The "What's on your mind?" thread

[Lemmy Lugosi]

I have been feeling poorly lately. I’m medically retired, for over ten years now. But I’m not sure what’s happening to me now. I was hospitalized overnight with extremely low blood pressure on Wednesday. And my spinal conditions are becoming very severe now. I’m living the Einstein schedule due to the pain: a few hours awake, two hours of sleep. Rinse and repeat until exhausted. It’s 2 a.m., must be time to go back to bed. Goodnight, all.

I hope you get well.

The sound of the rubber too when she turns the wheels?

I saw on Reddit that they’ll likely be priced at $100 each!

Yeah…I’m out!

Do you need an extra 50" 4K TV with Dolby Vision brand new for only $200 ... a Pioneer one?

I came across a video of a cottage cheese "cheesecake". I didn't exactly follow any recipe, but combined some cottage cheese, a beaten egg, and some sweetener and microwaved it. I let it cool, and ate it with some whipped cream.

I..uh.. may be having some regrets now

You have a bathroom in your apartment?

Has anyone ever seen a girl that was attractive enough to where you wanted to let her know even if she was with a boyfriend or husband? I've felt like that before and I felt that way today with this really cute girl. I think if you go about it in a good-natured way, you can get away with it. The guy definitely didn't have an insecure douchebag look to him so that would have helped lol

Also shit! I put ramen on for 3 minutes but I didn't start the timer at 3 minutes. I think it started at 5 and the timer is below 2 minutes but that didn't seem like 3 minutes

Yeah, you're kinda answering what you already know: Just don't. You would be the one with the douchebag look if you did that.

Hmm, I'd have to disagree with that one. I think if you said it in a respectful way, just giving a compliment, one would be alright. Not meaning actually hitting the girl up but just saying something nice.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

There is no way to know how a stranger will react to your unsolicited comment. It *could* be interpreted as you intend and it could also be seen as creepy unwanted attention.

As a general rule, I find that it is best not to comment on the appearance of people that I do not know. Also, someone that attractive probably already knows it and they don't need your affirmation.

It's all about context. You were kind of vague in your description. Are you saying it in front of her and the husband? Does she know that you know that she's already taken?

And, more importantly, why would you even be wanting to skirt the line if you already know she's taken? Like, what are you trying to gain in doing so?

I mean, I know the answer to that: I'm a guy, too. I get it. You want to put an invite out there, just on the off-chance, down the line...

And, if she has half a brain, she'll get it, too. Pretty women get passively and actively hit on (i.e. "complimented") as soon as their alarm clocks go off in the morning. She's seen it all before, and she knows the motivations.

At any rate, I would always advise letting the woman make the first move, in that regard. If she asks you about her appearance, or is actively fishing for a compliment about her appearance, then work it in, but in a platonic way.

I definitely would not, under any circumstance, compliment her out of the blue in front of her man. That would be a disaster for all three parties.

You could also run your idea of theoretical complimenting of accompanied women that you do not know by some of the women that you do know well and get their insight. I am betting that they would advise against doing so.
