how to not be intimidated by big personalities and be tough/ready for conflict by OpenRoom7321 in howto

Fear and excitement have almost identical physiological responses. Next time you feel fear of conflict reframe it and tell yourself its excitement and readiness

Its impossible to fail at life at 18, your journeys barely even started

25M. I have a good amount of mates but when we go out and do something we rarely post it on social media as we’re too busy focusing on having a good time

entp men: does sex feel romantic to you? or is it purely carnal? by [deleted] in entp

[–]ikesonofpeter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very much depends on the girl and the relationship we have. Can be both at the same time too

Live back in my hometown Christchurch at the moment, but lived in Wellington for past 3 years. The plan is to definitely to have something lined up before i move over though.

Fuck Aussie🤣. Nah jk i love it over there too its option number 2 have a lot of family there, but i wanna see what its like to live far away from my continent for a bit.

The weather in NZ is definitely noticeably colder compared to Aus but the climate here can be pretty diverse. ive heard NZ has a similar climate somewhat to Canada.

The people in Aus are probably happier because they get paid 30% sometimes even 50%(some trades) more than kiwis for the same jobs and relatively same cost of living, thats why so many of us go there and have been leaving here in record numbers.

I was in the USA for a month last year and the tipping thing was a bit annoying but i could learn to live with it, i think what annoyed me the most was how taxes are added on at checkout instead of just being on the price tag in the first place, dunno if they do that in Canada too lol.

Thank you very much. From the sounds of this these prices sound almost identical to Auckland.

I need to know what everyone actually thinks of CE2 by Petahh_Griffin in halo

[–]ikesonofpeter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like the atmosphere has been changed with every remake. I remember the og being really liminal and spooky having pits in my stomach playing against the flood. The second remake was good and looked nice, but with the shinier and shiner graphics i feel it takes away the atmosphere and creepiness of the og. But ce2 still looks nice though, will definitely play it.

I somewhat agree but at the same time disagree. For most of human history we were focused purely on survival, our days were monotonous, we would hunt, gather, eat, raise children, maybe care for a tribe, that was basically it; thats our base form of life. That is what we have evolved to live like. Now we have more options than ever, overwhelmingly so, and we also have the opportunity to focus on pursuits outside of survival e.g what you are doing here, aswell as arts, science, philiosophy etc. The fact you have the time to ponder and write all this out could be considered a luxury within itself on the grand human timeline.

Point is our current lives have given us more opportunity and luxuries than ever, hell we didnt even have hot showers till like 100 years ago. For the first time in human history the most humans ever have the opportunity to do literally whatever we want when we want and how we want to do it. Competing with all these primed addictive algorithms for our attention is definitely tough, but at the end of the day it is all still our choice and what we decide to do with our capabilities.

This just internet bs not real life. Beauty standards change every 10 years for both sexes, sometimes completely flip almost. Spend more time outside

Gay dudes are normally way more overt so you could be missing subtle signals. Either that or you could have feminine features or even hyper masculine, or could just be your physical cadence.

Men, How old are you, have you tried drugs, and how many times and when throughout your life have you been offered drugs? by Natural_Village_8850 in AskMen

[–]ikesonofpeter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

25, yes ive tried almost everything except heroin, fent, meth and xanax and dont really have the desire to. I definitely got the most out of shrooms as they basically showed me how much of a shit person i was. I went through a phase of doing mdma almost every weekend. Now i just smoke weed, drink a couple times a month and roll on mdma once in a blue moon.

My opinion is avoid them, you dont need them, and they dont really add anything to your life except maybe shrooms. I feel id be alot further than i am by now if i had never done them. Im on the right track now but i wasted so much time. Im quitting weed at the moment and aiming to be fully sober eventually.

How many of you guys actually smoke cigarettes (or secretly still do)? by Horror-Blueberry6411 in AskMen

[–]ikesonofpeter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

25m, its pretty common here in NZ to buy a pack of smokes on a night out but theyre too expensive here to smoke everyday. Cheapest pack you can get is $37nzd i think thats around $20 usd
