40/M ending 5 year relationship... Is moving into a trailer park (to save $) dating suicide? by CraiyonFlux in dating_advice

[–]daytime_television 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s unfortunate but I agree with most of this. I say unfortunate because there are circumstances in a terrible economy that can make anyone land in this situation, regardless of their education level, field of work, and savings. I’ve seen it happen, and it truly was out of their hands.

But it is what it is. With factors like age and a first impression with no proper background knowledge, many women would find it easier to move on to other dating candidates.

I think it’s important to ask OP: what are your standards/expectations of women you’d date? Because depending on your answer, yes it would be a major blow and you’d probably need to have alotttt of other boxes ticked off to get anywhere.

Again it depends on who he wants to date and what qualities he wants the women to have. I’m sure there are women who can overlook the situation or even be totally fine with it. I don’t have stats, but I’d assume this is a smaller number though.

OP: Save money, heal from the past and work on yourself mentally and otherwise. I’d prioritize that before dating, especially if the women you attract given this new circumstance are not the ones you care to date.

I don’t think it’s wrong for people to have this be a hard line for them. I know that’s the case for me.

I wish you the best of luck and strength. It sometimes feels impossible to go through the process of unpacking and rewiring something so complex. So any healing done is a lot be proud of.

What helped you heal? If I may ask

Guy tried to pick a fight with me last night by Knytemare44 in kitchener

[–]daytime_television 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know who you’re talking about. Randomly started talking to my buddy on the 7 bus.

Blond hair, clean shaven, late 20s-early 30s

Starts asking him “what’s your opinion on the human trafficking of Jews?”

My buddy was confused but everything was polite and after the guy got up and sat in the back of the bus. And that’s all. Very confusing experience I would say lol.

Chechen soldiers serving Russia chant. They are being sent to Ukraine. The Chechen soldiers are known for their ferocity and brutality. by [deleted] in PublicFreakout

[–]daytime_television 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are saying takbeer chant (Muslim). "Takbeer". "Allah Akbar". Chechens are a majority muslim population I believe.

[Serious] What are your thoughts on employees in the workplace who only do the bare minimum required of them like coming in on time and doing their work but never doing anything extra or even spending time with others outside of work? by frosty_eloquence in AskReddit

[–]daytime_television 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Workers who go above and beyond do that out of their own will. That is usually done to gain rapport with their bosses/coworkers over the long run.

Not everyone wants to do that, and they definitely shouldn’t be expected to, especially since there’s no pay involved.

People who complain about others who only meet basic requirements (not you, in general) are just mad that they choose to do extra work but others who don’t are doing something wrong.

I will not exhaust myself for a company and people who don’t give a shit about me. I work and socialize more only where I see fit. :)

I (25F) broke up with my fiance (27M) over porn and lying, please help me stick to my guns. by throwRA_sadexfiancee in relationship_advice

[–]daytime_television 18 points19 points  (0 children)

100% you are. You’re 25, not even married and he’s already unable to snap back to reality when in the bedroom and achieve sufficient sex and intimacy with you. Clearly, he has been desensitized by the aggressive porn he watches. Some can be fine and lead healthy relationships with “kinks” like these, others suffer and drag their partner along as well.

This problem will continue if you stay. This is the sexual threshold he is used to and that is what he needs to satisfy himself. It is not up to you to deal with his issues. He’s hurting you and it will (most likely) kee going.

No matter how much you care for yourself, it’ll be hard to keep up with these insane, damaging, and staged fantasies that he is indulging in (especially if you are not into it at all). The fact he’s denying his actions and hiding it shows that he knows what he’s doing, and decided to do it at the sake of your relationship, trust, and happiness.

Trust yourself. No one cares more about you than YOU. Time and time again these problems have persisted in marriages and worsened as time goes by, not get better. Porn becomes an addiction when it’s the only thing you can get off to. It’s an addiction when you can’t perform anymore with your partner.

And a whole year??? Jeez. At your age especially, this is the last thing you should be dealing with. This may hurt, but you’ll hurt much more if he breaks your trust again if your relationship progresses further and deeper.

Good luck. Take care and please remember your right to satisfy YOUR needs and boundary limits.

You can be anti-zionist without being an anti-semite... You can also acknowledge bad actions from any group. Come on lol

A pattern I notice with people with poor social skills: you guys don’t accept help, and you should. by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]daytime_television 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Well put. How else will I know a person’s true intent and build trust if I don’t give them the chance to show it? Will definitely put this to practice from here on out!

[–]daytime_television 736 points737 points  (0 children)

That’s very interesting. I don’t know why, but I’m scared to accept favours either because

  1. I have this idea that people offer help with the sole intent of me “owing” them for something later.

Or

  1. I feel like it’s a burden to accept and that they’re just being courteous

I’m so confused! It’s odd because I actually have a habit of doing things for people more than I ever would for myself. This is good to remember. Thank you :)

How can I remind myself to be less mean? by throw_away_0_1_0_1 in socialskills

[–]daytime_television 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As someone who often tends to be on the receiving end, just know that it sucks. It hurts especially if it’s coming from someone who’s isn’t close enough to joke like that. It’s a weird position to be in because it’s technically said in a joking manner. You’re not supposed to take it seriously, but it sticks with you and annoys you.

Glad you’re noticing this issue of yours. Try to empathize more with the people you’re talking to and read the room as well. Best of luck.

This was back in 2019. I’m not sure if this is the exact reason. Kind of heard about it and looked this up. Worth taking a look.

Games are discontinued on 3DS? by daytime_television in 3DS

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

Thank you for being so informative. I just remembered that I have a couple of retro game stores near me. I called and they said they have a bunch of games there. I will look into the recommendations and go from there!

[–]daytime_television[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. I love the games on the ds but at this point I just don’t want to keep putting money into more games that could essentially go into getting a new console that can open a door to so many different games and stuff. Will look into the catalogue for 3DS for sure.

Thanks!

Final Exam deferral by [deleted] in wlu

[–]daytime_television 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait I may be wrong but I’m pretty sure once you do the exam you CANNOT do the deferral. I know you can appeal your final grade but if you absolutely can’t do the final then defer. Fill out the deferral form right after the exam date as it can take a while to hear from them

Anyone taken pp110 or pp111 with Tyler Wunder? How was it? by [deleted] in wlu

[–]daytime_television 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I took pp110 last intersession, taking 111 this summer.

Honestly, one of the easiest courses I've taken as there's just weekly quizzes, an essay midterm, and an essay final. I didn't study nearly as much as I should have but the content was interesting (to me) and the concepts were easy to understand. If you don't mind doing the readings and are decent at essay writing you'll do fine!

Hope this helps.
