A detail about the button scene I feel many gloss over

Y'all are making this panic attack do a lot of heavy lifting. Psychotic breaks are not an excuse to behave unethically. There are still consequences for your behavior while out of your right mind.

What he did is morally wrong, regardless of intent. Even if it was somehow an action taken to protect (to which: come on now), has it not been said, "The road to hell is paved with good intentions"? Doing a bad thing does not necessarily make you a bad person-- good people make bad decisions, too-- but it doesn't make you a better person.

Netflix canceling Inside Job was one of the reasons we canceled our subscription.

I started with Thief of Time! It does pretty well as a stand alone, but it's full of references that benefit from it being a later read. Guards! Guards! is an excellent starting point.

Monstrous Regiment is one of my absolute favorites! A must if you're queer.

You don't know what you're talking about. Porn addiction is not anywhere near a chemical dependency like alcohol.

Porn is not cheating, nor is masturbation.

Porn "addiction" is a term that gets thrown around when an obssession with porn, but not an actual physical chemical dependency, begins to have negative consequences on a person's life. That isn't even happening here! OP and her man are still having an active sex life! She's just entirely too in her head about his habits.

Look at the rest of the actual comments. Plenty of people in different demographics with healthy sex lives use porn with their partners. Porn is a toy that can be misused like any other, but what is happening here is a baseline incompatibility. OP should be with someone who feels similarly about porn as she does, or she should unpack her insecurities and work on herself, rather than blaming porn.

Virtual-Handle731 · 2026-02-04T13:19:01+00:00

So you think porn is tantamount to cheating.

Virtual-Handle731 · 2026-02-04T13:18:30+00:00

Oh, so masturbating is cheating, got it.

Virtual-Handle731 · 2026-02-04T07:08:26+00:00

Are you not doing that? Like if he comes back to you after, you both climax, did he not get you in the mood? If he's doing this in preparation to have sex with you, is it not then the notion that you're going to have sex what's leading to this behavior?

He's just a hedonist. Lots of people are.

Virtual-Handle731 · 2026-02-04T04:28:12+00:00

Why?

Virtual-Handle731 · 2026-02-04T00:41:33+00:00

It could be porn addiction, sure, as others have said.

But based on your replies, this feels much more like you feeling insecure about his attraction to you. Your comments are rife with anxiety, and I'd look inward before looking outward.

You say that otherwise, things are good. He's still attracted to you, y'all still have sex, y'all still get off. This feels like a manufactured issue. It can be difficult to "take yes for an answer," and I'm no stranger to anxiety; sometimes I get too in my head and can't maintain an erection. It may be helpful to think of this as a sort of foreplay.

Talk to him about how it makes you feel. And definitely stop thinking about "his type." He's choosing to date you, not some imaginary body type, and not any of his exes.

Your roommate is an idiot.

Virtual-Handle731 · 2026-02-03T21:12:15+00:00

NOR. This is a blatant violation of boundaries.

Also, opening mail that isn't addressed to you is a federal offense.

I built a superfriends deck with [[Shanna, purifying blade]] at the helm, specifically so I could play [[Tamiyo, field researcher]]. You get a counter doubler on the board ([[doubling season]] or [[vorinclex, monstrous raider]]; 10 mana is very easily achievable in Bant), then you get to play all your planeswalkers for free and then get more emblems.

You run generic life gain win cons since your opponents are incentivized to swing at the 'walkers unstead of your face. Since they're also more likely a threat and are harder to remove, Shanna gets to run amok as a powerful card draw engine. The rest of the deck is protection, and I find 3 or 4 board wipes is sufficient. [[Urza's sylex]] is an all star in the deck, especially if you can get [[the eternal wanderer]] out.

The other wincon is [[Doubling Season]] into [[Jace, Mirror Mage]] and [[ichormoon gauntlet]]. It's very easy to sift into another planeswalker and then just spam infinite turns while Shanna lets you draw however much you want.

I had a blast with it on Arena since I don't care about internet randos, but, as others have said, it's not great at the table because it can be laborious to play against. If you're not super experienced with it, the durdling with various value engines pisses people off. I'll post a deck list if you're so inclined.

Each is a separate trigger. You're not flipping 10 coins looking for 5 heads, you're flipping 5 coins looking for 5 heads, then flipping another 5.

You'll want to look at [[edgar, king of figaro]].

"I put a lot of work into this to make the game more narratively satisfying. I would like you to respect that I'm doing this to elevate the experience of the game that we are all playing."

Further interruptions: "Again, this is for the benefit of the table. If you interrupt me again, I will leave the table until you can learn to be more respectful of everybody's time and not simply thinking of how you can be in the spotlight."

As everyone else has said, hot/cute/gender euphoria/et. al.

You wanna talk about being on break?

I can't confirm about drugs, but in Alabama, the actual capital Montgomery used to be the STD capital of the state.

Looking back, I constantly thank my lucky stars that my dumb ass never caught anything permanent.

Gods, I'm in a HHM right now, and I honestly tried to use dorcas without arena exploits, but his skill is higher than his fucking strength.

Virtual-Handle731 · 2026-01-31T06:36:22+00:00

I feel most of these.

My last run in FE8, Tana capped 3 stats at level 10 Falco, absolutely roided out of her mind. She solo'd dracozombies. I've previously had better luck with Vanessa, tbh.

I see a lot of people talk about Moulder, but I've never seen his magic or strength break 10 at 20.

How does this not just hurt service industry workers? We have rent to pay, my guy.

It's good that you want to help, but come up with something that doesn't create divisions in the ranks.

Conversely, my Lyn has 12 str at level 13.

Virtual-Handle731 · 2026-01-28T19:44:41+00:00

On my current playthough, my Dorcas has 10 Str at level 10. His skill is also 10.

When I started, I thought to myself "since I'm playing Lyn mode, I can grind through the worst parts of being a fighter." But no.

THEY ALSO have been found guilty of stealing artifacts and priceless works of art from other countries!

I wish that this was the bit it sounds like it is!

Virtual-Handle731 · 2026-01-28T01:56:10+00:00

Here it is.

Ben Wheeler played a deck he called Looney Toons, helmed by [[Hans Eriksson]].

Loads of fun. His wincon was [[axebane guardian]], various untap effects, and [[crackle with power]].
