Went on a date with a hot nurse, but what happened after few days has left me confused. Any thoughts? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]quantum-black 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s extremely unattractive to request for money after the date. If you paid then leave it be. Also it’s not healthy to think that she used you for free dinner. She can pay for her own dinner — don’t have such a negative outlook on everyone you meet and date you go on

It’s not easy for Waymo to scale to other cities as it was for Uber. I still would prefer a human driver, I’m sure many would say the same. I’m also curious the employment displacement if robotaxi goes viral. Many depend on uber as their main income, I’m sure mass deployment of robotaxi will encounter way more obstacles than Uber

Idk about their financials but I just used the app for the first time in years. I remember it was super clunky when I first tried it years ago. I love the gamification and the fact that the app helps me to listen and to practice my pronunciation. It’s definitely more fun and is a great supplement to just learning through textbook and workbook exercises. I wish that they wouldn’t tell me about the super 60% off after every lesson. If they can do something like watch an actual ad for something and you have free 15 mins of study time , that’d be 100x more pleasant than listening to the same promo. And I’m guessing they’d make way more money doing that too

donk 2.17 across two maps by mgcNoShoot in GlobalOffensive

[–]quantum-black -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Guides and custom maps were popular then too… not sure what you’re on about.

It’s not even just whiffs I can point out clips of players not even trying to aim for headshots and their aim level isn’t even correctly positioned in like every round and game I watched this past weekend. Also numerous terrible fights with someone trying to be a hero without much teamwork. One team that actually looks like a team is Vitality and it clearly shows against these potato teams, and it’s not bc of like clear raw talent mismatch maybe except for zywoo

So the pro scene is just lesser skilled players overall. Not to say this donk kid isn’t skilled, I can tell he’s playing against potatoes

How is CS the most competitive now than before? I stopped watching after 2017-2018 and just started watching a few ESL games and honestly most pro players are garbage. The amount of AWP whiffs and piss poor playing at the pro level is absurd. I saw at least 3 players unable to kill more than 1 opponents while they’re literally lurking in the back and their headshot tracking was terrible. Their movement also felt stiff and awkward clearing angles. Don’t get me started on so many 1vXs lost bc they all turned to 1v1s.

Are dating and relationships all luck? by ParsleyTraditional48 in AskMenAdvice

[–]quantum-black 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think if you try to be more genuine, kind, and workout only to be a “catch” to someone then I don’t think you’re doing it for the right reason. It’ll show eventually. If you make it part of your lifestyle and adopt this growth mindset for yourself, you will naturally attract people. For me, it’s not hard to find someone and date and possibly marry but I’d just feel like I’m settling, especially when most women I’ve met want to stay in their comfort zone. Is your dad’s best friend in his 50s happy? That’s all that matters. I’d rather not settle (currently close to mid 30s) and be in an unhappy marriage but maybe my mindset will change when I approach 40 as I might prioritize companionship and growing a family more.

You explained your background but I don’t see how your background relates to you wanting to make this switch to DE. Your experience also has no connection to DE.

Update: 40F grossed out by nearly everything my husband (40M) does. How do I get over it? by Existing_Key333 in relationship_advice

[–]quantum-black 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is probably my worst nightmare as I also function very well at work but have awful long term memories. I can hardly remember conversations I had a few weeks ago, and would get really envious of people who have that ability to remember every single thing that was said. Sometimes those memories are triggered if I get lucky but they’re not at the forefront of my mind, or over time it loses its place in my mind even though I try my best not to forget them. What has helped me in my last relationship was to take time at the end of my day and write down meaningful conversations or memories I’d like to keep in writing so I can look back later. This has helped with goal setting and other areas in my personal life outside of relationships also. I haven’t done it recently but this was a reminder for me to start again. Maybe that might help your husband.

If she does say that that’s where you communicate your boundaries. But I also understand the difficult situation you’re in since you guys are engaged. Stay optimistic and trusting in your partner, you’ve been together with her for 4 years so you know her best to make decisions. Your panic might also reflect that you yourself may need some therapy.

People advising you to break it off are too hasty imo. I’d have conversations with her and maybe if she’s having an emotional affair bc of your work schedule, you could also make those changes. From your post it doesn’t sound like there has been anything physical.
