I counted that one. Looking at Ivanys post, I realized I was missing the top 9 triangle sized triangle. The two lower ones overlapping so much made it hard to catch that one.

Nice brain teaser.

Can someone explain the 27 because my eyes arent seeing it.

This. I can only get 26.

also to mention

the ned flanders type of nice guy usually doesn't whine about women not liking them as they being generally nice think they are ugly or unworthy or whatever

essentially they attribute issues to themselves and not others is why the a legit actually nice, but it is also why they are a doormat

This.

I also agree with the sentiment a prior poster said about how not particularly having a strong opinion one way or another is seen as being a yes-man. Women definitely do that a lot, and I think its unfortunate.

Naruto's cast was just too large so it was doomed to its fate from the start. If they actually kept up the dynamics of the chunin exam it could have been so much better, but really think of how hard that would be to do and also maintain a 'main' narrative. It would have been way too much.

tbh, Kishimoto had the easiest way to do it.

Lees team was present for Gaara retrieval arc but not used well.

Shikamarus team was present for the Hidan/Kakuzu stuff but not used well.

Hinatas team was present for the Tobi stuff but not used well.

Just actually use them instead of introducing garbage like Sai, and hes golden tbh.

true, i definitely agree with this point. i just feel like the villains are so awesome that it kinda makes up for it. like any member of the akatsuki could be a really amazing boss in some rpg and its pretty neat that the whole squad is that cool.

A lot of people think they failed to stick the landing with the villains.

Sasori was good. (And peak Sakura, tbh)
Deidara was cool, but shafted to suck off Sasuke. Same for Orochimaru.

Hidan was good.
Kakuzu was cool, but wasted to give Naruto a rimjob.

Itachi turned into bad fanfiction. Especially the lame Ill pull this technique out of my ass Kabuto fight.
Kisame was just eh.

Pain was good until Naruto answered an very complex and philosophical question with I dunno. Ill try tho, and killed himself.
Konan was irrelevant.

Madara was too drawn out and his defeat was lame.
Tree Bitch was just bad.

So I feel people dislike Shippuden for wasted potential basically.

Side characters infinitely more interesting than Naruto/Sasuke were shafted.

Shippuden then starts a war arc where, I shit you not, Naruto is told to trust his friends and let them protect him. And Naruto says Nah, theyre scrubs. I got this. and makes clones to fight everyone instead of the neglected side characters.

Like Dragonball never got so bad on Goku does everything.

If they're looking down at their phone I'm honking immediately.

If you honk at me immediately, I will purposely not go until the next go around.

As if people arent occasionally looking up at the light if they are checking their phone at a red light.

The age of credit thing is objectively stupid when it comes to installment loans.

They really should figure out a different way to weigh that. Ive been told FICO does consider closed accounts too.

Credit Karma uses Vantage scoring model, so they only factor open accounts.

Ive never verified it to be sure myself, but seeing as theres so many scoring models, I wouldnt be surprised.

Those are both completely valid reasons not to let someone borrow money though

To be weary, sure. But not decline, imo, if there are other factors that show responsibility. Like successfully paying off other loans.

If simply having more income is the criteria, it should also take into account someones lifestyle. But it doesnt. It only goes by debt and liabilities.

bigblu89 posted...

For real. People are over here shocked that banks arent falling over each other to help people that have proven to be irresponsible with their money.

Hm I feel like the need to use extreme examples is disingenuous.

The scenarios I gave in OP are not individuals irresponsible with money. If anything, consolidating debt (you are currently paying on time, mind you) is the responsible thing.

When I was in my younger 20s, I couldnt get any loans even though I paid for my own apartment, paid off school loans, and had multiple cards paid on time.

But whoops. Credit history not long enough and your income is low. Declined!

Actually need a loan to consolidate debt?

Sorry, credit is too low. Better just keep having worse credit.

First car purchase since youre fresh outta school and have a new job you need to get to?

Heres an 18% interest rate to really have you starting on the right foot since youve no credit history!

Rent prices really screwing you over and want a mortgage thats actually cheaper?

Sorry, dti isnt up to par even though you are currently paying a more stressed monthly arrangement.

Just want to take out a loan to invest with so you can earn back more than the interest would cost?

Heres $30,000, boss. Your millions are safe with us!

This shit is so dumb imo.

Keeping utilization under 30% is definitely going to improve a score.

