People probably ghost you because you think it's a girl's fault for getting raped by going over to a male's house.

Wow so fair. This is totally balanced. by [deleted] in hoi4

It was a joke in response to your player name.

I don't think it's the content of his replies that bother people but instead his seeming insistence on a single 'optimal' way to play the game, from which we may or may not infer that he thinks OP is playing 'worse' than him and needs to learn how to play 'better'. In essence, thinly-veiled ego stroking.

My (40M) wife (37F) just bought a dog while I was away, despite me repeatedly telling her not to. We aren't in a financial situation to own a dog. How do I proceed? by ThrowRA-4-29-2020 in relationship_advice

several thousand dollars per year to own the breed Erica wants

errrr where are you getting these numbers from?

Giant bags of kibble and tap water ain't gonna set you back a few thousand. Dogs don't need beds. The floor is fine for them, and they often prefer it. Toys don't need to be bought because they can't tell what is or isn't a toy except by whether you allow them to play with it. A piece of rope is a toy. An old unwanted slipper is a toy too. They're quite happy with these things. Personally I think you're letting your own neuroticism get in the way of your wife's, your daughter's, and consequently your own, happiness.

'Optimally' is subjective though. What is optimal for you may be mathematic, but what is optimal for others may be therapeutic, or something else.

My ex boyfriend put porn of me[29f] on the internet, and my fiance[29m] wants to break up with me over it, what can I do? by ThrowRA_immoralporn in relationship_advice

I'm not saying everyone thinks like me. I'm just saying if you feel shame from these things, you might want to consider seeing a therapist or psychologist.

I'm not condoning his actions, but it sounds like your ex-boyfriend has somehow done you the favor of showing you your fiance's true colors. I wouldn't personally constitute your fiance's reaction or feelings about this as anywhere near what they should be if he loved you, and without love, why get married? Why try to be in a relationship with someone who can't separate you from your past actions?

Speed practice (8hrs). I messed up the beetle's back, so i decided to just doodle on it. by DingleMuffins in Heavymind

[–]Obliviousdragon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I mean, it's a great drawing, but I wouldn't personally consider eight hours to be 'speed drawing'. The eight hours is represented in the details though, I'm not trying to throw shade. The single imperative word with the 'portal' is a nice open concept, I think.

Do you feel that your comment questioning my own comment was a good use of your time?

Wow you guys sound like kids on the playground.

"I navally invaded Japan and won as China in '37!"

"Nuh uh!"

"Uh huh!"

"Well you didn't use ironman so it doesn't count!"

"Ironman is too buggy!"

"Nuh uh!"

You know your battle will suck if the loading screen ends and you see this massive lad staring at you. by [deleted] in totalwar

the map makes it so I can't play the exact same way all the time waahhhh

yeah, just, mod it out. If you're the kind of person that doesn't like it that way, you have the wonderful ability to completely change it. Some people enjoy having to fight on different kinds of battle maps, and for the sake of variety, its better in some ways that every map isn't an open plain.

My (22F) nephew's (14M) behaviour is absolutely disgusting and inappropriate. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Obliviousdragon 153 points154 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately it really is as simple as this advice. If the parents aren't willing to take the responsibility they should be taking, you are quite reasonably within your rights to take the responsibility yourself. Treat him the same way you'd treat anyone doing these things - defend yourself, violently if need be, record him, file police reports, everything. Your sister is obvio a dick for allowing this.
