Wow, thanks for this, I’m definitely going to check this out... I had no idea such a thing existed.

Thanks. There’s a lot there to think about, although a lot of it seems off for me. I’ve always wondered about the ‘random conversation in a store’ thing. Like, I’ve seen it on TV, but I’ve never seen two strangers in my age range (late 20s) strike up a conversation in a store before. Generally, it seems people just…
Hahah. Thanks for the thought out response. Well, I’m definitely not a creepy selective type. I’m pretty much open to anyone, as long as I feel comfortable with them. Companionship/partnership is kind of the biggest draw, in my eyes. My self esteem is pretty solid, these days, I think I’d probably place myself around…
And a single, not-wealthy-yet-but-doing-OK computer nerd, I just have to ask: what do? I can totally identify with Leonard.
Yeah, I’m guilty of putting off savings. My rationalization is that the money is probably more valuable to me now than it will be later. I’m entry level in my career now, and I expect that my rate will go up significantly over the next 5 years. So, I figure as long as I keep my costs roughly level, I can start saving…
This is exactly what killed it for me. I of course started on the hardest difficulty, and less than midway through the game, I just got to the point where I wasn’t really having fun anymore. The alien was no longer terrifying, it was just frustrating. Continually having to sit under a desk while it wanders around the…
Hahah. This made me think of my old days in MOH:AA. We had our own private servers, where we could tweak environment variables and settings to get the gameplay the way we liked it, and enforced etiquette rules to keep things fun and positive. And could make and swap in our own mods or maps to keep things fresh. The…
Yeah, I understand that. Working in extremely high rent areas is a killer. And as you say, for the area, you are only around the middle, so it’s more understandable. I wonder if that’s the case for most people with high nominal incomes.
I’ve got to ask, you or anyone else making similar statements. How is it that people are saying they aren’t living comfortably in the upper third or so of income? I’m fairly comfortable in the bottom 46% for my location. After rent, utilities, vehicle costs, food, insurance, taxes, and student loan payments, I’ve…
Fair enough. May have just been the specific Drs he went to.
Certainly, it doesn’t make sense from that perspective. It’s certainly not for everyone. But yeah, if you are someone who doesn’t like your mole and are fortunate enough to either have lots of money or the right insurance coverage, it’s a nice option. My grandfather certainly isn’t rich, so I assume he’s just…
Not saying anyone should feel obligated to remove moles. You do you. But I recently had a discussion with my grandfather about removing growths, and apparently you don’t want to talk to a dermatologist, you want a plastic surgeon. Surprisingly, the plastic surgeons, which are generally associated with over-the-top…
Am I being too optimistic if I hold a faint hope that this guy was attempting to head off arguments of that nature, rather than trying to make the argument himself? Like, maybe he’s a decent human being, but realizes that he lives in Texas?
Oh shit... I can’t whistle. Dammit. Sorry ladies, I guess I’ve been lying to myself all this time. Bring on the cock.
Wow. I do not remember this ever being a thing. Is it because I was still pre-teen at the close of the 90s? Like, I’ve worn wide legged jeans all my life, year round, because they are comfortable, but 32’’ leg openings? That’s my damned waist size! Boot cut does the job just fine....
Yeah. One hopes that college dudebros aren’t representative of the rest of the gender. Although... that may be overly optimistic.
Yep, I’m with you there. I dated a girl just under an hour drive away, and decided that isn’t for me. I like lots of quality time. All that driving cuts into cuddle time.
Hah. Sounds familiar. As a man on OKCupid. With a good job, a car, my own place, fairly attractive (I hope), big fan of Bernie Sanders. I’ve dropped my standards to: not a drug addict, no kids, not obese. And I’m thinking at this point maybe two out of three aint bad....
LOL. Never heard that one. Not sure it’s related or not. Are these guys known for brattiness?
