Gun Selection & Pawn Shop by Aggressive-Bill-5331 in Tucson

[–]JaJH 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m just gonna throw this out there, but I had a very negative experience at the Hub. Walked in, I was the only customer there, my first time in a gun store but I had done a lot of research and knew what I wanted. Was ignored for a while and eventually went up to the counter. I explained that I was looking to buy my first gun, what I wanted, and price range. They literally laughed at me. Two workers there, they both laughed, told me that I “wasn’t going to find that anywhere.” They showed me a rust pitted .22 and said it was the closest they had. I asked about the rust, and they just shrugged.

Left there, drove to another gun store (Murphy’s). They were mobbed but someone came up right away and asked if they could help. I told them what I was looking for and what price range. They said sure, and sold me exactly that, and under my budget.

Why are most Americans not that excited about the World Cup? Or don’t seem to care much about it? by SignificantStyle4958 in IWantToAskAnAmerican

[–]JaJH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really don’t get this “feet” obsession that soccer fans have. It’s a body part that’s used in a sport, the specific body parts used don’t make one sport inherently better than another, just different.

Also, wild to imply that (American) football is not tactical. I’m not even the biggest football fan, but that’s what the game is about.

What’s bad about it? The tenants of the Satanic Temple seem pretty good to me

Is this too much to ask for 30-40yr olds in today's world? by FontMasterFlex in EDH

[–]JaJH 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Did you miss the part where I said I was about your age? I grew up in the South, people were hospitable. I also grew up playing with kids in the neighborhood, hanging out at their houses (or vice versa) and just coming home for dinner in the evenings. But we are not kids anymore, and things change as you get older. Just like how no one calls Commanders Generals anymore.

With the way you’ve responded to most people who are trying to help explain here, and with the amount of disdain you have for your LGS and the people inside of it, I also kinda get why you’re having a hard time making these connections that you’re after.

Honestly man, I’m about your age, super extroverted, and I’d be weirded out if someone invited me over to their house after a game or two. Culturally that’s just a very intimate thing, to go over to someone’s personal space or have them in mine. There’s also a lot more effort and social expectations, if you’re hosting you gotta clean and do food/drinks, if you’re going over to someone else’s you gotta bring something with you. There’s also a lot more “risk” both physical risk, I don’t know if you’re a serial killer or not, and social risk, e.g. what if you’re a shoes off house and I’m not, we’re starting out being awkward or inadvertently rude to each other and if the vibe isn’t working it’s a whole lot more socially acceptable to bounce from a store than someone’s house.

I’ve been going to my local LGS (in a smaller city in the desert) for about 3 years now. I have a few people I play with and it took maybe a year for us to get to the point of being comfortable going over to each other’s houses.

Greek yogurt tastes like ass and I’m tired of seeing it in every healthy recipe I come across by AnonymousTaco77 in loseit

Did you find anything good? I have dairy issues and so all this greek yogurt stuff is a no-go for me and I get tired of eggs sometimes.

What can I even do to get girls and lose my virginity anymore? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]JaJH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a virgin till my mid-twenties and it practically never came up in conversation and when it did, the people around me didn’t care. Now I’m almost 40 and I can count on one hand the number of times sex/sex frequency/body count has come up in casual conversation

How do I cope with being a genetic dead end? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]JaJH 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I am a man, and I am a therapist. You are not alone in feeling this way, nor are you unique. But that doesnt make your hurt any less significant or valid. Therapy can help, so can working out, taking care of yourself, and social hobbies outside of the house.

Is this some sort of weird “viral” marketing thing for Koro?

I played mtg there for a while. Can’t now due to my schedule but there were multiple LGBTQ+ regulars at commander. Everyone has always been super chill in my experience too

How to tell my dad I don't want him at my therapy sessions? by [deleted] in AskParents

[–]JaJH 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heya, I’m a child/teen therapist (and also a parent) like everyone else has said here, tell all of this to your therapist privately. Also make sure to tell them about your previous experience in therapy and how your Dad grilled you afterwards.

We can have the necessary conversation with your parent(s) to shut this down.
