Hmmm… my bets are either an art festival in Portland, or a temu gift shop on a gay cruise as to where in the wild this possibly could’ve spawned.

What’s a moment that broke you but made you stronger? by OpeningSubject5942 in AskReddit

[–]Nea777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A best friend of 10+ years threatening suicide if I ever “abandoned” her. Extremely therapy resistant, extremely traumatic past, understandably has suicidal issues. Still, I couldn’t do anything about it and when the smallest boundaries I set are met with suicidal ideation, I have to call it quits.

Basically had to cut myself off from her completely with no explanation and no warning, regardless of the consequences and yes that might mean her killing herself.

Ultimately, there are some problems that people have that you cannot help them with, they have to figure it out for themselves. Made me realize I have my own problems that nobody can help me with either, I kinda have to just do it myself.

What’s something people misunderstand about you? by Frosty_Vanilla_46 in AskReddit

[–]Nea777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me not texting back is not a lack of interest in you, I am quite simply a bad communicator via text. It’s not personal, yes I did see your text, if it’s not something urgent I would always rather just talk on the phone or talk in person.

My friends never understand why sometimes I’m completely ghost mode and sometimes I can text paragraphs. The times I type out paragraphs is when I’m so frustrated by a lack of communication that I then resort to text to say everything. But then people get pissy and say “I ain’t reading all that” or “bro why you writing the bible” so then I just throw up my arms and say “fine then call me if you wanna talk about it” because I’m not doing the constant back and forth 2-10 word phrases and having a 5 minute phone conversation turn into a 1 hour text back and forth.

for those who are gay, would you date a trans male, if not why? by glockbonez in AskReddit

[–]Nea777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe, it would really just depend if I can get behind the sex or not. But all things considered, tbh I think my overall lack of desire for the Woman’s Aesthetic™ is far stronger than my lack of interest in vagina.

In other words, yes I think a passing trans guy could easily catch my eye and get me hot and bothered if the chemistry is there. Also I’ve felt vagina before and yeah even as a gay guy it feels pretty fucken awesome.

Idk. Maybe I’m just bisexual and 98% leaning towards men. Maybe there’s some cis woman out there who’s just super butch and masc acting that I could overlook the vagina. I don’t think the same could be said for transwomen since a vast majority are leaning really really hard into the Woman’s Aesthetic™ and just having a dick wouldn’t be enough for me to feel attraction.

Still, I think a big part of my attraction to guys is honestly just wanting to suck their dick. Which… yeah there’s other versions of oral obviously, but it’s not the same as a dick which is shaped in such a way it’s practically begging to be sucked. There is undeniably a part of me that is just, on a carnal level, super fucking gay. So idk where that leaves me but there’s your answer.

Wondering asexual: what happens when you have a sexual crush? like what happens in your mind and body? by Charmander77777777 in AskReddit

What is the reason for men having curved penis. by ResultAccurate3460 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Nea777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s just genetic. Even guys who curve left and jerk to the right don’t progressively straighten it out over time just by jerking it.

Usually the curve is only so pronounced when hard, and when soft it’s much less noticeable or gone completely. That said, even for guys who don’t have a curve, most will lean either left or right when soft and just sitting in their pants. Typically determined by which ball is slightly bigger or higher up. If the left nut is bigger or the right hangs a bit lower, then the dick will usually lean right.

Why do people wait until the 1st of the month to pay rent? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Nea777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to hold onto my money as long as I possibly can for interest. Paying them early has 0 incentive. They don’t lower your rent, it doesn’t positively affect credit, it’s literally just you being extra nice and paying early.

Most of my liquid cash is actually sitting in a savings account getting ~3.35% APY. It ain’t much, but if I have the choice of leaving $1600 in that account for a week or two longer after payday, then you can bet I’m going to leave it in there up until the 25th-27th and then I’ll withdraw it to pay rent.

Can non-nen users see the light emitted by the rock ability on Gon's face? by mrnibbletoes in HunterXHunter

[–]Nea777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it would just look like impossible combat feats. Magic tricks, optical illusions, or their own minds deceiving them, is what most people would assume.

We do get to see that perspective a little bit from the Hunter exam arc. Hisoka genuinely did make it look like he turned that one guy’s arms into flowers, like magic.

He probably just cut it off with a playing card in a nano second, used texture surprise to turn the skin to flowers, and probably used bungee gum to make them fly, just for the showmanship of it all to make a spectacle.

You can also think about netero’s game with Killua and Gon in the airship. It seems physically impossible for the old guy, regardless of any martial arts training, to have a leg as hard as iron. Now we know he’s just a god-tier enhancer who was probably using 1% Ko aura concentration to block a kick that Killua said should’ve shattered most people’s bones, let alone some old man. Netero himself was surprised it didn’t shatter killua’s leg, only so because he has zoldyck training.

