I recently watched all kinds of shark movies including the jaws franchise , and dangerous animals. The lake placid franchise was good when it came to this request but the best of them all ? The piranha movies franchise. I like how a lot of these are so so stupid that they’re funny due to being so stupid ( excluding the original Jaws as that was a classic & master piece ) but the piranha movies are the best so far when it comes to comedy and hot women mixture. Any other suggestions with this mixture ?

Thanks in advance

Gladiator , Apocalypto , and The Last Samurai are my absolute favorites. The fighting , killing , and the bad opponents getting what they deserve. I watched Sisu ( 2023 ) yesterday which is the best movie in this category i’ve seen recently since the previous mentioned 3. Any others ?

I’ve seen Troy , The Revenant , Braveheart , The Patriot , The Passion Of Christ , and The Last Of The Mohicans, these were all good but not as good as the ones mentioned as my top 4.

Edited:

I’ve also seen 10,000 BC , The Kingdom Of Heaven , 300 and the sequel 300: Rise Of An Empire , and The Scorpion King franchise. All were either good or just ok

Thanks in advance

Hey everyone! 26M here. So long story short , i have aspergers with some social anxiety and throughout my life i’ve been told here and there that i seem insufferable , that i say way too much , that i give try too hard and please like me vibes. Neither of those were my intentions as i was just trying to connect by our shared mutual interests. I totally understand why lots of women ghost since there’s still way too many abusive , psycho & immature men that can’t handle or take rejection very well. I feel so bad for all the women out there that ever had to deal with those kind of men. I’m so sorry for how they treated ya’ll. I’m embarrassed by those kind of men. So back to the advice request , i like to ask them questions about our mutual interests as as well differing interests , life goals / views, i listen , i try to make them laugh when i see a opportunity , and i try to make the texting and real life date fun but i don’t know how to change my texting style. I’m not desperate as i didn’t even start dating till i was 20. I didn’t date in middle or high schools like most of my peers since i took all the high school drama movies i watched growing up way too seriously and didn’t want to be that guy everyone laughed about so i rejected all opportunities in those times and it was stupid looking back. I so value constructive criticism & brutal honesty since they have both helped me grow tremendously as a better person. I wish i could’ve handled them when i was a teen so i can be an even better person now than i currently am. Rejection isn’t the end of the world. It’s just trial & error. It’s just really nice to get feedback on what went wrong so i don’t repeat the same mistake next time which ghosting doesn’t give. The only thing ghosting says is that she’s not interested anymore. I’ve been told that i’m really good looking , have really cool interests , and life experiences but that my texting skills / social skills suck. Any advice is much appreciated

Thanks in advance

Ok so long story short , i recall 2 -4 different times i’ve been told they could tell or suspected that i had aspergers even tho i masked or tried to at least when i’d ask them how they knew and they said things like “ you walk really fast , you know a lot about one subject , your body language “ and i’m like the whole point of me masking is so you neurotypicals don’t know what i’m dealing with 🤦‍♂️ has masking worked for any of you ? It’s worked for me for the most part except for those 2-4 people. I want my masking to work on everyone i meet as it takes me a while to start trusting people due to how toxic & flakey the world is never trust anyone till you get to know them quite a bit. Now i have people on reddit telling me that they could tell i have aspergers due to my writing style ? Like WTF ? I don’t think my writing style is unique.

Thoughts ?

Those who served in the Afghanistan , Iraq , and Syria wars any dangerous wildlife encounters ?

I’m curious if anyone who did mission jobs while these 3 wars were going on had any close calls with dangerous wildlife local to those areas like brown bears , striped hyenas , wolves , leopards , feral dogs , etc ?

For example , even tho my grandpa served in the Vietnam War he didn’t have any dangerous wildlife encounters local to that country but he did have friends / people he served with that had dangerous , close call encounters with tigers , leopards , and wild elephants. He didn’t give much detail on them other than that they were all shot as soon as they were spotted and showed signs of aggression.

