I didn't look like a teenager when I was a teenager. Everyone started thinking I was 30 when I was 13. Very awkward for the adult men who hit on me.

So many variables. Like if a jaywalker came out of nowhere in the middle of the night, with no street lights, wearing dark clothing, obviously the driver isn't at fault. But if it's like in the middle of the day, in a pedestrian heavy area, the jaywalker was wearing bright clothes, and the driver was supposed to be watching and going slow enough to stop, that can be a different situation. :P

I can believe that a man would want women to be allowed to be topless in a nonsexual way. Women should be allowed to be topless because men can show their nipples all they want but woman nipples are somehow taboo. Just the nipples, because you can show literally all of the rest of the breast. It's stupid.

If she was around the same age as you when you got married, I'd bet that the real reason you got divorced was because you were both too young to be married.

I got married when I was 19 but I now fully comprehend how stupid and insane and unlikely to succeed getting married that young is.

I wouldn't worry too much about finding another long term thing or being a beefcake yet. You're SO YOUNG. You probably won't even recognize your taste in women a few years from now. It really is true that these things like to happen when you're not trying.

Yes. But then again I'm talking about real men who work man jobs like construction, factories, or firemen. You know jobs that require work boots. Not to say batistas or cashiers don't have there place too.

We get that all the time when ordering online from the big pizza chains. I don't know what my husband's exact thoughts on it are. To me, it seems fine to just give a normal tip because all they have to accomplish is hand me my food and let me sign the receipt. No one has ever failed to do that.

Persona 5 was really fun until it overstayed its welcome for me. Around hour 70 I was getting tired and I almost hated the game by hour 100.

I didn't have that problem with Persona 3 and 4, so I either liked it less or have less patience for that kind of game time any more. :P

It sounds like you didn't know her. At all. So firstly you need to get your head around that. The feeling of her being special was just infatuation, which feels amazing, but it has to end.

You may need to go to a therapist or psychiatrist for help. Obsessive thoughts can be a sign of underlying mental health issues.

Usually just a mood thing. Some subconscious part of me decides what sounds good at the time. Which is certainly part of why I have a huge backlog, including games I bought more than a decade ago and never played. :P

My ideal would be Bernie but that's farfetched for most people. I don't think any of those people will be the candidate.

Last time around barely anyone knew who he was, by the end of the race his popularity exploded. If he runs again I don't think there's anything the DNC can do to keep him from winning.

By the end of the race his popularity exploded within a specific demographic. The fact that the demographic in question was also the one that shouts loudest on the Internet and social media gives the impression that overall support for him was far stronger than it really is. And like it or not, had he bypassed Hillary, HER supporters likely would have turned against him and anti-voted him in precisely the same way a fair number of his supporters did to her. He would have lost to Trump exactly the same way she did, though the specific results and specific votes wouldn't have been precisely the same.

Next election he'll be older and have even more baggage, and the demographic that was supporting him last time are fickle as fuck. Add in the fact that pretty much everyone is going to position themselves to be the "hero" to save the US against Trump, and will adopt the same sort of PR tactics successfully used in the last election, and Bernie loses a lot of what made him a viable candidate last time in the first place.

If he tries to push for a nomination and actually succeeds (whether for the whole shebang or simply jsut a significant spot in the primaries), he likely helps guarantee Trump gets reelected (sort of in the same sense that Democrats have always hated Nader and the Green Party and felt that they always help Republican candidates win by dividing the Left).

GRTooCool posted...

The US is still behind the times so they're not ready for a female president. If anyone beside her ran against Trump, they would have won.

I'd argue the US is ready for a female President. Just not THAT female. Because a large segment of the population already hated her for decades long before she ever ran, and she always comes across like a bit of a slimy piece of shit.

Ironically, in the election that was basically run on saying "Fuck business as usual!", she was probably the most "Business as usual" candidate running.

And even then, she still had a CHANCE (albeit not a great one), until the potion of the Left disillusioned by Bernie losing turned against her (which was something that horrified Bernie, and which might help discourage him from trying to run again next time).

The Democrats are being handed the greatest opportunity they've had in years to take the White House from the opposition without much of a struggle - IF they nominate the right candidate. But the last time they were in a position like this, they got complacent, nominated John Kerry, and wound up with "FOUR MORE YEARS".

So no matter how much of a slam dunk some people think next election is going to be, they may be in for some bitter disappointment if the Democrats don't start coming up with some better options fast.

My first thought when they tried to go with Hillary was "Good lord, I don't want the first female president to be HER"

I think they had to be way too smug and arrogant and thought the time was perfect for a woman and there was no way it would fail. So they didn't even try to find someone people like.

Right now I think it would be extremely foolish for the Democrats to put anything but a white man against Trump. Now is not the time for pushing equality. Now is the time to give people the least amount of reasons to dislike the candidate. Ugly but realistic. I'm not sure they're that smart though.

It's definitely a hard call on which I like "better". In a way I think they're too different to compare. Like if I crave amazing chile verde, Mexican wins forever. But sometimes I just want gobs of nacho cheese and I'm definitely not getting that from a nice place.

One thing I have to say is that in many places, letting someone live in your house for free for even a few months gives them rights that make it hard to get them to leave. After a few years he could just be like nope, not leaving. Then you have to go through the eviction process... Which a lot of people are too embarrassed or lazy to do to relatives. I know that so, so well.

At the absolute least, get everything very very clearly written down and signed. Preferably talk to a lawyer first.

I've done it so many times, especially when I was a homeschooled kid. Between being sickly, depressed, poor, friendless, and afraid of some of the people living in busses and trailers on the property, that was just how it was. I'm sure I've gone weeks without going outside at some points.

Now I usually at least go outside to water my plants every other day. But I definitely still spend days without going outside sometimes. Nowhere to go, no money, sick, too hot, no privacy...

I know I should spend more time outdoors but it's hard to figure out any excuses for it when I'm not exactly capable of going anywhere on my own. :P

I know depression is it's own beast but sometimes I honestly envy being able to just relax inside like that. I struggle with anxiety a lot and feel like I can almost never relax unless I'm distracting myself with some kind of activity

I have that problem sometimes. I really try to keep myself occupied at all times, even if it's something lazy like posting here. Bad things happen when my brain is left alone to think.

I would have happily voted for Bernie the last time. But then the DNC pooped on him.

Now I feel like he's too poisoned to be the next candidate. Too many people on the right think he's an insane communist and too many people on the left blame him for Trump's win.

the enemies can and will keep attacking you while you're deciding

That's if you set the ATB Mode to Active. If you set it to Wait, you will not have this problem. I think there's an option in this game to do so, actually.

Yeah, that's true. I think active is the default. When you turn it to wait, there is definitely no real purpose to the bars.

Your GF moved in but doesn't live with you on most days? I don't think you know what moved in means.

I know what moved in means. She just doesnt. I tell her she is only living here on paper.

I mean, the purpose of moving in was to escape her mom. She just feels bad leaving the narcissist, which will cause me to leave her in like a year (Im leaving the state in a year). Ive mentioned it already that I cant deal with her being as strong of a people pleaser as she is (or less nicely a doormat). Too many canceled events for silly reasons.

It's definitely the best choice to break up with someone who isn't ready to break up with or at least set strong boundaries with a narcissist parent. The inherent problems involved are endless.
