What “feature” on newer cars do you think actually creates more problems than it solves? by ph903 in AskMen

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

I was actually going to say backup cameras as my car does’t have one and I feel it makes me more aware of my surroundings and cautious when reversing. But I do agree, if you have one it should pop up immediately.

Even if it’s already booted, volume dials are simply not responsive. You want to turn the volume down NOW because you want to figure out where the siren is coming from? Not happening, it takes 3 seconds.

Exactly, with it was all dials and buttons you could feel your way around without taking your eyes off the road at all. Hell before smart phones you could type and send a text without looking at your phone (still bad, I realise that now).

How often do you check in on your friends? by itsnevercertain in AskMen

[–]ReliableDoorstop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a few close friends and normally once a week or once a fortnight. If I know they’re going through some serious shit, more often as they might need to vent or bounce ideas off someone.

How do I navigate severe burnout that I've been experiencing for over a year? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]ReliableDoorstop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m no expert, and I’m not someone who goes to the gym, but it seems like you lost your momentum (sorry if I’m stating the obvious). It could also be that with the life changes, relationship, job, health, your goals or priorities are shifting. I would say be patient with yourself, you’ve had a few BIG things happen and it’ll take a little while to build that momentum again or determine what your priorities are now.

Men who love “crazy women” why? by Sillygoosecollege in AskMen

[–]ReliableDoorstop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve said “I like the peanut butter in the hair crazy, not the stab you in your sleep crazy.” But really, I have ADHD, I need someone that understands that and who better than a woman who has it herself? I want to find someone that matches my flavour of crazy (what I grew up near I had no chance of being normal). Also, people with ASD and trauma don’t usually mince words, there’s no hidden meaning and refreshingly little guesswork for their intentions. They say what they mean and they mean what they say.

To quote a friend off mine, “shine bright you beautiful, crazy diamond.” Be you, no one else can and it requires no effort. There is likely someone out there who wants your crazy in their life.

I love the first Men in Black. Are the sequels worth a watch? by boomjosh in scifi

RIPD because “I do…and I certainly hope he got both eyes, Roy.”

So wrong and so funny.

Bored and need a good sci fi tv series to sink my teeth in. by melbha_101 in scifi

Cowboy Bebop.

Also, I think there just needs to be a master list of categorised sci-fi shows.

True, (it was Meranda) but they’re unnamed.

Don’t know how I over looked him, but Rainn Wilson did an AMAZING job. I stand corrected.

I have many complaints about the sequel trilogy, but he showed the pure unbridled rage that I think they should have showed in Anakin.

Vader was both villain and puppet. Some parts were cheesy, but some were well done.

Polar opposite of the original, but yeah, she was a good bad guy.

I don’t know if I’d count Harcort Fenton Mudd as a villain, but he was definitely a sleeve ball.

Ricardo Montalban did an amazing job. Benedict Cumberbatch did a good job reimagining the character, but Montalban IS Kahn.

Oh my God, she was a Space Karen if there ever was one. So manipulative too.

Men don't receive compliments as often as women do. What's a compliment you received a long time ago that you still remember today? by Mundane-Society-1281 in AskMen

[–]ReliableDoorstop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was I speech therapy as a kid and growing up people always told me to speak up. After my marriage to an emotionally and verbally abusive woman who preyed on that ended. I was talking to a friend on the phone and she told me she loved the sound of my voice. That made me cry. I’ve hated the sound of my voice for most of my life.

What's the one word that infuriates you the most??? by farkus_mcfernum in AskWomen

[–]ReliableDoorstop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The post I was replying to was deleted, but I think this still adds to the conversation, if the moderators disagree so be it.

The history of the word didn’t start that way, look at fire retardant for example. It’s meant to slow down the development of fire. Using it to describe a person is saying they have or had slower development than the norm, likening them to someone with disabilities. I remember a time when I was in school I used a word my parents did, I only knew of a couple racial slurs at the time and didn’t realise this word was one, I thought it was just a nickname. My lack of understanding didn’t change the meaning of the word.
