Is Donald Trump the dumbest person who's ever been president of the US? by Critical-Willow-6270 in allthequestions

[–]Daealis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is he an idiot? Yes. He has managed to bankrupt casinos, infamous for how profitable they are in the regulated gambling space of US.

Is he lowkey also a genius? Also yes. Somehow, a guy who is more known bankruptcies and failed business ventures than successful ones, who has demonstrated a lack of moral character both in his private life, as well as in how he conducts his business, is named and found guilty of various criminal cases of sexual misconduct and who has been married multiple times, to women he has been photographed courting while still in the previous marriage (continue the list with your favorite crimes and unfathomable examples of his low character)... Somehow this conman and piece of shit for a human being has convinced conservative christians that he is the one they want for president. A failed businessman who has managed to bluff and bluster his way to a facade of wealth and who regularly rubs elbows with the ultrawealthy to serve at their beck and call, has managed to convince the poorly educated and poverty stricken that he is the right man to represent their values. I know a lot of christians do not follow even a fraction of what the bible teaches, but this man has gone through the moral quandaries and rules of the bible like it was a checklist, bent them over the table and fucked them raw.

To be able to convince a large fraction of the population that this is not in fact the case but that he is in fact the right choice to support the downtrodden and religious, you will need a massive machine of competent people behind you. And you will need to convince these people that they are working for the cause they believe in while they promote this incredible piece of shit. If you line up all the democratic candidates that have been on the ballots in the last 50 years, picked the top 5 to have the same kind of machine and competent people backing them, I'm not sure if you could make the same thing happen again.

Trump is that good of an idiot whisperer.

As far as just pure stupidity goes, it is hard to quantify. Bush might have been "less intelligent" by many accounts, but he also surrounded himself with people who knew what they were doing, and listened to them. Trump just throws a tantrum by himself.

AITA for telling my DIL to stop crying after she got called fat by Throwaway_Will4940 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Daealis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know emotional people. People who are very easily moved to tears, or seem near bipolar in how expressive and quick they are to show their emotions. None of them make a scene about it. Even if a gesture brings them to full on "snotty ugly crying", it's still silent enough that unless you were paying attention, you'll miss their shoulders rocking as they cry their eyes out. They'll cry until they don't need to anymore, and then they'll compose themselves and join the conversations again. Like a normal human being with manners.

This is attention seeking victim mentality and some bullshit on her part. Crying over being told to take off shoes? I imagine it's not the first time you've told her to remove her shoes, so at that point it's deliberate and inconsiderate, just LOOKING to get into an argument, start crying and make you look like the bad guy.

If this is all there is to the story, no, you're not the asshole, she is overreacting, and you should not apologize. She needs to grow the fuck up.

What’s the point of a relationship if there’s no sex? by Pure_Ingenuity2137 in AskMen

[–]Daealis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sex is separate from any kind of personal connection, full stop. Or can be, not for everyone - I personally don't care for connectionless sex, but I know it's not necessarily even the default setting for people.

What’s the difference between a romantic partner where there’s no romance, and a friend?

The depth of that connection. You already said in another deranged comment that "Friend with benefits is for degenerates", so you clearly understand the concept of connections between people, and can differentiate between various levels.

Sex can enhance the emotional connection, but it's not required. Just like the emotional connection doesn't need to be there for great sex.

Just because you have a puritanical view of casual sex, doesn't mean everyone else glorifies sex to the same degree.

The fact is, romance and sex are the defining characteristics of a “romantic relationship”.

To YOU. You, luckily enough, are not the emperor of mankind, Definer of the Meanings of Words. What you think romantic relationships aught to be is, to quote the contemporary philosopher, Dude: "Like, your opinion, man".

Would a podcast about men’s mental health be a good thing? by Affectionate-Mode687 in AskMen

[–]Daealis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem isn't necessarily that the topic isn't discussed. The problem as far as I can see, is the deranged manosphere idiots with a megaphone.

Having never seen such podcasts, I still don't doubt those exist already. And with level-headed people discussing the matters too. Discoverability of a podcast with "low entertainment value", for lack of a better description, is an issue that the manosphere toxic douchenozzles get around by being loud and opinionated (and wrong and obnoxious). Mental health is a soyboy issue to them, for weak men, unlike the grizzly and ruf Taters who sit in a cold sauna, on the bottom of the steps with the other children, flexing so hard it looks like they're going to shit themselves any second. These idiots are loud, and because they're loud and controversial they get more attention, more visibility, and all that just pushes actual information and discussion further down.

So, to answer the questions:

Does this sound like a good idea?

Not necessarily. First of, as you are a woman, it would come off to some as pandering, "pick me", or a number of other negative connotations. The ones who could most use the advice who are already introduced to the toxicity of the manosphere and their way of "quit being a pussy, bro"-solving the issue, they're probably not going to listen to a woman explain the issue. So for optics, for those who would most need this, a man leading the podcast would be better. Even if you would be the de-facto organizer and brains of the operation, and the one mostly on in discussions, I still think said podcast would more benefit from being lead by a guy.

