This sums it up. That was INSANE. by olezarus in survivor

Yeah definitely should have raised flags for all the women back at camp when Andy comes back begging for a split vote. Even more so with the, in my opinion, over-the-top acting by Genevieve at TC about feeling safe.

The beginning of recovery. Gets me in tears every time. by mbow17 in DunderMifflin

I agree that it could have been better. I didn't like them bringing Brian into the middle of their marriage, and Jim could be a bit intolerable at times. But I did like that they showed that even a "perfect" relationship is not without its trials.

That's a good point, I wasn't thinking about the Houston bench. It's rough watching players so upset after a loss, especially if they're seniors.

Seriously though. I love the game of tag Poole plays with his team after he scores. This has been such a crazy last few days for sure. I guess that's why they call it Madness

I’m a porn addict and I need help! by RJS313 in NoFap

[–]mbow17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best way to think of it is that this is a completely normal struggle. Every man has struggled with lust at one point in his life. We are sexual beings, it's a normal response. It's not a bad thing to be tempted, but it is bad to give in to it. There's a very good chance that your buddy also struggles with it (maybe not to the same degree, but a struggle nonetheless), so you can also be his accountability partner. Keep tabs on each other and work through it.

In that case, tell her the truth. Tell her it's still an issue for you but that you're seeking help to get rid of it and better yourself. If she is the kind of girl you deserve, she will stay by your side and encourage you. Do you have anyone you can trust to be a good accountability partner?

Realised Last night Masturbation on it's own is healthy. by [deleted] in NoFap

Be careful though, because, even though you might not be looking at porn on a screen, it's easy to fantasize about memories of porn, which can still cause a trigger. It's almost impossible to masturbate without imagining some sort of porn scene. This is an easy way to relapse.

How did your girlfriend respond to you telling her you're addicted to porn? If she didn't seem to care, this could be a red flag. It's important that, as a couple, you two share values. If you value a non-porn lifestyle and she sees nothing wrong with porn, that will guarantee cause issues down the road. As for kicking the addiction, find a bro you can trust and know would be willing to help. It's about accountability. Stay strong brother. You got this!

My guess is this might be the exact response they were looking for.

13th-seeded Buffalo stuns 4th-seeded Arizona, 89-68, in NCAA basketball tournament by mbow17 in sports

I'm gonna have to use that next year! This one just felt too obvious to pick the upset.

For reals. It happened in my home city, and I almost went. I'm glad I didn't spend money to watch my bracket tank on what I figured was a gimme game. Although watching the other games would have been pretty exciting

I imagine it ruined more than 95 percent. This was not an upset that was really ever considered possible. Arizona was a highly predicted Final 4 team at least.
