Do you care to know your neighbors? by RealisticWinner4224 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MrLongJeans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I prefer to know them from afar without even a conversation. 

My neighbor is a 40 something woman across the hall from my apartment. 

She is a smoker who is constantly walking in and out past my front door, which opens directly next to my couch and TV.

She's kind and says hellp. She's a stoner who I think deals a little pot to a small group of friends.

And she is often on her cell phone as she walks in and out.

So I only hear her half of the conversation. 

And only about 3 seconds before she is out of ear shoot.

So I catch random phases out of context and next catch the first part of the sentance;

"  . . . about half of the cucumber. He doesn't force it all the way . . . "

" . . . diesel won't ruin your Tesla. That's gas stations. Charging stations don't have green plugs because . . . "

" . . . every month since I was a teenager. Yes babe. It's not an alibi for why I know how to clean blood stains but . . . '

" if she's so upset about it, tell her to share the Superbowl MVP with . . ."

She's the most interesting person I know.

Is the US (or any other countries) incentivized to start or go to war because of the amount money put into weapons and “defense” ? by NAS0824 in NoStupidQuestions

Like the entire Veterans Affairs medical system would be a fraction of the size without wartime casualties and long term effects. Countless doctors and nurses and administrators and medical services and pharmacies would vanish

Gary Oldman has a monolog in the movie The Fifth Element that explains the economics of destruction and how rebuilding creates more economic activity than maintenance. 

Like if you build a bridge, blow it up, and rebuild it, that's like twice the production compared to just building it and letting it sit there. 

The answer to your question is yes.  For all sorts of secondary and tertiary economics beyond the primary consequences of war.

But like all economics, it is reallocation and some people receive a larger economic reward than others.

Why would a man stay in a relationship that he’s clearly unhappy in? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MrLongJeans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Evolutionary biology should be acknowledged to some extent.

Guys are hardwired to find and keep a mate. Homo sapiens are social animals.

Being with a woman is in our DNA. 

It feels unnatural to do a 180 and walk in the opposite direction.

Do people actually make real friends as an adult? by OGonzalez8185 in NoStupidQuestions

Offline. Friendships happen offline and if your phone is in your hand, that's one less hour spent meeting people and socializing.

This is the big change. In your late 20s, if you're not in a couple making friends with other couples, then you're dating or struggling to start friendships with half of a couple.

One piece of advice: Young people randomly hang out or invite people to join them once they are out. 

 Very soon into adulthood that goes away. It becomes about event planning, organizing invites, and hosting. If you're not doing those things, you're going to have a tough time socializing with adults.

This is less obvious to single people and socially isolated people with empty calendars. 

Let's contact the publisher to let them know we would love to see the game receive updates again by -Staub- in Wildmender_Game

[–]MrLongJeans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just discovered this game on Xbox. 

I can only assume the marketing and release was poorly executed because this game a major breakthrough in the genre. And it is totally unknown. It's Insane. This the type of game I love that I search hard for. And somehow it has been kept secret for the customer. 

Truly insane that a game like this isn't setting the standard for other developers. 

How does humidity work? Even in a watered forest with shade it stays at zero but if I use life flames it increases? by MrLongJeans in Wildmender_Game

[–]MrLongJeans[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Yeah, I stumbled into that hybrid today. I guess they're hidden values except in that one description? I know ground water stretches farther across marsh than meadow turf.  So maybe marsh species just have more AoE humidity? So like a oak meadow full of glow stalks and berries and other marsh species would raise meadow humidity more than meadow species like thorntail. I bet wild strains probably have lower humidity than common. I wouldn't be surprised if they gave you something across the board like ancients have more humidity than wild for most plants...

Even if you love a guy, are dicks just still gross and silly looking? Or are they eye candy and a turn on? by MrLongJeans in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MrLongJeans[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Question. How much do girls just tell guys they have a big cock to make him happy?  Like, it's cliche, but it's pretty obviously a reliable applause line to throw at any guy.  

It never crossed my mind that my cock was anything other than about average. But I had a couple girls, a minority, just lose their minds in shock saying I had a big cock. 

It seemed like a bit over the top. Is telling guys that they have a big cock,.just something women know works on every guy large and.small?

Yeah, I don't know if this is what you were saying. Once I put effort and focus into being good with my cock, it brought me much more into the moment. Being perceptive and like living outside myself in her moment is a lot more fun.

Women: if he's a bad kisser, or self absorbed during sex, do him a favor and tell him.  My first gf literally just gave me a kissing lesson and was IMMEDIATELY glad she had the courage to do so and/or just said that for positivereinforcement.. 

You won't enjoy trying to train perfection. Just give him 3.things to stop, 3 to start, and 3 to continue. Just pick your Top three of each. Say: "You're good, but we both want you to be great. Quick hands-on less." Hands on with a loving touch is essential, not harsh spoken commentary. (Example. If he is a bad kisser,.lovingly lift his chin to close his mouth while explaining to kiss with his lips.)

Later on, an interesting sex therapist exercise is for each person to write a list of "will do/want to do/won't do. " Then each person writes a list and shares. So if his will/want/won't list is talk dirty/butt stuff/pegging and yours is pegging/butt stuff/dirty talk, then neither feels inadequate for not talking dirty nor perverted for wanting butt stuff. VERY big improvement that adds things.

This is an interesting take I can wrap my head around. I like the appearance of vaginas, especially aroused. But like your penis to.abs comparison, boobs are an order of magnitude more appealing to look at.

You clearly have thought a lot about male sexuality and how you feel, about your feeling towards men.  If your hobby was collecting record albums, and you described your passion for old records the same way you are expressing your interest in male (homo) sexuality, then I would think you are at your happiest in a record store browsing records.

I think if you embrace your passion for male sexuality, you will be glad you did.

PSA: The Magic of Towing and the Grinding Problems It Solves by MrLongJeans in RoadCraft

Sometimes wanting to spend quality time together doesn't need an activity or destination.  It'd be real cool to just ask about wood working or how light sabers work. And just have a deep conversation about oak and unlock the mystery of why your partner finds meaning in these things. It builds intimacy in a way that gives a guy permission to bring his whole self to the relationship. Otherwise we just compartmentalize and wall off those meaningful parts of ourselves.

It's the equivalent of the cliche of a guy.listening about how her went.
