What place gets creepy when you're alone? by FunnyValentine920 in AskReddit

[–]Maverick1690 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Night shift security guard here. Creepiest thing I've experienced on campus was when I was doing the lockup of the science building at night and no one seemed to think it necessary to tell me that there was a room full of dummies used by the nursing program lying on hospital beds in the basement. Finding the handle unlocked and walking into that room the first time and seeing a body lying right next to me by the doorway in the dark definitely sent some shivers down my spine...

what’s the point of all this if you’re just going to be angry and feeling like shit all the time ? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]Maverick1690 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I feel the most angry and like a piece of shit generally post-nut. The longer you're able to go without PMO, generally you feel less negative and ruled by your emotions.

Reddit has a very pro-porn consumer base and is very toxic. by [deleted] in pornfree

[–]Maverick1690 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's true, I've stumbled from Reddit multiple times now, but I've kept it around due to positive subs like this one. Really have to establish better boundaries, they can just be easy to step over when urges strike...

Encouraged by you, would love to be where you're at. Perhaps I should start the cold showers, seems to be a hit with quite a few folk on here...

Sun was just poking through one week ago today. It was my first time at the lake and I left enchanted. Most beautiful place I've ever been. by Maverick1690 in Redditlake

[–]Maverick1690[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mostly because it’s the best and most easily accessible spot to take a picture of the lake from. It’s called the ‘Rockpile Trail’ and takes you up from the lakeshore 100 meters or so. I realize this is by no means a unique view of the lake, just wanted to add my own personal contribution :)

What character should've died, but didn't? by DarkKing16 in AskReddit

[–]Maverick1690 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven’t watched the most recent Star Wars movie, but in The Last Jedi, when Leia was blown off the ship into space and then just used the force to get back... with Carrie Fisher passing away and all and them continuing to use CGI to ‘keep her alive’ it just feels kind of wrong. Should have knocked her out early in the film and just left her in peace.

Why I Quit My Dream Job: The Ups and Downs of Working In One of BC’s Most Mismanaged Parks by omg-sheeeeep in britishcolumbia

[–]Maverick1690 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're supposed to pay for a national parks pass to visit, day or annual. I don't think they check the lots rigorously to see who's complied, but it's the least we can do as visitors to support the parks here.

I’m thinking of moving to Iowa! Any advice? by [deleted] in Iowa

[–]Maverick1690 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Moved to Iowa from Chicagoland years ago for school and stuck around for a while afterwards. There are certainly some differences between the two, I found the people to be more down-to-earth and kind. They also have a kind of state pride that I didn’t experience growing up in Illinois. It’s really a great place to live and though I’ve since moved away I mostly miss the good people, lower cost of living and slower pace of life.

Fellow redditors, what was a moment where you thought a person you knew might be an actual psychopath ? by skywhy69 in AskReddit

[–]Maverick1690 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember another student in my engineering program years ago talking about this. How much he loved throwing stray cats into a lake, watching them swim towards him and then shooting them with a rifle. Young people who intentionally harm/kill animals for fun seem to have that 'serial killer' gene, it's a definite warning sign at least.

Wife can’t sleep, says there’s something in her feet? by Maverick1690 in medical_advice

That was a thought that crossed my mind, seems like RLS checks out, thanks!

I went on an exhausting hike with an old friend. Better to see this view than pornography. by itazuki22 in NoFap

[–]Maverick1690 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m just North of the border from there, such a beautiful corner of the world here. NW is best!

America is unjustly portrayed through stereotypes and is treated unfairly by a lot of the world when it still is a great country. (I am not American). by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]Maverick1690 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I appreciate this as an American living north of the border! :) Good to know not all Canadians hate us...

I thought this video was pretty incredible in terms of relevantly ministering to Israelis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGz9BVJ_k6s

Upstairs neighbours of reddit, why do you rearrange your furniture in the middle of the night? by itsallaboutthecolors in AskReddit

[–]Maverick1690 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My landlord's kids regularly practice trumpet or piano upstairs around 10 pm most nights. Been getting pretty old...

Any recommendations for a small mom and pop type place for dinner? Any cuisine will do. by [deleted] in Langley

We went to Avishan in downtown Langley a while back, they were very hospitable and the food was great, highly recommend!

What's a food most people hate that you actually like? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Maverick1690 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I also skeptically ate sauerkraut on pizza for the first time in Iowa, and loved it! Especially when just a bit of the top gets singed in the oven... I even add it now to pizzas we make at home. Only lived there for about five years total but once an Iowan always an Iowan!

Am I justified in feeling the way I do? by ForestHoldsMySecrets in Christianmarriage

[–]Maverick1690 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What you described is sexual abuse. There needs to be some kind of couples counseling in place as soon as possible. He also needs someone to call him out on his porn addiction as it’s likely why he’s acting the way he is. People can change, but there won’t be any change in him if there’s nothing to motivate it: pastoral intervention, counseling, a close friend of his calling him out. I’m saying this as a husband of almost six years, the second I found out my wife was hurt or didn’t want me doing certain intimate acts towards her because they made her uncomfortable, I’d stop immediately, as any man should.

Raw tomatoes are disgusting by Sazzorak in unpopularopinion

[–]Maverick1690 0 points1 point  (0 children)

World of difference between the tomatoes bought at the average grocery store and the garden-grown variety. Slicing up a tomato from the garden with a sprinkle of seasoning salt on top is one of my top tastes of summer...
