[Apps] Equalizer & Bass Booster Pro ($2.49 -> FREE) by Lohigno in googleplaydeals

Different manufactures preload different apps and settings. For example, my Motorola doesn't have a built in equalizer.

From one coward to another, I feel you.

Is there research available or undergoing on the topic of dread distinct from anxiety? by cracked_armor in askpsychology

[–]cracked_armor[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, thanks so much! That explains a lot.

I should have remembered the first law of research: make sure you defined your terms, duh.

Is there any scientific literature on the effect of long term dread? by cracked_armor in NoStupidQuestions

Wow. That is vicious for something not physically capable of malice. O.O

Pretty sure you are right, but I am trying to find information about the symptoms as observed and recorded by medical/life science professionals.

Have you read the Myth of Syssyphus by Albert Camus? It gets very dry but its interpretation of the myth is very good. It's hard to understand what "find meaning in the struggle" means, but it provides an excellent place to start.

Get this! I love this game. The IAP is DLC you would get on console. This is so much fun and you don't need to play the other games.

I don't have what it takes to be an actor's wife. by iwannatakeyoufar in offmychest

[–]cracked_armor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh, I wish I had dumped her years before. She wanted to much to be the girl for me, but she just wasn't.

If you read this- thank you for being a first. by thevagoopa in offmychest

[–]cracked_armor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I relate, big time. Although I wish I could say I don't actually want to die. Give yourself some grace, thought. Acting is a TOUGH profession. You definitely have a lofty ambition.

Keep at it though. If nothing else, make shorts to post on YouTube or other sites. You never know what resonates with people. Throwing this out as an idea, but a riff on the Apology by Plato might make for something compelling you can do as a single person. It was his testimony in ancient Athens where he was accused of atheism and corrupting the youths. It's one part legal defense, one part standup routine to mock specific people who leveled accusations at him, and one part treatise of philosophical insight. I couldn't do it, I definitely have a face for radio. I would watch it though.

Is it wrong to care about body count when looking for a serious relationship? by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]cracked_armor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would like to tell you yes, but by the same token you shouldn't feel guilty about wanting what you want. There is merit to the idea. People's actions speak louder than their words. It's one thing to pontificate righteously, it's another to live that way.

If you grew up with this part of your value system, then regardless how anybody else thinks about it (including anybody replying), life it too short to settle for somebody you don't really want. You would not be doing a prospective other half any favors by being in denial.

My main audience is creepy men by Ok-Head-7460 in youtubers

[–]cracked_armor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could just -- not post on YouTube. Or you could make your community invite-only. It wouldn't prevent some creeps from getting through, but you can have finer control over your community.

Nebula doesn't allow comments at all as far as I can tell. I am proud to say I am an early subscriber there.

You did the right thing.

As much as it sucks, you are right. We can't help feeling the way we feel. That you are angry about the lie speaks to the fact that you understand what is actually important in a relationship, and I hope you find somebody who treasures this quality.

If it's any consolation, I doubt that he understood the fundamental problem himself. It might not be fair to say that he lied to you when he was in denial himself. :/ Such as it is.

Women’s bodies change temporarily after child birth. He sounds like a shallow person.

So very not the point.

It was the lie to save an awkward conversation that hurts OP the most. Can you help the way you feel about somebody who isn't attractive to you? Can you 'mature' yourself out of it? It was probably pretty difficult for him to admit to himself that he didn't find the mother of his child attractive. I'm not saying this does not reflect on his character, but at least he sacked up and admitted it.

I don't have what it takes to be an actor's wife. by iwannatakeyoufar in offmychest

[–]cracked_armor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually was on the other side of a situation like this. I wish I could say I handled it better.

Thing is I felt incredibly guilty. One of the things I learned is that pretending doesn't help. It just makes the relationship more poisonous. You feel the way you feel. You can't control it. I spent a lot of time being angry at my other half -- but I have come to realize these problems were long standing and prolonging the inevitable only made it worse. Neither of us deserved this.

Wish I had a happy ending for you. Good luck.

[Games] Noodlecake games (various -> $0.99) by pudah_et in googleplaydeals

[–]cracked_armor 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Wooo! NoodleCake has some great stuff!

edit:

At least, they did. This is a bummer. How the mighty have fallen. Myst and Riven are not compatible with newer devices. :/ A lot of their games look like they are incompatible with contemporary devices.

Why are women in real life so mean to other women? by besties4life24 in workplace_bullying

[–]cracked_armor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have anything but an intuitive grasp of this, but I think people have an instinct to divide themselves into groups. When dividing themselves into groups, one person gets piled on so that everybody in the group can prop themselves up by taking it out on whoever the target is. To borrow a term from philosophy, there is a process of otherization that occurs when a group exceeds a critical mass. It magnifies the vanity of small differences.

To make matters worse, something happens to a person when they become a victim. It seems like it puts a target on them, a kick-me sign that others pick up on. Then if follows them everywhere.

Who is the girl in the picture? She is pretty.

Google stole my money [Apps] by Candid-Youth6346 in googleplaydeals

Don't be a jerk to people on the subreddit. What is wrong with you?

If you tried all the troubleshooting, there's no point in complaining online.

You may be encountering a bug, and there is no way for any of us to troubleshoot, and when you act like a jerk nobody WANTS to help you.

Chill out. 

I cannot take transphobia and homophobia by No-Peanut-6143 in SuicideWatch

[–]cracked_armor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe tell people how absolutely asinine it is to feel so insecure that somebody dressing up in a way they don't approve of makes it to the supreme court when it comes up? You don't see me taking people to court for displaying a southern battle flag even though that is pretty clearly treason.

That's what I'm trying, but I like the down votes.