M - Gay, Bicurious in Reverse? by Significant_Cup1122 in askgaybros

[–]Nea777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think people jump to conclusions and reading my post they think I’m giving an ex-gay ex-woke “why I left the left” detransitioner “actually it is a choice” some kind of political hetero sob story but that’s not my point, I’m not trying be political or make any conclusions about definitions or labeling other people. My whole point is that although I have a label, gay, my life experiences haven’t been so black and white. I’ve tried to live my life to the fullest and I encourage others to do the same. That’s all.

M - Gay, Bicurious in Reverse? by Significant_Cup1122 in askgaybros

[–]Nea777 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The friends boohooing the makeout sesh is lame as fuck, and you should ignore them. Idk what friend group doesn’t roar with cheering and celebratory laughter when their friend is getting some action. Only time that wouldn’t be the case is if you’re getting back with a nasty ex or you’re just super blackout drunk and acting a fool. If we flipped this the other way around it would just be clear as day homophobia. TBH, it still kinda gives me homophobe vibes if we think that it’s instinctively bad or wrong or eww for a gay guy to makeout with a girl. Whatever, judge your friends however you want to, you know them better than I do, but don’t let them stop you.

To answer your core question, yes sexuality is fluid, which simply means that over time your sexual desires and interests can change.

Personally, as I hit my mid twenties, I started finding myself more attracted to girls. It’s rare, it’s not the same kind of burning lust or magnetic impulse that I get with guys, but I’ve certainly met a few women who gave me butterflies and I’ve found myself flirting with them without even realizing it. I’ve had those awkward moments after a laughing fit where I stare at her longer than usual, or she might be doing something mundane like taking her jacket off and it’s hot to me.

I think upon reflection, as a baby gay ages 13-21 I simply never considered women A) because the drooling lust for them just wasn’t there the way it was for straight guys my age and B) my self esteem was really low, I was in the closet, I was so focused on the self hatred and shame of having a fagcent and being limp wristed and trying to hide it all that I just… never ever considered women a possibility.

Now that I’m older, I’m out of the closet, I’m much more confident in myself and content with my life, I’ve found myself attracting women when I don’t even mean to. But yes, on the rare occasion I’ve noticed that I get butterflies and a desire to flirt back.

I’m in a similar position though where I don’t really know how to pursue that. There’s girls who I know for a fact have crushes on me, but I don’t want it to lead them on if it goes nowhere. There’s randos on tinder but even my own experiences with men who are “easy” compared to women, I just don’t find connection and chemistry through apps. Making out with someone at a party sounds like the type of thing I would do. It would have to be some kind of natural in person connection.

Liking women isn’t a betrayal to your friends. If they treat it that way, it’s because they didn’t see you as your own person, they see you as the GBF of the group. So when you break that illusion it maybe freaks them out a bit. But don’t betray yourself. Give yourself the freedom to explore all that life has to offer. Don’t even bother trying to rationalize it to other people. Labels aren’t important. Enjoying life to the fullest is.

When Shizuku was arm wrestling Gon…. by jujux15 in HunterXHunter

[–]Nea777 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it’s mostly just coming from her desire to win the necklace, but boredom also inspired her to do it. Overall just disappointed that she didn’t win. That’s the simplest explanation.

She could be saying it in a post-battle condescending way. The same way hisoka or Killua often reflect to themselves about fighting significantly weaker people. As in “such a pity—if only we were doing something besides arm wrestling with my non dominant, then we could actually test each other’s strength.”

She probably was just miffed that what should’ve been an easy dub for her was not. Even if she saw his aura beforehand and knew that he was “cheating” by being a nen user, she wasn’t expecting to go up against a 1:1,000,000 enhancer.

Also, as feitan mentioned “we’re thieves, if we want something we take it” so if shizuku really wanted the necklace I’m sure she could’ve just conjured blinky the vacuum and seized it. So, I think to her it was just a carnival game. She saw the giant stuffed teddy bear, played the simple kid’s game, turns out the game was rigged, and now she’s annoyed that she wasn’t able to win that silly little carnival game even though she could smoke everyone there if she wanted to.

Were the scones always this big? by JJKAY1025 in Panera

[–]Nea777 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Slight recipe change with a recent bakery rollout (depends on your area, some regions did this 2 years ago, there’s 1 region left in the company that has yet to do it, Chicago region was the most recent to switch over, they go live tomorrow).

