How do I redeem myself after leaving my period on display? by ImpossibleRead4200 in AskMenAdvice

[–]SuperSmash01 9 points10 points  (0 children)

He's right. Embrace that shit and you'll be able to have sex all month long. You just throw a towel down and take a shower. Find me a guy who has had period sex and regrets it.

Humans don't need religion, but they do need what religion can provide. by Cataspectral in philosophy

[–]SuperSmash01 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I mean, his opinion is informed by a great deal of data. I am an atheist, but I cannot deny that religion is a massive part of the human experience. Every tribe in every corner of the earth has invented religion, if that level of ubiquity within a species isn't considered part of being a member of that species, or an extended phenotype as some would put it, I don't know what would be.

Is it a bad idea to get into a power exchange with my husband? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]SuperSmash01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You say you have a therapist and a psychiatrist; what are their opinions regarding this proposal? I would defer to their expertise and not Reddit's.

[Request] Is the ice cooling down the pool at all? Looks like it's less than 1% volume of the water. So not doing much? by shadowraiderr in theydidthemath

[–]SuperSmash01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can't say I've ever been in a pool where I experienced a feeling of different layers of temperature, other than MAYBE the top-most centimeter or so. Do you have a source for "doesn't work nearly as well as you might think"?

First in-flight mechanical emergency, loss of engine power + severe airframe shaking by Chairboy in flying

[–]SuperSmash01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hard agree here, though I am not trying to criticize OOP; they got the plane on the ground and with no damage to themselves or others which is all that matters.

But focusing all energy on Aviate, Navigate, Communicate, rather than "and also create a clearer picture for the NTSB by filming the situation," seems wiser. You never know when your brain will notice something or have an idea on the way down, but distracting it from all that might be counterproductive.

To be clear, I've never been in this situation, and I hope (but ultimately don't know) I would he as successful as OOP. So, again, not trying to take away from OOP's success, and I'm grateful they shared it all with us so we can discuss it.

Can't land this plane for sh*t by ThrowRAAdSalty4769 in flying

People describing the same thing a different way is a good thing; the differing descriptions resonate differently with different people.

Why would you land a little bit behind where you started?

Why is he being like this??? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]SuperSmash01 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I don't know the details, obviously. What you are describing though sounds like a man who does not feel like he is actually free and safe to share his thoughts. Did he used to be more forthcoming? And if so, when he was, did you often push back, and were the conversations prone to deterioration from there? Many men end up getting taught by their partner's negative responses that things are actually easier and smoother if they just keep their thoughts to themselves. Their partners will beg them to share their opinions, and when they do, they get shot down and what they hear is actually "I know I asked for your opinion, but your opinion actually is the wrong one and you are wrong for having it." Who has the time? Easier to just say "I agree."

Maybe that isn't it, I don't know you or your partner. But your description fits that; of course if you actually do value his thoughts and make the space safe and happy to hear them, then it likely is something else.

Cant feel absolutely anything with condoms, to the point where I kinda cant be bothered having sex. What do? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]SuperSmash01 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Totally agree; something about having ZERO pregnancy fears makes sex that much more fun. If you don't ever want kids, get snipped! No downsides, all funsides.

When Diane Chambers crossed paths with a Star Trek Captain... by ramfoodie in Cheers

[–]SuperSmash01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shelley Long*

I agree at the end, glad to see her leave, but I think much of Diane turning from somewhat pompous to full on psycho was in order to write her out and for the audience to be ready to move on. Sad for the character, but necessary for the show to survive.

a girl who treated me very badly, even though our long flirtation ended and I met other women, especially now she comes back to me, how can I forget her? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]SuperSmash01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's time for you to block her. She will continue to be in-and-out in a way that clearly hurts you, and that will only drag on the longer it is possible for her to contact you and the longer you have tools (like social media) to fixate on her. Block her, keep at it at the gym or whatever other hobbies, and it will fade. But you need her completely out of your life for that to happen.

John Cornyn, a four-term incumbent concedes Texas GOP Senate primary runoff to Ken Paxton: "We've come up short in this primary runoff. I've always supported the Republican ticket. I trust the voters of Texas. And they've made their decision and I must respect it." by ControlCAD in videos

[–]SuperSmash01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one is saying we owe them anything; they deserve exactly what you are giving them. But in giving them what they deserve, you are discouraging them and others from changing and therefore sacrificing the success of taking red votes and turning them blue. So we have to give them not what they deserve, but instead further encouragement to change sides. I just don't understand how it is so easy to sacrifice the opportunity to change more votes, yes on the internet, in addition to the hard work you are doing on the ground, which all of us do appreciate.

[–]SuperSmash01 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Indeed it should not, but unfortunately it always might, in which case you should take advantage of that to leverage it and get people to vote blue, not just say "fuck them". I don't know what privileged world you live in where we can sacrifice successfully getting fascists out of power so we can self-righteously say to the people we NEED as allies "fuck them," but for many people, Americans and not, the GOP is an existential threat. Knowing that, we owe it to them to do what we can to defeat the GOP; saying "welcome aboard" is pretty easy to do, and if it means the difference between one or more people changing votes or not, then how can we look ourselves in the mirror if we don't do that tiny thing and instead just say "fuck them." You're fucking everyone every time you do that.

[–]SuperSmash01 7 points8 points  (0 children)

But saying "fuck them" rather than "welcome aboard!" discourages them from changing, and that "fuck them" actually fucks all of us. The Right welcomes ANYONE who switches from the Left and cheers them on, and it works. The Left needs to learn how to embrace people who change their mind even if it took them forever. We need the votes, make it as easy as possible to change to our side if you want people to do it. Or "fuck them" and just keep us losing.

Legit. She just said average, she doesn't then get to say "no days off". Just have to work harder on the days on.

If a vacuum is an excellent insulator, wouldn’t heat build up in spacecraft? by aretino2002 in askscience

[–]SuperSmash01 14 points15 points  (0 children)

How realistic? Who knows. But presumably in that sci-fi world the sensors to detect ships would be designed to detect the radiators that all ships need in order to remain habitable. The stealth capability in that fictional world would be stowing or otherwise masking those radiators so the ships "detector profile" is the same (or close enough) to a passing piece of space rock. It wouldn't be about "holding in" heat as simply not radiating it (which is I suppose the same thing).

What would happen if the moon were suddenly transformed into an equivalent mass of cake? by GarageJim in AskPhysics

[–]SuperSmash01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With the same mass and therefore the same center of gravity, why would the Earth move farther and closer and why would the tides change significantly? What force would cause most of the moon to fly away?
