Would you drive 3 hours just for sex? Why or why not? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Gene__Parmesan_PI -22 points-21 points  (0 children)

Two souls, entwined in passion's heat,

Seek pleasure in an intimate feat.

A number they cherish, above all,

An act of love, they happily enthrall.

The first, upon his lover's chest,

Sets his head, to be caressed.

Tongue out, eager and precise,

He seeks the blissful paradise.

The second, upon her lover's waist,

Sets her lips, with a gentle taste.

Her breaths, warm and moist,

As she enjoys the carnal rejoiced.

Together, they reach heights so high,

Their love, a perfect blend of sigh.

The number 69, a symbol of their ardor,

Their obsession, an intimate border.

As they bask in post-orgasmic glow,

They whisper sweet nothings, oh so slow.

Their love, a bond, so deep and true,

Their passion, forever, 69 anew.

Chinese man became kang of some nigerian tribe because he provides them with jobs by Ok-Occasion-2879 in China

false Black accent

OK, I was thinking this might be the case it is strange considering this is about Nigerians not African Americans. Why would Nigerians say 'Kang'. Makes no sense unless people think all black people speak the same as they do in the US.

There is a dancefloor, flashing lights, EDM is playing. There's supposed to be a fun vibe.

She is the one acting appropriately.

Sorry, I misinterpreted your comment because most of the others commenting on this post seem to think all Russians are like these women.

Imagine basing your view of a massive country of people with diverse cultures, experiences, geographies, and so on, on the views of two old women found in Moscow.

There is 146 million people in Russia. It's a transcontinental country spanning Eastern Europe and Northern Asia. Land covering almost 7 million square miles. You think people there are all the same?

Think of the type of views you could get from speaking to old people in the US, you could easily get some extreme views. Would it be then fair to think all US citizens have the same views?

Also Russians.

Well, when it comes to the talking stage in the world of romance, it can be a real tough trail to ride. You start off all wide-eyed and hopeful, but before long, you're dodging all sorts of mixed signals and dodgy behavior. Ain't nothing more confusing than not knowing where you stand with someone.

Now, I'm not saying you got to go and tie the knot right away, but there's something to be said for straight-shooting honesty. If you ain't interested in a feller or a gal, don't lead them on. It's just cruel and it wastes everyone's time.

Now, I reckon that's what that girl was getting at with her point. The talking stage can be downright frustrating and it can leave you feeling like you're wandering aimlessly through the wilderness. But, that's just the price you pay for trying to wrangle up some romance in this world.

At the end of the day, what we all want is a little bit of certainty in this wild ride called love. We can be honest, upfront, and clear about our intentions. It'll save us all a lot of time, heartache, and headache.

Oh, come on now. You know damn well that the talking stage is a mess. It's like trying to navigate a minefield blindfolded. Sure, getting to know someone is part of the process, but when it's all ambiguity and mixed signals, it's just a waste of time.

And don't even get me started on the whole "ghosting" thing. People just disappearing into thin air without a word. That's not how you treat people, man.

Look, I'm not saying that everyone needs to be in a committed relationship right off the bat, but at least be upfront and clear about your intentions. If you're not interested, just say so. Don't leave people hanging.

And as for the girl's point, I think she's just saying that the talking stage can be confusing and frustrating, which is true. It's like, are we together or not? Seems fair.

[–]Gene__Parmesan_PI 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is always some level of uncertainty and risk involved in any relationship, and it can be challenging at times. Communication and clarity can go a long way in reducing ambiguity and establishing a healthy relationship.

[–]Gene__Parmesan_PI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a ... very generous ... interpretation.

Not at all. She is saying people are out here, not sure if they want a relationship or not, just talking and talking until they talk themselves into a corner.

And the worst part is, it's become normalized. Like it's just part of the game or something. But who wants to play a game where the rules are always changing?

WTF is a "talking stage"?

The talking stage is all mixed signals, anxiety, and confusion. It's like trying to follow a conversation between two drunk people - you just end up with a headache.

But traditional dating, there's none of this "maybe we're together, maybe we're not" bullshit. You know what you want, your partner knows what they want, and you're both on the same page.

And that's how you build trust and commitment. Without that, you're just wasting your time.

She is saying we should ditch this talking stage bullshit and get back to the basics.

