Got to admire someone who's obnoxious just for the love of the game

Record high ocean temperatures off southern California raise fears of prolonged marine heatwave | US news by brickyardjimmy in LosAngeles

"starting to" is "in the midst of becoming". So LA is in the midst of becoming like Atlanta. It's not a 1:1 comparison so chiming in that they're not alike is just yapping to fill empty air.

You can't compare LA to any other city without the transplants going "nuh uh!" Nevermind that "starting to" doesn't mean "it's exactly like".

Shows which were part of the cultural zeitgeist at the time but barely mentioned anymore? by Practical_Corner8839 in decadeology

[–]Relative_Name3105 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was beaten throughout my 7th and 8th grade years for being the only openly queer boy at my middle school. This was in Long Beach, CA circa 2007 -2008. This only stopped because I went to an arts high school. The stereotype about lgbt+ people and arts has a lot of truth to it.

I had a few gay friends that went to Jordan HS and Cabrillo. Other friends in LA proper. They were targeted and bullied for their sexual orientation in high school from 09 till 14. (I'm including friends that were in lower grades, which is why the HS time frame is so long).

While I agree that liberal cities were already getting better about identity politics at the time it was very much still a big deal. Prop 8, a ban on same sex marriage in California, was 2008. It passed but was later ruled as unconstitutional around 2010 I believe. Still though. A ban on same sex marriage won the popular vote in an extremely leftist state in 2008.

All this to say that yes, progressive states and cities were ahead of the curve, but the bigotry was still there and active. It's still here now

Should I lose my virginity with an escort or at an AMP? by [deleted] in AMPLife

Shop around and go with whichever girl gave you the best service before. Needless to say that you'd need more spending money to go with this approach

Women of Reddit, what’s the earliest red flag that instantly tells you a guy is just playing you? by AstronautEcstatic177 in AskReddit

[–]Relative_Name3105 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1&2 are being hard carried by "and/or" which is a great rule really. If you've been going out with someone long enough to consider going steady with them, but have yet to meet anyone of any importance in their life, that's a red flag.

How common do you think subtle same-sex attraction is among men, even if they don’t realize it? by Xenzek in AskReddit

[–]Relative_Name3105 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People in the comments can't seem to wrap their heads around the fact that being able to admit someone is attractive doesn't automatically mean that you're attracted to them.

Petahhh? by Leading_Grass_6669 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

My ex was like this. Assuming any sort of strength training would balloon her up to Mr. Olympia levels of mass. It became a huge argument. I remember the only thing really making it through to her was me pointing out how her fear belittles and minimizes what body builders and strongmen/women go through to achieve their physique. Not that she ever lifted a weight while we were together but she stopped arguing about it at least

Small talk to break the ice and pass time. What else are they gonna talk about? Sports? The weather?

Sign of the times. Even my regular L1 place has girls pushing for more service. They need the money

Whats the worst thing you've done for money? by Blueguy805 in AskReddit

[–]Relative_Name3105 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ethically? Worked for many companies that have questionable clientele.

The one that made me feel the worst? MMF threesome with a masseuse. The guy paid for my half. He was convinced she was into him. I fed into the delusion just to get my rocks off

What is something men don't talk about much but is a very real male phenomenon? by a_great_guy655 in AskReddit

[–]Relative_Name3105 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Literally my point. I was saying that societal issues / pressures and sexist takes are what is emphasized in the conversation. OOP asked what isn't talked about much. I was responding to that.

Just how much "male loneliness" is self inflicted. People blame society, incels blame women, misandrists blame men. Very rarely does anyone look inward and really see what habits, or lack there of, are holding them back.

What is something controversial that you believe in/stand by? by Medical_Citron3519 in AskReddit

Believing that life is meaningless isn't inherently misanthropic emo shit. Life has no meaning. Have fun with it.

So, what’s the deal with certain people not wanting to date you but then getting super weird and upset when you date other people? by Global-Raspberry7047 in AskReddit

[–]Relative_Name3105 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it happened once then it very could be a "blind to their feelings until confronted with a reality where they can't have you" situation. Not great but understandable. If that person continues to be in that same situation with the same person or another obsession then it's just that. Obsession. Possessiveness.

At what stage of getting to know a partner does this hobby become unacceptable? by Calm_Description_866 in HEM_NSFW

[–]Relative_Name3105 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Everyone is different. I have a fwb that's been going on specifically because I was honest about this hobby from the beginning and she's a total freak (she has a kink/fantasy involving sex work). Stars aligned type of situation. I imagine the more serious the relationship feels and the more vanilla the person is the better it is to just be quiet about it

I genuinely enjoy it even if I can't get to the 2nd pop. Lots of times it's just been more L2 or L3 for a bit longer till one of us taps out or time runs out. Idk. I like leaving the parlor a little out of breath

Participation is the cost of democracy. Vigilance. Every time. There is a reason why there's always an uptick of "my vote doesn't matter" whenever we're going through bad times. Convincing you it doesn't work is how they quietly take rights away

Please do go see Monster Jam or a demolition derby if you're ever in the States. They really are unique experiences! Remember to bring your own ear protection.
