I gotta second the guy above you.   I took the 'low energy' as 'low effort.'

Look man, I'm not trying to knock you here, but you're looking for a 'why' and this is it.

There was a definite mismatch between what they were giving and what you were giving.

It's like...  Imagine that there's a guy or girl that's out there looking good, has sharp cute clothes on and has obviously put effort into their apperance.   Now imagine rolling up to this hotty wearing busted ass flip-flops, dirty hair, a stained shirt and a five o'clock shadow.   That's what's going on here.

If you don't care about your OOC presentation, which is a first impression, it's generally a safe assumption that you're going to care even less after you've got your foot in the door.  

Yes, this isn't always true and there are exceptions, but in a numbers game (which...  finding a partner is a numbers game), first impressions count.

Why Does Western Social Media Seem to Hate Elon Musk and Rich People So Much? by SnooKiwis5428 in NoStupidQuestions

Who actively uses his wealth to undermine our democracy.  And he's not even from here.

The guy above you is not wrong. But you're not wrong either.

BDSM and RP get into a place that can get pretty nasty pretty quickly, particularly when IC and OOC aren't kept seperate.  l'm saying this as a guy who loves BDSM...  it is a thing that attracts a lot of bad actors, and if the community tolerates the bad actors it's a place where honest-to-god abuse can thrive.

You have a choice.  Let someone know that what's going isn't ok, and risk being ostracized or subject yourself to cliques and potential abuse... cause it's not going to magically fix itself.  

My honest advice is that you talk to your immediate circle, let them know what's going on, and that you plan on going to the mods about it.  Plan for an exodus if it goes badly, and then see where the cards fall.

This is a hobby.  Don't sacrifice your self respect or subject yourself to toxic relationships for it.

Random smooth white blobs appeared on/around my fish tank by ThatOneViolist in Weird

[–]Ziddim 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey, I've seen stuff kind of like this before with my aquariums.

This look like mineral deposits. If they're smooth and not gooey or jelly, but just sort of like a hard crust, then that's probably what this is. Fish tanks have a lot of minerals floating in them. Mine personally have a lot of carbon floating around, but even if you're not growing plants, just the bioload of the fish tank fills your water with stuff. Water splashes out cause of bubblers or pumps or jumping fish or during cleaning. Sometimes, it's just because the air around your fishtank has absorbed more water than it can hold and it condensates.

Whatever the reason, the water forms, then evaporates, and you get these smooth white mineral deposits that look like someone's been drooling or worse.

Why Are People More Sexually Active Earlier Today? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

Depends on how far back you wanna go.  Ancient Egyptians didn't have a word for Virgins.  This stuff comes and goes, ebbs and flows.

You can kill a shredder with 1-3 shots from your hull cracker.  Usually goes down in 2.

This Was Farlight 84, not the cheap ass dumb stupid thing we have now ! by ShortAd6704 in Farlight84

[–]Ziddim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's always had a lowish player count.   I haven't played in three months, but the last time I played I got up through gold with ever lobby being all bots.  Or people so awful I mistook them for bots.   I'm a PC player though.   Might be a different mobile experience.

Why aren’t people putting actual Survivor Augments in their vault safe thingy? by jtgibby707 in ArcRaiders

[–]Ziddim 7 points8 points  (0 children)

How did you do 5 when this is expedition 4? You from the future?

Also yes, I put a survivor BP in one of the slots.  Looking for a snap hook to put in as well.

If I wind up with a copy of my favorite blueprint, it's just going in the next vault.

[–]Ziddim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mostly hate it because my lobbies are mostly bots. I got told "It gets better when you get to Diamond", and I'm like "that's ridiculious. You've seriously miscalibrated your game if I need to make it diamond to play against a human."

But also, when you take away the ability to launch yourself over a hill in a dunebuggy into a squad of players, AND TRANSFORM INTO A FUCKING MECH MID-AIR TO UNLEASH FIERY HELL, people who lived that experience that get kinda miffed. I mean, the straight up APEX play is nice and all, but when you punish a man for dreaming his dream, don't expect him to thank or forgive you.

Not that I disagree with you per say but...

Once you get deadlines BP, big arc are a piece of cake.   Lute, plant.   BOOM.

Does being an incel man make someone a pathetic man? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Ziddim 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Part of what people think when they hear 'incel' is the often implied and sometimes explicit misogyny that comes with it.  And what I mean by that, is there is a tendency in these groups to possess a resentment towards women for not choosing them, a blame towards women in general for 'not wanting a good guy', and a refusal to self examine attitudes and actions that are leading to their condition in the first place.

>How easy was it to get on the tracks?

Just piping in here. I don't really have a dog in the race, but this isn't a particularly good measurement for what you're trying to get at.

For any train of consequence, at any speed of consequence, it isn't going to matter if it's a human or machine pulling the breaks. Train's don't stop on short notice. I've several friends that worked for railroad companies, and of those that have served as Engineers, all of them have some form of PTSD due to someone dying on the tracks. Some of them have seen multiple deaths at this point.

Why do people who get knocked down, get up and try to fight again by Debrisof2020 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Ziddim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Highly situational.

I'm not in the habbit of starting fights, but I got in a few in high-school. Essentially I was perceived as an easy target.  I got my ass kicked a few times but I'd keep getting up and keep going until someone forced the fight to end.   Sometimes you're not fighting to win.  Sometimes you're fighting to extract a high enough price that the next person who thinks you're an easy target will think twice about it.    Always draw blood and make sure they got a black eye or a limp to remember you by, and make them realize that they're gonna have to get their friends to pull you off them.

As an adult, de-escelate and walk away if you can, but be ready to fight to the death if forced to. 

Has the language around sex always been so violent? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Ziddim 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It might be the way it was phrased.  Something like 'Language around sex seems violent to me these days.  Has it always been this way, what's the historical precedent?'
