How'd you meet her? I hope you have fun and enjoy the date at least.

I am trying. I'm trying very hard. Just not doing as well as I'd like. And I don't think it's negative to accept the limitations of my success. I'm not failing. I'm just not gonna be all that popular or make many thousands off this. And that's okay. It allows me to adjust my expectations, appreciate what I have and…

What's the lucky person like?

Heyo!

It really has helped. A lot more than I thought anything would when first posting my original comment yesterday. I can't accurately convey how much you've done for me in these few comments alone. Your words have proven to be invaluable. I'm just so used to my feelings being ignored or glossed over by people who just…

I'm really bad at signals and when people are flirting. Every time I assumed someone was sending me the green light they assured me that they most definitely weren't. That happened so much that I just started assuming no one was actually flirting/signaling. It was safer for my feelings overall.

I'm not sure what people do to meet new people at 30 (or even after college tbh). Especially when they don't really do the bar or club thing. I've met people online but they just end up becoming part of my peer group. Interest groups and other sort of setups have rarely yielded even the most minor of acquaintances.…

Thanks for sharing your story. It really helps because none of my immediate peers have experiences that are even remotely similar. So they're mostly speaking from places that don't quite reflect what I'm going through. They also make a lot of suggestions that while helpful for people that are on a more societal…

Oh. Well if that is the case I'll go ahead then.

Dang. Was hoping to say something here today but it looks like it's too late now. Oh well. Maybe next week.

For me i feel like if other people get to be babes in the woods with training in the field from jump regardless of life and emotional circumstance why am I so singular among my immediate peers where I have to continually level up to even get folks to admit to the possibility of liking me.

I recently read his 22 stories issue on SA. Absolutely charming. I would love to have read an actual DCU run by him.

I lose any argument anywhere online. So I stopped having most of them. Having an opinion online doesn't seem like fun for anyone. But especially in a place where people upvote the person who delivered the smackdown.

He loves superheroes. It's just he thinks his work speaks for itself

I'm trying to get that audience myself. It is difficult without the right support and resources. And apparently it's hard even with those things.

I feel like the crux of the argument here might actually be that a lot of discourse has people pushing views as objective and stuff others MUST accept. There's no correct or incorrect way to engage with anything but there's probably a limit to how hard you push yours or a collective consensus views as correct or…

Yes. Happy belated birthday! 6 months into my own 30s and they're not as bad as I feared. I hope yours turn out well too.

I'd sooner put a moratorium on hype and hot takes and bad faith arguments in regards to discussion of the medium.

That's true. That's all solid advice. I appreciate it.

Those Garfield specials were better than almost any 80s animated special had any business being. And the show was well-made for the time.
