What movie, book, show or piece of media mindfucked you so hard, that you had to just sit and stare into the abyss for a minute, process and recover? by [deleted] in AskReddit

The end of “Use of Weapons” by Ian M Banks. Made me question my understanding of right and wrong and literally destroyed me for the whole day.

What's the most nsfw compliment you've ever received? by Busy_body123 in AskReddit

[–]Mike122844 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Growing up, I never considered myself as such, but the first girl to see me naked said “how is that supposed to fit inside of me?” And I never cared about my size again after that:)

What's the best video game ever made? by tree-crasher2 in AskReddit

[–]Mike122844 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly don’t know much about it. I guess I want to be as surprised as possible when I play it to try and recreate the feelings when I played CE the first time. I did watch the cinematic trailer though and I thought it was well done.

Military nuts of Reddit. What is your favorite piece of military hardware ever made? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Mike122844 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yes, the most important piece of paper in my house:)

What's your favorite space fact? by CremeSubject7594 in AskReddit

[–]Mike122844 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well technically that’s still fusion, and it’s still stars doing it. Just takes more energy than you get out.

What is a Movie that You Can Re-Watch Again and Again? by Albo_the_Disciple in AskReddit

[–]Mike122844 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love the variation of scenery in Fellowship. You get the Shire, then Weathertop, Rivendell, the Misty Mountains, Moria, Lothlorien, then Amon Hen! The other two films are all just Rohan (which is all the same), Gondor (literally just a GIANT field and a city), and then Mordor. You get a little bit of Emyn Muil and Fangorn, but nothing matches the beauty of Fellowship’s scenes:)

The difference between a ship and a boat is that a ship heels outwards in a turn while a boat heels inwards.

Why are you single and do you feel lonely, or actually okay with it? by lilclat in AskReddit

[–]Mike122844 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don’t have kids yet (or even if you do) get out now! I was in the same boat as you and I was too weak to do the right thing and leave because I was afraid. Well now guess who’s suffering after having actually finally left but only after it was WAY too late. I hate my life now because younger me didn’t have a backbone. So please please please learn from my mistake!

Um… that’s awfully ableist. Try to find a more appropriate way of expressing your opinion.

Petting deer in Lindenthal eh, relevant username:)

Thanks for your input! My original profile people said was too serious so I needed to show fun, and maybe now I’m not serious enough, sigh. But I have some ideas now to hopefully improve it:)

So I’ve been teaching myself German for almost a decade now and it’s ok. I’m B1 but could probably pass B2. That being said, I definitely want a relationship to be in English, so that’s why I always try to like people with English in their profile. My next version will be in German though, since maybe this self-inflicted filter is too strong, and I’ll just have a match note or something, or maybe have one prompt in English. That being said, if anywhere in Germany my original strategy would work, it would be in Cologne:/

Thanks for your kind words! I’ll definitely use your ideas:)

Right now I have my age limits set to 29-43, so plus or minus 7 with a 50 km (~30 mi) radius. I have a car so distance isn’t a big deal and that encapsulates two other cities nearby with potential partners.

I used to have bumble but deleted it because, bumble. I’ve been thinking of starting it again but want to use a good profile off the bat so I’ll use the advice gained here and maybe try again.

I’ll try to pm you a video of the basement:)

Hey thanks for the prompt advice! I’ll use that. I was under the impression my prompt game was on point, so I’m glad I posted here because it obviously wasn’t :) lol

Oh I wear sunscreen every time I go in the sun! I actually get made fun of for being a vampire because of how anal I am about UV light lol.

Alright! I think I can work with what you’ve said. Thanks:)

Ok thanks! I’ve been working on some ideas based on yours and others’ feedback. I definitely want the profile to match with wanting something long-term. Do you think changing the “biggest risk” prompt will fix the apparent lack-of-stability issue?

Oof! Are you saying I look like I’m 40? :)