In the movie Lone Survivor one of the actors who plays one of Marcus Luttrell’s fellow troops said that the hostages / goat herders tied to the tree would probably get eaten by wolves if left tied there or killed on the spot. I know it’s just a movie with hollywood actors and none of the troops that actually served that mission but , i never got around to reading the actual book but need to as i don’t know if the book itself mentions wolves or if that was just a hollywood flick added to the story since it’s a movie. I look forward to hearing each and every of ya’lls stories regarding this. Thank you all for your service.

Hey everyone! I love fast paced action tv shows with revenge seeking , vengeance , action which includes all the fighting & killing scenes , and putting bad guys in their place.

Here’s what i’ve seen so far.. Cobra Kai , Banshee , The Tourist , Memory Of A Killer , The Undoing , Absentia , Reacher , Justified , The Terminal List , The Day Of The Jackal , The Night Agent , and Bosch. Brothers sun was good too.

Any others ? Please don’t list anything slow like Dexter. I tired dexter and couldn’t get into it. I want them to be fast paced with lots of action ( which includes the killing & fighting scenes ) , vengeance , revenge seeking , and putting the bad guys in their place.

Thanks in advance

Hey everyone i am so addicted to tv shows like Banshee , Cobra Kai , and The Tourist. I need some more action , thriller shows like these. Any suggestions ?

I’m 26M and live in the US. Every time i make ONE mistake unintentionally , they start ghosting. I had a date planned 2 hrs 5 mins away drive and when i almost got there she cancelled on me saying “ i am so sorry, i am not feeling well and am going to have to cancel :( “ i would’ve normally been pissed after all that driving but i wasn’t like i’d usually be since i had a family’s house i could stop at and really nice park to get a hike in to make it a little more worthwhile drive in the end and then when i told her that i hope she feels better that i’d pray for her to recover as fast & quickly as possible she said “ thank you , that’s so sweet and that place looks beautiful! I haven’t heard from her since. I’m so tired of this shit , connection with a girl that shares mutual interests with me over text only for them to flake our last min ? I’m like geezus this is why i hate dating but i get so annoyed and tired of some people assuming that i’m gay when i avoid starting conversations with women.
What do i do ? Should i give up ? This has happened twice now. She hasn’t blocked me or unmatched me on the app yet either. I even apologized for possibly coming off as too strong and still no response. Thinking about giving up on this game called dating since nothing but headaches seem to come from it in my experience unlike my friends who can just get into relationships so effortlessly.

Thanks in advance

I can’t be the only one with aspergers that is interested in this stuff ? I like kayaking , fishing , hiking , swimming , the lake life , traveling , scuba diving , wildlife photography , learning about cool animals , and traveling as well as exploring nature. Is there anyone else with aspergers out there that are also interested in these ?

Hello everyone! 26M here. I want to know if i’m missing out on asking any questions that fall into the “ taking interest in her life “ category. When i go on first dates with women of my age range , i usually ask questions about our mutual interests including interests of hers that i wouldn’t consider an interest of mine , i’ll also ask life goals & life view questions now too. Lately , i can get some of them talking for hours with asking these type of questions that come to mind when they say “ take interest in her life “ are there any other type of questions that fall into the “ take interest in her life “ category that ya’ll suggest ?

My last date i had so much in common with that she wanted me to pick her up , and after that we went out to eat then we went to this park afterwards and hiked 8 miles then i bought smoothie king for the both of us afterwards then i took her to the parking lot where we first met to drop her off but we hung out for several more hours in my jeep just talking , and laughing instead of her leaving immediately and before she did leave , we hugged for a good few secs with her smiling and waving at me before we went on about our own ways. She was definitely wanting to meet up again but it never happened she just wanted to be friends in the end since she’s from Italy and was moving back there for the summer.

