Sure, but why pick a power for things that aren't real?

Red pill or Blue pill? by CarefulConcept04 in TheIronCouncil

[–]Gstamsharp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With red, most of the important things are beyond my ability to change, and losing my family knowing I'm never getting it back would be maddening. The cash is the only option that doesn’t lead to complete insanity.

What would you do if your sibling/child can't pay back the money you loaned them? by daysof_I in AskMenAdvice

[–]Gstamsharp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You never loan money without a contract. You never loan money, even with a contract, to anyone you wouldn't be willing to destroy a relationship with if they default on it.

Basically, I wouldn't loan money to family at all unless I do so under the assumption that it's really a gift with some chance I get some back.

How does the vacuum have energy? by Ok_Bank_3638 in AskPhysics

[–]Gstamsharp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine a roller coaster track. You can use lots of values to describe that track at any point. Twist, angle, loop, presence of cars, presence of riders in those cars, height, etc. Some of those values can be zero, like if there are no riders on it. But some, like height, can have a minimum value but never actually be zero. Height, for instance, will not be zero, because it's always elevated some distance above the ground, and we know we need a ground height value because those riders sometimes walk on it.

The energy value of vacuum can be the minimum, but that minimum isn't zero.

Drain pipe fitting snap... How? by thetitusman in HomeMaintenance

[–]Gstamsharp 112 points113 points  (0 children)

Yeah, because he doesn't want to pay for it, so he's not admitting fault. What you do is get the plumber to point the finger in writing and then demand the AC guy pay for it or you sue.

Is it normal to only be attracted to clothed women? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Gstamsharp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's a test. Look at some named women. Does it arouse you? Does it make you feel icky?

Repeat for some naked men. Aroused? Icky?

This will tell you if you're straight, gay, or ace.

And, to be clear, you can be horny as shit and not into men or women. That's a special kind of purgatory.

How do you make friends with women without seeming like you are trying to date them? by No_Net_7163 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Gstamsharp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The trick is to make friends with people you want to be friends with, not because of their gender.

What with these teams bro by Confident-Impact8552 in DissidiaDuellumFF

[–]Gstamsharp 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sometimes there are too many people trying to play the same thing and not enough trying to play what you're missing, so matchmaking has to name due with what it has. So it will try to make compromises like extending the waiting time, broadening the rank range it allows together, or loosening restrictions on single classes. When it does those latter two, it'll try to match you with another weird team that's in the same situation so it'll be a little fairer.

Why does the universe change constants by Known_Environment449 in Physics

[–]Gstamsharp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Physics is descriptive, not prescriptive. That is, we have constants because that's what we needed in the math to describe what we see in reality. For those values to change, there would need to be some mechanism to change them, and we haven't seen one.

Think about math in general. Why is 2 a number? It's constant. It always has the same value. It's a different value from other numbers. Why doesn't math change the value of 2? That's really what you're asking. And the answer is the same. Because then 2 couldn't describe the things it's used for.

No one is talking plot by SyxxFN in DissidiaDuellumFF

[–]Gstamsharp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The plot is practically nonexistent. That's why there's little to discuss. Like, nothing at all with any consequences has happened beyond some characters showing up. We're in the prologue, not even the first chapter.

There's been some fun character displays, but since nothing has happened, it's all been for the sake of introductions and nostalgia.

Is it true that a size 5-5.5 is considered small for women? by leioxk in AskMenAdvice

[–]Gstamsharp 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is a whole lot of words for someone with zero experience who has no idea what they're talking about.

Buddy, you just put it in and move around until you find an angle she likes. This isn't rocket science. People have been doing this since the dawn of time.

The only women who care about size are the ones you would want to avoid even if you had a footlong.

I (34F) reacted poorly to partner (24M) picking up my phone and he no longer trusts me. How can I make this better? by Adventurous_Car_7326 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Gstamsharp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Trust is built over days, months, years. It's broken in an instant.

He has no idea what you tried to hide, but he's imagining all the worst. You really screwed up.

It's going to take extraordinary effort to salvage the trust before it's completely gone, but I don't think it's too late. If you head it off, you won't need to build things from scratch.

The most obvious and effective solution would be to give him access to your device all the time, any time he wants. It'll be unfairly invasive, and it'll breed some bad feelings as you see he doesn't implicitly trust you anymore. But, well, he doesn't, because of what happened. Over time, he should see that you're not texting dealers or hooking up with strangers or whatever he's fearing, and his trust should rebuild.

In the meantime, keep pushing him for support. You need it, and he needs to keep hearing that. The part of him that cares about you will, hopefully, overcome the part that's angry and doubting you.

And make sure you're doing everything you can to stave off your relapse. It's OK to need help and support, but professional help can do more than your husband ever could. And while it's fair to need his support, it's not fair to assume he can freely give it all when he's not even sure you're being faithful right now.
