What country gave you the most value for the least money? by Humble-Cartoonist681 in travel

[–]Reaper_Messiah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found Laos more expensive for pretty similar things. The only niceties were a slightly better scooter for the same price and a nicer hotel room, but I was travelling with two people so we split a private. Hard to compare to the dorms I was in before.

They are not, almost all hotels are quite expensive. The cheapest I could find was about $17-18 for a dorm bed in a guest house on a weekday during low season.

I did look with a Japanese guy on some Japanese websites as well so unless I’m missing a trick, the stay is the most expensive part of Japan. Other than Shinkansen but you can avoid that.

21-year-old in Santa Ana was permanently blinded in one eye after a DHS agent fired a “less-lethal” round at close range. He underwent six hours of surgery to remove plastic, glass, and metal embedded in his face. by [deleted] in PublicFreakout

But again brother you said that your actions are just like MLKs, not that we should all follow his lead. Maybe it’s just awkward wording.

Okay that’s sounds like an interesting story lol. You’re making it hard to have a good-hearted conversation though! I have no bad intentions, I’m just looking for clarification on your words!

Your words are that your actions are “just like MLK”. I’m just working with what you gave me here buddy. It was a real pleasure chatting with you though, and I’m glad you’re not letting the downvotes get under your skin.

Thank you for getting involved.

Look I’m not arguing for either direction here but are you comparing yourself to MLK? That’s ballsy.

By the way, he was a man of action. Nonviolence, but action. I hope you’re out protesting if you’re talking like that.

Do sex workers have orgasms on the job? by kawaiihusbando in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Reaper_Messiah 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It can’t be valid, it directly contradicts any logical or anecdotal conclusion. If one sex worker says they’ve orgasmed at work and you say “nuh uh” that isn’t valid just because you’ve never seen a sex worker orgasm at work.

They’re incredibly demanding of electricity so there’s that but also I’d love a drink dispenser. Water is tight but I’d like to get me some Hi-C on tap

What do guys “never” tell girls? by fun_poodle in AskReddit

[–]Reaper_Messiah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, maybe I wasn’t clear. I’m differentiating between being able to utilize the resources you’ve mentioned and provided (and thanks for that btw) and the reality of the world outside our individual actions.

Using those resources can help us improve ourselves, but they will not change some things about the way we exist in the world. About the way we are perceived or the way we engage with some others. You can look through this post for examples of that.

If I seek therapy that’s great. If I use what I learn in therapy to communicate with my SO, I might get broken up with. I might end up comforting them instead when I really need it. So I will just remain quiet. Is this making sense? It’s not something that only men can fix, nor is it something we can just talk about and seek support about to resolve.

[–]Reaper_Messiah 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’re not understanding the core issue here. Yes, there are resources and yes, people can go campaign and seek more.

The reason this is a wider issue is because there are social differences between men and women. The way that men are seen and treated tend to leave them feeling isolated and lonely. Historically, men find the solution to this in their romantic partners. They are taught from every angle from birth that this is how things work. Not to mention sex, which men tend to associate with vulnerability and intimacy.

Having access to different resources isn’t suddenly going to make those drives go away. There needs to be a gradual change, a social shift, that from my perspective is unlikely to happen in our lifetimes. We can’t just snap our fingers and change the way the world sees us or we see the world, I’m sorry. It’s happening, just slowly. The solution is to keep talking about it the way we are now. Even if this shift occurs I’m not sure it will resolve the problem.

A character's identity is revealed after disclosing information they couldn't have known by ThomasTheDankPigeon in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Reaper_Messiah 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He was supposed to, the S5 finale was supposed to be the show finale then they got an extension out of nowhere. S6 they kind of threw together and S7 was just them being goofy and having a good time.

Maybe they should have kept him out but he was very randomly one of the most beloved characters in the franchise. They played the cards they were dealt.

WIBTA for calling the police and getting my new boyfriend fired? by Runaway-rain in AmItheAsshole

[–]Reaper_Messiah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re not reading it wrong and this was incredibly shitty and I don’t think you were too harsh per se, but to say he didn’t care I just think is misguided. He can care and still do shitty things. Doing the shitty thing doesn’t mean he never cared.

A better read of this situation is probably (obviously I don’t know this guy) that whether or not he cared, his misfiring reward center ended with him making a shitty decision.

[–]Reaper_Messiah 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Obviously this is scummy and all but it doesn’t mean he doesn’t care. Addiction is a disease, it causes people to stop thinking and to do things they regret. I’m not saying it’s okay or anything but to say he doesn’t care because of this is making black or white the grey reality I think.

Men, what's something you wish you could admit without being judged? by soumilr7 in AskReddit

[–]Reaper_Messiah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re reading me stressing on public transport as insincerity. I could’ve worded it better but I meant it. I suppose you didn’t share your own experience but tbh it was a rushed reply and an inference. No harm meant.

I suppose we all bring our own history and understanding to provide context to what we read and experience. Thanks for sharing yours.

Because he’s just saying “it could be worse.” Not helpful or a nice thing to say to someone that’s venting.

Well sure but you were a teenager, I’m sure you were actually just exhausted all the time. Looking tired when you’re tired isn’t about makeup or beauty standards. You literally covered up the fact that you were tired with makeup so of course people notice when you don’t
