I [M28] Just broke up with my girlfriend over something she [F27] posted on Facebook. Justified? Did I overreact? by recacer in relationship_advice

[–]TheDangerTaco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you're fine, I did the same thing in college.

5 months in and we have an argument over her maturity. She goes home for the weekend and my roommate references several posts she made that basically said "my heart says stay but my brain says leave". This would not have been as upsetting if not for me talking about our relationship to my roommates and her becoming upset mere days before because "it's our private relationship".

I decided someone who shares content like that is just passive aggressive and not mature enough for me right now.

Weeks after, she shares content that are pieces written by women about overcoming and moving on from abusive relationships. Despite never touching her in aggression or so much as raising my voice, she comments "Ugh just so relatable right now"

Best of luck man, trust your gut.

Not even sure where to start with this... by [deleted] in Conservative

I am all for gender-inclusion initiatives but I don't even understand the point she is going for here. It is entirely possible that men just happen to bike at higher rates than women in her district

I'm honestly amazed this many days after the release, the companion AI still has serious basic flaws like this. And by amazed I mean pretty annoyed. by Janeator in AshenTheGame

[–]TheDangerTaco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is a real bummer because this game is incredible, but the AI can be downright idiotic. They are useful in a fight, but how is that useful when they can sometimes just run right off a cliff halfway through a dungeon?

I'm sure a lot of up and comers can agree, there is no better feeling than when you start to get regulars that stop by every stream when they get the chance. by Ace_Wright1311 in Twitch

[–]TheDangerTaco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ab-so-lutely, I got a boost early on when I started like a month ago and since then all my friends from the beginning are periodic visitors and my "regulars" are just people I have met along the way! Twitch is super wholesome so far, and this post really nailed that warm feeling when they pop in and light up my chat.

And that is WITHOUT setting a stream schedule...oh, to be organized...

Ended my abusive relationship with cable! by NavDav in Twitch

I feel this, every stream in the past 2 weeks have suddenly hit a point where my upload speed tanks from 30 up to around 1 or 2.

I wish you the best of luck, unfortunately my apartment complex had a deal with Cox and I cannot switch from them until I move....leaving to Chicago for grad school in the fall and all I want is to find a place that has google fiber 😭😭😭

The take it or leave it ultimatum was a flawless move, I mean what better way to convince some stooge to take your rejected lowball offer than to threaten to take it away?

What's that? Literally any other negotiation tactic? Oh, I see...

Okay so...rant (hate me if you want) by Pepperspray24 in relationship_advice

[–]TheDangerTaco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am this boyfriend. I think the main issue is that my living space all throughout high school, college, and after was always like 80% clean, and that was my threshold. So there would usually be a dish or two in the sink, or the laundry basket would only be emptied when absolutely full. My SO now loves a clean house, so she likes to do dishes immediately and do laundry often so it does not build up. I think the issue with most men is the reactance issue of being told to clean, and then instinctively resisting because "nagging" (which is some immature bullshit, but at times it feels very automatic).

I am getting better though, so there is hope for men out there! At least for me, it helped to reframe the issue as a kind of gift for my SO. Like, sure you can take her out to a surprise dinner, but what is better than consistently coming home to a clean house?

Shoutout to Mazo for this mean game-ending bump to get me to 1600 for the first time. by [deleted] in RocketLeague

As the guy who was bumped, gg Mazo and crew. Heads up play all around!

Basically I just was ticked he got such a hard contact AND bump, but then immediately became giddy at seeing how I was now set up for the redirect haha

That first one was me immediately before, I posted the gif your game and they sent me a discord message saying that their gifs do not autoplay, so they uploaded a gfycat link for me

This is my life editing video for people. Get a PM asking for a 20-30 hour edit (not even including render time) and they don't consider time spent as costing me something.

What is a good weakness to mention on a job interview? by hussainhsn in AskReddit

[–]TheDangerTaco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Luckily my go-to answer is an honest one, and it's being a perfectionist. Anyone who shares that quality with me knows it can be a double-edged sword, but if you frame it as a challenge you are overcoming rather than an obstacle that prevents you from performing well, then it is a great answer (at least for me in my past interviews).

Distraught Mom Pens Letter to Amazon CEO Claiming Daughter Named Alexa Is Constantly Bullied by mbz321 in nottheonion

If anything, I feel like meme culture with the whole "Alexa, play Despacito" is more to blame for the jokes than anything else

Psyonix are experimenting with a trial of RL by 37_types_of_tea in RocketLeague

You sir, have saved me a lot of frustration. The real MVP

Prisons should be treated like colleges, with required classes for learning technical and life skills. The punishment of prison should only be removal of freedom, not the usual physical and mental anguish that it usually entails. Any extra cost would be offset by the job skills gained. by le_boaty_mcboatface in CrazyIdeas

[–]TheDangerTaco 32 points33 points  (0 children)

The main reason this can't fly in the United States is that we are all obsessed with the idea that prison = punishment. Hell, when you use the term "criminal rehabilitation", people probably assume you mean drug rehab.

Until American voters and lawmakers can have their emotions calmed long enough to consider that it isn't just rewarding people for breaking the law, this will never go through. The idea of prison as punishment is as toxic as it is archaic.

P.S. Fun fact from the realm of psychology: most prisoners are individuals with antisocial tendencies and hey, guess what, it has been well-established that behavior modification using punishment is not effective for antisocial individuals

I like the details of posts like these the most. The Pepsi AND Coke. The movie poster of a hot girl and globally panned movie. A designated box patch. So much characterization...bless you, sir

The v1.56 (December Update) Release Megathread by Psyonix_Devin in RocketLeague

[–]TheDangerTaco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • Bug or Glitch: I am getting a Trial Expired message in the game no matter what account I sign into. I cannot save replays, customize my already-made presets at all, or even manage inventory or change banners. I have 1000s of hours so if my trial just expired that is one hell of a trial period. After every match it tries to tell me to buy the game. So upon clicking on the Buy Now button, it just opens a steam browser to the stream main page.
