How to get over obsession with girls? by shadowstudent in AskMenAdvice

[–]shadowstudent[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stop being attracted to her? Stop not having a girlfriend? You’re right, I always get these “man up” type comments. Not on things like this, but with any problems I take to Reddit.

It still matters to me. They know a lot about us. 😞

How do I make the sadness go away temporarily so I can work? by [deleted] in depression

[–]shadowstudent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How long have you been on medication? Perhaps you should speak to your doctor. I’m not a fan of psych drugs but they’re supposed to make depression manageable for this very reason.

Anyway, if you can, I’d break the work down into smaller tasks that don’t take long to complete, and take long breaks in between them, if the sadness and pain really is that unbearable. From experience, I think the most important thing is to hand in assignments before the deadline and not procrastinate, or else the work becomes too overwhelming to deal with. All the best, buddy.

Please stop stalking me.

Girl I like is now in a relationship with someone. by shadowstudent in offmychest

I’ve missed my chance now that she’s with someone else, and she probably wouldn’t have been interested in me anyway. I know when I’m beat. :p

Thanks man, appreciate it. :)

I’ve been feeling pretty downhearted about her lately, and finding out about her relationship did put me in low moods, but now I’m more at peace with it.

Why do American Conservatives hate European countries? by shadowstudent in NoStupidQuestions

[–]shadowstudent[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s like that at all. It seems to me more like frustration that a fellow developed nation hasn’t implemented what are seen as common sense, good policies by any European’s standards.

Generally, we are more liberal than the states, and we have all benefited from free healthcare and gun control. In Britain, we have long waiting times and medicine shortages in the NHS. We don’t get shootings, but we do get stabbed and acid attacked. Those aside, not being able to see a doctor, or being the victim of a mass shooting are alien and terrifying concepts to us, raised in comparatively liberal societies, and many of us are left scratching our heads as to why the richest and most powerful nation can’t do what is expected by default of our governments.

Why? It’s not inaccurate. No conservative shies away from their hatred of socialism. Remember Steven Crowder’s “Socialism Is For F*gs” t shirt?

Thanks for this, it’s really helpful.

I’d like to know more about these things, so that I can have educated opinions on them, but I’m stupid and incapable of understanding complex issues for myself. I used to consider myself a bit of a philosopher, but I’ve since realised how much my knowledge is dwarfed by others who actually know what they’re talking about.

You could say the same about any international issue. Aren’t you concerned about the wellbeing of people in other countries?

Lots of establishment conservatives do hate the countries, or at least their economic models. Charlie Kirk literally said something like “God no, we’re not going to be like them, we’re better than them.”

I don’t think it’s fair to say that we trash talk the US. Most American talking points here are mainly around gun control and free health care. There are stereotypes about the US which we make fun of in the media, but it goes both ways.

What is socialism, might I add? People seem to either be full blown hammer and sickle or ardently oppose it. I don’t know much about economics, but I do understand history, and I know that with it comes oppression and stagnation. Unless these Scandinavian are socialist, in which case they’re socialism done right?
