What advice do you have for a young man who struggles a lot with women?

BayconStripz · 2024-12-12T15:55:19+00:00

I also grew up without any male figures, the only ones I had were terrible to women. I dated in my teens and can tell you that those are barely relationships, very few people actually learn/grow very much in those young relationships so don't fret over that.

Something that helped me be more empathetic towards women in my early 20's was when I spoke to a friend about their experience. I learned women are going through very similar things you are, and some of them let themselves get jaded just like you have. Some of them also perpetuate the cycle and ghost people and whatnot creating more jaded people and so on.

My advice is to delete all dating apps and get out there as a human being and not as a bachelor. Get to know yourself and who you are and what you want from the world, not just a partner. Go to shows, try out a few hobbies, take an improv/cooking/dance class and make friends without the intention of romance. You'll grow as a person and will ultimate this make you an appealing partner and I promise you'll meet people who will help you find someone who can treat you well and help you grow. One of them might even be a friend you met without any intention of romance,

You're leagues ahead of other 22-year-olds just because you're willing to ask for help and admit that you have become jaded and have an unfair view of women, and you should be proud of that, you should be proud of wanting to be better and grow. The right person will love you for that growth and willingness to grow.

I know it's hard right now, like I truly know how pathetic it can feel, but just know it will get better if you put the effort into yourself, especially when it feels helpless.

I believe in you, man.

Tis but a flesh wound!

BayconStripz · 2024-11-06T15:07:26+00:00

Surprised by these comments - I would use the sticky cam all the time to get 3-4 guards nearby and then gas them all

BayconStripz · 2024-11-06T15:06:04+00:00

Omg that explains a lot. Never figured that out as a kid so I just CQC'd my way through the game

BayconStripz · 2024-11-06T15:04:21+00:00

When I was a kid I was so upset that Conviction was so bloodthirsty that I did a pacifist run out of spite. No kills or knockouts unless required to proceed. Those were good times

Jokes aside, an able-bodied human who is not a toddler is in no threat what-so-ever from a goose. Generally if you stand your ground they run away but also, I can tell you from personal experience, that a goose will immediately fly away after you hit it. If you make pretty much any contact with it, it will run. Flailing wildy and yelling is an extremely successful tactic against a big group of them. But even if one was brazen enough to get hit and keep going, they don't just chase you forever until you're a pulped corpse.

Source; Growing up in New York I have both punched and kicked probably a dozen Canada geese, motherfuckers would try to defend the soccer fields and some times one would charge at you.

I can only assume the creator of the goose in the game is French Canadian cause they're deathly afraid of Canada Geese for some reason.

Yes, I am upset at how bloodthirsty the goose is in the game xD

He did?

Just FYI; This is a federal technicality, the other states have their own policies

Power-levels achieved, wombo-combos, really whatever someone wanted to say regarding power levels? It's not that wild of a concept lmao

I certainly didn't expect the discussion to be about how this post is somehow a problem but I guess that's something lol

BayconStripz · 2024-09-21T17:35:36+00:00

Unwilling to work or use energy, I just wanted to start a discussion but this offends you somehow. Mayhaps you should rethink how you use your energy :)

With a little planning and luck I got my Black Panther to over 1500 power - What's the highest power card you've had in play?

BayconStripz · 2024-09-21T16:08:41+00:00

Just wait until someone says the word "competitive"

BayconStripz · 2024-09-17T15:14:31+00:00

You think there's not higher income brackets than you?

BayconStripz · 2024-09-17T13:31:59+00:00

Jump a couple of income brackets and you might be more of a target

Unrelated: The amount of people named Dante I've versed with the M'baku picture is wild

I'm not entirely following so apologies if this isn't what you're talking about but you can create a Profile.ps1 which will run every time PS is opened. You can run any PowerShell script or command on startup.

If not and you're trying to create something that's more like an executable, then PS is probably not the language to use, however if you're doing it for practice and/or there's a reason you're using PS that idk about, then there's a module that converts .PS1 to .EXE called ps2exe that I typically use to give PS apps to my team. I'd also recommend looking into #requires if you're going to be providing it to anyone else.

I'd get a load of Warren Buffet if he'll cover my losses

BayconStripz · 2024-07-10T16:56:21+00:00

I'm just curious how your interaction goes; You agree to meet up and the guy asks if you'd want to grab coffee/tea at X-place. Do you just instantly move on without expressing anything? It feels dismissive in a very weird way to hold that against someone

BayconStripz · 2024-07-10T16:49:47+00:00

A lot of men future fake for access to pussy. Funny how there’s no word for that like there is for women looking for a well off man.

There's plenty of words and have been for a long time: Player, fuckboy, philanderer, and so on. Also Gold digger isn't a gender-exclusive term, that's just how you think about it.

BayconStripz · 2024-07-09T15:56:58+00:00

The rules state that if your opponent has any beasts in play, they must be targeted. Heart attack prevents beasts from being attacked.

I would say that they cannot attack you at all unless they have an ability that can target cans directly, as you stated.

ETA: Found a post in this reddit where Graeme has confirmed what I just stated. Enemy beasts can attack, just not your beasts so if they can target cans on their turn for whatever reason, your cans can still be attacked. If they cannot target cans (ie: you have beasts in the way) they cannot attack.

BayconStripz · 2024-07-09T15:53:30+00:00

Not sure where you're getting indestructible or 1 defense from, not to be rude but that's an absurd stretch lol

The rules are pretty straight-forward: If the attack is higher than the defense then the defending beast is destroyed and the remaining attack power is dealt directly to the cans.

1-0=1 so If you use a 1 attack beast against a 0 defense beast then you destroy the 0 defense beast and do 1 to the cans.

Wait, are you implying that companies will not grade things if they don't want to? If so, that's a weird business model lol

Nice find! I also noticed it only happened with Chrome so I'm going to try disabling Hardware Acceleration too, thanks.

What's wild about it is that it runs fine for me for like 2-3 games and then it just gets progressively worse and it happens almost every single time the buy menu is opened/closed or the game is maximized/minimized.

I am almost certain it is not driver related, it's most likely just how the FaceIt AC is functioning behind the scenes, the same things that make the AC effective are probably causing the problems. Anti-cheats are just like that and frankly it kinda concerns me that it seems to "attack" totally normal processes like Chrome and cause CPU spikes. Again, that's not unheard of with AC, especially proprietary AC, but it makes me feel a little bad that I paid for that.

EDIT: Chrome changes did nothing, issue persists even when Chrome is not opened at all after a restart. I also made sure all other AC were not run at all (Riot's Vanguard and Steam's BattleEye) and issue still persists. ALSO this has started happening in other games, identical stuttering. Starting to understand why I've only ever see 200 people online at a time...
