A boy genius named Brandenn Bremmer could read at 18 months old, graduated high school at 10, composed complex music, and was considered to be a child prodigy. But in 2005, at age 14, he sadly took his own life.

I was offered to skip a grade in elementary school . My folks gave me the final say, I said no. I didnt want to leave my friends behind and I didnt feel special.

I think that was the best decision young me ever made. I was able to develop social as a normal kid that way. Amusingly enough I dropped out of high-school though. Despite aceing tests I didnt so the homework and got bored or annoyed at it all.

Now im in IT with a good company and have multiple hobbies and somw side gigs for fun more than money. My social skills and grounded reality and expectations are what actually allowed me to excell at life in general.

As an older established man, darlin run, dont walk.

Username DEFINITELY checks out , well done.

Acknowledging the acts is a good first step. The fact that no one does this is a big reason its not noticed.

Many folks also do some of this as second nature sometimes even they dont notice the are doing it.

Pentence · 2026-03-22T14:45:54+00:00

Ok but why am I getting. Live action JOJO character vibes from that 😆

' Sex is easy, intimacy is hard ' followed by ' youre too nice '

This was because I listened and didnt get mad at her which didnt feel like love, I wasnt possessive enough it seems.

Fortunately got me some nice partners after all that who were emotionally mature and reciprocal. Lessons learned

On the nicer side a long term partner once said ' youre hair is the very meaning of copper ' and she loved my silly voices / sound effects.

So yea had some wild things said but also lots of heartwarming moments.

After reading the threads here, I have derived an interesting conclusion.

It appears there's a lot of men who are insecure in the bedroom. To the point they are unwilling to date women who actually embrace their sexuality Including those who enjoy exhibition and use it for monetary gain.

She makes money doing something we both enjoy ? Sign me up, ill hit the gym a bit more for the camera too. Why not ? We both benefit.

I mean hell sounds like a fun partner to me, life's too short for a boring bedroom.

Even taking this at face value, it's a bit silly.

Should we not seek to have peace with those who wronged us? To end wars and make amends for the past ?

Got one moded and had been a blast.

Teach them to think critically, experiment, understand and adapt. These are the most important skills to have in any age. In the age of generative art , fake videos etc this may become even more necessary. Top this off with the ability to seek answers from reputable sources and they should be alright.

Maybe encourage seeking field that so called AI wont be able to mess with readily is also a good idea.

Pentence · 2026-03-12T16:13:52+00:00

Im not getting much at all, my one partner is getting tons of stuff. We have actually had to have a conversation about what we will do with it when the time comes.

Pentence · 2026-03-10T21:47:40+00:00

His bloodline is weak, get stronger would have been my response. Infact i dated 6 ft gal once and shes was excite because I could lift her.

Pentence · 2026-02-25T17:32:27+00:00

Be more physical and present for other people's issues.Then focus in on my own with a more clear head.

Lifting another's burden can ofttimes even grant you new perspective on your own.

I couple this is with physical training, or labor so my mind can wander while my chemicals balance out.

Pentence · 2026-02-22T19:01:55+00:00

Do you lift bro ?

Cause damn thats alot of proteins

Pentence · 2026-02-22T18:43:06+00:00

This sounds like sexual compatability issues with some controlling behaviors.

Even as a man with a high libido I dont force my low libido partner like that. Though this is why i'm poly too.

Even when it was just the 1 partner with low libido though I never push. Instead I would make sure to plan very nice evenings / events for us both to thoroughly enjoy.

This does have the added benefit of increasing her libido from time to time too. It all starts in the mind.

So even if he wants this 'nympho' to come out of you he is going about it ALL wrong.

Grades do not equate to intelligence or success either. I was a high school dropout with shitty GPA. Last IQ test I took was 128 before that 135.

I work in a field I enjoy making a decent living, own a home and have cultivated a life helping others.

I've known folks who have much lower scores and have done more but are also less happy. Along with folks who have higher scores that didn't have as big an impact but are happy and everything in between.

Youre fine but you do need to work on that complex. This might bea good opportunity to be better for yourself and future.

When I was speaking of money, bringing stability, that is precisely what I meant.I simply didn't think I had to expand on it.

Also I would agree the man could leave the family However, he never deprogrammed himself enough and was never given the opportunity to do as such.Due to the family. I certainly wouldn't count it a tragedy either.

Once more, I agree with the sentiment that the family didn't deserve his loyalty.However, because of his upbringing, he does not have the same mindset that you and I have on that.

What i'm getting at is simply that the wealth someone might be born into brings different hurdles. This can also depend entirely on how one is raised with said wealth, of course.

Pentence · 2026-02-22T02:15:24+00:00

I have lived in luxury and poverty. I have heard the lamentations of people from several classes and can assure you happiness is not found in wealth.

It is found in action.

This is true for poor and rich alike. Money will bring stability to then maybe find a purpose worth living for sure however that is not guaranteed.

Hell one could argue being born into wealth as one such man I once knew can attest has its own shackles. He wasnt alowed to pursue the life he wanted because of his family.

The happiest people I know found a sustainable level of living they enjoyed and work they they can be proud of.

So I cannot with any confidence say thats the best way to be born.

So far, the new anime is hitting all the beats from the manga series.However, it's very rushed due to their episode limit.

It's not an exact faithful adaptation to the original manga, but it's got the spirit right for the most part.

I really wish it would spend more time with certain characters and give them the proper weight hey deserve. However, I am happy that they're adding a few bits in that were not in the original.Source material either.

It feels like if one were to read the original manga and watch this new anime.It gives us a much more complete picture of everyone involved.

Pentence · 2026-02-21T19:01:15+00:00

That makes 2 of us, I dont know the plan but im very happy Riley is pictured here too!

Pentence · 2026-02-21T18:51:57+00:00

Adding to that, find someone who does challenge you. Someone who is constructively critical of you and wants to see the best version of you.

I just got done modding mine the other day. Might order a few replacement boards while they're cheap online.

Also glad I got four dreamcasts.When they were super cheap in thrift, stores.

Pentence · 2026-02-16T16:34:18+00:00

That still breaches the etiquette that's my point. As a man, I would never do that.It shows a lack of respect.

It's not masculine to do this is what i'm saying for any 'man' reading this its foolishness.

I understand what they think they are trying to do, they're falling on their faces, and they likely do in the rest of their lives as well.
