I can see this, I arrived here by the moderator note in my post about crushing an apple with my hand

Thank you bless you

Okay so I actually crushed an apple before I posted this which is what inspired the post. I just wanted to inspire casual conversation, ridiculous goal setting, and joking around.

I was inspired by an American pro wrestler in the Midwest or Mid-South(?), I remember seeing him on TV when I was a kid in the late '70s and early '80s. His big gimmick to show his toughness was to crush an apple.

I crushed an Ambrosia apple that was slightly overripe. I do not believe, based on my strength in that endeavor, that I would be able to crush a ripe apple.

Nice!

Start with achievable goals, and then work your way up to the next goal: pinching the skin off garlic gloves!

Please do your scapular retractions :) protect that rotator cuff!

You like literally have to buy 10 of them Just so you can roll one up after cooking for a friend and when they say what the fuck are you doing you say deadpan “what aren’t these disposable?” as you open the oven drawer to reveal 10 new pans with labels.

“This frying pan displeases me”

CRuNCH

I think that’s such a clever idea, and it’s kind-spirited.

I have always wanted to know how to box. Not because I want to hit somebody, but something about all of the footwork, core and the fundamentals that are strongly developed seems compelling to me.

A most laudable goal indeed friend!

I would like to suggest you incorporate the silicone grip rings.

Wow that was really thoughtful of you, now I feel a little bit sheepish saying that I can actually do this. I just wanted to spark discussion about silly things.

Dude there’s something wrong with your mind.

I was with you right up until you said avocado.

Sicko.

You don’t frigging know the price of avocados these days?

I’m sorry, I misspoke and I’m going to edit my original comment.

The terminology here is “mark as read” and you’ll find the various settings in the general settings panel.

You can have it automatically hide things you’ve “read” and manually by doing the hold-and-tap.

It’s not a joke to take an unnecessary cheap shot at somebody who’s already suffering homelessness and is at the end of their rope.

I don’t know why you think that’s funny, or why mocking childhood SA is funny.

My grandfather continually underscored to me that no matter what you try to do, even if it is a failure so to speak, you have learned. And you can carry what you’ve learned into your next effort, and be that much more strong and powerful. There is no shame in trying to invent something and discover that you are wrong, or start a business and not have it succeed, or try to approach something in a novel way and have it fall flat. That is the essence of how we learn and discover and grow.

Furthermore he taught me that you need to let people show you how to do things that you already know how to do. Everybody out there has a piece of priceless gold that they’re just willing to hand to you, and all you have to do is be willing to listen. And accept that while we may know how to do something, there’s always a better way.

Hold on a card to bring up the menu then tap hide. Might have to enable this in settings.

Edit, I misspoke. I was talking about the old “hide” feature from Reddit. It works a little different here, and you can mark posts as being “read” or you can have Boost track and automatically hide them. The various settings are in the general settings panel.

Oh my grandmother had those little Red Rose tea figurines all over her house. Literally hundreds of them.

She treated them like they were priceless and would give them out as gifts.

I tried explaining to her that you’re not going to get a free item in a box of tea that is worth more than the box of tea - do the basic logic gramma.

This fell on deaf ears.

I let my emotions get the best of me as a young man.

Still though, the best answer for me now is to not let other people make their problems my problems. The old cliche of “no” being a complete and unambiguous answer. Repeat until heard.

I had a woman flirting with me yesterday at the bulk food store. Happened to be at the coffee grinder, and she was struggling with it, and I just spontaneously teased “you broke it I’m telling”!

This led to a little bit of banter and talking about recipes, which led back to how she likes to get her coffee here.

I told her how I like ro enjoy my morning espresso.

She smiled and gave me that flirtatious side look and mellifluously intoned “I’d sure love some morning espresso… Brought to me in bed…”

The words floated off my lips “is your kitchen floor cold? Should I bring my slippers?”

She immediately looked shocked, faced directly at me pie-eyed. “I should have known better. Typical response from a man.”

I was fucking gobsmacked.

Don’t ever tell me that men don’t pick up signals, we have been trained… by women, to never pick up signals.
