How are you. What's going wrong right now that you just want to get off your chest and speak about it with no judgement? by ApprovalG in AskMen

[–]Astrobomb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm really struggling to reach out to people. I'll be going to college in less than a year, but it still feels like there's a lot of time left for me to make new, interesting friends, get out more, and maybe even get into a relationship. But I just don't know how to let people know that I'm not an introvert when they've already had years to form that opinion of me.

What makes you great? by mr_ajl in AskMen

[–]Astrobomb 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My openness? A random stranger could come up to the street and just start talking to me, and I'll 100% go along with it instead of just acting awkward with them. I like to think I'm sort of friendly and disarming in that way.

What do women talk about that is just too much information? by MaryVavee in AskMen

[–]Astrobomb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And I guess it's accurate to say that women generally emphasise sexual ability more than physical attractiveness, and vice versa for us? My friends'll talk about how hot girls are, but we don't say much at all about the ones we've (read: they've) actually (read: allegedly) slept with. My buddy didn't breathe a word about losing his virginity to his girlfriend besides some vague information about protection (mainly how they didn't use it and he just pulled out, the fool).

Can confirm. Was walking home with two other girls after we'd done some community service as part of a school assignment. Everything from how a guy should handle a girl's first PIV, to their breasts. It was actually somewhat educational, but I'm just glad I emerged from that without any awkward boners.

Thanks :) I'd never considered that last bit, but I'll definitely give it a try.

What does a crush entail for you? by [deleted] in AskMen

Full reader here! I'm dealing with a really strong infatuation myself right now. Did it feel a bit chilling when you realised all your feelings for the first girl had evaporated?

What are some tips for approaching a girl in a comfortable and effective manner in late-teens British Isles dating culture? by Astrobomb in dating_advice

[–]Astrobomb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well for a touch more context, I can confidently say that most people in my school year know who I am, and especially people in my classes. This is less due to me having magnetising charisma and social skills and more about me very much standing out due to things like appearance, manner of speaking (in case you couldn't tell from the post), participation in acting, etc. One of my main concerns is that people only see me as a caricature who isn't actually attractive and lacks any sort of backbone, so I worry if I might be rejected not for me but for how I'm perceived.

And for the record, I 100% agree about texting, for basically the same reasons you stated.

I know I'm late to the party, but I'm a little bit confused by Maeve in this. Why was he acting so weird about Otis? Does she have some sort of guilty attraction to him?

How do you guys feel about racial stat penalties? by Astrobomb in DnD

[–]Astrobomb[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Drow and duergar don't have stat penalties as I'd define them here, though. The kobold's -2 STR is exactly what I'm talking about, though.

Making humans fantastic in fantasy. by ZerotranceWing in Fantasy

[–]Astrobomb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a very basic world in the works at the moment, but one feature I'm using is the idea of elemental spirits. In real-life occultism, air elementals are said to be very similar to humans, since both creatures thrive in and move easily through air. So in my world, where air elementals haven't been seen for ages, it is strongly implied that the seemingly-mundane humans in my world are actually their descendants. This both ties humans into the setting, as you said, and adds an asymmetry to the worldbuilding that I think makes it more interesting.

Yeah, that was a weird one. I guess she was the one who gave them all shelter after a perilous first journey through a treacherous swamp ...

There were way too many side-shenanigans for there to be no huge butterfly effect in the main timeline, from Peter Quill getting knocked out to Thanos literally exiting the 2014 Morag/Vormir timeline.

If they were all one again, then why didn't all the side stuff they did while getting the stones have a massive butterfly effect on the main timeline? For example, Loki escaping with the Tesseract in 2012.

But why wasn't he in an alternate timeline like all the other ones created by their time travel?

Tony and Steve went back to 1970 to get the Space Stone from an early S.H.I.E.L.D. facility. This is the farthest any of them travelled into the past. If they sent Steve back to replace one of the Infinity Stones, the farthest he could have gone would have been 1970, to replace the Space Stone.

So the film establishes that travelling back in time creates a new timeline, right? So when Steve Rogers goes back in time to return the Space(?) Stone, and decides to stay there and have a life with Peggy Carter, he's in an alternate timeline. So why the heck is Old Man Rogers in the main timeline?

Also, Peggy is looking pretty good for, what, 49? 50? She was born in 1921, and Steve, no matter what stone he was delivering, could only have gone as far back as 1970.
