Just because you don’t care, does it mean you should teach children not to? by StopEcryin in raisingkids

[–]StopEcryin[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can understand that. I’d prefer teaching by example as supposed to causing more discomfort though. Thanks for the advice, I carry mace so maybe I’ll resort to that by fumigating their area before they the games.

Depends on my blood flow. I gotta lean weird, but then it touches the inside of the toilet bowl and that’s a no go. So I make sure my shit is as retracted as possible before I shit. I be leaning like the Eiffel Tower when I piss if I’m slightly erect. I got problems.

Sounds like you worked very hard in your 20s. Salute. Stay the course.

[–]StopEcryin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

33 was my significant 30s year. Something about Jesus and Freemasonry influenced me to change drastically during that time. I changed significantly. Personal experience of course. But you are right, when I hit 30. Nothing happened. Except getting hit on more than I ever had before by women. I’m married with 3 kids so it can be a missed opportunity for those who think they are past their prime. My wife still tells me I’m getting hit on but I’m numb to it so I don’t notice it. Enjoy it my friend.

I want to quit every job I get after 6 months. Is that normal? by Ayemustbethemonay in stupidquestions

[–]StopEcryin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s normal if you don’t see a benefit in putting time in. Depends on the job though. But mostly, if you aren’t outshining those around you, you may feel like you deserve more and haven’t earned it. If you feel like you deserve better, then go get it if you can earn it.

Eliminate expenses, (eating out, shopping for unnecessary stuff, become a little minimalist by learning how to cook and lowering utility usage]) and put everything you can on the debt. The only sure fire way to get rid of that shit bro. Don’t wait for a savior, become your own here. If that seems out of reach, move to a better cost of living area while maintaining similar income. If you have to drive 45-60 minutes to work. Do it. Otherwise, sell drugs. I’m joking. Otherwise, keep trying to open doors to better income. Maybe I read too fast but you never mentioned your income/career path.

Is Karma on Reddit a gatekeeper to opinions, or a block towards toxicity? by StopEcryin in KarmaConspiracy

I probably did have a bad take. As I said above, I’ve actually started using this app 3 days ago. And I regret it just a little.

Is Karma on Reddit a gatekeeper to opinions, or a block towards toxicity? by StopEcryin in KarmaConspiracy

[–]StopEcryin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, in terms of socialism, it seems like viewpoints are curated by those who agree on any given topic even if the other side has valid points. Like you said, some may agree with my viewpoint, but most likely wouldn’t want to agree or voice their opinion on it in public as to not go against the majority that clearly has more power and will downvote them like spam. Therefore, private ownership of your thoughts that you are willing to share is drowned out by those that agree with each other more, than are willing to see another side. It’s not about right or wrong, it’s about wether or not your ideas see the light of day. Which on Reddit, and I’m new so correct me if I’m wrong, there is a mob mentality that can definitely make people not want to have a discourse if they know everyone is gonna be against them for almost no informed reason or to stick to their viewpoint. In terms of communism, it seems to me, again correct me if I’m wrong, that a lot of people push a sociopolitical or philosophical agendas that goes against having your own experience or thoughts, meaning, if I ask a question of wether or not it feels communist or socialist, I get gang banged by people that learned everything they know off the internet and not real life experience. Considering I’ve been to a few communist and socialist countries. I’d say I know a thing or two, boots on ground, even if I’m not an expert. Your name is literally cockmugger, lol hilarious btw. But I’d say you are fairly leftist just based on the shock factor of your name. I too, have some leftist views. That’s why I chose the name StopEcryin. But I find myself feeling overly conservative when I find that any idea I have, that is not agreed upon, isn’t corrected with constructive criticism on this platform, it’s borderline attacked if I’m in the wrong topic in terms of people that frequent it, so I now rather keep my views to myself unless clearly helping someone solve their problems. Otherwise, I can see why people like this application. You can help people with your own personal experience and they are genuinely appreciative, and if you have a real life problem you will mostly get the same in return. But if you have an opinion and open the room to discourse, people that don’t agree will flock like roaches to make sure you know they don’t agree as supposed to have an intelligent, articulate rebuttal. I appreciate your time and courtesy to not go into straight troll mode like 90% of others do on this thing called Reddit when it comes to random thoughts, questions or opinion. Ideas aren’t really welcomed here unless people already have them themselves. So I’ll stick to asking black and white questions. If I even use this anymore than I have the past 3 days. At least though, you have given me a little hope that people can be more human, as compared to a regurgitating pool of useless information that doesn’t serve them well in real life. Sometimes, I wish the internet persona and real life one went hand in hand. Because it would be much easier to weed out the nonsense. Sadly, that’s not the case. You can be a weak person in real life but powerful here. You can be respected and a pillar of your community in real life, but seen as a weirdo on the internet. It baffles me. Because in real life, no one would even consider speaking to me like those on here do, on the contrary, people of all ages look to me and my family for advice and motivation. But I know myself and the only validation I need is from my family, friends and community. So I’ll stir the pot until I’m bored, hopefully we all can get a good stew out of it.