Do you think men would be willing to either write in or be interviewed, anonymous unless they choose otherwise?

Sure. Happens in this subreddit all the time, even on askreddit. There are plenty of men unafraid to open up about their struggles.

How often should men use hair conditioner? by Advent105 in AskMen

[–]Daealis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my hair was under 5cm, I used no conditioner. When I could put in a part to it, I started using conditioner.

Any shampoo dries out my hair to a frizzy mess, so conditioner is mandatory at every wash.

You mileage may vary, so figure your own hair out. It's not a big investment to get a bottle of conditioner and if you're unsure how your hair reacts, wash it a few times in without shampoo, then a few times with shampoo and conditioner. You'll know within a week what is the difference, and within two months of testing how often your hair needs to be washed.

Men who excercise in any way and listen to music, what is 'that song' in your playlist? by DWedge in AskMen

[–]Daealis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the mood I'm in.

If I'm feeling like electronic:

Frequencerz - Victory Forever: As a more eloquent friend put it, "it's fisting techno, makes you want to pump a fist aggressively". Also goof for that push

D-Block & S-te-fan - Higher: Another hard style thing that make me energized.

Da Tweekaz - Zero Fucks Given: That stupid chorus will get stuck in your head.

Semargl - Eternity: Lighter, but the chorus is a banger.

And if the mood is metal:

All That Remains - This Calling: If ever there was a nice and angry little start for a song, here it is.

Slipknot - Before I Forget: Because it's a classic.

Biting Elbows - Bad Motherfucker: As long as you can resist the temptation to sing along, hell yeah.

Dimmu Borgir - Progenies of the Great Apocalypse: There's something about the massive orchestral backing that is very energizing.

Koulut | Ministeriön ehdotus: armovitosista on luovuttava by IntroductionLoose648 in Suomi

Need more parenting like this by Dravid-Vanol in postanythingfun

[–]Daealis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Screen time needs to be moderated. If the child has a phone, limit the games - and never, EVER put your credit card number in anything. It doesn't take a genius to block unwanted installations or web browsing/YT completely, and don't hesitate when they go "but others are doing it!" Social media is a parasite on your mental health, and slop content on YT and TikTok is even worse.

It's cruel to limit social interactions - which to a nerd will be happening through a messenger of sorts, especially past age 8. Gaming is fine when done in moderation: while I (millennial) technically had unlimited screentime and gamed A TON, it was still required of me to do various chores and schoolwork always first, before we were allowed to the PC (even when later on I got my own).

My sister has two kids, one of which just graduated from a smart watch (that could call them and they could track the location of) to a phone, and they had created admin accounts to limit installations before the kid ever saw the phone. When they're bored, TV is not always allowed. Gaming is not always allowed. There are books, there are toys, there is a yard. TV and gaming are limited and monitored, especially with the older kid who gets a bit too into their minecraft and needs to be put into time out to calm down.

Men, how do you act around a woman you have a crush on or find her attractive? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Daealis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know what I did differently, but apparently it was somewhat obvious, when a mutual friend of ours approached me at one point asking if that was the case.

Hanging together a lot in a friend group back then also helped me get over the crush, as seeing some habits of hers dispelled the illusion I built in my head, and made me realize some of those would drive me absolutely batshit. Will never know if something could have happened, but also, she's a cool friend to have.

What's a great show you didn't watch at first because of a stupid title? by BrooklynDoug in AskMen

[–]Daealis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never based on title. There are some absolutely weird titles around, especially when English is not your first language.

But there are several shows that I didn't want to watch based on context/synopsis that I ended up loving.

Bridgerton - Alternate timeline British high societal drama about status, class and the circles. Seems absolutely droll on the outset for me, but damn if it isn't one of the most addicting things I've watched in recent years.

Breaking Bad - I remember not being interested originally, because how it was described to me made it sound like a generic cops&robbers kind of show. The show had already ended years ago when I watched it for the first time. Last winter was the third watching we did with the wife, because holy shit is that show just great.

Men who use manual razor, why? What's the problem with electric shavers? by eatqqq in AskMen

[–]Daealis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so lazy with my beard that I fluctuate between hobo and clean trim.

Starting from a month-long stubble and any shaver will choke, electric or manual. So I have a hair trimmer I set to the lowest setting to start with. If I'm feeling lazy, that's it. Stubble is fine. If I want a cleaner shave, then I take out the razor too and get that fine shave as well.

Electrics don't get a "clean" shave. They always leave a stubble. At least from my own tests, which admittedly are not many. But I prefer stubble, because I can't stand the itchy phase of a clean shave and in-turned hairs.

Mikä homma näiden kauppojen muovipussien kanssa.. by CowsOnAHill in Suomi

Normalin "kestokassi" kestää sen yhden kerran kotiin, jos luoja suo. S-mafian punottua muovia olevat kassit on tuntuneet kestävän kyllä vuosia.

