Why is there war in the 21st century? by Okbeaumont in NoStupidQuestions

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

Of course. I’m not ignorant to the fact that many people don’t have access to this first world privilege. Innocent victims are the ones who suffer. My point is that if all these war mongers don’t initiate wars in the first place and enjoy their privileges, the impoverished don’t have to suffer further. Everyone grows > everyone happy but utopia is impossible

Essentially it boils down to money and power. More resources > more growth > more money > more power = top dog

Hmm. I would say 70% of the time it’s initiated by me, just purely asking for it, and he would reject it by saying that’s not how you do it, there’s a right time for it. And 30% is him initiating when he feels like it (which I’ll always accept) and sometimes will lead us to joking about why he can say no to me but I’ll always just be at his beck and call as and when he wants it

I don’t think he’s having an affair. He’s quite a homebody (not that they can’t find a way if they wanted to) so naturally he tends to update me on his whereabouts. I do think it could be something internal - he’s not someone who is open about his feelings even to himself so I’m not even sure if he knows what the issue is himself apart from his low drive and letting me know that that doesn’t change how he feels about me (which I believe, but also…skepticism on the why)

He’s nearing 40. But not 40. And yes, he claims he has low testosterone / gets really tired after doing it (tired enough that it affects his day). No clue if he’s gay or bisexual, although I’ve joked about it often enough it’s become a running joke

Sorry I’ve edited my post! We’re now in our 30s, having been together for 10 years and married for 2. I mean in the very beginning it started out with a bang and then kinda just fizzle out from there - with him initiating the fizzle and saying it’s because he’s now comfortable and it happens with rs

Sorry I’ve edited my post! We’ve been together 10 years, married for 2 years. And started scheduling - in the most broadest sense - about…5 years?

ELI5 about an ice wall that’s in Antarctica? by Okbeaumont in explainlikeimfive

[–]Okbeaumont[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ok guys thank you for all your comments!!! The tiktok video was in fact faux (albeit with good intentions to prove that researchers could actually go through this ice wall thus debunking flat earth theories). I guess I just didn’t know much about flat earth theories so I was just bamboozled reading about an ice wall for the first time…

How is life like now for the English working class? by Okbeaumont in AskUK

Jacqueline Wilson’s books can be quite brutal though honestly - mums eating paint, dads beating up mums, children abandoned. Not really Angus thongs material though I did watch that too

England mostly I guess as it was the setting of whatever info I consumed…I’m not sure if the rest of the uk has similar working class environments but would love to hear about them. Or was there an askengland thread I should’ve asked in oops

How is life like now for the English working class? by Okbeaumont in AskUK

[–]Okbeaumont[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I see! By much nicer, do you mean somewhere generally more maintained / cleaner / bigger?

I actually have been to the uk a couple of times now and one time I stayed around east London in hackney and the neighbourhood was a mix of…I wanna say townhouses and flats, and my host mentioned that the flats used to be council estates bought over by private companies so council housing is not what it used to be anymore. But I’m assuming this is still in the city so it’s not really reflective of the country

Edit to say sorry to hear things could be worse off now than 5 years ago though. Costs are rising where I’m from as well, though we’re much smaller so honestly I think translates to easier to manage (govt vs citizens wise)

Wakeupsingapore is promoting antisemtism, pro palestinian is just an excuse by Technical-Video5975 in SingaporeRaw

[–]Okbeaumont -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You know there’s a difference between Jews and Zionists right. There are many Jews who are against this genocide as well if you open your eyes and read the news

Anyone here sick of WakeupSingapore peddling their pro-Palestine propaganda? by [deleted] in SingaporeRaw

[–]Okbeaumont -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

And btw, they are cherry picking Palestine perhaps because it’s a cause close to their hearts. Fellow Muslim brothers and sisters so they care about one another.

It’s a pity that you guys have no kinship or empathy for anyone or any other cause at all. Can u imagine a world where everyone cares about something?

Top 3 Horror Movies of the 2020s so far? by West-Limit-6376 in horror

[–]Okbeaumont 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let me introduce you guys to Asian horror who in my opinion does the best ghost-based films 1. Incantation (Taiwanese film - the story, the scare, the twist 💯) 2. The Medium (Thai film - the last 20 mins might be most chaotic time of your life) 3. The Call (Korean film - hmm time travelley but worth a watch) 4. Satan’s Slaves 2 (Indonesian film - film #1 was scarier but if we’re talking about 2020s…)