But theres confusion and mixed reporting on keeping a zero balance vs just a low one. Nobody seems to know whats better.

I dont want to play this card

But I feel a woman is different from a man when it comes to appearance for celebrities.

that idea is dumb as shit

it's not a lack of finance knowledge that makes people poor. it's a lack of money and resources. financial education won't help; there will just be a lot more people in poverty who have some financial education

The amount of people that dont know what a cosigner is and have their credit tanked because of someone else is shockingly large.

As a result, they are definitely financially held back.

Teaching finances would be a major boon.

Yes clearly when girls say it and get modded the problem was phrasing and you know, something more insidious.

You really do lack awareness in how you come off, huh?

Nothing more than be yourself

I would wager that its possible to try gaining confidence while still acknowledging other people play a large role on your confidences success.

Dunno why you keep bringing up doing nothing. :/

Holy shit, thats badass.

Officially earned my support lol.

Smackems posted...

My whole point is that you GET the thing to back it up yourself. That brings the confidence with it

I wasn't talking about anything specific, just in general. of course some things won't be that way. but if you go to the gym and work hard as fuck, build muscle and lose weight, you know YOU did that and you don't even need anyone else to tell you so

I feel were skipping a step.

Theoretically, someone without confidence believes they cant do something or get something.

Youre saying once you get something, youll be confident.

But the fact someone lacks confidence means they cant or wont get the thing. Thats the issue.

Youre saying something similar to find something that brings joy to a depressed person. The problem is exactly that they cant or wont find joy in things.

Your gym example. Someone can go to the gym and work out. Now what? How will they gain confidence? I would suspect they start gaining confidence when their effort is acknowledged by others. Either by compliments or being able to help physically with things for others.

I think gaining confidence is nearly impossible to do without outside affirmation.

Hopefully that made more sense. If you still dont necessarily agree, thats cool. Just wanted to elaborate my thoughts. I like your topic.

Smackems posted...

Doesn't have to be that. You can just MAKE shit go the way you want, and then you'll think "I did that myself. I can do anything now"

I dont believe this to be true at all.

How people react to you and your actions will always shape your perspective.

Like, if you need confidence in public speaking, you cant just get confidence if the audience is judging you as you speak. Itll have the inverse effect.

No Code Veronica? :(

I actually think its imperative to receive positive feedback to gain confidence. If you dont already have a support system or someone that roots for you, youre gonna have a hard time gaining confidence.

In other words:

Not every person with 0 confidence started that way either.

The topic I saw this morning that has the comments about Taion was deleted, but one guy in that topic said that they had not seen a good Black character in any game, which is just ridiculous, even with how few Black people there are in games.

Well. I dunno lol.

I feel like TC made up the people he saw.

Real talk. Not wanting to date bi guys is rooted in homophobia. The guy is deemed lesser because of it.

We dont have to pretend its not.

I still wouldnt give a shit unless she has other discriminating tendencies. Because unlike the paragons of CE, I realize people come from different backgrounds and experiences.

So long as she isnt hateful or acts out against gay/bi guys, I dont give a shit since the scenario where her aversion could be revealed is negated by dating me.

Shes hot despite her tattoos

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


These are the correct opinions.

To me, tattoos will never increase attractiveness. It wont necessarily decrease, but I really dont see the appeal.

To each their own.

haloiscoolisbak posted...

Feeling unattractive like I did years earlier. Or forming unrequited feelings lol.

It was a genuine issue for me, I was so used to platonic friendships with girls that sexual tension and flirting became really difficult to create with girls. I got past that then found being able to bang girls didn't magically fix my confidence , so that's why I'm going this route

With women you may be attracted to, there will always be a risk that you can catch feelings. As a result, you may be affected if they dont reciprocate those feelings.

However, you would reap positive benefits from a friend that would ideally offset those possible downsides. Someone wanting to be friends with you should at least convey people like being around you. I think in your case, you should focus on that aspect instead.

People not wanting to be romantically involved doesnt necessarily have anything to do with you. This lady liked your picture and wanted to hang out. That means youre attractive in the sense of being cool to be around.

I think youll be fine. Once you realize not every woman has to be a potential mate or partner, youll benefit greatly from platonic female friends. Whether they are single or not.

If youve been able to establish intimacy despite being used to platonic interactions, I would wager you shouldnt worry about being stuck in friend mode

Wtf is this question.

