    Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey

    Since there's 0 evidence of what's in a black hole, saying it may be another universe is no different than saying god may be in there. Yet they would never sat that (rightfully so). It makes the antireligion part of the show less credible when wild non-religious speculation goes on.

    Depression

    Short answer: see a professional Long answer because the short answer isn't always convincing: It's impossible to make an assessment on a forum, but if what you describe are discrete tendencies not linked to a more pervasive personality pattern or other dysfunction, those sorts of problems...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I know everyone likes to generalize about women being complete retards, but I offer the alternative possibility that you guys choose shitty women. I have literally never had a relationship like what you guys are describing. Most men's criteria for choosing women is (1)hotness (2)their ability...

    Re: people giving him shit for apologizing - Not everything is about "winning" and making yourself look the best at the expense of your humanity. Sure, the "fuck your dad, he deserved it" response may make dumb girls want to bang you more, but we also live in a society that functions better when...

    How I Met Your Mother

    I don't know which is worse, this or Dexter ending. Spend whole life learning to love, abandon wife and kid (to be a lumberjack). Spend seasons developing Barney's ability to commit, get divorced right after. The thing with Robin, if this was actually 6 years after alienface died, is...

    Depression

    Well, behaviorally it may look that way (and probably does), but there is an alternative way to conceptualize it that is less pejorative and probably a more accurate way to understand what is going on. She probably has a biological or temperamental inability to regulate emotions well (emotion...

    Dark Souls

    I just beat him with a str melee build. High poise armor and great shield of artorius (or other high stability shield) made it easy. Medium roll, dodge when you can, as some of his swings leave him open for a single counterswing. Block the rest of the time, and temporarily drop guard when you...

    Dark Souls

    You can cheese him with spells by strafing around objects so his attacks get goofed up by the obstacle in between you two, enough to let you cast. Probably also works for melee but I haven't tried that yet

    Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey

    I have mixed feelings about the "religion is stupid" undertones. On the one hand, they're doing a great job of driving the point home that science has answered some of these questions definitively and that mysticism can only harm. On the other hand, addressing them so specifically (even if...

    Dark Souls

    I rerolled again and this time doing a strength build with dark knight greataxe. This weapon is insane and its fun as fuck. Going medium roll mostly to be more tanky, and for 4 kings just rocked some Havel's armor, said fuck dodging and just face tanked them. Turned one of the worst fights into...

    Anyone have some tried and tested tinder openers? I literally have 0 things to say to a complete stranger other than "I liked your picture because you might be fun to have sex with." Its not even that I've tried shit and failed. I'll think "I should message this chick" and literally 0 of...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Well, lindz is right. I have a pretty heavy distrust of women in general, to a point where it can occasionally cause problems, and even to me some posters on this forum just seem like women-hating maniacs. It's always a certain few who repeat the same mantra, so it's easily ignored. Obviously...

    Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey

    I thought this episode was fantastic. The evolution explanations were great and very simple to understand. I evaluate this show according to its ability to make science understandable to the general public, especially doubters. I think NDT would say that's the purpose as well. By that...

    The girl is full of shit. She married some guy she doesn't like? Would YOU marry someone if youre in love with someone else? Of course not. Why would you think this chick is making any sense "Oh...but maybe..." - that's the worst thought to ever go through someone's head. The "maybe" voice is...

    This thread has made me want to play DS again. Dammit. I did the enchanted spear+shield route last play through. I was thinking of a parry build since I don't know how to parry well, but I can't fathom playing without a shield. It just seems impossible. Do you swing at the dogs before Capra just...

    Dont send some mean text to her. You pretended to be the good guy but then when it started looking like she was losing interest, you showed your real intentions and tried to fuck her. Then you got friend zoned. Your fault, not hers. I have no judgment about any of that, except when you think...

    Depression

    Those are really good questions, and I'll answer in two ways. First, we know that psychological interventions work, and in many cases have long term benefits equal to or exceeding medication (and in other cases are inferior to medicine). Since all behavior must necessarily come from the brain...

    Depression

    It sounds like you are missing social connection. Do you see friends, have a wife/gf, or spend time with other loved ones. MMOs are a poor substitute for real social connection, and we need that in our lives just as much as vitamins or exercise. Also, see a therapist. It's something you...

    I don't know much about attachment really. Early attachment style with parents (secure, anxious, avoidant; see Mary Ainsworth wiki) does often predict adult attachment style, but there are plenty of other factors that also contribute to how people act in relationships. Whatever the case, the...
