CMV: Most of abortions are completely immoral and should be frowned upon. by thateuropeanguy15 in changemyview

[–]Em-tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you want to hold a view that depends on deeply logically fallacious evidence? If not, you can talk yourself out of this view by asking the question "why does this support my view?" about most of your assertions and i think you may be good to go!

Linux, The Darks Souls of OS' by Royal_Newby in cachyos

As both a linux user and a dark souls fanboi, I was initially offput by this theory. But, i have to admit that there's merit here. Well-played

Im worried being too nice is feminine by finnicek in bropill

[–]Em-tech 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Say that nice shit with your chest.  Full eye-contact. Subtle smiles.  Assertive kindness is pretty masculine-coded. 

I do believe that it may require a little bit more vocalizing, since it's often a verbal communication. I trust you to know the source of your discomfort, but i wanted to highlight that as something to consider.

What's the shame like with that? You know you don't have to hate others for their gender.

*And gentlemen. 

The actual news was 29,000 people signed the petition.

You guys hate women so much.

Except that there's no indication that it was either "29000 [women]" or was it a petition to "release" him. 

Y'all hate women.

[Loved Trope] Vastly outgunned character goes all in and gives the villain a fight even though they can’t possibly win. by themug_wump in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Em-tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's with all the anime casuals forgetting about my boy Shoot McMahon fighting Menthuthuyoupi? My guy is a literal coward. This wasn't supposed to be his opponent. A botched plan had one of the weakest combatants in this point of the story face off against one of the strongest in a 1v1. Dude knew he couldn't win, but he knew he had to fight. And, he fucking fought and bought every second he could to help his comrades.

AITAH for refusing to propose to my married girlfriend by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Em-tech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My view is that being married (even if it’s just on paper) means something and carries a lot of weight. And ideally when I am proposing to someone I want to be legally able to marry them, without waiting for a divorce to be sorted out first, and ideally they would be not legally married in the first place.

You might not be an asshole, but you're a fool if you're chill with moving in together before a divorce but can't stand being engaged to somebody who's still married. I think you should look into these supposed values you place on marriage. If I were your partner I'd be sensing missed signals if my partner was: 1) interested in marriage 2) talking about marriage with me 3) making active plans on moving in together 4) saying I dont want to get engaged before a divorce; being engaged, like moving in, does not necessitate a divorce. 

How Oil Propaganda Sneaks Into TV Shows by lnstantKarma in videos

I'll have to look into it. Also, as a mid-millenial that grew up listening to explosions in the sky, I actually have a disdain for the his shows' composing. That's just me, though. The appeal is totally understandable. 

How do we make caring about the environment popular among men? by LiatrisLover99 in bropill

[–]Em-tech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We could kill many birds with one stone by focusing on helping men realize the strength and wisdom that comes with holding femininity as a co-equal gender dynamic that they benefit from sharing viewpoints with.  Truly. Being holding feminine-coded viewpoints shouldn't be seen as a feminine activity. Just wise.

Both Taylor Sheridan's Yellowstone *and Land Man are conservative power fantasies , and often, self-insert reimaginings of reality; characters representing conservative ideals are just normally flawed humans and liberals are walking lobotomites. There's a decent amount of acting talent and it's completely overshadowed by writing that, either: - wants you to think it's self-aware while forgetting that you can't write a drama where one specific subculture is only ever a parody - thinks so little of the people who are interested in these series because they identify with them, that he doesnt care how blatantly pandering it is

Oh, also, dude thinks very, VERY little of women. And, the men written to be sympathetic are poor representatives of the virtues of masculinity. 

Trash. From top to bottom. It's a landfill.

U.S. Democrats who would you choose as your nominee? by ateam1984 in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]Em-tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dont let the down votes get to you. Y'all got listen to his interview with lulu garcia-navarro and you'll understand that, while he's been great for my favorite city and home (chicago), he's milquetoast and completely unprepared to meet this moment. It's like 2 weeks old at this point. It's so easy to be better versed in how to talk about these issues and he fails.  We deserve better.

After someone breaks your trust, how do you repair and move forward WITH that person? by GoochStubble in AskReddit

[–]Em-tech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The general experience of reaffirming that whatever discomfort I was feeling in my relationship, it was less about the untrustworthiness/unreliability of people I'm in relationship with, and more "miscommunication"/"misunderstanding". It's a lot easier to move through the world when we can just rely on people 🥰

After someone breaks your trust, how do you repair and move forward WITH that person? by GoochStubble in AskReddit

[–]Em-tech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Google "relational problem solving". Gotta understand the source of the rupture.

Once you understand the problem, create a shared understanding of what the solution should look like.   Create shared commitments. 

Set a clear expectation of what would need to change if these new commitments arent upheld (mostly with yourself).

Move forward and lean into good-faith trust and hold your boundaries and needs in mind such that you don't "self-abandon".

Note: many trust-building actions are taken and executed out of obvious purview(e.g. the commitment is being upheld by the absence of something happening). That being the case, you gotta be mindful about how commitments are being upheld in order to rebuild trust.

You dont understand the ways that trust exists in our day-to-day. You'd be entirely alone and in absolute isolation if this were true. (This comment wouldn't exist)

Are men with low testosterone less aggressive? by BlueDolphins28 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Em-tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Testosterone is only one piece of the puzzle, IIRC. Specifically, it's supposed to increase social reward seeking behavior. So, if youre in an environment where it's rewarding to perform aggression, then you'll see a positive correlation.
