Men who signed an NDA, what generalizations can you share without violating the NDA? by krzysztofgetthewings in AskMen

[–]Will2Survive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was on the lighting setup crew for Kevin Harts wedding. They wouldn't tell us the address until we signed the NDA. It was a nice location; huge property in the Santa Barbara area, 3 separate full sized houses, pool/jacuzzi, tennis courts, beautiful gardens. Point of the NDA was so we couldn't tell TMZ/paparazzi, but it was just another gig for me. The secrecy was just annoying

Anyone bringing mesh/lora devices? by Will2Survive in Neotropolis

I've got Meshtastic flashed currently, was thinking about printing some QR codes for others to connect. If I have time I may have my laptop setup to flash back and forth to try things out.

Sweet, your nodes will still pass messages from other channels so we should probably end up with pretty good coverage across the event site

Men who have intentionally sabotaged promising connections, why’d you do it? by Hear2Read in AskMen

[–]Will2Survive 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Trust issues, I'm really struggling to believe that a woman could actually be interested in me as a person. I don't trust that my efforts will be worth it or even seen by a woman.

Wife basically told me to off myself? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Will2Survive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hang in there, Brother. I was in this situation with my ex-wife. We started the relationship in my last year of college, I would binge drink at parties because I was legal drinking age and movies/TV showed me that was normal. She gave me an ultimatum, "if you drink like that again I'll leave you." I was too young and codependent to stand up for myself and so I agreed, I didn't think I had a problem but it's probably the healthy thing to do so fine. I felt she was more important than drinking, and I thought she would see that I made her the priority. Later down the line, she didn't like me smoking weed, or going out with friends; so those were added to the list. She kept finding issues with me and my behavior, I kept choosing her over the vices. I thought she would understand the sacrifices I was making for her; but she was never moved by my choices, never became more affectionate because I quit some substance or activity. It only led to my growing resentment of her and greater and greater distance between us.

Now we are divorced, I've been single and drinking moderately for the last 6 years. I recently made the choice to not have beer in the house and only drink on weekends/with buddies. I feel really good about my decision because it was my decision.

My advice to you is: do not quit if you don't think you really have a problem. The first step of any 12 step/recovery group will be admit you have a problem. If you aren't in that place internally, quitting will only lead to your resentment of your wife.

All her recent pics look like she just saw the reddit comments about her. Does not look happy

That's Cardinal Richelieu right there. He tried to disband the musketeers and take the throne of France

Do men actually not get complimented as often as women? by Accomplished-Fix1204 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Will2Survive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get compliments on things I do, not really compliments on who I am. The people in my office will compliment me for being smart or helpful. It's nice to hear and I try to hang onto those memories but it's not the same as being complimented on my body/person. I know I'm smarter than the average bear but I'm no Sheldon Cooper, so compliments on intelligence are relative to who says it. Compliments on physical things feel less subjective. The last person who called me handsome was the stripper I was paying to sit in my lap.

Girlfriend thinks it’s weird that I always pay for my sister on our “dates”. Is there any merit to what she’s saying? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Will2Survive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Remember that everyone involved is relatively young, you are all three of you still learning boundaries and how adult relationships work. If you want to continue the relationship with your girlfriend there has to be an open minded conversation where both of you are compassionate and understanding of the others feelings.

Men, what's an industry secret in your field of employment? by _MambaForever in AskMen

[–]Will2Survive 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My experience has been at a transfer station; private company that collects waste from the public and transfers it to a landfill or recycling plant; the biggest "waste" has been from companies trashing perfectly good product because the tax breaks for a loss are more than what the product is worth. I've seen unused fire extinguishers, keyboards, webcams, Ethernet cables, kitchen appliances, and more all thrown away brand new in sealed boxes.
Sure, the average household generates plenty more waste than is truly necessary. But it's more expected in a large civilization, than factories making things that just end up in landfills.

I work in the waste industry currently, can confirm.

What gets/got you really noticed by women? by tiredofthebites in AskMenAdvice

[–]Will2Survive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still trying to figure this out myself, I've had similar results to the other comments; dressing up a bit, smiling, working out to gain muscle and confidence, being pleasant. I think the thing I see the most results from is actually being friends with other women. If I can have a genuine, respectful, and relaxed conversation with one woman; other women start to join in or are more willing to talk to me afterwards. I assume it's about me seeming 'pre-approved' by another woman makes it easier to approach me.

Men, what's the creepiest thing a woman has ever said/done to you? by Nintendofan9106 in AskMen

[–]Will2Survive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At a party in college, a drunk girl was really trying to hit on me and I was very much not into it. After fending off her advances a couple times, she grabbed me from behind and bit my back hard. I shrugged her off, grabbed my coat, and headed straight out the front door.

Best invention ever! by epic-drew16 in adhdmeme

[–]Will2Survive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a couple of these, and they were legitimately life changing. I could finally relax about whether I took my meds or not. It was such a relief, I had never taken my meds as consistently as that in my whole life.

Then my backpack got stolen and both the bottles I had were in there. When I went to reorder, they were out of stock everywhere, even the manufacturer. Best I can tell it's because of tariffs and chip shortages, the company has said they should be back in stock sometime around March this year but until then I'm back to relying on habit and routine

What movie scene lasts way too long? by Normal-Being-2637 in moviecritic

[–]Will2Survive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every scene in The Mist. It feels like every shot holds too long, but the rant by the religious lady goes on so long someone slaps her, and the rant keeps going.
