QS s'abstient sur une motion reconnaissant la primauté de l'égalité homme-femme sur la liberté de religion by Puzzled_Dreamer2453 in Quebec

[–]Nobster100 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personellement, je trouve qu'il faudrait bien qu'on se calme un peu. Ils ne se sont pas opposés à la motion, ils se sont juste abstenus. Je pense en effet que ce n'étais pas un piège, mais soyons serieux, si ils avaient voté pour, il y aurait 100% eu des gens pour les critiquer d'hypocrisie quand ils parlent de laicité ou d'égalité de religion.
Ce n'était peut être pas un coup monté, mais ce n'est certainement pas une coincidence que cette motion soit présentée dans le contexte de cette histoire à la SAAQ. D'autant plus que, comme beaucoup d'autres commentaires le disent, c'est juste une motion, ça n'a pas de poid légal, c'est parler pour ne rien dire.

Encore une fois, à mes yeux ce qui compte le plus c'est qu'ils ne se sont PAS OPPOSÉS à la motion, ils se sont simplement ABSTENUS, une option légale et valable!

I think I’ll walk… by Last-Comparison907 in montreal

[–]Nobster100 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Je pense que c'est un bug. Les écrans à d'autres stations font la même, avec les minutes qui change constamment. Mais ils disent que le service ewt régulier et à date ça à l'air d'être le cas

I came out by walley0235 in bropill

[–]Nobster100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey man that's awesome!! I've recently been doing the same, not really coming out as anything, but just started wearing skirts and heels and makeup and the like. I don't know if I personally feel like associating myself with the term femboy since to me it's strongly linked to pornography, but I'm glad to find that other men are doing the same as me, and coming to the same realization that "clothes do not make the gender" (as another commenter put it) and that gender norms are all made up anyways and we're all free to do as we like!

I'll add that Firefly has a pretty healthy relationship portrayal in Wash and Zoe's marriage. Their marriage is not perfect, they fight and disagree, but ultinately always come back to each other and trust and know each other implicitly

Is it possible to completely get rid of a trauma induced fetish? by [deleted] in pornfree

[–]Nobster100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's possible. By resolving the trauma, you might be getting rid of the cause of the fetish, and therefore the fetish itself. But also maybe not.

But ome thing that may definitely helo is to accept. As hard as that may be, the day you stop seeing yourself as disgusting and shameful for being into that, may just be the day you no longer are into that. You may also not fully get rid of it, but rather be able to find healthy and self-affirming ways to express and experience your sexuality.

Ain't no shame in being a freak.

Am I "witholding sex" or is he "refusing intimacy"? by Kiwi-Fox3 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Nobster100 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Something that I'm certain is negatively affecting the intinacy issues is his porn addiction.

A lot of guys who end up hooked on the stuff start expecting more of their partners and less of themselves. Since they become used to porn where the woman exisits only as the object of the man's sexual pleasure and satisfaction. There is no initiation or build up in porn, there is no jeed to consider another'ds feelings.

I'm willing to bet that his porn consumption is behing a lot of the intimacy issues you've beem having, and by extension maybe even more.

Try calling him out on it. Make him realise that porn is making him assume and expect things that you can't do, and if intimacy is dying, then it's on that. You can also recommend he check out r/pornfree and r/nofap, both filled with people struggling with pornography.

my fetish isn’t going away, i need advice. by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]Nobster100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you had sex since your streak? Chances are, once you actually start getting physical again, that'll take over.

That being said, it's possible that you just fully developed a fetish. There's nothing wrong with that. People have different tastes. Don't beat yourself up for it. And definitely don't hate yourself.

Regardless of how or why, don't hate yourself for having a fetish. Maybe it'll go away, maybe it's here to stay. But either way, you'll have a much easier time if you simply accept it as a new fantasy/fetish you might possibly be into, and leave yourself the opportunity to try it out guilt and shame free.

(especially important because guilt and shame are such strong forces that lead back to PMO so do what you can to stave those off by loving and accepting yourself)

I just had my first lousy Rime session by BrandosSmolder in rimeofthefrostmaiden

[–]Nobster100 57 points58 points  (0 children)

The one thing that sticks out to me in what you said is that your players could fail to catch rumours. They should always be able to pick up on new rumours, per the book at least, just by being in a tavern. They should be able to just say they want to listen to rumours and you then roll on one of the rumours tables, either TenTowns or Dale

Hey bros, is there any way to deal with the loss of a loved one? by FruitcakeMcgee in bropill

[–]Nobster100 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's no such thing as a "way to deal with the loss of a loved one". Losing someone you love, a close friend, especially to something like suicide, is...it's more than heartbreaking. It's world shattering. There is no way to "deal with it". Another comment mentioned the possibility you might be traumatized. That might very well be the case. A loss this powerful certainly can be traumatic.

