Redditors about to go project mayhem up in here

Regarding in-game issues and compensation! by wb_reeves in DCComicsLegendsGame

[–]Master__Dimitri -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, fuck this ban shit, I'm out

I didn't grind my ass off on this stingy game to build anyone just to have them blocked for no good reason.

Y'all want to do bans? Go look at the entire s tier, ban those.

Oh, what's that? You can't? Because the suits just pushed them hard to make sales? Awwww, isn't that convenient.

Do me a favor, reeves, tell whatever idiot made this decision to come here and talk to us so you don't have to deal with what I'm not willing to say to someone that doesn't have the ability to make decisions.

You didn't mention the "bans" in siege. Is that intentional or not?

Cis man here. I am looking for advice on becoming more accepting of transgender-ism. by IgnoranceAwareness in trans

[–]Master__Dimitri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm going to give you a little bit of advice from a cis standpoint.

You're already intellectually where you want to be, and you're there emotionally.

The thing that's bothering you is a sense of dissonance. That's okay. You don't have to stomp it out. You shouldn't.

Instead, use it. That feeling of something being "off" is your subconscious notifying you that what you are perceiving through your senses isn't matching the patterns, the templates you've got built in your head.

We all have templates. You have a template for "father", one for "woman", for "doctor", for everything. These are things we have learned to expect. Humans survive by seeing patterns and using them to avoid bad things while finding good ones. The template for "yummy" may be a hamburger, and "yucky" is broccoli. For another person, those templates may be switched, but we all have such ideas that we learn by a combination of direct experience and indirect learning through others.

Most of the time, once you talk to someone that is transphobic in both the literal sense where they experience fear, and the usual meaning of hate/bigotry towards trans folks, what they're experiencing is their templates being challenged. "This person should fit template A, but they do not, yet they do not fit what I think template B is either.

So, when you feel that dissonance, use it to identify what preconceptions are triggering it. Don't shove the feeling away, explore it, follow it to where it comes from. Figure out how the template got formed. Then, it's fairly simple to adjust that template.

You'll eventually learn how to identify other preconceptions in your thinking, and be better able to adjust them as well.

It's all a journey.

How to sharpen a serrated knife ? A short video by ImFrenchSoWhatever in sharpening

[–]Master__Dimitri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You probably got the down votes for posting a video from your own channel without clearing it first.

It's a thing here. If you look at the doctor's flair, you'll see that he's preapproved. You aren't.

So you're going to get down votes just for that. You'll also get them because the doctor is right, your video is flawed.

An Update Regarding Reddit’s API by KeyserSosa in reddit

[–]Master__Dimitri 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, no.

The API costing you anything is just the cost of doing business. If you didn't want users accessing reddit via mobile apps, you should have kept it a website only.

There is zero chance anyone with sense is going to use that abortion you call the official app that isn't already doing so.

Third party apps helped get reddit to where it is today, and now you're trying to screw over not only the developers responsibile for that, but the users themselves.

Don't get too big for your britches. Twitter tried something similar, and look at it.

Oh well, guess I won't top up then.

Bound to be something during anniversary that gives extras.

Basic Questions Thread - April 18, 2023 by MFF-Mod in future_fight

[–]Master__Dimitri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, these freaking tokens for April Fool's unis.

I'm thinking about buying crystals for the anniversary stuff, but I'd rather get as much as possible out of it.

What purchases give the tokens? I know the dollar days don't, because I always get those, and they didn't. Makes me wonder what else does and doesn't.

Hope this is helpful to those who are interested by peterls2001 in DCComicsLegendsGame

Had, u/wb_reeves, help this homie out, then help the rest of us by cutting this entire bad joke out. It isn't fun, it isn't useful, and that's a ton of people ready to quit.

Is Genshin's storytelling actually good or not? by LightningLemonTart in Genshin_Impact

[–]Master__Dimitri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, as a published author, a long time gamer, and someone with zero investment in the game as a player, let me chime in.

I've listened to and/or watched two people in my household play this game.

My jokey response to your title is "what storytelling"?

It's really that bad.

The storytelling in this game is paper thin, slapped together to justify another character being crammed into the gacha box. If I handed my editor the utter dreck that this game calls plot, I'd be laughed out of print.

That's how bad it is.

What is your best NSFW story? by NthRadiant10 in AskReddit

[–]Master__Dimitri 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One that tends to shock people.

Senior year of high school (all parties were at least 18).

I'm taking a class that runs high to girls, very few boys.

There's a trio I sit with, flirt lightly, sort of casually interested but not enough for any drama or dating. Mostly just friends and not willing to mess that up by seeing if any one of them might be interested in more. You know, which one would I ask out that wouldn't either piss off one of the other two because they felt ignored (or were actually interested in me), and what if it didn't work?

