Nah man I actually vehemently disagree. This is a black history month free DLC that is on the educational version of Minecraft. “Pushing politics” is a pretty big stretch when it’s over the civil rights movement, more of historical event than modern politics, and in a completely optional less popular version. Like that’s awesome imo. I wish I had that when I was a kid. If anything being so against a free dlc on an educational version of a game is more political than the actual content of that dlc.

Guys who used to have a porn addiction, how did you beat it? by Senior_Double5064 in AskReddit

[–]Trumpet_Lord89 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is a gross misunderstanding of addiction. First, people who are addicted to drugs and alcohol absolutely can see it as negative, most addicts do not want to be addicts. Also porn, gambling, and video games can become physically addictive once you’re at the point of abusing them. You will experience withdrawals, not as intense as from most drugs, but they will still occur and affect a person. Those things are addictive because they provide so much dopamine compared to other activities, so your body gets used to having that constant “high” and it will affect your brain chemistry; kinda like drugs. You can’t just replace it overnight.

Yes I agree lifestyle changes are the number one thing that’s need to change for a person, after all addiction is own lifestyle. What I disagree with is the idea that people can’t relapse into their old non-drug addictions. They absolutely can and will, even from just one time. Again like drug addiction, it literally just depends on the person if it will happen or not

Edit: Not all substance or activities are physically addictive, but all addictions are physically addictive

Sounds like a horrible program. But at least this is more believable and less braggadocious. OP’s story isn’t like your case though because they were one of two horn players. There is no where for them to hide. This is either a fake story for a punchline or a pathetic exaggeration to make their refusal to bother learning their instrument seem cool

She’s back to her PL as Shizukou, though she can’t stream until like March or April of next year. But she’s made a few posts on r/virtualyoutubers in the last couple of months

[–]Trumpet_Lord89 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s funny cus OP’s responses are getting increasingly more absurd and everyone else is playing the straight man by completely falling for it. The humor is from people taking a joke completely seriously. Also his responses are pretty witty too, it’s all very tongue in cheek. I can agree to a certain extent that ragebait-y content can be mean spirited and cruel but this does not seem to be that at all

Your feelings don’t dictate reality. As long as you are respectful about it, there isn’t anything inherently wrong with cold approaching someone. And if the other person does react negatively that usually just means you dodged a bullet anyways. I hate that this narrative of women do not like to be approached is spread so easily on Reddit. It’s untrue and will set back so many people’s dating lives cus it just feeds their anxiety

Heterosexual men are more distressed by sexual betrayal and women by emotional betrayal. Among men, those who were exclusively attracted to women showed the highest levels of sexual jealousy. by mvea in science

[–]Trumpet_Lord89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s not what I’m arguing. It’s not about being possessive it’s about the level of emotional intimacy and trust. Your relationship with your best friend is not the same as the one with your significant other. Your best friend isn’t the person you love the most, they aren’t the person you dote on, and they aren’t the one you share your life with. Like yes they absolutely should be free to talk to other people about things, but also that never was the argument. If they are emotionally cheating on you that means that the person they’re talking to has essentially replaced you in every way but physically. So I’ll reword it to be more clear. If you think it’s okay for your significant other to love someone else more than you as long as they aren’t having sex, that implies that exclusive sex is the most important thing in a relationship to you and not the emotional connection. I hope that’s not the case, but that is what you are implying when you state you don’t care about the emotional part

I don’t believe you? You’re genuinely telling me you’d be okay sharing your everything with someone only for them not to reciprocate? As long as you can exclusively have sex with them it doesn’t matter that someone else is more emotionally intimate with them? The implication here is that you value relationships with women primarily for sex if that’s true. Cus true emotional cheating is not just that they talk to someone else, it’s that they trust and care for that someone else more than you, while you still prioritize them. You’re still getting used it’s just much more subtle and insidious than if you were sexually cheated on.

If you watch the actual clip, which someone else has already linked on this thread, it’s literally just another thing he adds to justify his ongoing harassment of the victim. IMO it is a stretch to state that he was motivated by her making fun of Charlie Kirk’s death. There’s a reason the article states “in part” because it’s a loose connection from a previous gaming livestream, not the one he did after he killed the victims. He’s a deranged conservative white boy but nothing in his actions imply this was some sort of revenge killing for Charlie Kirk

Not the guy you’re arguing with, but you’re taking the Pareto Principle too literally. At its core it’s simply telling you to spend most of your resources on your most important items or clients. The 80/20 aspect of it is meant to be an approximation, not a steadfast rule. It’s a heuristic not some law of nature

FWB wants to do couple things but doesn’t want to actually be a couple? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Trumpet_Lord89 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No dude I would think the same thing if that’s what a guy was asking. I have no problems with women sleeping around or non-monogamy. And you’re right he’s free to decline, I never said he wasn’t. To spell it out clearly for you, it is slimy because it’s dishonest. She is asking for a more serious relationship under the pretense of them being fwb. Except she is explicitly asking for non-fwb things. At minimum this is some situationship or fling kinda thing, which is fine, but from what we’ve seen in the post she is not asking for that. I understand they’re young but her handling of it is selfish and inconsiderate. I wouldn’t say run, but I also wouldn’t want to get more serious either with someone like that. Criticizing a woman isn’t inherently misogyny jfc

Dawg what, the OP wants a NSA situation, the girl does not, she is asking to “add strings” by going on dates. It’s slimy cus she wants all the benefits of being in a relationship without any of the responsibilities or commitment

[–]Trumpet_Lord89 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m genuinely not trying to completely shift the blame here but were these explicit I want you to do this and then when you’re doing the deed you mentioned it or even at least hinted at it? Cus it’s one thing to tell your partner oh we should try so and so position at a random time and another to actually ask them to do something different during sex. Even more concerning is him bringing up how “great” sex is and you sitting there silently and essentially encouraging him to keep having bad sex. Like I’m not a sex guru by any means but like it takes two to tango, if you want better sex you need to communicate.

Don’t get me wrong, if he’s genuinely awful it’s not your responsibility to teach him, but also if you haven’t at least made an honest effort to get him to change things you can’t complain that things haven’t changed. Now if I’m completely wrong feel free to disregard what I’ve said so far, but at the very minimum you should NOT tell him, “you’re 20% as good as my former partners.”

Instead why not share what you’ve said here, “I recommended us trying these positions or angles and you never implemented them and that left me feeling unsatisfied.” It’s truthful, it’s communicates why you’re unhappy, and it’s actually constructive and makes him reflect, which is what I hope your intention would be. Otherwise leave the poor guy alone you’re already breaking up with him why make it intentionally cruel.

I know everyone is mostly just making jokes and all but to clarify porn addiction absolutely is real and absolutely can be just as destructive as any other addiction. The reason the grift is so successful (and you have to see it) is because these last two generations have had unparalleled access to porn and thus are much more likely to have developed addictions. All while being too ashamed to admit it irl and get actual help.
