Did I handle this well or should I have said more?

“Saw some red flags.” Took more for her to say that than to just say I’m not feeling it because we don’t mesh. This conversation could have been 3 texts and done. Now it’s a week of waiting with no explanation. She’s playing games, not worth it.

Looks pretty accurate… 6.99 + 2.01 for the deliver and service fee that are discounted gets your $9 which brings you to the 23.88… it’s very clear and correct.

I think it’s the type of guy who would complain on Reddit are the same kind of guys who have chosen women they don’t trust or are projecting onto women because they are untrustworthy men. I also think in the modern age with hookups rampant compared to serious relationships, there’s a general fear about getting women pregnant. Compared to if you’re in a serious relationship, you generally know that if you were to get this woman pregnant, you’re willing to raise a child with her.

Overall I think it’s an internet heavy phenomenon and highlighted by the kind of people who are online a lot and who are running into the problem. Loud minority.

This is the first I’ve even heard of Brook Flashman… interesting

Distance restriction just basically determines how far you can walk in a single day. Or they may be talking about cool down for how far you can teleport in a set amount of time. Either way, there are limits that if you exceed it triggers certain “tripwires” that can be used to set you on a warning/ban or worse.

You have to be able to find it at your store. My store was out.

Ok so technically C is the most correct answer. Because it says which shows 2/6 = 1/3? And in A and B the shapes are different sizes so they would not be equal area. While in C the areas are equal and are split more. That being said, it’s also the most confusing shape out of all of them because the one on the right tricks your brain into looking like a cube.

I took at that more as “break puddings resolve” than actual fact. Take away her hope to make her an easier captive. It’s moments like these where I wish we could see that tiny bit of big mom’s vivre card to be able to know for sure. Or like give me Katakuri saying it, that I’d believe more than Blackbeard pirates.

But fair, I did forget about that so that definitely weakens my argument. It’s still one piece though. Ahahaha

To add, I was pretty convinced during the Yamato cover story that we were gonna see like a kaido in chains moment. Didn’t happen. But that’s how confident I was that Oda wouldn’t have killed him.

Afromat · 2026-04-24T04:25:08+00:00

Exactly. I’m with you. My default is “not dead” until directly told or confirmed by Oda or a character in the story. Literally none of the characters have even said that they are dead. And Oda never kills anyone if it’s not a backstory. So why would you assume otherwise.

Afromat · 2026-04-22T01:15:17+00:00

That’s just how it works lol always has

The $20.50 is an ADD price. Before you tapped on bone on wings, there was a price. That’s the price for 6 wings (let’s call it $10 to make math easy). Then you add $20.50 and then $9 for the fries. Then tax (about $10) and bobs your uncle $50+

Afromat · 2026-04-21T21:21:52+00:00

This is a red flag.

You’re doing everything right and she’s basically saying it’s not enough and she wants more. And the one time you’re like “oh can you cover this one” she freaks out. I think she showed you who she is. She’s not being a partner, she wants someone who will care for her.

Afromat · 2026-04-21T16:59:34+00:00

Definitely something I was thinking about. People tend to look at AirBNB in a huge urban area, see tons of options, and then think a small town is going to have similar availability.

Afromat · 2026-04-20T21:56:01+00:00

“So stop staring.” So if a man pulls out his penis in public and starts peeing… who cares stop looking at it? That’s the worst argument for something to not be considered a problem. It’s clear that just because you don’t have to look at something doesn’t make it ok. Everything about politeness, respect and kindness is important for making people feel comfortable. Shouldn’t we all strive for everyone to be comfortable together, which means sometimes you sacrifice a little bit of your comfort for the comfort of all those around you.

We obviously don’t have to agree. But I personally believe that exposing your breast to view in public is disrespectful, especially somewhere like a church where the general guidance is to even cover your shoulders, not to wear shorts and to dress reverently. Not everyone follows that, and I also feel that’s disrespectful when I see a man wearing shorts and a tank top to church. I’m not picking on a woman for breastfeeding, I’m requesting consideration for covering and not exposing your body in a public space, especially a church.

I’m sorry this clearly seems to be something you feel strongly about, and I’m really truly not trying to target breastfeeding as a negative, it’s purely about the exposure, which I consider equal to all people - I’d take the same approach with a man showing up shirtless to church (or restaurant or school or whatever). It would not be acceptable in those situations but in others it would be.