Thanks in advance

So long story short , i’m 26M and live in the US. I’m considered handsome i’ll give some examples as to how a little later but anyways all my close friends are taken / married and what’s crazy too is their wives friends are mostly taken or married too so they can’t really set me up with anyone so i been on the dating apps and i get a good amount of matches but i hate how it’s so challenging to get them to go on a 2nd date. I’m NOT one of those guys that swipes right on every girl. I’m picky about who i swipe right on. I think it’s silly and mentally draining that there’s guys out there that will swipe right on literally everyone only to unmatch after if it’s not their type or whatever. Ever since i entered my early twenties i seem to have gotten the hang of reading facial expressions , non verbal cues , and body language accurately for the most part but i still make mistakes here and there.

I almost got to turn my last date into a 2nd date but she was a foreign exchange student from Italy and summer was approaching so unfortunately we couldn’t plan a 2nd date and i f*cked up later on when she quit responding consistently ( every 2 days ) and saw on social media that she was on vacation with this one guy which made me jealous but it turned out he was just a college friend of hers and ever since i asked her if that was her new boyfriend she ghosted and quit responding ever since even tho we had a amazing first date to where we agreed to be friends in the mean time till she came back for school. Moving forward , what do i talk to them about besides mutual interests , life goals , and life outlooks ? Long story short, here’s how i know that we vibed perfectly. We hung out 8 hours that day. She trusted me enough to pick her up then we went out to eat then we walked for 8 miles then i took her to smoothie king and paid for that too then we hung out in my jeep at the parking lot where i originally picked her up and talked with her for a couple more hours so she didn’t leave immediately and then after that we hugged for a few good secs and agreed to meet up a 2nd time.

For examples on proving that i’m considered handsome…… my mom once had different 2 co workers that told her that they would hook up with me if they weren’t her friends or knew her which grossed my mom out with her telling them both “ ewww that’s my son “ , i get asked here and there and told if i ever considered modeling and that i should be a model. I’m 5’10 feet tall so i don’t feel tall enough to be one haha and when i was good about going to the gym when i was under aged at ages 13-17 i had these absolutely beautiful fit women that were in their 30’s -40’s hit on me saying stuff like i look good every time they saw me. So my biggest area i want to improve on is WHAT do i talk to any future dates about besides mutual interests , life goals , and life outlooks ? And how long should you text with them on the apps before planning a first date ? I suck at getting to know women.

Thanks in advance

1. Reintroduce the persian fallow deer to the countries of Georgia , Armenia , Azerbaijan , Iraq , Syria , Lebanon , and Jordan. Why and what are some of the challenges ?

Why it should happen:
It would restore a historically native , vital grazer to these places helping boost biodiversity and supporting natural predators like leopards , wolves , and striped hyenas. They help manage vegetation growth , and aid in seed dispersal which promotes plant genetic diversity along with helping ecotourism. Ecotourism like wildlife watching & photography could bring positive economic benefits to all these countries. It also saves them from catastrophes like diseases and helping reduce the risk of massive wildfires and it helps even further prevent the loss of an endangered subspecies adding long term survival efforts

Challenges:
Political instability , habitat degradation , poverty , and weak enforcement against poaching

Some specific locations:
Hyrcanian forests and the broader caucasus foothills of Azerbaijan , and Shouf biosphere Reserve in Lebanon.

2. Reintroduce arabian oryx to the countries of Iraq , Kuwait , Lebanon , Syria , and Yemen.

Why it should happen:
Their grazing & digging habits aerate the soil and significantly aid in the germination of desert trees like the acacia for example and they help strengthen overall local biodiversity

Challenges:
Poaching , habitat degradation , poverty , urbanization , and political instability

3. Reintroduce the mouflon to the countries of Iraq , Syria , Lebanon , Jordan , and Israel / Palestine.

Why it should happen:
As natural grazers , they help delay grass succession and help maintain open habitats promoting biodiversity

Specific sites:
The Zagros Range of Iraq , and the Eastern Black Desert of Jordan as a couple examples

Challenges:
Weak enforcement against poaching , political instability, poverty , possible disease transmission from domesticated sheep , habitat degradation , and in some cases some of these countries becoming more densely populated.

