Make every post a winner.
Mind your P's and Q's.
Keep your nose clean.

I had no idea what they were talking about.

I've been told that too- mind your P's and Q's. Some bad advice I got was when my OLD car had a lot of problems, I was talked into making the repairs. Little did I know that after my car was repaired, new problems popped up which was literally weeks later. I already spent almost $2000 on the first set of repairs. When new problems starting popping up, the car dealership told me it would take an additional $4000 to repair. I threw in the towel and bought a new car instead. My biggest mistake was making repairs on my old car. It could have saved me thousands of dollars. I vowed to never take advice from this person again....

Was it a german car?

reply

[–] andreaahr (2337) 5 years ago

No, it was a Honda. Hondas are great cars but, my car was super old. It was time at that point for a new vehicle.

Defs need to use the fight club insurance math model on that. If A x B x C = X. Buy a new car.

Homophobia is less acceptable than criticizing women where they deserve to be criticized

[–] Catbookss (13664) 5 years ago

As far as I've seen so far, all you do is criticise women.

[–] MovieBuff224 (5053) 5 years ago

That’s nice. You must have missed my dozens of film threads.

[–] Catbookss (13664) 5 years ago

You missed the point. When you post about women, it's always critical.

reply

[–] MovieBuff224 (5053) 5 years ago

Oh ok. Well I don’t post of my successes. I suppose that would be boastful, tell me where do you stand on women’s rights and their disenfranchisement?

reply

[–] Catbookss (13664) 5 years ago

What does this have to do with your "successes"? I'm talking about the way you consistently criticise women. I've yet to see you speak well of them. And then you wonder why you're having difficulties dating?

It's not hard to tell when men like women and when they don't. It's not hard to tell when women like men, and when they don't. Or when people like people in general, and when they don't.

Your focus is way too much on the negative and making sweeping generalisations. Shift your attention to looking for qualities you like about individual women, and people in general. Things will change for you.

Gay can mean stoopid.

That's not advice. it's poorly worded criticism.

"Just shut up and do what you're told".

Thst never works.

reply

[–] andreaahr (2337) 5 years ago

I agree with you to a certain extent. When you do what you are told to do, the person is never satisfied. It's hard to live up to peoples' impossible expectations sometimes.

I once heard of a speaker saying 'drive fast and take chances' as inspiration to be bold in life to a graduating college class

I thought that was terrible advice

[–] PaladinNJ (21528) 5 years ago

I was on told: "I know you're right but just apologize so they'll shut up."

4 years later the same person held it over my head that I admitted I was wrong and we never spoke again.

reply

[–] actionkamen (23176) 5 years ago

Not a bad thing tho'. Why would one want to speak again to that kind of a person?

reply

[–] Catbookss (13664) 5 years ago

😄 Solid point. Maybe that was the strategy.

reply

[–] andreaahr (2337) 5 years ago

That completely sucks. I'm sorry and what's worse is that you didn't do anything wrong. I can't stand when people hold things over your head and hold a grudge over you; it's like get over yourself....

Take anti-depressants for a physical illness.

Despite medical proof to the contrary, I have a friend who, for years, refused to believe something was physically wrong with me. It contributed greatly to me questioning my own sanity, to be frank. To this day, this friend still thinks my current condition - which I'm still seeing specialists for - is largely depression-related even though I'm generally quite calm and not overly emotional.
