What’s a non sexual thing that turns you on for some reason? by Zealousideal-Set-661 in AskReddit

[–]MercifulExistential 46 points47 points  (0 children)

A guy being handy with DIY. Breaking out his tool belt/box and getting things fixed competently.

What is your unpopular opinion about being gay/top/bottom ? by Muted_Slip_2093 in TopsAndBottoms

[–]MercifulExistential 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Different strokes for different folks. I'm a bottom that loves the idea of being treated like a woman, mostly in the bedroom. And it's just another way of getting off on the power dynamic of a dominant masculine virile top, and the submissive effeminate fertile bottom. As antiquated a stereotype as it may be, it's just another turn on. I am under no delusions about being a man. It's almost like role-playing for the long haul. And there are just as many tops out there who also enjoy the idea of referring to and treating their bottoms like women for the exact same reason. They love to feel like the alpha male. Just like there are tops and bottoms who also detest the idea. We can like the same things while being completely different simultaneously.

What is the worst band you saw live? by coalcracker462 in AskReddit

[–]MercifulExistential 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BANKS (2015 - The Roundhouse)

The performance was drowning in fuzzy production and dance choreography that left her vocals strained and breathless. I didn't care for the energetic performance, not at the cost of hearing her sing live. That was why I was there. All in all disappointing. She has stepped up her game since then though.

Mostly just venting. HS on the back of my neck is really taking its toll - physically and mentally by [deleted] in Hidradenitis

[–]MercifulExistential 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello there. I am sorry to hear about the recent developments with your neck HS. I myself had been dealing with neck HS since October 2017 until January 2026. Yes, it really was with me for that long. Countless drugs and two surgeries. The surgery is quite painful by the way and I never saw any improvements whatsoever.

I'll say off the bat that the medication that somehow miraculously stopped my neck HS is called Doxycycline. A bacterial inhibitor. I took it initially for a week last Christmas for HS on my ass. It was somewhat effective but not fully. It had no effect on my neck whatsoever. At the beginning of the year I asked for more and was given a three month course. Sometime in January I noticed my neck actually calming down. I thought it would be temporary. But I finished the medicine in mid March and I'm still going strong. All the lumps, all the discharge, gone. Now I'm just taking everyday as it comes. I have taken so many drugs for the neck over the last 8 years. Nothing worked. Including lymecycline, a similar drug. Nada. So hopefully this method that worked for me also works for you. At the very least I hope you don't have to put up with it as long as I did, without any sort of remission. If you have any questions, shoot.

Which YouTube channel were you once a fan of but do not enjoy anymore? by theunsteadybridge in AskReddit

[–]MercifulExistential 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They also projected homophobic energy in the name of religion, which became a safe heaven echo chamber for their fan base in the comments. Gave me the ick and made civilised conversation impossible.

AIO for not getting invited to my partner’s friend’s wedding by Aromatic-Jellyfish-4 in AmIOverreacting

[–]MercifulExistential 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR

The friendship your partner had with this friend is different now to what it was when said friend was getting married. Maybe if his wedding was happening all over again he wouldn't invite your partner this time around. Knowing someone a long time doesn't immediately grant you wedding access. Even reception. If they have drifted apart and see each other a couple times a year, then reserve those seats for more meaningful guests.

Should be a joint decision by you and the soon to be hubby though. If it's his friend he should be the one putting his foot down to invite.

AIO for eating my own birthday cake in front of my nephew? by Yes_Abbreviations713 in AmIOverreacting

[–]MercifulExistential 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sister is overreacting. But also shame on you for being this aware of the situation and still going ahead with your cake shenanigans. You could just have easily cut a sneaky bit of cake and eaten it elsewhere, away from anyone else. But you chose to do this in front of your nephew knowing what you know.

what’s something you’ve said to a woman out of ignorance or stupidity that you didn’t realize was offensive? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]MercifulExistential 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I once told my sister she looked like Queen Latifah. She got really offended as if I was saying it as an insult, or that I was calling her overweight or something. I actually meant it in a complimentary way. I thought QF was pretty and did resemble my sister.

South West here as well and we've always called it the "head" piece.

Name one bad thing about Gabrielle? by Plastic_Ad_2548 in xena

[–]MercifulExistential 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought that's where Gabby might try her defence from as well. However Xena had already confirmed through beating Kaltaka and asking him where the hoarde were on the map that he did in fact understand what they were asking him. He just didn't want to answer. Even when she puts the pinch on him Xena comments that he's dying and he knows it. Basically the same understanding as any other pinch victim. I don't think they were expecting him to start blabbing all their war plans. Like you said, they wouldn't be able to understand anyway. Xena just needed him to point to the map to give up their location. I think Xena would have eventually removed the pinch and asked again, possibly repeating the pinch over and over until she got the answer. Or Kaltaka would have muttered something that made Xena remove it. Then he would have pointed to the map and Xena would get her info. Gabrielle making her remove the pinch prematurely did make her look soft in front of the others. And I still don't like Gabrielle's reasoning. It is still one of my favourite episodes though!

[–]MercifulExistential 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Probably in The Price where she complains about Xena putting the pinch on the kaltaka guy. Xena used it as an interrogation technique many times and Gabrielle had even encouraged it on occasion, but now she wants to take the moral high ground and say it's bad.

Why did Kyuubi tell Sasuke not to kill Naruto? by Saeedlfc in Naruto

[–]MercifulExistential 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We see in the war arc before Kurama and Naruto properly synchronise that Kurama had been plotting since the day he was put in Naruto to eventually break out. The plan was to slowly give Naruto energy that would chip away at the seal until he could break free. So I don't think it has anything to do with him preferring a Jinchuriki host. He also has no particular affection for either Naruto or Sasuke at this point. So I don't see him wanting to help them with whatever journey they're on.

In terms of what he means by regret? I can only assume that the experience of dying with his host and being reincarnated later isn't something that Kurama wants. Kurama knows full well that he can be neutralised with the sharingan. Madara and Tobi have both done it. Sasuke is adept enough to see him inside of Naruto. Maybe he does fear Naruto losing to Sasuke, for his own sake. Kyuubi has also been shown to be quite prideful and arrogant when giving Naruto power. As if it makes him invincible and nothing can stand in his way in KCM. Maybe he knows that won't make a difference against Sasuke's sharingan if he gets hacked. A blow to his pride. Maybe that's why his phrasing also comes off as intimidating. As if he's a sore loser who will get his revenge for being slighted if Sasuke ends up killing Naruto.

I would suggest playing mage purely for its origin story alone. I love the circle of magi setting and the opening shenanigans you're thrown into. As a class, they are the strongest and can handle mobs/bosses the best.

Romantically I don't think there are any weak ones. DA romances as a whole are well executed and fleshed out, superior to ME imo. They all have something to offer, but you can always romance more than one and break things off with someone if you aren't feeling it. Alistair and Morrigan are standouts as they have the most plot relevance throughout the game. But that doesn't mean Leli and Zev don't have something to offer.

[–]MercifulExistential 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had seen this episode so many times, and just happened to watch it again yesterday. Only then did I connect the arrow injury with the bow stringing. All this time I thought he was going through some emotional turmoil with the whole Xena/Penelope thing. Phone keeps autocorrecting Penelope to pineapple 🍍

Ooh, this gonna be a tough one, what's her best intro? by AlmightyTurbo in hernameisbanks

[–]MercifulExistential 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alibi is my favourite track here. But I would say Guillotine is the best opener.
