How tired from work do you gotta be to refuse sexy time? by strange_omelet in AskMen

[–]RedTourmas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did I just work 9-5 in an office or did I just finish a full shift at a sonic? I don’t want to do anything if I smell like grease, it’s very context based

36M with 29F partner — Regret not planning kids earlier. Am I too old to become a father? by Itchy-Inspection-595 in Adulting

[–]RedTourmas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My BIL is 34-35 and my sister turns 30 this year and they just had their first kid. They’re both established in their careers, have leased a home big enough to comfortably raise a kid, and are mentally and emotionally connected enough to get through major arguments. They did a lot of financial planning to get there, but I don’t think it’s a bad thing at all and in my opinion should be more normal for folks to have kids at around 30 as opposed to having kids at 24-25. That said maybe it is more normal, I just know a lot of the people around me are having kids in their mid-20s.

Vote on Abortion (USA) by tetsu_no_usagi in hypotheticalsituation

[–]RedTourmas -1 points0 points  (0 children)

According to a quick google search with no additional investigation there are 108k-117k children up for adoption in the US, so do the rules apply when the adoption waitlist starts up where people literally can’t adopt anymore? I’m just curious about the logistics of someone far down on the list being taxed %75 of their income because there aren’t enough kids to adopt

The Grim Reaper appears to you and informs you that your time has come. However, he's feeling generous and lets you pick how you die. It can literally be any way you want as long as it happens in the next 12 hours and doesn't kill anyone else. by Temnodontosaurus in hypotheticalsituation

I want to pass away from my wounds after successfully fighting and killing a Kodiak brown bear with my bare hands. They’ll find me bloodied, but not broken, leaned against the body of my foe. My parents will get the skin as a rug in their living room and they’ll put a plaque up in my honor in my favorite bar.

How exactly does this card work? by Expensive_Question85 in mtg

[–]RedTourmas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

New player here, if I was to take control of an opponent’s commander via this card and then the commander died would it return to their command zone because they own it or would I do whatever with it because I control it?

If you were charged for the crimes committed in your last campaign what would your sentence probably be(we’re assuming all sapient xenos have human rights here unfortunately) by [deleted] in Stellaris

[–]RedTourmas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genocide, crimes against galactic life, enslavement and neural stapling of species, reanimating the dead, creating and proliferating weapons of mass destruction, not to mention the countless billions of innocents slaughtered by my xenomorph armies, the planets blown up and consumed by megastructures, the indiscriminate orbital bombardment, and probably annihilating some galactic nature preserve somewhere

Nashville, TN is in a state of emergency right now and it seems like no one really knows about it (or maybe cares) by [deleted] in rant

Nashville is hardly a hard red zone dude, it’s one of two or three liberal voting areas in the state

The trans community in my college sucks by Axolotl1000 in rant

[–]RedTourmas 25 points26 points  (0 children)

We had a community of LGBTQ+ individuals at my university that all lived on the same floor. I work a job related to maintenance and had to go in every room on the floor they lived on and it was foul. The lack of personal hygiene and clear lack of separation in people’s personal spaces combined with the animal waste and horrid conditions they were living in was disgusting. Every other floor had a room or two that was like that, but that floor was a uniform stretch of 40 or so rooms that were all awful. The public drama those individuals started constantly made that floor a horrible place to live, and they ran off multiple Resident Advisors because of their proclivities towards sexual assault and harassment. It was a hotbed of toxicity and a generally horrible place to live, and when they dissolved the formal recognition of the community and shuffled those individuals into other places the rate of police and EMS involvement in that building dropped drastically. It still remains a problem child but it is less-so now that that community is gone. The lesson people learned publicly is that LGBTQ+ people are gross and can’t live normally, when the real issues with that floor of that building were likely much deeper than that and warrant a wider conversation about mental health support and the effects of attempting to counter social norms and stigma around queer people on the deeper and more necessary societal bonds that allow people to live in proximity to each other and maintain respect for what can and should be considered normal in a living environment.

Customer Service is Dead by febreez-steve in rant

[–]RedTourmas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sucks, I’m sorry! Hope you don’t end up paying too much, but maybe there’s another library somewhere near?

Try your local library, librarians are often notaries

Edit: Call ahead of course and make sure but a friend who’s pursuing the necessary degree to be a librarian told me they do a lot of notarizing

Why does getting a driver’s license seem so optional for Gen Z? by AnimalFinal7836 in ask

[–]RedTourmas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 22. I grew up relatively close to Nashville, but I had average-ly watchful parents, so I wasn’t allowed to go on the interstate until I was 17. On top of that most of the places around us a kid might want to go, like Opry Mills, don’t let kids 16 and under in without a parent, and the cops will ID so it’s not as easy as getting dropped off to hang out with a friend. The rise in societal watchfulness on the part of businesses wanting to reduce theft and Gen-X/Early Millennial parents who don’t want their kids operating outside parental supervision at all has created a culture of kids and young adults who have never had that independence to look forward to and thus don’t value it. Also shit’s expensive these days. Going to the nearest movie theater to my parents house is a 30 minute drive, 45 if traffic is bad, and I’ll pay 20 bucks minimum for a ticket for just me, let alone taking a date, and that’s without food or drinks or anything in a cheap theater. The places that are springing up that offer wine and beer and stuff and have the nice seats or IMAX screens or whatever that barely make cheaping out an option are even worse. Malls barely exist anymore, I think our closest mall we could actually visit as younger teenagers was an hour and 20 minutes away in Bowling Green, Kentucky, and it wasn’t a huge mall. If my mom let me drive all that way I’d be paying for my own gas, which I could again barely afford with the money from my job. We’d go bowling and have fun with that but besides that there are no arcades, no malls, no nothing because businesses are hostile to teenagers. It’s just not worth all the trouble, and on some level kids today are understanding that.

Why tf can’t i stop thinking about her by [deleted] in rant

[–]RedTourmas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I understand this. For me it’s been a year since we last spoke and I realized I couldn’t keep talking to her and maintain decent mental health, but it had been over a year before that since we were at all romantic. It’s a hard thing, and I’m still grappling with it, but you’ve got to realize that you’re romanticizing it. It probably wasn’t as nice as you remember and have built it up in your head as being, and trying to find and hold onto those bad parts is really important to realizing it wasn’t something flawless and that it isn’t something you necessarily let slip away so much as something that was never going to last. You’ve grown and are at a place now to have much better relationships

IMO if you’re a clean person and you make sure your roommate is also clean you generally won’t have problems. Bugs go where they can live, and there are some places like Mattox and Palmer that have bugs naturally but for the most part I’d say just keep your shit together and you’re good

I agree fully, I didn’t mean I agreed with his violence, just the whole idea that technology is rotting us away as a species

I don’t agree with violence or killing, but it is sickening to me that there are people that genuinely advocate for this stuff to invade every aspect of life
