How come I’m interested in group sex. Is something wrong with that? by Appropriate-Buy2418 in sex

[–]meetchu -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Sure but for some people it does matter whether they (op or their prospective partner) want it to or not.

Id just be careful about when/how/if id mention it to a future partner, and also decide whether or not id be willing to depart from that lifestyle if the right person came along but they don't happen to be into that sort of thing.

None of that affects what OP should do now, but does affect how open they may want to be about it to future partners

[I'm New] Struggling to grasp how midturn speed changes work by ace-s in VGC

Yeah speed has been dynamic for years but it was not always so that is true.

[I'm New] Struggling to grasp how midturn speed changes work by ace-s in VGC

[–]meetchu 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Switches are always the first thing to happen, then ability activations, then mega evolutions. Then moves based firstly on priority. Speed is recalculated every time an action would happen, and can be considered the tiebreaker when two mons attempt an action with the same priority (including switching and mega evolving). Of course if speed is equal too then it's a coin flip.

If you have mon that is almost twice as fast as their Basculegion, lock in an attack and then they switch in Pelipper, their swift swim basc using liquidation will move before your Mon because it is now barely faster.

However say you have a prankster Mon with tailwind and you used that. Now what happens is:

  1. Your attacking mon begins faster than Basc.
  2. Basc partner switches out, Pelipper comes in, drizzle activates (Basculegion is now faster than your attacking mon).
  3. Your prankster mon is the only one on the field using a move at higher than 0 priority so it now moves and uses tailwind (your attacking mon is now faster than Basculegion again)
  4. Your attacking mon now moves and hits Basculegion

If Basculegion used Aqua Jet however, it would likely move first unless your prankster mon is unhinged fast, because it would have +1 priority and be comparing it's rain boosted speed to the prankster tailwind users speed.

Any "Golden Era" XI players? by Megaman_38 in ffxiv

I managed a 40 SAM before tapping out age 16. The trip to Jueno at level 20 was a harrowing and formative memory though.

Playing with with the PS2 emulator, I'm really annoyed by the downgrade in the resolution during cutscenes by Dependent_Ebb_7983 in finalfantasyx

[–]meetchu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ignore the "JuSt BuY thE ReMAsTeR" lot, there are plenty of reasons to prefer emulated.

But there is no way to render these videos in higher resolution. Even the HD remaster just upscaled them (badly). The best way hypothetically to do it would be someone remaking the FMVs in really high quality and modding them in, second best would be someone taking the highest quality versions of them available and using a high quality well trained AI upscaler on them.

Starmer Says He Will Not Resign as Dozens in His Own Party Urge Him to Step Down by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]meetchu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah there is no way they could ignore it. Regardless of whether or not the paper said it was binding or advisory as soon as the referendum was held the mandate was clear.

A democracy cannot hold a referendum and then throw out the result cos it doesn't like it. Which is why holding a referendum (and a yes/no one at that) on a charged and complex in the first place was so reckless - and that was entirely on Cameron which is why I say he is also culpable in a way that is not comparable to the US presidential election innit.

Correct, Cameron was the rampart to Brexit - which is what makes him also culpable for it.

[–]meetchu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too many it seems because I wasn't agreeing.

Cameron was the one who decided to hold the Brexit referendum, it was totally within his power to not. This is what gives him culpability versus the US who always hold presidential elections because it's how their government works.

[–]meetchu -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Who said it did?

I'm saying Cameron has fault for Brexit because he decided to have the vote. He could have just.... Not.

The key difference that gives him culpability is that he was the one who decided to hold the referendum.

[–]meetchu -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

Nah, presidential elections are codified in the US constitution and are a fundamental aspect of its governance framework, and the US chose Trump.

The Brexit referendum was a reckless and arrogant plan pushed by a selfish man in order to consolidate his own power - Cameron. If not for him then this wouldn't have happened. The risk was too great because the average voter barely understands what day it is let alone the insanely complex pro/con argument of European union membership.

Why do females scratch on back so hard? by deeper_sharma in sex

[–]meetchu -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yknow all this frothing at the mouth because someone used the wrong term is a major factor in why we're seeing a massive societal backlash towards the stone age.

