TROPHY CASE

Mount and Blade has some of the weirdest glitches.... by resonatingfuryin gaming

[–]NSMike 1 point2 points ago

She runs over to him in the episode. That gif is actually slowed down, and he doesn't actually make any kind of sound until he starts to stand up. It would be easy to escape her notice.

Don't talk shit on female McCoy. Pulaski was a badass.

Even my Beemo shirt and TinTin haircut can't cheer me up :/ Single again... by DimmuJedin GaymersGoneMild

Oh no! Didn't you two meet over /r/gaymers?

On vacation in Pittsburgh so I made my brother take me to Moraine State Park by 92aeroin discgolf

Huh, I've been to Moraine a bunch of times, never knew they had a course there. Very nice western PA state park.

I got out of the Marine Corps today, which afforded me a rare opportunity. This is me, standing next to literally all of my worldly possessions. by Monster-_-in pics

I envy you, I have so much SHIT that I don't need and am too attached to to get rid of...

Oh, that must hurt.

Wrestling, I think not. by ghettolicious1in GaymersGoneMild

[–]NSMike 0 points1 point ago

No no, I didn't take offense. My point is that you should make sure you're doing what you really want to do.

Here's the thing... If you're not out, and you're afraid to do something because of your sexuality, that is going to hang over your head for a lot of things, and lots of times, it will really only be because you let it. Not wanting to do something, and the reasons you might be afraid to do something are two different things. Often, your fears are unjustified.

So, my only advice is: think about it and make sure you're not passing up wrestling because you're afraid of how your body might react to rolling around with another fit guy in tight clothes. I didn't wrestle, but I do know that when you're competing, often that kind of thing is not on your mind at all.

Wrestling, I think not. by ghettolicious1in GaymersGoneMild

[–]NSMike 1 point2 points ago

Perhaps a little less harsh and a little more understanding. He's 15. I agree that he's making some convenient excuses, but the real question is whether or not he wants to wrestle. If he doesn't, he shouldn't, but he definitely should consider whether that is because of the fact that he's nervous because he's gay, or just doesn't like the idea in general.

Report: HP Getting Back in the Tablet Game with Windows 8 by a2ztoain gadgets

It's no wonder they are teaming up with a company like Microsoft.

I don't even get this line of logic anymore. Microsoft did some not-so-nice things a while back, but they're generally not like that anymore, and they actually make some really good shit now.

I think you mean an epiphany.

Nebraska Woman Offers Graphic, Homophobic Rant During Lincoln's Anti-Discrimination Law Hearings by drewiepoodlein ainbow

This woman is mentally ill. That's not a flippant condemnation, I seriously think she has some kind of mental illness.

Don't ever frighten me like that again. (EDIT: Don't think the downvoters realize this is also a Hook quote.)

Just noticed this on my calendar at work, and chuckled. by NSMikein gaymers

Full disclosure: I kinda qualify as one, but I'm not into them. I was just amused by my calendar.

This guy just wanted to follow the Leviticus like he was told, so he had a few questions by radiodarioin gaymers

The West Wing makes me believe in the United States of America. Then I remember I don't live on TV, and I am sad.

My friend, who is a tiny bit afraid of heights, and I at the Grand Canyon by krilesin funny

[–]NSMike 0 points1 point ago

I took this picture overlooking the edge of Scout's Lookout at Zion National Park, which is about 700 ft above the valley floor, if I recall correctly. The trailhead for the Angel's Landing hike is here, which is far more harrowing, but still, you can walk right up to the edge of a 700 ft drop here... I'm no fan of heights either, but it was still cool.

Came out to my mum night... Feeling a little strange by thwtin ainbow

[–]NSMike 2 points3 points ago

Normal feeling. I had almost the exact same kind of thing you're describing, along with a little bit of guilt, because in some cases I felt like I was ambushing some folks with it. You will get used to the idea of being out over time.

Just saw this guy about 10 minutes ago driving home.. Is he stuck? by LegalWalrusin funny

[–]NSMike 3 points4 points ago

I wouldn't say it's the easiest thing... I've dropped about 96 pounds total, and I still want to lose about 40 more, but my body just isn't cooperating all that much, and it's not like I'm consuming ridiculous amounts of calories at this point. I am just on a really stubborn plateau, but that can be really frustrating. The physical aspects of losing weight are fairly simple concepts to understand and implement, but maintaining the mentality is a pretty big challenge, too.

A lot of people tell me Dan is biphobic, and cite this clip as an example. I'd like to understand the rationale and have a good discussion about it. by adamdavid85in ainbow

[–]NSMike 6 points7 points ago

A lot of people have problems with Dan Savage.

Personally, I don't. Dan gives some (a lot of) good advice, and is thought-provoking. He doesn't self-censor. A lot of people get riled up when they think they hear something that isn't really being said. This particular clip isn't even close to indicative of biphobia. I think the trans* community has many more examples, and more compelling examples to draw on for calling him transphobic. Even so, I don't think he's transphobic either.

Picking and choosing from things and calling them XYZphobic, and labeling the person that way because of your interpretation of the remarks without understanding or consuming a reasonable sample of that person's position is a horrible way to draw conclusions or offer proof. I don't read Dan's column, but I have listened to every single one of his podcasts, and I have to say, he's not biphobic, or transphobic, or anything phobic, except, perhaps, his unreasonable fear of vaginas. He's just a frank, satirical, outspoken individual, and it's easy to attack someone like that when they make controversial remarks, especially if they are normally counted as an ally.

An older guy is interested in me, apparently. Is it wrong not to be interested back? by WeLoveKanjimariin gaymers

[–]NSMike 2 points3 points ago

Bad assumption. Straightforward communication is always better than leaving someone to figure things out on their own. Get over your squeamishness and talk.

We're flying in a Lockheed Eagle series L1011. It came off the line 20 months ago. It carries a Sim-5 Transponder tracking system. Are you telling me I can still flummox this thing with something I bought at Radio Shack?

Accidentally Forced My Friend to Out Himself to Me by accidentalhomophobein ainbow

[–]NSMike 0 points1 point ago

Call him or speak with him in person, so there's no confusion about what's coming across in text. Apologize, and just be a decent human being. If he asks you about the homophobic joke, accept responsibility without question and with total humility. Make an effort not to tell those kinds of jokes anymore, not just around him, but ever. If it goes well, treat him like a friend. If it doesn't go well, he's either horrible at accepting apologies given with sincerity, or you damaged the friendship beyond repair. If the latter, move on, because there's not much else you can do.
