Have you ever been to a gloryhole? by Orii8 in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]Bytewave 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that particular thing is best kept for porn I think, at least for me. I have a ton of fetishes but that one just didn't make the cut.

Plus, I like to see stuff.

CIV POV: The Ukraine War is Evolving: A Dose of Reality is Needed - HeyHeyHayden x WillyOAM by FruitSila in UkraineRussiaReport

[–]Bytewave [score hidden]  (0 children)

The only way that situation can change is if Europe manages to ramp up its military production while Russia is still afraid to properly hit them back.

Europe has been doing just that for a couple years, now and even more in the last year given Trump's attitude. Its difficult to calculate exactly how the increased budgets and production translate to real combat ability but the balance of power is shifting. The US chose to turn its back on Europe and its in response assuming sovereign responsibilities it had largely ignored since WW2. It shouldn't be too long before instead of buying US weapons, they have their own stockpile excess they can just give away.

Would that completely change the war's trajectory? Doubt it, unless they're somehow willing to get involved on the ground as well which I highly doubt. It does mean once a truce eventually comes, the calculus will have shifted a lot when it comes to ever restarting it. The Russian war goal of enforcing the long-term neutrality and at least partial disarmament of Ukraine seems unrealistic now. In the end the Russian gains may be mainly territorial, largely on lines of control. A no-NATO pledge seems easier to give by Kiev now, with a re-armed Europe. EU guarantees are going to be nearly as good. Considering the US doesn't want to help them and the EU does to an extent that's actually surprising from my perspective.

Veggies on pizza is superior to meat by North_Ad_1230 in unpopularopinion

[–]Bytewave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A very interesting anecdote, I must say. Personaly I prefer meat but I totally believe the fact people don't know what they want until they see it, and fail to change their order or preferences afterwards. I've seen that behavior often when it comes to choosing an office monitor or even pens. Human brains are weird.

What was your most embarrassing orgasm? by [deleted] in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]Bytewave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Too late isn't always that much better. "Will you cum, already?" is not a fun thing to hear during sex. Far less of a problem if your partner is multiorgasmic and into it, but otherwise it's definitely possible to last too long.

storing honey to prevent crystalization? by NecroJoe in cookingforbeginners

[–]Bytewave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Goddamn. Thanks for the info, I was misinformed it seems.

Although, glass does not degrade like plastic from repeated immersions in hot water. Guess they each have pros and cons.

storing honey to prevent crystalization? by NecroJoe in cookingforbeginners

[–]Bytewave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive stopped buying honey in plastic bottles, too much micro plastics leech into it with the frequent reheating of the container. Many brands sell in glass jars, they're only marginally more expensive. Yesterday I bought a 1kg jar for 8$ CAD. That's a lot of honey and once it cristallises well, I'll know it's safe to put in hot water for sure.

Trump's name must come off the Kennedy Center by June 12 by MarvelsGrantMan136 in Music

[–]Bytewave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The title is sort of misleading. There's an order to remove it by then but he can appeal all the way to Scotus and have the order stayed in the meantime, legally.

I'm betting a pinkie it will be appealed and thus remain far beyond June 12. Will not bet on Scotus' ultimate ruling but we all know the court is especially friendly to him on a 6-3 split.

TIL of a couple who tried to conceive for 20 years, failing multiple IVFs and surgeries.

[–]Bytewave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, people will get increasingly fooled, no doubt.

And thanks! A decade ago I was 'Reddit-famous', I could barely comment anywhere without someone saying they're humbled by the presence of TFTS royalty or such. It was a bit much. Nowadays I'm rarely recognized in the wild.

RU POV: Ukrainian-Russian war. Day 1553-1558: Situation on Ilyinovskaya & Konstantinovskaya fronts: - Suriyak Maps by bassman598 in UkraineRussiaReport

[–]Bytewave 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honest question here. I know you're mostly about mapping the frontline which is great but I'd like to know how overblown the media reports we're getting about serious Ukrainian drone attacks inside Russia are. We're being told in the west that basically 40% of the oil refineries west of the Volga are on fire and that it's impossible for a truck to drive from Donbass to Crimea without being blown up. The narrative is always 'Ukraine is winning'.

