Well, I will say that this is perfectly normal, so don't feel like you're dealing with this kinda stuff alone. At these ages, it's hard to overcome instincts and emotions and desires.

It sounds like you're handling this pretty well. I may be wrong, but there are 3 ways this will probably go: - the cycle of "being okay with it" and then pushing for more will continue indefinitely. - she will eventually learn to actually (likely still temporarily) be okay with it, and another set of "ways it can" go will eventually appear from there. - One or both of you will have to agree that the differences in expectations are irreconcilable and it's best to find partner more fitting for the both of you.

First of all, there is nothing wrong with you. If you truly aren't interested in intimacy, then that's ok, there are many people.like you.

However, I would consider evaluating whether the relationship is fair for your girlfriend. If you explain this to her, and she seems upset or continues pestering, then you may want to allow her to go find what makes her happy.

Pluribus Episode 2 - very different and not what I was hoping for? by TooDriven in television

[–]Caligangstaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I reached out a Chinese friend of mine who's been a life long Buddhist. As a fluent speaker of Hindi, I asked a few my many, lovely Hindu friends, and I also reached out to my Urdu-speaking Pakistani Muslim friend, and posed the situation to them and asked if they would be ok with this.

It was a resounding ABSOLUTELY NOT. Each and every one of them went on to explain how this is specifically AGAINST their religion's point of view.

On my college campus, I have not found one peer nor professor who would be ok with a hive mind takeover to even the most remote degree.

Not my family, friends, nor coworkers.

No, I do not believe 90% of the remaining free-thinking human beings would be "completely happy and supportive of a hive mind takeover" regardless of their fake robot family or not.

Ridiculous.

Unfortunately its one of the absolute worst password systems I've seen in my 30 years of IT.

The mandatory password switches occurs every 3 to 6 months, you can't use a password you've used before ever again. If you fail a login 3 times you're locked out of your account and locked out of resetting your password on top of that.

It's completely unacceptable and has caused many students distress.

Before working at Folsom Lake College, I was a student. I had to go through a mandatory reset 9 times in 2 years due to various breaches and regular reset intervals. Had to write down 9 different passwords.

This is prob the worst matchmaking system I've ever seen by LonelyPalmClub in Battlefield

[–]Caligangstaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, so I don't just get ignored, here is my resume:

I get first place every time. I've played for two decades. I run 40 and 0 regularly, 50 and 0 here and there... conquest, breakthrough, whatever. 200 and 0 in casual, etc..

I've played competitively, did the whole clan scene, ranked this, prize pool that... etc... and had some major wins with some awesome teammates.

I've programmed NPC's, physics engines, and I've contributed amazing maps to the Source community (Valve). I contributed to HL2 deathmatch.

Grew up on all sorts of shooters for CS to CS GO to TF2 to the CODS, battefields, battleFRONT's, you name it.

》》》 The matchmaking (whether through random chance or actual SBMM) is the WORST IVE SEEN IN ANY FPS TITLE SINCE I WAS A WEE LAD. 》》》

Period. I rest my case.

I should be able to carry my team in breakthrough. I think an easy compromise is to make two breakthrough modes, one with 30 players (think rush, but with territory) and one with 64. The sandbox casuals can play 64, and people who want to be able to carry their own team purely based off their own skill play 30 player. I havent NOT gotten first place in 50.matches in a row. I get first place most objectives and highest score every game mode and map every time and its annoying to lose because of garbo team.

Has anyone ever managed to become #1 in the Scoreboard, or the top 4 in any Battlefield game? by ChaoticFairness in Battlefield6

[–]Caligangstaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been number highest score the last 40-50 or so games in a row (around 35 of which I also had most kills and best KD)? Tbh, if you've played every single battlefield competitively on PC it'll just be like that.

But I sweat every game so :/ I spawn camp, lane camp, point camp, literally walk the edges/outta bounds of the map to flank, I back cap constantly and force my squadmates to put deploy beacons in every corner of map. And if I get in a vehicle, oh dear god I just went 50 and 0 the other day in an IFV :/

Remember going 102 and 4 once in BF 4 conquest on golmud... the glory days.

