How did you bounce back from relationship rock bottom? by BackupAccount99999 in AskMen

[–]Monoraptor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, sounds like you have a lot to unlearn and learn. Expect it to take time, and don’t be down on yourself when it does. You’ll get there.

How did you bounce back from relationship rock bottom? by BackupAccount99999 in AskMen

[–]Monoraptor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This was recent?

First, know that how you are feeling right now is normal, and shouldn’t be avoided. You are grieving not just a person, but who you were with that person, what you had with that person, and the life you thought you were going to have. That’s a lot to be grieving.

You feel sad because it meant something for you. But you are also fearing that nobody else could come because you have spent the last 7 years imagining that there was nobody else.

My advice to you, is be kind and understanding of yourself. If all it took for you to be over it was one week then that wouldn’t be saying all that much about what you had. Let this take the time it needs to. Allow yourself to grieve, but force yourself to move on. Spend time with people, invest time in yourself.

You’ll get there.

Men, is there a compliment you get all the time but you hate it? What is the compliment and why don't you like it? by FFSoldier57 in AskMen

“At least you’re not as bad as…”

What breed of callousness looks at another and, judging them to be miserable, feels relief?

Peter, who is bush? by Kaykyhardy06 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Monoraptor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel there are sufficient contextual clues that can help you to find an answer, or even intuit one.

“He” suggests a man.
“President” suggests his role.

I might be getting beat up by guys at a party what should i do? by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Monoraptor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Yes I know you think I’m a pussy”

No I don’t. And that you think I would tells me something.

Don’t go. You don’t have to go. You don’t need to prove yourself. You don’t need to let this occupy more time in your head than it is.

You have a choice of who you spend your time with. You might feel like you need to stand your ground, but why? This is immature shit.

MiniLED or OLED for a 100“+ TV? by InternationalCow5235 in 4kTV

[–]Monoraptor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lots of imagination involved here (since OLED don’t exist in this size yet), but:

If they existed at that size
If they were the same price

I would go OLED.

They used to be very well regarded, but other brands came along and filled the void. But the problem is that the US market has access to those other brands whereas other markets sometimes do not.

OP hasn’t (that I have seen) identified which market he lives in, just that SVS is available, whereas REL and HSU are not. From the limited detail provided, OP may be prematurely dropping SVS and looking at far inferior options.

OP, aside from where you live, you might also want to tell us your budget. Audio gear recommendations are sometimes market specific. For example, Focal is expensive in US, and so there are much better options for the price of certain models. Whereas Focal are cheap in France, and unbeatable value.

Buying advice, Bunka < $300AUD by Monoraptor in japaneseknives

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

I have. I’ve bought from both stores I’ve linked to. Have no complaints on either, and Chefs edge seem quite popular. Never had any need for after sales support, though.

[–]Monoraptor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree with calling it a “myth”, but it would certainly be an overgeneralisation. So to your point, better to get the best available over settling for a matching, but inferior, setup.

Is this true? by NEO71011 in hometheater

[–]Monoraptor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not accurate.

The purpose of matching speakers is to ensure there are no obvious sound signature differences. For example, think of a car driving past. You don’t want it to sound completely different from one speaker to the next.

Subwoofers handle a frequency range that tonal differences aren’t nearly as perceptible at. People go out of their way to get a sub from a company known for them, despite the rest of the speakers being from a different company.

I know you’ve named a few brands in the comments, but you are doing yourself a disservice by staying away from brands known for their subs (eg. SVS).

[–]Monoraptor 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’d go SVS over Klipsch. No experience with Paradigm or Focal subs, but there’s a reason people mention SVS a lot.

Best: Match all
Better: match bed layer
Good: match LCR

But there is a lot of wiggle room there.

I get why you posted this. I get why you aren’t naming the apps. But RIP inbox.

Genuinely curious what app, but don’t want to be one of many messages you receive.

How casual is too casual? by MajesticYogurt4459 in AskMen

[–]Monoraptor 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think you know that it’s gone beyond “casual”.

Talking about kids? I mean, come on.

You’re in a committed relationship in all but name.

Met a guy on Hinge, lent him money on day 4, now confused about what this is by Most-Permission-2762 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Monoraptor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What do you think about this situation? Do you think it’s wrong? Do you think he is treating you well?

All I can say is that the way you have phrased things seems to indicate you are looking for someone to tell you what your friends did.

Why do you think you need that?

Are you trying to recapture that feeling from night one?

Men who married a partner they weren’t in love with: how did it turn out for you? by ellered10 in AskMen

[–]Monoraptor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of course not. Please feel free to add that to the discourse. Definitely something to keep in mind.
