I feel like the gaming industry needs to actually have an internal discussion about how it handles sex, because it has a really schizoid relationship with the topic.

That dirty, dirty woohoo money. 

You should work for EA because I’ve never wanted to play the Sims till today. Brava! 

This is so fucked up and funny. I loved this.

There are lots of websites/apps that give you an introduction to a language—Duolingo being my favorite—but it can be a real hurdle to advance past just the beginning if you don’t have native speakers around to practice with.

Learning a language doesn’t magically stop once you learn some basic vocabulary. Still need to continue practicing through listening, particularly with real world uses. So while it’s not a great place to start, far from a failure as a learning tool! :)

“Good luck with that.”

Major Major is my spirit animal...

I learned dating in my late 30's..(after not dating for 15 yrs).. way easier to say “you know, just not feeling it”... and cut the cord. Don’t drag shit out... grow up, own it. Even if it doesn’t come out right... just blabber it. And if they want an explanation, give em one even if it hurts their feelings... it may…

Ghosting is. the. worst. It’s infected pretty much everyone and everything. Interview for a job? You’ll never hear back. Join a group? They’ll disappear leaving you hanging. Go on a date? LOL - I have twenty conversations a month with people bemoaning that a four month relationship ended (apparently) because one party…

Go with the classic, “Our date was so bad, I‘m trying to work things out with my ex.”
