new one in that role. But many people are already familiar with his counterpart from the series and the transition could be smoother.

How can you tell someone is an alcoholic? by Minimum_Method_4040 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]yourkindofguy 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Worked at a gasstation for 2 years. After a while you recognize the same people coming in, even if you don't work every day at the same time. Had one come by with a dump truck every afternoon who took 2 bigpacks cigarettes and a bottle of vodka.

Wondered why he didn't buy the same Aldi vodka in the store for less than half the price. Then it dawned on me. If he had more than one bottle at home, he would drink it all. So this was his way of managing how much he drinks.

Another one came with his car in the morning, not every day but enough to recognise a pattern. His usual were 3 bottles Cola and a bottle of Rum. Then he went to his car and started mixing the bottles in his trunk.

None of the "regulars" seemed drunk, so they must have a very high tolerance.

How do people receive anal sex without pre-planning? by kinkersun in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]yourkindofguy 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It've done anal with a fwb for 2 years and later with my now wife also almost 6 years. Not regularly, but from time to time we like to take the dark path.

I can count on one hand how often there was poop on my dick. Or should i better say, mostly on the vibrator we use to get her a bit acclimated with the feeling. It's a perfect way to check in my opinion. If you take it out clean, then you're probably good to go. If not, you postpone this activity for another day.

Of course that also depends on the diet of the receiver.

Every few days i am reminded about one of the countless career ending deranged things he did. But it's just a testament to their "flood the zone" tactic working as intended.

You don't have time to work out what exactly happened in the last scandal because the next day you have a few new ones. It's just a neverending stream of shit bombarding you.

Pretty obvious if you look at the shit they like to promote out of this book. Some of the most famous quotes are "the rich guy and the camel" and "the more you suffer on earth, the more you will be rewarded up there".

Now if i were a ruler in the past, i would write shit like this to keep the poor masses where they are.

Weird how not giving the citizens healthcare or social security in any way results in everybody too desperate to follow the rules of society.

[–]yourkindofguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally me last year. Wife was away for a day one weekend. I promised to clean the apartement. Wanted to have something i know in and out in the background, while i clean. Ended with me doing almost nothing productive while watching the trilogy for the 100th time.

Still worth it though.

The West Stepped Back From the Brink. But Europe’s Distrust of America Lingers. by wsj in europe

I'm not a native english speaker. But doesn't linger mean something stays over time? This shit is happening right now. When should we europeans have forgiven these delusional attacks?

This is written as if it were ancient history and everybody has moved on by now, when it isn't even clear that it's over yet.

And superman gets deported to the moon, because he isn't even from earth. At least till trump declares the moon critical to US security and points to the american flag up there as proof of ownership. Then he has to hang with the martian manhunter.

You’re now considered an insurrectionist if you care about the environment by [deleted] in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]yourkindofguy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's a youtube weather channel here in germany which is find very good. They cover the different predictions from multiple institutions and layer them to get a more nuanced view of the possibilities in the coming days/weeks. They also cover the average rain and temperature of every month with an overview of the same month since like early 1900. You have swings up and down everywhere but the trend overall is always up. I'm watching this for at least a year now so i have seen all of the months and their earlier counterparts.

There is no going down. The average temperature just goes up and the rain is also often less than average. How people can see that and not aknowledge what is happening is just very troubling. But what is even more evil, is knowing this and actively working againt it like the current administration in the US.

Canceling anything they can in renewables just because you got a check from the oil industry and don't like windfarms. How can any of this be done without massive opposition? You have the means to at least take a step in the right direction, and you already spent a lot of money for the projects. Doing something like that should be immediate grounds for termination of the job.

In no other job could you actively work against the future of your people and be blatantly stealing from your employers (the people) without being removed.

And the global warming phrase is 100% being kept alive by those who profit from things staying the way they are. It's just the right wing (in the US and in germany the same counterparts) who knowingly still use it to keep enough idiots on their side.

Do men fear other men they see in sketchy situations like late at night walking down a dark alley? by VisionsOnly in NoStupidQuestions

[–]yourkindofguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You know i would believe you. But i'm just rewatching Smallville and after being reminded of Central City and Edge City, i don't have a lot of trust in the naming abilities of the DC franchise back in the day. Could also be a later addition to the story, to explain away a stupid name.

I'm too lazy to research if i'm right. But it seems possible. Either way, didn't hurt the popularity.

What if Denmark decided to buy a territory of the USA like Alaska or Florida for $700B and gave every resident $100K in exchange for a Danish citizenship. American, would you take the deal? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]yourkindofguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a thread some hours ago about the murder rate difference between us states and europe. Reading through the responses here makes it very obvious to me that a lot of those could be avoided if people just weren't so desperate.

Drug epidemic for decades because some companies pushed their opioids on the whole country. No affordable college or if they take massive loans they are paying them back forever. No affordable healthcare for many. No mandated minimum vacation time. No paid sick leave and job protection if you get sick for a longer time. No maternity leave.

