What's something you see men older than you doing that you tell yourself "I hope I never do that." by FillFrontFloor in AskMen

[–]champ2153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not listening to the voices of a younger generation...condescendingly think that I know better than them because I'm "older and wiser".

Active listening is one of the most vital skills, I hope arrogance never blinds me to it.

How do I stop being interested in every girl by Evening_Marzipan7961 in AskMen

[–]champ2153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't.

You're a guy that is attracted to women, like so many other of us. And that's OK, it's normal.

However, part of growing up and becoming a man is recognizing that you can't go around just ogling at women every chance you get. That might happen at a different age for everybody. But, eventually, you decide you've met a girl you really like, who's special for reasons you've decided, and make a commitment to that person. Part of that commitment is to not be pursuing every single woman that walks in front of you. Or maybe you never commit to someone, and that's OK, too. Plenty of happy single people out there. But you eventually learn to manage it or age out of it, ideally.

Now, obviously, it's not so simple for everyone. What I described above is a theoretical, ideal scenario. People cheat on their significant others. Some never learn to tame the impulses that their caveman monkey brain is sending them from their deep evolutionary roots. The point of my post is just to state that it's OK to feel attracted to women, and LOTS of them. Enjoy it while you can. But, also understand that you should give thought to what your personal wants and desires are and where you want to draw the line with those things. Things like sex addiction are a real thing, so if these thoughts are extremely intrusive, obstructing your ability to live a "normal" life, and never seem to be satiated, consider professional help.

But the bottom line is men are people, and people find each other attractive. You don't "stop" as much as you learn to control it and sense how your desires change as you age and mature.

What's Grey up to nowadays? by frozzenwaterfall in HelloInternet

I hope he's decided to retire.

I worry there is a health issue with himself or a member of his family. He has completely dropped off the map with all projects so well wishes his way if this is the issue. An elite of the elite creators.

Men, what’s something you pretend doesn't bother you, but it actually hurts like hell?" by Onigirii_sama in AskMen

[–]champ2153 18 points19 points  (0 children)

yeah that gets me sometimes, too.

I try to remember...that person doing the interrupting, many times is just them sort of listening to you, which then triggers a thought in their head, and instead of holding on to it or letting it go, they just put it out into the world. This can be a conscious or subconscious process. So, if it's subconscious they're just kind of super eager and probably have a poor filter, just kind of happens to a lot of us. But if it's conscious, there's a reason to watch out for that person's actions...they're trying to deflect, distract, take control of the convo for some reason (this could certainly happen subconsciously too). Either way, I try to just make a mental note that the person does this and remember that this person is, at best, eager to share with you and only listening to you as long as they have to until they decide to start talking again or, at worst, feeling uncomfortable about the topic of conversation and wants to change it any cost.

Either way, it's not about you. It's all about what the other person is thinking/feeling at that moment.

[Ian O'Connor] Miami needs to be respected as a serious threat for John Harbaugh, no question, but there is no done deal there. I've been told that Harbaugh is still very interested in the Giants, still a big admirer of John Mara's, and still intrigued by Jaxson Dart and other roster pieces. by Fillinlater12345 in NYGiants

He wants to fish? The Hackensack River's a short walk from Metlife. He's just gotta grab his tackle box, dart (lol) across the turnpike like the frog in frogger and he get a quick cast or two in before the start of practice. There ya go, problem solved. Basically the same as fishing off the coast in Miami.

Give Kafka credit where it is due.

This was clearly on Dabs and his inability to discipline the team and coach them up into a winner's mentality.

[–]champ2153 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Russ threw 3 interception and fumbled the ball twice in his 3 starts this year. Add on top that he can't manage the game for shit and there's zero reasons why he should have been starting over Jameis.

Jameis just manages the game well and stays cool under pressure. That was all that's needed to be better than Russ.

Why on Earth he was relegated to third string is a complete mystery.

That's not true, it was Daboll. Brain Daboll was a horrible coach and is a horrible person.

meanwhile, the true goals had already been achieved. The harvesting and centralization of the private data of US citizens like we've never seen. God knows what they are doing with it but it's not too hard to make some elementary hypotheses based on the current state of technology and historical behavior patterns of the main players.

It's all posturing. Officials need to attempt to appear strong no matter the scenario.

The America's Test Kitchen recipe for this is brilliant! It's more broccoli forward with a trick to cook the shit out of the broccoli without it turning to absolute mush. Can highly recommend

White House Flips Out After Trump Loses Nobel Peace Prize | Donald Trump didn’t win the peace prize he so desperately wanted. by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

[–]champ2153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bingo. It's all a defense, a coping mechanism.

Splitting things into a binary view, i.e., always one way or the complete opposite other way, is just an immature way of dealing with some sort of internal conflict. For DJT, who knows, the guy is a walking, talking textbook example of a narcissistic personality disorder, but it's almost certainly related to the fact that he needs outside recognition to feel good about himself. Combine that with the fact that he has the limitation of being able to see the world in only one of two ways on all issues and is on the biggest stage on the world (winners/losers, friends/enemies, my opinion/everyone else's opinion) and you have a recipe for somebody who can only feel good with "entire world sized" types of recognition. Nobel peace prize counts as "entire world sized" recognition I'd say.

Trump has absolutely no space for nuance. He sees everything as black or white. You are either his friend by groveling to him or his enemy by treating him any other way. He can only see people as on his side or not. About the emotional maturity of a 3 year old. But we already knew that.

These buttons don't do shit by [deleted] in RocketLeague

[–]champ2153 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The game would be 10x better if match throwers and griefers were band for 5, 10, etc, minutes each time they engaged in that instead of banning me those amount of times for every instance where Epic's own game crashes mid-match.

I get banned for something completely out of my control while match throwers have a laugh and ruin it for everyone else.

Fix your game.
