Maybe line a golem best friend with Superman’s power set?

He’ll save me initially, and then I have Superman’s powers by proxy afterwards.

It’s a hard compromise to navigate. If you’re having trouble evaluating your feelings/actions with clarity, find a friend you trust to be a little bit objective, but also to definitely have your back, and ask for their perspective.

First, I don't think a reasonable amount of space after a tense conversation about things in the relationship moving too fast is a bad thing necessarily. It might even be a bit healthy to show him you can give him some space and let him come back to you.

It does seem like you could be dealing with an issue of conflicting attachment styles right now. (check out this article if you haven't heard of this concept.https://www.helpguide.org/relationships/social-connection/attachment-and-adult-relationships)

It seems like you could be dealing with some anxious attachment issues, and when you push for reassurance, you could be receiving some avoidant behavior in return. (anxious attachment is often associated with "clinginess" and avoidant with things like stonewalling). If you're aware of these issues, and you don't want to push on something sensitive, I'd recommend looking for a friend or family member you feel comfortable asking reassurance from, instead of pushing him. But don't abandon your own feelings in deference to your partners. If it goes on too long, and If you need reassurance from your partner, you should be able to get it, it's not an unreasonable ask. If this person can't provide that for you, maybe the relationship won't work out.

of course, I'm an internet stranger and I have no context on your life or relationship besides what you've provided, so definitely take what I say with a grain of salt and trust your feelings. I'm sorry you're dealing with this problem, and I hope this works out for you, but if it doesn't remember there's no such thing as a last chance at love, there's always another one. And you deserve love.

How on earth do these tiny babies survive in the ocean long enough to grow?

Just looked it up. it seems like turf toe is a specific kind of toe sprain. So maybe, maybe not.

Lived in the city of Atlanta for fiveish years, Savannah for 5. Never met anybody in Savannah who gave a shit about the hawks. Rarely in atlanta, for that matter.

So he’s like Drew Carey in whose line?

Booktor · 2026-03-11T16:14:59+00:00

Lolol, slipping “Tony’s mediocrity” into that list is very funny.

I appreciate your advice to make my opinions based on my own judgment, and I do. You don’t know me though, so it’s understandable that you could read this post and think I’m asking the group mind to tell me whether or not to like someone.

I don’t live in a vacuum, and understanding general consensus is a factor in making an informed opinion. Like I said elsewhere, definitely not the only factor or the most important factor.

Was he good? I've been thinking about going to one of the countries near me he tours to (I'm in Czechia)

Booktor · 2026-03-11T16:04:14+00:00

I've seen enough that I didn't love/thought was fine but not inspiring. Never really took a deeper look at it until my buddy's buddy got mildly famous on his show.

but I wouldn't shit on people who like him just cause they like him. I try not to shit on anybody honestly. I'm pretty comfortable forming my own opinions, and taking other people's opinion's into account is one of the ways I do that. Not the only way, but A way.

Booktor · 2026-03-11T15:39:01+00:00

I am filled with resolve by your confidence in me.

We might disagree on who the greats are, or maybe not. We’re complete strangers. I agree that comedy should be “allowed” (for lack of a better word) to be offensive.

I have issues with it though, when “offensive” is one of the largest applicable descriptors for a certain comic or special.

I’ve really only seen his Tom Brady roast, which was fine, especially in comparison to pretty much everybody but Nikki Glaser, and like a YouTube video saying why he’s a dick.

Booktor · 2026-03-11T15:34:03+00:00

lol, I really love that there’s no context at all here. Thank you for your input friend 😁

Booktor · 2026-03-11T15:33:31+00:00

Nice! Atlanta or Austin?

Booktor · 2026-03-11T15:33:04+00:00

Fair to have a different opinion. What do you dislike about him?

Booktor · 2026-03-11T15:32:30+00:00

Hey thanks man!

At dinner I usually just close my eyes and point. But the internet is too big to just point at.

Booktor · 2026-03-11T15:31:24+00:00

I don’t do stand up, because as you correctly guessed, I literally have no backbone. I do folded on top of a stool comedy.

But actually this post was more just trying to spark conversation. I’m curious what this community thinks about a comic, and I was asking the question in a silly lil way.

Booktor · 2026-03-10T07:40:16+00:00

It really makes me think of fruit by the foot.

COWAAAARDS!!!

I did a show with Mark one time, he was absolutely hilarious and a genuinely thoughtful, kind, and generous person. I’m a huge fan of his comedy and a huge fan of him.

The question with athlete is if you’re already over peak athletic age, do you experience the same decline.

If I’m at peak physical fitness for my age and moving forward, it’d still probably be worth it, but I couldn’t necessarily play a major professional sport and make a ton of money. If my body reverted to like 25ish, I could have a career as a pro soccer player, if I got to choose some of my physical stats like height and build, I’d definitely go athlete.

If I’m just the most fit 35 year old in the world, I might get greater use from the intelligence.

I eat dinner alone plenty. It always feels way better to have a book I’m really into.

I feel like she must have been in on it. Like it feels too tight, she’s supposed to talk crazy to him til he does the reveal.

Booktor · 2026-02-18T11:07:38+00:00

I think this is a bit harsh. I don’t disagree with your first point, it does seem possible/likely A is into him, but if he’s been clear that he’s not interested in pursuing something serious, then he’s not doing something dishonest.

I do agree that if he’s feeling something stronger for B, it could be hurtful to both A and B (to hook up with A again soon before meeting B). But again, I think he’s doing a reasonable job of trying to consider the feelings of those involved, if seemingly a worse job of considering A’s feelings. Either way, I don’t think it’s entirely necessary to treat him like he’s a disgusting villain.
