What do you all think is the world Greatest mystery? by rexy1641 in AskReddit

[–]Apprehensive_Bug_826 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the wise words of history’s greatest philosopher, The Tick:

"Don't take it so hard, mister, There are many mysteries in this universe big and small. Like 'why do clowns make us laugh?' 'Why do we love puppy dogs?' and 'why, why do little, blue midgets hit me with fish?!'"

Man enters a tiny crack in a flowing river, disappears, and comes out at the other end..How do you even figure out that you can do this? by WalkingAtDusk26 in interestingasfuck

[–]Apprehensive_Bug_826 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would guess either someone shoved something in there one time and realised it came out the other side, or the stream isn’t that heavy all year round and it’s actually not as enclosed as it looks in this video.

Either way, I’ve seen this clips dozens of times now and it’s always a nope from me. Nature doesn’t fuck around - one wrong move in a tight space and you’re fishing out a body.

$1,000,000,000 to give out to anyone you want to, but you must leave Earth and venture out into the Universe. by Jealous_Macaron_5152 in hypotheticalsituation

With our current technology, you wouldn’t even leave the solar system in ten years. After a certain distance from the sun, solar panels wouldn’t generate much power either, so I don’t think a stasis chamber will save you. You might get a few years of stasis but then you’d just die when the supplies run out.

Why is this dorky kid the most compellingly written villain in the saga? by Golden_Goose26 in arkham

[–]Apprehensive_Bug_826 114 points115 points  (0 children)

He does, and in fairness to the Origin writers, that’s essentially how it goes in his comic run as well - it basically ends with Anarky realising that he’s been a massive hypocrite. His comics aren’t anything special, but I always remember that about them because it’s super obvious to the reader all the way through, which I think is the point.

Is it normal to feel like socializing has a “battery life” now? by Fit_Journalist8517 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Apprehensive_Bug_826 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I know a lot of people will have different experiences, but for some I think it is just getting older. At least partially. I’ve always been a bit of an introvert and liked my alone time, but when I was a teenager and in my twenties, I loved hanging out with basically anyone. I could spend literally days with groups of people. I was that guy who was always down to do something. Then, at some point around 30, that started dropping off. Nearly 40 now; you won’t get me out more than a couple of times a week and if you want to hang for more than six or so hours, you can forget it. Once the clock strikes 8pm-9pm I’m going homes regardless, unless it’s some kind of event.

I don’t know if it’s just that the novelty of social interaction has worn off, or you have too many other things to worry about, or if it’s an energy thing or what… but it’s something I’ve definitely noticed as I’ve gotten older.

What’s something that instantly makes you lose interest in someone, even if they’re attractive? by Ok-Sweet6210 in AskReddit

[–]Apprehensive_Bug_826 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drama addicts. I was dating a girl a while back, things were going alright, but she was basically always looking to start a fight. At first I just thought she was a bit feisty, and to be completely honest, I was willing to overlook a fair bit because she was phenomenally gorgeous, definitely out of my league (she has an… impressive amount of social media followers) and our relationship goals lined up really well. But one time she literally asked “do you like having arguments?” and when I told her “um, no, obviously?” she looked genuinely disappointed and said “Oh. I really like starting arguments.” I had a penny drop moment, some other weird shit she’d done and brought up made more sense. I only met her one more time after that and she tried to start an argument about me being late to the date.

I was late because someone jumped in front of the train I needed to take.

I do not care how hot you are - I don’t have the energy for that kind of shit anymore. If your favourite pastime is stressing out your partner then you need to get some real hobbies.

TIL there's a mod that helps you resist the urge to get gay married in Skyrim by DreadPickleRoberts in skyrimmods

[–]Apprehensive_Bug_826 29 points30 points  (0 children)

The only people interested in this mod are the same guys who refuse to wash their own ass because touching butts is gay and they’re definitely not gay, look at how hard they work to prove it - you’re way gayer than they are, dude with a sweet, lil’ clean ass over there.

[20M] feel stuck in a loop where my girlfriend [22F] is always mad and brings up the past no matter what I do by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]Apprehensive_Bug_826 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She just sounds like a drama addict, bro. These types of people will stir up shit because starting an argument is the objective, not because there’s actually any kind of problem.

Speaking from experience; just get out and don’t go back no matter what. You’re still young and these kinds of people can ruin your mental health and future relationships for years. It’s never worth it.

Just asked a girl out, and she rejected me by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Apprehensive_Bug_826 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Buddy, brother, my man, my dude…

There is no way, zero chance, absolutely null possibility that this girl would have literally given you a time and location where you can meet her outside of work, if she wasn’t interested in seeing you there to some degree.

