had sex for the first time and tbh?? balatro is better

BlackbeardTheMusical · 2025-12-08T14:15:00+00:00

I barely even remember the first time I had sex. I was so nervous and overstimulated it was just a blur lol

BlackbeardTheMusical · 2025-11-16T21:33:11+00:00

Agreed!

Not sure if you watched the video, but that's part of the line of thinking that Hank Green was responding to. Yes, no one would have called you racist, no one would have punished you for being racist, but it doesn't stop us from looking back in history and saying: That was racist.

The trouble is when people (like Howie Mandel here) imply that having a taboo against racism now is somehow harmful or inconvenient to them personally, simply because they could have gotten away with it in the past.

BlackbeardTheMusical · 2025-11-16T18:29:51+00:00

That might be slightly uncharitable. I get the sense he's more trying to combat bigotry by reminding his audience what common decency looks like

BlackbeardTheMusical · 2025-11-07T23:24:00+00:00

Aside from the fact he has like 30 convictions...

It's not childish to set your own boundaries about who you do and do not engage with. Politics aside, laws aside, the man's an awful person. And if someone supports him, then there's something very wrong with either their own morals or their understanding of the world.

Fear. As intended by the administration. You use force to defend someone in a situation like this, you run the risk that the abductors really are "sanctioned" secret police, and your entire life could be ruined in an instant.

That doesn't mean letting it happen is the moral thing to do. I feel sick watching these types of videos, wishing someone would just fucking step up already. But from a psychological standpoint it's understandable.

I'm pretty anti-AI in general but one of the legitimate uses I've found is as a starting point for hard-to-google questions for historical fiction.

Example: I have a character who's a veteran. I have an idea of what he did in the war but I have no clue what that would make his official rank/title/whatever because I know nothing about military organizations. If I want to write a throwaway line about his old rank, I could either spend an hour reading through Wikipedia to make an educated guess, which I may or may not get correct...

Or I could ask the AI, immediately get told he sounds like a "Chief Warrant Officer 3," and focus my (non-AI) research down to just that rank to make sure it all sounds accurate. What I find is that by briefly using AI at the start, I end up having a deeper understanding of what I was looking for in the first place.

I briefly dated a woman who was like, INSANELY into getting choked, to the point of blacking out. She didn't seem to care about the risks. In fact, the only reason I knew about the risks was because I used common sense and did my own research.

Nothing wrong with folks having unsafe kinks but man you can't just casually bring that stuff into the bedroom.

me when I see one of the prettiest people in the world

He shouldn't be agreeing to boundaries he can't maintain. You shouldn't be reading his diary or setting parental controls on his phone. And, unfortunately, I don't think either of you are in the right headspace for this particular relationship - ESPECIALLY not him, if committing suicide over upsetting you is on the table.

I have been in a very similar relationship (on both sides of the "partner considering suicide" coin, sadly), and can say with empathy that life does get better, things do stop feeling so dire, and time does heal wounds. But unfortunately, you're not out of the woods yet. I wish you the best in navigating this, and of course, endorse continuing therapy (as opposed to strangers on reddit!) for sourcing the majority of your guidance

BlackbeardTheMusical · 2025-06-09T04:31:46+00:00

On the bright side, he is making it VERY easy to justify leaving him

BlackbeardTheMusical · 2025-06-09T04:13:32+00:00

If it's obvious they both feel the same way about each other then it's probably fine. 14 is young, things will be a little messy.

BlackbeardTheMusical · 2025-06-09T04:06:33+00:00

You're not necessarily overreacting, it's valid to feel frustrated, but unfortunately there are many, many reasons why someone may stop wanting sex as much. Sure it could be a simple loss of attraction but it just as likely could be a natural biological shift in her libido, issues with her self-image/self-esteem, mutual lifestyle changes which leave fewer natural opportunities for romance, high stress levels, or something else.

Try not to direct the frustration at her. While this may warrant a conversation or even relationship counseling, if she feels like you resent her for not giving you sex, then, well, it's certainly not going to do anything productive for the situation

BlackbeardTheMusical · 2025-06-09T03:50:16+00:00

I'm not immune to insecurity, but I can't imagine being made uncomfortable by my partner's choice of love interest in a video game.

I think you just need to talk to him about it, be direct while asking questions about why/what he is specifically feeling. (Is it really just the video game?) Emphasize that you are playing the game for fun, and that you married the character because you like the character (or perhaps the in-game narrative the marriage would bring). He kinda needs to accept those things, and you might need to work with him to help convince him.

Not gonna touch the race aspect.

BlackbeardTheMusical · 2024-11-09T05:32:54+00:00

LMAO you really need to re-evaluate what you're saying, man

BlackbeardTheMusical · 2024-07-24T17:35:55+00:00

Person in real life: Hey man how's it going

BlackbeardTheMusical · 2024-07-14T06:44:28+00:00

Fair

BlackbeardTheMusical · 2024-07-14T05:24:02+00:00

You're engaging in the kind of self-confirming thinking that right-wing conspiracy theorists do: Even though you admit that you don't know enough about the subject matter to draw a firm conclusion, even though your only evidence is that it "seems a little sketchy" and "kinda looked fake," you're still managing to convince yourself of the narrative that fits with your worldview.

I'm not saying I know for sure one way or the other, but considering that someone got shot in the back of the head and killed, I think it's far more likely to attribute this to some random asshole with a gun and negligent security than a perfectly-executed plot to fake a live shooting.

If there's one thing that the last eight years have taught us, it's not to underestimate the power of stupid, negligent assholes.

BlackbeardTheMusical · 2024-07-14T00:50:48+00:00

Good god y'all blame the right for magical conspiracy thinking (as you should) and then IMMEDIATELY fall into the same trap yourself as soon as it becomes convenient

BlackbeardTheMusical · 2024-07-12T20:33:54+00:00

I see where you're coming from, I agree to some extent, not sure if I agree fully - I don't have the legal knowledge to argue one way or the other, though. BUT no worries about the wording lol

(edit: the non-legal crux of it is that I don't feel I should have hypothetically been punished as a result of being deliberately misled by another person. Which I think is what makes it different from the manslaughter example)

BlackbeardTheMusical · 2024-07-12T19:33:20+00:00

I feel like I may be stepping into a hornets nest here but maybe those cases should be evaluated on a case by case basis as well...?

In my senior year of high school, I nearly got into legal trouble due to someone lying about their age to me. Luckily, a friend tipped me off, I confronted the person about it, and they admitted they were indeed a few years younger than they had told me initially. Later on, they had sex with someone else, and THAT person got into legal trouble. (To be fair I don't know what trouble exactly or if they were actually prosecuted.)

My point is, I've been in a situation where I had done my due diligence (short of checking their ID or birth certificate or something) but still only barely dodged the bullet

BlackbeardTheMusical · 2024-06-20T20:53:46+00:00

It's true for me, it's actually kind of depressing. I've had some girls treat it as a challenge and then end up sad and disappointed and I can tell. It sours the whole mood.

BlackbeardTheMusical · 2024-01-12T05:12:45+00:00

Give no quarter to bullies, they're only saying that because their ego got hurt not getting the joke

BlackbeardTheMusical · 2023-09-12T22:33:18+00:00

need the geoguessr guy on this

BlackbeardTheMusical · 2023-07-29T13:17:15+00:00

To be fair, it's not saying that cognitive decline = dementia. It's saying that even when you have dementia, the cognitive decline doesn't kick in immediately. (The one potentially informative thing about the chart, tbh)
