There doesn't need to be evidence against external world skepticism to make a good argument. It just wouldn't make much sense for reality to be made up by just myself right now and nothing to exist. And even if something as extreme as that were the case, what would change about my reality? There is no leap of faith required to trust my senses or emotions, that is literally the default behavior of a human.

If you are still seeing the people you were sexually involved with, that is a variable that your partner should know. It is not your call to decide if your partner is ok with that or not. You can break it off with someone who is not ok with it if you want, but you don't get to decide ir they are comfortable with that or not. By not telling them something important like that, you rob your partner of their right to decide how they feel about that.

Maybe that is true, he may have ended up cheating when you were married with kids instesd. He is a cheater, you found out now, that is good. Everything else is pretty bad...

It isn't about competing with men, he is likely bisexual. He may still love you; he just also loves this man and doesn't know how to handle that.

That, however, is his problem, not yours. You have been wronged and deserve better. Your trust has been breached and communication has not been respected, what he did is not ok.

Confront him however you need. You can be angry, you can be hurt, you can be confused, any of that is valid; just get closure and make your choice accordingly afterwards.

Nah man your mistake was praising naruto. The premise of the show is an underdog story about someone with little talent and no help overcoming impossible odds; a point which is completely invalidated by the fact he was born the most powerful being in history, has people constantly do shit for him and even die for him, and all of his shortcomings are his own fault and never a lack of talent or results of unfair circumstances.

Only half joking here. Obviously that is not why this was a mistake, and you are allowed to like what you like, but naruto is not well written imo.

You are a piece of shit. You coerced her and forcefully undressed her (sexual assault)

I hope she runs and never looks back. If you want someone more feminine to protect your stupid masculinity, date someone else instead of forcing it on someone else.

You have traumatized her and abused her. If you care about her at all, apologize, leave, and never contact her again.

Actually cognitive abilities are improved by gaming. And a high KD aa a result of measured practice and improvement will give your child valuable tools that they can use to tackle difficult tasks outside of games.

Playing music is not any better than playing games for your brain.

I do both, gaming has given me many more tools to be good academically (feeds curiosity, reinforces discipline, great brain excersice) while music has given me an artistic outlet. It has allowed me to express myself, relate to others, and earn social status.

If we focus only in cognition though, games do more.

I'm calling bullshit on that lol.

Gaming does not lead to less social behaviors. If anything, it allows people who struggle with socializing access to safe environemnts to learn on.

The other issues you are referring to are procrastination and staying up late. Games can be used to do these things, but they are not the cause. I still procrastinate just as much even if I forbid myself from my hobbies, and back when I was a teen it didn't matter how early I stopped playing games I would still not fall asleep earlier than 2am because my issue was anxiety and depression, not gaming.

Games are not bad for you. They can be used to unhealthily cope if you are refusing to acknowledge a real issue, but the games themselves do not harm you.

Personal boundaries are things like you mentioned, but there are also relationship boundaries. You seem to call those rules, I guess some could be called either, but rule to me implies something is wrong. No cheating is a rule. But a boundary moreso to me feels like "I do not feel comfortable going beyond this" For example, if my partner sleeps with someone else without checking in with me, that break a boundary, and it is cheating. If they talk to me first and I am ok with it, it does not cross a boundary. It is no longer cheating. No cheating is a rule, no problem so far. But cheating is relative to our boundaries.

It is not an unrealistic boundary. It is definitely doable to not thirst online, nothing more difficult than just scrolling past.

OP is a jerk for crossing it.

That said, it is not a boundary I would keep. Not because it isn't doable, any decent person can do it without coming up with shitty loopholes or diet analogies; I don't keep this boundary with my partner because it would make us both less happy.

My partner and I both just comment on it when we see hot people, but we can only do things like that because we respect the other's boundaries in the first place.

I gues you could do something like a scale in which the number represents how far you are from boiling water, in which 0 would be boiling and anything hotter would go into negatives.

However, this is not as intuitive; 0 kelvin being absolute cold makes more sense.

They are kids. Kids are dumb sometimes. Let them be edgy as long as they grow out of it.

Plenty of people do way worse, like using slurs as comedy constantly. The issue was publicly displaying this edgyness, as it can become a dog whistle for actual racists and then it is no longer just kids messing around.

I say it was insensitive, but I understand why they thought it was funny; I hope they can learn from this and earn their respect back by being more sensitive in the future.
