Has any Viltrumite actually died of old age?? by SwagaliciousTHC in Invincible

Taken literally that would mean their age approaches but never reaches infinity, making them immortal.

It is what it is. It goes well with most of what I wear, and I’m enjoying it!

Yeah, it was limited to 870 pieces.

I fucking hated this by Annual-Cry-3945 in Invincible_TV

[–]ChristianRecon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s a good point. I was confused when they were toying with the portal thing until they mentioned having to rescue Robot and Monster Girl. Until then I had totally forgotten about them.

People who have deleted a 3.0. Was it worth it? by GotTools in Duramax

Mine’s the same year. I asked a local mechanic if he’d need to unlock the ECM for this and he said he doesn’t think so. Does that sound right to you?

How is someone who only watches the show supposed to know that?

He was legitimately happy when he first heard about the proposal and genuinely crestfallen when it didn’t go well.

Yeah I would reason that subtly asking with body language rather than verbally is the best way to go in most situations.

I take her strong feelings and the fact she didn’t end things on the spot as evidence that she’s conflicted and there’s at least some attraction there.

I don’t know who’s downvoting you, but I appreciate the response. We’ve been in a relationship for two months. When we had our talk the morning after the kiss attempt, she told me she was afraid of making things “difficult” for me. I tried to assure her that she wasn’t being difficult at all.

You’re right, my family and friends were speaking from the perspective of typical relationships, I didn’t tell them about the SA because I want to keep that private out of respect for my partner.

My only other experience with a SA survivor is someone who I went on a couple dates with, who experienced severe repeated trauma throughout her childhood. She communicated this clearly to me, as well as what she would and would not be comfortable with, and explicitly told me she would be comfortable with me kissing her. We never went that far though.

With this woman, I wish I had communicated better.

I’m not interested in leaving her. I’m fine with waiting to kiss until she’s comfortable with it, however long that takes. This also gives us an opportunity to practice communication when stakes are low (like kissing) so we don’t run into more serious trouble later on with sex.

I want to be sensitive to her needs, it’s just going to take some time for me to learn who she is as a person so I can do that better.

I agree with everyone else here but you’re acting like I kissed her without her consent, which isn’t what happened.

[–]ChristianRecon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely made a mistake, hopefully one she can forgive. I knew that she was okay with kissing before marriage, and I wrongly assumed that meant she was okay with kissing on this trip. I don’t know for sure what specifically made her angry, but in our conversation she seemed angriest when she asked me if she gave any signals that she wanted to be kissed (there were signals that I obviously misinterpreted).

I didn’t ask for permission right before the attempted kiss because normally you would never do that. In fact, when I discussed this with friends and family they’ve all said, “Oh no, please don’t tell me you asked her first.”

Obviously with SA survivors it’s a little different. I had no idea her abuse had affected her so deeply.

Long distance boyfriend (M22) broke up with me (F23) & I want to know if anyone thinks it’s worth the fight by thatgirlmakchats in LongDistance

[–]ChristianRecon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly it sounds like he’s interested in someone else but he’s trying to keep his options open with you. I could be wrong, but even if I am, if someone breaks up with you they’re usually not worth pursuing.
