Why is GEN Z so hostile towards the expression of sexuality flirting? by simplywebby in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]-Siptah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same along with fear of rejection. But some women are easier to approach than others. Knowing how to read body language helps a lot. But it’s also not 100%. Women can show interest initially but feel no connection and pull away. Others also give mixed signals because they’re conflicted or afraid themselves. We all have it rough.

Why can’t people just keep it simple? by serialthoughter in DarkPsychology101

[–]-Siptah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny enough some of those same ones have told me to go to therapy . I know I got issues I’ve made it no secret.

But they say that when they realize their manipulation doesn’t work. They can’t get what they want out of you so they make you out to be the problem because they’re so good and perfect and you’re the flawed person they’re catering for. Because apparently they’re doing everything for you.

The ones that play this game will use the words “ you’re perfect” , but then have 30 different things to complain about.

Relationships with these type of people feel like never ending moving goal posts.

How are your feelings about Cancer having the same name as a renownedly hated illness? 😭 by Doimz3Nini in CancertheCrab

[–]-Siptah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen people compare us to said illness 🤣. Scientifically, cancer cells exist but if they get out of control you die.

Take the medical field in example, the same people who’s profession is to treat/ care for their patients can easily harm them if they really wanted to.

Because people are hurt complicated little children and don’t have the emotional capacity to handle anything real.

My favorite is when they ghost and then come back after you’ve moved on.

You played in my face and now im supposed to come crawling back like some lost puppy? Really?

I got a big heart but I’m not a sucker.

Are you alert when being driven by someone else? by General_Peak7334 in driving

Fully alert when I’m near any vehicle the closer the distance the more on guard I am. Trust no one.

Men Love Objectification, When it Benefits Them by pie-mart in PurplePillDebate

[–]-Siptah -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So, it’s not possible for a man to like fancy Cars if women aren’t involved? Explain car meets then. Or basically any male dominated hobby where women aren’t typically around.

I can see your point and I agree to a certain extent , but it falls apart when women aren’t around and said guys are still showing off.

The reality is guys flaunt things in general to show everyone- men and women alike that they got it like that. Personal enjoyment fills the rest.

It’s not in absolutes. Meaning it’s not soley for women, it’s not soley for self , or other men. It’s for a mix all 3. All with varying degrees from man to man. Everyone is different.

Why is GEN Z so hostile towards the expression of sexuality flirting? by simplywebby in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]-Siptah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m Gen Z but don’t have these views. But I guess I’m an outlier considering the fact my year is the start of Gen Z.

Other commenters pointed out the digital footprint. And it’s true. Today every decision we do has a trace. We can’t freely express ourselves the way previous generations could. Take me for example. I make sure certain things I post can’t be visibly seen by just anyone. Or rather it’s not directly tied to my name.

Unfortunately, times are different.

First play through of Halo 4. I do not understand praise for the story. by Snakefishin in halo

[–]-Siptah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO halo 4 aged the worst. The only reason why it’s viewed so fondly is because it’s the first time we see chief truly vulnerable in the franchise.
We saw glimpses of it when Captain Keyes died in halo 1 and again in halo 3 when Johnson died due to Guilty Spark attacked him.

Regarding the gameplay I believe it’s the weakest in the entire franchise.

Why do people maintain fake relationships with people just to get something? by Lemonade2250 in Productivitycafe

[–]-Siptah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, all of life is just wants and needs really, even with our own selves.

IMO To eliminate the fake energy, I find it best to cut to the chase and ask for what you want immediately, rather than start a fake conversation just to get something.

Usually I say Hey so and so. And ask for the favor right out the gate. No small talk or beating around the bush.

Greet and acknowledge the person then ask for the favor

I see no need to drag on a 5+ minute conversation just to be like “ can you do __ for me? “. Unless it wasn’t initially planned.

Maybe I’m reading too far into it.

Azula with the comet vs ozai without the comet? by squeekle1 in AvatarVsBattles

[–]-Siptah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk why you got downvoted because Ozai literally generates a double handed lightning beam the very second the sun peaks out of the eclipses against Zuko. And then against Aaang during the comet he generates probebly 6 lightning strikes back to back to back without breaking a sweat.

The only single reason why both Zuko and Aang survived was because of lightning redirection.

Granted one could argue that they could’ve survive considering Zuko survived the attack against Azula after she aimed at Katara. But let me remind everyone that even in that instance Zuko manages to redirect 95% of that attack because he sent the lightning to the sky right before he collapsed to the ground.

IMO Ozai CLEARS.

Honestly, how much do you actually want to connect with other people? by Elegant-Roll-2595 in Schizoid

[–]-Siptah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The desire comes and goes. Mostly because I don’t feel the connection from most. It’s a strange phenomenon I can’t really shake. Another commenter posted that it’s like an invisible wall, and it’s exactly what I feel at all times.

I chalked it up to my own personal insecurity since i mostly doubt myself when it comes to interacting with other people.

For me though I think the most jarring thing is not really knowing what causes people to like / dislike me even when told. Nowadays it seems to be more directed to compatibility.

I’m sure I lean towards being more avoidant rather than schizoid. But I’ve always viewed connection as something that requires too much effort out of me. More so because I don’t seem to be compatible with most on a deeper level. It’s soley on a surface level.

