Just not being knowledgeable about them and thinking of needing an actual building to go to for in person help for whatever reason

Why get yourself all worked up into a tizzy like this when you can simply say something like, "separate checks please."

The last part of that post you quoted touched on this.

Offering is one thing. The other person expecting and assuming someone is offering, and never even offering themselves, is another.

That's a ridiculous reason to never offer to go half or pay for your own things.

If you need to be paid in compensation for your time to hang out with me, just tell me no lol.

I'll just say I am so glad the friends, family, woman ive dated, and even the woman Im currently with don't have this attitude that I owe them something for them to grace me with their presence.

Same applies to myself, I dont go to a resteraunt, movies, concerts, parks, bowling, etc....... invited or not, just expecting the person who invited me should pay.

We may take turns paying the bill, or go dutch, but never do we just expect it if one of us didn't make it clear or the occasional surprise gesture from one of us is made to cover the bill.

So you'd be ok with someone not saying thank you multiple times when you paid?

Keep simping my friend

Definitely agree with real estate agents. Mine got a $10k commission, paid by me, for doing basically nothing that I couldn't have done myself

This is satire, right?

Ok, good

We know for a fact that he taught them to question the religious indoctrination on evolution they were being fed, and with the pic in the OP it's pretty obvious he did the right thing because they were being indoctrinated with objectively false information.

I disagree. I think it's always a good idea when the "disruption" is preventing mental manipulation of children. What exactly do you want, for him to move in with them for 6 months to make sure the lessons on critical thinking are solidified for the rest of their lives? He taught them to think critically and now the mom/grandma will have to learn how to defend their faith from critical thinking, instead of just indoctrinating these girls into never questioning or asking questions. If they're old enough to text they can always just message/ask him questions as well.

I will always support someone trying to break religious indoctrination to the same degree I would support someone trying to break racist/bigoted indoctrination. Based off what little he's told of the grandma, it doesn't sound like they'd be raising these girls to be sterling examples of Christians, just the kind who plug their fingers in their ears when people start countering faith with facts and going "lalalalala". I consider that harmful for people and always support efforts to end it.

I see it as looking out for the mental health of his nieces.

It's called losing your cool due to others losing their cool. It's a social domino effect and people who lose their cool from others losing their cool need to not be around the source.

Isn't this game non-linear?

But you're at the bottom of the cliff. What if the top can be seen from different angles.

The dumb thing is sometimes games have ladders that you can't climb.

It's wild to me that you can have devs pointing out that testing has discovered that stuff like this is absolutely necessary to some degree every time it comes up and you'll still have know-it-all gamers going "Nuh-uh the devs are wroooong I'm the smartest!"

How so? I didn't think any set of numbers had more chance than any other.

I'd say if there's a policy to "neutralize" the Gazan Palestinians as a threat in the longer term by reducing the resident population to "manageable proportions" by destroying so much of their infrastructure and housing that the Strip will remain largely uninhabitable (I expect the Israeli government to try to block funding for reconstruction), and this policy is known to be killing tens of thousands of civilians either directly through violence, or through hunger, disease, exposure, and the targeting of their healthcare facilities, it's pretty damn genocidal in effect and intent.

i can understand the house but cars? Who is that hurting?

This is actually pretty surprising.

I thought one of the biggest draws of a stream was being able to participate and talk with creators.

You know what my problem is? I am not interesting. What am I supposed to say? I play Dark Souls and Smash Bros? "Ooh, do me, Dark Souls Master, I want you to do me cause you're the Dark Souls guy!"

TC, Ill be straight up real with you. People here guiding you wrong. Youre way too short and cordial.

Every time you talk.

Its like this.

Like youre Amazon support.

loosen up a bit. And youre jumping the gun. Shes like work sucks and you just go So coffee Wednesday?. You put an immediate serious pressure in your responses.

It should go like this.

work sucks

Then you say, oh that sucks/wild, what happened? Yeah work sucked today for me too. Let her talk to you to for a bit. Eventually just say it out after a couple hours. Since Works been rough this week, you down for some coffee later?

You sound so rigid

Did the irony just completely blow past you that the person whining about the "decline of masculinity" is someone who was born a male and is so thoroughly bereft in masculinity themselves that they identify as a woman,

You're far more likely to get hit by another car while you're out in the road changing the tyre than pounced on by a roaming serial killer.

Eh, only when elections are coming up in a few days that I can vote in. Otherwise I aint gonna waste energy worrying about stuff I dont have control over >_> I'd rather use it for important things like improving my skills at my job (which will *actually* make a difference to people's lives) or hobbies
