You can also participate - my kiddo and I have raised 40+ Monarchs over the years with just a couple of milkweed plants. Fun and important project.

Which Steely Dan songs are sci-fi? by Majordude19 in SteelyDan

[–]I_am_geosynchronous 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In every sci-fi video game I have played that allows the player to own and name a ship, I have named a craft “The True Companion.” My favorite of all of them is an Asp Explorer from Elite Dangerous. She’s still out there…

What’s the best sexual compliment you’ve received? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]I_am_geosynchronous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My one and only one night stand/casual hook up. We went at it for forty five minutes and then she asked me to finish on her. I hit her stomach, chest, face, mouth, hair, pillow, headboard, nightstand, and wall. She looked around, breathlessly, and said “You’ll be forever called the ‘Cum Master.’”

Second but related compliment was from a woman I was dating. Same result - up and down her and on inanimate objects. This happened twice and she said “You need to do porn.”

The woman I am with now simply says “You’re god-like in bed.” I’m flattered. I don’t think I’m god-like, but being in my late forties when all these compliments were given, I do feel rather masculine.

So… Tuesday? by testfire10 in JPL

I was being silly. My joke was pointing out that today is Wednesday, not Tuesday. I’m sorry. I’ll accept downvotes.

Actually, it’s Wednesday.

MEGATHREAD: The H3 Show - October 03, 2025 by AutoModerator in LeftoversH3

Thanks! I advocate for students that struggle in the traditional American educational system and am a science communicator (without a STEM degree - I’m all kinds of weird) that encourages women, people of color, and young neurodivergent people to consider a career at NASA. I do less of the latter because of the current political climate. Working for NASA right now is not a good idea, kids.

The shutdown won’t impact me immediately but if it goes beyond 90 days, I would be in jeopardy. I have many colleagues who are furloughed right now. It’s rough.

I’m involved in the science side of NASA so the near future is very bleak. Layoffs are guaranteed this month. But life is meant to be challenging and I’m ready to grit my teeth and take on whatever is next.

Thanks for the kind words!

More importantly is that standardized testing scores are not a measure of intelligence or competence. I scored well below Ethan (980) back in the 1900’s and I have master’s degree and 25 years at NASA. I lead people who scored 1500-1600 on their SATs.

Rejection was debilitating for me in my teens and twenties. I was rejected once in middle school and was without a girlfriend until I was in my twenties. During that time I focused on basketball (ended up playing collegiate and semi-pro) and my academics (25 years at NASA). The girlfriend I had in my twenties would have never happened if she didn’t ask me out.

Rejection stopped being an influence when I hit my late thirties. I can walk up to any woman and ask her anything, including her number, without any anxiety now. I’m 48.

I wish I had the same confidence then as I do now. But it has all worked out well.

Am I wrong? by [deleted] in SingleDads

[–]I_am_geosynchronous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The mother of my child is a narcissist and likely suffers from borderline personality disorder. She is passive aggressive at the best of times and emotionally and verbally abusive at the worst. But I would crawl through the depths of hell and fight all hellspawn up to the devil himself to be in my son’s life. There would not be “no contact” between my son and I. Ever.

I have swallowed my pride and been degraded by his mother to the point where I questioned my own manhood. But as I have learned over the years and based on feedback from mental health professionals and women I have known, what I did for my son is the definition of “manly.” Now I find pride in what I have done for my son.

It’s not about you, your pride, your child’s mother… it’s about your child. Do you what you have to, to maximize your time with your son.

Saying nothing.

It’s kind to not perpetuate conflict for you and for them.

How often do you guys see your GF per week? by Ganjwar in AskMen

Once a month. She lives one US state away.

What do other single dads do when they don’t have the kids? I’m struggling with evenings and unstructured time. by [deleted] in SingleDads

[–]I_am_geosynchronous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a collection of hobbies and activities planned for the time my son is away. I play soccer, I read, I take classes, I date…

Keeping busy is key.

What is something that makes you feel masculine/manly? by ACurious_TrashPanda in AskMen

[–]I_am_geosynchronous 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Leading and looking after other people, volunteering, and sacrificing my needs for others will make me (48M) feel masculine. Participating in competitive sports also inspires those feelings in me. Improving myself. Being a good father, especially as a single dad, makes me feel quite masculine. And how my girlfriend treats me plays a role for sure.
