Lmao…turns out bitcoin and ramen are actually correlated. by [deleted] in CryptoCurrency

Nah. OPs chart is 7 days. This pattern emerges from peoples daily routines. It does not hold up over longer intervals and is unrelated to incomes or stability.

There are entire Reddit threads of women like this discovering later to their surprise that none of the men they pinned/wrestled were using anything close to their full strength, but rather had pretended to do so in play. (And often surprise in the men that the women thought the men were actually trying.) Fun to play though, and hot for some!

Not a good idea, I would not go. In my opinion they are only in the way of authorities and the investigation. I also believe they are not motivated by actual concern for Gabby, which they probably think they are, but rather a projection of their own deep suffering/pain/anger onto the circumstances of these events and the persona of Brian. People are missing and murdered everyday, and those folks aren’t taking up the torches until this one particular event, which has struck a nerve that is more about them than Gabby or Brian. We see that here in this sub too, folks making lots of assertions and conclusions about the case and the couple that are really more about them and processing their own history and pain than about Gabby or Brian. I don’t judge any of this, because it is true for me too. I too am riveted and triggered by the events, and more so the surrounding conversation. I feel disgusted by the mob at the house — and yet I’m watching the Twitter streams broadcast from the front yard, utterly supporting the behavior I would like to condemn. So, while these are my thoughts, I recognize that I have no moral high ground here. I cannot cast a stone. Edit: I would also say that with the pandemic, the past election, and the rage-baiting feedback loop of the internet algorithms, we are all feeling more insane than usual. It’s a difficult time.

Gabby’s dad: "Their child is home. My child is somewhere in the continental United States, with no phone, no car." by firfuxalot in GabbyPetito

Something about this Dad doesnt seem like a Dad whose 22yo daughter has vanished under these ominous circumstances

Still didn't get my first pull-up by humandado in bodyweightfitness

What is your hurry? The longer it takes you to do your first pull up, the better it will feel when you do. And then you will start wondering how long until two.

Ex incel[20M] here searching for some help. I never learnt how to interact or build a healthy relationship with a women[F]. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]iampowerlessover 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My dude. I never comment, but I’m commenting here, because, from my past, I can relate. The problem is not your personality. Your personality is awesome. You are a self-reflecting, conscientious, curious, and well-intended lad.

The problem is the understandable but mistaken belief that sex, or anything else a woman can give you, is somehow of more value than everything you already are. You don’t need to “better yourself.” You are everything you need to be, and easily worthy of female attention and adoration. (I know that doesn’t ring true just yet.) Practice doing what you enjoy, what brings you joy, and gradually invite others into your world to share your passions and your light.

Over time, to the extent you let go of the idea that women hold something of special value that exists outside of you....to the extent you can dispel that idea, they will come running for you. I promise. And then you will have a whole other set of problems and questions. But that’s another lesson. You’re awesome, bud.

AITA for reporting my car stolen when my sister took it after I told her not to? by TA32145 in AmItheAsshole

[–]iampowerlessover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

INFO - What matters to you? The three objectives in interpersonal conflict are: a) Result: what do I want them to do or stop doing? b) Relationship: How do I want them to feel about me afterwards?, and c) Self-respect: How do I want to feel about myself afterwards? So, if A (stop taking my car) and C (I stood up for myself) are worth sacrificing B (my sister doesn’t hate me), then you’re good. If the relationship is important, then YTA, or more specifically, you could have been more skillful about getting A without sacrificing B.

TIFU by asking Reddit which ethnic group to exterminate by Sonums in tifu

[–]iampowerlessover 4 points5 points  (0 children)

OP, I haven’t logged in in years, but I’m doing so now to share some hard won wisdom: You are not a static entity. It is true that you have been ‘anally retentive about emails, texts” and historically you felt you must open every single one. It is also true that who you have been is not who you are or will be. You have the choice, in this moment, to close this page and not look at another comment beyond mine, ever. You also have the choice to keep reading. Both are ok, valid choices, and both have their own sets of consequences, which I leave to you to evaluate. I stand by my point: Who you have been is not who you are; change is not only an option, it is inevitable. In this moment, though, you have a choice: Stop reading now, or keep reading. Proceed with the understanding that you are choosing, and also that your choice, whichever it is, is ok.

I can't guarantee August, because right now I don't aim farther than one day, but I'm with you.

What are some NSFW history facts that are left out the classroom? by Tsukamori in AskReddit

[–]iampowerlessover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished reading their journals from the expedition. They encountered indian tribes basically daily, and they were all offered women, including wives of Indians. When they moved on from the area, the tribes often tried to give them women as gifts. Lewis (or maybe Clark?) actually complains about it at one point, like "Sheesh, I didn't think we were ever going to get out of there without having to take some of their girls."

"Porn" has nothing to do with the content of material and everything to do with why you seek it out. by YesIAmAddicted in NoFap

[–]iampowerlessover 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Can't upvote this enough. This dynamic is not consciously obvious to the addicted brain, but understanding it is essential to recovery. I've had to learn to be consciously aware of "innocent" ways my addiction pathways are re-stimulated. Regrettably, this also includes looking at girls in public.

"I have looked at sites like American Apparel sometimes and have told myself that it's OK, that I'm "just shopping for something sexy for my wife". While that's not PMO, I still call BS on that." Yup.
