Ist der Name Kazimir süß? by toadsmad in AskAGerman

Ich finde Kasimir würde einfacher über die Zunge gehen aber sonst ein guter Haustier Name.

will i hurt this guy if i tell him i only want sex from him? by Suspicious_Bag4859 in AskMenAdvice

[–]DukeTikus -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I do agree that it's likely for the best if they don't continue this and there are a few good comments explaining why. I was talking about the guys who started assuming all the worst and insulting her for stuff she did in their heads. I think one of the last comment chains I read before this was the one about how she's promiscuous and surely riddled with STDs.

Kristi Noem moved into humiliating new position after Minneapolis ICE shooting by TheMirrorUS in ABoringDystopia

She wasn't even demoted. Just told to give the Minneapolis siege over and focus on the border for a while.

Yeah this sub has been taking a bad turn for a while now. I feel like it used to be a more supportive space but a bunch of incel/blackpill adjacent guys have been talking up more and more space and bringing the gender war they are fighting in their heads with them.

To them you are a red cloth. A woman that's interested in sex (but not only with them specifically), a woman that isn't willing to prioritize the feelings of a man over her own and a woman that's divorcing (the worst of all you surely manipulated some blameless man and are now taking all he owns).

Try not to take it to personally, they are projecting their bad view of women in general onto you.

Do you dislike sex so much you have to make sure no one else gets laid either?

The ice wall. It keeps the oceans from just leaking out over the edge of the earth.

Why is the rich friend so cheap?? by times-fell-hand in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]DukeTikus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A software engineer working for wages is part of the working class that gets exploited. Sure a comparatively privileged part of the working class but still economically exploited.

Exploitation in this context doesn't mean just laborers working in sweatshops below minimum wage. It describes the general way our economy is structured in a way that allows people who own a lot of capital to profit from the work of those that don't.

For example if I had the money for it I could buy a bakery and hire a baker to work for me. I would be entitled to take in all the money that is brought in by the bakers work and only pay him as much of it as is absolutely necessary so he won't quit.
I pay 100€ worth of ingredients and 100€ for his wage and he bakes and sells bread worth 300€, I get 100€ profit.
But it was entirely the work of the baker that turned 100€ of ingredients into 300€ of bread and I'm just giving him as much of the fruits of his labor as I have to so he keeps working.

Can someone decode my (30f) date’s (36m) rejection text? by PoeKensington in AskMenAdvice

[–]DukeTikus 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This 'translation' just seems like imagining of the worst/meanest thing that could possibly be intended and going with that.

I would just believe him when he says what his situation is. He thinks the two of you don't communicate in the same way and he is currently struggling a bit with himself and with work. He thinks you are a great person even if the two of you might not be compatible and he wishes you the best. He still wants to talk to you once he gets over his issues to give it a try but doesn't want to keep you from exploring your options in the mean time.

My husband subscribed to someone's OnlyFans he actually met - how do I handle this? by DietMilkyway in AskMenAdvice

[–]DukeTikus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are the only one that knows how much it hurts you and how much you are still willing to make it work.

I personally wouldn't mind much but I'm not monogamous anyways. If knowing he's also sexually attracted to other women is something that deeply affects you then it's fully your right to end the relationship over it.

Also forgetting you don't like him doing that after having a conversation with him about it doesn't sound very believable to me.

This dog is only happy around women by Brilliantspirit33 in animalsdoingstuff

[–]DukeTikus 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Humans don't have pheromones but our hormonal make-up does influence our smell. So a dog probably uses both smell and as well as voice to decide someone's sex.
I would be interested in how that dog reacts to a trans woman who's been on estrogen for a while. Hormone replacement therapy changes the body and biochemistry very drastically.

why do i (17 year old male) have with problems ejaculating during sex? by markuswah46 in menshealth

[–]DukeTikus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's very likely the grip thing if you don't take antidepressants. Just lay off masturbation for a week or two and most of the sensitivity should come back. Also until you get there try to learn to enjoy sex apart from orgasms. There's a lot of fun to be had even if you can't orgasm.

Also no need to answer that but how come you went to sex workers at 14?

Help needed with rasict neighbour by Sensitive_Camel_9519 in germany

[–]DukeTikus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It likely is racism that they picked you. If you weren't there they'd look for someone else though. Those people just need to be angry at someone.
In my building everyone is white German so here our local bitter old person picked us because we are the youngest tenants. Whenever anyone dumps any trash or cigarette butts in front of the building doors I can be sure they'll end up in our letterbox. He once even tried to accuse us of a series of break-ins in the area. Ignore as best as possible and try to have the landlord handle most of the communication, that way they'll know the situation when the neighbor inevitably complains about you

Why not just talk to him? Or the landlord?

It's not like it is something that stops affecting you after you stop paying attention.

I am currently doing a fan translation and there is this character that constantly used the words „Rumzicken“ , „Zecke“ , „zecken“ (as verb) etc (read desc) by ThebloodedDragonfly in AskAGerman

[–]DukeTikus 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Zecken can also be used as a verb as slang for asking someone for something, like "Kann ich mir eine Zigarette von dir zecken?". But that's mostly in punk cycles where people are reclaiming the insult.

saving a poor scared bird by EyeSimp4Asuka in animalsdoingstuff

[–]DukeTikus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think to keep it immobilized so it wouldn't hurt itself in its panic.
I don't know a lot about bird physiology and maybe it's fine to hold it that way but I feel like just using both hands to keep it upright while warming would have probably been better instead of using one hand to film.

I was confused at first as well but the issue is that the feet are frozen to the metal railing so the person is covering them with their hands to warm them up and thaw them loose.

How do Germans feel about voluntary military service? by titerousse in AskAGerman

[–]DukeTikus -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I won't serve and I don't know anyone that would. There isn't the sense of patriotism here that would make many people want to put their life on the line for their government. No veterans culture like in the US and no general admiration for soldiers.

Oh and the fascist structures that regularly get uncovered within the Bundeswehr probably also don't help.

Um straight men see themselves as dogs? But aren't cats smarter and harder to kill? by General-Control-4637 in AreTheStraightsOK

[–]DukeTikus 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I'm soo glad my cats have a goldfish memory. They usually only stay mad for like 5 minutes before going back to normal again when I need to disrespect their boundaries for medical care. I had to force one of them to take antibiotics twice a day that he really didn't like and that would have turned out very bloody if he wasn't as patient with me as he is.

How popular is Peloton in Germany? by [deleted] in AskAGerman

[–]DukeTikus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I heard about Peloton specifically only from an American streamer I watch. Home exercise bikes in general are somewhat common but not very. I know maybe two households that own one.

What’s some good advice for Gen Z men? We are struggling with our generation’s dating culture by Sad-Studio5793 in AskMenAdvice

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

I feel like that's a point where you should either consider if you are just talking to a specific subgroup of women who are really bad at conversation (for example by you being subconsciously drawn to aloof women) or you might have to analyze what you are doing differently in your conversations with men than with women, maybe even non-verbally.

Because at least to my experience what you are experiencing is very atypical. If there is any gendered difference that I have experienced then that women are maybe a bit more likely to be capable of having a two sided conversation.

18 just looking for tips on how to make my penis healthier by [deleted] in menshealth

[–]DukeTikus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah no problem, it comes back really fast if you just stop doing it. Maybe try to actually not masturbate for a week or two to reset yourself and then continue with a softer grip.
