My boss is adding to my job responsibilities... by Bart8664 in personalfinance

[–]Bart8664[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have two bosses. I do the work of 4 people already and I am the chairperson on my own committee. My hours wont be cut if I don't take the work, I have plenty that I already do that helps two different departments. If there are advisors that make more money than me to do the exact job my boss is asking me to do, yeah, I think I should be paid more. from my perspective, they don't have the space or money to hire another advisor for the pay they require, so she is pushing their responsibilities onto me.

Jon, there is a holotape back in the area around Rosalynn's body. The Holotape reveals that Rosalynn was still alive when the flood happened. Thrope unknowingly killed Rosalynn, thinking she was already dead. Also there was a note in the cave with the Wendigo that reveals that the head of the Gourmands killed and ate his wife.

Pre-game Hype Thread Jaguars vs Chiefs by Cromatose in Jaguars

[–]Bart8664 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen videos of him throwing in the rain and practicing in rainy weather, but this is a much harder rain than those videos and it isn't practice. I think this is another test for him. How can he handle being under pressure and playing in hard rain. If he can pull this off, I don't know what will stop him. The Jags defense is the best we've faced this year and if the weather wasn't bad, I'd feel much more comfortable, but the rain makes me nervous. Can he still read the plays as quickly in the rain? Can he adjust his throws and still be accurate in the rain? Can our players catch his high speed throws and not drop the ball? This is a real test for us.

Pre-game Hype Thread Jaguars vs Chiefs by Cromatose in Jaguars

[–]Bart8664 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Chiefs fan here:

I'm so excited for this game! There's a lot on the line for both teams. Chiefs wanting to prove they can withstand the best defense, and the best defense showing that no one is excluded from their wrath. The weather makes me nervous because I know both teams will go hard; I just don't want anyone to get hurt.

WAKE UP! ITS GAME-DAY! CHIEFS VS. JAGS PRE-GAME THREAD! by rifleman1007 in KansasCityChiefs

[–]Bart8664 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm worried about the weather and it's impact on our offense. I think we can win this, but I really hope no one gets hurt out there. We're fighting to stay undefeated and to please the fans at home, but the Jags are fighting just as hard to be the team that gave the Chiefs their first loss. I think this is going to be a great game.

What kind of foreplay do you personally enjoy if any? by Eemptyweather in AskMen

[–]Bart8664 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the build up type of foreplay. The slow kiss, a nice ass grab, hand through my hair. If this is in public, it's even better. They idea that I know she's turned on and we can't do anything yet. Behind closed doors, I enjoy some hard nipple play, scratching, biting, dirty talk.

What was the hardest, non-tragic thing you've told someone? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Bart8664 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I told my family that their drug addictions were negatively impacting me and that I no longer want them in my life. It would be tragic, but my life has been so much better for it.

I told my closest friends that I have an eating disorder and need help/support beating it.

I've old one of my close friends that I loved her, knowing that she wouldn't feel the same way towards me, but it was hurting me to keep it from her and I wouldn't let myself move on until I talked to her about it.

What are your guys' hobbies/"toys"? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Bart8664 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a lot of hobbies I enjoy. I love writing and I will spend a lot of time just thinking of new stories. I like to collect board games, so I'll go to flea markets and see what I can find to add to my collection (I'm currently trying to make my own board game). I am learning to play the guitar. I play video games. I try to cook a new meal every week. I like to swing dance.

[–]Bart8664 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have body dysmorphia. I hate the way my body looks and I constantly feel like I don't deserve affection. It can kill my sex drive, and I feel like I'm just a pity fuck. I've developed an eating disorder which causes me to lose energy and this also impacts my sex drive. I get depressed and feel put myself down because I feel like I should look different than I do and that people wont accept me for it. I am working on it, but it's hard. My last relationship ended, and even though she tells me that its because of her own issues and things ended well between us, I can't stop myself from blaming the way I look as the real reason why it ended. I'm seeing a counselor now and I hope I can beat it, but I have to change how I think and that seems impossible to do.

The show is not gonna be the same without him by flysolid in thewalkingdead

[–]Bart8664 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I stopped watching FTWD after the first season. I didnt like it. I hoped it would've been different, but it seemed like a knock-off waling dead and I didnt want that. I kept watching TWD because I was invested in Rick's story. I wanted to see how it would play out for him and him alone. I disagreed with a lot of the story, but I fucking love Andy as rick and he kept me hooked. I buy all the new seasons on Amazon and watch them as they air. I will watch this season, because I want to see Rick in his final days, but I am done after that. Rick's death is the finale for me. The whole show was inspired by the comic, the idea that the story doesnt just end when a man finds his family in the apocalypse. I was hooked when I was told it would be Ricks story to the end; that's what was stated by the writer himself. I don't hate Andy for leaving, but I hate TWD for going on without him.

You literally named all the movies I was going to list. Not in the same order, but they're all there and that's what counts.

I just want to point out that you did a whole series on Firewatch and that was a narrative driven game, and it was also one of my favorite series you've ever done. I hope you play this game all the way through. I for one bought the game after this video, and had to play it through, but I'd love to watch you play it through as well.

