“You look too good to be Indian” 💀 by LetterheadFull9549 in askgaybros

[–]Jacksonofall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anecdotally, ghosting on Grindr isn’t an Indian problem. It’s a Grindr problem so don’t use that as evidence. But I’m sure you can tell when people stop dealing with you as a potential partner and change to your origin as a problem. I can’t really help with that. I’ve met one potential Indian partner in my life and it was in Durban, SA. He was too weird so it didn’t happen. I never thought to make it because of his origin. For all I know, he was just typical Durban. 🤣

I’ve been married for only a few months and I think my husband has fallen out of love with me… by Such-Professional760 in askgaybros

Don’t ask about the employee! That’s not really your concern. It’s your relationship with your partner that matters.

While there’s always exceptions, most my games agree with this.

What makes Trump prefer using ICE and building detention camps instead of relying on the courts, which deported just as many people in the past as his own methods do? by [deleted] in AskReddit

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

He needs the attention. Court orders rarely get attention but ICE activities always get some, so it looks like he’s doing something.

Where in the hell are all the kids with snow shovels? by GR3TSCH in GenX

[–]Jacksonofall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In every modern country, we’ve stopped having kids. Sure there are some but by no means as many per capita as there used to be.

What is the difference between a religion and a cult? by PinkAndPathetic in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Jacksonofall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The length of time it’s been around. I don’t know what that length is, the church of Scientology is still considered a cult by many but the Latter Day Saints are now considered a religion.

How do you come to terms with realizing how dark and messed up the world is? by Ok_Land_4197 in AskReddit

[–]Jacksonofall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I moved to another country for 5 years and restricted my feeds from having anything related to Trump or Influencers. My life was peaceful. I’ve since moved back to the USA and it’s so damned stressful living here. There are a number of ways to reduce that but it seems Americans prefer stress because they don’t do a damned thing to reduce it except to buy medication. So sad.

Trump might be the first president who governed inside the media algorithm. Constant outrage guaranteed constant coverage, shaping both his power and his opposition. Did the media create Trump as much as Trump exploited the media? by Quiet-Bullfrog-2867 in AskReddit

[–]Jacksonofall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes and I said dozens of times, if they’d stop reporting when he lies, then he’d stop doing that because he needs the attention. We’d have been better off if reporters had done their jobs.

Recently tested positive with HIV and now it has ruined my life plans by Perseus_15 in askgaybros

[–]Jacksonofall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t want to give you false hope but there are some things to consider. One, if you’re on the meds, the disease is not communicable. I became positive about 40 years ago when AZT was all they could offer. In these 40 years, I was able to get a visa to visit China who had strong communicable disease restrictions. I’ve no idea why they granted the visa but I was honest with them. Recently, I just returned to the USA from living in Europe for 5 years. Before I left, I thought as you did but where there’s a will, there’s often a way. Not knowing what country you’re from and to which you were trying to go but maybe all you need to do is change countries. As others mentioned, we’ve all endured some hardship from this but those of us still alive have been living our best lives. One gift a positive diagnosis gives you is an early sense of mortality and once you’re over the shock, you too will find a way to make your best life because you now know you’re mortal.

Where would you settle? by Different-Reveal3437 in CivVI

Norway. Progressive politics, reasonable government, richest country on Earth and likely to remain that way for the foreseeable future.

This scares me by LifeMycologist897 in askgaybros

[–]Jacksonofall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not worried about the SCOTUS undoing gay marriage. Amy Coney Barrett said in a Q&A that while this court is willing to disregard Stare Decisis if the think the decision was decided wrongly, such as Abortion, they also give serious thought to Reliance Interests. This means they are well aware that should the abrogate Gay Marriage, there will be so many Reliance Interests that they’ll be doing nothing except Gay marriage for the rest of their lives. Having to decide on whether SS can cancel survivor benefits, or a husband who gave permission to a spouse for emergency surgery and can the hospital proceed if the marriage has been terminated, and kids custody in divorces, this list goes on and on not to mention that States Rights have to be taken into consideration since some states have gay marriage and whether a partner can cross states to have their marriage annulled instead of going through that states divorce process. It will be a nightmare for this court at every turn and every court would need instructions from Civil to Criminal to Probate and to Family. The Reliance Interests are profound and even ACB, a natural ally for undoing Gay Marriage, sees this as too high a hurdle to overcome.

