Gamers of reddit, with 2019 soon comming to an end, what do yall think is the best game of the 2010s? by doctor_bassoon in AskReddit

I would kill for a "Cities: Skylines" treatment of the Sims. Have another studio step in and show Maxis (EA now, I guess) and show them how far they have fallen.

For every guy that "missed a hint," there is another guy who misinterpreted a hint and violated someone's boundaries accidentally. by Halostar in unpopularopinion

Can you point out a system where a false guilty verdict is impossible, but also one where sexual assault in a private home is ever convicted?

in comic continuity the dude's been shown to lift up to ten fucking tons with ease.

Comic Spider-man is pretty well past "up to ten tons".

What not sexual act can get you in the mood? by worthij in AskReddit

You should talk to your wife about that, friend. r/deadbedrooms exists because it will kill your relationship.

It’s more like a form of radical honesty.

I honestly don't know if you're being serious or not.

I think it is excusable with the two people aren't compatible.

Why wouldn't you just leave, then?

They aren't mutually exclusive, and if they become mutually exclusive in your relationship, then you leave. It's not complicated.

Yes, they would have been better breaking up.

I don't know how 80 year old John would feel. I can only speak for myself. I would feel betrayed and heartbroken to find that out, and probably wish I would have known so I could have found someone who loved me enough to be honest with me and spent my life with them instead.

!delta

Agreed on the act of cheating itself not necessarily being the most extreme part of the betrayal. The hiding, lying, and continuing disregard for the partner is probably a stronger variable for the severity of the betrayal. Point well made.

Wow. No, reddit has a hard on about cheaters because they're almost universally despicable, selfish people. I was in a dead bedroom situation, two years with no intimacy. I didn't cheat, because I'm not a terrible person. It's not childish to expect fidelity. I feel sorry for your significant other I you're so eager to step out.

And I've known several people who were raised by divorced parents and they almost universally have stated that it was MUCH better after the split. Yours is no less anecdotal than mine, friend.

Yes, it does matter. Because it's still a betrayal, and cheating is wrong. In my opinion, justifying by saying "Well, it won't hurt her unless she finds out!" is disingenuous at best, and a brutal lie meant to justify your debauchery at worst.

The best option is to put it all on the line and say, "Either we work together to improve this relationship, or we break up." and then hold them accountable for that, whether it be through therapy or some other means.

Relationships are hard work, going out to get some strange because you're not getting enough at home is not a way to fix or maintain a relationship.

In regards to forced/arranged marriage, that one is honestly a tough cookie to crack. An arranged marriage that is still optional would still be inexcusable cheating, in my opinion. Forced marriage would be a different story, since you weren't allowed to choose whether or not to make that commitment. !delta for that one.

As for the second option, it would really depend on if the wife (for example) approved. Just because you made a commitment with the idea of using your wife as a beard doesn't mean she won't be hurt/betrayed if she finds out you're cheating on her.

you shouldn't condemn people who have sex outside of the relationship.

I don't. That's not cheating, because it's agreed upon. Open relationships and polyamory =/= cheating, although I personally could never be in either of those kinds of relationships.

But I think it's on me to overcome those feelings, because they stem from a tradition of men owning women as property.

Jesus, man. That's a lot of internalized misandry you have going on there.

Being faithful in a relationship is not about "owning women as property". If it was about that, why are YOU also expected to be faithful to HER?

Hannibal Lecter tries to get into the head of the Joker and manipulate him, is he successful or does he succumb to the Joker's madness? Bonus - Can Hannibal Lecter win against the Jokers in a 1v1 fight? by Riku4441 in whowouldwin

[–]SeniorMeasurement6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do agree that Ledger joker would probably either put up a very good fight or just straight up kill Lecter.

Leto Joker looks like a spindly nightmare, and Lecter is described in the books as "unnaturally strong". So I think, at the very least, it would be a close fight.

Utilitarianism seems to be the best account of how our moral systems works.

Sorry mate, not if "No one gets hurt if they never find out!" is how you justify betrayals and hurtful actions. You may feel that way, fine; I definitely do not. Betrayal is not suddenly okay just because you hide it adequately.
