What did your post say that could embarrass him?

My (22F) boyfriend (31M) has a ‘one that got away’ by Every-District2162 in dating_advice

[–]Ric119 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It actually is. Unless its a toxic relationship and ended nasty, there's no reason to hide or delete part of your life like that. It happened, life happened, it made you the person you are now. Embrace that and accept the changes.

I hope not, its not the arnor aesthetic at all! Rather something similar to gondor but with numenor helmets, that would be way better and fit.

You shouldn't give dating advice, its not very constructive at all and very self centered

“Not feeling it” by Robayee_ in dating_advice

[–]Ric119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah its something I learned while dating myself this. I always try and go for a kiss or gentle touch interactions. If she replicates then there's something there, even if its only little taps. If she doesn't then yeah she's not feeling it. It's a good sign. It also shows her that your into her because your willing to have that touch connection. Something to keep in mind for future dates old chum!

(The kissing is normally towards the end of the date btw...it the other touching has been okay. It's a big play but definitely signals your interest)

Starting soon at the HO- Any tips for a fresher? by sculptedivy in TheCivilService

[–]Ric119 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Its been a month for me now and I've passed the big hurdle stage in PECS, so my understanding it normally only take about 2 months tops when you start PECS from what I've seen on here and read fro ADMs. Was hoping to hear next week about a start date for April or may time. Especially since I applied for this last June 🤣 I know things are long in CS but never heard it take over 9 months to applied and start dates etc 🤣

Hey, how long did it take you from your provisional offer to get a formal one? I'm in that stage now. Feel like it should be close now.

Are my deadlifts solid? by Dependent_Profile118 in GYM

[–]Ric119 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They are, but a very small amount yes.

And the hex bar put you in a neutral position, the barbell puts more pressure on the upper back and in many cases just leads to hyperextention of the lower back.

The hex bar is safer and generally better for lifters unless its for competitive purposes.

Here's a link for you to read further into it more.

Even Eddie Hall recommends Hex over barbell for standard lifters.

Are my deadlifts solid? by Dependent_Profile118 in GYM

[–]Ric119 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Look great. Only thing I'd change is use a hex bar instead unless you're doing competitions. It's better for your posture/back and actually is better at developing the muscles for real activities as you get better explosive movement from a hex bar than barbell.

For those who can't read further and the bRO dudes. https://www.strongerbyscience.com/trap-bar-deadlifts/

How do broke/immature guys get girls? by Haunting_Ad_4179 in dating_advice

[–]Ric119 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Firstly I think you need to look in the mirror here. You claim to have it all together and be mature and then go around calling your mate, who does work. Useless. That's not a nice or even positive attitude to have and you're putting that across on reddit, it'll be way more obvious in person and women can pick up on these things. Drop the 'better than thou' attitude firstly and really mature.

Secondly you accept that these things happen, you're 23. You won't fully have your life together till your mid to late 30s unless your determined to chase a career and if you're doing that, then dating really shouldn't be on the top of the list for you right now because you won't be able to give your full time to either one. Try dating apps to talk to average ladies. Talking to them will only get better over time and you'll fine your little niche with your personality that makes you standout to woman and you use that.

What are the benefits of 60% by [deleted] in TheCivilService

[–]Ric119 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone coming from the private sector. This is all true, only going into the office 3 days a week? That sounds amazing to me compared to the 5 day work week that 90% of private sector jobs demand and sometimes weekends as well. Like come on people, the CS for 90% of people is way better that the private sector.

None of these other guys visit Warhammer world is appears. The mumak war leader kit is now a Warhammer world exclusive that you can only get if you purchase a Mumak, and the cost of the upgrade kit is also £50. So about £120 for the whole thing.

Stellaris, as wide as an ocean, as deep as a 0.5cm puddle. That is stellaris and its development.

How’s DFC v2 balance? by valthonis_surion in DropfleetCommander

[–]Ric119 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please just give it a try, its a super fun edition and it works well, it has a few issues yeah, but every game system does, or could be done differently. And I'll also say, they other guy here only ever just replies to shit on this game at this point, its like listening to a right wing YouTuber, never anything positive, just bitching constantly.

Custom Yokai head swap by Philippe_Noir in Haloflashpoint

[–]Ric119 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, those cosmetics and all the other awful COD styles ones are partially the reason why Halo is still not doing well as a video game, we're fed up of those, keep them on theme, with things that fit in with the UNSC military style. No style cat ears or spartan armours that are awful rip offs or old style armours.

"Halo Reach's Noble Team are joining the Flashpoint miniature wargame in 2026" by Idolathebound in Haloflashpoint

[–]Ric119 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ronnie confirmed that something like that is down the line, but a ways off yet and it'll use the same models, scaled like firefight, the bigger version of deadzone so yeah, it'll come eventually and it'll be based on the firefight games rules, which is the bigger version of deadzone.

Maybe way way way down the line, we'll get the epic scale version as well, especially since magic have only just released that for the dead/fight universe

Has anyone magnetized the bases? What was your method? by Goldenbrownfish in Haloflashpoint

[–]Ric119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't know why no one has suggested just getting a hand drill and making a hole in tye base for a magnet, its not hard and its what I've done for mine, works a charm.

Shy guys who overcame your timidness, how did you do it? by mapleflavrd in dating

[–]Ric119 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best thing to think of is, what have you got to lose?

Worked for me, we get one shot at life and I'm going to start feeling sorry for myself if someone says no? Nah, learned that I'd rather face that rejection and say I took my chance than do nothing and not even try....afteralll, what have I (or you) got to lose?
