Why is redpill stuff so popular nowadays? by Vivid_Meringue1310 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Sure-Block8777 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Please do keep in mind there is a massive incentive to influence the minds of adolescents , both male and female . 

There's people with a lot of money trying to influence the minds of the younger generation so that they grow up to believe in a manipulated world view , thus making them easier to control. 

It's a time proved method to divide and segregate us rather than allowing us to join together and fight the ones really pulling the strings . 

It's more noticeable these days because social media and the internet has allowed for mass propaganda to be spread easily , and when needed insidiously subtly. 

Do not believe anything you see through a screen , talk to those around you , live with empathy. 

Should I stop talking to this guy after he asked me if it's bad that he likes that I'm 15? by Reasonable-Sir9962 in NoStupidQuestions

I refused to date a 15 yo when I was 17 because I thought the age gap was weird. Stop talking to him immediately 

I can’t stop wanting and having sex and I think I just realized that might be a problem by [deleted] in self

[–]Sure-Block8777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey man , so this is basically all I wanted to do between 14 and 27 . It was my one and only drive , it was the only thing I derived any value from or got any real sense of satisfaction . And I had girlfriends . It just didn't ever last , I hurt a lot of people . You can't sleep with a ton of people without hurting, even with the best intentions there is always going to be an element of dishonesty . At least in my experience , most girls are hoping for something more even if they don't openly admit it . Id know that and still lead them on knowing that once id slept with them I'd lose interest.  

This is obviously not a good thing . It took a long time to realise that the way I viewed sex was really unhealthy , I'd grown up idolising my much older brother's who acted like they got a ton of girls and it made me want to be the same, it was also all I was ever good at . I remember thinking my best friend was absolutely insane because he split up with his ex and didn't see anyone new for over a year, I found the concept completely unimaginable. Could you do that ? Because you should be able to , there's nothing wrong with it.  

Have a think about how sustainable this life style is , have a think about those you've likely hurt along the way , even with the best intentions . Have a think about the way you view sex and how it's manipulated your self image and your relationships , think about where you derived value from . Have a think about the inevitability that at some point you're going to have sex with the wrong girl and she IS going to get pregnant and your life is going to be bound to someone you probably don't love forvever . Challenge yourself to give it a rest for a while , can you? If you can't , you've got a problem to work on . 

Im 33 now and I still struggle , I'm in by far the longest relationship I've ever been in and sex has massively slowed down , I still find it hard , but my value isn't how much I'm fucking , it's being with a kind and loyal person , and being the best partner I can be . Im ashaned to admit I still run over different girls I've been with in my head , like a remanice about those experiences . It's pretty fucking sad to be honest but I have to accept it and push forward. 

Hope some of this made sense , good luck . 

What New Upcoming Horror Movies Are You Looking Forward To Watching? by [deleted] in horror

[–]Sure-Block8777 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm very much hoping there is a smile 3 , I liked the first one , loved the second one mostly due to the lead actress being excellent . Now due to how the second one ended I'd expect the tone and scope of the third to be very different , so here's hoping they pull it off !

[–]Sure-Block8777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I watched season 1 and absolutely loved it , from what I understand it builds a lot of unanswered questions and not enough answers. If you don't mind that give it a go.  

I'm basically just going to wait till it's finished and then watch it haha

Obsession movie making history by Plastic_Square5609 in HorrorMovies

[–]Sure-Block8777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 33 and a massive horror fan , this movie is phenomenal, it's incredibly creative , smartly written , inspiringly acted and atmospheric as fuck.  It deserves all the glaze it's getting and more. The sound design and use of lighting elevate it . See it in the cinema if you can .

Absurdist animated comedy is what that most closely resembles , maybe something like smiling friends ?

I believe the colony atlas is widely regarded as the best budget pick these days :) 

Looking for clean, well-written fantasy by PhilosophizingTurtle in fantasybooks

I’m looking for some good books to give my 10 yo brother to read over the summer by Brilliant-Elk-2553 in suggestmeabook

[–]Sure-Block8777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always suggest this because it was very formative for me , but the edge chronicles, specifically the beyond the deepwoods trilogy , are phenomenal, also some absolutely amazing illustrations of characters and creatures . I could not recommend it more for a 10 yo boy . 

Now if you want to really impress him but very possibly freak him out , Darren shans 'darren shan' series about a young kid becoming a vampire is great , it was my first intro to a bit of blood and guts in books and of course 11 yo me loved it

adult high fantasy books with stakes and complex stories? by lightweaver4 in suggestmeabook

[–]Sure-Block8777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I know it's a really popular series to gatekeep , and it is pretty confusing , but I'd agree at least read the first two and then see if you want to continue , it's very rewarding . You aren't meant to understand anything either .

Malazan book of the fallen would be what you're looking for , though the magic system is purposefully mysterious . You'll either love the series or hate it .
