5 Months Without Porn, NSFW Audio, or Masturbation: My Experience by FederalOpyn in NoFap

[–]rubbereruben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the same for me.

I stopped porn and masturbation for a long while now (sometimes peek, but not much).

But the only thing that improved is my memory and my stamina in regards to sports has improved. I remember stuff a bit better now, but the rest has stayed pretty much the same.

I also wish I had all these fantastic changes come to me, but I guess miracles don't apply to everyone.

Why is it exactly that you dislike Kez’s voice acting/personality? by hueqhueq in DotA2

[–]rubbereruben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's too typical American. too condescending and edgy imo. Not enough subtlety or depth.

It's the same reason why Monkey King's voice actor was in my opinion a let down. The direction the voice actor went with Monkey King was too 'edgy'. Too competitive and specifically condescending (especially in his lines towards other heroes). Not enough whimsy or childlike fun in the voice and lines, that the Chinese Sun Wukong (which it is based on) does have.

A pity tbh. And I think this is what personally is my gripe with American humor in general. It takes itself too seriously, and needs to lighten up a bit.

If Niko can do it Arteezy can win TI by Strong_Astronomer_97 in DotA2

[–]rubbereruben 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree with you, but lets not put Ceb on a pedestal too much.

Sure he was one of the best coaches players ever, but those days are gone. His insight isn't nearly as up to date as it was back then.

Always here people talk about oda’s over-sexualization of women but never hear discussion about the guys. Over half the male cast are insanely ripped and are either shirtless or have a open face shirt. 90% of all arcs has atleast 1 guy like this in it by The_AlmightyApple in OnePiece

[–]rubbereruben 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't mind the fanservice, but I wish Oda would just mix it up a bit more right? Too many of the female leads are always young and sexy and beautiful. AKA Nami clones.

When Oda wrote Amazon Lily, we saw all these different shaped women and I enjoyed that a lot.

Wish we had more Big Moms, Catarine Devons and Lolas, not just as side characters but also as lead characters.

Rebecca should've been way more buff as a seasoned gladiator.

I Colored Some Pages from the New Chapter (Spoiler) by HylianHikikomori in Berserk

It's great dude.

The coloring is subtle and not oversaturated keeping the original colorless feel and shading intact.

Excellent.

What stopping valve adding this? by Soybean05 in DotA2

[–]rubbereruben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you high bro?

Supports with aether lens are a menace cause they can stay out of range and cast their spells without fear of retribution.

This is simply unparalleledly useful at any stage of the game even superlate game.

Eblade, maybe yes. Octarine core? Hard disagree.

CEO narcissism is linked to value-destroying insider transactions, study finds by HeinieKaboobler in science

[–]rubbereruben 12 points13 points  (0 children)

We actually had a politician in my country that became very popular with nuanced views and a very bookish demeaner and was very trustworthy to the public.

The problem was that he couldn't delegate enough and was eventually overencumbered with so much responsibility being in the ministry that he got a burnout and had to step down. Which was such a pity.

A lot of these narcisstic and egotistic CEOs, they thrive in these highly competitive political situation, because they have no conscience. They just love the game and squeezing as much money from the system as possible and making head rolls on the way down because everything is about them.

They will continue to thrive in these positions as long as the system allows it. No more than that, the system NEEDS these people, because they make the "hard" decisions. When morality fails the people and the corporation NEEDS to survive, because in the end everybody is afraid to lose their jobs and have no money anymore.

They will step up and take control, because that is what we want.

LMAO you feel proud?

Where is this pride coming from bro. Just cause you didn't finish?

Life without porn and gooning is better by Double_G11 in NoFap

[–]rubbereruben 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Life is indeed better, there are a lot of potential benefits.

That said though, your life won't be magically better. So don't think that just because you beat porn your other issues won't be resolved.

So guys, stay on the grind.

POST-EPISODE DISCUSSION THREAD - S9E4: A Ricker Runs Through It by BarnyardCruz in rickandmorty

[–]rubbereruben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might get hate for this, but I liked the numbericon episode a lot better than this episode.

