Reply to comment by Fauropitotto in TIFU buy pulling my eyes at the asian waitress by Independent-Yak9490
OP back at the restaurant at closing and catches the waitress leaving: “Hi, this is awkward, but I wanted to apologize if what I did earlier in the night upset you. I’ve been studying a lot lately and my eyes, uhh, oh no, my eyes, they, crap (starts pulling on eyes while bowing over in pain and letting out high pitch kung fu-like noises of relief) Where are you going? No, I’m not trying to do anything offensive! I swear! You don’t have to run away…”

Reply to TIFU My fiance[38m] posting on reddit and getting destroyed made me [28f] realize I’ve been with a psychopath by marriedtoapsychopath
I mean, I understand why he got dragged, but it wasn’t because he’s a psycho. He obviously loves you OP, and that made him make two horrible decisions:
-
He stayed the relationship when you asked for an open emotional and physical relationship with one specific person who was and still is (assuming Christina is the “friend” who pointed you to his post) a threat to your relationship with him.
-
Doing something spiteful to you because he was hurt that you chose someone else.
But you made an equally horrible decision by not breaking up with him when you found out what he did. You too doubled down on a bad hand and decided to stay with him, and now you two have a child on the way.
My advice is to get individual therapy, and ask him to get couples therapy, to be able to functionally coparent the kid at least, and secondarily to figure out if you two can salvage a healthy romantic relationship (he also has lingering issues about what you want).

Thank god. Those 70s era technology delivery vehicles don’t even meet todays emission standards. Simply moving to a modern small SUV would help a lot. Given the predictable daily usage, stop-and-go way these things are driven, electric is a perfect solution.

Reply to How realistic is “The future of” on Netflix? by alakeya
Like most of the popular posts in this sub, it really boils down to your definition of “realistic”. Like, there’s a huge difference between theoretically realistic or scientifically realistic vs economically realistic or politically realistic. The concepts you list seem realistic from a scientific standpoint. Will they be viable in a real world scenario? Possibly, but that question is so much harder to answer.

Eh, that’s pretty anecdotal, and there were genetic freaks before. Nolan Ryan and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar both had long, highly productive careers. I’m not saying sports medical science hasn’t improved a lot, but it’s not like there simply weren’t late 30s or early 40s people competing at a high level. I suppose you could argue that the games are more competitive these days, and that if not for medical improvements, people would otherwise have had to retire earlier.

I’m not a skateboarder (probably due to growing up in the middle of nowhere with a mile of dirt road to the nearest pavement, which is a highway, and many more miles before reaching anything resembling an actual sidewalk), but my expert opinion is that this move is pretty damn cool.
