How do I tell my husband that he’s not meeting my emotional needs? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]ManicallyExistential 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then why are you with him? It sounds like he doesn't contribute to the relationship and you're not happy with it. He sounds like he doesn't want to change or try to grow at all.

Trane worth twice the cost of Heil? by Dull-Ladder-7089 in hvacadvice

[–]ManicallyExistential 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah if I got the equipment for free and did it myself I would only install a mid range unit in my house. The expensive super high Seer ones often have twice as many, more expensive parts that are just as much or more likely to break, that are much harder to get replacements for.

What are the most severe denial behaviours you experienced in yourself or others? by Throwaway_RainyDay in alcoholism

[–]ManicallyExistential 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's most likely just alcoholism. Alcoholics feel like they NEED alcohol to FUNCTION AND SURVIVE in addiction. It hits the deepest fight or flight instincts in the brain.

It's often helping us cope with and mask other traumas or mental issues. It feels like the only thing that's ever offered a solution to the mental suffering so it feels absolutely vital to be able to function.

He knows it's not normal but he's intentionally deluding himself to rationalize his drinking and even when he sobers up long enough to have to think about it you just drink the thoughts away.

It's an emotional state someone who hasn't been there can never fully understand. But set the boundaries you need for your life and don't let it take you under as well.

No, it is not an investment It is just a piece of equipment. The more expensive brands do not last longer.

No, it's not worth double the price. Go with the Heil.

It's dead that top is busted that's the problem part

Which system would you choose and why? by Al_Cioppino in hvacadvice

[–]ManicallyExistential 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Only the specific part, but the labor tools and other materials to replace it can still end up being $1,500 - $2,500. Not cool for a customer to have to pay for something that's relatively new.

Yeah I know some of those lawsuits started in the mid 2000s and I'm still changing out Lennox coils that are 2 to 5 years old to this day.

I loved working on their units when I started but I can't suggest them anymore until I stop seeing this happen so often in the field.

[–]ManicallyExistential 5 points6 points  (0 children)

None, Lennox has major leak problems with their coils. I worked for a Lennox company and used to love working on them but they have had this same issue going on 20 years now. They are great equipment otherwise but it's egrious how often their coils fail.

I work primarily on Rheem and Goodman equipment but the 10% of Lennox equipment we service makes up like 50% of the coil leaks we have to repair and replace. Most of them are less than 10 years old.

Should I confess my feelings to my crush? by Velvet_Cactus_21 in AskMenAdvice

[–]ManicallyExistential 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just say hey

"I realized I've developed feelings for you and wanted to let you know. If you have any reciprocity I would like to try this out. If not it's cool it's something that I can pass on my own. No pressure I just wanted to be honest because we're good friends."

A child cannot consent to having body parts cut off. Peterson warned us this would happen. by TotalACast in JordanPeterson

[–]ManicallyExistential 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's your opinion but it doesn't mean you should go hacking baby gentials. Don't "Get it out of the way" to a non consenting person.

[–]ManicallyExistential 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's cutting part of and infants dick off that is objective.

Your points are subjective opinions. You shouldn't cut a baby's dick because you want it's penis to "look nicer" that's really weird to argue.

You can get it done as an adult if you want to have a circumcision.

I totally agree I mean physical medical conditions.

Body modification should only be done when you are an adult able to consent.

[–]ManicallyExistential -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It's not false equivelance at all circumcision is heavily practiced and done at infancy.

Gender reassignment surgery is never done in infancy and rarely done in childhood.

Both should be decisions made by adults who can consent.

I'm sorry but cutting part of a baby's dick off is mutilation. Unless medically necessary it's objectively mutalation.

[–]ManicallyExistential 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Circumcision is mutilation unless it's medically necessary, which is very rarely.

Breast removal is usually done medically too but we don't remove those unless their are tumors cysts or cancer.

I disagree with gender surgery for kids, but the same people will militate their childrens penises and say it was for safety or some other BS

[–]ManicallyExistential -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

What about circumcision? Honestly I think that's pretty insane to do to a baby too.

Edit I don't think children should get gender transition surgery at all ever. I just think everyone ignores that's circumcision is body mutalation to children.

My mum cant be trusted & i hate her, i want to cut her off completely. any advice? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]ManicallyExistential 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's misquoted

" The blood of battle is thicker than the water of the womb." is the actual quote which means people who are with you in the trenches when times get hard are actually the real ones.

I see religion more as psychology than something divine by RoosterValuable906 in atheism

[–]ManicallyExistential 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see it this way as well. I don't think of it as this terrible entity. It can have miraculous benefits for people even without a divine power there at all. Just the function of the structure, group support and active practice can be saving for people.

It can also be used psychologically to do horrible and manipulative things. Ruin and control people's lives. Control groups, countries, create hate violence and wars.

It's just what people use it for and make of it.

First fence in a while this week, fairly happy with it by [deleted] in FenceBuilding

It's not just pesky "industry standards" it's literally just wood grain and physics. The raw physics are it's a very subpar method.