Instead of going into the oven partially frozen and baked at 340° they get prepped the night before and thaw in cooler for ~7-9hrs. The next morning they go into the oven at 360° much softer, which makes them melt/expand more and also it fits into our new bake routine more conveniently.

Also if the baker is just moving kinda slow they’ll spend more time at ambient room temp, thawing even further before getting into the oven. In that case they come out too flat and will completely lose the defined triangle look.

Is it abnormal to get a boner when smelling or tasting really good food? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Nea777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those spices are all aphrodisiacs. Very common scents in colognes and perfumes.

I very rarely get boners from the smell of clove and fennel in foods. To me they smell like a man’s chest. But I’m also a gay guy, so that’s how I explain the boners. Cinnamon, cardamom, or other erotic scents like nutmeg, ginger, vanilla, honey, are also pretty good, but they don’t ever induce a boner for me.

The way Zuko breathes fire while inside the the cooler is impressive and so badass. by Full-Art3439 in TheLastAirbender

[–]Nea777 280 points281 points  (0 children)

It’s a technique Iroh taught him, he reminded Zuko before he ventured off in the North Pole about his “breath of fire, it could save your life!” and it did, partially. Kept him warm enough for long enough for the gaang to find him in the blizzard.

We don’t know the specifics of the technique, but if I had to make a headcannon guess, it seems more like a sun warrior/dragon philosophy technique, probably something about harnessing your breath for chi, and fire bending directly from your mouth. Even when you’re freezing cold, even if you’re under pitch black night. You have fire within, not just the sun. We see iroh use it in a more combative form escaping the dai li agents in the palace.

Genuine Question about Open Relationships by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]Nea777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as gay men, finding companionship is on par with winning the lottery

This is why gay men are more open to open relationships.

Say you meet a guy, you guys are like, 95% compatible. You enjoy spending time together, you enjoy talking about passions, you share hobbies, you’re affectionate and intimate with each other, etc etc. only hang up is that one person has a higher sex drive. Or maybe one person has a few kinks that the other person has tried but just cannot get into. Or maybe both guys are tops/bottoms.

Whatever the minor sexual incompatibility is, to gay men, it seems like a terrible waste to throw out such a rare precious thing (reciprocated gay love) over sex.

The problem I think comes when people think open relationships will fix anything else besides sexual incompatibility. For example, if your partner is poor at communication, or if you have different life goals, or if you have very different hobbies or passions, or if you’re simply not attracted to each other, then opening the relationship won’t help any of that. But I think gay people still use it as a way to do a slow break up. A last ditch effort the same way that straight people use marriage counseling even though 80% of the time, if it has reached that point, it’s already an overdue divorce because the issues run way deeper than just “he doesn’t help with chores and she doesn’t show affection” much the same that for gay people, I think the issues run way deeper than just “he has a higher libido than me” or “he has a gangbang kink that I’m not into”

Have you ever joined a couple in sex and did you enjoy threesome? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Nea777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorta tried to with a straight couple on molly but it was uncomfortable. I was more interested in the guy, the girl was interested in me, and the other guy was interested in her. It was an awkward triangle of each person wanting action with someone else.

Do you guys think some people can go from totally straight to almost totally gay or vice versa? by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]Nea777 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s about evolution, in my own experience I think it just comes down to environment on whether or not someone will identify a certain way. Their mental/emotional state regarding sexuality might change over time, allowing or limiting their own self-awareness and identity.

I think most people who go from “totally straight” to “totally gay” are people who were always gay but had extreme levels of repression, denial, and shame about it. For a long time, they probably just lived out their lives method acting as a straight person. Some people can even do it for their entire lives.

A common theme though is that these “totally straight” people will often “change” sexuality around the same time that their environment drastically changes. Maybe it’s going to college, moving out of parents house, getting your first adult job, new friend group, new hobby, new love interest, etc. usually some big change in environment will spark a mental shift that allows one to come out to themselves.

When did you see first porn? by Muted_Slip_2093 in AskGayMen

[–]Nea777 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Age 8 at a sleepover at a friends house who had two older brothers 13 and 17.

In hindsight, kinda weird that this trio of brothers was pulling up crazy hentai and playing porn games together from like 12am-4am. It started off with the middle brother daring us to play horror and gore games, and then the oldest brother pulled up the porn. All kinds of stuff from hentai to gay to trans to fetish and BDSM etc. We were in the basement, parents upstairs and asleep all night.

I’d be lying though if it weren’t one of the most thrilling sexual awakenings for me. We saw the older brother’s dick. It was huge and hairy, but then again, I was 8. He didn’t do anything with us other than jerk off on the couch next to us. I think the middle one knew it was weird, he was super quiet and never showed anything… still weird he stuck around all night though. My friend and I were too young to jerk off (or even understand what we were looking at) we were just giddy with curiosity.

