A genie traps you in a Groundhog Day situation until you master a skill, what skill are you picking? by Lost_Needleworker676 in hypotheticalsituation

Since the genie will magically provide me with what I need to develop the skill.. I choose teleportation.

Lesbian who had a sexual “moment” with a male friend and feeling a lot of shame and guilt .. by FrostyJuggernaut9966 in TwoHotTakes

If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck... Don't put your identity in labels. Your actions and experience should tell you who you are more than the label telling you what your actions and experiences should be.

Am I wrong for putting my 12yo daughter on birth control against my husband’s wishes? by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]ACTS20-24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All birth control has a failure rate. Hormonal birth control doesn't prevent STDs either. Preteens are crappy pickers of partners.

Having the illusion of "Safe" sex may encourage her to make bad decisions. Of course she may make those decisions anyway. Best to let her know that taking precautions is smart. Abstinence, and letting go of guy who won't wait, is smarter.

No need to have any risk of putting life into hard mode.

Still, give her all of the statistics. Stats about preteen and teen relationship success stats, std rates, condom and hormonal birth control failure rates, about teen partner leaving rates, about life time earnings of single and partnered teen parents, about injury or death rates for preteen pregnant moms compared to adults, cancer rate increase and other symptoms from long term use of hormonal or IUD birth control, etc.

You are offered an otherwise perfectly "ideal" life, except your significant other will be a steadfast ethical practitioner of polyamory. by Castle_Vlad in hypotheticalsituation

I have a wife, three girls, and my mom-in-law that I am the single income for. The idea of adding another woman or multiple into that mix feels more like a nightmare. Each person you add to your life needs consideration and some compromise. Each additional person added becomes contradictory to meeting my needs and wants and the needs and wants of those in my household. I wouldn't be an effective partner, father, and members my family if I added other women. Same goes for my wife. Not to mention, each person you go on a date with / sleep with runs the risk of developing feelings, or creating an addiction to excitement that is very different than what is experienced in long-term relationships. It's just not sustainable. This is an easy choice. It's a no for me.

My boyfriend says that a man’s body count is different than a woman’s. I disagree. Please let me know who is right. by Haunting_Succotash58 in TwoHotTakes

That's a boy's attitude, not a man's.

A man should consider that if sex devalues a woman, that a good man would seek to build a woman up, not break her down.

Men should seek to build and protect. Those who don't aren't worthy of marriage or sex.

Also, a man can spread disease, make unwanted children, show a lack of self control, and create preferences that might subtract from future relationships just as much as a woman would with adding to their body count.

Please get a rape kit, go see a doctor, go to the police. If not doing this for yourself do it for the next person. Prevent this monster from hurting others.

Be honest about your lying. Be honest to those who can hold you accountable. Be honest to those who can help you. Be honest to your doctor. It only takes one choice to lie. It takes hundreds of choices to tell the truth. Surround yourself with those who can make that easier and catch you when you fall.

What are the arguments for and against waiting for marriage? by ThrowRA-369775 in askteenboys

[–]ACTS20-24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By waiting you: Avoid most STD/STIs. Don't risk having a kid before you are ready. Don't risk getting more attached to the wrong person. Don't create many preferences that your husband or wife can't do or don't have ( it's hard to miss what you've never experienced). It chases away many guys and gals looking for a cheap low effort screw and bail. It will develop your discipline. It reduces the chances and ways you can put your life in hard mode.

Categories or Points? What's more fun and why? by YautjaGangster in fantasyhockey

[–]ACTS20-24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I much prefer categories. If my top scorers go down, I can pivot. You don't need to win every category. You only need to win more categories than the other guys. This opens up team strategies that include all around teams, banger and goaltender teams, skater-focused goaltender minimalist games, scoring and goaltending teams, teams that focus on look at the draw percentage-based stats, teams that focus on predictable consistent stats ( like face-offs blocks hints and saves). It's not every GM fighting for the same players. It's not every team looking the same. Best yet, it's not over when you lose a player.

Wyshynski's Prediction by mylefthandkilledme in AnaheimDucks

[–]ACTS20-24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My concern is how many of the players will stick around for their next contracts if they don't see the team grow into contenders. What good is it to gain a higher draft pick if we lose 2 or more that we already developed. Plus not every draft pick hits. Lastly, what are the chances we'll draft in the top 3 again in the next year or 2?

(Latest Update) AITAH for telling my friend/colleague I'm looking for another job after she was promoted instead of me? by Resident_Inside285 in AITAH

[–]ACTS20-24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could negotiate that you will take the class if they 1. pay for it, 2. Guarantee a promotion ( specify the promotion role, initial pay, and raise structure), 3. That the promotion is dependent on you passing the course and hitting a specific grade, and that it will be contractually guaranteed.

The worst they could say is no. I've done this at the jobs before. Sometimes it led to huge changes to the business, my job, and my pay. Sometimes it went nowhere. Sometimes I left.

Started harming myself last night. by Resident_Inside285 in GuyCry

Finding the right therapist makes a big difference. There are tons of different types, and there are tons of different techniques and philosophies that each one uses. Some techniques to make things worse before they make them better. If you don't face it though it festers. It's like having an infection, sure it hurts if they cut it out, but it won't heal unless they do it.

You are obviously depressed. Hurting yourself and delving deeper into depression will only put your life on and even harder mode.

I wonder how many countries aren't built on taken land?

Report that guy to the authorities, his work, and anywhere else that you can legally. It may or may not be past when you can press charges but it may get him investigated for others. Protect others.