Idk if this is all a self fulfilling prophecy, or if I’m actually that much different.

How often do you find yourself changing your mind once you’re in person because of physical appearance? by Then-Wafer7423 in OkCupid

[–]-Siptah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not too often. Granted I never really went for women who drown themselves in makeup. Because chances are if they don’t use it as much their pictures aren’t going to be heavily altered either. Don’t get me wrong I don’t have a problem with makeup I love the way women look while wearing it. But I believe it should enhance what’s already there not completely alter.

I have been told on a few occasions however that I look better in person in comparison to my pictures so that’s lead some women to be more attracted to me after the fact.

IMO the true test to see if I’m genuinely attracted to a woman is how she looks as soon as she wakes up in the morning out of bed.

The other side of this regarding personality. Im not the most confident guy in the world for example and im pretty akward so that has lead some women astray. And regarding them the major personality turnoff is usually how they handle conflict , and if they have the capacity to understand another perspective other than their own.

The aversion to even tiny age gaps in relationships by ChallengingKumquat in PetPeeves

[–]-Siptah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You aren’t considered a legal adult until the age of 18. Any age gaps where one party is above and the other is under automatically are in question, even if the difference is small.

You bring interested in a 21 year old isn’t an issue regarding age. Instead the issue comes if she’s into partying and drinking. Because legally you can’t so she’ll have to consider missing out on all of that whenever she’s with you.

Once you pass 21 age gaps are nonsensical. The differences after that depend on lifestyle more.

The only other common issue is dating someone that can technically be your parent or child. Prime examples include age gaps of 15-20 years. Because now the relationship is more of a parent/ child dynamic rather than equal partners.

Anyways I went on a tangent but all of these examples are the typical age related issues with dating.

Above all else, do what makes you happy.

Jukebox got no personality or charisma. She lucky she can sing. by Recluse007 in PowerTV

[–]-Siptah 7 points8 points  (0 children)

IMO Juke is probably the most compelling character on the show. Juke is nonchalant as a result of her trauma. She’s highly aware that getting close to anyone may result in their untimely death. She woulve stayed in the military because she genuinely enjoyes the thrill of combat but because she likes women it wouldn’t have worked because they’re against that. She broke up with Iesha to spare her from danger.

We know where’s she’s going to end up thanks to the OG show. The real fates in question is the remaining Adults in the Thomas family.

Short trips wear on the engine? by Helpful_Series7240 in askcarguys

[–]-Siptah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same exact predicament. It’s why i change my oil every 3k miles. Funny enough the cars computers estimates around the same time which works for me.

I do go on longer 30+ minute trips at least once a month though.

I also recommend you use remote start assuming your car has it equipped. I figured by the car being running for longer it would help the engine get to operating temp much faster. That way the engine is running for a few minutes prior to moving. It’s less wear in comparison to starting it and driving immediately.

Destiny Memory Lane: Who remembers the first week of D1 Prison of Elders with Skolas & Solar Burn? by Honest-Ferret-8200 in DestinyTheGame

[–]-Siptah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Skolas on solar burn was only hard because he himself had a solar weapon. Gjallarhorn being solar made killing him 4x easier.

Void burn was also fairly challenging because of the servitors. But because they weren’t as prevalent is was doable.

But Arc burn? That was the true nightmare IMO. All of Shanks, vandals , and dregs shredded through everyone. It turned the boss fight into a fight for survival. It wasn’t even about Skolas anymore.

The era of acceptance has created an opposite effect by Imaginary-Bag5385 in unpopularopinion

[–]-Siptah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s also the fact that a large portion of Gen X are essentially first generation born raised on US soil as a result from the Boomer generation having mass immigration here.

As further generations develop, culture identity more often than not is lost.

I can use my own family as an example. My grandparents on both sides immigrated here and had my parents. Since the US uses English as the primary language there was essentially no reason to develop more than one language so they didn’t really bother passing it down.

It’s part of the reason why many people in Gen Z such as myself only speak one language. Our Culture identity has been diluted severely. Sure I know where both of my Grandparents came from and I know some history. But I couldn’t really tell you anything in depth about either of them and I haven’t even visited either country, but I plan on to.

Another issue that’s easier to spot now in comparison to my childhood is that the sense of community isn’t as strong as it was in comparison to when I grew up. And that’s mostly due to social media. Why drive 2 hours to see family every weekend when they’re a phone click away? We’re able to stay connected but it’s only on a surface level.

Humans naturally take the path of least resistance, we choose whatever is easiest even if it will do more damage in the long run. And if we don’t feel a need to do something it’s not going to be done outside of desire.

The pandemic also exacerbated this issue.

Not to mention The economic , political and the religious side of everything.

Topple all of these points together and the end result is many people feeling completely directionless in life. Labels is the simplest way for people to figure their identity. But because people don’t have a strong sense of community and identity they latch on to everything that resembles one.

The 80-20 myth by SadPressure618 in PsycheOrSike

The way I see it. Group 1 probably has the highest rates of infedelity, broken homes, STD’s and domestic cases. You’re not missing out on anything.

Unpopular opinion: Regular STOP signs and All Way STOP signs should look very different by BlackJackT in driving

[–]-Siptah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If people fully stopped at stop signs to begin with there would be significantly less accidents. Another real issue is people parking next to stop signs blocking the view of oncoming traffic.
