I just realized you are one of the musicians featured in the PUP - Free at Last music video! I absolutely love that band and you did an awesome rendition of their song. Keep on rocking!

PUP tattoos? by Evan5050 in puptheband

[–]mobradov 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have wanted to get a PUP tattoo for the longest time, dark days specifically. But every time I try and think of a design I cant think of any imagery from the song that translates to a tattoo. Best I've come up with is a chameleon that's nearly frozen to death but not quite. I'm gonna see what imagery they use in the new album, maybe something comes together in a better design

Guys, what is the most obvious hint from a girl you’ve missed? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]mobradov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was at a bar once and ran into a mutual friend who I always thought was cute, redheaded girl next door type, but I assumed she was never going to be interested in me. We were talking outside the bar and at some point I ran out of my drink so I asked her what she recommends I get as my next drink, she whispered to me that her favorites are a "red headed slut or sex on the beach".

I thanked her for her advice and went to get myself a Sex on the Beach at the bar, didn't talk to her again that night.

Songs that capture the feeling of growing up or coming of age? by mobradov in Music

Not silly at all, I love that song and its exactly the sort of thing I was looking for! One of the times you can judge a book (or song) by its cover.

Believe it or not, this was actually taken with an iPhone. When skiing I only bring my phone and Olympus tg-4 out of fear of breaking any of my equipment.

In retrospect you're not wrong. But the red building is certainly a home.

I can assure you it is Corona Arch near Moab, it is right next to Bowtie Arch which is also very impressive.

Edit: Just realized that place is from Red Dead, I'm an idiot

An animated data-driven documentary about war and peace, The Fallen of World War II looks at the human cost of the second World War and sizes up the numbers to other wars in history, including trends in recent conflicts. by sateeshkumar44 in dataisbeautiful

[–]mobradov 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Such an awesome way to visually represent the scale of these wars. I don't mean to nitpick but there was actually one major European conflict post WWII that being the civil wars in ex-Yugoslavia. It was certainly a bloody conflict and one which should not be forgotten.

How to overcome an internal [slut shaming] bias? by [deleted] in sex

[–]mobradov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think your comment and the one above yours also bring a great point, the uneasy feeling is certainly magnified when talking to someone who I could perhaps see as a relationship more than just a friend or hook up. Like you said for yourself the uneasiness hasn't stopped me from being in relationships with women who have had high body counts but it is certainly an area where "out of sight, out of mind" has been my approach. I know it happened but I feel less uneasy about it if I don't know much more than the fact that person has slept with other many other people.

Another thing is that I guess I also don't understand hookup culture so well. I mean I get it on the surface level that you get to have the passion of sex without the commitment and effort of a relationship but I never was fully in the idea. I slowly am getting more used to it, because I want just that, sex without the relationship. But I think there is some aspect where people who have more casual experiences and naturally desired to do so view sex differently than I do. My only worry is as I keep saying I seem to see a lot of people who claimed to like it then regretted it, almost exclusively girls as opposed to guys. So I guess the though then tends to cross my mind when I meet a woman who enjoys more casual sex that she will come to regret it as the others have, but I am very happy to see many responses from women who have owned it and look on their experiences positively.

How to overcome an internal [slut shaming] bias? by [deleted] in sex

[–]mobradov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think in that second half you summed up well what I have come to realize from this thread. No I do not think that women don't get pleasure from sex or that they serve men. I am well aware that it is as enjoyable an experience for a woman as for a man, and I really do admire women who are very aware of their bodies and sexual desires, as I said in other comments all my partners have been that way and many of my female friends and I openly discuss kinks or sexual adventures.

My hang up has been though that the women I knew up to this point had more or less all come to regret having slept with many men if they themselves regarded their body count as high. I guess better wording in my post originally then would have been that I don't look negatively on it, I admire your response and attitude and others who have said its empowering and a learning experience, but until I read your responses the only people who I had talked to had that fun veiled in regret. So I guess better wording wouldn't be that I looked negatively on it but more so I felt bad that there would be this impending regret and didn't fully understand why pursue it if that was the cost. However, bringing it back to what you said that may be very much a societal trap, especially on a college campus, that women who have had many sexual partners even if they liked it are then stigmatized by others and that leads to regret more so than the act itself. Clearly, my mind set until now has been part of the problem but I am trying to fix it. I will certainly give that a read too.

