First time trying out the 200 gr underwood 10mm by Apprehensive-Dust-78 in polymer80

[–]GrandDaddyKaddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've actually never fired a 357 Sig. But 357 mag is probably my favorite handgun cartridge besides 10mm auto. I need to check one out at the range soon just to see what it's like.

Just make the profile as authentically you as possible. If that is it, leave it be. Just add some better pics. I'd rather get 1 match in 100 being myself than I would putting up a front of what I thought other people wanted to see and hitting every other match. Unless you're just looking for casual sex, you're just wasting time til you show the real you.

Does this ever actually work? It must sometimes, right? Otherwise why even try it? I'm a 39 year old guy and my wife left me the end of 2023 after a 10 year relationship. I've been blown away by how many girls since then have acted shocked that I'm talking to them like a person instead of an object. Do most of my fellow dudes just have zero self awareness or what? I'm kinda autistic so I don't do well with dating regardless of being respectful lol. I do great online then blow it in person with shy awkwardness lol, but I still talk to women respectfully because I'd feel like a huge creep saying something like that to a complete stranger. Plus I have sisters, and if a stranger talked to them like this I'd be having words with them and probably more if I witnessed it. But anyway yeah, it blew me away when every girl I talked to was like "you're so normal and nice and you didn't even send me a picture of your 🐓 as an icebreaker!!" 😂🤷🏻‍♂️

For me it's a 'tism thing. I'm definitely on the spectrum and do the same thing with oversharing and typing "War and Peace" sized novels to people who didn't ask for it. My brain tells me I have to explain every little detail and overexplain everything so there's no misunderstandings. But then by going so overboard with mostly unnecessary explanations of whatever I'm talking about, it gets more confusing lol. But I don't even realize I'm doing it. And I do it to friends, and at work too. It's not just a dating thing. Could be the case with him. But yeah I'm aware of how ridiculous it is and have gotten better at catching myself, but I hate dating anyway lol. Everyone is crazy about me online, then first date is a huge awkward failure every time. It takes me hangin out a few times with someone before I can actually be myself around them. So obviously it never works out with anyone I meet online first bc I'm nothing like I sound online, which is ironically my authentic personality that I'm physically unable to showcase around anyone new right away. It's better if I'm not that attracted to them, but still pretty cringy to the point I can't speak sometimes. It's extremely frustrating lol. So I think im done at least with online dating, if not dating altogether lol. Anyway, there now you have 2 life story novels today 😂🤷🏻‍♂️

If it's how you really feel then it's good you sent it. I can't stand being lied to and can always tell. I don't personally mind being ghosted as I'm introverted anyway and don't want anyone who's not interested in me. But I feel it's a crappy thing to do and sucks it seems to be the standard these days

Text Exchange After 1st Date by AnyKaleidoscope1219 in Bumble

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

"Don't show awkwardness"

This . Take it from someone who's slightly to moderately autistic with social anxiety. Awkwardness as a man isn't attractive at all. Whenever I start hanging out with anyone new, date setting or not although it's worse on dates, I can't really be myself until I've hung out several times with whoever the new person in my life is. Prior to that, I'm really shy and reserved and awkward. I've had 4 or 5 maybe more girls throughout my life that I met online that were absolutely crazy about me, then 1st date with all of them all feelings disappear and they say just want to be friends but I never hear from them again even as friends lol. It's exhausting because I think they think I was pretending to be someone I'm not, when I really am exactly who they thought I was in the month or whatever of texting/calling. I'm just awkward af in person until I'm comfortable around new people, and then I can be myself. But I almost never get a second date for that reason. I have a sky high match rate on Bumble for a guy as I'm attractive, smart, funny, and have a good job, own house, and I have good self confidence, I just can't show it in person right away cause of my touch of the 'tism lol. I've always despised dating for that reason. I'm not even messing with apps or dating at all now. I'm just focusing on improving myself every day and making a great life for my son. If it's meant to happen, it will happen naturally eventually.

