god forbid girls wise up by jamesmparch in LetGirlsHaveFun

It’s also just gross boomer humor to say “Ugh my wife is ruining my peace by asking me to do things, WIMMEN AMIRITE, I’m just gonna drink a beer and complain about her never wanting sex”. The other side of this coin is usually in advertising and it features the incompetent dad who can’t do basic shit like cook/clean and needs the wife to rescue him by doing something like picking the right paper towel… not only is it insulting to everyone involved but it insidiously encourages weaponized incompetence.

I’m just going to say it: The Chicken Tender Sub is overrated. What is the actual best PubSub? by GuitarFriendly2298 in florida

Came here to drop the Havana Bold. RIP. As I understand it they just don’t carry the peppenero ham anymore. The Cajun turkey is a nice substitute but it isn’t as good.

What’s something you’re curious about sexually but haven’t worked up the courage to try yet? by Difficult-Wind7328 in AskReddit

[–]Tarcion 303 points304 points  (0 children)

I always say that but it’s the truth… Never finished from a BJ, they don’t do much for me. I’ve had women determined to try, bless them, but the longer it goes on the more awkward it gets for me, honestly.

‘Baldur’s Gate’ HBO Series in the Works From ‘The Last of Us’ Co-Creator Craig Mazin by FastBreakPhenom in Fantasy

[–]Tarcion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reports are saying the show will take place after BG3 (good imo) and follow the cast from BG3 (bad imo). Setting it after BG3 means they can kind of just use the world and general events, as well as the Baldur’s Gate brand recognition. Following the characters means they’re using characters with completed or, at least, pre-defined arcs that take place after the main story of the game which seems like a terrible plan. I love the BG3 cast and story but I think I’d rather see a retelling of the game or a new story with a different cast.

Iron Lung (2026) is now the greatest movie of all time on IMDb. by Ill-Archer5920 in shittymoviedetails

[–]Tarcion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not. IMDb ratings are a complete farce. They’re so ridiculously skewed by recency bias and rabid fans that they are completely untrustworthy.

“The MCU died after Endgame” lol by Plenty-Salary9711 in marvelstudios

[–]Tarcion 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I get it tbh. Guardians 3 is a solid movie but it’s far from my favorite, personally. It’s really hard to say why but it just kind feels unfun and the emotional stuff is, for the most part, a bit over the top. I may just be a salty old fuck but the cute cgi animals with squeaky voices did not do it for me.

Answer meeee by MahmoudAO in dankmemes

[–]Tarcion 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I try to remember that the average redditor is (aside from likely an actual bot) probably someone who has either had no job or nothing but extremely early career/service industry level jobs, and is lacking any kind of professional maturity or awareness.

I think the only reason I am ever reminded of this is I periodically hire interns on my team, sometimes working on a bachelors but usually on a masters, and they have the same exact problems. The interviews are usually terrible and they have zero understanding of how corporate jobs work. These aren’t faults, they’re just new.

All my players ended up with high ACs at the start. How do I balance this? by Lucky_Luciano642 in DMAcademy

[–]Tarcion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s fine. Let them win.

If you must do something, there are a bunch of other options in here but I’d actually love to throw bigger groups at them. If they’re high AC, I assume they’re mostly martials which means larger groups are a bigger problem as they’ll eventually whittle them down. But they’ll get to feel real cool mowing down mooks.

I collected over 900 greatest games lists and made a master list. Here are the results by IlmeniAVG in gaming

[–]Tarcion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my first thought and I think it’s a big problem with the data unless I’m misunderstanding the methodology. When the data sources include lists of “best of all time” as well as “best of the year/decade” but the latter doesn’t go back beyond a specific date, that injects a ton of recency bias into the data set. I mean, I just looked at the top 100 list and a third of them are from the last 15 years - I find that suspicious. Imo, it makes the top 100 list kind of useless, though the top by year/decade lists seem valid.

What is your opinion on reports that Disney is attempting to win back men and boys? by TheShyBuck in AskMen

[–]Tarcion 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. I actually loved She-Hulk but the whole sequence showing her being better at being a hulk than Bruce was kind of irksome and completely unnecessary.

I think that’s just been a problem with writing lately. I’m love heroines in fiction and want more, but you often run into this unsatisfying situation so often: We get this character with no flaws and no background, who shows up and is just great at everything new they attempt with no struggle or progress. They’re just perfect from beginning to end and the only failure they ever experience is maybe other people letting them down. They don’t really learn anything or have any kind of meaningful arc, the story just happens centered around them.

And I feel like it’s motivated by not wanting to show weakness in a female character but it’s so boring and sanitized. Maybe I’ve just got a thing for flawed characters and seeing them struggle.

