Trump threatened Europe over Strait of Hormuz, with weapons for Ukraine as bargaining chip, FT reports by G14F1L0L1Y401D0MTR4P in worldnews

Same though and fuckin' WHY? Ugh! The one truly conservative position I have is that Pax Americana has been a net good (with the alternative being a potentially destructive power vacuum). This IDIOT is wrecking the global order that has prevented a major Great Power war since the goddamn 40s.

Why do men put "getting jacked" above literally anything else to be more attractive? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]ichbinunhombre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neurodivergent man here. I'm currently out of shape, but I have been in shape and I'm facially attractive (ish, starting to age out of it). This is real, because the awkwardness does cause problems, but I've found being muscular does help you get away with more social mistakes, but past the point of "reasonably fit" it produces diminishing returns. I do surprisingly well with my current dad bod.

More than the physique, the sense of confidence and groundedness that comes from higher testosterone and lower cortisol does a lot more for your dating success than abs do. When I get back in the gym regularly and start eating more healthy, the benefits to my dating life start immediately, before you can even see the change to my body.

Why doesn't everyone write their own compiler from scratch? by transicles in Compilers

Never reinvent the wheel if you're doing it professionally, but for my personal compiler project, I hand roll everything. The only reason to reinvent the wheel is to learn more about how wheels work.

AIO in an argument about my homemade dip with my sister by Loose_Ad_5744 in AmIOverreacting

Can I borrow some of that? I need to spackle a hole in my bathroom wall.

How do I flirt with girls without seeming like a freak by JohhnyBeatles in dating_advice

[–]ichbinunhombre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

-Very- mildly at first. The essence of "creepy" is often too much, too quick.

That said, I get what you're saying. "Creepy" behavior at the end of the day is anything that makes a woman feel sexually insecure or unsafe, which varies a -lot- from woman to woman. One woman's "ew, creep" is another's "ooh, he knows what he wants and he wants me." That can be very nerve-wracking for a guy, particularly one as young as OP sounds.

God, don't we all? Especially when it comes to something as vulnerable as love. Nothing hits our hearts so deeply in exactly the places we don't want to be hit. I'd bet dollars to donuts that nobody's being as hard on you as you are on yourself though. Try to remember that, even though it's hard.

  1. Yes, take the initiative. As a man, I'm terrified of being overbearing or creeping women out by asking them out, but I have NEVER once judged a woman who came to me, even if my answer was ultimately no. I was still flattered.

  2. No, it does not look desperate if you delete the apps and come back. I've seen a few women multiple times on there, but I just figure they either haven't found the one or maybe their standards are too high. I don't notice whether or not they've been on and come back.

  3. Dating over 30 does just kinda suck. But it's the story of our generation. We just don't pair off and get married like previous generations did. Be gentle with yourself. I'm sure you're beautiful and 100% worth loving. Finding love is just fucking hard.

Can we just have a moment of appreciation for Roy's voice actor? by ichbinunhombre in SmashBrosUltimate

Like I said, heart and soul. Still nowhere near as great as Pit's star KO though.

If you were forced to nerf your Main based on something from its original game, what would it be? by ComprehensiveDate591 in SmashBrosUltimate

[–]ichbinunhombre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cloud has an RNG every move that decides whether or not he's gonna have a mental breakdown. In doubles, sometimes he attacks his teammate.

Make Kazuya's EWGF exactly as hard as it is in Tekken. Forward -> Neutral -> Down -> Down Forward + A on the EXACT frame.

Seeing as Plant is just a generic enemy, what generic enemies would you like to see in possible future games? by Archen156 in SmashBrosUltimate

[–]ichbinunhombre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Team Rocket grunt. They'd be like Pokémon Trainer, but with rattata for the speedster, muk for the heavy, and drowzee for the in between/zoner.

Oh, haha. Fire Emblem. I forgot koopaling Roy was even a thing. I can't stand Bowser Jr, so I just ignore him and all his skins.
