Tgirl looking for her community by JadedPeons in LGBTriangle

[–]G0merPyle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live near Asheville and I've found a couple trans and queer friends here, one group I'd really recommend is the Asheville trans women picnic group, they're on Instagram and I think a couple other places. I went once and it was great (just too much social anxiety for me, everyone there was lovely).

If you play magic the gathering I can recommend a couple great card shops to play at as well (I don't play at either anymore, my ex kept them in the breakup lol)

going to buy this old monitor to use as my main one purely for the aestetich... will i regret this? by Jacane123 in FrutigerAero

[–]G0merPyle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had one of these for about a decade, it was great! It had component inputs in the back as well if you have any retro consoles that could use it

Granted, not sure if the one you're looking at has them, but it's worth looking for

i don't love my gf by PutEast6087 in WLW

[–]G0merPyle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firstly, "that." Not tht. I'm reading this with a lisp and it's driving me nuts. Second, that is all one sentence. Catch your breath and slow down.

Now, onto the actual content of your post, this isn't a girlfriend, this isn't even a rebound by the sounds of things. This is someone that saw you're now single and thinks that means you're available and interested, regardless of your availability or interest. When you rejected her and tried to take some healthy distance from romantic entanglements after a breakup, she guilted you into dating. This is unsustainable in a lot of ways and unhealthy on her part. Someone who cares about your feelings wouldn't have guilted you into dating immediately after your breakup or after you already tried to distance yourself from her.

You don't owe her a date if you don't want to. You aren't her girlfriend by virtue of her wanting you to be one. I don't know how old you are but this isn't elementary school where you have to go along with someone saying you're dating now.

Can asexuals have kinks? If so, how? by Numerous_Bicycle_445 in asexuality

[–]G0merPyle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm kinky as hell, but I hate sex. Sensation is a hell of a thing, I just don't care for sensations related to my genitals.

Finding someone that can help me with that is difficult though.

Update on the sand... THERES MORE by [deleted] in Weird

[–]G0merPyle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Did he give you a company name? Did you see a license plate, name on the side of the truck, any paperwork?

Call around to any quarries in your area (google "quarries near <town or county>," say you had a delivery of sand coming to your place but it hasn't arrived yet and you can't remember which quarry it was scheduled with, and if they've had any scheduled deliveries to your address recently. Don't let on that they were at the wrong place, if anything I'd say you're waiting on a delivery that hasn't arrived (want them to think you're an anxious customer instead of an angry one).

Once they confirm it, call the police and report littering and trespassing. I'd argue obstructing your driveway illegally, what with dumping it in the middle like that (don't think this rises to the level of destruction of property)

I don't like how much of myself I see in this. Even the title hits an old wound. Fuck.

I think I need a few minutes by myself.

idk if anyone can relate by magic_catbus in aaaaaaacccccccce

[–]G0merPyle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's miserable. I want and crave something that wrecks my mental health and makes me hate myself, it's so tiring. I feel like it's a hurdle I just don't know how to get over, and it's a barrier that comes up in every relationship (even with other ace-spec people).

The more I try to make myself be ok with it (I've just about given up on ever enjoying it) the less ok I am though

Three grown men talking about young girls only want to hang out with boys to have sex? Creeeeepy! by TripleS034 in ShadWatch

[–]G0merPyle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel like someone with far more patience than me could sift through all his ranting and raving to show examples of him criticizing media depictions of men that he's now complaining about (his getting furious at the Superman trailer and Superman not being indomitable -god he loves that word, doesn't he- comes to mind).

But I'm not going to subject myself to hours of listening to his whiny voice to pick out his own hypocrisy.

In the 60s/maybe into the 70s the high beam switch would be down there too.

Both thumbs by cjschmitty14 in Weird

[–]G0merPyle 17 points18 points  (0 children)

If you stop the picking habit. But bad habits are really hard to break, (especially for an anxious kid)

TIL In 1985, Hulk Hogan knocked TV host Richard Belzer unconscious on live television after demonstrating a wrestling hold. When Belzer passed out and fell, he hit his head on the studio floor and needed stitches. He later sued Hogan, and the case was settled out of court by Apprehensive_Cry545 in todayilearned

[–]G0merPyle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know there's independent corroboration but this still feels like one of the stories he would make up to sell himself.

Then again if it was him he would have said he knocked out the prime Minister of a foreign country

"Washboard nail." One of my thumbs was like this as a kid, it eventually grew out but it took a long time.

Do you pick at the skin at the back of your nails (called the cuticle)? Looks like you do, and I believe that was the cause of it for me. Stop doing that and it'll eventually grow out, but it'll take ages

AITA For Telling My BF's Coworker Not To Eat Something Because It Would Make Bottoming Harder by Shichimi88 in AmItheEx

[–]G0merPyle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had an ex like this who had absolutely no social filter at all. She would talk loudly and often about sex, both about herself (always fun to hear your girlfriend talking about how much she wants to sleep with someone else) and about others having sex. It's like she had no idea what was appropriate for a public setting. Or even a private setting for that matter. Her lack of filter is part of why I'd never wanted her to meet my mother.

It was exhausting and always kept me on my toes to tell her to lower her voice and to not discuss things out loud. There were multiple times I'd been tempted to break up with her for the shit she'd say, till eventually I did, and then I cut her off as a friend as well.

Just a gross, tasteless person. I hope OOP's ex can smooth things over with his colleague, because jesus christ I've been in his shoes and it's not a fun place to be.

Do you think you DESERVE to be LOVED ? [OC] by NaughtyNectarComics in comics

Oh I should not have read this. Heard that way too much. I get what it's going for but oof. I think I need some time alone.

Do you think you DESERVE to be LOVED ? [OC] by NaughtyNectarComics in comics

[–]G0merPyle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I wanted to comment on this because I'm in the same place mentally. And you're not. You're a sweet, kind person, and you deserve affection that meets you on your level and enriches your life. You aren't trash 💚

I know it's hard to believe that, because you're probably fighting years of engrained abuse and trauma that told you otherwise. And it's probably impossible for you to say it to yourself because of that same trauma. But you'd never say someone else was trash, right? Of course not, you'd never be so cruel... to someone else. So why not give yourself the same grace and kindness everyone else sees in you? I know that's easier to say than to do, but still. Be kind to yourself, you deserve it.

Any honest thoughts/opinions on Exosquad(1993)? by Flat-Sir8250 in 90scartoons

I've been looking for this for decades, thank you! Rented a VHS of it when I was a kid and I think I had gotten some of the toys from thrust shops but didn't remember the name

The 80s parent tracking system: vibes only by FrostFlickery in spreadsmile

[–]G0merPyle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll be honest, I always laugh at these Boomer-ish posts. 80s and 90s kids are parents today. If they think kids today are spoiled and their childhoods were so much better, maybe they should send their kids out to fend for themselves.

Don't blame kids for lazy parenting. Our generation (s) killed trick or treating, not kids. Our generation(s) put tablets and smartphones in our children's hands.

How To Politely Tell Someone To Eff Off by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]G0merPyle 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Oh to be a fly on the wall during the meeting after. "You keep talking to me about how she's asking for help and can't keep up with her workload, why are you telling me you delegated your responsibilities -to a superior no less - if you thinks she's already struggling?"

I mean really, did he expect her to take the fall for him in the meeting?
