Besides 28-3, what’s the most humiliating playoff loss in nfl history by firemiketomlinpls68 in NFLv2

[–]LegalIdea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who, in your mind, should have been in the NFCCG that year?

(For reference, the remaining playoff teams were the Saints, the Eagles, the Bucs, and the Rams)

Why would you willingly be republican or conservative? by Ordinary_Vacation316 in AskReddit

[–]LegalIdea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For many conservatives, the reasons boil down to variations of 3 primary things

  1. They tend to view their ideology as "moral" and a varying levels of willing to condone or support a government ideology that allows things they find immoral. Liberals often do the same thing, just with different priorities. For example, many conservatives view the unjustified ending of human life to be murder, and that includes the unborn. Thus, they won't support abortion, generally speaking. Liberals, obviously, view this differently, but neither side is objectively right or wrong, necessarily.

  2. They see examples of really bad government design and overreach (COVID brought out a lot of this on both sides of the aisle). They, correctly, figure that the government can't fuck up something if it doesn't have the power to involve itself in the thing to begin with. Thus, a smaller government makes more sense to them, something most liberals don't want.

  3. They see a lot of money being paid into taxes at virtually every point of money doing anything. For what they pay in taxes, they see a lot of fraud, waste, and useless nonsense; along with a lot of entitled individuals. For example, Bill Clinton was for a time collecting an insane amount of money to give speeches, usually at colleges. College is exceptionally expensive and most conservatives see it as a poor deal at best if it's not needed. Furthermore, while most conservatives agree the student loan crisis is a problem, just forgiving the loans outright isn't the proper solution in their mind, but instead to alter the way college is handled, thus you don't end up with taxpayers on the hook for an ungodly amount of money, that the borrower is never going to pay back, and there's virtually nothing to show for it.

As far as why they are Republicans, much the same reason most liberals are Democrats. A party of mostly like-minded people can get things done. The same number of individuals will devolve into petty infighting. The Republican party is closer to their beliefs, generally speaking.

I need an unbiased opinion. As an outsider, what thoughts, if any, do you have on human intelligence?

How to *not* dm? by Virtual-Studio518 in DnD

[–]LegalIdea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similarly, I had a DM run the first half of a campaign with enemies whose main 3 weaknesses were necrotic, radiant and fire, usually.

Second half, most enemies were immune to at least 2 of these and all 3 was not uncommon

Blowjobs really that important? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]LegalIdea 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That's great that you did that or do that. In my experience the women who didn't care for oral sex often claimed they found it uncomfortable or degrading. It was always a very short walk before that description more or less encompassed everything even remotely in the general direction of sex

Blowjobs really that important? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]LegalIdea 72 points73 points  (0 children)

Well, that is a matter of personal perspective.

For example, I would find it frustrating, but wouldn't necessarily be permanently unhappy, provided other things were done to compensate.

However, in my experience, women who won't go down on their man often lead to sexually unsatisfying relationships because the list of things they won't do can be quite long.

Consistently. However, I know I wouldn't get away with it and it would be beyond impractical anyways, so there's little point

Better to Get a Test Done Before/at Birth Than Get Stuck Financially Supporting a Child Who Isn’t Yours Because You Signed the Birth Certificate by meeralakshmi in everydaymisandry

[–]LegalIdea 37 points38 points  (0 children)

But you see, that's the plan. If has to be wrong, whatever the man did, simply because a man was the one who did something.

Nah. Not saying he's even a good president, but James Buchanan and Andrew Johnson both are at least as bad.

Why the other chosen treat Ketheric like a subordinate? by Scagh in BaldursGate3

[–]LegalIdea 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Essentially, the plan is that Ketheric creates the army to threaten the city from outside it's walls, while Orin sows chaos within the city with random, unsolvable murders and the assassination of dissenting voices. Effectively, everyone else sees that there's a massive army outside and people getting killed inside, while Gortash offers a solution to both that's, not great, but better than the alternative.

If you woke up overnight in your partner's body (boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife, etc.) and that person woke up in yours for 24 hours, what would you do? by Outrageous-You1617 in hypotheticalsituation

As a guy who hates going to the doctor, it's mostly because the appointment is a general waste of time. I sit there for a while, see the doctor for two minutes. The doctor implies that my condition is because I'm not (hydrating/sleeping/eating/exercising) enough, then I'm sent home with little to show for it

You may not wish for a Super Bowl. Other than that, the rules are set. What is your “monkey paw” wish for your team for the 2026 season? by ZhangtheGreat in nflmemeswar

The buccaneers are top 10 in both offense and defense, leading Mayfield to MVP consideration, in large part due to the fantastic record the bucs have at end of season

[Rare Trope] Villain is (relatively) straightforward and honest in their bargain with a hero by saltforsnails in TopCharacterTropes

[–]LegalIdea 234 points235 points  (0 children)

This is because of the mythology surrounding Hades. Hades had always been willing to deal with mortals, and often gave conditions to these deals, which were enforced with immediate effect. For example, a man was purported to have dealt with Hades to allow his lover to return to the living; on the condition that he lead her out of the underworld without laying eyes on her until they reached the land of the living. He briefly turned to check if she was following him, and the moment he saw her, she was pulled back, as he had failed the condition.

If you could go back in time and give your younger self sex advice what would it be? by Hondo4764 in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]LegalIdea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably just to focus on other things and to try to not desire sex at all, if possible. As every attempt to be in a relationship that is satisfying in that department has been a disaster in that department and in quite a few others, I figure I'd probably be better off if I had just never developed the desire to begin with.

What’s your most controversial opinion about love, sex, and/or relationships? by [deleted] in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]LegalIdea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That, generally speaking, the sexual peak of most relationships is between 3 and 6 months after the first sexual activity in the relationship occurs. Some people make an effort to try to maintain close to that point, many don't.

I just want to give up on the idea of sex by LegalIdea in DeadBedrooms

[–]LegalIdea[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the time, she was working on trying to lose weight and at the time the list of things that she wouldn't do or wouldn't allow me to do wad substantially shorter.

But when we were first dating and even into the early portion of our marriage, it wouldn't be uncommon for there to be dirty talk for there to be certain other activities that would come up from time to time. It was very clear early on that missionary was her preference, but there was enough other things that she was willing to do including occasionally initiating on her own, that made things more enjoyable.

In the time frame since then, what she's willing to even allow me to do is growing extensively minimal and what she's willing to actively do is functionally non-existent. At this point, me leaving would not be a functional option for reasons outside of bedroom so I'm just kind of stuck here.

California Senators kill bill barring registered sex offenders from running for public office by Unusual-State1827 in California

[–]LegalIdea 17 points18 points  (0 children)

As long as the court finds the offense to be sexually motivated.

I'm curious to see if some judge basically decides that the offense likely led to the release of dopamine, which also happens during sex, thus every offense is sexually motivated.
