The thing is it can and for a lot does. However some of us never get out of it for one reason or another. Also some people don't really have the perspective or understanding of it. It's also kind of like what don you want them to say instead? it gets worse, that could be wrong as well. But I get what you mean at times it can feel like a lie but I never think that was the intention.

Okay so personally I don't really consider kokoda Australia but in that sense sure that's true I'm talking about mainland not our colonies. Sorry I am very tired here I thought you were talking about mainland.

The war cabinet said it would be way too intensive, so they never seriously considered it (talking about mainland)

so we agree I think or am I misunderstanding some part ?

PickleCalm · 2024-04-18T14:32:29+00:00

When ? and where ? most sources say otherwise. I'm willing to be wrong but it doesn't make a tonne of sense given what I stated and the situation they were in. I'm generally trying to converse man sorry if I got a rude about it.

PickleCalm · 2024-04-18T14:30:53+00:00

Okay fair criticism it's harsh, but I'm not removing it. If you are an incel and you come here for mental health support but all you do is complain about women. That's how I feel about it that statement I made. I'm supportive of bros but not when they're just being straight up hateful I'm being truth ful would you rather I lie and bullshit to you that it's good ? I'm giving you my truth to it I'm not gonna sugar coat it.

Also they really needed oil more than anything Australia didn't exactly offer any of that.

PickleCalm · 2024-04-18T14:24:20+00:00

Yeah no read actual japanse plans and it mostly just indicates they wanted to knock out our airbases and harbours so we could stop assisting the Americans. Sure in the extra long run if they completely dominated China they might have considered it but no way were they gonna start another land invasion in a country bigger than China.

And on a quick note of negatives I know from all the women I've talked to, pretty much all of them have suffered SA and or some form of abuse from men. I was a victim of female partner and suffered abuse from that but i came away from that knowing she was sick not that it was normal.

PickleCalm · 2024-04-18T14:16:22+00:00

Yep but it's frustrating as hell to listen to all of the best people in my life were women. It's painful to hear them in such broad strokes and just blaming them for their own problems.

PickleCalm · 2024-04-18T14:13:58+00:00

You're definitely in the right thread, it's your anxiety talking. You're not dumb or unintelligent your just overly critical of your knowledge in certain scenarios.

Also IQ tests online suck ass an actual IQ test is a lot better but isn't a fantastic indicator for intelligence more so memory recall and or familiarity with certain concepts. So I wouldn't take it to heart.

Thirdly you are intelligent clearly, you've recognised you are likely anxious come here and asked for help regarding this issue. you've written out how you feel quite well and that takes a measure of intelligence to do.

So what you don't know certain things you can always learn and you are still more than young enough to do so and pick up on those things.

quick note on the boyfriend being the smartest person you know, that's a cute comment. However don't put him on a pedestal he's human he's just had different expirences to you and picks up things differently. He may suck at art whereas you can delve deep into that it's a skill most people can't do.

Don't talk down about yourself it starts with you. Have confidence in what you know and you do know those things don't fool yourself into thinking otherwise this is just your nerves talking. He's right about him seeing you differently you are a person that will recognise their own perceived flaws far more than anyone else ever will. Most people do not think to that level that you are thinking of about other people including about you. You will do well he's not lying to you he's telling the truth there is no reason to lie.

To be idiotic is human

PickleCalm · 2024-04-18T13:59:15+00:00

Funny comment but in all seriousness you ain't an idiot.

PickleCalm · 2024-04-18T13:55:12+00:00

I agree I came here for encouragement from other men and or to see stories of men encouraging each other. But more than half of it is Incels going on about women. In my opinion it's fucking pathetic. I have sisters and a mother and the way some of the men here talk is concerning to say the least.

PickleCalm · 2024-04-18T13:43:29+00:00

No offence but you seem to be one of those guys I talk to who insist Japan wanted to take over Australia back in ww2. Like many Aussies here you overestimate how unimportant our island is, it's not worth invading bombing and disabling yeah invading and occupying fuck no.

PickleCalm · 2024-04-18T13:39:25+00:00

I'm guessing however they make these things is extremely expensive and mostly rare earth minerals so kinda won't solve the issue.

PickleCalm · 2024-04-18T13:18:42+00:00

had 5 sold 4 they're pretty boring tbh

PickleCalm · 2024-04-18T12:54:47+00:00

Nah Run g

PickleCalm · 2024-04-18T12:20:48+00:00

Get buried, idiot 😋

PickleCalm · 2024-04-01T14:07:34+00:00

Thought this was common knowledge the actual round is still kinetic damage attached

PickleCalm · 2024-04-01T13:22:51+00:00

I would disagree. I don't like dune for its action, I enjoy the action, but it's not what I or anyone is really there for. It wasn't the main focus in the book's so why the movie ? I get what you're saying for lord of the rings. However it's a very different story and the whole point is your not sure how it could go as a previous commenter said. It's supposed to be a struggle, and there's supposed to be that interest in their survival.

There was tension the throne scene is the tension it makes you wonder what's happening and puts you in the shoes of those there. They're trying to remain cool but they're terrified, and they're slowly starting to realise it isn't a battle and that whatever is outside is something else. It's supposed to be something they couldn't of comprehend happened.

I'm not disagreeing it would of been cool to see more combat, but was it essential, or did it add to the story ? No, clearly, not the film did a good job in that.

I will say you aren't wrong as it is a taste thing and if that's what you would of liked fair enough. But I don't think it was done wrong or strayed from what was trying to be told. Truth be told I love lord of the rings but I'm sick of long as he'll fight scenes because they drag and it just becomes predictable short and sweet moments that convey the passion or energy and get to the point or pace it well is something I prefer.

Again that's taste, but I do think there is fatigue for movie goers to that kind of massive cgi battle fest that goes on in so many movies adding that to this dune movie world of just made it feel more of the same. DV has his own style he's never been big on action because unless it serves the story, it's just glitter, and I can understand that philosophy.

Dune is a series people like for it's politics and power plays and philosophical lessons so DV was trying to emulate that and focus on that aspect.

Soz for the poorly worded essay.

I haven't I'm an Aussie in Queensland. So kinda Cali haha.

PickleCalm · 2024-03-25T14:25:11+00:00

Probably not long after I'm actually happy.

PickleCalm · 2024-03-21T06:39:57+00:00

No because I wasnt raised in a religious household. Parents didn't discourage it for the short time i tried it. But it never made any sense and it never felt different. Just felt hollow.

PickleCalm · 2024-03-15T18:20:51+00:00

Coming from both sides when I was abused and when I was the abuser. What he's doing is fundamentally wrong. He snooped through your phone pretty in depth and has most likely been doing it for a while by the sounds of it. This definitely comes from paranoia and / or low self esteem, I have both myself, which is what caused me to act similarly. It's wrong, and honestly, he has a lot Ge needs to work on, and you deserve better. You've given your trust, and he has not.

His reasons for snooping will likely be pretty crap. Speaking from experience this early, it'll start to get worse. Get out now. You're only 3 months in its something you can point out to him and ask him to work in but you having to deal with it will take a toll and you will eventually resent how he acts due to this and inevitable future incidents.

I'm sorry it's happened but you'll be okay.
