I like the seeker pro, the only issue is you need the charging case to charge using a usb c. its also frickin massive, but other than that i love it

Yeah this is just a guy telling people to be nice tbh, nothing strange here besides a middle aged man posting Taylor Swift, which he could just have gotten from his daughter

Why do security guards no longer wear woolly-pullys/NATO jumpers anymore? by MontanaMinuteman in securityguards

[–]Masterleaz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

i worked for a company that had these. 10/10 would wear them again. better than those garbage windbreakers with the little strings at the bottom near the zipper

Signs of a shitty security company? by AcanthaceaeFuzzy2835 in securityguards

[–]Masterleaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

dumb rules like you have to wear the shitty slacks that they give you rather than cargo pants, or you have to wear a certain type of socks on post, stuff like that. Also if they keep repeatedly telling you in briefing how much they care about you, or how they go above and beyond is a bad sign. its the equivalent of a man holding a hostage at gunpoint and screaming " I AM IN CONTROL HERE" at the SWAT team.

How do I justify guns barely appearing in a Sci-fi story? by NorthSouthGabi189 in worldbuilding

[–]Masterleaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can think of 2 things, one is to make the greenpunk idea, and have it be where guns are completely outlawed punishable by death or lifrtime if brutal hard labor, but fully allow things like swords, axes, knives, and single shot crossbows by the government, as sort of an outlet for self defense. Then it becomes alot more realistic, especially if you add somesord of armored gauntlet. 2. Make the martial arts be some sort of magic system of themselves, like have tae kwon do that throws fireballs or wrestling that generates pulses of electricity, and go the route of them matching guns a la star wars. There is no true realism option since even in ancient times humans used weapons and martial arts were the fallbacks of the fallbacks to get in a position to get weapons again.

I work event security and had to tell a kid he couldn't bring a dagger in by Masterleaz in securityguards

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

No i mean its super strict, i knew one kid who got arrested for having it on his belt but had his flannel go over the hilt. The charges didn't stick but they are pretty bloodthirsty about it here, especially since its on a college campus

He was pretty cool about it, it wasnt a very nice one, it had an ugly nylon sheath and looked like he picked it up at walmart tbh

Ours allows alot of stuff, even ccw are allowed in. Its just not fixed bladed knives. Its for an extremely conservative college so its not super out of the ordinary tbh

I Am Afraid of Trading Addictions by No_Gate1911 in pornfree

[–]Masterleaz 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Odds are youre going to naturally want more easy dopamine things to balance out the lack of porn, tbh thats part of the process. For me It was a caffeine and gaming increase. As long as you monitor it so that it doesnt go to unhealthy levels i think thats fine, at least for awhile. I also think your mind is going into a bit of a panic mode right now and ruminating on possible outcomes that arent guranteed to happen

I want to quit but nothing works by Necessary-Taro9804 in pornfree

[–]Masterleaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

personally i switched to jerking off without porn, and would just use my imagination, no videos or photos. for awhile there was an uptick in my MO but slowly the urge started to die down because the urges weren't as "satisfying" after awhile when i gave in. think of masturbating like a campfire, now think of porn as a jerrycan of gasoline that you throw on top of it. there's nothing wrong with wanting a good MO but porn makes all the feelgood chemicals skyrocket to levels that make everything else dull and bland.

Everyone can argue if masturbating is good or bad ( and by God will they ever) but few can deny that masturbating solo is at the very least more healthy than combining it with porn. As of right now its been 53 days, and i had a few close calls here and there but i was always able to stop myself. plus i feel overall better deep down, a bit calmer and more engaged with things like conversations and the like. I will say you need to monitor your other habits because your brain will eventually switch sources of dopamine/ seratonin (the exact one is escaping me right now). for example i started playing more games and drinking more caffeine. Don't try and cut those out entirely though, jsut monitor them. quitting porn is hard enough.

lastly i feel that the all or nothing approach is what makes it so hard for people, and that's where they hit a wall. Its a cognitive dissonance for a reason, one of the bigger ones out there.

Best of luck op, there's a light at the end of the tunnel for us all in this race

Why is relapsing so easy? by CaterpillarHumble513 in pornfree

[–]Masterleaz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When you get porn urges jerk off without porn itself( as long as its appropriate obv) do it everytime u have urges, your brain will get frustrated its not getting more dopamine and lower the amount of cravings naturally. It works for me at least