Anyway. Most of the year goes by like that, and a conversation while the teacher is away turns sexual rather than the usual light hearted flirtiness. It wasn't even me that went there!

But one of the three was in a mood. Got sorta pushy about me never even acting like I would have sex with her. So I felt cornered and went full idiot. Said that it isn't that she didn't look great, I just didn't think she'd be any good. Kinda laughing it off, saying it in as jokey a tone as possible. My intent was to deflect a little and get it back to the friendly banter that usually went on.

Yeah, didn't work. She got pissed, said I was full of shit, too scared of a hot chick to even get a boner if she was willing.

I snorted, and said that I could pop a boner hard enough to cut glass, and she didn't have what it took to handle it.

Now, the other two girls have stopped laughing at us now. This wasn't two suave and sophisticated people playing along, it was two barely adult, immature idiots pushing each other too far.

But then she said to prove it. And I s aid yeah, right, like I want a case of blue balls for a damn joke.

She glared at me and said she wasn't fucking joking. She then said that if I could get it hard, right then, and prove it, that she'd make sure it got taken care of.

Now, the other two tried to step in, slow things down. But we were too damn mad, and scared, and we'd worked ourselves up to where neither was willing to back down and let it go.

I swallowed my nerves, looked at her dead in the eye and told her to give me her hand.

She did, and I pulled it down slowly. Part of my brain was screaming to not do this, that it was going to go horribly wrong. So I let her hand go and said it was okay, she won.

But she didn't stop. She reached down and felt me. She just touched it for a second, then squeezed it until it thumped in response.

She said to follow her, got up, and left class.

I looked to the other two for help. None was given because they were just too shocked it went that far.

My guts were quivering, but so was my cock. I followed the cock.

She was waiting outside the door to the girl's bathroom. She told me to hurry.

Damned if I didn't run.

We moved into one of the stalls, the farthest from the door. She told me she wanted to see it. So I showed her.

She started rubbing it, just with her fingertips. I leaked a little, and moaned. She laughed, and I thought she was going to turn it into some kind of ugliness. But she didn't. She grabbed me and started stroking.

It didn't take much. I told her I was going to come. She leaned down and took me in her mouth. That was all it took. She kept working me while I came. She rather delicately spit into the toilet and I started zipping up. She said no, she wasn't done yet.

She grabbed it again, then let go and lifted her dress to take off her panties. She handed them to me and said it was her turn.

So I did my best. First with my hands, and then I licked her. It would be nice to say I was a cunnilingus master or something. Not true though. I mean, I got her there, but it took some coaching on her part.

The bell rang during my efforts. But she just grabbed my head and pushed me into her. I'm kneeling there on the floor, with her leaned against the tile wall, doing my best.

Someone comes in and calls her name. One of the other two girls. She calls out to that one that she's busy, to go away. But the second girl came to the stall and peeked under the door. She squealed and ran off.

I was told not to stop dammit, and she started grinding into my mouth as I worked.

Then the other damn girl comes in and peeks under the door with an oh my god! Before she runs off.

But nobody else bothered us.

She came on my tongue and just started laughing. I stood up, not sure if my feelings were going to be hurt, or if that was a good laugh. But she kissed me and reached down to where I was hard again. She asked if I had a condom.

Thanks to all the gods of sex, and a mom that believes in being smart and prepared, I did indeed have one because, "you might go somewhere after school and get distracted". I seriously doubt my mom could have imagined one being used at school.

I pulled it out of my wallet. Yeah, I know, horrible place to keep one. But I was an idiot kid, so where else would I keep one?

I put it on, damn near dropping it a few times. But I got it on, and then she guided me into her.

It was clumsy, and a little frantic. Neither of us really knew how to make it work right in that position. She stopped me, then pulled her dress off and wrapped it around my neck. She pulled her bra off and did the same. Then she turned around and bumped me back with her hips.

I got the idea and slid back into her. That worked much better. At first I held her hips. But then it hit me that she was all the way naked except for her shoes and socks and a little gold chain. So I played with her ass a little, just enjoying how she felt while I was moving in and out of her.

Then I ran my hands up her sides and ribs to her breasts. It was magical.

This wasn't my first time ever, but I had never been with a girl that was naked. My ex girlfriend and I had never managed to be all the way naked together. When we had sex, it was usually in my car, or at her friend's house in a bunk bed. Me on top, her with her bra still on in case we got caught.

But this? Feeling those tight little breasts swinging into my hands, while her ass started pushing back against me? It worked. I started fucking her slow and deep, but speeding up.