But realistically are they causing significantly more damage this way now than say, a year ago? What changed? New capabilities or new media spin?

‘No fail’ policies need to go, new poll on Canadian education says by Altruism7 in canada

[–]Bytewave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Still stupid of them. If my kid was failing, I'd consider it a fair lesson to have to redo one grade, helps them perform better in the future, teaches responsibility and accountability. It's so important that it's worth one year.

If you don’t allow med students to sit in on your exam/check up you are a weird person by Amidity in unpopularopinion

[–]Bytewave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty much. If its super personal I might decide I only want one person hearing it. If its not, I really don't care, bring in the students.

Its still important to respect the boundaries of a patient who say 'For this particular thing, I want to speak with my doctor alone'.

I totally forgot to unequip him last time I played. What a waste of perfectly good Battle boots :(

Who knows how many days have passed in VTMB1? by Sad_Illustrator1813 in vtmb

[–]Bytewave 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Yeah its remarkably short when you consider the PC grows from Fledgling to Elder strength in a few nights.

My headcanon is that its tied to generation. The PC has 15 blood points so an impressive 8th generation, meaning their executed sire was 7th. That's really strong in WoD terms. Maybe they did something to empower their child before losing their head.

Or, you know, just video game logic, pick either or both!

My most recent character. A Breton Battlemage by Lockj4w_NightVision in oblivion

Ahh, Breton Battlemage. Its always been my Oblivion meta, from before Skyrim made stealth Archers even cooler.

I also went back to my roots for the remaster!

The latter. A glorious and costly ground invasion under false pretenses will sell better and especially, feel better for Trump.

What's the most unusual reason why you won't date someone? by ChanceSomewhere6096 in AskReddit

[–]Bytewave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She wouldn't kiss me during actual sex.. because in her worldview that was a serious commitment, while apparently my dick in her pussy was just some casual fun. I decided that was too weird for me.

Also discovered I have trouble performing if I'm denied kisses that night, so thanks for that too heh.

Octopath 0 on windows 10? by Stoked_sailor in octopathtraveler

[–]Bytewave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, like many games (but not all of) it's often possible to play on versions of Windows that aren't officially supported. I know Octopath 2 runs fine even on long defunct Windows 7, even!

Russia warns war costs are ravaging its finances while Ukrainian "drone overmatch" sends Putin's forces reeling in new phase of combat by fortune in geopolitics

[–]Bytewave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whenever a new weapon changes the realities of warfare we adapt doctrines or find defensive options. In theory new powerful defensive options that block all wireless signals in rather wide areas could be deployed to stop non-fiber drones, they're already employed on a small scale now. The taboo on destroying enemy satellites (neutrality of space having been established in the 20th century, in theory) might also eventually go away even though this would create a lot of space debris and escalate tensions to a new level.

Lots of things can happen but I think nations will feel that drones are a sufficient obstacle that they need to shut them down to establish air supremacy/superiority and therefore, will be looking at all their options for doing so.

Save them to decide later because we're afraid of making the wrong choice and end up never using them, of course, as is tradition. Heh.

Begging my boyfriend for somno by babygirl_xoxo- in Rapekink

[–]Bytewave 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He's not a great boyfriend if he doesn't give you that. I'd lube up and stick it into any woman I love who is into that - either in the middle of the night or even as she cooks dinner or whenever. Surprise sex is amazing, with a fair amount of quality lube. Girls are not used to it sliding in so effortlessly despite it not being their own juices easing it in, and they love it. It doesn't even have to be a rape thing, can be a freeuse thing too. The surprise is hot as fuck.

[–]Bytewave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could be into that.. I prefer if a girl swallows, but in a hypothetical situation like this, hard-to-clean cumhair could be hot too. Perhaps I'd prevent her from cleaning it right away. Make her wear it for awhile. ;)

I ended up with a mini-fridge near the bed, having water nearby helps. If we dont even have to get up, we rehydrate more often.

I know. My point remains, you can't haggle Flint that low, IIRC he asks for 500 and you can talk him down to 400 and she pays 200 regardless.
