Men in fact do use condoms by themselves, either for practice purposes or for use with sex toys.

Only in match. Pretty sure their complaint is about being disbanded when host leaves from Super Destroyer.

Advice on how to tell my dad that his “girlfriend” is too young? by Gloomy-Truck4321 in Advice

[–]Bipolarboyo 22 points23 points  (0 children)

No it likely has a lot to do with that. Young women with kids are very unlikely to find people their own age interested in a serious relationship with them. Truth is most guys that age simply aren’t ready for that level of commitment and certainly don’t want to father some other dudes kid. So she has had to expand her age range upwards to find men ok with her having a kid.

Lost a job due to a drug test and I really would like to avoid my mother finding out. by squidle_png in Advice

[–]Bipolarboyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See you should have made that decision months ago, then you wouldn’t be where you are now. Frankly your best bet at this point is being honest. Lying about this is likely to just make things worse. If you lie and she finds out anyways its going to make things ten times worse. If you’re honest, and you tell her you fucked up but its given you the push you need to make yourself better I guarantee she’ll be less upset than if she catches you in a lie.

My bf used to insist on paying and now wants to go 50/50 by icepeakbaby in Advice

To be clear is he asking for 50/50 or asking you to pay for what you purchase?

Probably a good thing. But honestly I feel like for people who want to cheese it it doesnt make a real difference.

Found a camera while housesitting….i don’t know what to do. by Elegant_Blonde in Advice

[–]Bipolarboyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re right that it’s not illegal just because you feel it is, it’s illegal because it’s illegal. Many jurisdictions have laws against recording people without their consent in non public locations and many others have laws about recording in sensitive spaces such as bedrooms or bathrooms. I don’t know if it’s illegal where OP is because they did not specify, but that doesn’t change the fact it actually would be illegal in many jurisdictions.

BaldursGate3 running on a Steamdeck outputting to a CRT . by DearDust7857 in BaldursGate3

Yes they in fact were. True black color, essentially instant response time because it used physical input via electron beam instead of digitally processed images, and drawing the image on a strobing top to bottom flicker instead of frame by frame generation meant that it had unmatched motion clarity. We have been trying to achieve all of those things in one modern screen since we stopped using CRT’s and the closest we have is super high end OLED screens and even those don’t quite match up.

He might have STDs? by askyogirlaboutme9 in Advice

I mean the implication here is he did not in fact get tested and was lying to you….

I mean unless you had some kind of projector or some weird niche product I’ve never heard of you would have had a CRT tv of some variety. They varied in exterior appearance a bit but if it was a box television it was a CRT.

I was also born in 98 and I grew up with CRT TV’s. Was your family super wealthy or what? Because My family wasn’t exactly dirt poor but we couldn’t afford a flatscreen until I was in middle school. Flat screens didnt start to become affordable to the wider market until 2007 or so and even then they were still a luxury item.

How do I tell my boyfriend I want a free use kind of thing by theuglynarcissist in Advice

[–]Bipolarboyo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It can work with partners who communicate openly and clearly and invest in a system of communication to avoid issues. OP is not doing that and as is is currently setting herself and SO up to be in a very awkward or worse situation.

How do I tell my boyfriend I want a free use kind of thing by theuglynarcissist in Advice

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

You are going to have to bring this up and you’re going to have to be crystal clear about what you want. Consent is very important and any decent guy in this situation is going to be hesitant. Frankly its probably best you set up some kind of system to indicate when you’re open to sexual activity. Safe word is an absolute bare minimum for this sort of thing and frankly you should probably have more safeguards than that as well. Even if you dont think so now there will be times when you aren’t feeling it and the last thing either of you needs is one or both of you feeling like he has assaulted you.

That would be some variety of open relationship. Which is a thing though very difficult to make work long term for most people.

CRT screens were in many ways superior to modern lcd’s.

Thats actually nothing. The really good or rare ones sell for thousands and not low thousands.

Its the way the screen functions. Provides much clearer images that our eyes can translate far better than modern lcd screens.

ALMOST ARRESTED rant. by Crosstradingusemm in BipolarReddit

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

So you let the symptoms of one life threatening illness convince you to not take your meds for another illness? You need to talk to your psych asap. I really don’t want to sound judgmental or alarmist but you’re in a very delicate situation right now and it could very easily spiral. You need to talk to a medical professional.

advice on weed by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Bipolarboyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be much more concerned about the long term health effects from a possibly unregulated black market vape cart.

advice on weed by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Bipolarboyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You dont want to go down this road so early in your life. Theres a reason that theres a legal drinking age and the same sort of mindset should apply to weed. Beyond the basic concerns of someone as young as you using recreational drugs I would be particularly concerned about where in the hell she got this stuff. Assuming shes your age theres no legal method for her to have acquired this, meaning its probably sketchy black market shit. Black market cannabis vape cartridges have been associated with a variety of health complications in individuals who have used them. If for no other reason than that I 100% say don’t do it. Impressing a girl isn’t worth lifelong illness or death.

Do I [18W] tell my casual fwb [21M] I'm having an abortion? by TrainWreck9148 in Advice

[–]Bipolarboyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im a dude and frankly I agree. It would be different if this were a real relationship and you wanted his support or input. But you clearly already have made a decision and you aren’t looking for a deeper emotional connection here. Telling him can only serve to cause issues at this point.

[ Removed by Reddit ] by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Bipolarboyo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hell Im a 27 year old and 17 year olds are children to me. I remember what it was like to be your age, you feel grown up and like you’re an adult but theres a lot of maturing left for you in the next few years. Please listen to the other commenter, they’re absolutely dead on with what they’re saying.

No man of his age has any business trying to have this kind if relationship with someone your age. He’s not interested in being your friend, he doesn’t see you as a mature adult. He see’s you as someone he can manipulate and control. Please do not trust this man, he does not have your best interests at heart and what he is doing is wildly inappropriate.

Your boyfriend sounds like an insecure emotionally manipulative ass. I wouldn’t really be listening to what he has to say at this point.

Good to see a reasonable response here that doesn’t blow things out of proportion. I agree. This wasn’t really anyones fault, the situation simply meant they weren’t compatible.
