TopicAs a Corona guy, Heineken is nasty as fuck

Heineken poured into a beer glass is actually alright. In the bottle, yea, its skunky.

Its main claim to fame is just that its extremely reliable, its everywhere, and its a better 5% abv option than something like Budweiser.

Does any US school teach much on Vietnam? I mean the US lost while being the bad guys and committing war crimes. Its like schools over here in the UK very much ignore the Empire and the horrible shit we did.
Sort of, mainly since the Vietnam War ties into presidential history in key ways a few times. So US History teachers emphasize parts of that war.

Yes, but that was when I was really young. And I think technically the internet was already around, just super limited.

But then when I did know internet as a kid, for many years it was the dial up version and my older brother usually hogged it at home. To me it was more of a thing I associated with school.

masticatingman
09/09/23 9:02:57 PM

That sounds like pretty serious hemming and hawing from her and youre not married or with kids from what I saw in the thread.

Which means that she likely physically or at least emotionally cheated on you already and is basically egging you on to end the relationship anyway so she can look like the good guy to her family or anybody else that asks.

If you were married or had kids, itd be different, but its probably time to just give her what she wants - a firm break up. Leaving a fianc doesnt really matter today like it mightve used to.

I mean, the lower end type of jobs these days are kinda feasible for people...but they're very unlikely to be living in the American "ideal" situation of not needing welfare / living on their own. Cost of living is just way too high generally. If they do still manage to pull that off, they're likely living spartan as hell.

masticatingman
09/03/23 4:17:54 PM

He's sort of the asshole if he got in a shouting match with a person he already agreed to go on a date with. Sounds like she matched up to her pics.

As far as t/s saying exactly who/what they are to a guy...there are multiple layers to that discussion. I think the common sense thing right now is that t/s are usually advised to be up-front about it to be proactive and avoid possible violence. In that sense, he's not much of an asshole since he paid for the meal and just peacefully left. Anything beyond that is parsing something for no purpose.

I can say as a guy myself though that I think it's kinda implicit guy code to soldier thru a date. You're already on the date - may as well go thru with that much. It's not likely you're planning to do anything else in the meantime anyway. I've personally been on many unpleasant dates and you just ghost them after and call it a day.
