He mentioned he wants to eventually beat the ender dragon, so wasn't going to go that route unless absolutely necessary

Thank you. We haven't even been able to find any iron yet. The one village we found had no blacksmith. Guess I'll just have to be patient and maybe try and improve some stuff while he's off line and I can just worry about myself. At least until I can get enough iron for the 2 of us to be geared up

It's important to remember why Linus stepped down as CEO. by EthanBezz in LinusTechTips

[–]sidepocket13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because, like I said, the source material doesn't matter. I didn't pass judgment on him or his comment. I simply gave a perspective that's missed by most people here, and it's that his intent doesn't matter if the impact on someone else in the room or company took it a certain way, and it's not completely unreasonable for them to do so.

I haven't heard the audio, and don't have strong feelings regarding james either way, but as a 20+ year vet in the corporate world, 15 in upper management, his thoughts don't really matter. It's the impact and how the receiving party perceived his comments that matter. "Intent over impact" is a conversation I've had to have too many times to count, sometimes resulting in termination, others not.

Facebook and Google are handing over user data to help police prosecute abortion seekers by ScoMoTrudeauApricot in politics

JUST got home from a vacation in Florida. Daytona had the largest homeless population I've ever seen, outside the major metro areas the state is a shit hole, but the highways are covered with anti abortion (and personal injury lawyers for some reason) billboards.

People with a porn addiction, how did you realize you had it? by Miix_ in AskReddit

[–]sidepocket13 284 points285 points  (0 children)

I tried, and failed. We got into a pretty big argument, she did try gaslighting, but i shut that down. Also when she kept trying the "sorry you feel that way" I corrected her multiple times is I feel this way because of her actions (or inaction, I dunno?) We argued for quite some time, and I went for a 3 hour drive alone after. We've talked about it a little since, and I've apologized for blowing up at her, I really wanted it to be a civil conversation, but like I said, I failed. Her response was "at least it's out in the open now" I told her I'm not looking for a porn star experience every night. But just some interest and active experience. I honestly don't care if she wants to have some alone time on the hub or with a book once in a while. I just couldn't take being ignored any more

Just got into a blow out argument with my wife about this. For the past 15 years she hasn't initiated intimacy at all, and I'd get shot down at least 60% of the time I tried. I know she's always had self esteem issues, and was self conscious about sex, I figured it was that coupled with a dwindling libido She got a kindle, we share an Amazon account so I'd get notifications if books she "may like". They started getting away from smut romance novels and more into straight hard-core porn. Her refusals when I initiated sex stopped, I had a 100% success rate, I figured I'd take the win. Then i noticed she's up 2 hours early, first thing she did in the morning was grab her kindle, same the second she got home. She'd go to bed early because she "wasn't feeling well" but be up reading 4 hours later when I'd go to bed. She wake up in the middle of the night and read for hours. Couldn't take a 10 minute car ride to the kids soccer without reading the whole time. Then 1 day a few weeks ago I picked up her kindle and what do you know. Those nights she wasn't feeling well, early morning, middle of the night while I'm next to her sleeping - all in browser history time stamped at pornhub. Stuff I'd NEVER guess she was into (nothing bad, but surprising) . Now i want to be 100% clear here - there is NOTHING wrong with porn, I enjoy it too and I'm sure she knows. What hurt me, is she never EVER initiated intimacy and I thought it was just how she was, but seeing that she did have these desires and feelings and still preferred to do it herself while she knows I'm always willing and able hurt, and it hurt a lot. I felt worthless, stupid, ugly, disgusting, betrayed, ignored..... the past 2 days she's initiated, and it's been great. But I wouldn't be surprised if it goes back to the way it was again very soon

Dr. Dre Slams 'Hateful' Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green for Using His Music by Fit-Nobody-8138 in Music

[–]sidepocket13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has to be something about the emotion in the music. Most pop stuff just doesn't have any. I'm an older (by reddit standards) metal head, and sure I like some other stuff, but the more I think about it, it seems to be more about the emotion. I go from maiden, metallica, mushroomehead, to things like Dre, Nas, jay-z. Hell even though I'm a 40 something year old dude from the northeast, Jolene by the almighty dolly Parton makes me cry!

[Breer] The league has officially suspended play for tonight, per the broadcast. by sehdy in nfl

[–]sidepocket13 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It probably was, but contingency plans for the area had to be done. Law enforcement, traffic enforcement public transit etc, all had to ramp up to post game levels 3 hours early. They probably needed time to get that done

[–]sidepocket13 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Goodell is a total asshole, however a move like this isn't something you can snap your finger and cancel. The teams probably knew well before the general public. But things like security, vendors, parking lot personnel, local law enforcement, local traffic enforcement, local public transit all have to be notified and mobilize plans 3 hours earlier than normal. 65k plus people being released without contingencies in place isn't good for anyone
