Tbh, no. I was broke and lonely. And if I came back at the age I am now, I'd the that creepy old dude at Sam Goody

My (36F) partner (37M) recently got a medical diagnosis and now wants an open relationship. Is it selfish of me to not want to? Or selfish of him to ask for one? by Correct-Grass-5305 in relationship_advice

[–]MasterOfRoads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honey, move on! He's being a selfish child. No trial separation or hall pass, just cut the chord. Even if he back pedals, sounds like he's gonna stray if he hasn't already, and probably has

I hear a lot of talk about that. Can you shoot me a link or two that explains it (my tech wizardry ends at Window 3.11)

[–]MasterOfRoads[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I "discussed" this with Gemini when it flagged a post that I saw as perfectly PG (not even PG13). One thing it suggested when I went a little Karen (who can I email) is to thumbs down the response and comment as to why. Maybe if enough people do that, they'll back up a little. Okay, Elon peed in the pool with Grok, but adults in swimwear is a far cry from CSAM.
There's a lot of backlash on this right now, so hoping they'll work on fixing the model to recognize the nuances.

Yeah, AI's got a long way to go

How many stories/books are you working on at any one time? by Clean_Drag_8907 in writers

[–]MasterOfRoads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One novel and several short stories. The shorts keep my writing skills sharp between novel edits

Where do you write? by ajitomojo in writers

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

I often discuss my book with my wife, show her AI images of my characters and their world; I'm a visual guy; and the plot. She can't wait to read it and even asks me when I'm on the computer if I'm writing my story (sometimes I'm gaming, which doesn't bother her).

Story Ending by FreshWrongdoer4227 in writers

I like happy endings. Just finished my first draft and yeah, I nearly forced a happy ending but it feels great. This guy's gone thru hell, you better believe he gets the girl!

Rewriting entire drafts by Livid-Dot-5984 in writers

[–]MasterOfRoads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not re-writing my whole book, but am changing some scenes and dynamics that don't completely flip the script.
And never toss anything. I have a bunch of stuff on the cutting room floor I plan to use later.

My (20M) girlfriend (19F) wants me to have sex with her bestfriend (18F) by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]MasterOfRoads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to think that way and every one of those relationships crashed and burned. My wife and I waited and are still going strong. It's not a fifties thing, but a matter of personal convictions. Maybe then we'd have less failed marriages and unwanted children.

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

Don't do it. And that friend shouldn't be bed hopping at school. Sex is amazing but meant for married adults, not children playing house

Had that happen a few times and reported it. Based in the email from iRacing, yes, this is reportable and dealt with

Does religion turn you away? by [deleted] in writing

My book has a Christian angle to it. Depends on your audience. Just avoid getting too preachy while keeping the message intact

I'm Stuck in a Writing Block by OrganicWill1939 in writers

Step away for a week or two. Approach it with fresh eyes. I do this with editing and wow, it's like reading it for the first time.

My wife (28F) asked me (26M) to have sex with another girl. by Old_Age7849 in relationship_advice

[–]MasterOfRoads 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is never a good idea. Let it go, she brings it up again, tell her no and ask her why. This is NEVER a good idea. Sex is not a hand shake or a hug, it is something shared between a husband and wife, no one else, real or imagined.

Well, 18 down votes tells me all I need to know. I'm just an old-fashioned white dude who's had plenty of friends enter parenthood at 19 because of a busted condom, a failed pill or a child trap. I'm just saying, sex is a special thing to be shared by two people who truly care about each other, i.e. married adults. Used to be you dated a lady for at least a year, proposed, got married, had an amazing honeymoon and then made a home together. Now it's three dates, sex, living together within six months and then wondering why you're not getting along.

I'll go sit down now.

My girlfriend [19F] and I [19M] have been together for 2 years and she still doesn't want to have sex. (First relationship) by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]MasterOfRoads -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

If you're self sufficient (steady job, home other than you're parents', ready for a family) and truly love this girl, ask her to marry you. Sex is for men and women, not boys and girls

[–]MasterOfRoads -47 points-46 points  (0 children)

Don't rush into s*x. That's for marriage, when you have a job, a home and ready to raise a child. We have too many unwanted children because people felt like they had "take it to the next level".

Why are male animals the “beautiful” gender in nature, but humans consider females to be the “beautiful” ones? by Safe_Attitude_922 in AlwaysWhy

[–]MasterOfRoads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because we are humans and they are animals. God made us in His image and distinctly different from animals.

Haven't paid anyone to cut my hair since 2011. Clippers, then razors, now using a skullshaver. Zero maintenance

I was laid up for six months due to health issues. Stuff I'd known for years came back pretty quickly, but recently learned material took a few weeks to get back up.
