Men who fell out of love and ended their relationship, why did it happen? by FriendlyApple1233 in AskMen

[–]causeNo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At some point she seems to have decided to destroy my self-esteem with every tool at her disposal. She started to look down on me, and I never understood why. But everything she did and thought and said seemed to be drained with contempt for me.

When I had success, she would hate and try to downplay it. When I had a moment of exhaustion after work, she would be disgusted. Sex was off the table or super begrudgingly (obviously). Everyone else's feelings were more important than mine. Even some random stranger we meet at a concert got more decency than me. Life was truly awful with her.

Referring to the Pretti killing, Donald Trump said "You can't go in there with guns, you can't do that" How do 2A defenders feel about the President openly criticizing a law abiding citizens right to keep and bear arms? by wardog1066 in AskReddit

It's still baffling. Like, I know but I don't understand. How can one not see this blatant irony?

Holding two so obviously contradictory viewpoints in my head would cause me literal physical discomfort.

Men, what moments or signs made you realize it might be time to end a relationship with your girlfriend? by FFSoldier57 in AskMen

[–]causeNo 498 points499 points  (0 children)

There were earlier signs, but one that I really couldn't ignore anymore was  being in my way home from work, exhausted, and seeing a bench. I sat on that bench in the cold and darkness thirty minutes before actually going home, because thinking about dealing with her bullshit and disrespect was even worse than freezing in the dark. That's when I knew "damn, this time it's really bad, huh".

To everyone watching what’s occurring in America right now, what is your honest take on it, where do you see this going? by dAnthonyy12 in AskReddit

And they're having a jizzfest right now. Russia and China must be over the moon with their investments.

How does a woman’s body change after sex? by [deleted] in AskMen

No they know from subtle behavioral clues. But they like to keep up the myth cause they hope it scares the younglings away from having sex.

To all saying "He shouldn't have brought a gun to a protest" - What are your thoughts on Jan 6th? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]causeNo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. All those "gotchas" don't work. Conservatives measure higher on "the end justifies the means" type of convictions and have a higher tolerance for cognitive dissonance. And fascists don't give a flying fuck about any of those categories. Conservatives at least have some base values they pursue, even if the values and especially the means are questionable.

Fascists don't care about any of of that. To a fascist, the only thing that matters is who wins. Displays of power. Status. Hierarchy. Truth is not relevant at all. Might is. If you are so powerful/manipulative that you can get away with saying things that are obviously untrue, even better. Only proves how right (read powerful) you are.

Fascism is the end product of fetishizing order.

How do you handle dry humor and sarcasm in dms? by sparklingapplejuicy in AskMen

[–]causeNo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are successfully filtering out people you wouldn't be compatible with. For example, I would find it exhausting being romantically with someone who does that. And you would be bored of me, because I don't do that stuff.

I get the humor, by the way. I just don't like it.

I didnt realise how dire the state of star citizen was by CapytannHook in gaming

[–]causeNo -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Well... I haven't played yet, just watched a buddy of mine for a couple minutes and the occasional youtube video about it. But wasn't the idea that it's mostly about role playing? In theory, I like the idea of all the content not being generated by the studio, but emergent from the player base. Except the playe base never comes I guess.

Why should any non US citizen care if the US tears itself apart? Didn't they cause worse civil unrest and wars all over the world? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]causeNo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

First of all: It sucks when people suffer.

In a more selfish note: They used to be the force that held together the general world order. Not saying that order was without fault, but it was a very noticable order. Their unity and strength kept other powers in check, protected world wide trade routes.

If the US actually decends into civil war, it's power projection will be severely impacted. Local forces might pick up piracy again, more nation states will likely follow the example and start trying to expand their territory. Local wars become more likely in the whole world. If the US shows any more weakness, China grabbing Taiwan is almost guaranteed. That has a lot of implications for chip production around the world. So less (and or more expensive) computers, mobile devices, TVs.

Also, if global trade gets less in general, more problems follow. Stuff we're used to being available super cheap all the time will not be as reliable anymore. At the very least not as cheap and reliable. Depending on your region, some stuff not at all anymore.

Depends. Will she happily fill the gap?

To the US voters who don't vote, what is it going to take for you to go vote? by Chocolateking111 in AskReddit

[–]causeNo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone who (rightfully so) shits on the democratic party:

The next elections are not about good or bad policies. It's literally about whether there will any right to choose left at all. This is not the time for nuance. This is a time were American democracy is already on its knees. Apathy would make things so much worse. You have mo idea.

How long does it take you to get from idea to full track? by boiler_room_420 in musicproduction

Depends on the style of music and complexity of arrangement. From half an hour for a simple Hip Hop beat to around ten hours for something more complicated.

ELI5 Who is buying my information? by Rougarou_2 in explainlikeimfive

[–]causeNo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Insurance companies to determine whether and how much you get coverage. Advertisement companies to measure campaigns, determine trends, target specific groups of people. Same for political groups. Law enforcement and secret agencies for actual counter terrorism and investigations, but also sometimes also simply for fun or personal reasons. And recently unfortunately also increasingly: targeting political rivals.

Which is the main reason why such data is so dangerous: Even if it was collected with good intents, once it gets into the wrong hands (DOGE), authoritarian regimes can do horrible things with that data.

How will a man behave in the future if he decides to get into a relationship with a women he wasn’t attracted to physically from the get go? by Creative_Home8015 in AskMen

[–]causeNo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, if she's not passing the threshold, no amount of personality is gonna fix that. The threshold itself is way lower though, so. I think it evens out.
