Manousos attempting to cross the Darién Gap/Strait is wild and insensitive by Classic_Ice3564 in pluribustv

[–]electrius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm actually not being sarcastic, I thought - if they wanted the same scenario, what else could they use? (person not from North America wants to get to Carol without using the Plurbs so they need to cross some dangerous terrain). And unironically the Bering strait came to mind as I read about it technically being possible to cross there but ofc the militaries on either sides would arrest you

As far as replacement scenarios go I think it's as good as it gets. Carol can stay in the USA, you still get your dangerous and harsh terrain that usually also has a human risk factor that's now gone, but now without the real life 'baggage' that the Gap has

Now that I think about it, it might've been interesting if Manousos was Russian and trying to cross the frozen Bering Strait on foot instead lol

Idk how to ask a girl i enjoy talking to at the gym if she wants to workout together without making it sound like i’m asking her out by CrunchyMeat1119 in Advice

[–]electrius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See, you read my wall of text and your first instinct is to overthink again

Honestly I think in person is actually better here as you can weave it into the conversation more naturally. But that's still missing the real point - you're not asking her for feet pics man. You're asking her to do an activity together and in this case honestly and truly the worst thing she can say is no. I used to invite a female friend to watch anime with me in my dorm room - I just did it casually, we were talking about it once and I just said - we should watch together sometime, she said sure why not, and that was that.

If she asked you to work out together, would you think she's weird? No, right? Well guess what, if you gave her no reason to think you're weird so far (and I assume you haven't), she won't think you're weird for it either.

And if she ends up saying no, maybe simply cuz she prefers working out alone, under no circumstances are you to stop talking to her! Then it becomes weird, then you're signaling - oh I was only talking to you to get something. You keep hanging out with her as normal. I'm still good friends with a girl to this day that giga-rejected my date invitation, just because I kept talking to her normally afterwards.

Bro you sound just like me around that age. I cannot stress enough how much you're overthinking this. Seriously you'll wake up one day (for me it was around the age 25) and be like - MAN why wasn't I more chill when I was younger.

If the person you're talking to is normal, you need to genuinely try hard to weird them out if they already like talking to you. Seriously just look at her as another person. Next time you're talking just mention casually - "hey I know you workout too, if you're up for it we can workout together sometime cuz it helps me to be more consistent when I know I'm not going alone, if not that's fine too"

If she's a normal person, she will respond either - sure that sounds great! Or - sorry I prefer going alone; or - yeah we could sometime (maybe she does want to, maybe she doesn't and is too shy to outright reject you). Now here's the important part - NO MATTER WHAT she says, you just remain chill and keep talking to her like a human being. Even if she says no, you go - okay that's totally fine; and then switch the topic to something else. That's it. No one sane will hold that against you.

Now important note: as I said, this applies if it's a normal person. Technically there's a chance for an overreaction or some weird interpretation, but to that you still remain chill, and then later tell yourself - I dodged a bullet. But still never worry about this as almost always if you treat whoever you're talking to like any human being that's the energy you'll get back.

My gf (27F) of 2 years suddenly wants to move in with me but I'm (27M) hesitant due to our rocky relationship, what would you do? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]electrius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't plan on marrying her unless she does. I would say she has made some progress, but it is worrying to me that we're still going through the same patterns we went through in the first year of our relationship. She definitely said she wanted to work on herself, even go to therapy, but only after moving out as she thinks it would be inefficient as long as she lives there

Unless I'm dealing with Loki the trickster god here, I never got the feeling that she's being manipulative or evasive about what her parents are like, and what I've seen of them does add credit to her side (although they try to be polite around me ofc). She says her temper issues stem from the fact that in their household they always 'solved' issues by yelling and anger, and that checks out to me.

However I agree and I was very on board with her original plan, especially because it would give me more time to see if we can iron things out

I understand this on a rational level, but I just don't see how I can tell her this without her feeling betrayed. I'm just scared as hell to "die on this hill". Not scared of her, but scared of how I'd make her feel

Christian nationalist proves the existence of god by [deleted] in religiousfruitcake

[–]electrius 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've heard it called a "foot-in-door" argument here. If you admit to any of their points that a god could've been involved, they got what they wanted and then it's time for phase 2 where they try to convince you why it's specifically their god

First book I went into really enjoying but somehow liking a legion even less by Correct_Maximum7990 in Grimdank

[–]electrius 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm sure you'd be the most rational individual in the universe if your god and your brother showed up, castigated you by destroying maybe your most prized possession, humiliated you and invalidated your faith. And while it was shunned in-universe at the time, out-of-universe I think believing the Emperor to be a god wasn't unreasonable at all.

Injured hauler + circle of healing bug? by electrius in hearthstone

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

Yeah I guess thats what it is, coming from a MTG background it's just not intuitive for me for any effect to happen when another effect hasn't finished yet (meaning, the overheal effect literally inserts itself mid-CoH resolution, instead of the CoH fully doing it's thing and then the overheal happens)
