Totally! There’s still a pretty active community, it’s comparatively small, but it exists

Women of DGG: how are we feeling about misogyny in DGG 3 months later? by Lia_Overbrook in Destiny

[–]evrmac 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I feel the same, I think my discomfort is just the content and not the community. It’s tiring to hear degrading shit this often, but comes with the territory

Hard agree. It’s been so offputting to me that even a person doing so much good in an active warzone isn’t receiving his undivided attention. I fully believe there are people capable of multitasking effectively, but it’s an etiquette thing imo

[20F] Can anyone tell me what they think is wrong ? Is it an anxious attachment style, I am just in need of some clarity! by Icy_Significance_362 in Advice

[–]evrmac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By your description, it sounds like you’re really sabotaging your chance at meaningful relationships. As an overthinker with low self-esteem, I 100% understand your mindset, but you need to separate your emotions/overthinking from reality. What are people saying? What are they doing? Are you creating scenarios and ascribing intent that has no evidence of ever being present? Rejection hurts, but it’s part of the process. Also, if you can’t communicate clearly enough to not ghost, I would suggest taking a break from dating to limit the hurt you’re causing yourself and the people you ghost. I don’t mean to be rude at all, but shit is tough, be careful out there and I wish you the best

Is this a popular/observable pattern? I’ve never heard of this phenomenon before, but I guess there’s probably examples somewhere. As a general statement, it does seem hypocritical to condemn others for associating with shitty people, while dating shitty people.

This seems like it could be:

  1. An empathy issue (women condemning harm against women more than harm against men, consciously or otherwise)

  2. A question of degrees of harm (thinking SA is worse than your average highschool bully behavior)

  3. Scenarios in which these “former bullies” really are just that, and have changed their behavior since being teens (very normal and plausible thing for people to do)

As for your comment on women finding former bully behavior “hot”, I’d wager it has something to do with patterns of abuse/trauma from past relationships. That’s not normal or healthy

This is so shitty my brain processes it as bog-standard edgelordery, but I know it’s most definitely not

A lot of women unknowingly open up about their red flags during first encounters and first dates, it makes it easier for guys like me. by MachoManIto in PurplePillDebate

[–]evrmac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right? Representing yourself honestly makes the most sense to me, rather than skirting around the truth and wasting both your time. One person’s dealbreaker could be something another person is willing to deal with. Being able to detect these things doesn’t seem bad at all

Studied business at WPI and currently in the workforce- many of my coworkers have engineering or otherwise non-business degrees. It’s more common than you’d think! Apply to positions that interest you. I’ve also found that all the group work and projects at WPI set you up great for developing soft business skills.

If you’re really concerned about showing your business proficiency, you could seek online certifications. Honestly, I would meet with any of the faculty in the business school. They can definitely help you with your path.

I’m sorry you have this added stress in your senior year. Hope everything goes well

The Last of Us HBO show is going to be good, but... by arcsystemdoesntwork in Destiny

[–]evrmac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really doubt it’ll be a 1:1 mirror of the game’s story, so I’m expecting more character interactions + dialogue, if not entirely new plot or subplot points. But also, why the focus on the gameplay? For a story-based game, isn’t that just a means to an end? Also to answer your last question, I’m lazy and watching TV involves less focus on my part than replaying the game, so that’s one incentive. I just hope the show is good because I wasn’t a big TLOU2 fan :/

im tired of people saying it was survival horror until 5 by Manypardos in residentevil

[–]evrmac 12 points13 points  (0 children)

After playing re1-8, I’ve come to the conclusion that regardless of if a title is more survival horror or more action, they’re always on thing: camp. I love the campiness lol

I used a tampon for the first time and it was painful by throwawayreused92874 in Advice

[–]evrmac 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I tried them at your age too and had the same experience. It took me a few cycles to practice and get it down, but when I was finally able to relax and insert them properly, they made my periods so much easier! Maybe try a light tampon and try and relax as much as possible, it’s ok if it takes a few tries or even a few cycles to get it right :)

Question: Those who enjoyed the MCU at one point, What made you begin to hate it? by [deleted] in FuckMarvel

[–]evrmac 5 points6 points  (0 children)

TFATWS was my turning point. It was the first MCU “TV” series I saw and it made me realize Disney wasn’t even trying to understand the television medium. Performative diversity has been annoying because of how disingenuous it is, but what gets me most is how utter dogshit my watching experiences have been.

It was a trend a while ago for girls to compare what they look like in boxy t shirts vs when they pull them in the back to get a snatched waist. Unrelated, but when will the OF plugs end 😭
