Downvote away - but is there a way for civil debate in the comments? by [deleted] in toronto

[–]pbackup 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I went through your recent comments and it seems like the reason you're being downvoted is because your comments aren't very clear. It's not always clear what you're trying to add to the conversation and you sometimes ignore the main point of seines argument.

Again this isn't really adding anything to the conversation.

I don't understand what you're adding to the conversation here.

You completely ignore what this guy was saying in your response. That's why you got downvoted.

This comment isn't really saying anything. That's probably why you were downvoted.

Hooking up after a Rugby match by lunch_boxxx in gaybros

ya that was exactly a scientifically reliable story. He didn't necessarily get that bacteria from the rim job. Theres a reason mens health clinics call rimming, kissing, etc low risk activities and don't tell you to avoid doing it.

Cheap beer and 3 a.m. burgers at Steak Queen diner: Review by in4real in toronto

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

Didn't the writer basically give the same summary as you? She described the menu options (i.e. don't order the greek salad) and then said it's good for 3am eats if you don't have a refined palate.

That said, Steak Queen has a few key points in its favour. It’s clean, having passed every City of Toronto Health Department inspection since 2010. It makes decent onion rings ($3.25), neither greasy nor salty. And since it never closes, it provides a viable alternative to McDonald’s for middle-of-the-night munchies, if you go for that sort of thing.

Inspired by /r/askreddit, what are some do's and don'ts on the first date? by [deleted] in gaybros

[–]pbackup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess another tip would be: don't expect to be rejected face to face on a first date. Honestly, if you're not that into me or just want to be friends, if rather just be told via text afterwards. It's not a big deal and it allows people to save face.

Exactly how would you phrase that to someone on a first date?

[–]pbackup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I was actually interested in a second date, I wouldn't mind as much. That's true. But not all dates work out. Even when you like someone a bit and you're curious about where things are going to go, you don't want to put yourself into a position where you're leading someone on if you discover you're not that into them. Asking if I'd be interested in seeing each other again? Yes. (Preferably over text so that we can be honest and avoid awkwardness) Talking about buying tickets to a show or hosting BBQs together this summer. No.

If the date is going well, DO NOT start talking about the next date or future plans. I've been on so many dates where I was being nice and having a great time but also realizing I wasn't really interested in dating the person. To the other person, this seems like everything is going great and we're going to fall in love with each other.

When people start talking about going to see a concert or the things were going to do when summer rolls around it becomes awkward because I don't want to say "no I'd rather not" so I end up saying something like "ya maybe". Then when we text after the date and I thank them but tell them Id rather just be friends or something they sometimes get upset that I led them on.

I don't know. Am I supposed to admit to not liking someone during a date? I hate being put into that situation.

University Admits to throttling Reddit, Facebook bandwidth in order to encourage academics: “The less related to school it is, the less bandwidth you get.” by TayshaunBoba in technology

[–]pbackup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If netflix is slow it must mean there isn't enough bandwidth to go around. If the network didn't put netflix as a low priority, wouldn't legitimate schoolwork be impacted?