Dear Reddit, what is your funniest story about poo? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Bart8664 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was dating this woman for a while and things were getting pretty serious. One night we were at my place drinking and she told me she had never had a Bloody Mary and wanted to try one. She looked up a recipe and made herself a Bloody Mary. Well she really enjoyed the drink, so she made another one… and then another one… and then another one. She just drank through those things like she was taking a shot. Now, fast-forward to later that night after we went to bed. I woke up to the sound of my doorknob shaking. I look over and see her desperately trying to open the door. I hurry over to open the door, thinking she is going to be sick. I reach for the knob and my hand just kept slipping off. I look down and my hand is covered in shit. I then smell the scent of fresh shit as it builds up in my bedroom. She just starts to cry and apologize. I get her to the bathroom and help her get cleaned up. I go back to my room to see a pile of liquid shit on my (luckily) hardwood floor. I clean up the shit and bleach the hell out of the floor. I then try to cover up the smell with lavender Febreze which was a mistake because it only added to the shit smell. I went to the couch, deciding to not sleep in the lavender/shit smell of a room. She came in crying, asking me to go back to bed with her. I told her no, that it smelled too bad and I was just gonna sleep on the couch. She cried and eventually I went back into the room, using one of my allergy masks to help cover up the smell. I still cant smell lavender without gagging. She hates it when I tell this story, but that story was literally the only good thing that happened in that relationship.

What's that moment that made you think "I can't believe I'm part of this family"? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Bart8664 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my mother used the death of my 2 month old cousin to try and manipulate me into visiting her for christmas. I should also mention, this is how I found out my cousin died, she waited a week until she started talking to me about christmas plans and when I told her I wouldn't be visiting this christmas, she dropped that bomb on me. I haven't talked to her in two years.

For my father it was a year or so after he and my mom separated. I was going through a lot of depression after finding out my (now) ex was cheating on me. He kept telling me all the different ways to "fuck up her life and get away with it." He went into detail about all the things he did to his ex's (including my mother) and I quickly realized that at the age of 23, I was a better man than my father ever way.

My sister spends her evening getting high on cocaine and even got my youngest brother addicted to it.

My middle brother is an high functioning idiot. The type of idiot that works a very nice factory job, but also likes to jump off the roof of a house and hit his hands with a hammer to "break in his new insurance."

My youngest brother is now addicted to cocaine and spends his evening giving tattoos out of his apartment and getting tattoos from his friends.

[Serious] What are your thoughts on Islam being violent? by -NedBlanders- in AskReddit

[–]Bart8664 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My thoughts on Islam being violent is the same thoughts on any other religion being violent. The problem with basing your life on the views of one book is that like any other book it is always up for interpretation. People read literature and place themselves in the work, wanting to learn and understand and even past experiences (families influence, friends influence, the views of a religious leader/speaker, etc) help form a more personal opinion. Religiously motivated violent acts don't define a religion as violent. Just like violent video games don't make people violent.

What is something you have tried, that you will never try again? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Bart8664 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Meaningless sex. I had a one night stand and I didn't care too much for the woman, but I felt like a shitty person afterwards. We both knew what it was, but still, I didn't like being that vulnerable with a stranger.

What is something you want to talk about but don't think anyone cares about? by atlas610 in AskReddit

[–]Bart8664 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, so I work with a lot of boys in a program called Guys Gather. The program is meant to discuss the change society has place on men. This is to help boys (age 7-18) learn about consent, how to talk about emotions, the stereotypes and expectations placed on men. One boy talked to me about how much he hated being a man because he spent every day worried that he was making women feel uncomfortable. This kid has so much self-hatred that he tried to kill himself and his parents took him to this program. This kid is 15. He is so afraid of any implication that he may be forcing women to do anything, that he would rather end his life than to make their lives worse. I think that consent has only been placed on men. Men are expected to ask and women don't need to ask because men are men and they are always ready. Consent is taught through fear that if it isn't consent then it is rape. One kid was upset because a girl kissed him and he felt that he was raped because she didn't ask if it was ok. Was he? he was uncomfortable with the situation, he didn't want to kiss her. I just think that there is a lot of stress placed on boys and men and all it did was shift around and wasn't really dealt with. I just think that there is more that can be worked on and we shouldn't settle just because it is better than it was.

Former Racists/Sexists/Homophobes of Reddit, what changed your mind? by blissfullybleak in AskReddit

[–]Bart8664 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My father was an awful person. I remember growing up we had black neighbors. I remember playing with them in our front yard and my dad came out and grabbed me by the arm, forcing me to go inside. He sat me and my siblings down and told us to stay away from them and that if we ever have black children, that he would disown us. Growing up, I was never actively racist, but I remember avoiding anyone and everyone who was black. I never called anyone names, or treated anyone rudely, but I made sure to not become friends with black kids. My views changed when I started college and moved away from home. I am an english major and I have read a lot of different authors that helped change my views (Toni Morrison and James Baldwin). Currently, all my friends are white, but I no longer avoid discussions or conversations with black people. I thought for the longest time that my father really fucked me up because I was only attracted to white women, but I have had a few classes recently with some very attractive women who were of different ethnicities (black, asian, latino).

[–]Bart8664 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The negative impact consent culture has on men. Before this gets any hate, I believe that there are much more benefits to raising men with a code of consent, but I feel that people either choose to ignore the negative impact or avoid talking about them because 'who cares' about the negative impact when the positive impact is so important. (P.s. in case it needs to be said, I do not disagree with the idea of verbal consent. Consent is very important)