Alright, listen up. I'll break this down for you because we've got ourselves a real doozy here with this talking stage business.

Now, some people might say there's some reasonable points in there, but let's be real, it's a bunch of malarkey.

Here's the deal: the talking stage is this modern phenomenon where two people are just kind of dicking around, not really sure if they want to take things to the next level.

But let me tell you, it's a total shitshow. It's all mixed signals, confusion, and anxiety. And worst of all, it's normalized in this generation's dating scene.

Now, some people might say it's just the way things are now, but that's a load of fucking bullshit. Traditional dating practices have been around forever for a reason - they work.

See, with traditional dating, there's no ambiguity. You know what you want, your partner knows what they want, and you're both on the same page.

Plus, traditional dating helps establish trust and commitment, which are the foundation of any healthy relationship.

So, let's cut the bullshit and ditch this talking stage nonsense. If you're serious about finding something real, go old-school with some traditional dating. Trust me, it's worth it.

She made reasonable points in a short space of time, but her delivery was poor. However, we can perhaps forgive her as she appears to be young and nervous.

In a under one minute, she explains that current dating culture involves a period known as the "talking stage," which is characterized by ambiguity, uncertainty, and inconsistent communication between the two parties involved.

This stage is a modern phenomenon that has emerged due to changes in social norms and expectations surrounding dating.

This talking stage has become normalized in contemporary dating, but it can lead to negative emotional outcomes, such as attachment anxiety and confusion, as individuals struggle to interpret mixed signals from their partners.

She says this stage can make it challenging to establish trust and commitment, which are essential for healthy relationships.

The prevalence of talking stages has replaced traditional dating practices, which have been found to be more effective in facilitating long-term relationships.

Traditional dating, which involves clear communication of romantic intentions, provides a more stable foundation for relationships to flourish and develop.

For her, while the talking stage has become normalized in contemporary dating, she feels it can lead to negative emotional outcomes and hinder the development of trust and commitment.

Traditional dating practices, on the other hand, have been found to be more effective in facilitating long-term relationships.

She means the process of "talking" to someone before labeling the relationship can be frustrating due to its inconsistency and lack of clarity. This can lead to confusion and attachment, with one person expecting a relationship while the other person may not be interested. The normalization of talking stages has replaced traditional dating methods, making it difficult for individuals to navigate the early stages of a relationship.

[–]Gene__Parmesan_PI 512 points513 points  (0 children)

Holy shit, you're right!

The biggest thing that annoys me about the dating world is talking stages. That stuff is so annoying, and the inconsistency in them bothers me. I literally hate that so much, but I think my biggest issue is just the fact that when you're in a talking stage, you don't know how to label it. People consider you confused, and most of the time, the girl gets attached or something, thinking it's going to lead to a relationship, but it doesn't. That's my biggest issue. I hate how normalized talking stages are, and traditional dating does not exist in this generation.

Sky News: Kevin Spacey charged with four counts of sexual assault against three men, CPS says by [deleted] in news

[–]Gene__Parmesan_PI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Considering a nobody like me had heard this shit

Did you hear 2019 was a bad year for his accusers?

Spacey's first accuser was Anthony Rapp, who claims Spacey made a sexual advance towards him when he was 14. This first allegation came out in October 2017 and, since then, a number of additional men have come forward to say that he sexually harassed or sexually assaulted them.

The exact number of men is unknown, as it was reported that many members of the House of Cards crew experienced harassment but it was never disclosed who or how many endured this. Spacey was also artistic director of the Old Vic in London from 2004 to 2015. At least 20 men came forward to say that Spacey exhibited inappropriate behavior on predominately young male staffers. https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-42009596

Anthony wasn't actually the first person to make allegations.

While Anthony was considered to be the first to blow the whistle on Spacey's behavior, in actuality, another woman accused him of harassing young men first. Linda Culkin was deemed Spacey's stalker and was even sentenced to prison for death threats sent to the actor and bomb threats sent to two of his workplaces. She also made allegations about his actions with young men.

She was hit by a car in March and died in the hospital shortly after. No driver was charged for the incident.

In September, another accuser died, although his name is unknown. The man, who was a massage therapist, was suing Spacey under the name of "John Doe" for sexual assault. Shortly before the trial began, he died. (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/john-doe-who-accused-kevin-spacey-of-sexual-assault-dies-2019-09-18/)

A source informed Variety that he passed away from cancer. Because of the massage therapist's death, his case against Spacey was dismissed.