4. Reintroduce takin to the country of Nepal. Increase their numbers in China and Bhutan.

Why it should happen:
As large grazers , takin graze on a massive variety of plants including bamboo and shrubs which helps naturally manage undergrowth and cycle nutrients in high altitude cloud forests. It is historically adapted to the mist covered , bamboo rich , and rocky alpine zones of the eastern himalayas in places like Makalu , Barun National Park , Sagarmatha National Park , and Kanchenjunga Conservation Area.

Challenges:
Possible threats of poaching

5: Reintroduce the bharal to Tajikistan

Why it should happen:
It could help restore the natural balance of high altitude ecosystems and creating a stable prey base for apex predators like the snow leopard , wolf , and brown bear. They thrive on steep , precipitous cliffs and rocky , grassy alpine zones that other local ungulates often don’t fully utilize. They fill a highly specific ecological niche without competing with native species like the siberian ibex.

Specific sites: Tajik National Park , Zorkul Strict Nature Reserve , and the Wakhan Corridor

6. Reintroduce the nubian Ibex to Syria

Why it should happen:
It is highly valuable to restore the regions national biodiversity and revive degraded mountain ecosystems. They act as native browsers naturally shaping vegetation and preventing the overgrowth of dryland shrubs. They can serve as an extra prey base again for the leopard , wolf , brown bear, and striped hyena.

Specific sites:
The anti lebanon mountains , Jabal Al Bishri , and the Palmyrene Mountains

Challenges:
political instability , poverty , and very weak enforcement against poaching

The other ideas / thoughts will be in the comments. Please feel free to add yours

1. They should reintroduce tigers to Laos. I can see Laos becoming another stronghold for the tiger if they ever stabilize and start really valuing conservation more than they currently do.

2. Reintroduce true wild asiatic water buffalo to Laos , Myanmar , Peninsular Malaysia , Vietnam , and maybe certain parts of southern China ?. I’d like to see their numbers increase too across India , Nepal , the lowlands of Bhutan , Thailand , and Cambodia.

3. Reintroduce true wild banteng to peninsular Malaysia , Laos , parts of far east India , and maybe some parts of southern China ? I’d like to see their numbers increase in Myanmar , Thailand , Cambodia , and Vietnam.

4. Reintroduce gaur to Sri Lanka and parts of southern China. Increase their numbers across India , Nepal , lowlands of Bhutan , Myanmar , Laos , Thailand , peninsular Malaysia , Cambodia , and Vietnam.

5. Reintroduce wild yak to the southern Siberia part of Russia where suitable habitat still exists , and Bhutan. Increase their numbers in Nepal

6. Reintroduce persian fallow deer to Georgia , Armenia , Azerbaijan , Turkey , Iraq , Palestine / Israel , Syria , Lebanon , and Jordan

7. Reintroduce arabian oryx to Iraq , Kuwait , Lebanon , Syria , Yemen , and Palestine / Israel

28. Reintroduce dorcas gazelle to Iraq , Syria , Jordan , and Kuwait

29. Reintroduce chinese goral to Laos and Thailand

30. Reintroduce fea’s muntjac to southern China , Vietnam , and Laos

31. Reintroduce indian spotted chevrotains to the Terai lowlands of Nepal

32. Reintroduce malayan tapirs to southern China , Laos , Cambodia , Vietnam , and Borneo. Maybe Java ?

33. Reintroduce Leopards to Laos , Cambodia , southern China , and Vietnam. Increase their numbers in peninsular Malaysia , Thailand , Myanmar , the lowlands of Nepal , and the lowlands of Bhutan

I know that some of these are not realistic at the moment due to severe deforestation , illegal snaring crisis , weak enforcement against poaching , and in some cases political instability but hopefully these issues won’t last forever in these specific countries. I’ll list some specific areas in said countries where these majestic animals should be reintroduced after a little more research is done

