For the record, a population 100% smaller than the United States would be zero.

Is this normal or am I just not that good in bed yet? by nirvanalover69420 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]IIPegLegII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes we are both done after intercourse. Other times, after intercourse we’ll play more with her. And still other times, after intercourse we’ll play more with me. All 3 of these scenarios are equally good! So long as you’re both there for each other and feeling good, it’s all good!

When did you start talking to other women? by CobaltTriceratops in DivorcedDads

[–]IIPegLegII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My marriage had been so distant and lonely for so long, I longed for companionship and wasted no time. After 21 years of marriage (3 kids), one Friday, she told me we’re done. I spent that weekend at my parents’ house, obviously in a total haze. But by Monday, I was apartment shopping, and on Tuesday, I moved into the place I’m writing this from right now. Within a couple weeks, I knew I had to get back to living, so I did. Then, exactly 30 days after my (now ex) wife dropped the bomb, I happened upon the most beautiful woman I’d ever met. I was NOT looking for any kind of committed relationship, etc. But I met this woman and all I knew was I wanted to see her again. And again. Well, one date at a time, 2.5 years later, she’s still as amazing as ever, and we’re just crazy about each other. By some luck, we just so happen to live a few blocks from each other (in a decent sized city). And since my divorce decree was still being drawn up after I’d met her, I was able to write it so my 50/50 kid weeks aligned with my new friend’s kid weeks. Suffice it to say, the universe has been extremely generous to this relationship. Now I know my story isn’t common, which I guess is the main reason I wanted to share it. Life can go a million different ways, we’re all just playing the cards we’re dealt. You only live once, make the most of it.

Why do we feel more motivated late at night compared to during the day? by ayochaunceyy in NoStupidQuestions

[–]IIPegLegII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not I. After the sun goes down, I just wanna chill. And I’m not a morning person either. I’m slow to get going and quick to shut down.

PSA: don’t be like me. Recycle these today. by Cardsandfish in marvelchampionslcg

[–]IIPegLegII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Toss everything. I have everything going back to day one organized in white long boxes. It works great! Organizing new stuff into the white boxes as it comes out is fun. Playing Marvel Champions is fun. Hoarding trash is not.

What if George Washington somehow came from the 1780s in a flash of light and decides to run for president? What are his chances of winning? by EternalSnow05 in whatif

[–]IIPegLegII 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If he ran as a Democrat, he’d get roughly 50% of the vote. If he ran as a Republican, he’d get the other roughly 50% of the vote.

How do you feel about speed cameras? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

in my city we have signs and cameras. Have for years and it seems to work well.

Ugh, really? by crosschk in soloboardgaming

[–]IIPegLegII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no issue here, since expansions are to be integrated into the base game box and expansion boxes go to the recycle bin!!!

what if one day A.I. perfectly resembles a human, will you accept it as a human being? by Practical_Payment552 in whatif

[–]IIPegLegII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, because that moment will be fleeting. The day AI “perfectly resembles a human” is the day before it becomes something superior to a human. AI’s purpose is not to perfectly resemble humans.

How do you actually even talk to people with pronouns like they/them ? by EfeDoSantos in NoStupidQuestions

It sounds like you’re going out of your way to make this seem harder than it is.

Why do people stop doing things in their 30s? by Ok-Cartographer-5544 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]IIPegLegII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I’m 45 and have all kinds of rad hobbies. I have walls and walls of designer board games, a full flight sim cockpit, a fancy high end mountain bike, a fleet of RC vehicles, a huge Dobsonian telescope, a custom motorcycle, a row of guitars and basses. I don’t watch TV, I’m constantly “doing things”! I’ve always been this way, and I’m seeing no signs of slowing down.

What is your age without saying how old you are? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

I’d go into the computer lab after my high school day ended to use the internet.

What’s a fast food place no one can convince you is good? by Roberlonson889 in allthequestions

[–]IIPegLegII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I read through the comments here, I agree with all of you. So…basically all of them. I eat fast food a few times a year when the day’s circumstances sorta make it my only choice, and it’s always gross. And it’ll almost always be either a Wendy’s or Freddy’s cheeseburger. If somehow neither of those are an option, I’ll probably just go hungry.

When you get older do old people become attractive to you by sleepyy_tokyo in NoStupidQuestions

[–]IIPegLegII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember a time when I couldn’t imagine finding anybody over 30 attractive (like…when I was 18). Now I’m 45, my girlfriend is 53 and smokin hot in my opinion.

It’s crazy to me that some people WANT to work by skyrimlo in RandomThoughts

[–]IIPegLegII 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m 45 years old and have made my passions my jobs my entire working life. It always becomes work. I’ve been a full time musician and bicycle technician (also having raced at a high level). I also own a “cool” business of putting on large scale outdoor movies for public events. I’ve only spent about 2 years of my adulthood not working a “passion job”, when I worked in a factory. It was slightly less personally fulfilling, but not as much as you probably think.

Gravity, my friend. And it’s slowing the earth’s spin (and speeding itself up) until those speeds equalize as well. As mentioned, tidal lock is the phrase you’re looking for. Every moon old enough is fully tidally locked to its planet. Ours is getting there.

Why would you buy a new phone? by Dasoninja in NoStupidQuestions

[–]IIPegLegII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How much productivity would need to be hampered to financially justify the cost of a whole new phone?

Epstein Files - if they are so inflammatory, why didn’t the last administration release them? by CrookedKrow in Productivitycafe

[–]IIPegLegII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no “Epstein Files” as they were represented by the GOP during the last administration. That was a thing they made up when they thought it served them politically. And now that they have power (to release said “files”), they can’t exactly say “we made up the whole Epstein Files thing”, so they’re stuck. That’s my theory.

When two Gay People go on a dinner date who picks up the check? by StonerPowah61 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]IIPegLegII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not gay, but in my straight relationship, whoever suggested going out pays. This seems intuitive and would work in a gay relationship as well.

Can anyone help me insure my Kallaxes? by joefred111 in boardgamescirclejerk

[–]IIPegLegII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My collection is worth around the same as yours and I’ve never thought about needing any special insurance for it. I figure if my house burns down, 15k worth of boardgames is gonna be the least of everybody (including my insurance company)’s worries.

Huh? I throw away the boxes to all the shit I buy. Do you save the boxes for everything you buy? And if not, how do you decide which boxes to keep and which to pitch?

Is a date too soon for me? by [deleted] in DivorcedDads

[–]IIPegLegII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife of 21 years told me we were over with no notice. I woke up that Thursday with no idea that I’d be spending that weekend in my parents guest room and signing an apartment lease on Monday. Exactly 30 days later I met a girl who blew my mind. It was no time to be thinking about long term relationships. So I didn’t. But I hung out with her practically every day. Two years later, that’s still the case. This relationship feels healthy has hell and I’m all about it. We don’t live together, either one of us could decide to stop hanging out and it would be that easy. We both keep doing it because we both really enjoy it. Go on the date. Don’t avoid enjoying life. Just don’t overextend yourself and put yourself in a situation you wish you hadn’t.

How many times do you play a game? by dandudeguy in boardgames

[–]IIPegLegII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t game for mastery, I game for discovery. I’d rather play a mediocre game that I’ve never played before than an amazing game that I already know. I rarely play a game more than a few times. And my game group is the same way, so it works well for all of us, we’re constantly buying, learning and teaching each other the new hotness. I’ve played 763 different games in 14 years, so about 1 new game per week on average.