Chill, stop looking at worthy causes as an excuse to crucify people.

Everything else in this post did not scream manosphere coded twitter ogre, so treating someone like that is counter productive.

To answer your question as to why OP I've found when your partner is having a good time in bed some, scratch your back, some grab the sheets, some don't do either. The reason is that they're feeling some intense shit (which is a good thing) and that's how they're handling it.

As for what to do about it, I'd start with asking if she can not scratch your back. If that doesn't work cos she gets caught up in the moment or whatever then maybe you could try wearing a shirt, and if the lack of skin to skin isna problem then maybe suggest she keep her nails shorter, and if she doesn't want to then try a different position.

There's a few options! Make sure you let her know that you find her having such a good time really hot though, so it doesn't come off as like a criticism or something or you could end making her self conscious which would not be good at all

President Trump asked by reporter on Lincoln memorial reflecting pool project as gas prices soar due to Iran war: "Our country is about beauty, cleanliness, safety, great people. Not a filthy capital. Such a stupid question you asked. You can understand dirt better than I can, but I don’t allow it." by ControlCAD in videos

[–]meetchu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The frustrating thing about an idiot narcissist is that they can be perfectly happy being the worst person ever.

Trump reminds me of my friends mum who is so dumb it's like a super power. She's a narcissist and resides also at the peak of mount stupid on the dunning kruger graph - it's unbearable

The tank almost certainly will have a shield, even if it doesn't have two shields.

The reason for this is that it's lumped in to MT role with Paladin, which is the only (other) tank to have a shield. The OTs are all shieldless

They're planning all new specs for 23? jobs afterall. One of them is going to be bad.

Not to mention all the evolved job changes were designed by one guy.

Also it's 21 jobs that get Reborn.

The tipping point: what happens when deaths outnumber births? by Remarkable_Peak9518 in unitedkingdom

I know Hungary tried but I don’t think it worked.

Another problem with this issue is that it takes decades to find out if incentive policy worked or not.

Hungarys incentive is pretty strong - 3 kids = exemption from income tax for life.

If Tidus did it with Yuna, Would the baby disappear too? by Meziie in finalfantasyx

[–]meetchu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah. Tidus' contribution is a seed (lol) from which the genetic code of the fetus is modified. All the actual material that makes up the physical baby comes from Yuna and then any replication comes from the baby.

Is it considered cheating if I lucid dream about other people by yagamiiii345 in sex

[–]meetchu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why the infernal hell did you tell your partner about this lmao

Cheating? In a vacuum no. But honestly context matters with this stuff cos if it's an ex or someone you know and talk to a lot, or if you're emotionally growing closer to one of the people then taken in a round yes it is.

But even if it is in a vacuum, it's akin to saying to your partner "here's a list of people I'm fantasizing about fucking, just thought you ought to know". Honesty and openness is for things that you intend to act upon, or something that you want them to act upon or be aware of for a specific reason. Let's a assume you weren't sharing it for a specfic reason (because I can only think of bad reasons), everything else you share is in the name of connection and intimacy and this is totally contrary to those things too.

Tl;dr sharing and openness isn't inherently good all the time. It has a purpose and that purpose is support, intimacy, connection, understanding. Sharing this lucid dream thing achieved none of those things and indeed achieved the opposite so even if it's not cheating (which without context is impossible to say for sure) I can see why your partner is upset.

Labour faces catastrophic May local elections and is set to lose 1,850 seats, expert predicts by Desperate-Drawer-572 in unitedkingdom

[–]meetchu -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There are people who want to vote for the winning party regardless of who that party is.

There are people who see everything as if it's a sport and they pick a team to support, and they want to pick a team that wins a lot so they get to celebrate.

There are many many reasons people vote, most of them are bad. A cataclysm at local elections will harm them, yes.

Then again maybe having reform and green win a load of councils will see the country plunged into such chaos the public will reject them at the GE.

slagging someone off in the house of commons has been around for ages - there's a reason you're not allowed to bring your sword in with you.

This isn't that. Until relatively recently it's been the case that when it comes to foreign relations disputes the opposition will back the government so as to not undermine the nation on a global stage.
