@fredgiblet@ThinkInPeach Fo sho. Especially if you are trying to lead with the wallet or status or something else that she might be enjoying in spite rather than because of you. Try to win someone over with material things and don't be shocked you land a materialistic person.
@poems_past His stalling gets worse every day and I do think something is going on behind da scenes. He's always mad and ranting about nothing/everything.
@poems_past Ironically he is following the political trend for an actual NPC. Start out liberal when young, get old, cranky, mean, jaded and go hard right. :p
@poems_past I think the reason is it was a condition from his mama in exchange for receiving about $6000 "for taxes." Go back to the wedding story and timeline and it makes sense. She wanted him married so he had security if she passed away. Y'know, boomer logic.
@YBCTooCold You're talking about reptile brain, which is different from higher functions. Both are part of who you are. You share the same reptile brain as every other man on the planet. But does every other man like reading or painting or riding horses? Of course not. You are still you.
@Ericrse37986 Democrats as a party are controlled opposition, purchased by large corporations who lean rightward on the whole 1% issue which has come to define the last 40 years of US economic politics. All politicians are purchased by the "haves" of society.
@ThinkInPeach@fredgiblet People forget a relationship is a two-way street and both parties get to choose. If she ain't saying yes then she's soft saying no.
@ThinkInPeach Turns out trying to date someone who isn't into you is a bad idea. Makes it easy for you = into you. Doesn't make it easy? Probably not that interested. Keep it pushing.
@TheoDoesArt Gears has always been pretty homosexual, and I don't mean that in a negative way. For a very long time, the series had no women at all (of note) and all relationships (very close ones) were male/male. I could go even further with the analysis.
@poems_past He orders at least one box for himself for every one box he orders for the stream. Who knows if he's buying the singles yet... You know, to complete his sets.
@blandpolecat I was counting off on my fingers each *separate* shipment as he read them off. I got to at least seven. Mind you, that's each individual SHIPMENT not each BOX. He could have 30 boxes in that chinese card shipment but I count it as 1 shipment.
@Archwinger1 There's two different levels to this shit and men and women talk past each other a lot. A man will bone anything. He won't wife anything. A woman won't bang unless she's at least interested in more (usually.) Different thresholds. Women pre-select before sex. Men select after.
@MattCover The cure is make tuition free but you still need scholastic achievement to graduate. It's already a participation trophy (glorified) so why attach 100k of debt to it? McD still gonna reject the application either way.
@right_inthe_mid I mean, y'all gonna be hearing vile shit from any demographic, because every group has trash people in it. I heard one dude bragging to another... I think about how he was cheating on his girl and she didn't deserve it but he was still cheating. So... Just be decent is all.
@kirbmarc What such types tend to not understand is the questioning mindset must be applied rigorously to everything. It's exhausting. You have to examine everything you think you know and every assumption upon which your worldview is based. It takes a long time. -A former christian
