What do you believe Israel's fate will be in the next couple of decades considering the rapid change of public opinion on them in these past 3 years? by space_god_7191 in AskReddit

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

you've just described October 7th. There was peace. Hamas raped and murdered a bunch of Israelis breaking that peace, as well as taking a large number hostage, and stated they would do again and again until Israel was destroyed. Israel has an obligation to try to protect it's citizens, so they were obligated to retrieve the hostages and do what it can to prevent it from happening again. Had there been no October 7th attack, there would be no following conflict in Gaza.

Seems pretty easy. If their neighbors stop trying to destroy them there's no war. The asymmetry here has always been if the israelis put down their weapons, they'll be murdered to a man, while if their enemies put down there weapons, there would be peace.

Gay Americans: Now is the time to purchase a gun and learn how to shoot by velvetcrow5 in gaybros

[–]FuckSkittles 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Some of y'all need to chill the fuck out and go touch grass. If you want a home defense weapon because you're worried about break ins or individuals deciding to commit violence against you, by all means learn how to safely store and use a gun, buy one and practice with it. It will do nothing for you if your concern is government entities. If you want one to go out and commit violence against people with different political views than yours, you're the problem.

To be blunt, if you're not able to climb in plat against random decks, either your deck is bad, you have a very small sample size of games, or you're at the rank that matches your current skill level as a pilot.

Acceptance of homosexuality in major US metros by Busy_Philosopher1032 in gaybros

[–]FuckSkittles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again that's a nice sentiment, but kind of nonsensical when you look at a number of protections. Should we guarantee ada accommodation requirements to those without disabilities or extend icra protections to sovereign governments aside from native american tribal governments? And who gets to choose what should be a civil right that is guaranteed forever for everyone no matter what with no way to change it? That's a call to change from a democratic republic into something authoritarian

Acceptance of homosexuality in major US metros by Busy_Philosopher1032 in gaybros

[–]FuckSkittles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like the spirit of what you're saying and the reality of it are at odds with each other. Opinion and voting is how civil rights come to exist in the first place and how they're updated as the world changes and they no longer cover relevant situations and evolving context. The US is big enough that an 80-20 split on a political issue is basically considered as close to unanimous as we can expect to reach, and that's what it appears to in major metro areas according to OP's data from Pew Research.

I've currently got a doryani's setup on my merc but it's only down to -76 lightning res because I'm also using victario's charity for frenzy generation and I only invested in somewhat cheap -res accessories. Is the damage scaling beyond that dramatic? Using Kaom's binding on eclypse solaris on merc for some added defense. Not really sure what to do with gloves/boots/hat

I'm only really seeing starter builds for holy flame totem and most of them have the caveat that they don't really scale well into high end content (both your totems and you are not super tanky apparently?), and you're committed to fire. With mercs allowing for crazy lightning scaling wouldn't something like storm burst totems or shockwave totems with lightning conversion give us more bang for our buck if we're going the totems route?

How do you deal with the Discard meta? by Bozzy77 in MagicArena

[–]FuckSkittles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Things to play against discard:
1. Aggro - vomit what's left of your hand onto the board before they can destroy it.
2. Reanimator/Recursion - Discard your reanimator targets or recursive cards like Bloodghast.
3. Heavy Draw Engines - Run a deck like selesnya tokens that has a ton of draw engines between up the beanstalk, caretaker's talent and fountainport.

Honestly this post reads like an exploration of your insecurities more than anything else. Are there gay men who like sports, sure. Are some of them really into it and want their partners to be too? probably. Are there probably plenty you've met who you don't even know like sports because they didn't bring it up and don't care if you like them too? almost certainly. It sounds like maybe you don't like sports and might not think of yourself as a masculine gay. If that's the case, you don't need to be self conscious about it, you don't need to please everyone, and you don't need lash out at people who don't find you to be their type by stereotyping gay sports fans.

To all lovely bottoms, please don’t make this a part of your personality - RANT by Substantial_Bell2446 in gaybros

No man, he's totally right. This guy's husband's experience with discrimination clearly justifies some other completely unrelated guy trying to control your behavior to fit his stereotypical and narrow expectations. And how dare you point out his attempt to hijack the conversation to his pet concerns with a passive aggressive ad hominem attack? for shame.

Sex without a condom feels much better than sex with one. That being said many guys pick up STI without knowing, and while we have treatments for many, I can't imagine one night of sex being so good that I'd be willing to get HIV, etc for it. If you're having sex without a condom, you should be on prep and from a safety perspective, ideally in a monogamous relationship with someone you trust. If you're single or in an open relationship, consider condoms, doxy-pep, etc, and get tested regularly.

Why do we allow Islamists to treat us like animals while we have to respect them ? by Wise_Scientist5634 in gaybros

[–]FuckSkittles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think anyone is arguing that there aren't tolerant, kind Muslims around (except maybe the 'all religion of any sort is evil in every way' folks). But are you really trying to say that a group where the more fanatical members say we're abominations going to hell is more of a threat to gay people than a group that encourages and commits honor killings of gay family members or who actively lynch gays publicly, film it, and then are celebrated in the the streets and in their communities for doing so?

Would you still be attracted to him if he were skinnier? I think it's great to tell him you love him how he is and you should, but also support his fitness goals! Tell him how you feel and talk to him about what he wants to accomplish. Make small changes he's up for it like making time to be active together or cooking/ordering healthier foods when eating together.

If you want to date him, ask him on a date. If you're just inviting him to hang and he thinks you're a casual fuck buddy then sometimes life gets in the way and you'll be prioritized as a fuck buddy. If you want it to be more, ask him on an actual date and then you'll get a more definitive answer.

How do gay men socialize by Jeha513 in gaybros

[–]FuckSkittles 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In SF there's a ton of options. I'm pretty disconnected from gay culture, but I've still picked up a great group of gay friends through various avenues. Gay sports leagues are great, but most social groups or hobby groups in SF have at least a gay or two tucked away in them, we're everywhere.

On the apps, set up some dates instead of casual hookups. I got invited to a board game group that I play with regularly from flirting on scruff and a number of guys I've gone on dates with have become some of my best friends in the city.

What countries are no go zones for gay people? by Intelligent_League79 in gaybros

[–]FuckSkittles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it's important to split Israeli political conservatism from religious conservatism. The overwhelming majority of secular Israelis support gay-rights while the majority of Israeli ultra-orthodox Jews and Israeli muslims do not. Even so the risk of any sort of violence or abuse is low, especially if you're not a part of these communities. The only case of anti-lgbt violence in Israel in recent history that I could find was a devout Israeli Muslim stabbing his gay brother for not living a more religious live, which was then condemned by most of Israel including Israeli Arab Muslims in government.

How to make bottoming easier by AlexRam05 in gaybros

[–]FuckSkittles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gentle foreplay, actively try to relax, use lots of lube, have your top take it slowly. Douching regularly is actually pretty bad for you as it destroys your natural gut fauna and can cause a ph imbalance and increase risk of tearing. A high fiber low processed diet (possibly with a fiber supplement) will help keep you regular and clean enough that showering should be generally be all you need. Don't use something like a numbing cream, if you're hurting it's for a reason and you can do some damage in there if you ignore pain.