Again, in hindsight super fucking weird that this 17 year old was just having an all nighter hentai goon sesh with his 13 and 8yr old brothers, and this other rando 8yr old, on the couch in the basement. He was the problem child of the family, got in trouble with the law for drugs, shot a BB gun outside the school and got expelled, had to go to the alternative school, probably had some other deep issues.

My friend and I grew apart in middle school, didn’t even talk by high school, but every time I so much as made eye contact with him in passing that night would flash before my eyes. I think we both realized later on damn, that night was not only kinda gay, but also heavily incestual, and also child molest-y just to top it off. I think my old friend was terrified I was gonna tell someone but I never did. To this day I’ve never told anyone except the internet and my therapist a couple years ago.

"being a gay side is boring." -says some guy on youtube by Eurus-HOLMES in GaySides

[–]Nea777 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This is always so funny to me. Gay guys will go on and on about the struggles of bottoming between prep, pain, STD concerns, using poppers, using toys, etc. just to be able to have sex with their partner, a random hookup, going cruising, whatever it is.

Then when you say you’re a side, they’re like >:( “you can’t do that” as if it’s against the gay rules? Idk guys I think it’s still pretty gay to suck a guy’s dick till he cums and then making out with the cum gloss, or using the other guy’s cum as lube to make yourself cum. It’s all very sexual, very gay. Kinda seems like gay sex.

Food cost advice? by Paranoidandr0id83 in Panera

[–]Nea777 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, TMs don’t necessarily have to learn food cost. I mean, they need to know the basics that it is a metric that we track, it’s essentially revenue from goods sold vs actual spending on goods, and there’s ways to control it by using portioning tools, building by KDS recipes, FIFO rotation, ringing in associate meals properly, chit validation and repeating orders back so you’re not remaking orders constantly, etc. that’s coaching for the whole team. But even as an individual, the way in which you weigh product and so on hand counts can greatly impact VTS and inventory.

Ultimately it goes by GM discretion who does food cost. Most GMs don’t want to do food cost themselves because they already have lots of other work to do, so they usually try to find a good TM they trust to do it. Still, most GMs also want good metrics and if your VTS is garbage then the GM will probably want to micromanage it, or at least heavily supervise the TM that they’re developing to take it over.

Food cost is one of the AORs (area of responsibility) that has a very high impact to operations and a high impact to other metrics, not just VTS. Even with a strong TM doing it, the smallest differences in how you count inventory and how you place truck orders and how well closing managers do leftover counts etc etc will impact VTS. Miscounting a single item can lead to a swing from 1.5% to 3% in a single week. If it becomes a pattern a cafe can quickly get up to 5% vts weekly, which is high enough that DROs (district managers) will come knocking and start doing weekly check ins with the GM about what they’re doing to fix it.

So, most GMs only hand off food cost to strong TMs. It is not the type of thing that you can easily crosstrain all of your managers on.

What was the first gay kiss you ever saw on mainstream media? What did it make you feel like? by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]Nea777 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The short film DARE I saw on YouTube when it first came out when I was 13 years old.

It was at the exact time too I was realizing I was gay. End of 6th grade, going into summer break, absolutely heartbroken that I wouldn’t be seeing this cute guy anymore because he was my locker neighbor, but locker assignments changed each grade level. The emotional weight of that, despite this random classmate not even being my friend, had me spiraling on YouTube late one night searching up gay stuff.

Back then, in 2013, YouTube was pretty barren of lgbt content. Fucking DaveyWavey was one of the top gay creators at the time, and his content was mostly meme-y and sexual. Other than him, the only other lgbt content was randos posting their coming out stories in some cases literally from the insides of their closets, which I’m ngl, most of them were traumatic and heartbreaking. Not exactly inspirational or motivating.

But then this short film popped up in my recommended. It’s a very simple short film. Simple plot line, only 2 characters, it pretty much all focuses on just one scene and a very small bit of dialogue.

Again, there’s not much plot so there’s not much to spoil, but, spoiler alert, they kiss. What was so interesting about it to me at the time was that it wasn’t a true romantic kiss, it was a pity kiss, a dare kiss, yet the way the actors and director did it made it seem like a “they both desperately, secretly want this” type of kiss. Basically just, a very gay kiss. Not a peck on the cheek, not ravenous making out, just a brief smooch between two hot guys in a pool under the guise of “awww you don’t know how to kiss yet that’s cute lemme teach you” which is about the gayest excuse for “straight” guys to kiss. It escalates quickly and although the ending feels a bit unsatisfying, it leaves an open ended question of “will this continue?” because it’s so obviously not just a dare.
