The whole system is a scam. If you don't go to college, it is extremely hard to get a great job. However, if you do go, you still aren't guaranteed a great job and you go in debt unless a great scholarship or generous, rich parents.

I wonder if trade schools should become more of a thing where one can learn the proper tools for a decent (albeit probably just middle class) career.

It feels like an alien inside you. Feeling kicks and squirming, etc, especially in the later months. Near the end it looked like I had a chest burster inside of me, I could pull my shirt up and show people her squirming across my belly. It gets extremely uncomfortable in the last weeks.

And yeah pregnancy in general is terrible

I definitely remember watching the alien squirming.

The one thing I enjoyed is that the sex had to be a little more inventive. At certain times, she got a LOT more hormonal. Other times, not at all.

I can state that my ex wife was nauseous in the first trimester and quite uncomfortable in the third. She said the second was pretty good, but she couldn't have wine lol

I finally successfully ordered a PS5 yesterday and now I can't concentrate out of anticipation. I likely won't get it until Monday but still. Working from home definitely fails when distracted.

What should I play first? My gf got me Miles Morales back in March for my birthday and I plan to go pick up Demon's Souls right away. Ratchet & Clank and Returnal are on my list too.

the actual problematic age gap in video games is how i, a 35 year old, will always get dunked on in fighting games and RTS games by young kids because i don't have the kind of hand-eye coordination, twitch reflexes, or energy i used to when i was a young kid myself

I don't know. I am 44 and my skills and reaction time just gets better and better with experience

No. How dare you explore your own mind if it can be perceived as disrespectful if you completely overlook nobody being disrespectful about it. How dare you maybe find out something about yourself that wasn't on the surface until you thought about it.

This. I find this topic incredibly problematic, even if it's just a hypothetical.

Look, it's 2021. You can have what is (or should be) formerly known as "male anatomy" and be 100% female (and vice versa).

C'mon. I agree with your second point, but the first is ridiculous

I'm on disability but I still live with my parents, I do feel guilty sometimes, but I'm sure they feel guilty for shit they've done to me so there is some give and get.

I didn't know you were on disability. I thought you simply didn't want to work. I'm sorry.

Yes, but see my above post. It is basically an expansion if you already own the game

Sounds fun but not quite worth buying and playing through the whole game again for.

I'll wait for the full sequel for more Ghost.

You don't have to if you have the game and a saved file. $19.99 to upgrade for PS4 DC and $29.99 for PS5

I guess I'm too old, or just out of touch, but this thread is the first time I heard the term "NEET".

Other than mooching of Mom and Dad, how do people afford being a NEET?

I'm with you. And regardless of how you get by, don't you feel bad about mooching off others and not contributing?

And I just learned what NEET meant a couple months ago.

I would almost expect judging a 10/10 perfect girl to be the definition of crazy standards. Perfect is pretty hard to do. Which is what the topic is asking for. 10/10 girls. It didn't say post 10/10 girls only if you're also a 10/10 guy.

My point still stands. Directed more at some of the people reading the topic than the topic itself per se. If it doesn't apply to you, then that is good for you (not sarcasm)

Whoa, are you ok? I think you need to simmer down. The topic is about perfect 10 girls. People are allowed to disagree on what a perfect 10 is. No need to get upset by it.

Not upset. Just pointing out that if guys here complain that they can't get dates, but then have crazy standards, it is kinda self-defeating. And it is not everyone here, but I have seen enough people on this site and in real life complain about "average" looking women when they aren't even average themselves. And then they complain about how no women are into them and blame it on the "Chads". Once again, this is not everyone by any means,

I will also say that lots of women who are not a physical "10" can become sexy as hell once you talk with them and watch their body language and mannerisms and listen to how they talk. Chemistry is awesome.

You gotta do 1/2 your age +7 for an age that's not creepy. So if you're older than 24, it's probably creepy.

Granted, I am 24, but like I remember me after I finished high school. I wouldn't want to put up with me at that time.

Not applicable for a one night thing.

Also, my relationship even fails that, but just barely (44 and 28)

That's exactly it.

What racist part? I was being racist? I hope I wasn't.

This sums that up:

"Like "Hey guys, I know this person said that minorities don't deserve human rights and has actively encouraged others to think the same way, and actively votes in a way to strip rights away from others, but let's give them a chance. They haven't actually killed anyone...""

You can argue that that isn't exactly what you were saying, but I would also argue Umbreon wasn't saying exactly what you thought he was either.

Well Slayer, I attempted to see eye to eye with you. Try to see your reasoning over why I did what you've accused me of, and you can't even do that.

So I'm left to conclude that you're just really really upset over being questioned over your indifference over racism.

It was this statement: "Yeah just ask all the women who get abused by men they thought they could change." It could be taken as blaming the victims for going back to them. I don't think that was what you were doing but he is triggered due to his gf.

That said, Slayer needs to back off about the racist part.

He's straight up putting the fault on the victims for going back.

I'm not actively looking to date racist people. But if I'm dating someone and they happen to be racist, yes, I'm all for change. That is what I assume the initial post was about.

He wasn't putting the fault on abuse victims. But looking back on the posts, I can see how it could be taken that way by someone who is sensitive to it.

Because it's the question TC posed. I've also dated an abuse victim, which is apparently just as bad.

If I'm dating someone who happens to be racist, I'm not gonna break up with them just because they exist. I will try to change the person.

Obviously if the person is violent or doubles down and makes it an issue, that is a different story. But the way TC frames it, it's something that affects nothing but can be changed, imo. And if it can't, that is a different story.

No one said dating an abuse victim is bad. WTF?

But you didn't answer the question. Why start dating them in the first place? I mean, if we had been together for months and I love them and then I learn about racism, I might try to see if there is hope of change. But usually you know pretty quickly if the person you are dating is racist.

Because people can change.

So...you are the one bringing up fucking abuse, and you keep bringing it up for no reason except to win some shitty argument on the internet.

Then date them after they change. Can you answer why you would knowingly start dating a racist, as opposed to, I don't know, a non-racist?

Fuck off with your weird obsession with comparing abuse victims to racism, dude. It's in bad taste, and entirely unnecessary. Jesus fucking Christ, you can make your point without 'oh, abuse victims!!!11'.

As someone who grew up with a racist biological father, I know what racism leads to. I also know racists that have changed their minds, some don't, but to immediately dismiss every single racist because 'oh, it could be bad' is just asinine.

I will dismiss every racist from my dating pool, and any self respecting person who isn't overly desperate would do the same.

People deserve a chance. Immediate dismissal will only reinforce shitty beliefs.

I agree people deserve a chance. If they change, I won't judge them for past beliefs. Or if I meet them while they have said beliefs, I will talk with them. But I sure af wouldn't date them. As I said, plenty of women.

Yes, but this situation isn't comparable to a fucking abuse victim. Its a mindset that isn't outright dangerous. Both are situations you can handle differently ffs.

The vast majority of bigoted people don't change. Why would I waste my time with a toxic woman when there are so many women out there?

You were suggesting "Give horrible people a chance, they can change!" were you not? I'm just pointing out how dangerous that advice is.

You can't change someone, they have to be willing to change themselves. If someone is racist, they aren't going to magically stop being racist just because you were nice to them.

You are correct, sir