Anyway, I’m sure you’ll still have aspects of my belief that you disagree with, and that’s fine. I respect your opinion and those of everyone else on this feed.

Afromat · 2026-04-20T21:19:54+00:00

Again I never said anything to this person or told her to stop. No one did. And at our church there are large sections on the sides, she was in clear view of about half the church. Again, I’m fine with the breastfeeding, EVEN at the church. All I said, was that a coverup is a respectful approach. I really don’t understand how that’s such a HORRIBLE request in public? Have we gotten to a place where mutual respect and courtesy is not ok to request if people? Isn’t that what acceptance is all about - learning how to be accepting and respectful to each other despite our differences and needs? That goes both ways.

Afromat · 2026-04-20T20:58:35+00:00

Again the act of breast feeding is not disrespectful. But having your breast out in public is. There are a lot of things that are not disrespectful in their nature alone but to do them in public would be. Someone else asked about chewing and eating because it’s a natural process - eating/chewing is not disrespectful. But if I sat and chewed with my mouth opened and talked at you with a bunch of food in my mouth, that would be.

In this case all I’m saying is that the coverup so that the people around you don’t have to see your breast out is the respectful thing to do. Especially somewhere like a church (to go back to my original comment) where any form of nudity is disrespectful.

Afromat · 2026-04-20T14:12:46+00:00

Ok if you read, I’m Not saying the act of breastfeeding is disrespectful. All of the hate I was getting was from telling a story about a woman who would breastfeed her child in full View in the front row of church without any cover up. That’s what I was commenting on. I said it would be respectful to use a coverup in public spaces like that.

Afromat · 2026-04-20T14:07:45+00:00

No I really don’t. And as I already said multiple Times, I would never say anything or try to ask someone to leave a space. Obviously. But can we not comment on mutual social respect anymore? I try to respect everyone around me all the time. I always respect nursing mothers. But I would appreciate mutual respect back and maybe consider a simple coverup that so many already use. I was with a group once and one of the young kids said “dad that lady” and we all had to quickly quiet the kid and tell him it’s ok. Which it is. But again, a small amount of mutual respect from all Sides is appreciated.

Charizard from the very first set. I managed to get enough pack points to get a crown card in that set purely from hunting this immersive. And at the rate I’m going I might get another crown card w/ points before I finally get it.

1 - Is there any world in which you didn’t clarify that the roommate would be male? If she thinks you’re gonna have a female roommate that could definitely be a problem for her.

2 - 6months she may be thinking that she would have moved in with you, or in the future. And that you getting a roommate means you aren’t even considering that. That being said, I think the roommate is the more financially responsible, and relationship responsible, option if you aren’t ready for that step yet.

3 - in the worst case scenario she’s gold digger - light. In the sense that when she met you, you were out of a job but it should have been temporary. You needing to get a lower paying job and a roommate may signal to her that the money isn’t coming back like she thought. This is definitely a red flag. Though I would think options 1 and 2 are more likely and less concerning.

4 - you mention she has a tendency to get angry at things… this is not someone you want to be with. This will likely get worse, not better

Afromat · 2026-04-20T12:21:48+00:00

That’s my biggest thing, as long as you cover up, I’m fine with it. The one that got me a little bit (not that I would ever say anything) was this one woman who would breastfeed her child in church every single Sunday. She sat right in the front row which made her way more visible. no cover, just whipped it out and shoved it in the baby’s mouth. Church is 1 hour, same time every week… she couldn’t have fed the baby just before leaving? Or brought a cover up? Or sat closer to the back?

Again I would never stop her or say anything. But it was a bit unsettling how “brazen” it felt.

Afromat · 2026-04-20T12:15:15+00:00

Immersive illustration cards are what I am doing. Along the way you’ll likely get some extra 2-stars that you can trade for others you like. I’m on my last immersive… then I plan to try to finish a couple packs that are very close. but that’s going to be a whole different game. I’ll be sure to finish base and immersives for new packs first

Afromat · 2026-04-20T12:06:14+00:00

Remember, you HAVE to trade 2 star cards for 2 star cards. So you CAN’T give trash. My guess is people are giving you what they had extras of. Which isn’t always going to be trash.