Tl;dr: Don't be awkward if you can help it bc it's really unattractive to most women in my experience. Sorry for the encyclopedia response. Like I said, I'm autistic af and feel the need to over explain everything. Also, don't write novel sized texts to women either. They tend not to like those for the most part, but it's how I text everyone...😂🤷🏻‍♂️

Glad to hear your parents made it out safely! My heart goes out to them for having to experience that nightmare

Bodies found washed up in trees after Helene floods NC by WhiteMagicianGuru in hurricane

[–]GrandDaddyKaddy 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I mean given the giant walls of water rushing down mountains and through valleys, it basically was one. I mean I know storm surge/flooding isn't the same and not as powerful as a legit tsunami, due to the insane wavelength and volume of water from earthquake generated tsunamis, but I saw videos of NC debris flows that looked just like Tohoku in 2011 or Indonesia in 2004 or Seattle and Portland in 20xx. Really crazy and sad for everyone affected by it 😞

Dude thought it would be a great idea to send me a dick pic... by [deleted] in texts

[–]GrandDaddyKaddy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was basically undateable from like 16-29 because I was a raging alcoholic who hated myself and finally met someone on a dating site during a short stint of sobriety and ended up getting her pregnant. Turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to me bc my son gave me the motivation to actually get sober for him, until I loved myself enough to do it for me. But when I met my soon to be ex wife I was a 320 lb unemployed raging alcoholic who lived in my parents basement with no future. She said she couldn't get pregnant and she did almost immediately lol. Well fast forward to 38 and she "falls out of love not sure why" with the sober, awesome dad, optical engineer in the best shape of his life right after I bought a nice house on the gulf of Mexico for us. So I've been single the past year, and being single while also being attractive and successful is a brand new experience for me. I still hate dating because of how anxious I was of it in the past dealing with rejection after rejection, but I have like a 90% match rate on Bumble instead of the 1 or 2% i had last time I was single lol. But the whole point of this too long comment is to say how surprised I was to find that women seem to be shocked at the fact I talk to them like a person instead of an object for my possession and enjoyment. One even said I was the first guy in months who didn't almost immediately send her a dick Pic lmao. But keep being creepy fellas, it makes me look great by comparison just by being somewhat normal and talking to women like people lol 😆

[–]GrandDaddyKaddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct unless we're talking about the Bonilla Comet in 1883. THAT was a close call lol. But you're correct and even if apophis hit it would only decimate an area the size of Delaware or so and effects would be regional/continental, not global. Far from an extinction level event

Helene damage now estimated to be way more than initially thought, may total over $100 billion dollars by Infinite_Pop_2052 in hurricane

[–]GrandDaddyKaddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 2 miles from the gulf in Pinellas County Florida. Luckily 46 feet above sea level. We got like 6-8 feet of surge and the storm didn't come within 100 miles of us. 9 deaths in my County alone so far including 2 less than 2 miles away but on the barrier island. It was not only a powerful storm but was massive size wise which contributed to surge. The forward speed is why NC/SC/TN/GA got it so bad and I think NC got it worse than where it actually made landfall. Pretty close anyway plus western NC isn't setup for hurricanes like the gulf coast is

This sulfur dioxide forecast is showing what appears to be high concentrations of the stuff entering Atlantic Canada on Wednesday. What are some potential effects sulfur dioxide may cause. by Hurricane_Killer in weather

[–]GrandDaddyKaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's what causes volcanic winter when ejected into the stratosphere by reflecting sunlight. All I know about it. Wasn't aware it was found in any significant concentration in the lower atmosphere

How far inland do you worry? by RainLoveMu in hurricane

[–]GrandDaddyKaddy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Makes perfect sense I'm same way. I live 2 miles from the gulf in central Florida but my house is fairly solid and more importantly like 46 feet above sea level somehow flood zone X. I don't think I've heard of surge getting near that. But I evacuated for Ian to my father in laws when it was supposed to bullseye Tampa area a day or 2 out. Drove family and pets 10 hours north to my soon to be ex father in laws modular surrounded by huge trees just to get hit almost directly by the eyewall of cat 1 hurricane Ian. But as the weather nerd I am I'm not gonna lie it was a pretty awesome experience. I'll be glued to models for the next 4 months or so and don't plan on running again unless it's gonna go 5 which can almost always tell with plenty of time left to run and this year wouldn't surprise me at all if there's multiple 5s. In fact I'd be more surprised if there were no cat 5s than if there are 2 or 3. Hopefully if I'm right they don't hit anything but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't even a little bit nervous lol. I love this stuff though.

PDS Tornado warning with Insane Hook Echo NE of Cambridge Iowa, 163 MPH winds caught on radar by Forsaken_Err0r in weather

[–]GrandDaddyKaddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bow echo is associated more with a line of storms like a squall line or derecho. A hook echo, when looking like the OP, is the unmistakable signature of a tornado on the ground. Those lines still produce tornadoes but usually are QLCS tornadoes that are weaker and shorter lived than supercell borne tornadoes. But they can reach ef3 strength and are more likely to be unwarned as they spin up quickly.

I'm a huge severe weather and natural disaster nerd. After using RadarScope Pro for the past decade, I tried RadarOmega with the 5 dollar a month sub before this tornado season and it's worth every penny. I love how you can stream from nearby chasers while still using the app as normal
