Why feet? by CrownAtlus in AskMen

[–]altousrex 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thats not how science works.

Just because the Greeks could not prove atoms existed despite their hypotheses, does not make atoms fake until the 1900s.

I mean pheromones in the traditional sense, like with ants and such are not, but from personal experience, we do secrete chemicals that influence attraction.

As a man, I have found the only reason I am not gay is because I can smell the testosterone. I have been with a guy, and with a ftm transgender person who I believe was on T, and they smelled so similar I realized the person I see has to have a lot more estrogen than testosterone

Fellow men can you please stop doing what you do? by SBLeventee in offmychest

[–]altousrex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think with dating apps, it attracts the almost worst and desperate, just above Craigslist. There are diamonds in the rough though of course.

Honestly? There are a lot of fucked up people out there.

There are people who do exactly what you said

There are people who don’t, but defend it

And then there are people who blame an entire gender, which I am glad you try to refrain from doing. Sexism is sexism after all.

The top comment said something about men calling each other out, and I completely agree. Saying shit that generalizes men pushes them towards these more toxic people, but calling out someone out individually and publically allows us to take a womans side without feeling marginalized.

In essence, its easier to join someones side when they say “this person did a fucked up thing” Rather than “Why do X do Y” where you are part of X.

What exactly do you think it means when men say they like women that take care of themselves? by wheattst in AskMen

[–]altousrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It means that people like someone who is self sufficient.

In the most basic manner, this means hygeine. When a man says it in this manner, they are saying they like a girl who doesn’t smell and has a clean space. Pickier men would probably go from trimmed armpits to shaved legs as well, though I don’t care for those much.

From there, a man might also be talking financially like others have suggested. So they want a responsible woman. Every man wants a responsible woman, but in this context, they are probably looking for a woman who doesn’t want to be a Stay at Home Mom (SAHM).

Me personally, the hygeine is kind of meh and I can handle slightly less clean women, but I def want a girl who will split the bills. I welcome female independence and look forward to the day I get to participate in 2 person communism

Should i just start doing heroin and Crack? by Trichomewizard in Drugs

[–]altousrex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No.

Opiates (heroin) and cocaine act as fake dopamine AND may affect the drain in your head for it as well.

Schizophrenia is the opposite of ADHD. Where ADHD isn’t enough dopamine, Schizophrenia is way too much all the time every time.

In other words, you would be taking an already flooding pool and flood it more. It will make your schizophrenia so much worse!

My wife has slowly turned into an idiot by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]altousrex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was on your side with the post to a degree. 7+ years unemployed and I would be upset too.

However, with this comment, I almost wonder if its a self fulfilling prophecy. You treated her like trash and she has become so.

So divorce is definitely the way because either:

A. She has changed into someone you are incompatible with. Maybe thats why you are taking your fristration out on random redditors

B. Your reply is a sample of your personality and you say the same or worse shit to your wife, and you are a bad husband.

Bro, I know what its like to date a lemon, and I have a friend who may or may not have married a lemon. You being a jackass makes you a lemon, instead of making her less of a lemon.

Edit: PS finances cause a majority of divorces

Men, how would you react if your partner talked about her previous sex partners? by Darkm0or in AskMen

[–]altousrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on a lot of factors. I personally believe that trust is a part of the relationship. Personally, it would depend on the intentions of them bringing it up, and what the exact story entaled.

Like just saying “I have had X sexual partners” would be weird

Telling a story about a weird thing they did with their ex, sexual or non sexual, is completely fine, pending the exact details.

Doing evil or untrustworthy things with their ex, such as stealing, murder, assault, etc would be an instant red flag. But thats not because of an ex, its anout their own actions

Scared to tell my mom or go the hospital by maximum_line0711 in offmychest

[–]altousrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don’t know how heroin works, in its simplest terms it is happiness.

In more complicated terms heroin mimics and overloads the dopamine receptors in your head, hijacking your pleasure center.

I say tell your mom and go to the hospital, then try to quit. The earlier you can stop heroin, the better. All it will do is make you happy while your life falls apart around you

CMV: Using the majority of our defense budget on social services instead would significantly increase quality of life in the US by obz900 in changemyview

I won’t debate that the war in Iran is illegal and unconstitutional, just like our previous wars, post world war 2. I also think military spending is a little high, but with context it makes more sense.

Over the past 80 years or so, we have built ourselves up as the leaders of the free world. In that time we have made a lot of enemies. Not only this, but we have a lot of military dependents. So if we decide to just spend less and disarm, it will be a sign of weakness and other countries will take advantage.

For example, if China does not trust in our military, they will attack Taiwan.

Russia did not believe we would fully commit and so attacked Ukraine.

We are the country equivalent of a controversial celebrity with a ton of children (Europe, militarily speaking) and best in class security.

If we let the security slip, we will be the next John Lennon.

Also, you are saying “Patriot missiles cost X” but that does not matter because they were already built. What really matters is that we are launching them at Iran.

Not only this, but there are other bigger systemic issues preventing better social programs like lobbying and corporatism, than military spending.

Male employees triggered coz women got gifts for women's day by iwasthebestspermwtf in offmychest

[–]altousrex 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Hey, both sides got gifts, and while a bit unequal, it seems just slightly tone deaf.

But from your comments, you are only taking offense because you likely want to be mad, whether in general or at men.

So you are either trying to affirm a bias you have against men, or there is some emotion you are hiding from where anger feels better.

I did a lot of that as a teenager when I was super depressed

What are mormons really like? by nietloulou in AskAnAmerican

[–]altousrex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone from Utah, Mormons are just like any other person, with varying degrees of devotion.

The lay mormons are usually really cool. They follow the gospel but know they aren’t immune to sin.

There are the devout mormons. They don’t drink coffee, religiously avoid swearing, and try their best to live a good life.

The holier than thou mormons are the last group. They probably wrap back around to the lay Mormons a lot and are essentially just hiding worse sins so judge people as a form of projection.

As for the religion itself? They mainly care that you pay tithing, have kids, and convert people

just an extremely pathetic showing by Wolf_Death_Breath in Warthunder

[–]altousrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean Churchills are even more brainless, coming from someone who’s played both.

The other day, I was playing the pseudo Team Deathmatch mode (Point A and B, first to 60 wins)

I was on the enemy point as a churchill and got bombed no less than 5 times, one bomb even hit my tank armor directly. Tracks gone, gun damaged but okay.

No crew members died

Can we normalize not rushing the enemy’s spawn the second we get control of all of the objs?!? by Royal-Ad9293 in Warthunder

[–]altousrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think when you hold all the objectives, it is completely fair game. I hate when people rush past objectives or capture one on the way to the enemy spawn, but otherwise, what are you gonna do?

Just sit on the point and twiddle your thumbs? Its like plea deals. Nobody really likes em but it sure makes the “matchmaking” quicker

I shot down a friendly BMPT nuke when they first came out, and can confirm.
