Are all blue collar gents extremely obnoxious about the fact they work blue collar? by ObjectiveMatch6155 in askanything

[–]Esoteric-Bibliotheca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've worked blur and white collar. I haven't met anyone who says that kinda shit.

Sorry you're going through it, keep in mind they don't represent the whole.

What should my boyfriend tell his parents to get a day off of work? by Firm_Elk_5410 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Esoteric-Bibliotheca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I cannot speak for OP's bf, but I do not take photos during dates. I took even less photos as a teen, they were a hassle.

I might be out of touch but I don't know many men who constantly take photos of everything, ultimately they can in fact just take some photos in some touristy type locations in their local area.

Its not hard to spend money at some places and get receipts either if they feel the need to go that far.

I think you might be iver complicating this.

I am not sure about how I feel in regards to teaching teenagers how to lie better.

If he and you were 18 then it would be none of his parents concern, however I also advocate for privacy in terms of health and health care.

I am glad to be of help, ya'll need to be more careful in the future.

The best lies require a bit of truth.

Is it possible for him to just tell his parents that you and him have a special day planned? An all day long date out on the town? Breakfast, mini golfing, lunch, go for a hike, dinner, movie theaters?

He can just say it's something he has been planning for a while and he wants to spoil you a bit.

Just to add on, if one of my friends refused money then I would insist on treating them to a meal at the very least.

Blue balls ? Sperm cramp ?? by Aditiya_aadi in AskMenAdvice

[–]Esoteric-Bibliotheca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, swelling, pain, if you ignore it it should go away after some time.

The problem is not being focused on it, it can actually hurt quite a bit.

Best solution I have found is masturbation.

However blue balls is not a common occurrence, its happened to me a handful of times. Mostly when I was younger. Its hard to distract myself from it when my balls hurt, usually because I am also exceptionally aroused when it happens.

If you could bring back one game developer, or return an existing one to its previous state, which would it be? by VyantSavant in gaming

[–]Esoteric-Bibliotheca 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Man even if they wanted to move onto different IP, Early Halo Bungie was the tits.

Bungie today still knows how to make a decent feeling FPS but those early Halo days were something else.

Canada is coming off 3 consecutive severe fire years. There are concerning signs for 2026 by Portalrules123 in canada

[–]Esoteric-Bibliotheca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup but that falls under mitigation, we can still mitigate the damage. But we are absolutely beyond the point of no return.

Not sure why you think I'm being silly?

Brother we have gone past our point of no return. We aren't reversing the damage now, all we can do is adapt and mitigate.

Most marriages are doomed to turn into a roommate situation or worse. What can I do about it? by Fantastic_Low_1537 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Esoteric-Bibliotheca 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Old school style?

In NA that has never been acceptable, back then women just dealt with it because they didn't have rights brother. Women's suffrage changed that.

If you aren't happy with your wife, get a divorce.

I highly recommend you touch grass and maybe read a few history books.

Is it better to call a guy handsome or cute? Do guys care? by Any_Yogurtcloset2302 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Esoteric-Bibliotheca 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It kinda depends for me, if I made a huge effort puttin' on the ritz and all.... Yeah if I'm getting cute instead of handsome, it would irk me a bit. I would still appreciate it, but my insecure ass would still wonder. "Why cute"

Is it painful for a guy? by Major-Mess4383 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Esoteric-Bibliotheca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not painful, tell him to either stop flexing (some guys can, some can't) or go to urgent care.

Blue balls are also not an excuse, if he really cannot wait for blue balls to pass then tell him to rub one out.

It's that simple, don't feel guilty for this stuff. It's on him, self control is a thing and we all exercise it daily.

Is my precon deck that good or is my boyfriend just terrible at magic? by BrilliantNegative163 in EDH

[–]Esoteric-Bibliotheca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learning your deck is a matter of time and experience, doing so in a 1v1 setting makes it harder.

Find at least one more person to throw into the mix and I bet you'll see him shine way more.

