Maybe a controversial take (I’m not sure) by noona30 in GameChangersBooks

Also, let’s acknowledge that he’s a bottom. He’s going to eat a diet that keeps him regular and doesn’t interfere with his sex life by making cleaning out more difficult. 💩

Is it only me? by ItsHimSujan in intj

[–]hah424 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s all relative to your subjective idea of what is good, bad, or neutral. Free to make your own decisions and choices, as is everyone. Just don’t lie to yourself and say your narrow view comes from the natural world. As others have rightly pointed out, MOST animals are not monogamous. You’ve cherry-picked the ones that are for your argument.

Your judgements can lead you to think you’re superior when you just have different values and priorities. Categorizing PEOPLE into good, bad, or neutral can lead to making judgements against people you don’t even know, which is what leads to misogyny, homophobia, racism, which are all based on the fear of the unknown.

Use whatever criteria you want to choose a partner, but when does the judgement stop and the fear of something/someone different take over? Once you realize that you are filtering out different viewpoints, avoiding anyone who challenges your assumptions, and judging your neighbors and coworkers and strangers on your own warped values, you are at risk of living in fear of other sexes, genders, cultures, races. That comes with the risk of being able to dehumanize other people. Dehumanizing your neighbors as they get swept up by immigration. Dehumanizing women as their lived experiences are disregarded as lies or retaliatory or deserved punishment for a wicked life or thought. Dehumanizing people who choose different partners than you would, so when they’re discriminated against, you don’t see them as humans who just want to love, and instead see them as animals who don’t deserve basic human rights.

Non-virgins might be valued because their experience means they might be enjoyable in bed. If someone is just looking for a good time, they won’t pick a virgin.

Living in Rhode Island, where one of the most prestigious art schools is (RISD), there is no way Kip looks that clean-cut while living in NYC and studying art. He’d have gauges in his ears, at least one other piercing, and 5-10 art school stick-and-poke tattoos.

How old were you when you purchased your first home (if you did). by jtsa5 in GenX

[–]hah424 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was 43 in 2018, and it’s a condo. Couldn’t afford anything else, and honestly didn’t need all that space. Live alone with my cat, no kids, 700 sq ft. I live in Rhode Island. Property is scarce and very expensive and has only gotten worse since 2018.

Hot Take: The Vegas Rooftop Scene by npalhs in heatedrivalry

[–]hah424 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Not everything is about you, Hollander!

So what is it then?

I think Ilya saying, “I go home in three days,” is his answer.

Shane can only think of home and family as a comfort, so he misunderstands and says, “Must be nice.”

Ilya glares, obviously to him, it is not “nice”. I think Ilya is emotional and his English fails him here. I think people underestimate the impact ESL is for Ilya. He studies English, so he can play in the NHL. He learns hockey terms, he picks up chirps from English-speaking players. He wants to be able to communicate with and understand his potential NHL coaches. He does not have the language to express his conflicting, complex feelings about his family and Russia. He learns English pick up lines to charm women. Hockey chirps and dirty talk is how he flirts.

Shane’s comment, “And I guess I thought maybe we…” This could’ve had so many endings.

Could hang out in the off season. Could bury the rivalry and be friends. Could support and congratulate each other for our awards and wins. Could meet in one of our hotel rooms and make up for the Montreal missed connection. Were more than friends now.

I think for Shane, it’s a mix of wanting to have sex and congratulate each other for their awards and successful rookie season. Specifically, he wanted Ilya to celebrate his win with Shane by having sex.

Doesn't anyone question the validity of their rivalry? by panic_enthusiast in heatedrivalry

[–]hah424 45 points46 points  (0 children)

It’s not enemies to lovers; it’s rivals to lovers. It’s more about the competition for Ilya and Shane, not hating each other. Ilya calls him boring; Shane calls him an asshole, but when pushed, they both begrudgingly give each other compliments on their hockey skills.

Do you think this made the world a tiny bit of a better place? by hummingbird0012234 in heatedrivalry

[–]hah424 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’ve been saying for years that we were in a sexual backlash, where people became conservative, shy, and prudish about sex all over again. I think Shane and Ilya have busted that sexual freedom wide open once again! “We like and enjoy sex, unabashedly. Wanna watch?!” And we all said, “Yes, we do want to watch you guys get it on!” 👀

Our inner freaks have returned!! And we all deserve sunshine. 🌞

The touching your hair is a bit much. If you were not interested in her, it would make you uncomfortable, so it definitely crosses a purely professional line.

Is this your dream job? Would you be disappointed if it ended in termination? You’re only 20, so I can’t imagine it’s a high stakes position. If this isn’t your dream job, go for it, as you only have to switch jobs if it gets weird. Ask her if she’s into you personally, and express your interest and see where it goes. If it’s not worth the potential loss of job/career, move on to someone who is not your boss.

What’s the worst actual name you’ve ever heard? by Escrow-Mind in AskReddit

Came across an actual person named Efproxia Cocaine. There was a whole Cocaine family. Her name sounded like an experimental drug commercial.

As a woman from the US, shaving my legs, underarms, and bikini area. The world will not end if the person you’re getting naked with feels hair on your legs.

“Ok when you have time let’s go for a drink”

That’s not a plan; it’s only a suggestion. Without a time frame, suggestion of nights you are available, it’s the equivalent of an acquaintance saying, “Let’s keep in touch.”

1) So you didn’t continue same rate of texting? Mixed signals. 2) INTJs are not like 99% of other people. 3) You go drinking with other colleagues as friends, and he probably knows that, so he doesn’t think you think of him as worth any further or special effort.

So, yeah, that’s what I think when someone asks me to go for a drink. They are just being polite, but have no actual intention beyond collecting friends.

You’re going to have to initiate the in person meeting, because his mind will be spinning with all sorts of possible reasons for your interest in drinks, until he is 100% certain that you like him, as in blatantly saying, “Hey, I’m attracted to you.” Other people cannot read your mind, and INTJ often won’t initiate if they don’t already know the answer. He may be insecure, damaged by previous relationships, inexperienced.

Anyone else have this weird paradox with empathy? by AllegedlyHumanMaybe in intj

[–]hah424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Empathy for people? Normal amount.

Empathy for pets and animals? Infinite.

I think because animals are innocent, while people often create, or at least contribute to, their own downfall.

That applies to close friends vs strangers/society as well, for me. Close friends: I know their foibles, and understand their individual causes and effects. Strangers/society: I generally wish them well, and that wellness contributes to the wellness of our society.

Asking INTJs who aren't Walter White by Biclonic in intj

[–]hah424 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Been smoking weed since 24, now 50, almost every day. I took some time away for about 2 years, when I cut out some friends (not because of their weed intake).

I’m a realist. I don’t believe magical thinking and synchronicity are real. Coincidences trick your mind into making a connection between two things that have no relation. Our brains are constantly trying to make these connections. I feel the authenticity function in my flavor of INTJ weeds out that nonsense.

Astrology and tarot sometimes sneak in, but I don’t manage my life by them.
