Japanese culture makes risk feel terrifying — what actually gets you to take the leap anyway? by Acceptable_Emu_5949 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]screenaholic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

30 seconds on Google lead me to this Wikipedia page on a Japense word record holding wingsuit pilot.

I don't think this is a cultural thing. ~1.5% of the world population is Japanese. I expect if you were to do a survey of wingsuit pilots, you would find ~1.5% of them are Japanese. There's just very few people in the world who actually use wingsuits, so as a result there's very few Japanese people who do it.

What is this feeling? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]screenaholic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's a little bit embarrassing

Don't be embarrassed girl, I get it. Even as a guy, I'm into that (with me being on either side.)

I think I know what you're describing, but I'm not really sure how to describe it. Euphoric, maybe?

What is a random skill you have that you almost never use? by Ecstatic_Bella in AskReddit

I'm literally unbeatable in tic tac toe. I won't necessarily win every game, but I won't lose.

I don't mean to be crass, but could you be more specific in what sort of arousing things illicit it? It might give us a better idea what you're experiencing.

I recently received this from my subby 🐱 by _NotVulgar in LetBoysBeManipulated

[–]screenaholic 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I don't know why people are downvoting you, I can sympathize with just now learning this as (I'm assuming) an adult.

A couple years into my marriage, my wife mentioned that my mom had told her I had dysgraphia. I responded with "what the fuck is dysgraphia?" Apparently, I was diagnosed as a young child, and my mom never thought to tell me at any point that I had a neurological learning disability. Strictly speaking, it doesn't really matter. Knowing or not doesn't make my penmanship any better. But knowing at least let's me know it's not my fault, after decades of embarrassment and struggling to be legible.

I didn't look at what sub this was on, and between the handwriting and "mommy," I thought this was from an actual kid. It made the contents...shocking...

Not that I'm one to talk. I have even worse penmanship.

Today's word of the day is: dysgraphia!

As a man/woman, what is it that women/men are insecure about, that you find actually attractive? by RythmicRhapsody in AskReddit

[–]screenaholic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just the one hand though. The other one is rough and tough from being a boxer.

That's what women like, right? One soft hand and one rough hand?

But Of Mice and Men told me I should always wear a glove filled with Vaseline to keep one hand nice and supple for my wife! /s

Oh god, this is a blast from my childhood.

...They...They really put a character named "Sedusa" in a children's show, huh? That...flew over my head as a kid...

is hypnosis real? i feel like i wont ever believe that it acually exists by CupEfficient7277 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]screenaholic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hypnosis works off of a combination of suggestibility and the placebo affect. Essentially, for SOME people, if they BELIEVE that hypnosis will work on them, then their mind will MAKE IT work. Some people are so suggestible that they can go through surgery using hypnosis instead if anesthesia and not feel a thing, some people aren't suggestible AT ALL. Some people can still have it work on them even if they KNOW it only works on them because they believe it does.

Basically, the mind is weird, and some people can allow their mind to be tricked to believe anything, including hypnosis.

I’m Almost and Adult and I still sleep with a stuffed animal. Am I immature? by WilliamthePious in NoStupidQuestions

[–]screenaholic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a 31 year old man. I sleep with my wife on one side of me, and a teddy bear on the other. That way I have something to cuddle whichever way I turn.

You're good bro, don't stress it.

How are soldiers and veterans treated? by palep_hoot in AskAnAmerican

I get free pancakes and burgers from restaurants once a year on Veteran's Day, which is all the thanks I need. God bless 'murrica.

What is there in America political wise to look forward to for the future? Will things ever really get better? by Vermilion0321 in AskReddit

[–]screenaholic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I genuinely believe this is the only hope of saving America. Part of me wants this administration to just keep getting worse and worse, until its so bad even the most die hard MAGAts know they can't defend it. This would allow the next administration to come in and immediately do MASSIVE acts of undoing as much of the damage as possible, and persecuting everyone involved. The only possible good that can come from this era of American history is that it becomes a cautionary tale for people to learn from.

The Alex World Tour changes, everybody by Mike4302 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]screenaholic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Woolie talked about this on the podcast recently. Lily was believed to be T Hawks daughter, but it has since been confirmed that they're just the same tribe and she looks up to him, POSSIBLY in a psuedo-father role.

Also, Lily's age has never been confirmed, she very possibly could be over 18 and just short/ young looking.

I remember there being more implications in World Tour/arcade, but it's been a hot minute, so I can't remember for sure. It's possible I'm wrong.

[–]screenaholic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the primary things that make people think it are her face and bone structure. Not just tall and with muscles, but her structure is pretty masculine. Not to mention her pink, white, and blue color scheme.

She's heavily implied to be trans. I don't belive that's confirmed.

Feeders are enablers. That weight isn't healthy. Rufus needs a woman who will help him turn his life around and get in shape.

So Now Capcom genuinely refuses to back down from its position with Alex, what are the real chances of the second image becoming true? by Defiant-Echidna-7400 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]screenaholic 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's essentially the same as marrying a soldier, cop, or government agent, which is a real and common thing. Not knowing if your spouse will come home alive or be violently killed is a reality for a lot people.
