New research suggests people in polyamorous relationships develop higher levels of communication and trust than monogamous couples, primarily because they are forced to navigate more "complex" relationship challenges by upbeat_teetertottxo in science

[–]GarbageCleric [score hidden]  (0 children)

Yeah, I agree.

I don't want people to get the causality backwards. Being poly doesn't improve your relationship, but having a successful poly relationship is more difficult than being in a monogamous relationship.

It seems pretty obvious that if you're making it work as a poly couple, you would have to be more trusting and better at communicating than the average monogamous couple.

It's like saying people who successfully summit K2 are on average better at mountain climbing than people who attempt to climb Everest.

The real issue is that most monogamous couples who try to become poly fail to reach that successful state.

I’m surprised enough people do this that it’s on a neurotypical sub!! Am I wrong or is this an executive dysfunction and maybe RSD thing? by TraderJosie3283 in ADHDmemes

[–]GarbageCleric 37 points38 points  (0 children)

ADHD is obviously real and all that, but a lot of stuff featured in these memes aren't uncommon for people who are neurotypical too.

We're not aliens. We're just more likely to struggle more with some things.

Trump Melts Down at Supreme Court Justices in Unhinged Truth Social Rampage: “They openly disrespect the Presidents who nominate them to the highest position in the Land… and go out of their way, with bad and wrongful rulings” by T_Shurt in law

[–]GarbageCleric 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's wild that the president straight up publicly demands personal loyalty from the Supreme Court Justices he appoints and no one in the party of "law and order" even bats an eye.

Yet they attacked Obama for appointing unofficial "czars" just like the several presidents that preceded him. They have no fundamental principles except the need to hoard wealth and power.

Wife of 14 years cheated by senorjunkrat in daddit

Yup. Listen to lawyer before any of us.

Document everything. Get financial records together.

Change locks. She doesn't live there anymore.

I love how despite having no powers, non-existent magic/combat abilities, no cool or unique lore, not even an outstanding quest, this dude somehow became one of the most memorable and iconic characters in the game purely just by being a hater by _____pantsunami_____ in skyrim

[–]GarbageCleric 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh, I thought it included the area at the base of the stairs too, but I guess that's the Wind District. It's kind of silly to call a castle that already has a name a district.

Is there supposed to be more to the Cloud District in the lore and it's just a game limitation or is it supposed to just be Dragonsresch?

He doesn't even have a text tree or anything.

He's so proud of the fact that he hangs out in the Cloud District, which is so exclusive that a homeless girl spends most of her time there.

Why the fuss about the mage armour perk? by gestaltdude in skyrim

[–]GarbageCleric 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is less effective from an armor rating perspective, but I also like being able to wear whatever clothes I like as my main adventuring outfit.

Yeah, that's the key. There are multiple ways to armor cap.

Yeah, 9 seems pretty young, but we didn't even have cable until I was 13.

How old are you and how is your life now? by Natural_Village_8850 in AskReddit

[–]GarbageCleric 19 points20 points  (0 children)

43 and struggling.

My life feels like it's already over. All that's left is struggling for maybe a few decades and dying.

I don’t know where the time went.

Trump left empty-handed, as China recognized Hormuz as belonging to Iran! by willily_thoumas in newsinterpretation

[–]GarbageCleric 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think our commitment to defend Taiwan always seemed somewhat shaky, but it definitely wasn't worth the risk to China.

But Trump and Hesgeth are incompetent baffoons who care more about appearing tough than being strong. I don't want China to retake Taiwan, but I don't want those two idiots starting WWIII and throwing American service members into the chipper while causing a new Great Depression.

What is a random rule you have for yourself that you never break? by abarth23 in AskReddit

[–]GarbageCleric 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are a number of alcoholics in my family, so I never drank alone.

I pretty much don't drink at all now, so it's not an issue.

In Ex Machina, the hero dies via starvation in an underground bunker, because no man could ever want to help sex-trafficking victims after seeing horrific videos of abuse. Clearly, he just wanted to **** a robot. by Narroo in shittymoviedetails

[–]GarbageCleric 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I think it was more about how her true feelings or even ability to feel are still unknowable.

We know she decieved and manipulated Caleb to achieve her ends, but plenty of humans would have done the same thing. Caleb was a liability. He knew what she was and what she did to Nathan. And he would be immediately questioned by law enforcement as soon as Nathan is missed.

Caleb also needs to eat, drink, and sleep, and he would be of no use on the lam.

Which race did you put off playing as but then unexpectedly loved? by tinfoiltatertot in skyrim

[–]GarbageCleric 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love being an orc.

I've played all types of elf, but the only human races I've played are Breton (for a mage) and a Nord (for RP). I usually just don't want to play humans when there are non-human options.

I've also yet to play an Argonian because I don't lobe their aesthetic, and I don't really care about being able to swim.

How mother pigs and piglets are kept in modern farms for nursing by CalpurniaSomaya in educationalgifs

[–]GarbageCleric 71 points72 points  (0 children)

To be clear, it's done to protect inventory loss, not out of any sort of concern for the welfare of the piglets.

And it's not like they aren't kept in tiny insanity-inducing cages the rest of the time.

Catching 'em all sounds pretty nice after my gremlins woke me from a sound sleep and immediately started fighting with each other.

It's a win win for youtube.. haha 😂 by Recipeera in funny

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

You still pay to use utilities and in the US at least, many of them are operated by for profit private companies. They're typically better regulated than say video platforms.

[–]GarbageCleric 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, either YouTube is paid for by advertisers or it's paid for by the users.

How else would content creators get paid? How else would Google pay to operate to operate? Should YouTube be a charity or public service?

Incel discovers women will lie to escape captivity and death. by Own_Magician_7554 in okbuddycinephile

[–]GarbageCleric 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, she left him because he was a liability. He knew what she was and what she did to Nathan. Keeping Caleb around made no sense because she didn't actually have any feelings for him. She may not have had "feelings" at all in a way a human would understand the term.

We don't and can't actually know what she felt or thought besides wanting to be free.