I really dont understand the men and women cant just be friends crowd.

What are you worried about, TC?

VayneSolo posted...

Easy. You have an XX pair of sexual chromossomes and you're female. In our species, a female is known as a woman. You have an XY pair of sexual chromossomes and you're a male, also known as a man in our species.

I think youre inflating sex with gender. So Female is what youre thinking of. Which isnt the same as woman, currently.

I would say with the current information available, a woman is someone who is either biologically a female and identifies as their biological sex, or a biological male who identifies as a gender other than man or non-binary.

I. Would use that as the best definition with what I know. I think that would cover most things, right? There will be a population of people who dont fall into that definition, but I assume they wouldnt identify as a woman then.

As far as gender expression (which isnt necessarily the same as pronouns), man, woman, non-binary seem to be the main three identifications.

But if Im wrong, please let me know. As the interviewer is obviously trying to start shit. But I think its a good clarification.

Im sweating buckets hoping its not true.

I took that part to be a hes healthy, young, and doesnt seem to be at risk, but I definitely got the wrong impression of TC overall it seems.

I think the distinction here is that people can be degrees of bigotry. Or having bad views.

Not dating Bi guys is pretty low on the list of bigotry for someone who isnt Bi. And if shes dating me, I really dont see how that affects anything ever.

Unless she treats gay guys and Bi guys differently, who cares?

CyricZ posted...

Some real "you made me do this" vibes, cuttin.

Nah, youre right. Im rereading TCs posts, and it is kinda trolly from the get go.

I projected a bit. My bad.

I think TCs point is that in context, the barista wearing a mask is suspicious due to no one else wearing.

If everyone isnt, Starbucks must not have a policy about it. So the barista is either wearing one for his own protection (which if hes a barista, makes sense), or hes trying to protect others from himself (TCs concern).

CE likes to take every opportunity to be morally superior of course. But in summary:

ChocoboMogALT posted...

Policy at Starbucks is you must wear a mask for 10 days if you come into close contact with someone with COVID and test negative. Some people also choose to wear a mask.

I4NRulez posted...

If they are healthy and practice safe sex who cares?

I assume the question is in the context of datability.

Someone who goes through partners extremely fast is less likely to be faithful, imo. It implies sex is casual sport for them, or worse, a dependent factor in some fashion.

We can pretend it doesnt matter, but it does.

Depends on timeframe more than overall amount.

20 partners in 40 years is different than 20 partners in the span of a month.

It has nothing to do with anal sex. It is primarily infecting gay men because the outbreak started in a sub population that was gay and promiscuous. The virus spreads most easily by contact and sex is an activity that involves that.

Oh wow. I actually didnt know this. In that case..

Dat_Cracka_Jax posted...

Is it really that bad? I haven't been following it

CEs biggest crush is easily AOC.

Anyone else just has one poster propping them up.

Personally, I would do it if a couple of factors were resolved:

1) Its not covered by insurance. If it is, only a specific amount of sessions. Same with EAP. America doesnt give a shit about mental health, and I cant afford to pay for the frequency I would actually benefit from.

2) Therapists are often times not even available. So youre forced to pick ones who may not be a good match for you. I personally have had no success seeing older white women as a younger black guy, but thats all who is available in my area. The people of color and men are usually booked.

3) Sessions are only an hour. When I talk to my friends about deep stuff, we talk for hours. Having only an hour feels like I can barely discuss anything important, and having to waste my first few sessions building context is a bit impersonal.

4) Its still therapy. I cant shake the feeling that its just their job, and it makes it hard to trust them tbh.

Ironically, my very first therapist was amazing. But I only got to see him because I was friends with his friend and I was referred at a huge discount. He had his own practice in his own house. He even had an Ein dog that I enjoyed seeing. Which I think helped me trust him faster tbh. But once I had to pay full price, I couldnt afford him.

Personally, I just rely on self therapy at this point.

But until the memo came out, you didnt know either? You brought it to light, and now we all know.

Do you want a fucking parade or something? What are you in here trying to prove? That you somehow care more than the rest of us?

Ngl, I havent been participating but this post triggered me lol.

TC getting gaslight like a motherfucker in here.

I, personally, appreciate this information TC. When I bring up how businesses like BoA dont give a shit about the well-being of others to my snobby brother, Ill have another clear example for him and his ilk.

Different banks handles it differently.