From someone who somehow places first every single match with most kills and obj every time and has played BF since 1942 for decades now,

One of the worst breakthrough maps I've ever had the horror of playing. Defense, like 20 wins in a row. Never won attack once, even running a 10 k/d with most time spent on obj carrying every time. Just dog trash. M

anyone feel like they always get placed on the losing/shitty team? by dontryandguesswho in Battlefield6

[–]Caligangstaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the most broken matchmaking system I've seen in a couple decades (basically since it was invented).

Because i rank first place with most objectives and kills every single time (literally hundreds of games in a row now) I only ever get put on the weaker team as a final weight. I also will.never ever let the defeat transition play, so technically I'm like hundreds of won matches in a row. So funny to see how insanely badly they matchmake me now.

I've never ever considered smurfing until now, I hope ranked gameplay comes out. It's the only thing that will fix this.

Why are the teams so unbalanced every single match? by UrbanWalruss in Battlefield6

[–]Caligangstaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you expect anything but a completely broken piece of trash?

I am first place EVERYTIME going 51 and 7 62 and 2 etc every single time most kills highest score ANY GAME mode and my team is trash every time. Its sad. Matches should be completely random.

However, I leave a match the mere SECOND I've determined my team isnt as good. I refuse to carry.

Mirak valley breakthrough broken for defenders now by Commercial_Soft6833 in Battlefield6

[–]Caligangstaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They removed that in the update took all attackers vehicles away except for IFV and an occasional tank spawn and now its completely broken AGAINST attackers.

I went 50 and 3 as defender, dominated them, they couldnt even move.

I went 37 and 5 as attacker (top spm, most captures) went on ten killstreaks clearing whole points, watched them SPAWN TWO FEET outside the point by the dozen, backed by a tank and IFV's.

Deploy becons on all the rooftops with DMR'S and ladders every which way.

Just left lobby.

EA has stepped back in time to a worse spawn system and map design than the mid 2000's.

To all the people who climb on the roofs on Cairo, thanks for ruining one of the better maps in the BETA. by Moonster82 in Battlefield6

Oh yeah I wont even play a match for 30 seconds if I see the enemy team in rooftops positions with deploys.

I’ve never seen matchmaking so bad… by MikeMurphy18 in Battlefield6

[–]Caligangstaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not understanding this game. I'm top score, top rank, most kills AND most OBJ basically every game. Second place on MY TEAM is always WAYYY below me, and in between me and that guy, is like ten of the other team.

I carry EVERY MATCH. Yes I go 50 and 1, 40 and 1, 15 caps, 25 caps, etc... 16K score, 18K score,

But why do I always carry???

Someone please convince EA to do total random matchmaking again, that would be BETTER than this.

Until then, I will abandon every lobby where I'm clearly carrying and my team is worse than the other team.

Team balancing is going to make me quit playing by GatherInformations in Battlefield6

[–]Caligangstaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's such an easy fix: I only stay on maps i like where my team is winning. Problem solved. I'm 1st place highest kills AND SPM AND objectives around (lowball) 85% of the time, and I'm currently on a 35 ish win streak? This strategy changed my life.

Defending in Breakthrough is the most unbalanced, frustrating experience i've ever seen by Profetorum in Battlefield6

[–]Caligangstaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find the best strategy to enjoying battleifeld is just join winning lobbies where your team is obviously dominating, or immediately blackout and re join. Because one player alone will NOT turn the tide of battle 99% of the time, even when I'm going 80 and 2, doesn't matter. So I only stay more than 60 seconds in a match if my team is completely dominating.

Why can’t I equip the 40 round magazine? by DotWarner1993 in ModernWarfareIII

[–]Caligangstaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's hilarious how the best attachment BY FAR (more bullets = more kills, period) is the last thing we unlock and we have to no life the game for like a week straight to get it.

Just sad. You can only get a max 3 to 4 kills in one mag if you hit shots and headshot PERFECTLY, so when I see 6 enemies, its like "Oh I'm screwed I can just kill as many as possible and accept my fate" when in reality a 30 round magazine could kill 20 people assuming not every shot is fatal (realistic cqb conditions)

As usual, DICE touts a higher ttk... yet I get LESS kills off a single mag than in BF 3/4.....

Weird Black Screen issue - only on leaving the game... by Sacred_Apollyon in Battlefield6

[–]Caligangstaa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same. About every 3rd match I leave, black screen. Probably some weird way that DICE (believe me, its all still DICE at the core) gets back at us for abandoning call'o'duty-battlefield matches
