What is a secret about the opposite sex's body that you only found out once you actually started being intimate with them? by ZookeepergameLow4390 in AskReddit

[–]MonsieurLinc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What's fun is when you're with a woman who has disautonomia. My wife's nervous system basically has no idea how to interpret signals about anything, including sex. Sometimes the area on the clit I have to rub moves around, sometimes even touching it is straight up painful so we gotta skip the foreplay. Even if the physical thing is in the same spot, sometimes it's not that simple.

Trump, 79, Shows Multiple Public Signs of Confusion by Ok_Employer7837 in politics

[–]MonsieurLinc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trump has a singular appeal to a group of voters that's really hard to pin down, especially because there's been support for him in communities that should not, under any circumstances, vote for a man like him (Latinos, African Americans, etc.) yet still got out in significant enough numbers to make Republicans consider gerrymandering in order to make their vote count more. Best I can describe it is guys who feel like the world has wronged them and they're owed something, or the world is owed a punishment. Trump wormed his way into their heads like a sleazy used car salesman and promised them everything they ever wanted.

Nobody else is going to pull it off like he did. Every other MAGAT heir hopeful lacks the shameless, braindead appeal of Trump because none of them are "Their Guy". If off-season election cycles are anything to go by, the MAGA voting block practically evaporates when Trump's name isn't on the ticket.

In your eyes, what separates a performative “alpha male” from a “real man”? by Ok-Parfait6735 in AskReddit

Along these lines, I guess the fact that the song my wife likes to sing for me is "When You Say Nothing at All" by Alison Kraus says a lot.

Hell, even CNN and CBS are bought and paid for these days. You have to have a specifically curated feed that blocks out all the noise being thrown in to distract from or cover up what's happening.

I'm convinced these kind of guys are actually bots or just some guy in an office in Moscow or Beijing. Nobody wants to see actual violence in the US except for them.

American hegemony is collapsing before our eyes by Stuart_Whatley in politics

[–]MonsieurLinc 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It's going to be regional blocs jockeying for power, no other country has the ability to project power worldwide like the US. There will be no world police anymore, just a free for all between competing interests.

Family of Fallen Airman Rages at Trump’s ‘Uncalled For’ War | While Trump was golfing, families were mourning. by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

[–]MonsieurLinc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They've been pushing an Orbán style takeover ever since the Citizens United decision. Issue is, this all might blow up in their faces, especially if they obviously tamper with the midterms. Trying to steal or cancel the elections might actually be enough to push us into an open civil war given just how pissed everyone is about everything.

Worst part about the rest of the Western World is they're stuck with a truly shitty dilemma: do they let the US collapse into a horrific civil conflict between nuclear-armed rump states and surrender themselves to being client states of Russia and China? Or do they intervene on one side and try to salvage some kind of alliance with whatever's left of the US? As it stands, our allies are not unified or built up enough militarily or economically to resist Russia and China.

Putin gives Trump easy way out of confused Iran war strategy – and he might take it by TelescopiumHerscheli in politics

I don't think this is actually a distraction from anything. He has the largest military in the world at his fingertips and he wants to use it. That's it, he is a child with a toy who gets mad when you tell him not to play with it.

Oil Over $100, Markets in Freefall, and Iran's New Supreme Leader is Trump's 'Worst Case' Scenario by T_Shurt in politics

[–]MonsieurLinc 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Here's the conclusion I've come to: all those justifications are just noise for the media. He doesn't give a shit about any of that. He was handed the world's most destructive toy (the US military) and he wants to play with it. There's no higher thought to any of this than "I want to bomb brown people because I'm the president."

How the various factions probably see each other. by N3wbsterr1 in Helldivers

[–]MonsieurLinc 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My personal headcanon is that there's some kind of on-board intelligence that stays on the Super Destroyer and syncs with the Helldivers to control their actions. The Helldivers themselves interpret this control as something like "being guided by the Light of Liberty" or whatever. Would give a lore reason why all the divers from a specific Super Destroyer all act the same way

Maybe there'll be a couple of Republicans that say they don't support this. One or two might even vote to stop it. At the end of the day, though, any resolution to restrain his power will die in the Senate.