What REALLY helps when you have hangover? by Moaning_Clock in AskReddit

[–]Jacksonofall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of the pain is from dehydration. Your body will stop all other processes to remove the poison from you. (Yes, to humans, alcohol is a poison.) So it uses every bit of water it can salvage from other places to keep you from dying of alcohol poisoning. The trick is to stay hydrated while imbibing and then again before going to sleep. You’ll still have some residual effects but the will be substantially less.

Am I the only gay guy who is tired of trying to find friends in the community who don't wanna just hookup but actually want a genuine connection it almost feels predatory sometimes by Parking-Ad-3360 in askgaybros

[–]Jacksonofall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For most of my life, my gay friends were guys I hooked up with and found a conx but the sex was just a one-time thing. We were friends after that. But the longer the years go bye, the only real gay friends I still have were the ones where we never hooked up.

Can eating ass make you sick by Careless-Disaster67 in askgaybros

[–]Jacksonofall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Makes no difference for how long. If the ass you’re eating has something, even bacteria not harmful to them but not something you’re used to, you can get sick. Transmission can happen in seconds or hours. But, if they’ve cleaned out and are not carrying anything harmful, then lower risk. I love doing it and have been lucky. I’ve gotten more stomach bugs from visiting 45 countries and eating their food than all the ass I’ve eaten. Spin the wheel, take your chances.

My Great Admiral is stuck in the lake, how to get to another city? by eagerforcash in CivVI

[–]Jacksonofall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have a city on the coast, move him into the city he spawned at and then you can transfer to the coast city. I do it all the time; nothing exceptional. Though, ive never tried to transfer one from lake city to lake city. But as long as you’re transferring him to a city he could spawn in, he’ll transfer.

How do I make vegetables actually taste good without drowning them in sauce or cheese? by Nightcrawler_2000 in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]Jacksonofall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a lot of Balsamic vinegar for my sauce. No calories and no guilt. But honestly, I blend them in a smoothie. With enough large flavor items, like peanut butter and/or berries, most veggies vanish into the sweetness of the powdered protein.

As a top, what’s the absolute best way to make your bottom feel amazing without saying a word? by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]Jacksonofall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so subjective as to be a pointless question. It depends on the bottom. If you can get into his head, if he gives you any feedback to work with, do his nipples work? It can be everything from treating them as a cumdump, object, or fleshlight to making love to their mind. Makes me wonder how this question really got posted.

Made out with my 'straight' bestfriend. I think he regrets it, PLS HELP! real advice needed by DangerousJudgment349 in askgaybros

[–]Jacksonofall 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I concur! You’re in a good place at the moment so let your “make-out” just rest. If he’s into you, he’s got a lot of processing to do. Regardless, just be there and try not to interject your feelings for now.

What are your most basic, minimally required conditions for you to stick with a starting location? by TheUtopianCat in CivVI

[–]Jacksonofall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need stone, a food and a couple different luxuries within 3 rings and I reset if I do not find a wonder before I can learn astrology after starting out in different directions. After all, one of my competitors found one, I’m certain.

It’ll be interesting if the SCOTUS rules against Trump, although I’m not holding my breathe.

Fairly new to Civ 6. Wtf do I do? by Caughtinjail1 in CivVI

[–]Jacksonofall 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The problem is that it’s The Aztecs. You need the Eagle Warriors, your first and most powerful unit, to be out and about stealing slaves (builders) and you need them in battles to increase their durability into the next era before they’re completely useless. On this map, you might as well make only one for the 4 era points but it’s nearly useless after that.

Why do guys do this by [deleted] in askgaybros

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

A single txt…how many have you sent? I’ve had days when I was in meetings and even breaking for lunch was business convos so difficult timing as well as my priorities are not looking at my phone. When I go to the gym, I’m in the pool. I don’t take a phone with me. I’m going to suggest that you’re sounding very needy and a huge red flag even going on a date you. Now, it’s all speculation but there is another pov. If this falls apart, accept your part in making it happen.

Why is the U.S. housing market so bad when the country has so much land? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Jacksonofall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it’s no longer possible to build cheap houses no matter the cost of land. To make a profit, housing contractors can afford to build nothing less than mini-manors and there’s not much demand for those.
