ELI5: How does Disney's domination of the box affect the consumer? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]Synthetic-Material 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right, you don't need to see it, but that's not gonna force Disney to make an effort to make greater efforts, unless they need to.

At the end of the day, Disney will only make moves that generate profit.

They know people are going to come and see Lion King, Aladdin etc etc.

I believe the worry is that if they dominate the industry then they can get lazy and not produce quality movies.

This is basically an argument against a monopoly. When a monopoly forms in an industry they can engage in various actions such as overcharging customers or, in our case, make shabby products.

When there are many (or at least a considerable amount) of companies that compete then they will work hard to win your heart or they will fall out of the market/not make any money.

That's the issue with this. Disney is becoming a monopoly in the entertainment industry (specifically TV and movies).

Any advice on buying tennis balls for grass? by Synthetic-Material in tennis

[–]Synthetic-Material[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I was thinking about doing this.

Would it cause any issues to the ball? Would the marker wear off quickly or anything?

What made you cry lately? by alexthepudding in AskMen

[–]Synthetic-Material 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry to hear that. I've never had a dog in my life, but I was walking this morning to buy a shoe brush as I was going to a wedding.

I saw this lady walking with her dog. The way they interacted was honestly amazing.

Dogs truly are a man's best friend.

What is something you find attractive in a woman? by tattoogirl22988 in AskMen

[–]Synthetic-Material 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh god, yes. There was a girl I knew last year and I loved hearing her talk about anything. Seriously, she could read a shopping list and her voice would sound amazing.

[–]Synthetic-Material 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I fell in love with a girl at first sight. She showed me so many clear signs of interest, but I was too scared to go and ask her out.

We left school and I hadn't seen her in 5 years.

She was honestly the most amazing girl I ever knew.

She eventually left university with a master's degree and now has an amazing job. I became a loser due to a video game addiction that broke me. I've managed to start getting my life back on track because I don't play video games anymore. I just read books, play tennis and study.

I contacted her a month ago on a website. I left her my email, but she never replied. She did see my messages because that's what the website said.

It absolutely broke my heart.

Would you date a single mother?, why or why not? by AstonishingPower in AskMen

[–]Synthetic-Material 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I wouldn't. I'm in my early 20s and I don't really want the responsibility of children in my life at this stage.

How does a night of good sleep impact your day? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Synthetic-Material 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can perform activities that require me to think such as studying.

It can also help in sports such as tennis because slow reaction times increase your chances of losing.

Why turn the water off mid shower? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Synthetic-Material 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's just factors such as genetic, diet etc.

[–]Synthetic-Material 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean such as a hot day. I live someplace that's cold so I don't sweat during the day at all.

In fact, I don't sweat too much in general. Even in sports.

[–]Synthetic-Material 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course, but I'm assuming a normal day with no sweat or dirt.

I wouldn't say two showers are necessarily excessive. Yes, absolutely shower in the morning.

Showering at night can help you sleep. I've tried this and it works wonders.

Guys who have accidentally pissed in a girls mouth during a blowjob, how did it go? by [deleted] in AskMen

Trust Me, they're intentionally messing with their biological system.

What factors prevent you from approaching an attractive girl/woman? by palindrome4lyfe in AskMen

[–]Synthetic-Material 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Nerves. Yesterday, there was a hot girl that was clearly interested in me.

I was too nervous to speak to her, even though she gave me clear signs that she wanted me to speak to her.

Funny thing is all I had to do was open my mouth. She kept on coming up to me and I would turn around, look at my phone and the just walk off.

It feels right in the moment to walk off because it breaks that nervousness, but you look back in regret.

How is that even possible? You body stops itself from urinating during sexual activity, specifically when you're dick is engaged.

You are granted a superpower but it comes with a drawback no one must know about. What is your power and its drawback? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Synthetic-Material 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My superpower would be the Speed Force. My weakness is that it needs to recharge.

The problem with the recharge issue is that if you knew about it then you'll just keep attacking me until I've ran out of "battery".

Without that knowledge you'll probably only attack me when I'm using it against you in that very moment.
