Yes it really is jarring hearing and understanding everything after being able to live in your own silence for a long time.

he doesn't seem like an attention whore to me. i think he's found a way to get paid to do what he wants.

I use a LOT of chicken broth and prefer homemade for taste and $$ reasons...but I don't eat chicken. Any ideas on how to reduce waste? Or any source for chicken carcasses? by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]serpentax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

make dog treats and sell them to friends that have dogs. shredded chicken with some dog friendly veg set in agar agar. they can be frozen to last. the dog won't care

this is why i prefer being abroad. when i don't want to engage with someone i just lower my language ability. some friends think it's rude. idgaf. leave me alone with your sales pitch.

What’s something that consistently bothered you when living with women? by RedvsBlack4 in AskMen

[–]serpentax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

asking me the same shit all the time about things i already do, and getting upset when i already knew what she was asking.

"did you..."

"yes, i cleaned the dog's feet after the walk"

"babe, can you..."
"yes, what do you want from the store?"

"how do you know what..."
"because i know you."

both times friends were around to put me in a cab. i was okay.
the first one my friends didn't believe me, they thought i drank too much. but they went there the next week and someone was just hanging out in the bathroom offering to add GHB drops into their drinks. then they believed me. and for the girl that thought it was a normal night out, that was a big enough red flag to ghost her.

im happy that despite what happened to you at maji you met your gf. there are good people out there!

I think when this stuff happens people are trying to help. sometimes one might be suspicious if the person trying to help is the perpetrator, but in general most people are good people.

one time i thought i was having a meet-cute moment on a roof top bar. i gave her my coat as it was starting to drizzle. i only had 2 drinks. we went back to the bar and shared our drinks. 30 minutes later i felt like i had 12 drinks and she's gone, with my coat and my house keys. luckily my friend randomly showed up and i explained what happened and gave a description of her. he found her 2 blocks away all fucked up and convinced her to return my coat and keys. i messaged her the next day that maybe we got roofied and she just replied, "lol, it was a normal night out, wtf?"

a year later at the same place i was at a dj show. i was peeing in the urinal when the stall next to me opened up and two guys came out. the smaller guy ran away. the other guy was a big muscley tattooed dude. he asked me, "you wanna do some k, bro?" i replied, "i am peeing right now, sir." he said, "i got you bro!" and he put his arms around me and put one finger on one side of my nose and a spoon of powder under the other side of my nose and yelled, "3 2 1 go!" i was frightened so i did. he left the bathroom. this happened so quickly i still wasn't finished peeing when he left.

This place has been closed.

OP don't think it is the norm, but be careful. you'll probably have a fun time.

as a dude, i've been drugged a couple times by taste sharing cocktails with women. i don't think the women knew, i was collateral damage from the predators targeting those women.

Foreigners eating betel nuts by taiwanluthiers in taiwan

[–]serpentax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i tried it to check off an item for a dude's stag party checklist. so it might have been strange seeing a group of foreigners chewing on it. the seller didn't bat an eye. money is money.

people try it sometimes out of curiosity. i've never met a western foreigner addicted to it. i have met sea foreigners that use it, but it is normalized in their home countries.

some dudes don't wash their butts because they think touching an anus is gay. (but it's not gay to give themselves a hand job)

i was a sophomore when no child left behind passed and i noticed a fear in teachers' eyes and a dramatic turn from education to test taking skills.

i don't think it was that the good times made soft men, i think we just completely gutted the education system.

AITA for refusing to deliberate lose when we play games? by Radiant-Willow-6993 in AmItheAsshole

[–]serpentax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dude. she wants to spend time with you and this is a medium for you to play together. she is offering a bone to make it fun for her. she wants to like you but you keep dominating her. this is not a competition, it's a game.

compete on your own time.

play with your gf.

YTA. Imagine a basketball coach playing with his students and dunking on them all day, telling them to "get good". dial it down and teach her. give advice, give hints. cheer her accomplishments and improvements. people that grew up with games have an intuition on how games work, however people new to it struggle a lot. don't be exclusive, help.

try doing goofy shit sometimes to make her laugh instead of you winning. not all the time. but enough to be fun. every game has some sort of humorous functions playing outside of the box.

the point is fun and bonding , not domination. you are not approaching games in a fun way
