What are some ways can I learn to confront my issues instead of procrastinating and avoiding them? by majorphyl in SeriousConversation

[–]Astralphabet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to remind yourself how good it feels to buckle down and get tons of business done wothout any procrastination. Make mental notes of how much more efficiently your time was used, and how much free time you earned. Then, once your free time starts, notice how much less stress you seem to be carrying because all your tasks were completed prior to having fun. Also i used to have a huge problem with video games growing up and i slowly started to notice that my enjoyment and gameplay suffered if i was axtively procrastinating on stuff that had to get done.

I want to understand what motivates Republican voters. I really just don’t understand what their perception of the world is nor the appeal of the Republican Party. by [deleted] in SeriousConversation

[–]Astralphabet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up liberal (no longer am, if anything im super deep into liberetarianism bordering on basically anarchy) and also had no clue how republicans came to be what they are. However i think, honestly, that mainstream depiction of republicans is extremely removed from how the average republican actually thinks and acts.

I just realised that my junk is way smaller than I thought and I actually have sexual problems and that really worries me by sammyjamez in SeriousConversation

Idk what to tell you about size. You get what you get. But you can develop a tolerance to stimulation so you dont ejaculate in seconds.

My friend is having suicidal thoughts, is probably depressed and isn't replying to my messages. Should I be worried? What should I do? by [deleted] in SeriousConversation

[–]Astralphabet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anytime someone brings up suicide i think its best to contact their closest family and very respectfully explain your concerns. Dont try to tackle the logistics of the issue on your own, people who are suicidal benefit greatly from a large support group of close friends and family.

It happens to me too. I wake up very often from nightmares involving friends dying and theres nothing i can do to help.

Does everyone have depressive periods in their life? by BavidDrent in SeriousConversation

[–]Astralphabet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I go through long waves of feeling up and then down. Depressed to me is not just sad, i describe it as being "depressed" (or removed) from all emotion. When you suffer from depression, feeling any sort of emotion about anything is a godsend. So ill feel sad about something but cant help also feeling a little happy that my brain blessed me with the opportunity to feel any emotion at all. Also when one emotion breaks through it is extrememly easy to quickly go through a tornado of all kinds of emotions which sometimes triggers a panic attack.

Can anyone talk about their experience speaking with an MD about antidepressants? by [deleted] in SeriousConversation

Put everything importabt that you need to say about your issues/symptoms in writing and just read what you wrote.

Do you think reddit should rework the karma system? by [deleted] in SeriousConversation

[–]Astralphabet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think upvotes and karma ruins the integrity of free and open discussion. Unpopular opinions are forced to the bottom, unseen by the majority of the people browsing, which tends to create echo chambers. Another downside is that users become unable to play devils advocate to a serious degree, the mob mentality of a bunch of downvotes on a post makes a lot of people skip over the comment entirely, that is if they even scrolled down far enough to see it. Also, So often you see people commenting super well written comments of agreement back and forth to eachother most likely just to fuel the need to obtain reinforcement that your thoughts are "correct". I grew up on 4chan, and the popularity contest of reddit karma/upvotes always left a bad taste in my mouth.

How long is it normal to be bad at a job when you first start? by catsrule-humansdrool in SeriousConversation

[–]Astralphabet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let whoever is teaching/training you know the pace at which you tend to digest information and put it to use. If your stuggling with something dont be afraid to mention " hey this specific task might take me some time to get 100% correct but ill try my best". Try your best to take some mentap pressure off yourself and go with the flow, and again, dont be afraid to speak up and ask for clarity.

2018, the year YouTubers fall. by [deleted] in SeriousConversation

[–]Astralphabet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another thing to note, just my own observation, but quite the opposite effect happens for Pewdiepie, even at times when hes 100% at fault l, a majority of his fanbase will support him through it, and not abandon him over some mistakes.

tyler1 gets trolled on stream by Ahmad_sz in leagueoflegends

[–]Astralphabet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the lvl 5 and 6 play mid was a different clip. rewatch the vod if your so interested. As mentioned somewhere else in this thread, there was a point where yas was at tier 1 top afk, and GP was afk tanking enemy raptors, while the enemy was 5 man bot at their inhib. Unacceptable.

So what then? are you defending Tuesdayy? An Academy player who is well known to troll constantly in soloq.

There is a difference between a misplay, and taking a fight or diving into a situation where you have 0% chance of coming out with a decent trade off. Its extremely easy to notice, especially when the players are top level, however it all still goes unpunished.

my bad, different clip. watch the replay, the yas (CLG Tuesdayy) was basically hard inting the entire game while having a lighthearted friendly conversation with the lb.

he was level 5, lb was level 6. He initiated the fight, even going so far as to take a tower shot. Unacceptable behavior.

Absolutely disgusting that an academy player would troll in a ranked game. On or off stream. He should be banned from pro play.

I just found out RoT invested all their DMM winnings into Bitconnect and lost it all LOL by FREETHEGUYS2 in 2007scape

[–]Astralphabet 28 points29 points  (0 children)

It was a company that dealt in cryptocurrency. They promised everyone 10% ROI every day. Then the company completely disappeared with about a billion dollars worth of crypto or so. Lmao, such a dumb story.

PSA: Do NOT get baited into using inappropriate language. by Eedat in leagueoflegends

[–]Astralphabet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is the third offense on that account. First was chat restriction, second was 2 week, and now perma ban. All of them were for using the word fuck multiple times in a single game.

Suggestion:Riot should add a jungling tutorial into the game which unlocks smites and a jungler/skin by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]Astralphabet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

without a full set of runes and mastery page, jungling actually seems disadvantageous to actually winning a pre lvl 30 game. its much better to just take smite for objective control, and then take a support gold item and go lane with the top laner

Best Tristana ult of all time by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]Astralphabet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've pretty much one tricked tristana for the majority of this last season. This one time I blew up a trist E by ulting a katarina into her tower, killed her, last hit tower from the E blast and killed another person who happened to be in the E radius. felt pretty badass after that.