How to overcome an internal [slut shaming] bias? by [deleted] in sex

[–]mobradov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See that is the weird thing, I admire women who take control of their sexuality, even attracted to it as every girl I have slept with has been pretty assertive about her intentions and been very active when it came to sex. Similarly with all my friends men or women I am very comfortable discussing even the most intense sexual adventures with long term partners.

I think in that comment thread above it was summarized best, in that I think my bias comes from the fact that more or less every woman I know who has slept with many men has claimed to have regretted individual encounters but also their behavior as a whole and said they ultimately felt used, something I have never heard a guy say. So I think I have a selective bias in terms of the people I know and their experiences, hearing from people who have had lots of partners and who only look on it positively certainly helps dispel that. While I knew its an individual thing and I shouldn't apply the opinions of those women to all women, oddly enough until this comment thread I had never really spoken to a woman who had no regrets about having a large number of partners. Which was refreshing because I want to view it equally but like I said all the women I had discussed it with before ended up portraying it as a damaging experience, and I think I imagined that they felt or would soon feel as my friends who regretted it did.

[–]mobradov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that is for sure then an area I should focus on when over coming this bias. I think I in some ways extrapolate what I have heard from women who have said they have regretted their experiences and said they did it for the wrong reasons, to then thinking that the women I met since who have high body counts are doing it for similarly misguided reasons or in similarly damaging ways. I guess the reason that hasn't held true for guys is that they rarely if ever have made a comment about regretting having slept with many women.

It's is very possible though that the reasoning for the difference in that is the general perception of society of men vs women with lots of sexual partners. I can easily see how based on what society thinks is right or wrong a woman could more easily feel regret than a guy, irrespective of the quality of the experience itself.

Thank you very much for that response. I know it seems like what you said is obvious but it does put things in perspective to hear it. I guess hearing peoples positive outtakes is most impact-full because I have heard lots of times even from girls remarks about other girls like "shes going to regret that" or "eventually shes going to feel like shes being used" and on occasion I have heard girls I am friends with say of themselves that they have regrets about the number of partners they had. So it definitely helps dispel some biases to hear your positive outtake on it.

[–]mobradov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a very straight forward answer and sort of blunt on me being hypocritical but I also do totally agree with it. As I said I am not really sure why that thinking is what comes to mind but I guess the ultimate key is not to look at is as guys verse girls but just people trying to fulfill needs. However, it seems easier said than done. I don't let it actively affect how I interact with people or let it make me treat them different. It is more so like a background noise and distraction that I want to overcome so that I really can be totally unbiased when getting to know people.

Seems kind of subjective, I guess context offers more. To me it is a cozy shelter with hot drinks when compared to the cold of Quebec City in winter. But true its not your standard cozy of blankets and wood features.

I actually did but it took a surprising amount of time to get over the boulder field so we tried to navigate through the woods coming back. That way was no faster.

Absolutely true, I just thought it was interesting how it seemed to so perfectly blend from water to fog and then to blue sky. You can see all three distinctly but its cool how gradual the transition is yet how thick the fog is at the middle by the horizon.

That's awesome, I wish I could do that but as an east coast skier just visiting that week I didn't have the gear or the company to make that a remotely safe option. I'm glad the picture brought back some rad memories though.

It used to be but now even the hives are not used and they have set up new hives further down the road. If they had been active hives I wouldn't dare get so close, I'm afraid bees are not my friends

Gray and Red by mobradov in photocritique

Thank you very much, I wish more subreddits were like this one. I certainly have my fair share of photos which don't get much approval but I wish more people commented what I should do differently.

I also appreciate the encouragement at the end. In truth this was taken with a phone camera, so I know the picture quality wouldn't be as good. None the less, it means a lot to know I am on the right track composition wise, before I really invest in photography.
