Actually..the “before anyone else” backronym is the false etymology, appearing years after “bae” was first used as a short form of “babe”

No it was actually a random and stupid shortening of baby from back in 2003, kids made up the “before anyone else” thing way later in 2011 to try and pretend that it wasn’t a random/stupid shortening.

Oh yes, as I mentioned in another post, I misunderstood what she was referring to when she said that “many people do it.” I agree that there are plenty of people who willingly choose to remain abstinent before marriage, for various reasons, or because life gets in the way i.e. having a new kid is probably one of them.

Ahh that is a good point. I think I misinterpreted the point she was trying to make. I don’t think that Ciara and Wilson are lying about waiting, or unhappy, and you’re right, it’s unfair to leap to conclusions about that.

I posted one of the earlier comments asking if there was a correlation, but I don’t intend to question or give Ariahead any crap. I believe her when she said that it’s something that personally worked for her.

Ah, I understand. I just wanted to point out though, that rather than your assertion that “People do it all the time,” you and your partner were probably atypical, and happen to have a dip in libido at the same time. Otherwise in the mass majority of cases, a year of abstinence is usually related to a break up (either…

I think the key word is “last year of our relationship”. I wonder if there was any correlation between being abstinent for a year, and that year being the end of the relationship?

So you don’t tip your server if, due to not fault of theirs, you had to wait a total of 3o minutes after your reservation time to get a table, and you only see your server for a total of 5 minutes (asking your order, delivering your food, and refilling your drunks multiple times)?

You can technically do your taxes yourself, do you tip your accountant? You can technically drive to the next state and pick up packages yourself, do you tip your Fedex guy? (20% of whatever that package cost too!).

You know “forced tips” is just charging you what the food would cost without optional tipping right?

Haha yes! If I had to pick my favourite 10 minute segment of film, it might be that opening! And that is far more serious and deep conveyance of the sense of loss and missed opportunities in life than Megaman failing to save his newest love interest and using that scene entirely as an excuse to swear vengeance against…

Oo thanks for the recommendation. I’ll go look for it.

Ah yes, you’re right.

Haha that Dorkin strip is perfect! I need to figure out a way to save it!

Didn’t they position Hive as the origin of demons/hell in AoS?

Ha, yes I discuss this in greater detail. But ironically, DCCU’s approach reflects the goal of making adolescents think they’re being “serious” and “adult” by reading “serious comics” while still appealing directly to that audience. Shading everything dark, adding some “dark violence” and crudely making “serious”…

Not sure if you’re making the same point, by ironically DC’s approach - making it “dark” and “serious” to try and be “adult” (quotation marks emphasized) is exactly what keeps it juvenile. Making everything grim and gritty is exactly how adolescents try to pretend and think they’re adults, much like the whole goth and…

I’m not christian, and from my moral perspective I personally see Scenario A as immoral and Scenario B as moral. But I just wanted to point out that your perspective is flawed, because it still relies on an arbitrary moral system. Just as some people follow a moral system that find Scenario’s A and B immoral, you…

He pretty much said that, by stating her that loving her means that he has to respect her and realize that he is not the right person for her and she has the right to find happiness with other people.

I think he did that - he specifically states that “love her” include realizing he is not the right person for her, to let her go and be happy however she wants to be.