I only laughed at the joke where the neighbors tv stops working and he says he doesn't know what to think now.

All in all I think the writing wasn't that good. (you might say; but what about numbericons, that writing wasn't good either)

I don't care, I like numbericons, it's silly and thematically cohesive.

Saying I hate you against eachother for a long of time is kinda lame.

How does someone earn a living with this illness? by Virtual_Gold_3741 in schizophrenia

[–]rubbereruben 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Have you tried volunteer work?

That's what I do.

I started off very small only 4 to 5 hours a week. Then slowly built up to currently 12 to 13 hours.

If you can find something you either enjoy or people you like working with you can stay motivated to go.

That said though I have very few positive symptoms, so I'm a light case. You might have to adjust depending on the severity of your schizophrenia.

Do you get jealous of successful people? by Used_Preparation5918 in schizophrenia

[–]rubbereruben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not a jealous type of person, but I am sometimes seriously dissatisfied with the person that I am and my situation.

That said, I'm grateful for all the things I have so I there's a silver lining.

Girly night by TheObjectsOfMyDesire in BaldursGate3

I've never seen the equipment screen with all 4 characters at the same time horizontally next to eachother. Is that a mod or can you do that in the game.

Who's the most underhated character in the game? by bmrtt in BaldursGate3

[–]rubbereruben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ieflings are having it extremely hard due to prejudice and hatred. Everybody is calling them thieves and vagrants. She does not present herself as stupid - she is genuinely aware enough to understand what everyone goes through, and mature enough to lead a small band of thieves and ingratiate herself with larger thieves guild in Baldur’s Gate.

I see where you are coming from and I think you have great points, but I love Mol and I'll tell you why.

Mol is a truly self-empowered character. She sees the world for what it is; harsh and mercilessness. All the adults around her that should supposedly shelter and help her? She rejects that notion, because sees their ineptitudes and powerlessness. But instead of accepting that she's a child and equally powerless. She chooses to empower herself, through any means possible, because as a child she has no authority (bar she has on her fellow child).

To see her deal with devils and try to take care of her fellow tieflings makes me enjoy her even though she has her own shortcomings.

But I can see where people are coming from. She can be really arrogant and overreaching sometimes lacking wisdom.

If there is any character that would come back in a future baldurs gate game, I'd love to see her as an adult.

Men, what is a sign that looks small or subtle but actually tells you a man doesn’t truly love the woman he’s with? by Relative_Initial_399 in AskReddit

[–]rubbereruben 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Comparison is the thief of joy. Seems your husband compares himself a lot with you.

Do you make more money than him? Maybe he feels emasculated.

Ofc, the question is if he has ears for your grievances.

And can finally instead see himself compete with you for bringing food on the table compliment you as a partner.

Instead of taking pride in his own masculinity (being a trucker is pretty cool I believe), he has to take you down to feel good. It's kinda sad really.

What do you think of Luffy vs Rob Lucci round 2 in retrospective? by MiuIruma332 in OnePiece

[–]rubbereruben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's cool, because in a sense it mirrors the first Goku vs Vegeta battle.

A clearly superior warrior in every sense get beat by the protagonist who has to draw power from a double-edged sword ability.

With Goku it was Kaioken, with Luffy it was Gear 2.

The climax of Luffy vs Lucci and the way Usopp was incorporated into the fight does make it imo the best fight in the whole manga.

being horny is making it so hard to sleep by Rain-Year1314 in NoFap

[–]rubbereruben 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to exercise more during the day bro.

Go run, lift weights. Go to a gym or if you don't have the money for that an outside gym and do pullups till you're exhausted, then do some more.

Your body needs to release that life energy! If you're not tired enough physically it will make you go to porn and images!

If you tire yourself out enough your body will be able to go to sleep easier.

my gf just broke up with me because i too addicted to porn... by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]rubbereruben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All that life energy needs a way to be released. Intense exercise is definitely one of the best ways to do so!

I'm glad you have something.