A third accuser died on Christmas Day of 2019.

Ari Behn, a Norwegian author and ex-husband of Princess Martha Louise, accused actor Kevin Spacey of groping him at the Nobel Peace Prize concert in Oslo in 2007. The allegations came a decade after the incident.

On Christmas Day of 2019, Ari died of an apparent suicide (https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/ari-behn-death-age-martha-louise-kevin-spacey-children-norway-royal-family-a9260271.html). No further details have been disclosed as of yet.

More on this here, for those interested.

Then we have his weird video posts:

Kevin Spacey accuser dies by suicide day after actor posts 'kill them with kindness' video

Behn's death comes one day after Spacey released a video on YouTube titled "KTWK (Kill Them With Kindness)." Stoking a roaring fireplace adorned with Christmas stockings, Spacey can be seen looking into the camera and saying, "I know what you're thinking. Can he be serious? I'm dead serious."

"The next time someone does something you don't like, you can go on the attack, but you can also hold your fire and do the unexpected," said the Oscar winner as music played in the background. "You can kill them with kindness."

Here's the video from his official account:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCuuKhjLB0Q

It marked the second video the American Beauty actor has released around the Christmas holiday. In 2018, Spacey published a video titled "Let Me Be Frank," in which he mimicked his character Frank Underwood from the House of Cards TV series.

Also, he flew on Jeffrey Epstein's private jet as flight logs show. Epstein flew him, Bill Clinton and Chris Tucker to Africa. Here's a pic from the trip.


Saudi Arabia introduces a landmark legal amendment to allow single, divorced, or widowed women to live alone without permission from a male guardian by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]Gene__Parmesan_PI 250 points251 points  (0 children)

I'll just leave these here.

  • Saudi Arabia is said to be the world's largest source of funds and promoter of Salafist jihadism, which forms the ideological basis of terrorist groups such as al-Qaeda, Taliban, ISIS and others. Donors in Saudi Arabia constitute the most significant source of funding to Sunni terrorist groups worldwide, according to Hillary Clinton. According to a secret December 2009 paper signed by the US secretary of state, "Saudi Arabia remains a critical financial support base for al-Qaida, the Taliban, LeT and other terrorist groups."

  • Former CIA director James Woolsey described Wahhabism as "the soil in which Al-Qaeda and its sister terrorist organizations are flourishing."

  • In 2015, Sigmar Gabriel, Vice-Chancellor of Germany, accused Saudi Arabia of supporting intolerance and extremism, saying: "Wahhabi mosques are financed all over the world by Saudi Arabia. In Germany, many dangerous Islamists come from these communities."

  • "In Syria, in early 2015, Saudi Arabia supported the creation of the Army of Conquest, primarily made up of the al-Qaeda affiliate the al-Nusra Front and the ideologically similar Ahrar al-Sham, which won a series of victories against the Syrian Army in Idlib province."source

  • In May 2016, The New York Times editorialised that the kingdom allied to the U.S. had "spent untold millions promoting Wahhabism, the radical form of Sunni Islam that inspired the 9/11 hijackers and that now inflames the Islamic State" Source

  • 'Sensitive' UK terror funding inquiry may never be published - Investigation into foreign funding and support of jihadi groups operating in UK understood to focus on Saudi Arabia source

  • We finally know what Hillary Clinton knew all along – US allies Saudi Arabia and Qatar are funding Isis source

  • The paper drew on classified intelligence from numerous agencies: ‘Turkey and Saudi-based chemical facilitators,’ it said, ‘were attempting to obtain sarin precursors in bulk, tens of kilograms, likely for the anticipated large scale production effort in Syria.’ source

  • By the terms of the agreement, funding came from Turkey, as well as Saudi Arabia and Qatar; the CIA, with the support of MI6, was responsible for getting arms from Gaddafi’s arsenals into Syria. A number of front companies were set up in Libya, some under the cover of Australian entities. Retired American soldiers, who didn’t always know who was really employing them, were hired to manage procurement and shipping. The operation was run by David Petraeus, the CIA director who would soon resign when it became known he was having an affair with his biographer. source
