Who keeps track of the number of people they sleep with?

What is this, high school?

Unless the number is astronomically high, I think most people tend to remember how many people they slept with..I mean sex is generally more memorable than what you ate for dinner last week so you don't need a keep a spreadsheet of all your partners to actively track them...Unless you're a promiscuous person, or drunk/high all the time, you should probably remember what the number is.

Diners by me are usually pretty good. Nothing to write home about, but usually hit the spot when you're looking for something quick, decent, and easy.

I'm white, my grandparents came here from Italy with next to nothing. They were discriminated against and oppressed. Should I be compensated for that? I'm not rich, I sometimes get pulled over by the police, I don't receive any special treatment, and I work for everything I have. Where's this white privilege that supposedly exists?

You have no idea what white privilege actually means. It means your sucky life would suck even harder if you weren't white, not that white people are all millionaires.

You're clearly the expert. In an intelligent way, please give me an example of my white privilege. I'm pretty sure no special treatment covers it all

As Golden Road said, you're misrepresenting what privilege is.

If life was a video game (an MMO, for purpose of analogy), privilege would be the difficulty setting, and "straight white male" is the lowest setting.

This does not mean that any part of the game is completed for you; you still have to do that yourself. It does not mean that when you randomly generate your character you will not wind up with shitty stats or low starting cash or spawn in a bad area (although, statistically speaking, your odds of having better rolls in those last two categories are improved, though far from guaranteed). It doesn't mean that there are no difficult areas of the game that you will struggle with.

The only thing it means is that specific parts of the game are easier for you than it would be for someone with a different difficulty setting if all else was equal.

Note that this also does not mean that you will automatically do better than those playing on higher difficulty levels. Maybe they rolled better stats than you or those stats are better distributed to yield a successful character. Maybe they specialized in a more lucrative area or their starting wealth roll was good. Or maybe they're just flat-out better at playing the game than you are. You can play on the lowest difficulty setting and still lose, be that through poor planning, poor execution, or just simply bad luck.

Saying "Well I'm white and male and my life still sucks" does not disprove that privilege exists and you benefit from it. Again, white privilege is not someone who comes along and hands you a free university degree and six figure income - you still have to work for that shit yourself if you want it. It is simply a statement that you will not experience, or will only experience to a much lesser extent, some of the inherent challenges in life (systemic discrimination, bigotry, sexual violence, etc.).

This is total bullshit. All of it

Having a car is literally the definition of privileged.

Yes, having a car is privileged. That does not change that, all other things being equal, a white person with a car has more privilege than a person of color with a car. Privilege isn't all-or-nothing.

I have news for you.. You've been lied to.

I'm not sure how knowing what white privilege actually is makes me an expert (does knowing what math is make me a math expert? Is that how it works?), but you gave me a simple example, getting pulled over by police. That would happen more often if you were not white.

In order to get pulled over by police, you would need a car.

Having a car is literally the definition of privileged.

Yea. I paid for my car. With money from the job that I have. That's not white privilege.. What would be was if I got the car for less money because of my race. Last I checked, anyone can buy one

That's a terrible example. Also, I've only been pulled over by non white cops..So...Was I discriminated against?

To start, he just wasn't that interesting and I found it hard to relate to him.

I agree with others here who said that his voice acting was bad, which can totally change the perception of character. In fact, FFX was the first time (and not the last) I've ever said that I wish there were no voice actors.In a way, old school "having to read text" RPGs allowed for the player to give the characters their own personalities. Tidus just came off as annoying to me.

For those who picked certain that there is or certain that there isn't, I'd love to know what makes you so certain. Serious inquiry

Roman gods? Disproven
Greek gods? Disproven
Egyptian gods? Disproven
Aztec gods? Disproven
Mayan gods? Disproven
Babaloyian (sp) gods? Disproven
Etc
They've all been proven beyond a reasonable doubt to be nothing more than man-made stories, so why should the Christian god, Jewish god, Islamic god, etc get free passes?

None of them have been proven or disproven to the point of certainty, and your logic is faulty if you're going for absolutes

You think the guy who says anything he thinks people want to hear has a spine? He has puppeteer arms so far up his ass they're controlling his movements.

I do. I also believe you're the one being controlled like a puppet.

Which goes to show how oblivious you are.

You're lining up and bending over for a moron. Enjoy.

This. Stop telling her about your ex. It really doesn't matter what you guys talk about, you're asking for trouble of you bring up your ex to your current GF.

Don't say anything. If you keep bringing up your ex, regardless of the context, your current girlfriend will be annoyed.

As long as you are not cheating or flirting, what you choose to say to your ex is your business and you do not need to talk about it with anyone else. If your current GF can't handle that or constantly questions you about your ex, then she's probably an insecure person or does not trust you. That's something you will need to decide whether or not you can deal with.

I'm saying that if you're going to the gym consistently you could be "losing weight" but not having the scale move because you're losing fat and gaining muscle at the same time. But muscles won't know because he's not weighing himself. So you're changing body comp but maintaining your actual weight. Body comp is more important than the number on the scale ultimately.

Ah yes. This is true.

Exercise to lose weight is a schmuck's game. Gym is for muscles gain, not fat loss.

Adding muscle mass increases the calories your body will naturally burn. So if you keep cutting enough calories while putting on muscle, you will lose fat.

Losing fat while putting on muscle means you'll still be maintaining some amount of weight.

Well yea. No one wants to go to the gym to lose muscle and fat

That's got nothing to do with my sentence at all.