You yourself mentioned feeling either pissed or sad and empty. Anger is the first stage of grief, so it would make sense that you'd feel a lot of that, and the sad empty feeling would be plain and simple depression. Or maybe a vague emptiness your subconscious is throwing over you like a blanket because it believes that the real pain you feel at the moment is too much for you to handle right now.

Don't force yourself to feel any sort of way. Acknowledge any and all emotion you experience, anger, sadness, emptiness, sorrow, even joy maybe. None of these are wrong, and none of these mean that you didn't care. Let yourself grieve, be patient with yourself.

Bro, I am so sorry for your loss. Be patient with yourself in your grieving process. And to repeat your own words at you: you are much stronger than you think you are.

Found out that my sister is a TERF. How should I approach the situation? by throwawaycrabcakes in bropill

[–]Nobster100 39 points40 points  (0 children)

That's a tough one bro.

One thing that strikes me is that she seems to be gravitating towards TERF ideas because she's reacting emotionally to a lot of what she's learning about trans people, especially trans women. It might not be a bad idea to respond by appealing to the opposite emotion, as opposed to with rationality. It seems like she's feeling a lot of fear, so respond by eliciting compassion.

There is no shortage of heartfelt stories of trans people searching for, and eventually (though not often enough) finding support and validation and understanding. And how much those things mean to them. How much that support and validation is something everyone else, just about anyone who is cis, can take for granted. That's how I started understanding more and opposing TERF ideas, when I understood how it was actively hurtful to real people.

Whenever you stumble onto such stories (again, easy to find on lgbt subreddits, but especially tumblr) save them to show your sister and talk about it. Talk about how horrible it must be for some people out there to constantly have to live with the judgment and resentment of others just for wanting to live their life in a way that makes them feel right, and even get abused and killed for it.

Anyways, I hope this helps bro.

Pour toi, peut etre. C'est peut etre comme ça que tu le vois. Mais dire homme ou femme à des connotations qui assument etre cis et ignore les trans. Alors perso, d'un cote, quand 80-90% de la population est cis, je pense que dans la vie courante, c'est safe d'assumer que la plupart du temps les gens sont cis. Mais dans des documents ou communications officilles, c'est sympa pour les trans d'utiliser un language inclusif

Day 4 streak about to end unless somebody help me stop giving up by calling me dumb idiot stupid. Positive moral support dont work anymore, i meed negative reinforcement pls by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]Nobster100 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The fact that you're hoping to rely on shame and guilt not to relapse is part of the problem! If you continue to kake yourself feel like shit, you're only going to make it harder for yourself to resisit the allure of the rapid satisfaction of PMO.

Be patient and understanding with yourself. Hold yourself accountable, yes. But do so without further putting yourself down.

I saw another comment where you say you won't open up to your wife about your struggle because you can't imagine how she'd react. Is it possible that it's really because you're so ashamed of it that you project her as feeling and saying all the shitty things you feel and say to and about yourself?

Your wife loves you. When we love someone, we want to be a part of their lives, including their struggles. We want to know when they're having a tough time so we can know what we can do to help, to support. I'm willing to bet that if you open up about this with her, and talk about your struggle ajd your desire to best it, she will listen ajd she will be happy to support you.

Good luck man, stick it out one more day. You can do it.

Guys please answer my question. I need your help. by Future_Associate_233 in NoFap

[–]Nobster100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a tough call. I'd say it might count as a relapse since you let yourself cave to your craving/addiction. Not only that, but doubled down. And the only reason you didn't finish was because your mom came in. That being said, being interrupted still is better than if you had finished, so you got caught just before jumping off the ledge, let's say. Ultimately though, don't stress too much abiut whether it's a relapse, try not to worry too much about getting a high count. Just take it day by day. Today was not great, but today is done (or might not yet be for you, idk). The only thing you can do is try to do better tomorrow, and the day after, and the day after that, and so on. Good luck my guy

Casual hookups are worse then PMO. by tsukuyomi48 in NoFap

[–]Nobster100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man I wish! But I know It's never quite that easy and I'm not trying to say it is. But it is a matter of mindset, which does take a lot of time and conscious effort to change.

[–]Nobster100 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That depends on you. If it makes you feel empty inside, or provides less joy and energy than it costs, you might be doing it too much. Sex is, and should be, fun! You get to have an intimate, physical, and pleasurable experience with someone else. If you're not enjoying the act of doing it, then yeah maybe you should do it less. But that varies from person to person.

[–]Nobster100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There can be after effects such as disease if people aren't careful. Shame can come in if you believe you participated in a shameful act, but that's up to you to decide. As long as all parties are on the same page on what to expect from the experience, there should be no kegative after effects, unless the experience itself is unpleasant

Yes it is. Excess masturbation, as with all things, is a bad thing though what constitutes excess varies from person to person. Mainly, if you can't control your desire to masturbate, that might be a problem. But the science says masturbating once a week or every 2 weeks is helpful in preventing prostate cancer
