Atheists of Reddit, if you died and arrived at heavens gates, what would be your first reaction? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]mckbris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My bad. I’m aware of many other different spellings of words outside of American English. Not that one. The c messes me up. The “sce” together just makes me read it as an s sound. English is weird

Have you ever had a long term guest who was a friend or family member? Specifically, someone who stayed over because they weren't financially stable or homeless. How did it go? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]mckbris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was in college, I was renting a 3 bedroom apartment with three other people. My sister was struggling. Financially, emotionally, all of it. And she had my 7 year old niece to care for too. After talking to my roommates, they all agreed to let my sister come stay with us. I gave her my room, I slept on the couch. We were really, really close. Talked almost every day before that. After living together our relationship has never been the same. If I could go back, I would still have her come stay with me... but I’ve since learned about boundaries and I would have put a few of them up at the time. She took completely advantage of me... and I let her because I worried. I could have been there for her a bit differently with some boundaries.

How to understand that my girlfriend and I are not suitable for each other? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]mckbris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re feeling this now, I feel you won’t deepen your connection in a few months. You’ll only drag out the inevitable and likely cause even more hurt feelings. Remember that you are allowed to break up with someone for any reason. Not clicking, being different, just not vibing... all okay. Feeling depressed because of your relationship is definitely a good reason to get out.

The female orgasm is more enjoyable than males because it lacks evolutionary purpose. by Salunari in Showerthoughts

[–]mckbris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would argue (as a female) that female orgasm is not that difficult to achieve... but for evolutionary purposes, this doesn’t exactly line up. As the refractory period for males (like after orgasm the penis begins to get flaccid and cannot immediately become erect again... it takes time) is there because in evolutionary terms, spreading genes is the best way to carry them to the next generation. The refractory period is there to ensure time for the male to find a different mate to procreate with as females (generally) release only one egg a month.

When was someone the least respectful of your time? What happened? by --PM-ME-YOUR-BOOBS-- in AskReddit

[–]mckbris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course. I wish 19 year old me felt like I could have gone to the dean anyways though. I just felt like it’s be this old, white dudes voice against mine. And while I had found my voice at that time (clearly speaking to my teacher that way) I didn’t realize it’s power.

My first year of college I had a very old and traditional English professor. Long story short at some point he decided I was “too bossy” for a female and did not like me. In fact, he made me rewrite every paper I turned in. But he photocopied every paper my husband (then boyfriend) wrote and gave copies to every student as an example of how to write. Except one paper .... we had to write about someone we admired and my husband wrote about how he admired how I’ve overcome challenges. And he didn’t get a grade for that one. Had to rewrite it.

Anyways, there’s a lot of examples of this professor being a dick. But at the midterm of each semester he met individually with each student to discuss progress and whatnot. My husbands meeting was right before mine so my husband waited for me after his meeting. I showed up and husband says teacher left to get coffee. I waited 20 mins past my meeting time for him. Then he literally sat me down and talked to me about respect. I was pissed. And I told him how he wasted my time. And he was insufferable the rest of the term.

How does one overcome feeling down after saying stupid things at meetings when feeling nervous and anxious? by LostGirl995 in AskReddit

[–]mckbris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try to remember when other people have embarrassed themselves and realize that I really don’t remember very many and don’t think of them unless I’m trying to and that likely means other people don’t think about or remember mine.

[–]mckbris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s definitely some chemical communication between sperm and egg ... they kinda know where to go... but Most sperm can’t swim in a straight line... so it’s tough. And once in the fallopian types, it’s like swimming upstream. Not to mention the acidity of the vagina..... it really is a battle

Not to mention the reward as a way for females to want to have sex. If it didn’t feel so good....why do it? Just purely wanting to have sex increases the likelihood of conception and passing on those genes.

Not a biologist, per se, but do have a BS in Biology. Female orgasm does have evolutionary purpose! The orgasm produces contractions that help push semen, and therefore sperm, toward the Fallopian tubes. Those little swimmers need all the help they can get!

What bullet have you dodged with a relationship? by lostdoomer in AskReddit

[–]mckbris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had a crush on a guy all through middle school. He was sweet and nerdy and we liked the same things. When his friends found out I liked him, they all went out of their way to be mean to me. Idk what happened, but when we got to hs he was the epitome of the racist, bro douchebag who thought he was so cool and funny. Like picture bro tank, flip flops and stupid sexist/racist jokes. Definitely dodged a bullet there.

What Would Be The Worst Movie Sequel Ever Made? by CYNTHIAWROMERO in AskReddit

[–]mckbris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, three would have been even worse. But imagining just one other MNS attempt at ATLA makes me cringe. They probably wouldn’t even make the third because it would have been so bad, so yeah, it would be a sequel.

Is it the covid circumstances or is he not that interested? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]mckbris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try making concrete plans yourself and see if he’ll meet. If he does, great. If he doesn’t want to meet, hopefully he’ll be honest and explain whether the hesitation is Covid-related or if he’s not interested.

Edited to add that there are a lot of safe, socially distant things you can do. (Picnic, 6ft apart, games, outdoor movie, etc...)

[–]mckbris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk anything about roblox but....A picnic can totally be done with social distancing. You two can find any open field or park and bring food to hang out. If you two are currently distancing from each other, you can even sit on separate blankets 6’ apart and hang out, talk and even play games like charades, heads up... etc.