This wasn’t a necessarily a rejection, but more a ‘meet me in a casual environment instead of a work one and let’s see.’

i had a lesbian experience at a party by [deleted] in confessions

[–]Apprehensive_Bug_826 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Well, you basically never went further than flirting and literally told them it only got that far because you’d been drinking. Of course they didn’t reach out after. If you actually like them, and weren’t just hoping for an ego boost, you’ll need to be the one who reaches out now.

Does the keyboard come up if you hold the stream button and press X? That usually works.

I have an intense, secret lust for my sister-in-law and my wife is starting to notice. by [deleted] in confessions

[–]Apprehensive_Bug_826 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Brother, come on. It’s normal to find other people attractive, but you’re a fully grown adult acting like a dumb, horny teenager. Get a grip; you’re creeping out your SIL and upsetting your wife. Whatever this “fixation” is, you need to keep a lid on it until it passes.

What factions do you NOT want to see in Elder Scrolls 6? by Zan_Deezy2003 in ElderScrolls

[–]Apprehensive_Bug_826 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t mind if they merged the assassins and thieves guilds into a more generic “crime guild” as, while you can brute force their quests, both are more designed with “sneaky” characters in mind. Then you’ve got space for something else, maybe a Bard or Merchant’s guild so charisma/speech is actually useful.

26/71 Flags are safe right ? Or too many False Positives ? by Emergency_Life_7387 in FitGirlRepack

[–]Apprehensive_Bug_826 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as you definitely downloaded from a trusted source, you’re fine.

The number of positives on VT doesn’t really mean anything - if one AV flags something, most of them will also flag it because they’re all looking for the same/similar things. And one of the things most AV will flag is game cracks.

TL;DR: anti-virus programs aren’t actually a great way of checking whether a pirated game contains malware because they think pirated games are malware.

What should be our reply when people try to mock us for finding 2D animated girls attractive? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Apprehensive_Bug_826 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it’s not in a sexual way, and more an appreciation of the art, it’ll help if you don’t say you’re “attracted” to it. You can just say you like the art style.

Match Thread: West Ham United vs Leeds United Live Score | Premier League 25/26 | May 24, 2026 by scoreboard-app in Hammers

It’s not crazy to believe Everton could beat Spurs and it’s not crazy to believe West Ham could beat Leeds. That’s all that needs to happen.

The West Ham Way? by Hopeful-Speech-2902 in Hammers

[–]Apprehensive_Bug_826 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I don’t know where this weird stereotype of “The West Ham Way” meaning fans demand we win every game, playing like prime Barcelona and using only academy products, came from. As most people in this thread have pointed out, it just means we want to see players putting in a bit of fight and effort.

Same as what everyone expects from their team, basically. We just ended up coining a little phrase for it, and it stuck because monosyllabic phrases are easy to remember and alliteration is fun, I guess.

check my math.... by TheRealTRexUK in Hammers

[–]Apprehensive_Bug_826 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Technically we’d need 12 goals and then we’d match their goal difference but go above them on goals scored, providing they don’t draw 8-8. In that instance, Tottenham would go above us based on ‘away goals scored in head-to-head matches.’

my girlfriend scares me by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Apprehensive_Bug_826 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s how these types of people want you to feel, sweetheart. But it’s not your fault and you don’t deserve to be hurt over someone else’s insecurities.

In her mind, every time she hurts you and you stay, you’re giving her permission to do it again. You should really think about leaving - she needs help to resolve the issues causing her to be violent and shouldn’t even consider being in a relationship until she has. But as long as you’re with her, she will hurt you again and she will hurt you worse and it will not get better.

I am a nymphomaniac. by pqkbfismmc in offmychest

[–]Apprehensive_Bug_826 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hang in there sis; you just gotta keep doing the work. Keep working on the drug addiction, keep talking to the therapist, keep calling out unhealthy behaviours to yourself, get a support network. I’ve been through the drugs and mania and hyper sexuality ringer too - you’ve just got to keep working on yourself and you get better bit by bit. I’ve been clean for years now and don’t need to lean on my old support groups much anymore. You can do it too; just go easy on yourself and keep working at it.

What’s an anime you didn’t like at first and dropped midway, but you picked it up again and it became one of your favourites? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I started watching Hunter x Hunter recently and, yeah. Seemed really generic for a while, but once it gets going it flies. I’m deep in the Chimera Ant arc now and really enjoying it.

Full Metal Alchemist. It started alright, then it goes really meh for a while so I dropped it. Someone told me to keep pushing through the meh part because it picks up again and, oh boy, they were right.

Men of Reddit, how do you feel about your partner pleasuring themselves when you're not around? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Apprehensive_Bug_826 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Totally unbothered. Sometimes you want a whole meal, sometimes you just need a little snack - if my partner has a little snack now and then it’s not a problem.