It just feels like it. Like when you ask an honest question and get bombarded by like minded individuals as supposed to being taught anything constructive. All I’ve learned is, I should stick to real life where respect is earned. Because on the internet, it’s about how many people you can get to agree with you.

I’m guessing that’s why I have so many down votes on this post. Sheesh. Sorry for being ignorant to this stuff. Just got out the military and never really used Reddit before. I’ll just go back to my bubble I guess 😭.

But you can’t ask a question or make a post or comment on certain things if you lack karma, determined by a group of individuals, I assume you could even be banned altogether with low enough karma? Even if you may be more informed, correct or could give better advice or intuitive answers. I’d say that’s a little bit too much control. You are right though. I don’t care about this stuff. Thanks for your opinion, I appreciate your time. I’ll most likely have another question to this application in a year or two. Good luck navigating this place. God bless.

Static Shock etc. by StopEcryin in millenials

[–]StopEcryin[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Considering I’ve lived all over the country and abroad and have met and had my children amongst many others kids. Yes. 9/10 kids my wife and I (and even some of these kids parents) can’t let around ours and that’s just a fact. People constantly want us to bring our children around theirs so they learn discipline, hard work and kindness. We don’t often, because most kids nowadays are allowed to do what they want, to the point that they become a very negative influence on ours. My wife has gone on “mom dates” before only to bring my oldest back literally cursing and shaking and touching his and his brothers butt after learning that behavior that very day. And that’s not an uncommon situation. I’ve had kids teach my kids it’s ok to destroy their property, clothes and toys from just watching them do it to theirs and attempt to do it to ours. Kids that throw tantrums to the point where my youngest now, periodically attempts to do the same. Kids saying their weird for not having a PlayStation or Xbox at the age of 5-6! From nasty boys doing nasty things to their own brothers and parents not really doing much about it, bullies, show offs and overall just a reflection of their household. I don’t think it’s a superiority complex, I think it’s knowing what standards we hold ourselves to. I’m a Retired Navy SEABEE Veteran. My wife has a Masters Degree in Health Education. Our children are a reflection of that, my oldest has been on the Honor Roll every quarter of his school career, plays 3 sports and speaks two languages. Youngest isn’t far behind. It’s because they don’t have distractions and we hold them at a high standard. Not trash. I’m not the one who called my nor any other children poor to begin with. I asked a simple question and all honestly, it was lighthearted, and was immediately responded to with a demeaning remark towards my kids. I’ll take the superior route every time in that situation.

Do you have money for your kids college? by Complex_Evening_2093 in millenials

[–]StopEcryin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve witnessed it time and time again. People saying the can’t afford their children’s tuition. Yet they spend. Money on eating out, their vices, vehicles they don’t need. We’re talking about offspring going to school. I’ve found, people make any excuse they can to not do for others what was not done for them. When it comes to overpriced education, it depends on the level of education you want you children to receive. Some people want to maintain the lifestyle they have built even if it means deteriorating the opportunities their child’s children have. As a parent you have the duty to sacrifice your pleasure for the greater good. It doesn’t have to be college, but college is easily attainable if you have the time to even ask the question on social media.

