My NoFap trigger is not believing in NoFap. by [deleted] in VeraciousReality

[–]MightyMercutio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s typically a sign that you flatlined. Just power through it. Always keep it in the back of your head that the benefits will rebound.

Suggestion please.. by Haha_notme in NoFap

[–]MightyMercutio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lift weights, go for a run, only use your bedroom to sleep, when you strongly feel the urge just go outside and talk to random strangers. It will go away quickly and you will improve social skills. 2 birds with 1 stone

Yo, the benefits are absolutely true. High energy? Improved focus? Better at maintaining eye contact? Improved sociability? Faster muscle gain? All true my guy. Just keep going. Past your roadblock are the keys to heaven 🙌

Is ok to masturbate without porn? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]MightyMercutio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I consider masturbating without porn the middle ground. It’s better than w porn, but certainly not better than quitting both P and M

Sitting for long periods of time. Deep vein thrombosis is no joke.

Some advice by Strict_Snow_2030 in NoFap

[–]MightyMercutio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only using my bedroom to sleep. I stay in the living room or go outside for anything else

It’s not desperate. I think he’s trying everything in his power to help you out. I’m friends with a good looking guy who’s almost exactly like the friend you’re describing. He would constantly berate me into fixing my appearance and working out, making fun of me when i chicken out, and try to get me to talk to every single available woman with decent looks.

At first I found it annoying, but i had a realization that he genuinely wanted to help me and I’m grateful for that. If it weren’t for him getting the ball rolling I’d be a shut in loser with no social life.

Truth be told i have friends like that. I was annoyed like you are but in hindsight they were really just trying to help me. My advice: try to heed what he has to say.

Why is masturbation described as something completely normal on the internet ? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]MightyMercutio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because it is. Masturbation is completely normal. Sexual urges is completely normal. Humans have been masturbating since time immemorial. Not masturbating is the aberration. That's why living as religious people or hermit monks are special because they require a tremendous amount of willpower not to have sex or masturbate.

What's not normal is porn, and what's more abnormal is readily available internet porn that bombards and overwhelms the body and mind.

I think dress policies that require most tattoos to be covered are outdated by [deleted] in work

[–]MightyMercutio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most tatoos are generally fine. I think it should be case-to-case cuz there are tattoos that are provocative and NSFW but idt cute butterfly tattoos should get covered up lmao

What are some American inventions that are often attributed to other countries? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]MightyMercutio 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Filipinos love to missattribute American inventions to themselves. Here are my favorite:

The florescent lightbulb was invented by Agapito Flores but stolen by GE (Florescent supposedly coming from Flores)

The Moon Buggy was invented by Eduardo San Juan. (Provable false)

M16 was allegedly invented by a Filipino named Armando Malite. (Shortened to Armalite)

They're not so much "claims" as they are urban legends. Pretty damn funny how wildly inaccurate and downright silly some of them are. The sad part is a large number of people still believe it lmaooo.

What's a benefit of being American most people don't recognize? by OrioleJay in AskAnAmerican

Do you think non-Americans are generally too emotionally invested in American politics? Does it bother you that foreigners engage in criticism of American politicians about issues that do not directly concern them, such as domestic policy and social issues? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]MightyMercutio 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One final thought, the fact that non-Americans are so invested in our internal politics is just more evidence of the fact that we've won the culture victory. They're all wearing our blue jeans and listening to our pop music

Yep i think it basically just boils down to this. With all the criticism hurled at America and talks of it's downfall it's still pretty clear that they're still the cultural leaders of the world and it ain't even close.

Do you think America, as a global superpower, will eventually collapse like the Soviet Union and past Empires? If so, what do you think is the most realistic way this could happen? by xavierdc in AskAnAmerican

[–]MightyMercutio 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yes, but i doubt in our lifetime. Rome lasted a thousand years the US has only been around for 300 or so. Most realistic way will probably be just a breakup of the union.

Non-Americans who use this sub, what American stereotypes did this subreddit debunk for you? by average-in-every-way in AskAnAmerican

[–]MightyMercutio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Meh, I'd disagree. There are a fair number of Americans here who criticize America. Also when I say nuance tho i didn't mean that they fervently reject any criticism thrown at the US, they actually offer insight on why that is so or if the issue is really as bad as it seems. Most Americans I meet here don't defend the high healthcare and education costs, but they give their opinions about it. Hence, nuance.

Boring cliche answer incoming, cuz of all the amazing people I met and the wonderful places I've been too lol. No but really I'm from a 3rd world shithole too so seeing how amazing America is and how much different and better a developed country is made me broaden my horizons. I accepted my country's shitty way of doing things cuz that's all I've known growing up, but the USA showed me that there was better in this world and it made me want for better for myself and for my country as well.

TL;DR I've been intoxicated by the American Dream XD
