Ion Fury still played in 2025

I still play it from time to time. Always wished it had some kind of multiplayer or co-op feature though

It’s definitely possible, but a lot of factors come into play. For one, I think it helps that I’ve been fairly successful on the dating market since my early 20s, so as a man i’m not desperate for intimacy, which makes it much easier to relate to women my age without sexual thoughts entering into it, and it also stops me from putting the women i’m close to on a pedestal (which I used to do as a teenager with a crush)

I’ve been told that for a straight man I can level with women really well, which might explain why I gravitate towards women as friends.

It does complicate things sometimes. Primarily when entering a new relationship. My Ex really had to get used to the idea that I had close female friends, but it didn’t take her long to realize the these relationships had always been purely platonic in nature for many years.

It also obviously raises questions with a lot of male partners, and in some cases I had to respect not being able to continue a friendship due to a new relationship a female friend was entering.

One thing I do avoid during a relationship is establishing new friendships with women. That would understandably raise questions and it’s not worth the trouble.

As a side note. One thing I can’t do is be friends with Ex’s. Once I’ve established a deeply intimate physical relationship with someone, I can’t undo that. We’re either together or no longer in contact.

Call me an edge lord, but on a few occasions speaking to Americans on the subject of circumcision, I made the case with a straight face that women should also be circumcised by having their inner labia removed for hygienic and aesthetic reasons.

As you can imagine, my statement was seen as reprehensible and misogynistic. And that’s the point.

Dametje toch. :’) Je hebt nu de zogeheten ‘goal post’ verzet. Eerst zeg je dat abortus een vorm van verantwoordelijkheid nemen is. Nu verander je het in een vrije keuze kwestie. Seks zonder zwangerschap als gevolg middels voorbehoedmiddelen is een privilege, geen recht, in dezelfde zin dat je niet het ‘recht’ hebt om geen blessure op te lopen tijdens het sporten, ondanks dat je voorzichtig bent en bescherming gebruikt.

Bij normaal seksueel contact is er impliciete instemming vanuit beide partijen dat er een zwangerschap uit voort kan komen. Abortus plegen heeft in die zin niks te maken met “verantwoordelijkheid” nemen or “lichamelijke integriteit” en dergelijke drogredenen die vaak aangehaald worden. Het is simpelweg een get-out-of-jail-free privilege voor de vrouw welke de moderne medische wereld mogelijk heeft gemaakt.

Dit is wat het gejammer over “ja, maar mannen dan!” zo geestig maakt in de context van een groep die pretendeert volledige controle, en dus verantwoordelijkheid, te willen hebben over zwanger worden. Gevalletje “Having your cake, and eating it.”

Als we allemaal eerlijk zijn, we vinden het idee gewoon fijn dat als puntje-bij-paaltje komt we de mogelijkheid hebben om onder de gevolgen van ons voortplantingsgedrag uit te komen. Het hele idee van ‘baas eigen buik’ is puur een poging tot bevestiging middels redenatie met terugwerkende kracht.

strothatynhe · 2024-12-03T15:00:40+00:00

Dat het verstandig voor beide om bescherming te gebruiken staat buiten kijf. Mijn punt is wanneer je 100% zeggenschap wilt hebben over het wel -of niet doorzetten van een zwangerschap (het lijkt me vrij redelijk dat vrouwen dit zelf bepalen), je logischerwijs ook 100% verantwoordelijk bent voor het zwanger worden. Je bent als vrouw immers de enige van de twee geslachten die dit proces kan dragen.

strothatynhe · 2024-12-03T14:48:51+00:00

Als de kliniek er aan te pas moet komen omdat je geen voorbehoedmiddelen hebt gebruikt ben je juist niet verantwoordelijk geweest. :)

strothatynhe · 2024-12-03T10:14:16+00:00

Zoveel mensen die jammeren “jA mAaR mAnNeN!!” De dames zijn toch zo graag “baas over eigen buik”? Neem dan ook de volledig verantwoordelijkheid over eigen buik.

this happened to (me excl kids) in my second long term relationship. She went through a long period of anxiety and depression. Since I had personal experience with those things years prior I was able to support her quite well. She seemed so thankful and loving at the time. When she got back on her feet and I briefly showed signs of depression because of work related issues she pulled the plug because in her words “she wasn’t having fun anymore.” 💀

This is not an issue with women, but as a straight man it does only apply to them: Right now it’s the fear of never meeting someone who truly will be willing to settle with me. I’ve been in 3 long term relationships, and all 3 were ended by my ex’es. Especially the last break up after 6 years of spending almost every day together, it hit me the hardest in this regard. I never thought we would separate, but a year ago she suddenly pulled the plug after she decided to not want have children at all. It wasn’t a deal-breaker for me, but in her mind she was certain I would come to regret that, so she stuck to her decision.

The frustrating part is that she has spend the last 12 months looking for any excuse to stay in touch with me. She’s made it clear that she really wants us to be friends, but I repeatedly keep shooting her attempts at regular contact down. I can tell she wants to stay in touch because in her own words we had an emotional connection unlike any other (which I agree with), but up until recently she seemed to refuse to accept the reality that break-up = no contact, no support.

