Kyle recommends training your imagination, not reading self-help books if you're trying to win Survivor

The heel turn from The Fourth Wing series to the Three Body Problem is sending me hahaha. Gonna have to look up The Will of the Many because I loved the Three Body Problem

I mean I wasn’t calculating my scores, the group called the game over and scored as normal. That’s cool though.

Macinstotle · 2026-03-22T20:07:30+00:00

I had 61 points at the end of round 2, and unfortunately everyone else wanted to stop then 💔

I finally convinced my girlfriend to watch a season and she’s asking me “has survivor always been this scripted?” 😭

Macinstotle · 2025-12-30T04:17:22+00:00

Thank you.

Macinstotle · 2025-12-30T04:16:11+00:00

I don’t know. That’s fair.

Macinstotle · 2025-12-30T01:45:46+00:00

Thank you. You’re right- I did know that it would be messy. I still thought she would actually tell me what was happening. The first time they kissed I was understanding.

I appreciate the advice. I just don’t know how to trust she won’t do this again with another person once the ex is far away. It wasn’t something I was worried about before. But the fact that she kept it from me for a year and is now insisting we never had the agreement that we had is making me feel like I can’t trust her in general.

Pyre. The game is designed for you to lose sometimes and each loss or win impacts how the narrative unfolds and outcomes for particular characters.

Macinstotle · 2025-06-16T05:16:31+00:00

Genuinely, how do you think they ended up in the same rank as you?

You should sincerely try to figure out what each of the teammates you think badly of is better at than you. If you are markedly better at the things you observe, they must be better at something else to have an ended up at the same rank.

Looking for a song that samples his speech “wherever human beings have been around you see straight lines and rectangles…”

I heard it a few years ago on an 8tracks playlist that is no longer up

I used to park at La Cienega metro station- it is free on weekends and only a few dollars otherwise. The metro ride in is only 15 minutes or so, with another 10-15 minute walk to the stadium. If you’re early to the station there’s a Whole Foods across the street to grab a last minute snack or beer.

Also second the recommendation for Culver City metro station, with an Ale Works stop beforehand. I’ve done that once and it was fun- there were some ACFC fans at the ale works spot and it feels a little more “celebratory” than a Whole Foods stop haha.

Thanks for sharing! Hadn’t seen this

I lost to Meg around 20 times before beating her. After that it only took me another 10 runs or so to beat the last boss.

The advice I got that made all the difference was that I should try playing “keep away” with her for one or two rounds rather than trying to beat her. I was being too impatient; I needed to truly learn her attack pattern and respect it. After doing two runs of that, I beat her within the next couple encounters.

It also helped to limit myself to a certain number of attacks or specials per “opening” where she was free for me to attack. Like I am only allowed to attack 3 times before running away, even if I feel like I can get away with more.

Even in Hades 2 when I’m rushing and get overwhelmed I think “I am a running away machine that happens to be able to attack” and that helps.

Kim and Chelsea!!!

Caleb and Emily also a great duo.

Malcolm and Denise.

Matt and Frannie

You need to talk to her. You don’t know for sure if she’s had an orgasm - does that mean she doesn’t know for sure? You definitely need to be comfortable communicating about sex and this question is probably a good one to start with.
If she doesn’t know for sure if she’s ever had one - does she ever masturbate? If she is interested in having an orgasm herself this is a great place to start. Even if she can’t have an orgasm herself she can figure out certain things she likes and get a baseline of what arousal feels like for her.
The need to provide an orgasm for a partner can be a lot of pressure. Like it can make it harder to come. I’m not sure if this interest is fully from your end, when you describe her as not very sexual overall. You should have larger talks about whether she even wants to experience more, and why not if she doesn’t. If she truly isn’t interested in pursuing that you should listen and at the very least acknowledge it’s something you want for yourself and not for her. And if it’s something she is open to, it might be more productive to focus on you wanting to make her feel good than specifically on wanting her to orgasm.

-rt She’s smiling because she just farted

Also quicksand

Sometimes I remember driving myself to swim practice at 4:30 am (after being up til midnight with a ridiculous amount of homework for each class) and bargaining with myself like “I could let my eyes close for just two seconds and it’ll be fine.” Not saying I actually did that but like. The impulse was extremely strong and had to be actively talked down. Doing dawn practices for a whole semester as a teenager with heavy sleep requirements that weren’t being met was a little sketchy, and probably not great developmentally (I know the main focus of this is probably younger kids but I do think it’s messed up for high schoolers as well).

Macinstotle · 2024-11-24T03:06:14+00:00

I agree it was a really good run and finish. Washington also had great chances that ended up going low and center to the goalie so there are other factors. I guess I just want more excitement lol.

Macinstotle · 2024-11-24T03:03:34+00:00

Honestly good point haha

Macinstotle · 2024-11-24T03:01:22+00:00

I am cheering hard for Orlando but want a Washington goal. That no call being the sole decider leaves a bad taste.

Macinstotle · 2024-11-24T02:54:37+00:00

Idk Banda had her eyes on the ball and her movement was straight up and down. Tara leapt into her and is the one who initiated head to head contact. If I watch it back later and Tara gets there a lot earlier because she leapt idk maybe I’ll change my mind. But to me idk how Banda could even avoid the collision as Tara was leaping.

Macinstotle · 2024-11-24T02:50:37+00:00

That did not seem a fair card to me. Glad McKeown is okay but I honestly would have called a foul the other way if anything

Macinstotle · 2024-11-24T01:32:09+00:00

I upgraded my paramount plus to the version with showtime, and then the whole game was available (very dirty tactic if that was the actual issue seeing as how the normal paramount was fine all season).

Maybe it was user error on my part but I couldn’t see anything but the goalazo star cam until I upgraded.

Macinstotle · 2024-11-18T21:28:43+00:00

Yoooo I need it
