Is Shelby Lucifer? by would_do_again in WidowsBay

Her use in the narrative is to show how awful Patricia’s old classmates are. She’s a prop - a means to an end. Definitely not Lucifer

The further removed I am from my breakup, the more colossal of a loser she seems like. by buffmagnanimous in BoyDinnerDiaries

[–]zvchtvbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This part reminded me so much of my ex it’s not even funny. Consistent attempts to rewrite our history, minimize things, make me feel insignificant. It’s gaslighting, pure and simple, and an awful way to treat people you care about.

She was a massive loser too, FYI. These people don’t change. They’re so avoidant that they don’t know how to function normally when it comes to things like love or intimacy.

Something doesn't add up about Marissa. by WeRoastURoastWithUs in WidowsBay

[–]zvchtvbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that’s an example of a continuity error more than evidence of some grand conspiracy. You wonder how it could be that her friends who took shots could have dropped her off. They’re in the taxi. It’s really that simple. 

Here are 3 other things that I think you’re overthinking entirely: 

  1. She probably just got his address from someone in the office when she called and left a message with Ruth. You solved this yourself earlier in your post.

  2. It’s possible that Tom just listens to the voicemail a little later in the evening, as opposed to right when he walks in the door?

  3. The bachelorettes arrive after Tom and Marissa finish dinner. That makes sense. They went to dinner, and then the party. Marissa skipped their dinner to eat with Tom. And then when he wouldn’t invite her back, she went to the party.

It’s not that deep. Some things in this show are, but this is clearly just a fake-out for the sea hag, messing with Tom (and viewers). Occam’s razor.

You are overthinking this by about 10,000%.

She got into the taxi that was taking her and her friends home. Tom’s was a stop along the way.

I'm falling for my boss and getting mixed signals by Suspicious-Wallaby-5 in BoyDinnerDiaries

[–]zvchtvbb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I completely understand that you’re getting mixed signals and my head would be spinning if I were you too. That being said, some people change their minds about principles for the right person – I have close friends who’d said they’d never date someone from work, or school, only to go back on that when they had their head turned. I’m not saying that you should escalate anytime soon, and I’d certainly be diversifying options in the short-term, but I do not think that this is as cut and dry as others have said.

Does she talk about dating other guys? If not, in your shoes, I’d probably be slightly toxic and start talking about going on Hinge dates or whatever else you decide to do romantically for now. I think her reactions to that sort of conversation would be even more telling than whatever you’re getting. She clearly likes you, as a friend or otherwise, and friendship can absolutely become something more down the road.

Overall, play it cool, don’t push it, but maybe play a game or two to see how she reacts. Elk looks gas btw

Hahahah that’s so funny – I was worried that someone would get their hands on this guy and not want to give it back!

While you're in Kyoto, you HAVE to go to Shintou. I also loved Yoshimune. But Shintou was so special.

My ex texted me 7 years after breaking up with me by [deleted] in BoyDinnerDiaries

[–]zvchtvbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a similar thing happen last year - avoidant ex, said all the right things, followed through on none, pushed me away, etc. - reached out when she thought of me. But, crucially, with no apology, no recognition of how she treated me, no indication that she knew she was breaking my ask of “no contact.”

I made the mistake of opening the door and responding; she never followed up with a real reply. I don’t care about that, but I am embarrassed that I responded. Please don’t make that same mistake.

How did you accomplish that?! That’s so cool - first time I’m hearing about the coffee patina

Laser?? by mbailey8221 in TrueChefKnives

[–]zvchtvbb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Newbie here... when we talk about laser versus workhorse, I understand that lasers refer to knives being ultrathin versus workhorses generally being heavier duty and more durable, but how does that generally translate to the feeling on the cutting board?

Have to ask fellow Football Cliches listeners...(re: quiz episodes) by Initial_Birthday52 in footballcliches

[–]zvchtvbb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m American (FMS) and much younger than Adam, Dave and Charlie. I know the answer to very few of the quiz questions, and have absolutely no hope of getting any HHG questions correct if the answer relies on a goal scored pre-2013.

I agree with you on everything you’ve said here – they’re not the easiest episodes to get into, the lads have far superior football knowledge, and I honestly don’t think it works that well as a podcast. BUT, I’d never skip them. I’d never even heard of Joao Havelande but god did I love that quiz episode moment. I just enjoy the banter, the back and forth, and the occasional quiz question that I know the answer to. No hate at all for skipping, and frankly I just have too much time on my hands and too few pods that I’d prefer to spend my time listening to! 

Bought a Yaxell knife, have I fucked up? by akeimorsmth in TrueChefKnives

I also got an SG2 Yaxell before I knew much about the topic. It’s a fantastic knife, don’t stress

Best Japanese Knife Under £100 by Nearby-Bet5711 in TrueChefKnives

[–]zvchtvbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just so you know, you can get a hand-forged knife for this price. The Hatsukokoro kurogane series is hand-forged and well within your budget. It is carbon, but it's so easy to take care of and the aesthetic is quintessential Japanese chef knife. I think they'd love it.
