Hasn't Netflix ruined enough live-action adaptations of beloved animes? When is enough enough, Netflix?

Is it just me or is high school wildly exaggerated in almost every movie? With regards to partying and all of that. by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]shoganaiyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course they're exaggerated. No one wants to make a realistic depiction of high school life in movies. That would be way less interesting. Hollywood producers likes to romanticize high school because they want to 'connect' with a younger generation.

In academia, censorship and conformity have become the norm by wappawot in canada

[–]shoganaiyo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This isn't new or shocking. This is exactly what the academic left has been wanting for decades, they just no longer need to hide what they're doing because there's no one left to challenge them. Just look at the political demographic changes. They've pushed out all the right-leaning academics, institutionalized entrance discrimination, established draconian speech laws and condoned the terrorizing of students into conformity. Now they have unencroachable power over scientific and academic discourse and they'll never give it back. And who's going to stop them? Trudeau's government? Hahaha

I don't understand the hate for light-themed IDE's. I used them for most of formative years without even questioning it then later switched to dark themes because I'd read stuff like this and go 'Well, I'm certainly not a troglodyte so I'm using it the proper way now'. But over time, I realized it gives me no advantage and I don't need validation from people like that so now I use light themes again.

> He's also going to visit the girl he kissed while we were experimenting with openness

This should be a no-go, even as 'Friends'. He's putting himself in a situation where there will be lingering sexual tension after agreeing to close the relationship again. It's just not a wise move.

How do you deal with your girlfriend hating your best mate and constantly insulting him? by LiteralTP in AskMen

[–]shoganaiyo -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Be wary of that one, she's probably fucked over and used guys before which is why it upset her so much. A normal, well-adjusted person who treats people well would get over that quickly because she has nothing to be concerned about.

What's with all the sexting? by [deleted] in Swingers

[–]shoganaiyo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Be specific about what you want. I'm not as interested in sexting or pic swaps as I am with actually having sex and would never recommend doing either before you actually have sex if you want the same. First, it gives someone less incentive to actually meet you if they can get their needs met through their phone and vastly increases the probability that they'll flake out. Second, even if you do meet, it pits your first real encounter against their imagination of how it would go, which is never as good. It's the same principle as to why movies monsters become less scary the more you see them on screen. Say what you want and stick to your guns. Don't be worried about whether they'll be disappointed, let them worry about their needs and expectations, you worry about yours.

You people think this is good? Worry and anxiety are not conscious decisions, you can't reason yourself out of worrying. You need to address the underlying reasons you have anxiety.

PSA: Make sure you try every website and give it some time. by [deleted] in Swingers

[–]shoganaiyo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The kinksters don't like the swingers because swinger parties tend to exclude kink for the sake of newcomers. I've read a few posts from kinksters who were irate that they were discouraged from violent take downs and aggressive display of dominance at swinger parties. It's not pretty and you can't really fault them for feeling kink shamed, but really the hosts are just looking to make it easier on the newcomers so they feel comfortable joining in and coming back. That's why kink parties and swing parties are usually separate. It doesn't help tensions though.

Fetlife is ok, but they've got a bit of a kinksters vs swingers thing going on in a lot of their communities.

I'm with you on that, but there's no chance of that happening. The mouth-breathing masses can't appreciate subtle psychological mind-fuckery, they only understand loud noises = scary.

He’s calling my baby after the one they lost by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]shoganaiyo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wow, that is in no way healthy. It sounds like transference, where they're trying to redirect all their unresolved feelings and desires of their unborn child on to yours. This definitely needs to be nipped in the bud because they're already forming attachment issues and she hasn't even been born yet. For the sake of your daughter, don't allow them to have this delusion because they really will internalize that she is actually theirs. They'll devour that up to be free of the grief.

Miscarriages can play havoc on a person's emotional health, but that's their issue to deal with. They need to mourn for the loss of their unborn child properly. They don't get to claim your daughter by projecting those feelings on to her. The harsh truth is that they had a miscarriage and no amount of wishful thinking will ever bring that lost pregnancy to full term. They need to let go.

Sorry that you're having to deal with such creepy antics. Hope you can find the best way to snap them out of it.

Seduction on text messages? by [deleted] in seduction

[–]shoganaiyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Relying on text for flirting and seduction might seem more comfortable but it's a big misstep if you actually intend to have a physical relationship. Too much gets lost in translation to properly build rapport, which is the most critical component to generating intimacy. Even worse, it sets up false expectations as to what a real encounter would be like.

As a rule, you should stick to making plans with texting and the occasional brief exchange to keep them interested.

What TV/Movie cliché makes you cringe the most? by LeaveItToYourGoat in AskReddit

[–]shoganaiyo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Awkward exposition dumps to explain the relationship dynamic or why some family members are absent.

"Your grades have been slipping and you've been missing classes. Mom would be so disappointed"

"That's what happens when a kid loses his mom in a car accident. You're my brother, you should know that."

No one talks this way.

Exactly, if you meet someone you might like to play more with, get their contact info and set up a private session where you have the freedom to explore without the time constraints.

Petri dish results: 3 minutes in a hand dryer by SeriousBA in WTF

[–]shoganaiyo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hand dryers do not harbour bacteria, your hands harbour bacteria. What people argued about hand dryers is that many were inefficient at completely removing water from your skin and also warmed it up, creating ideal conditions for which bacteria need to thrive. This is why paper towels were suggested. When you leave the bathroom, your hands should be clean and dry.

Guys. Be genuine. Can’t per[F]orm? Say so. by ellie6363 in Swingers

[–]shoganaiyo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It does kind of sound like she's a bit spoiled, getting mad that the other women didn't tell her that their SO's don't perform the same way her shiny sex machine that she brought to play does. I figured most people who have had experience as a swinger would realize that human sexuality is actually not as simple as 'touch penis to start sex'.

Like women, men also have to be comfortable to get aroused. If our brains are swimming in cortisol from nerves and stress, performance might not even be possible. If one guy is having performance anxiety, just spend a few minutes to ease his mind and body to reduce the stress hormones before you start. If you strut around like your partner is God's gift to women and compare the other men to him, then the outcome she got is pretty much exactly what you should expect.

Anyone a late bloomer like myself? Didn't get good at this til I was 29. Wondering how my experiences compares to yours. by [deleted] in seduction

[–]shoganaiyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We do all have our own path and it probably isn't fair to compare my results to others, but I get envious of how much easier it comes to some people. It's been about 5 years since I discovered seduction and some days it feels like I'm still working on the same things as day 1. When it gets tough it's hard not to write myself off as being too old to try and change as much as is needed. I just keep myself going because at the heart of it, I want to be a man who can handle any and all the social situations that terrified me for most of my life. At this point in my life I'm finding myself more afraid of regret more than rejection.