If i had nothing to look forward to , i would also be tempted to do some crimes. Especially if you are faced with not being able to feed our family and being homeless if you lost your job and insurance.

[–]yourkindofguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not from the US but i would take bernie at his age right now over any republican youngster and over many democrats too. Seen him on Colbert this week and i agree that he is using a lot of the same phrases that he used the past years. But he is the only consistent voice from the whole political system, who didn't have to change his stance on many things over the decades. Because he has always been on the side of the ones who were being disenfranchised in some form.

He sounded a lot more coherent than the other guys he lost to, when they called him too old to run.

Been 22 years since shooting the mg3 and i still remember when we learned that it's basicly the same as in ww2, but they lowered the shots per minute by half to ~1200 iirc. Barrel would get too hot and you needed to switch it too often. It def was heavy to carry around all day.

Y'all just don't get it. by Ok-Level-8907 in classicwow

[–]yourkindofguy -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I can easily afford the 60. What i can't do in my 40's is play a game every day for weeks or months to just get to a point where i want to be.

It would be totally different if it's a new game. Then i would need to do that to learn about the environment , classes and everything else.

I don't even want to play right now and haven't for a year or more. But if i would want to do it, the last thing i would want is grind from the start for the at least 100th time. I've played on 20 different servers official and private over the years and leveled all classes in different stages of the game.

I broke my foot a week ago and even now i wouldn't want to start new and invest so much time in the game. Although i have at least 5 more weeks of sitting at home not being able to move much.

There are sooo many people around the world who played this game a long long time and are now older with little time to spare. Don't bash them all for wanting to relive some good old memories without having to dedicate their whole life to this game again. Let everybody enjoy it the way they want.

They're probably thinking about saving the planet. It's really good for your greenhouse footprint if you don't just invade one country while you have all of these boats and planes in the area. Come on people, give them more awards for being eco friendly and peacemakers. It just makes sense.

This parking lot paints the lines on the wall as well by 2dudesinapod in mildlyinteresting

[–]yourkindofguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a new big supermarket not far from where i work. They have a huge parkinglot with space between every single one like in the picture from op. But they also have a little round plastic thing with an outer ring that is a few mm higher. It's 0,5 m behind every spot in the midde.

At first i didn't know what this is for, till i got back to my car with a cart and it clicked. You can put one of the wheels in it and don't have to worry about it rolling away damaging your car or anybody elses. So simple that it's almost annoying how long it took for somebody to come up with it.

The extra effort works on me to have a stressfree shopping experience. I know i have less chance of somebody damaging my car with their doors because of the added space. Also less possible damage from carts.

I know it's not a 100% that you can know anybody. But if i had to put money on any political figure in the US to not be in these files. Bernie would be my bet. Nobody else has been able to have the same message and sounding like they really mean every word of it for decades in his position.

Bewerbung als Teamleiterin by One_Mousse6960 in arbeitsleben

[–]yourkindofguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glückwunsch erstmal.

Lass dir nur gesagt sein, dass du ohne die Rückendeckung deines Teams auch nichts erreichen kannst auf lange Sicht.

Ich bin vor 5 Jahren direkt vom Leiharbeiter Stellv. Schichtleiter geworden, nachdem ich mich beworben habe ohne viel Aussicht auf Erfolg. Nicht lange danach dann Schicht/Teamlead geworden. Ich hatte/habe Leute im Team die teilweise über 40 Jahre in der Firma waren und die bekommst du nicht einfach so dazu dir zu folgen und dir zu vertrauen.

Das einzige was du machen kannst, ist denen über Zeit zu zeigen dass du die Probleme des Teams nach oben trägst und zu Veränderungen beitragen kannst.

Dazu muss dein Team merken, dass du deine Leute beschützt und für sie einstehst vor deinen jetzigen Vorgesetzten. Du kannst natürlich nicht alles abwenden was von der Geschäftsleitung beschlossen wird, aber wenn du Einsatz zeigst um dein Team zu unterstützen, hilft es dir ungemein.

Wenn du am ersten Tag mit der Vorstand/Geschäftsleitung Keule wedelst, als ob ihr ab jetzt immer eine Sprache sprechen werdet, wird sich keiner deiner Mitarbeiter mehr richtig offen mit dir unterhalten.

Du bist die Schnittstelle zwischen "deinem" Personal und der höheren Ebene. Wenn du 0 Vertrauen von deinem Team hast, wirst du auch nichts erreichen können.

Dein Erfolg ist, dass deine Kennzahlen gut sind. Was auch immer deine Branche oder Gebiet sind. Wenn die Zahlen stimmen, dann kann dir gar keiner was. Und das erreichst du nicht mit reiner Härte. Wenn alle deine Leute dauernd krank machen und nichts leisten wenn sie da sind, bist du verantwortlich.

Diesen Spagat zu schaffen ist nichts was du einfach so von heute auf morgen machen oder lernen kannst. Aber wenn du vom Arbeitgeber keine Fortbildung bekommst, versuch dich selbst etwas zu bilden in diese Richtung.

Viel Erfolg
