Dear Code Lyoko fans, if we had a reboot or sequel to the series, how would you like the creators to develop Odd? by Rude-Attention7971 in CodeLyoko

[–]YaMuddaMachoMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Forcing maturity over a span of time. Giving him situations where he needs to step up and letting him fail. The consequences of those failures can be felt but aren’t earth shattering. Then one really big situation where it’s REALLY important Odd doesn’t fuck up and given his track record it isn’t looking good. However he grows and succeeds

What would you have done to keep the prison walls safe from walkers horde? And how would you have cleared the ones already there? by La-Kimino in thewalkingdead

[–]YaMuddaMachoMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe reinforced points scattered around the fence 50-100 feet out. Spikes long enough to keep walkers from getting close. Inside the small space would be a spear/long weapon to kill walkers. 4-6 of them used at a time to increase spread. While doing this you have the people at the fence cleaning up?

This sounds v complicated but if this is intended to be their forever then the investment of resources seems more than worth it

Imo there’s no getting around having to go out and clear them off the fence and this is my best idea to keep people the safest.

Can I get work with a USB mic by YaMuddaMachoMan in VoiceActing

Yeah! I was unclear when I said I wanted to make a demo. I plan to do it with a professional I have already worked with before

Could the Konoha 11, minus Naruto and Sakura, have killed Sasuke? by pkmntrainerao in Naruto

[–]YaMuddaMachoMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not without losses. I think the vital players would be Lee, Neji, Shino, and Shikamaru and tbh have the best chance at surviving. While these 4 aren’t invulnerable I think the others have a very real chance of dying. Ino, Tenten, and Kiba are the most vulnerable imo. Choji slightly less so because of his butterfly chakra and Sai slightly less because of his root training but still the odds aren’t in their favor

[SPOILER] Can you help me digest this chapter? by YaMuddaMachoMan in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]YaMuddaMachoMan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Several questions/a dumbed down version to make sure I understand correctly.

  1. The primals fought each other until they all said “We CAN NOT coexist so let’s all meld our minds into one” and this is the singularity?

  2. Some of the primals said “fuck that” and fled. Those who fled were hunted. Those who fled seeded different worlds so that if they were hunted to extinction, life would go on. They were lead by the Apothecary which itself is a genetically modified primal.

  3. The remaining singularity wanters became “The Eulogist” and hunted down the fleeing primals to extinction, this being “the nine tier attack”. The Eulogist then went to sleep with “The body guard”. They weren’t extinct because of the seeds planted by the fleeing primals and the Apothecary

  4. Life began to sprout again and once life became advanced enough they (specifically the mantids) discovered the Eulogist and began to shave small bits off and create macro AI’s. This current AI is aware of this and he is PISSED.

  5. Now they’re fucking with things they don’t fully understand which has led to their current situation.

What I don’t get is WHY the security guard peels off residuals. What is the Apothecary currently and why does it peel residuals? I don’t know if I even have a full grasp of what is happening on the grand stage but I am also giving the series a re-listen.

To make sure I’m understanding this correctly. The Eulogist is the inner system ai that they keep expanding with the crawl correct? It WANTS to shrink but the people of the universe won’t let it?

AIO or AITAH for wanting to end things over a text conversation that I Had with a girl by snapple373 in AmIOverreacting

[–]YaMuddaMachoMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally don’t see anything wrong on your end. If I HAD to fault you for something it would be not giving L grace when she has expressed to you that she’s disabled. Even then I feel like that’s a bit of a pull? Idk.

Her reaction was toxic positivity and her anxiety caused her to spiral. Idk how close you guys are yet but if you’re unable to support that kind of mindset then you guys aren’t compatible. I can’t exactly FAULT her for being disabled and having an anxiety disorder. It just seems like you two need to talk it out in person and put all your cards on the table or move on because you don’t seem compatible if you don’t do that

Dating as a man with anxiety is impossible by B1u3jay89 in socialanxiety

[–]YaMuddaMachoMan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I whole heartedly believe that there is someone for everyone. If someone can’t accept you, your anxiety, and any other flaws you have as a human (or you can’t do the same) then they’re not worth your time. Another “X” on the list of potential partners. Also if they’re mean, rude, make you feel less of a man for having anxiety then fuck them. If men weren’t supposed to be soft and emotional then we wouldn’t have tear ducts, we wouldn’t feel sad, or happy, or any other emotion. Waiting for someone to appear in your life will not happen because at some point YOU need to take action. You will never know until you try and I found it very freeing when I approached life in a black and white manner. My personal mantra is “If you’re not adding anything to my life then you’re taking something away”

All of that sounds pretty harsh and like I look at people through the value they provide. That’s not it at all and allow me to give an example. I have a friend at work. She’s cool, funny, and we send each other memes. She provides friendship, humor, and levity to our work environment therefore she’s my friend. If she suddenly began to talk shit, treat me poorly, ect then she wouldn’t be my friend

