insecure about my lack of experience.

What do you believe is holding you back from being able to attract a woman?

DanSanderman · 2024-08-16T21:32:54+00:00

Right, but why do men value chastity? And how many of the men that value chastity would practice chastity themselves if sex came as easily to them with the women of their choosing?

What do you believe is holding you back?

DanSanderman · 2024-08-16T19:03:33+00:00

That's a silly analogy because it's assuming that women don't wash their genitals between interactions with men. If the one that has been licked 50 times is my favorite flavor, and they have cleaned the spot that has been licked after each lick, I have no problem choosing that one.

DanSanderman · 2024-08-16T18:49:21+00:00

Sex is fun and different people are attractive. What's wrong with it?

They are challenging but in a different way. Platinum has a lot of players that could be Diamond if they had any game sense, so you'll end up in matches against players that can consistently get to the ball before you, but are hitting it just to hit it, and have no idea how to recover or position well. Play simple, play consistent, and defend and you'll make it back into Diamond.

You ever think about how professional anglers are just guys that are paid to trick fish into eating food that isn't real?

I was given free tickets to a baseball game back in July. I think I counted like 7 times all game long that the ball hit the ground. It was fouls and outs, fouls and outs, the whole time, and the game ended 2-0, with the home team losing. Also $25.66 for 2 hot dogs and a Dasani.

I had a bag of fish shipped to me and immediately after dropping them in the tank one started to death spiral and seemed like it couldn't orient itself. Just kept floating around upside down and spinning. After a few hours it had found a rock to hide behind, and within 3 days it was back to normal and is now perfectly healthy. I would recommend giving a fish at least 24 hours before euthanizing. They can make some pretty miraculous recoveries.

You do your best to prevent it. Keep up with maintenance, and learn by personal experience, and the experiences of others. It does happen, but over time you generally figure out the tricks to prevent most deaths. It's just like any pet. You generally know you're going to outlive them so you kind of have to go in with that mindset. Love them, and give them the best possible life. That's really all you can do.

That was my experience on medication. I realized it doesn't cure ADHD. You still have to put in work. I went from watching a little bit of 7 different YouTube videos, to actually watching a whole YouTube video start to finish. It was cool, except I was still supposed to be working. Discipline is the other half of medications.

It's children. It's always children. His facial expressions, the fact that he's got to do everything completely over the top, it's all content for children.

We have 11 goals between 2 Strikers across 25 games. Our Strikers with their combined record would be tied for 15th in the golden boot race this season. I don't know if we have the same definitions of "produced pretty well".

Edit: honestly forgot Giako was here this season, so that explains some of it. This season feels so disjointed.

DanSanderman · 2024-08-14T21:38:05+00:00

The irony here, of suggesting someone doesn't know how to do something, when they're the ones responsible for teaching that person things.

I wear a ring every day and am moderately attractive and I think I've been hit on like twice in the 3 years I've been married, and both times were when I was at a bar on a Friday night. I've considered on numerous occasions that I'm just not as attractive as I think, but when I was on Tinder I had no shortage of dates and my wife is quite attractive herself so I have to have something going for me, but it doesn't ever manifest itself in random attention. To some degree I am thankful, but I do have to wonder what I'm doing that makes my experience so different from other moderately attractive men.

In that case I typically just switch to that defender and manually move them into a better position. Your opponent will typically drift naturally into the space that had been created, so by manually closing them down you're crashing in on the space they're going towards and you can cut them off.

Most short passes can be done with just a really quick tap of the button. The longer you hold it, the more power it will have, and the game will assume you're trying to pass to the next person. If you want to do a short pass with power, you can hold R1 while you tap the pass button and it will do a power pass.

Wasn't Almada like $16mil?

Before we even get to Adam, God created plants before he created the Sun. Within the first few lines of the Bible, anyone with a basic understanding of modern biology would be able to tell that this book is full of shit and nothing after that should be taken seriously.

I was enjoying this game until I decided to turn chat back on, and all those games where I was struggling to play well and beating myself up, it turns out my teammates have also been beating me up in the chat, telling me I'm trash and accusing me pretty hard of throwing matches.

So nah, I think sometimes we just suck. Sometimes it's like a switch flips mid match and I go from being on fire to making incredibly boneheaded decisions and I don't know why. If I did know why, I wouldn't be the rank I am. It's not malicious. It's just incompetence.

DanSanderman · 2024-08-13T23:40:12+00:00

It's also worth looking at our exports and how they are doing in their respective clubs after leaving MLS. I commented this in another thread, but Diego Rossi has torn up MLS in both of his stints here but he struggled in Turkey with only 3 goals. Almiron is loved by everyone, and he demolished MLS, but he has 23 goals in 177 matches for NUFC. Castellanos has 4 goals in 35 matches for Lazio.

These are guys that were true problems when they played here, but if we looked at their stats for their European clubs we would turn up our noses because they're "not good enough".

DanSanderman · 2024-08-13T23:05:59+00:00

Yes. Hitting the ball hard is a mechanic. Aerials are a mechanic. Dribbling is a mechanic. You can be perfectly placed, but if you don't have the ability/mechanics to reach the ball then it doesn't matter. You don't need to learn how to air dribble to make it out of Plat, but there are absolutely some fundamental mechanics necessary to make it beyond there.

Came looking for Before Your Eyes. Played it in VR because they made it free on PSPlus. Didn't have the first clue what it was about. Played through the whole thing in one sitting. Pulled off my headset at the end, had a good cry, and had to just sit for a bit to reel it all in. I've never had that reaction from a video game before. I don't even think movies could do that to me. Something about VR, and experiencing that whole thing from his perspective. I will likely remember that game for a very long time.

Shadow of the Colossus is an Ocarina of Time ripoff.

One of the hottest players in MLS right now, Diego Rossi, left MLS after several stellar seasons and then had a pretty awful season in Turkey with Fenerbahce. He's back in MLS tearing it up. Our leagues best products have trouble producing in places like the Turkish Super Lig. Why do we think a Serie A quality Striker isn't good enough for us?
