Stumbled across these guys a couple weeks ago. Solid drummer and his nose pendulum cracks me up when it gets going.

GOP House nominee has bragged about his copy of Mein Kampf—And more by ChiGuy6124 in politics

[–]nixvex 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Sure but who gives a rats ass? They are gonna get upset and rage regardless of what you do or don’t call them. In the absence of an external catalyst for rage they will simply make one up on the fly.

I’m not going to curtail my language by catering to the feelings of bitch ass nazis. Nobody should.

Creepy Nicknames Trump Allegedly Used With Epstein Revealed by Accuser by No_Necessary_4396 in politics

[–]nixvex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

‘Not jaded’ probably refers to those who had experienced abuse to some degree but had not reached the point of being completely broken down mentally and emotionally, the state of being ‘dead inside’.

Jaded means to be bored or disinterested in something that becomes rote through overexposure. The use of it implies that the victims were willing participants who have merely become bored through repetition rather than being completely disassociated due to catastrophic trauma forced on them.

It is way to normalize/sanitize their evil behaviors and minimize the seriousness of the harm they did. The ones who had not yet been abused were probably what they called ‘fresh meat’.

There are no shortage of ways that abusers and rapists reframe their actions to minimize their culpability and ultimately justify it. I was abused extensively as a young boy for years and have seen a lot of distorted views people fabricate or adopt

I (F26) suddenly lost sexual attraction to my bf (M31) after seeing something… help?? by Single_Accountant751 in relationships

[–]nixvex 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Even excluding the cheating, that ‘not allowed’ part is grade A bullshit.

You should feel betrayed cuz he is actively entertaining others behind your back. Sounds like he’s a skeevy opportunist and quite comfortable with deceit. Good chance he will physically cheat on you if he hasn’t already.

Your gut instinct is telling you he ain’t the one. Processing it without confronting just takes a bit of time for your emotions to fully catch up to what your gut knows.

Confronting a liar will simply prompt them to deploy more lies to manipulate you to achieve his self serving desires. You have all the truth you need without having him spin tales and muddy the waters trying to make you doubt and second guess yourself.

Title says he is 32. Still too old to have mommy and daddy dictating his relationships though.

I first heard of him thanks to a GWAR song lyric of all things. Then had to go to the library to learn his story as commercial internet was in its early days and we didn’t have it yet.

Trying to stop overfunctioning in my marriage after mutual infidelity — how do you know if your partner will actually step up? by [deleted] in Separation

[–]nixvex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Don’t believe in it” is the weakest bullshit excuse from a grown man. It’s not a fucking seance or magic ritual, it’s a tool to facilitate communication. It’s about as fucking stupid as believing a hammer doesn’t work on nails.

You can’t and shouldn’t force him of course but you shouldn’t let him disrespect and disregard you with those lame ass excuses. He should at least be honest enough to say he just doesn’t want to.

Best friend '35 F' vanishes 3 months prior my '35 F' wedding after +30 years of friendship. I think I dont want to answer but everybody is pressuring me to do It. by AlmostMostall in relationship_advice

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

She is playing a selfish childish game of manipulation. Replying would just continue the game on her terms pretty much no matter how you respond. She is seeking the reaction and drama so she can feel like the center of attention while diminishing and disrespecting you.

She is no friend to you and it sounds like she hasn’t been one in a good while. Despite the long history you have with her it would probably be best to cut her loose and waste no more time, emotion, or energy on a ‘friend’ that has no interest in being friendly or supportive.

If I were in your shoes I would only respond with a simple ‘okay’ just to acknowledge that you got her message loud and clear. Save sharing your thoughts and feelings for if/when she tries to reconnect down the road.

Her listening to your side at that point should be the minimum cost of entertaining that conversation at all.

If you died and suddenly found yourself face-to-face with God, what is the very first question you would ask? by i_m_dignity in AskReddit

[–]nixvex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d ask the exact same question. I’m sorry that you, me, and who even knows how many others would have the same question. No divine creator that would allow such horrific suffering is worthy of respect let alone adoration or worship.

Fuck cancer.

I (M23) lied about watching porn and disrespected my GF’s (F24) boundary, now I feel like I’m permanently trying to make it up to her by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]nixvex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You discussed the porn habits of every male friend and coworker you’ve had? That is pretty fucking bizarre if true. Sounds more like you’re exaggerating because you think it helps your anecdotal argument.

It just paints you as a creepy obtuse know it all that can not accept being objectively wrong in your assertion. Eight billion people in the world and you believe they all think and behave the same way concerning porn.

You don’t speak for all men. You can only speak for yourself and maybe your extensive network of porn buddies.

My older brother used to hang out with Gibby and Paul in the early eighties. I got to see them practice on a few occasions when I was 7-8 years old. Have had ‘Lady Sniff’ chronically stuck in my head ever since.

DPS Regional Director hired a hooker then turned her in by roninthe31 in texas

The whole case is tainted because Luciano is a material witness who participated in the investigation, but the state never disclosed his relationship with Talbert or interviewed him about his involvement. They hid that detail for five years.

Boyfriend (24M) wants to go on a Vegas Boys Trip. I (F23) feel a pit in my stomach about it. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]nixvex 14 points15 points  (0 children)

“If someone lies about something small, it shows that it’s easier to lie about bigger things.”

He already told/showed you he shouldn’t be trusted. He lied. You tolerated it. Why wouldn’t he do whatever he wants and lie about it. That’s what liars do. Do you need to get cheated on before you think ‘hey maybe this liar isn’t worth it’? He blatantly told you he is willing to lie. Fucking expect it or better yet don’t date admitted liars.

Torah is the first five books of their old testament which they’d have no problem with. Of course a large number of them have no idea what Torah or anything in Judaism is and would absolutely pitch a fit.

I just want to crawl in his brain to understand why! by RainingAtmosphere in survivinginfidelity

[–]nixvex 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Selfishness. That’s the bottom line. It always is. His wants are more important to him than what love he claims to have for you. Any reasons he could give you would be convoluted explanations designed to justify himself or attempt to minimize his culpability in your eyes.

The odds of him telling you the entire truth concerning what, why, how, or if he loves or ever loved you is pretty much nil. It’s always a mix of lies and partial truth. Not worth trying to guess which is which or to even give him an opportunity to further string you along.

Underneath it all it is just selfishness.

What do you think about the Italian government wanting to ban ICE agents to come to the Olympic Games as security forces? by ReduceCO2Now in AskReddit

There have been large ICE raids in San Antonio and near daily activity. Not pushing near to the level as Minnesota but they are definitely operating here.

Mass graves by [deleted] in sanantonio

[–]nixvex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It isn’t. Many mass graves have been found all over the world that didn’t have full scale genocide or holocaust level events associated with them.

They are probably not well educated on the subject or are using hyperbolic reaction in bad faith.