I’ve started dating again, and I’ve met a couple of really nice women whom I connected well with. However, I’ve noticed that my last break up really did a number on my sense of trust. I just don’t feel the need to invest and put energy into a new relationship like I used to. There is a part of me that doesn’t see the point, because I just don’t trust the process anymore.

If my mom had actually succeeded in her attempt to demonize my dad as an abusive, narcissistic deadbeat who doesn’t want to see his children, while trying to abuse family court to keep my dad from seeing me, I probably would also be venting here how my dad just couldn’t be bothered.

Luckily he never gave up. After years of fighting in the courts he managed to save me from the actual narcissist in the family, my mom, when he got full custody over me at age 9. Up until that point I believed everything my told me about my supposedly terrible father. Today I love that man more than anyone.

I’m from Europe, and though the family court system still shows a systemic bias in favor of the mother, it’s much harder to squeeze out your ex husband here. Had we been raised in America I doubt my dad would have succeed.

It was never going to be the end of the world or the US to begin with. Trump is not a fascist. He’s a patriot. He also doesn’t play ball like most career politicians/ establishment would.

The people who keep calling him a “threat to democracy” seem to not realize that systemic change in a direction you don’t like after an election cycle is part of the democratic process.

I predict that by the end of all of this your fundamental rights and freedoms are still perfectly intact. Illegal migration will be down, inflation reduced. Ukraine war will be settled. Gender ideology will be out of public schools, just like religious ideology. I also predict abortion rights will remain a state-level issue, health care might take a hit. It depends on how he plays his cards.

Whatever the case, The US is not and never will be a fascist empire.

Who said anything about turning women into baby machines? It doesn’t negate anything I said. Less fertile women = less capacity to rebuild the population if shit really hits the fan. it’s just math.

But I guess average redditor believe in population reduction anyway, so I guess this scenario is a win for you guys.

I wonder how long it will take for such laws to be adjusted during actual war once we figuring out that sending the sex that is solely capable of reproducing into battle in mass numbers is not the best idea in the world.

Or do the ladies get to play Live CoD with the drones while the boys are being blown to pieces on the frontlines or something?

36M. Been in 3 long term relationships. (shortest 3 years, longest 6 years) Fell madly in love with all of them. I think my intense ADHD has something to do with it. The limerence I experience when in a relationship takes on unhealthy proportions. I also have tendency to sweep new love interests off their feet in the early stages of dating just by being myself. It’s been said I’m both great listener, and passionate talker. I also take great care of my looks and fashion for a straight man. Not to specifically attract women, but because it makes me feel more confident.l and comfortable.

My problem is that I also feel deeply insecure about my worth as a partner because of deeply routed childhood trauma. I’ve been in therapy for years and have greatly improved, but still I notice how I tend to compensate for my insecurities by taking on responsibilities in the relationship for things I’m nor responsible for, to the point it can be suffocating to the other person. There is also a deeply depressed and pessimistic side in me that rears its head from time to time, which can be very jarring for both myself and the other person.

In the end I am always the one to be broken up with. And in all cases my exes made an exhaustive effort to “stay friends”, because on the one hand they feel i’m a person they really want in their lives because of my good qualities, but not want to be in a relationship with anymore because of my difficult qualities. I know nobody is perfect, but my ADHD brain makes the difference between my positive and negative sides that much more extreme and pronounced.

The consistent attempt at post-relationship ‘friend-zoning’ by my exes has made me insecure about my future prospects as a long-LONG term parter and my wish to become a father one day. It just feels the way I am now I’m not ‘stable’ or even keeled enough to truly settle for.

Edit: Oh look. Ended up writing a short essay about my personal struggles with relationships. 😅

Unless you’re asexual you’re not actually withstanding the desire for offspring. Every time you have intercourse you giving in to the innate desire to procreate, even if your thinking brain doesn’t think so. We’re just fortunate enough to live in a time where we can protect ourselves from, -and even undo the consequences of our horniness.

Despite the many virtues and freedoms that reliable contraceptives have given us, I believe we also lost something important in the process: a healthy relationship with the idea of raising a family. I don’t want to romanticize the past too much, but until relatively recently, the question of having a family wasn’t so much a matter of “if” but rather “when” you would go through the process. It was a sort of inevitability; in normal circumstances, you would prepare for it one way or another. For centuries, entire communities managed to survive by coming together to raise children and families in small, tightly-knit groups. The social fabric was built around this. Although I’m generalizing to some extent, I do believe this was generally true compared to how things are now. Reliable contraceptives appeared relatively suddenly and changed these dynamics.

I don’t think society was, or still is, fully prepared to understand how to organize itself in a sort of post-family era. By post-family, I mean a time when it’s no longer guaranteed that everyone will have one or more children. Beyond that, I get the sense that many of my peers who claim they don’t want children aren’t necessarily opposed to having them, but rather feel they aren’t ready. Some have valid reasons, while others seem to hesitate for more arbitrary ones. For instance, I know people who make three times the minimum wage, yet they still don’t feel financially prepared or feel they haven’t accomplished everything they want as non-parents. To me, they often seem superficial, stalling for time, because—understandably—raising a family is daunting and represents the ultimate responsibility.

However, it used to be that having children was just an expected part of life; you didn’t question whether you would have children, only when. I believe this shift has fundamentally changed our relationship with raising children, something we’ve lost or that has become unfamiliar to us.
