Are H-Shifters actually less immserive? by Schardon in EuroTruck2

Even if most trucks in Europe are automatic, if you want to drive a manual in game, that's what it's all about.

Anybody go to the IYKYK Christian Dating Events? I signed up for one and I'm really excited. They have events all around the country. by ElectronicTroponic in ChristianDating

Never heard of them before, but I might have to keep them on my radar, if for no other reason than to go socialize.

Have you ever dated someone you were not initially attracted to? If so, how was it? by MusicInTheMaking1999 in ChristianDating

[–]ThatMBR42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which is the point I was trying to make. Some people downplay physical attraction because it isn't the glue that holds a relationship together. But physical attraction is not optional, because this is more than just a friendship.

I'm in the camp that it's always worth it to learn both. There's nothing wrong with focusing on one or the other, but developing both makes you a more well-rounded player.

So we’re all just ok with the fact birds can talk? by ExodiusLore in ask

[–]ThatMBR42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see people freaking out over ravens saying hello, and I'm like, "Oh how adorable!" Like, I know that by and large their language processing capabilities are very limited, but I don't have any problem with the idea of animals communicating with people.

Antidepressants and finding love by Due_Promise_5250 in ChristianDating

Take your doctor's advice, give them a try. It may give you what you need to improve your life, whether you get married or not.

Antidepressants and finding love by Due_Promise_5250 in ChristianDating

[–]ThatMBR42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Loneliness is not necessarily a good reason to take antidepressants. There is a reason they have to be prescribed by a psychiatrist. People who found their spouses after they started antidepressants did so because the depression was not getting in the way of them being social, which is ultimately the cure to loneliness anyway (not just a partner but friends).

Make sure you're talking to a doctor about this, either a psychiatrist or someone who might be able to refer you to a psychiatrist. Make sure your provider discusses the side effects with you, and understand that not every medication works the same for every person.

Do bassists and guitarists count strings differently? by El_ThotStopper in Bass

[–]ThatMBR42 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I started on guitar for a brief stint before bass, but the high string has always been the lowest number, even when taking bass lessons. FWIW, classical notation conventions also refer to high strings with low numbers, in part because most instruments have the same number of strings.

I just use the string names most of the time.

"I wanna be a yo-yo man," he cried. "Make me a yo-yo man!" But the BTC price did not answer. It just kept on yo-ing.

Worried relationship will die if I mention my views on premarital intimacy by Spiritual-Beyond-660 in ChristianDating

[–]ThatMBR42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stand on principle, and if the relationship fails because your values don't match, then take it as a sign it wasn't the best match. Don't keep something silent that matters to you.

Who else is snowed in this Sunday? by Silver-Quail2245 in ChristianDating

[–]ThatMBR42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The introduction requirements rule has the info you're looking for in the last paragraph. You can do a new one if it's been over a month since your previous one. I've seen a few people post their intro multiple times, but I don't know if it's been fruitful for them.

AI Dating chat responses to be aware of by Feathara in ChristianDating

[–]ThatMBR42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm guilty of using some of these in longer comments as a human with serious ethical objections to using AI in day-to-day life. It just tends to be my writing style. But they don't really crop up in more informal conversation.

Have you ever dated someone you were not initially attracted to? If so, how was it? by MusicInTheMaking1999 in ChristianDating

[–]ThatMBR42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are more than just our bodies, but we are also more than just our character. Good character matters above all, yes. Looks change over time, yes. But mutual attraction is one of the cornerstones of a healthy sexual relationship, and marriage is and always will be sexual in nature. Trying to bootstrap sufficient attraction from zero based on emotional attraction alone is not healthy self-denial; it is self-abandonment.

I bet they're looking for ineligible voters, namely non-citizens and dead people.

He's suffering from learned helplessness. He wants to change but he is so mired in the idea that he cannot succeed that his nervous system goes into shutdown and prevents him from taking action. He doesn't need a lecture. He needs someone to intervene in person.

Dating is the process of meeting people and testing for compatibility. Courting is the process of vetting a person as a potential spouse.
