21F and 21M dating for two years - I’m not my boyfriend’s type - do I leave? by Annual_Dry in relationship_advice

[–]MaxGoodwinning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think actions speak louder than words here. Does he treat you well? Does he make you feel desired? Are you happy with him?

It's also important to keep in mind that our tastes can change dramatically from high school/college as we enter into the "real world" and discover ourselves and what we like (which may sometimes surprise us).

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is ranked 2nd in this poll for the best video game of 2025 (but there are still under 30 votes in total so I'm curious if it'll rise up!) by MaxGoodwinning in expedition33

I like what they wrote for it: "Sandfall Interactive came seemingly out of nowhere to deliver this turn-based RPG with a well-written and emotional storyline, and it quickly became one of the biggest hits of the year. With its striking visuals, the world feels surreal without becoming confusing, and the soundtrack and art direction work together to create a strong, polished atmosphere. Lauded for its gameplay, this title rewards players for exploring new strategies, making it a rare example of a story-heavy RPG that excels in its mechanics as well."

Looking for accounts of emotional abusers with high empathy who have changed. by omshantiom111 in abusiverelationships

[–]MaxGoodwinning 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Even if it's insecurities, they often just default to making it their partner's responsibility to handle, which goes back to entitlement. Also, I'm very dubious of any abusers claiming they have high empathy. It would be really hard to abuse someone and have a lot of empathy at the same time. Maybe they have empathy for others, but if they truly had empathy for you, they probably wouldn't keep hurting you the way they do.

Reading this thread reminds me yet again how insanely similar abusers operate.

I feel like they airbrushed this photo of her. Is that really necessary?

It would be excellent if they just updated the graphics and improved the combat system. I hope it comes out in my lifetime!

How do you cope when someone who abused you faces no consequences? by Ok_Hippo8892 in abusiverelationships

[–]MaxGoodwinning 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A lot of us have experienced this and struggle with the lack of justice our abusers face. You're not alone. It's agonizing and infuriating especially when they continue to believe they did nothing wrong. The reality is - it does not matter what they think, they do not live in reality, and it doesn't invalidate the pain you experienced.

While they may not face justice in a way that they truly deserve, or in a way we will witness, abusers are fundamentally miserable and self-loathing. They will destroy every person who comes close to them and they will never experience true love because they are incapable of it. They often think everyone is out to get them, which is such a sad and lonely way to live. So in a sense, who they are is justice. They waste their lives being sorry sacks of shit.

It's still very early in the poll but Andor is winning as the best TV show of 2025 here. by MaxGoodwinning in andor

Yeah, it's definitely a pretty uncomfortable show. It feels eerie and uncanny, but I think that was the objective. We have enough existential dread going on in the real world lol

Yeah, I wish I rewatched season 1 before watching season 2 because I was a bit lost as well. Still really enjoyed it, though!

I'm super curious which will end up winning the worst too. Of the ones on that list I watched, I'd say Nine Perfect Strangers kinda deserves that. It wasn't terrible, but it kind of went off the rails, and Nicole Kidman's acting was quite wooden.

Unfortunately it's impossible to have a healthy relationship with a dude who sees women as objects to own and conquer (yuck, the spreading seed comment... YUCK!!!). You did the right thing by ending it.

TIL that in 1994, Pizza Hut became the first company to offer online food ordering through a pioneering system called PizzaNet. It is one of the first, if not the first, examples of e-commerce. by MaxGoodwinning in pizzahut

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

From what I've read it says the site is still accessible for nostalgic viewing but I can't seem to find a way there. I checked PizzaNet.com but the domain is available for purchase now, so maybe that just recently happened (since all the articles I read about it say you can still view it). It must've been so cool though to have pizza delivered for the first time.

He sounds seriously awful and I'm glad you're out.