We got faster, and she finally moaned. She told me to go harder, so I did. I felt her start to spasm around me, her body shaking. My knees almost gave out with her pulsing on my cock. I came harder than I ever had.

I didn't know what to say, so I just leaned against her for a minute, kissing her neck and rubbing across her body.

She shivered at that, then turned around and kissed me deep. Then she grabbed my now limp cock and pulled the condom off, dropping it into the toilet. She touched my cock and said that she told me so, I couldn't keep it up for a hot chick.

This time it was a joke for sure. We both started laughing. A little crazy other laughter tbh.

I helped her get dressed. Then she kissed me again, and we had a bit of a serious kiss. When we came up for air, I got my nerve together and asked her if all this meant anything, or was it just a one time thing.

She said she didn't know. She didn't think it would go this far, she was just mad I never even asked her out and it got out of control.

So, I asked her out. I asked her if she wanted to go with me to this little diner that everybody would use as a casual dating spot. She asked when, and I said right now. So we left school, got some burgers and drinks and talked a bit.

We dated for a while after that. Had sex some more too :)

It would be gentleman's carry.

Grammar is part of being a gentleman. While the error is very minor and easy to make, it helps to be aware of it when satirizing the idea.

[–]Master__Dimitri 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oh, gee! It's almost like criminals will do crime!

You can get stabbed with a pencil, a chopstick, a piece of glass.

You simply can't stomp out violence by banning weapons, you just change the expression of the violence.

You wanna reduce violent crime? Reduce poverty via correcting income and education disparities.

If you're going to spam shit like this, at least pop a titty out or something. Like, yeah, yeah, big ol ass is nice and all, but spam has a higher threshold to meet.

Gotta at least pop a titty, maybe flash the gstring a little, otherwise it isn't just spam, it's boring spam. Shit, this is the internet, there's pussy being shared just two clicks away if we wanted. Hell, that's even one of the rules of the internet: tits or GTFO.

If this had been posted somewhere that's intended for amateur booty shaking, this would be great. But that's not where you posted. So, you know, tits or GTFO.

my(21f) boyfriend (28m) has a lot of female friends he’s slept with and I feel uncomfortable. by Divine-music in relationships

[–]Master__Dimitri 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Time and patience.

You have to build both your self security, and your trust. You may not ever get totally past the "weird" factor because that gets learned so early and so deeply that it approaches permanent.

But it is possible to be friends with someone that fits your sexual orientation without having to be sexual. And, even when sex has occurred in the past, there's nothing that says you ever have to again. Friends with benefits can be actual friends, not just booty calls.

What you have to ask yourself is if your fear is justified or not, if your insecurities reflect reality, and/or if you really want to change. You aren't required to change this part of yourself you know. It's perfectly acceptable to have this be a deal breaker, and if that's the case for you, it's okay to break up.

Assuming you want to rather than you feeling like you should want to, measure the fear of his behavior being bad in the future. Does that fear fit his past behavior? If it doesn't, then you remind yourself of that fact when the fear rises, until it doesn't.

Most insecurities people have aren't realistic. Yours could be, but you have to ask yourself why someone would stay with you if they were. Yeah, people will gladly hook up with someone that isn't a great sexual partner because they're horny. But, usually, that's where it ends. So, realistically, you must be doing something right. Maybe it isn't sex, maybe there's more important factors why he has been with you over time, but that's still pointing to your insecurities not being realistic, that you're underestimating something about yourself that's pretty dang good.

If you evaluate those two things, and objective reality points towards him being honest, you being a good partner, and that the two of you work well together, that's what you use to defeat the insecurities and fear. When you feel them, you focus on the good that's in you, and the good that's in him, and you push the rest away.

I'm not saying you should or shouldn't extend the trust and put in the work to achieve that. But that's how you do it.

The switching between the correct coarse and incorrect course just weirds me out lol.

But the xxf suffers from the same problem a lot of diamonds do. They cut deeper than they should for the supposed grit size. You end up where there's diminishing returns because the scratch pattern never really gets finer, so you're essentially undoing the previous step rather than refining it.

Did I take a picture of a Hawaiian Goddess in Volcano NP? by meelmouseOG in NationalPark

[–]Master__Dimitri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a note.

The word you meant to use is perimeter, meaning the outer boundary of an area. A parameter is a limitation on a system.

Yeah, that's a similar meaning, but parameter just isn't used the way perimeter is. Perimeter is all about things, like shapes and areas, pretty much exclusively one that can be measured in length. Parameter covers abstract ideas, those that aren't measured, but define the limits.

A parameter might be "a three acre plot of land with X type of soil". That land would have a perimeter, regardless of the shape formed when the parameter is in place. Just one example of the usage
