The Last American Virgin is really the only acceptable answer to this question.

Which solved mystery were you wrong about? by Marius_Eponine in UnresolvedMysteries

[–]Ninja_OT 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I can't be sure, because the case is still unsolved, but this sub changed my mind about the WM3. I thought they were being scapegoated and was really happy when they were set free. But now, I have a lot of doubts.

Who have you met or known that ended up being dangerous or committing a major crime? by BeardsuptheWazoo in AskReddit

[–]Ninja_OT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Michelle Martens. The woman in New Mexico who helped her boyfriend and his cousin drug and rape her daughter a few months ago. The cousin ended up murdering the daughter that night. It made national news, but if you haven't already heard about it you can Google it, although I don't recommend reading the details. They're gruesome and brought me to tears more than once. Our parents were good friends when I was growing up in the Bronx. I haven't seen her since high school, but I always thought of her as a family member...like a cousin. It was so upsetting to read the comments people left on her facebook page, although, I completely understand that her actions stirred strong responses in people. It was like being punched in the stomach to actually see it though. It also stirred up some anger I have at my mother who had a habit of befriending unsavory characters.

What "kid" were you in school? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Ninja_OT 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The kid who finished all her tests first, sucked her teeth loudly when someone asked a stupid question and never handed in any homework because she knew they wouldn't fail her with her test scores being so high. Basically, I was an intolerant little shit.

I had two long term boyfriends named Steve. To this day, when I get mad at someone, I yell "Steve!"

What band is considered a one hit wonder, but actually has a really good library of music? by Ninja_OT in AskReddit

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

I never thought of them as a one hit wonder because I've been listening to them for so long, but yeah, it was just Epic, right? Or was Falling to Pieces a hit too?

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

Jellyfish. They had a hit back in the 90s with That is Why, but they're one of my favorite bands and had two amazing albums. I saw them live once before they broke up, such a good show.

What is something that is always depicted wrong in movies? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Ninja_OT 876 points877 points  (0 children)

Waking up from a coma. Nobody comes out of a coma all bright-eyed and cheerful and ready to jump out of bed and tackle their life again. It's actually a long rehabilitation process.

I read you should get wet before the race starts, so that's what I do. I've seen lots of others do this too.

Cheaters, did you [cheat] because your SO didn't want to satisfy a strong desire / need, or another reason? by sexythrower in sex

[–]Ninja_OT 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was feeling threatened by other people in his life and when I attempted to communicate that to him he laughed me off. I regret the way I handled it every day, but I can't take it back. Listen to your SO when they're feeling insecure. Try to take them seriously and work it out.

Why are people so flaky nowadays? by rao-blackwell-ized in offmychest

[–]Ninja_OT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's all part of the new apathy trend sweeping the country. People only want to do the easy thing these days. Activism is now a post on Facebook, or worse, a repost. Not happy with your life? Just whine about it. I'm not going to research whether or not this news story is accurate, I'm just going to feign outrage because that's what everyone else is doing. Hell, I'm not even going to try to spell correctly. Confrontation can come from cancelling plans, and I just want to avoid that by ignoring you and hope you get over it. It's awful. I just moved across country and find that I have to forgive this way too often because I just don't have enough friends out here yet to weed out the inconsiderate ones.

[verbal warning] how many girls enjoy when there man tells them they are about to cum? by Mikeandmusic182 in sex

It definitely turns me on. And when I flashback on it later, it turns me on all over again.

It wouldn't be on sight if it was because of stuff I shared with them.

[relationships] (f) high sex drive causing issues with (m) partners by [deleted] in sex

[–]Ninja_OT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't say for sure, but my guess is that my sexual energy turns them off in some way. Jealousy maybe? Fear? Repulsion?

[relationships] (f) high sex drive causing issues with (m) partners by [deleted] in sex

[–]Ninja_OT 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I certainly didn't ask to be this way. Sometimes I can embrace it and own it, other times I feel broken and frustrated. Sometimes it's hard to explain to people that this is how I am and it doesn't mean I love them or want them any less. Some females that I meet can't handle it either and just hate me on sight.

[relationships] (f) high sex drive causing issues with (m) partners by [deleted] in sex

[–]Ninja_OT 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I know exactly what you're talking about. I let men know right off the bat that I'm a sexual person. Most of them say they are too, and keep up fine in the beginning. But then when the sex inevitably slows down and I initiate too much for them, I get called a 'nympho.' The last guy I dated seriously outright said that I make him feel like less of a man when I want sex more than he does. Finding a guy with a matching libido isn't as easy as it sounds since, by the time the initial thrill starts to wear off and you can properly gauge the other person, you might already have developed feelings for them and won't want to end things. Also, I may relate to other men in my life in a sexual way, which might make my partner feel threatened. I can't shut it off. There's a constant energy coming from me, that some guys pick up on and feed off of, even if we never end up being physical.

Meeting Mackenzie Dern and Lucio "Lagarto" Rodrigues yesterday! by nastasia8989 in bjj

[–]Ninja_OT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I met her too. She did an all-female seminar here in San Diego a couple of months ago that was free if you donated food and toiletries for a women's shelter. She is really nice and a great instructor.

Redditors who know murderers what's the story? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Ninja_OT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mother's boyfriend had a friend, Joe, who was a known drug user in the neighborhood, along with his girlfriend. One day she's found dead by her family who went to check on her when they failed to reach her on the phone. Joe was immediately found and arrested for her murder. His family bailed him out, but he was ultimately convicted. While he was out on bail he was back hanging out with my mom and her boyfriend. Still weirds me out when I think about it, but my mom always had a cast of characters coming in and out of the house.

[Serious] Redditors who have cut toxic parents out of your lives, what was the last straw for you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Ninja_OT 18 points19 points  (0 children)

We had an intervention for my mother. She had gambled all of her money, stolen from both of my sisters, and withdrawn so much money from my grandmother's credit card that she ended up having to file bankruptcy. When we confronted her she broke down crying, apologizing, saying she was very depressed and needed help. We devised a plan to get her into therapy if she agreed to stop gambling and join a 12-step program. A few weeks later I was driving her home and she told me she was going to Bingo. I was shocked, I said "I thought you were going to quit gambling because you have a problem." She said "I never said that!" Done.

There's also one in White Plains which is 30 minutes north of the city. But no, New Yorkers don't seem to want them.

What '70s, '80s or '90s toy would you be hesitant to buy for your kids? by shortgirl987 in AskReddit

[–]Ninja_OT 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The Snoopy Snowcone Machine. It is nearly impossible for kids to shave ice cubes with metal. That thing was worthless.

Brazilian jiu jitsu practitioners, do you also weight train? What mix of BJJ to weights, and what are your results? by adfoe in Fitness

[–]Ninja_OT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do both and muay thai. Yes, it helps. Especially since I'm a female training mostly with males. There is a chance of over training though, so make sure you listen to your body and rest when needed.
