  • What would you think of a 48/49/50 year old married man with kids(including a 19/20yr old daughter) and grandkids blatantly and consistently flirting with women in their early-mid 20's

    Jump

  • There's a rule... there's a reason it's a rule...

    Half plus seven.

    I didn't come up with it, but it seems to work out pretty good across the board, and it's known by most men that I've talked to.

    48-50 works out to 31-32, MINIMUM acceptable age.

    Anything younger is officially creepy.

  • Hazardous substances found in all headphones tested by ToxFREE project

    Jump

  • Noted. Will refrain from eating my headphones.

    More seriously though, yeah, "can be absorbed through the skin", fine, but at what levels? Like, seriously ... we're not talking about things we consume or things we put stuff into that we consume (i.e. BPA in a water bottle). I get it, strive for perfect and keep this crap out of our environments entirely, but this is really coming off as sensationalist clickbait to me compared to say, a study that shows people who use these products have confirmed higher incidences of cancer or something more substantial like that.

  • Yet another Trump ambassador doesn't know how to behave.

    Jump

  • But they do know how to behave - they behave like the person they represent - that is, I assume, why he appointed them, so they can represent him internationally, and do and say exactly the things he would, or that are in line with his views. They are functioning exactly as intended as far as I'm concerned.

  • How can I remain professional toward this female colleague I feel wants something romantic with me when I don't?

    Jump

  • Yeah I've seen it go both ways before. Ideally they just send out some blanket memo "reminding people of our policy on $x" and everyone who may be doing something even a little questionable wonders if it's about them and adjusts their behaviour.

    I actually just had that this week - we had a team thing and our director reminded us about "team norms" and blah blah, and I knew exactly why he was doing it, and who and what the real problem was - but other random people started showing up to meetings on time and such - because they all thought "oh crap, did someone complain about me?"

    But, as said, you have zero control over what they do, so sadly it could go either way.

  • What are some subscription services done right?

    Jump

  • Coffee delivery. I use a fairly consistent amount, so I don't get as overloaded/running out as some other things I've tried to subscribe to - and it lets me bypass "big grocery", and get better quality product directly from the roaster/blender.

  • Government Surveillance on Chinese vs US made phones

    Jump

  • This was absolutely my thinking in the couple/few years I had Xiaomi and Oppo hardware. CCP doesn't know or care who I am.

    Of course, no one spying on me is even better, so when I found out about Graphene I dumped my Find N5 at a pretty staggering loss to jump to that. Super anxious for them to start supporting non-Google hardware (last estimate I saw was late 2026/early 2027.)

  • How come some people can work 8 hours straight and then have energy to hit the gym, but if I walk for 1 hour in the treadmil all that I can is lay down for the rest of the day?

    Jump

  • I used to love doing that. The gym is so much quieter and empty at that time too. It was messing with my sleep though getting myself that amped up that late at night :(

  • Thank you. My day has been made.

    Almost had coffee come out my nose too!

  • How many of you are interested in one single genre of porn your whole life?

  • Ba Dum Tiss

  • Thought this was maybe the Blair Witch until I read the comments.

  • Let's say hypothetically, you just lived the plot of the Truman Show, escaping a bubble where your life has been broadcasted for the entire world to see. Now that you're free, what's your next move?

  • hooker coke orgy

  • Folks who work the Reduced Work Week or Compressed Work Week, how has it effected your life?

    Jump

  • I did 'compressed' a lot MANY years ago, like, almost 25 ... life was SO much better. Putting in an extra 2h a day feels like nothing - but getting a WHOLE EXTRA DAY OFF is like 50% more weekend. That was also pre-"you can order literally everything on the internet", so there was a lot of running around and "weekend chores"/shopping etc. to be done in a standard week - and you were able to instead do those things on your '3rd day' when stuff wasn't so busy.

    It was the happiest I've ever been in almost 30 years of working full time.

  • Is it a red flag that your boss asks you to explain yourself in front of other coworkers?

    Jump

  • Big time red flag, bad boss, needs manager training, or basic human decency training.

  • Dealing with faulty RAM modules in 2026

    Jump

  • TLDR - try slowing down “bad” ram

    Bless you. 0% chance I was going to an external blog. I don't understand how some people still don't understand what poor taste it is to post links to your own site rather than just creating content here.

  • If I travelled back in time to when I was younger wouldn't that mean my younger self would have already seen my current self as I'd have already visited from the future?

    Jump

  • Maybe you did... you just didn't know it was you and it had no major impact on you, so you don't remember it!

  • im basically addicted to food and im freakin fat, what do i do?? should i get liposuction or whatever?

    Jump

  • Any and all quick fixes will not work if you do not address the underlying issues - the weight will just come back.

    Many people have had great success with GLP-1 drugs. You should consult a medical professional though for a qualified opinion and to ensure they won't conflict with anything else you have going on.

    I used to be 10 pounds under weight and about 10% body fat. I'm now so overweight I can barely muster the energy to cook healthy meals to try to stem the problem, and forget entirely about working out. I've been on GLP-1 (WeGovy) for two months now and the change is significant - it is much easier for me to say no to bad food (which my family still surrounds me with and shoves in my face constantly), and I'm less inclined to take, say, four slices of pizza - I'll instead take two, and when I'm done, I don't even bother going back for more (and this applies to other food as well.) My long term goals are structured roughly around - lose enough of the weight that my body is no longer constantly just fighting and burning all my energy to stay alive and keep my organs working - flip that energy into physical activity and/or healthy food prep - and then as things start to snowball, incorporate the other (physical activity or food prep, whichever is still outstanding). I'm only down a handful of pounds so far as the ramp-up time on the drug is quite long, but I already feel better about myself, generally feel better every day now than I did before, and most importantly have hope and think I can see a light at the end of the tunnel.

    It is a tunnel though - and it is a long journey, no matter how you do it. I don't expect any significant results for at least a year, and even then I'll still have a ways to go. Nothing short of fundamental and sustained changes can produce positive, healthy results that will stick around though.