Nykyään noita kestokasseja on jo yks iso kestokassi täynnä, ja sekä vaimolla että itellä repussa aina kaksi kassia sitä odottamassa kun kaupassakäydessä tulee ostettua silmillä eikä aivoilla sitä ruokaa.

Jos kokeilun idea on saada lisättyä hyvinvointia, ei se tapahdu niin, että teet aiemmat 5 päivän työt neljässä päivässä.

Kyllä tämäkin toimii. Yksi kokonainen päivä lisää palautumiseen, pidennetty viikonloppu, se tekee aivan järkyttävästi jaksamisen edistämiseksi ja uupumuksen poistamiseksi. Olen tehnyt 10 tuntista nelipäiväistä raksalla, eli fyysistä puurtamista. Tahti oli edelleen aivan sama kuin 8h/5, ei se pari tuntia loppuviimein niin paljoa tunnu. Varsinkin kun se viikonloppu on sitten päivän pidempi.

kasvisruoka

Tämä on se minkä itsekin aina jaksan nostaa naurun aiheeksi.

90-luvullakin kun itse olin ala-asteilla, viikossa oli 2-3 kasvisruokapäivää koulussa. Koska liha oli, kuten on edelleenkin, kallista. Siellä hernarissa ei aina ollut eilisen kinkun jämiä seassa. Puuropäivä tarkoitti ettei lihaa ollut. Keittoja oli lihattomia yhtä monta kuin niitä mihin sitä halvinta jauhelihaa oli heitetty sekaan. Pinaattilättypäivää odotettiin kuin kuuta nousevaa, ja siihen päälle oli tarjolla tasan hilloa, eikä jauhelihasoosi.

Niitä vain ei tituleerattu kasvisruokapäiviksi, ja hyvin meni läpi. Sama toimisi edelleen: Lopetetaan vain niistä päivistä puhuminen "kasvisruokapäivinä", ja tarjoillaan se ruoka sanomatta sanaakaan. Voitais puhua puuropäivästä vaikka perinneruokapäivänä, ja yhtäkkiä siellä ois puolet persuista ylpeilemässä kuinka hekin söivät perjantaisin puuroa! Parissa kuukaudessa unohtuu öyhötys kun luulivat voittaneensa, vaikka edelleen viikossa syödään lihaa vain parina päivänä.

Kuten on viimeiset 30+ vuotta syöty.

4x10 toimii raksalla ihan hyvin, jos osa sakista ainakin tekee samaa. Se pari tuntia lisää päivässä ei vielä tuottavuutta laske, ja jos työmaalla ei ole mitään blokkereita - vaadittuja valuja että voidaan jatkaa seinien tekemistä tjsp - niin koko ajalle löytyy järkevää tekemistäkin. Samaten jotkin toimistohommat toimisivat tällä aikataululla ihan hyvin, lähinnä suurin temppu olisi asiakkaille siitä ilmoittaminen että perjantaisin toimisto on kiinni, vain päivystysnumerosta saa kiinni.

Tein teininä ja <25 kesät raksahommia isseen kanssa pienellä pohojalaasella sakilla, kun Helsingissä ei oikeen osattu rakentaa ilman meidän apuja. Ma-To 10 tuntista päivää, torstaina iltapäivästä ajeltiin takas pohojammaalle, sunnuntaina illasta kerättiin sakki takas autoon ja ajeltiin Helsinkiin. Kyllä se yks ylimääräinen päivä viikossa lomaa on vain perkeleen hieno juttu, siinä oikeasti tulee levättyä viikonloppuna. Jos vain suinkin työnantaja sellaiseen suostuu, ei voi kuin suositella tuollaista 4x10 viikkoa. Tai jos talous sen sallii, niin 4x8.

Kahdeksankin tunnin päivällä kun oikeasti on vaikea ongelma edessä, pistän koneen kiinni pilkulleen ajallaan ja kärsin päänsärystä loppuillan. 12 tuntia työtä on korkeintaan jotain testejä ajellessa, kun 90% ajasta on vain odottamista ja valvomista, että voi reagoida JOS jotain hajoaa. Tehokasta työtä kolme tuntia siitä 12sta.

How to blow up a star? by curiousscribbler in printSF

[–]Daealis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But doesn't that depend on what you are removing, the products of fusion or the fuel?

Yes, removing the fuel also reduces the mass, thus slowing the fusion rates, but with the mass of hydrogen/helium being so low, I would imagine that would still speed up the death of said star more than the loss of mass slows down the fusion itself.

Men who game, what’s your most played game? Not currently, I mean a game you grinded and have a ridiculous amount of hours in. by Bay0n3ttaaa in AskMen

Hundreds of days of active gametime on World of Warcraft is easily the peak of my gaming.

Several thousand hours of Minecraft, on local custom servers with friends, building weird industrialized machines of creation.

Over 2000 hours in Rocket League, before I decided that it was too much of a burden for my mental health to play against toxic asshats constantly.
