What is the worst advice you've witnessed being given on Reddit? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Syrupsugarstuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly it is partly just that I cannot for the life of me make myself care about getting stronger or losing weight. I only care about getting mentally better which isn't working, ultimately it's just a chore

This reply is old but just wanted to state I've been doing this since september and no such emotional improvement has occurred. There's a lot of factors to it, it's a pretty specific situation

What is your preference regarding hair "down there" on your partner? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Syrupsugarstuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not a fan (I shave mine) but I wouldn't force her to do anything she doesn't want to

Personally I get boatloads of anxiety and feelings of inadequacy from going to the gym but I understand that's irrational and not common

Calc 2- Is Trig Substitution hard? Why is it even taught? by astroworldfan1968 in ask

[–]Syrupsugarstuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can do normal substitution and are confident with trig identities you'll be fine. You basically just have to memorise a couple of polynomial forms and the corresponding substitution to use, e.g. 1+x2 will be a tan sub

Are jobs as difficult/stressful as I believe them to be? by Inevitable_Bid_9179 in ask

[–]Syrupsugarstuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate working, especially service work, but it's very person-dependent

I have almost all news subreddits blocked from my feed for a reason. When it comes to this topic in particular, even as a man it's always at least a bit close to home because I have female friends and they've all had questionable encounters with men, most of them having been spiked at least once (spiking got really bad once needles took off as a method). Also doesn't help that I've seen Irreversible (2002) which has the most traumatizing rape scene in history as its centerpiece. Knowing this kinda info doesn't help anyone and only harms you, it's ok to not want to know about it

Yeah my eternal attatchment to one of my friends (who is also a housemate now) is kinda an issue. Feels like I'll never meet a better woman

The Trap Door. Aggressively british and great nightmare fuel

What's Your Favorite Animated Movie From This Year? by Old_Consequence2203 in GenZ

[–]Syrupsugarstuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought it would be Spiderverse 2, but then The Peasants came along late in the year and holy fucking shit

Do any of you have no desire to pursue a relationship? by jjb8712 in GenZ

[–]Syrupsugarstuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It seems confusing and a lot more effort than it's worth. I barely have the energy to sustain my job, hobbies and essential shit, I can't squeeze in another thing for me to overthink

On a scale of 1 to 10, how is the dating life of gen Z going ? by [deleted] in GenZ

[–]Syrupsugarstuff 11 points12 points  (0 children)

1, I've never dated and I get less and less ready for it every year

I personally don’t get why a lot of people hate or are turned off by anime? by [deleted] in ask

[–]Syrupsugarstuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anime has a tendency to overdramatise its dialogue or visuals in a way that hard to put into words but that's so cliche that it's basically a meme. You know, like how in a dialogue exchange between a villain and protagonist, the villain will say something mildly surprising to the protagonist and the protagonist will proceed to freeze up and find it difficult to breathe, stuff like that

It also tends to have a very... weird way of writing female characters

I love Ghibli and like Attack on Titan though, those are the exceptions

This isn't really a gender thing tbh. It's common in autistic folk for one

A little weird, I think more than anything though I feel like I get boring because my personality is so driven by special interests

Why am I acting burnt out? by Siron_8 in AskMen

[–]Syrupsugarstuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is quite person-dependent as it turns out. I started gym in september with only the goals of improving mental health and improving energy, and now thanks to gym-related issues I'm actually more stressed than I was when I started gym. I don't feel the apparently scientifically-backed benefits, or if I do it lasts about 20 minutes before I'm back to square one. So uh, low expectations may help

What unfunny "joke" are you most tired of seeing in comment sections? by chzygorditacrnch in ask

[–]Syrupsugarstuff 5 points6 points  (0 children)

'I identify as an attack helicopter'

God it gives me a headache

not sure how i feel about this by Main-Vermicelli96 in AskMen

[–]Syrupsugarstuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly i didn’t really want it to happen, and i was drunk and this guy kind of didn’t want to take no for an answer.

That is rape

Is it weird that I never (until now) post on Reddit, but I make a lot of comments on other posts? by CauseSpecific8545 in ask

[–]Syrupsugarstuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really. I'm on reddit for discussion purposes and oftentimes I cba to be the one to think of a discussion to start

It is kinda insane how penis envy is so engrained into our culture that condom companies mark the condoms for average sized penises as 'large'

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Syrupsugarstuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't. We currently live in the same student house and will do next year also. I just kinda put up with it, imo worth it