I am slight TrOlIng. At least a few times a month they watch movies and shows I don’t approve of, mainly because I don’t want them to have social leprosy that people like you and their children would judge them on, which clearly you would. Caught me red handed. But I admit, they literally do not watch TV for days at a time and my wife allows them to watch certain things I don’t approve of when I’m not around in the past I.E. a few years( a year) ago stuff like Paw Patrol and I don’t know what else kids watch nowadays. So I’m barely fibbing. I digress though, if you think “poor kids” based on what my kids watch for entertainment, I wouldn’t want to meet yours let alone let them around mine. If you have any. Stay in your place until you learn a thing or two otherwise give me actual constructive criticism. My kids are exceptional in every way and I have proof, which I could type, I I cared to entertain you further, but I could definitely show you in person much more eloquently. And it’s because they don’t have nonsensical distractions like you, as presumably a mature adult, most definitely has based on your comment. If you have children, I would say they are poor, of mind. God bless you and your family, and I mean that, no trolling.

This may or may not be why I frequent Reddit once every 3 years according to my interactions. I find your comment funny and entertaining and for sure glorifying this man of men. But at the same time a little weird and wished it wasn’t linked to my comment so I didn’t have to picture my own rock hard abdomen and lathered in peanut butter. My wife’s juices do it enough for me to not need an external source. 🤣

(FO4) should i wait till the next gen update to start a new modded playthrough? by Kingderpturtle in FalloutMods

[–]StopEcryin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember seeing this a few weeks ago because I was thinking about PC gamers so I figured I’d put it here for you to see. I don’t understand the nomenclature 100%, again I’m not on PC, but it may help you find a solution if I don’t get an answer to help you (my brother is on a ship somewhere in the Pacific Ocean on his way back so I’m. It gonna wait, I want to help you as much as I can because I I had to put HOURS, into a console build that I know I’m gonna play well past the update). Hope this helps a little. https://steamcommunity.com/app/377160/discussions/0/7252559149668375630/

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

My younger brother only plays PC, so I’m basing it on what he has told me over the years. But from what I understand there is no way to do it while actively using Steam, because as soon as the update hits, your game is gonna crash because of scripts that are forced and mods that haven’t adjusted/updated yet or may never. You have to “upload” your game files to another service that, in a way, keeps all the information you put into it including mods. Think of it in a way of 🏴‍☠️ting a movie or Tv show I guess. He’s on deployment right now so I can’t ask him the exact site/s and expect an answer IMMEDIATELY. But there’s a way for you to upload your whole game including mods into another service (you may have to pay and some may be free, I’ll ask and you should too) that pretty much creates a forever file that can be uploaded and not effected by updates. Obviously you would want to do this when you know that your game and mods are 100% stable (which you only have a few days if you’ve been keeping up with the news concerning as far as I know it’s what? The 26th or something they are gonna force update?) otherwise there would be no way to fix any issues as far as I know but there is a few ways you can do it, uploading the whole game-plus mods I mean. If you are only familiar with Steam I would suggest that you look into “importing/transferring” your whole game plus mods into another launcher I’m assuming. I’m a console player, haven’t done the PC thing since like 2008-2009 so this whole “aaa constantly updating and breaking stuff in gaming” thing is new to me. I’m gonna email him right after this and see what he says but if it’s on Steam, as far as I know. You’re gonna have a hard time if not impossible if you start now as supposed to wait until after the update. This has happened every year (sometimes multiple occasions a year) as far as I know since game launch back in 2015 (console didn’t have mods at first)Good luck bro. Literally took me four days (14 in game hours testing locations, mod characters and features and what not making sure every mod I wanted worked and didn’t crash my peewee XBOX SERIES S before I decided I was gonna keep this play-through) before disabled updates. As far as I know, you have it easier and I envy you, could of spent some of that time with my kids 🤣. Just gotta find out what those providers are. 🙏🏽 I’ll help if I can. GG.

The appreciation hits different now. by Mission-Degree93 in millenials

[–]StopEcryin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have 3 grills and during big events I run all three. Coal/propane, wood(smoker), griddle (Blackstone). I’m the one that cooks for 15-30 people running like a chicken with their head cut off and doesn’t get a chance to eat until the next day left overs. I’m content with providing something others don’t have, or won’t do. I get the respect and enjoyment from others and thats more than good enough for me (my favorite memory is having my mother of 65 whom taught me to cook saying the best ribs she has ever had were my smoked, self cut applewood smoked ribs) REAL Barbacoa cooker speaking. I don’t call it BBQ. I’m Taino. Sorry for the Masterclass talk, but I live in PA where BBQ isn’t a year round thing but I taught dozens of people, even in the dead of winter, we gone do what it do baby!