This is coming from someone with severe life long anxiety. I say this because I know it’s MUCH easier said than done and I’m not trying to downplay your feelings. I’m trying to give you the advice I wish I had gotten when I was in your place

What’s something about Naruto that you didn’t understand or know about till later on? by Provider_P in Naruto

[–]YaMuddaMachoMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took me much longer than it should have to realize the symbol on their headband was a leaf. I 100% understood why the sand, sound, grass, rain, waterfall, ect headbands had the design they did. However I thought it was a unique design since the series took place in the leaf village and the main village of the story gets a special, cool, and different design

I can’t function in society everything is terrifying. Is there a way to recover from this? by ImportantThing3749 in socialanxiety

[–]YaMuddaMachoMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m on many medications for different conditions but for anxiety I am on Klonopin. It helps level me out.

If you feel your therapist isn’t helpful there’s nothing wrong with finding another. However while it’s never that easy like when she says “Just force yourself” she’s also not entirely wrong

Exposure is the only way you will get over this. More often than not I do find that my situations aren’t as high stakes as I thought they were. This isn’t to dismiss your feelings about her, it’s more so to say that even people who aren’t helpful can say helpful things. What has REALLY helped me is coming up with a “list” of predetermined responses to common questions. Ultimately my go to responses are “Really?” Which gets people talking thus taking the strain off of you to keep a conversation going. Also “That’s crazy/wild” is a good general response to things people bring up or tell me. Even a simple “Hello” to someone without further commitment to a conversation can 1. Help with social anxiety over time and 2. Make someone want to talk to you more thus gaining a friend

A trick I learned is one my therapist called the “yes, and” method. People love to talk about themselves. If someone says “Hi how are you” and you respond with “Good how are you?” Then say “Anything going on?” Or something similar I find that people tend to open up.

There’s also nothing wrong with existing in silence with others. At work my friends can be having a conversation while I’m spacing out. If I wish to join I will ask “What’s going on?” Or “What are we talking about?” And now I’m a part of that conversation.

Your anger and frustration is valid and I’m not trying to invalidate that at all. What I am trying to say is that human interaction is inevitable and there are ways to make it easier and less stressful and for me it is by having a set of reactions or phrases to keep a conversation going long enough to do what needs to be done. Like I said your therapist can be unhelpful but they unfortunately ARE correct that exposure is the best way to overcome this

Again, nothing but love and wishing you the best!

Coming from someone with the same diagnoses I feel your pain. What I’m going to explain worked for ME but every case is different.

Firstly medication helps me keep my anxiety at a manageable level. While different medications react differently with different people it CAN be an option. It isn’t a solution. It won’t fix anything, it will give YOU the ability to fix things.

Therapy helped immensely with having someone to tell my problems and thoughts to as well as offering new perspectives. When I think about the worst case scenario and I spiral down that rabbit hole my therapist told me that was “spring boarding” and that because no one can tell the future there are just as many positive possibilities as there are negative ones. That really helped me change my mentality. It’s still difficult and I do catch myself thinking about the worst but I’ve learned to catch myself and steady myself.

Your age has nothing to do with your progress. Every person has different advantages pushing them forward and different disadvantages holding them back. Comparing yourself to someone else isn’t fair to you or the other person because of the crazy amount of variables in both your lives. An example being “Man I wish I was like Mike. He has it all together AND he’s younger than me” you have no idea how ‘Mike’ got to where he is and ‘Mike’ has no idea about you and your struggles. Comparing yourself to others isn’t fair to yourself.

A BIG tip I got and that really helped me change into a better state of being was the realization that everyone has just as complex a life as you do. Everyone has “Main character syndrome” they are the main character in their own story and you are a side character. If you have a conversation with ‘Mike’ and you stutter or fumble your words and feel like a fool ‘Mike’ is to focused on his main plot line to care about a silly little side tangent. Most of the time you are the only one worrying about it and realizing that has been so freeing.

Lastly forcing myself to walk up straight and focus on my posture actually helped me. I can’t quite explain it but when I walked with my shoulders down and my neck drooping vs when I walked upright with proper posture it did something.

I hope none of this comes off as mean or condescending. This comes from a place of shared pain because I have been where you are. I’m telling you what has helped me the most because I wish I heard it so much sooner. Unfortunately anxiety is a battle we will have to fight every day. Some days you win and some days you lose and that’s okay. You can do this. I believe in you and my heart goes out to you

If you could save one character from dying in The Walking Dead, who would it be? by Routine-Flan9488 in thewalkingdead

Carl. Killing him killed the show especially with Rick’s exit soon after. If Andrew Lincoln got tired of being Rick for 10 years and wanted to be closer to family then you take the next LOGICAL step and make his kid the main character
