- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
It really depends, but ultimately a lot of social interactions can only happen between two people at once. Say you and your wife get into a fight. Instead of fighting it out & making up. She now has the option to stop fighting you and go hang out with your co-husband - and you aren’t invited. She also has the option to emotionally strong arm you to get her way by not only stonewalling you/withholding affection, but also by threatening to push you out of your marriage for another guy who literally lives with you both.
You’d need to have a lot of trust in your wife - she’d need to have a tremendous amount of emotional stability and be non-manipulative. She’d suddenly have a lot more power in the relationship in a very inequitable way.
My wife and I are very into monogamy. But she has a serious temper and can be very manipulative when she’s angry (she’s gotten better about this, but it’s a known issue). It’d be very easy for her to do something hurtful. I’m not talking about sex, just the emotional threat of turning to someone else for relief from me - and the implied threat of pushing me out.

Sorry that happened. I get relatively minor tinnitus, but these exercises have helped. Dude’s a chiropractor, but this particular stuff is not chiropractic and is legit. The thing that helps me is the palms on ears and drumming with fingers on the back of your head (like 50% through the video or so)

I have gone off a few times over the years and didn’t experience many side effects/withdrawals, but that is definitely not always the case - I’ve heard that it reeeaaally does not work for some people. Ymmv

If you have depression anxiety and find that Prozac (an ssri) doesnt work well, you might consider something that directly works on dopamine - like Buproprion (brand name = wellbutrin, a NDRI, norepinephrine dopamine reuptake inhibitor).
- Comment on Ads when you’re pumping gas 1 month ago:
Yep doesn’t work anymore. There’s probably some series of buttons you can push to put it into settings mode, but I imagine it’s different by model.
If you can’t mute it with software, then the only remaining way is via hardware. Carry some packing tape in your car and slap it over the speaker - wipe fingerprints off just in case.
- Comment on do you think freewill truly exists? 1 month ago:
I guess, if they answer “No” or “Yeah your simple rebuttal has made me realize the problem of free will is nbd actually”.
But if they say “Yes. It does matter.” Then suddenly it isn’t defeated and you’d need to provide a compelling argument for it not mattering.
- Comment on ‘The Wheel Of Time’ Canceled By Prime Video After 3 Seasons 1 month ago:
I only watched the first season (big fan of the books as a kid). Imo, it is not worth your time. They took out what makes WoT special and produced some extremely generic, bland fantasy.
- Comment on what language would be best for me to learn? 1 month ago:
Depends on your goals. I’d say learn the one you have the most use for personally. If you don’t have a use and are just learning for fun, then pick the most interesting one. If you’re learning intending to acquire the language as quickly as possible, then either Italian or French would be good choices.
I am learning Chinese (mandarin, aka 汉语, aka 普通话) and I personally find it very logical, interesting, and fun as a native english speaker who used to be conversationally fluent in Spanish. There are definite difficulties with the language (soooooo many homonyms, characters (汉子) take some getting used to, tones, etc) but if you learn it, there is a lot of reading material and media that will become accessible to you. Also, I think that it provides more cognitive benefits necause of how different it is to romance languages (for native speakers of romance languages).
汉语是很酷。我推荐你！

AFAIK you can literally mail anything (except these things) as long as you pay the right postage and address it.
- Comment on What do office workers actually do? 2 months ago:
I largely analyze data and create software to automate business tasks. This allows people in my company to make informed decisions about the business, how money is or should be spent, who & where to hire people, etc. And then I present that data in a way they can understand.
This might mean creating forecasts. Automating data analysis with reports. Building data sources (gathering and manipulating data from different places and compiling it). Building interactive software or excel sheets for non-technical users.
I use excel, google sheets, google app script (basically javascript), tableau, python, and SQL.
- Comment on What's a highly-rated, critically acclaimed TV series that you couldn't get into, or have no interest in? 2 months ago:
Some of the early episodes really show their age. It’s definitely still worth watching in 2025, but it is an old show at this point.

Basically it is a “technical analysis” thing. Which basically means divination based on the “shapes the stonk line make and other line you draw on stonk too”.
Death cross scary shape when stonk line cross other line you draw

Science is proof that 99/100 people who think that if there was a knowledge-based magic system irl, then they’d learn it and be a mage is in denial.
We legit have magic that you just have to learn & then can do all sorts of cool stuff, be it chemistry or computer science, and people pretty routinely do not give a shit about learning it themselves.

I don’t even think the majority of American conservatives are on board with most of what’s happening. Some are, but they’re especially stupid and usually ideologically oriented to Trump rather than to the traditional brand of US conservatism.