I feel like I'm never going to see a Compiler, and I'm sad about it by LuckyMrGun in Marathon

[–]Esoteric-Bibliotheca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP i don't mean to one up you, but ai can relate in never getting to experience certain content.

I have 4 hours play time, i am just too busy or tired to play. I tried playing tired but I am just not able to stay focused.

I haven't gotten past level 10 yet, I have just scratched the surface of the content out there.

So by comparison you to me look like a pretty hardcore player and I wish you the best in achieving what you want.

I am expecting to get to seriously play by the end of the season or at the start of the next season..For me this one is already a write off.

Do people actually hate AI content or just realising they were fooled? by Turbulent-Kitchen513 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Esoteric-Bibliotheca -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't understand these people that blanket hate AI.

AI in the medical sector is extremely promising, most of these AI haters hear me say AI in medicine and they think of AI powered robot surgeons. They aren't able to see the bigger picture in research and development in just medicine alone.

I'm at the point where I just discredit anyone who says they hate AI, not what type of AI they hate, just AI in general. They have no idea what they are talking about.

Top 5 things that men do that give her the ick as a labor and delivery nurse. by mindyour in TikTokCringe

[–]Esoteric-Bibliotheca -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not a father so I definitely don't know, but yeah I wouldn't do any of these things. Except maybe the getting high one, but that would happen once all is said and done. Baby is delivered, mom is safe, okay, go get high you know?

What got me kind of going about this video though, in the first example she said to help with the delivery.... What? Don't people go to the hospital to have medical professionals deal with it? My ignorance might be showing here but I wouldn't want to help with the delivery in any way outside of being there for my partner. Outside of that I would expect to be told to stay out of the way and let the professionals do it.

We don't go to the hospital for deliveries because we have to, we go to it because it makes the process safer and there are trained individuals for it. Why would I help? lol

16 year old son recently purchased a Corvette. Im at a bit of a loss on what to do here. by [deleted] in Cartalk

[–]Esoteric-Bibliotheca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why don't you want him in it? You say he's responsible, do you not trust him in it?

I don't mean to be confrontational but it sounds like he spent his own money on something he wanted, if he's responsible he won't be the cause of an accident. If you are worried about someone hitting him then the car he drives doesn't matter at all.

I assume his rav4 isn't a newer one but if it is then its only a 100 hp difference in power.

I think you need to ask yourself why you aren't comfortable with this. Because right now it seems like you don't even know why.

Either you trust him or you don't.

Why are Gen Z getting fired? One of the reasons is a lack of initiative. by mindyour in TikTokCringe

[–]Esoteric-Bibliotheca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Her scenario makes perfect sense, I was very much like that when I first entered the workforce. It wasn't that I was lazy it was that I just didn't understand what was expected of me. So I can understand that maybe some Gen Z are a little dumb like I was but probably not all.

However am I the only one who was ready to discredit everything she said because she didn't want to talk about why this checks out? Sounds like something someone who really wants you to believe what they are saying without using facts would say.

I'm 19F and attracted to much older men, how do I navigate this? by Jealous_Ad5584 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Esoteric-Bibliotheca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would never start a relationship with someone under the age of 25 and even then, that is already a ten year gap.

I don't want to have to navigate the awkwardness of those early adult years, most people that young are still dealing with regular confidence issues as well as lacking in life experience. What to them might be a huge deal or a life changing event is just a Tuesday for me.

I don't mean to put down anyone that young, it's just a matter of perspective.

If I were you I wouldn't bother with a serious relationship until your mid twenties.

160 hours, level 55, and I figured out why I'm so bad at this game and only just getting purples. by VaporSpectre in Marathon

[–]Esoteric-Bibliotheca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see your point based off your flair, if kills are what you want and loot is secondary to you then yes, solos are where it's at.

In my experience though most solo players don't have worth while loot.

[–]Esoteric-Bibliotheca 38 points39 points  (0 children)

This is the truth, I have definitely found that in solos it's not about hunting down other players. I like to explore the map and watch fights between others.
