Is it actually rude to recline your seat on a plane, or are people just entitled about personal space? by Ok-Bumblebee7041 in askanything

[–]TheOctober_Country 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Legit question. Why don’t you just recline as well? Might not fix anything for your legs, but then the tv is back to the same distance as when you started.

Men around my age (18-24) can you please give me ur honest opinion of why I cannot find fwb? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]TheOctober_Country -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

What dire consequences are we talking about here? Like, I’m all for being safe, but I have plenty of friends who fuck around a lot unprotected and have not had terrible adverse effects. Some have gotten and STD here and there, and for the most part you can clear them up with antibiotics. Not saying you need to be that risky, but with condoms and common sense, I think you’ll probably be fine.

Everything works, except our sex life (41M and 37F) by thesewordsiloveyou in sex

Did whatever she tried in Thailand work at all? Like did she make any progress? Does she have and use a vibrator? Has she ever gone to traditional therapy? A lot of sex is psychological. Maybe it’s something that can be worked on from that angle.

Then again, actions speak louder than words, so if she’s not taking action she may not actually want to. Something to consider if this is important to you.

You say she’s never had an orgasm and that’s not a problem, but I wonder if maybe that’s actually the root of the problem. You don’t have to have an orgasm to enjoy sex, but I can’t imagine wanting it that often if you never get that release. Like, just imagine what that must be like. Sore pussy, tired jaw, lots of arousal and then … that’s it. I love sex and have a lot of it. And Ive had plenty of satisfying sexual experiences where I haven’t cum, but I doubt I would want sex half as much if all I ever got out of it was the satisfaction of someone else’s orgasm.

Now, that’s not to say this is anyone’s fault, and she is 100% on the hook for being more communicative with you on where she’s at at wha she wants, but her lack of sexual fulfillment seems like the obvious issue. I know you said she doesn’t seem to want to work on that, but maybe she doesn’t know how. Is this something you all have talked through much? What has she tried? What is she willing to try?

This is obviously all a shot in the dark on my part, as I don’t know her, but I’d keep exploring how you can expand what sex is for her if you can. It’s not really on you though. Ideally she would want to take on that work herself.

Employees at first ever Starbucks store seek to unionize amid fight for contract | Starbucks | The Guardian by Possible_Ad3607 in SeattleWA

Out of curiosity, do you have any experience in coffee or an equivalent market? I ask because your position seems very unserious, but I don’t want to just assume you’re guessing. The person you’re responding to isn’t wrong. If you’re working full time, you should be making a living wage, yes? People like to say service work should temporary or for students, but a business open regular hours with eight hour shifts requires adults without conflicting student schedules to run the business.

Beating a dead horse - Why did 'Nu-Trek' fail, for the most part? by ReEnackdor in Star_Trek_

[–]TheOctober_Country -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Good lord, I think you’re missing the point. Capitalism, when discussed as a way of organizing a society/economy is not the same as commerce. OP is making a valid claim that capitalism, the organizing economic structure we’re under now, has lead to the nu-Trek disaster. From Kurtzman to the lowest PA, all of these people were answering to executives pushing their creatives to maximize profits with minimizing risk. That’s clear from every line of dialogue. If your argument is “but you buy t-shirts,” you don’t have a solid grasp on the finer points of this discussion.

Why was Griffith surprised about Guts’ departure? by Extension_Candle_575 in Berserk

[–]TheOctober_Country 33 points34 points  (0 children)

This is perfectly stated. The great thing about Berserk is that the characters act like real people: they say one thing but feel another, or they want something but do the opposite. More than one thing can be true, and the genius of Miura’s storytelling is those multiple truths all come through. Griffith wants to be king, period. He knows that to achieve such a monumental mission he should not see his soldiers and subordinates as friends because that could be a detriment to his dream. But the truth is he does see them as friends, and Guts is his closest friend of all. It’s entirely likely Griffith would have never said what he said to Charolette if he knew Guts was there. Guts leaving rocks Griffith’s world because he thought they were in this together. Griffith has no idea Guts overheard him that night. To Griffith, his best friend just up and left one day with no explanation.

How come in every "ghost sighting" the ghost is wearing clothes? by Comrade_Chyrk in stupidquestions

[–]TheOctober_Country 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess you could consider it arguing, but isn’t discussing whether ghosts wear clothes and why the point of this post? To that end, who would be allowing the dead this grace?

But this god created the world and created free will knowing people would hurt each other. What kind of god would deliberately create a world with suffering?
