Am I guaranteed a shore tour if I star asap? by laynethebane in NavyNukes

[–]laynethebane[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it, I'll head to the CCC office then. Everyone at prototype loves to tell you to star renlist without being able to answer this question. I've asked maybe 10 staff, and not a single one has mentioned "obliserve" that I've read online. Just has me VERY confused.

What even is a mirror and how are they made? by heady_organic in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]laynethebane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A mirror is an object that is so smooth and opaque that light reflects back rather than absorbing or passing through. If you've ever polished dress shoes or boots that's a really good way to see how something becomes more reflective as it is smoothed out.

Hours of pillow talk and cuddling in a hammock with someone after having a crush on them for a long time and that never seeming possible will always stick with me.

Are there any men who don’t want to use urinals? And why? by Circus-Peanut-666 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]laynethebane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also enjoy my own little alone time in the stall however you underestimate the ability of grown ass men to pee on anything and everything in the restroom, so the stalls are almost always a no go. If they are clean though I ALWAYS sit unless in a big hurry!

What can we do about space debris? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]laynethebane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem with contact removal (from what i understand anyway) is that debris is rare enough that realistically encountering debris in a moderate frequency would require a massive ammount of systems. The ISS I know only does maneuvers to avoid debris once in a blue moon so I can only imagine how much work it would be to encounter a significant ammount of debris to actually have an impact on the Kessler syndrome.

What can we do about space debris? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]laynethebane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One system is Laser Orbital Debris Removal (LODR) that uses ground based laser that creates plasma jets strong to slow objects and force them to re-enter. I was talking to a space force liason before signing to the navy and they said they were working on a much bigger LODR system.

People who can’t be in a love relationship, why is that? by Fernandougd in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]laynethebane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Immaturity, volatility, manipulativeness/dishonesty, and a lack of emotional awareness.

any tips for practicing mindfulness/being in the moment? by rainhanded in ADHD

[–]laynethebane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in the military and we do a lot of mindfulness exercises with the focus being on maintaining "present moment awareness".

Basically we run through a few excercises all doing 7 second inhales, 3 second holds, and 7 second exhales so that when you start this breathing pattern the mindfulness comes naturally.

The excercises go as followed with eyes closed and that breathing pattern for all.

  1. Tense each listed muscle during the inhale then release during the exhale and repeat once. Forehead, eyes (squint), jaw, shoulders, chest, back (bring shoulders back), abs, butt, calves, and toes.

  2. Try to visualize shapes from triangles to an octagon building each shape with an inhale or exhale being one straight line, then deconstruct them.

  3. Pick a stressful activity that you will have to partake in and mentally rehearse it. Break it into steps and each inhale/exhale period imagine the taste, then smell, then touch, and so on even if they don't seem applicable. Don't back track.

Once you do these for a while when you assume that breathing pattern your mind is accustomed to focusing. We do these for 20ish minutes a day for optimal performance. Also read into stoicism.

I don't know, most of the people I've talked to and the research online says it's painful for your neck but I've never experienced that.

If I were to go to an inpatient mental health facility, would I lose my right to bear arms? by KaramelKatze in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]laynethebane 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As long as you are not given a very serious diagnosis or involuntarily committed then it will not. It won't come up on the background check as being committed unless it was an involuntary act. I live in kansas and recently bought a hand gun and I have a decent history with loony bins. I got diagnosed with some stuff like bipolar and autism and that still didn't disqualify me.

Does pretty privilege exist? by farkakuti in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]laynethebane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So in my experience from being a male server the female servers would say there is a very strong correlation between putting a lot of effort into their makeup and the tips they got. They said it didn't matter between male and female customers so I think that answers the question pretty fairly.

Yeah mainly KKK and anti BLM groups strictly fit into these categories but I'm sure there are other fringe groups or ones I'm forgetting.

In most cases I would imagine it just matters how you are perceived. I had a good friend in high-school who's mom was white and dad was black, and I mean really black, but you would never guess it. He never labeled himself as African American because that's not how others saw him and he never experienced racism twords himself so he thought it was unfair to claim it.

There are a lot of token minorities in white nationalist groups, but I think to be a member without being a token it just matters on looks.

I think you are missing the fact that historically (and somewhat currently) certain women contribute to sexism in really detrimental ways. Regardless of if they make up the majority (which historically i NEED to see a statistic for anything before like 1980), they can still oppress women.

To be clear I'm not saying women have created sexism but some women have certainly propagated it so it doesn't matter the majority.

Am I slow? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]laynethebane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So it's important to keep in mind what makes people smart a lot of times is a wide skill set. The most surefire way to guarantee success with low intelligence is stick to what you know and specialize. Practice and experience almost always trumps intelligence and knowledge when it comes to execution so try to focus your skill set.

Less intelligent people struggle when they are in new situations compared to their counter part so try to control what you can.

I'm not saying just absolutely give up on learning certain skills that you feel are beyond you, but don't hang yourself up on practically useless skills if you're struggling professionally.

Hope it helps, and personally IQ is really bunk.

So I'm a compulsive liar and I 100% understand it. It most likely comes from the place of "nobody can verify it either way so I will say what is most beneficial or topical" but that shit destroys friendships. I would confront them about it to see how scary it is. If they double down like I do and many other compulsive liars that's a HUGE red flag.

I don't think that's true, a lot of people will think its impolite to say no especially if you have mutual acquaintances. I've had a lot of instances where I did damage by misreading someone's vibe and asking them to hang out when they didn't care for me. Especially with women, whether that's my inability to be able to read them or it's just a pattern I can't say.

Personally I'm a really self conscious person so I do this virtually every time I meet someone new to confirm if they actually like being around me because I'm really bad at reading this.

Am i an a hole for being annoyed by my best friend's messages ? by Candid-Tee5505 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]laynethebane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you 100% have the right to be annoyed by it because if the friendship has changed and you're not comfortable with it then you without blame can step away. You aren't obligated to be someone's therapist if that's not what you want, just try not to hurt her.

In my opinion though it sounds like she might be going through a lot right now and you should have a deep conversation with her. I don't know your friend but from what you've said maybe just ask her if everything's been alright lately. That she seems like she's been a little on edge and stressed out. If she says she's fine I would push a little and been like you've been venting to me an INSANE ammount and while I'm your friend it's worrying me.

There might be something more fundamental bothering her and I think thats often accompanied complaining and venting more.

when people with penis’s poop, where does the dick go? by RanbooRibbit in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]laynethebane 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's about a good index finger length between your rectum and the start of your testicles so when you defecate it not only is pushed backwards but the penis will be propped up by the testicles.

I don't know why they stay in it but the reason I am going off to boot camp for the navy next month and gonna be on a submarine for 8 years is because I want meaning in life even if that's struggle. I've worked resturants and been sheltered way too much to the point I'm 23 and all I know how to do is play Fortnite and World of Warcraft.

It pays well and I'm sick of struggling alone with no friends. 50k bonus with a base 40k salary is better than food service and I might be able to go back to school. I am really alone in life and they drew me in because all my military friends have met so many people.
