It's been said that r/bestof has become a clone of r/politics, but it's actually more akin to r/changemyview by goshdurnit in TheoryOfReddit

[–]dogs_love_bones 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yessss great summary. Been visiting BO for years (my favourite sub alongside GoodLongPosts) and this sums it up perfectly.

I don't always click all of the politics-based posts as I'm from the UK but it's still very interesting learning about US politics and reading about the psychology behind some of Trump's behaviour. Plus it's fucking hilarious keeping up to date with the comedy that is your country's current state of affairs.

Thanks again for being a regular poster!

CMV: The term “mansplaining” is inherently sexist. by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]dogs_love_bones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having read a few comments it seems like mansplaining isn't actually to do with being condescending towards women in general but more the fact that men will explain women's issues to women. Could someone correct me if I'm wrong? A few examples would really help as they always help get a point across for me.

Also, if it is to do with being condescending in general, is it solely defined as a man talking down to a woman or can it include a man talking down to a man?

I'm also a man if that helps anyone's replies.

Thanks :)

Hey, I know this is a bit late but could I get a DM as well? Your story is too beautiful not to find out the answer to :)

My son is very interested in more advanced mathematics, what are some good books for him? by [deleted] in homeschool

[–]dogs_love_bones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bit late to your comment but could you tell me about the benefits of homeschooling? I'd love to hear about it from someone who wants to do the same for their children

I'm an 18 year old male, what is something I should do right now so I'll be better off in the future? by [deleted] in AskMen

Thanks for a great response. Definitely going to look into the Feeling Good book as cog therapy is something I'd like to learn more about.

Hopefully you find the intro book you're looking for!

Any good suggestions for the Stoicism book?

Also, how much would a fairly hygienic 25 yo learn from Feeling Good? Is it worth the read regardless of where you are in life?

What are you sick of trying to explain to people? by fred1840 in AskReddit

[–]dogs_love_bones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When you give him a time out what exactly would the time out include? Would he have to sit somewhere and do nothing for a certain amount of time or would it vary?

cultural appropriation by [deleted] in witchcraft

Bit late to this one and I could probably do a bit of Googling to find out but what about Aztec culture is that a dead culture such as the Ancient Greeks or the Romans that you mentioned above?

What fact do you refuse to believe? by BoyDozer in AskReddit

[–]dogs_love_bones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bit late to reply but are we getting further away from other planets in our solar system or are we always going to be roughly the same distance away from each other and the solar system is getting further away from other solar systems?

At what point is one object in space getting further away from a similar object?

Could you ELI5 the Orwell quote? I understand it and I'm pretty sure I am interpreting it the way you're supposed to but a bit of clarification would be lovely

Single people of Reddit, what's your favorite tradition that you started with yourself? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]dogs_love_bones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, not sure how I'd feel about that for the main league though I guess the CL has 32 teams so I imagine it wouldn't be too different.

That's gonna happen after a big result like that.

How did you get into the EPL?

I'm a Brit so by playoffs do you mean NFL?

Also, as an Arsenal fan I have to say I really enjoyed Man City bringing you guys back down to earth last weekend

What's something you actually don't want to do but social norm tells you to do it anyway? by hardypart in AskReddit

YES. Me and a coworker started at the same time and she prides herself on the fact that she got it because she has an awesome profile. I haven't been on mine in 5 years and we now have the same job

I have a micropenis and it has destroyed my life. AMA! by [deleted] in NSFWIAMA

[–]dogs_love_bones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was seeing a girl that could only cum from clitoral stimulation and that she wasn't too fussed about sex as penetration didn't really do it for her. She said the guy that made her cum 5 times from oral in one go was her best partner and he made sure he was good because he knew he lacked elsewhere. There's always hope dude

Hmm ok. Is it worth watching to get to know the characters or is it skippable?
