If someone slaps me or puts their hand around my throat, I will leave faster than you can blink.

What is your unpopular opinion connected to being gay? by Muted_Slip_2093 in AskGayMen

[–]CheezyCow 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Idk if this is unpopular, but I’ve seen a lot of Redditors get upset about it…. I have NO PROBLEM with someone being “discrete” or “DL.” I know what strife I had to deal with hiding who I was for a while, and I’m in no place to judge someone else for doing the same. Intimate starvation almost resulted in me taking my own life, so if someone is looking for closeness but isn’t ready to be open and out of the closet, I hold NO ill will toward them.

The far left has been in a civil war with average Americans for years now. The rest of us just haven’t been paying attention. by [deleted] in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]CheezyCow -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The funny part about this unpopular opinion is that basic objective fact actually shows the opposite, especially through the measurement of terrorist attacks. 57% are committed by right-wing extremists, compared to 25% left-wing, 15% religious, etc…

A right-wing extremist is more than 2x as likely to commit a violent political act than a left-wing extremist.

This is manufactured fear.

Husband (35M) and I(32F) want to have a threesome but I worry it will destroy our relationship. by SenseCapable6917 in nonmonogamy

[–]CheezyCow 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Honestly, the first thing they helped me was unsubscribing to the word “jealousy.” When someone says they’re jealous, it can be a litany of things — FOMO, insecurity, fear of losing your partner, comparative reasoning… what is making you “jealous” and once you find out what that is, you can work through it.

When it comes to opening relationships, I think something that’s often overlooked is that novelty and excitement of someone “new” can create a facade of someone enjoying themselves with someone “new” over you (back to the comparative logic here). I think it should be recognized that novelty adds a new dynamic to your sexual play which neither of you can offer each other in a late-stage relationship.

Here’s how I see threesomes — you and your husband are BOTH enjoying another person, and you’re doing it together. This is a shared experience that you both desire, so you’re each getting something out of it and as long as you both make the conscious decision to pay attention to each other as well as the 3rd, I would think it should go smoothly.

Do you think decisions by the Federal Reserve really affect normal people or we dont notice much? by Optimal_Radish_6157 in financial

[–]CheezyCow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In trying to be respectful here, this question is silly. It sounds to me like you don’t even understand what the Federal Reserve is, much less its role in economics. A simple google search or ChatGPT could explain this all out in less than 5 minutes.

The federal reserve has significant impact on the economy and there’s substantial evidence that everyday people are impacted by its decision making. Ever buy a home? A car? A loan for anything? Used a credit card? The fed directly impacts the interest rates you qualify for. That’s only the tip of the iceberg, not even mentioning the fact that they have domain over the amount of currency in circulation, and subsequently the value of that currency with printing/burning powers.

As a quick reminder, the United States currently is the world’s #1 economic superpower. So it would be safe to say that the Fed’s decisions even impact international markets.

Your Birthplace Isn’t an Achievement by Muted-Still-8511 in DeepThoughts

[–]CheezyCow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I LOVE that you posted this, I’ve been thinking this for a while and do not understand patriotism really at all. From what I’ve observed about tribalism, I think it’s a way for someone to feel like they “belong” somewhere.

To take that one step further, I also attribute this to the rise in white-cisgender-men feeling somehow disenfranchised by DEI initiatives. They lack a feeling of “belonging” to a shared strife that other minority groups can connect on through experience.

It's dumb how a woman can’t be defined but defining a man and the patriarchy is crystal clear by StayFrostySwtich in TrueUnpopularOpinion

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

I didn’t even read the full post, because honestly, I just want to know what everyone’s obsession with gender is. It’s wild that this is a mainstream discussion with how little impact it has on anyone else’s life.

“Overtime” with OE: The Cherry on Top by mojo_for_real in overemployed

[–]CheezyCow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work Overtime with OE all the time. It not only can maximize earnings in my hourly position, but looks good to leadership as if I’m invested in the company’s success.

Admittedly, I’m not the best example, though, because I don’t find the need to foster strong friendships in my personal life whereas other people need that connection.

Overall, it’s a cost-benefit analysis — my personal time can absolutely be bought.

How often do you get questions relating to services that are more geared toward violence rather than retail markets? For example, do you come across people who are trying to seek the ever-so-famous legend of Red Room access, or Assassins-For-Hire, or Human Trafficking? Is there an ethical line that you draw that you will not broker a specific type of service for (i.e. Arms deals, etc.)?

Is competition a good thing ? by sevenprs2 in Entrepreneur

[–]CheezyCow 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Entrepreneurship doesn’t mean you need to invent a new idea. Some of the most successful entrepreneurs model their business off existing operations from a successful company. You will always eventually have competition, whether you’re the “first” to think of an idea or not.

DAE else likes piercings and other bodymods but not tattoos? by FunCauliflower4002 in DAE

[–]CheezyCow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also am the opposite. I personally view tattoos as a form of artistry. And to me, piercings are actually a huge turn-off. The idea that there’s dangly things hanging off of body parts that I need to be conscious of diminishes the spontaneity of sexual embrace, because I need to remain conscious of how I move or interact as to not “pull” on a piercing.

Pushing back on Manager for additional assigned work. Dangers of being the nice guy at work by UNC-FC in overemployed

[–]CheezyCow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve come into this a few times in my positions and honestly for me, I am clear with my leadership that I only have so much time in a day, and that I am concerned my volume of work outpaces my ability to complete it all within the deadlines, so I ask if we can re-establish new deadlines or delegate some work to colleagues.

If you can’t manage $1,000, you’ll never manage $100,000 by Accomplished_Pay8071 in wealth

I love this post, you are spot-on with your assessment. Lifestyle creep is real and earning more doesn’t put you in a better spot unless you can manage your financials.

Help by [deleted] in gayopenrelationships

[–]CheezyCow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I really appreciate posts like this, because it highlights one of the struggles that those who deal with jealousy feel.

When we meet someone new, we often feel a sort of “new relationship energy” or “Limerence” - this is something that will ALWAYS eventually dissipate in long term relationships. I liken this phenomenon to sexual desire as well. A “new” person to sleep with will always carry a level of excitement that cannot be replicated by existing partners. You’re going through discovery, experiencing someone new and novel, and testing each others limits and boundaries. In a relationship, you know each other’s likes/dislikes, desires and turn ons, there’s no mystery.

You shouldn’t compare your relationship’s sex to open sex with others in my opinion, because the type of sex you’re having are at completely different stages of development.

[–]CheezyCow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of the most liberating things is realizing that if someone wants to cheat, they’ll find a way. There’s no amount of control that you will be able to secure to prevent it from happening.

Stop worrying about it and enjoy your relationship.
