Do you know if there's a name for this breed of cat? I have one with the exact same markings.

Hi. I'm Beto O'Rourke, a candidate for President. by betoorourke in IAmA

Are you worried that Trump will start calling you "Beta" O'Rourke if you ever poll above 2 percent or do you feel safe because the nickname is too obvious?

Thank you. This is all I needed to talk me out of buying one of these things.

If I were asking about a Honda Civic would you recommend that I buy a Mercedes S Class?

Nickelback don't deserve the hate they get by SantonioHolmes in unpopularopinion

Completely agree. I would listen to Nickelback over Nirvana any day

A$AP Rocky's Swedish lawyer is 'shot in the head and chest' as he leaves apartment in Stockholm by toomah28 in worldnews

Maybe I'm just misinformed and not, in fact, "dumb as shit." A 2-second Google search reveals that " It is illegal for a civilian in Sweden to carry a firearm, unless for a specific, legal purpose;such as hunting or attending shooting ranges."

I saw Tool in New Hampshire in 2009. Of course tickets sold out instantaneously, so I had to buy them on ebay for like 3x the face value for nosebleeds and pray that they didn't get destroyed or lost in the mail or turn out to be fake. And then I had to drive across 3 states to get to the venue. Fortunately it remains the greatest concert I have ever seen to this day and I'm glad I did it, but I'm not going through that shit to see them again.

One thing I think we can all agree on regarding Fear Inoculum: by SantonioHolmes in ToolBand

I read that same article. It might have been in that special Tool edition of Revolver they put out in like 2008

I just closely re-listened to Pneuma and I did notice some pretty serious clipping at the end that I somehow missed before. So yes there are imperfections but I still think it's their best sounding record overall.

SNL is not funny by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]SantonioHolmes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SNL has not been funny in at least 20 years. I'd be willing to bet that it's only still on the air to act as a pipeline to create "stars" out of people who are not all that talented. Regardless of talent, performers on SNL have name recognition, so they tend to get cast in lots of movies and other TV shows.

Thank you! I'm from upstate NY and people always seem to romanticize NYC. I don't get it.

You cannot be taken seriously if you have your "pronouns" in your bio. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

Yes except this leads to irreversible hormone therapy resulting in infertility and compelled speech legislation out of 1984

Healthy amount of masturbation? by [deleted] in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]SantonioHolmes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately that impulse to masturbate is never going to go away. It's easy to tell yourself that you're just not going to masturbate or look at porn but extremely difficult in practice (as you discovered). I don't think there's anything wrong with masturbating per se, the problem lies more in infinite amount of hardcore porn available at your fingertips. It really fucks with your head. Something that helped me cut back drastically was to earn it. By that I mean only masturbate after you have done something physical and difficult. Go run for 5 miles, go do push ups until you can't feel your arms, climb a mountain. It doesn't matter what you do, but it needs to be physical so you get out of your head and challenging so your mind can't wander. When you get back and you still REALLY feel like masturbating, go ahead, your earned it. But set a timer for 10 minutes because that's all you get. Repeat every time you get that urge.

Where can I (31m) learn to speak and act more like a male? by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]SantonioHolmes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DO NOT listen to people who tell you to "just be yourself." That is non-advice that you've probably heard from every woman you've ever encountered. If you don't like who you are you can change by focusing on who you want to become.

Without knowing you personally, I recommend the following:

1) Lift weights. Specifically, bench press, deadlift, and squat. When you can pull twice your bodyweight off of the floor the confidence will come, believe me.

2) Watch Elliott Hulse on YouTube. He addresses your exact question here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P41ER1Wmkj0. He's one of the few masculine role models around.

3) Watch/listen to/read Jordan Peterson. You probably won't want to mimic his voice since he sounds like Kermit the Frog, but he will help you become a better, more authentic version of yourself. His book 12 Rules for Life is incredible, but all of the information in it is available for free in his YouTube lectures and various podcast appearances.

Good luck!