Lately when i talk with people who are all mainly neurotypical , they always assume that i have OCD over aspergers when it comes to my interests and knowledge on said interests. like for example , i’ll study the home ranges of animals meaning what modern day countries / islands / states / provinces , etc they historically and presently still live in , i’ll look at tripadvisor and quickly plan trips for places that i’m interested in traveling to as i really value vacation time , i’ll spend zillions of hours on google maps looking for a new swim hole or some form of nature place to explore with my friends but i think it all has to do with aspergers and not OCD. It took me entering my early twenties to finally understand some body language , non verbal expressions , and facial expressions. I’m blunt with everyone meaning if they treat me badly i will put them in their place for doing so in other words stand up for myself and i’ve always done this even in my shyest years of growing up as wannabe bullies and their sheep that flock to them are the real unhinged losers & lowlives not us. I’m only funny once i get to know the person a little more as i have trust issues due to how toxic this world is and how many flakey “ friends “ have come and gone. Oddly enough , i never am able to form friendships with anyone that i meet with aspergers , i always find it easier making friends with neurotypicals that share mutual interests with me. I had this one co worker with aspergers who i tried to be friends with as i liked to talk with him but he wasn’t interested in being friends with anyone outside of work and he had a much rougher past than i did like really worse so i kinda understand why he wasn’t looking for friends. I hate waking into stores and the work place because my anxiety will start racing a thousand miles per hour in my head making me afraid to make eye contact with anyone. I have to take like 10 deep breaths for it to go away as life requires me to attend both. Am i missing any social disadvantages besides lack of body language , non verbal cues , and facial expressions ? If so which ones ? I’m pretty sure i have aspergers & social anxiety disorder but not OCD. This is all aspergers right ?? Also , Most people i run into think i’m too normal looking to have aspergers and think i’m just using it as an excuse to get by in life. Thoughts ?

Thanks in advance

Hey everyone! So long story short, i’m 26M and really bad at the dating game due to having aspergers and social anxiety. I hate feeling like the dummest man in the whole room anytime it comes to the topic of dating. I don’t really know how to talk to women because anytime i talk to them like “ friends “ it fails every time. I’m not even sure if i know how to flirt properly. Probably not. I’ll say things to them like they smell good , have really nice hair , have a nice smile , and that they look really nice. I don’t know how to flirt with them without giving them the ick. I know not to be overly passionate about my interests because that overwhelms people that are not on the spectrum. It even annoys & over whelms me from time to time. I guess that’s what comes with being high functioning. I’m not a funny person till i get to know the person well like i said i start out shy as it’s hard for me to trust people whether they’re female or male unless they’re much older than me or much younger than me , it’s only a problem with people in my age range. I’m not even sure what these next words even mean but what does flirting appropriately mean ? What does confidence mean ? What does taking interest in their lives exactly mean , like what kind of questions ? I hate being so slow and clueless when it comes to the subject of dating. Please explain to me like i’m 5. I invited her to a local swim hole and she agreed to go! If all goes well i plan on either buying her food and non alcoholic drinks afterwards or go straight to smoothie king for a refreshing smoothie like i did with my last date a month ago. Please explain to me like i’m 5

Thanks in advance everyone

What does it mean when a girl matches with you but doesn’t respond to your opener or your follow up but just matches ? I’ve had this happen 3 times now and i get a fair bit of matches. I try to comment something about their interests off their profile but still no reply to the follow up. Should i just start unmatching when some of them match but don’t respond to the original or follow up opener ? I usually give it 2 days before sending a follow up because i’m not in a rush to jump into a relationship tbh as i have so many life responsibilities to get out of the way by August plus i find it very good for my mental health to not check the app too often or every hour but every few hours. I’ve gone days where i only checked the app once - twice a day.
Weird to me that some of them match with me but don’t respond to the opener or the follow up 2 days later but don’t unmatch either because if they lost interest they could just unmatch right ? What do you guys do when this happens to ya’ll ?

Thanks in advance