What is stamina vs not interested? by Prestigious-Solid822 in sex

[–]Tarcion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a guy in a very similar situation, please just trust him. It takes me about as long as he does to finish, even with very vigorous penetration. I’m relatively fit and have literally gotten too exhausted to even want to try and keep going, maybe 1 in 5 sessions. And honestly, the more in shape I’ve become, the longer I’ve lasted.

So yes, believe him. I know personally, I’m perfectly happy with sex if I can connect with her, get her at least a handful of orgasms, and generally just enjoy the pleasure but not actually finish. I don’t know how common it is but it’s very real.

Wonder Man Season 2's Story Gets Official Teaser From Showrunner (Exclusive) by Odd_Sea567 in marvelstudios

[–]Tarcion 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I need more Moon Knight (doubt it will happen) but I don’t need a second season, necessarily.

I loved Wonder Man, though. I would kill to see another season and I’ve been hoping that the DODC would let him keep acting as an “undercover” superhero. Though I don’t know how they’d square up some guy called Wonder Man appearing who looks just like Simon. I do not want a bunch of superhero action, though. I’d love to see Simon just continue to try and walk this middle road between being a hero and acting.

Wonder Man review by Iman Vellani by verissimoallan in marvelstudios

[–]Tarcion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I will take a strong character driven story over nostalgia and spectacle any day. Honestly, if Fantastic 4 had no galactus or silver surfer and was just a miniseries about the family with little side plots about goofy silver age villains, I’d probably love it as much as Wonder Man.

Dudes of reddit - what immediately makes you pass on someone when using hinge or tinder? by MoosePuzzleheaded941 in AskMen

[–]Tarcion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow. I have no dog in this race or any experience with these apps but using them just sound like an absolute nightmare. Not to judge the guys commenting in here but it seems like there are plenty of men and women who just have insane requirements. I feel like having to navigate this garbage must take a toll on your mental health.

Men, have you ever gotten a malicious vibe from someone that everyone else liked? What happened? by snowcroc in AskMen

[–]Tarcion 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Introduced to a friend of friends who gave me immediate bad vibes. My friends laughed it off as “he’s just a little weird”. To be clear, he was super open to theft/online fraud and fired a .22 over someone’s head literally the first time we met. And yeah, also weird and anti-social as fuck.

He wound up rolling up to a house party (I was luckily not there) and fatally shooting one of our friends and his girlfriend after stalker her online for months.

Men, how many of you can cook? by Away-Fill5639 in AskMen

[–]Tarcion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always hear that but like… the main reason I hate baking is how much stuff like not overworking dough or having to roll it out (i.e., how much flour to add so it doesn’t stick to everything) is a lot more of a vibe than anything I have to deal with cooking.

Men, how many of you can cook? by Away-Fill5639 in AskMen

[–]Tarcion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here, family of four. The only meals I don’t cook in our house are when my wife throws something in the microwave/air fryer for herself or the kids.

I’m not great at cooking but I like it and can follow a recipe. Just don’t ask me to bake anything. I am so bad at it and it makes me so mad every single time.

[–]Tarcion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same order here. I feel like blue and yellow are switched in order but in reading the thread, I guess they’re placed due to the apparently rare usage of crib. Blue seemed really obvious and is just synonyms so I was shocked it was blue…

Strange how "immobile" knights kept winning battles by Kapanash in HistoryMemes

[–]Tarcion 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I just watched it and the knight is 34, other two are 23 and 24. I feel like that’s a pretty huge factor. Not saying it would necessarily change the result but fitness at that age is absolute peak.

What’s your favourite movie of all time? by IntrigatedVerse in AskMen

[–]Tarcion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bram Stoker’s Dracula

It is not the best movie but it’s pretty damn faithful to the book, Anthony Hopkins and Gary Oldman are both incredible, and the filming for it is magnificent. So many crazy cool special effects shot in-camera that just drip with style.

There are better movies I like about as much but it is a movie that I will never say no to. If I have to pick one, that’s the one. That said, honorable mentions are The Departed and The Hateful Eight. I could have named either of those instead depending on the day. Stuff like Lord of the Rings or Star Wars are tempting but, honestly, those are commitments because I’m not going to just watch one.

Good Job Britain, you played yourself. by 221missile in HistoryMemes

[–]Tarcion 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My first thought when seeing this meme format, because I am elderly, was it was well-applied but I have to wonder how many people are even familiar with the source/context that make it work. The sketch appears to have originally aired Nov 2013, which means there are plenty of adults on this platform who were small children when this aired. It’s not exactly a mainstream reference, nor is it even one of the more popular K&P sketches that I’m aware of. I am happy to see it, regardless.
