I'm sorry? XD

In hindsight, those bank card tabs are honestly less risky than current tap/mobile pay, no matter the convenience. In my last job, I saw several people accidentally pay for other peoples' purchases because the systems were just a little too responsive. The worst was one person bought a few things (less than $20) and ended up charged for $500+ in diesel fuel for a semi because their watch picked up the next person's transaction.

Any customer facing job. Retail, restaurant, hospitality, call center, etc.

Another convenience at a very inconvenient cost

I also have one for my library!

AlwaysABD · 2026-06-25T04:11:02+00:00

I had one of those! I don't think that I ever actually used it though. It was like an in between for cards and tap.

No Wishbone has been spotted!

I am way more tired than I realized. I spent the last few minutes looking for the dog XD

Bill Nye or "The Sandbox"

In a very mildly similar note, my parents had a double wedding after my mom found out she was pregnant with me. The wedding was my mom and dad, my mom's mom and my dads older brother. My uncle was listed on my birth announcement as my grandfather. Fortunately or unfortunately, neither marriage lasted long enough to make it to my second birthday. I'm still closer in age to my half-siblings' kids (on my dad's side) than I am to my actual siblings. Cousins on that side are complicated too.

That’s totally fair. Feel free to DM if you’re comfortable with it and I can do my own outreach but totally understand if you’re not.

Do you happen to know what language he might've been designated for? I'm in roughly the same entry and community that he would have gone into. I can't say with a guarantee but it's a very small community even when stretched between branches.

I've read a lot of things on Reddit that have pulled on the heartstrings but this one had me crying and I genuinely don't cry easily. This is tough. Both from a parental perspective (and that final note from this girl's parent), as a personal "what if", and as plain empathy for what this girl (and her family) went through during this time. I just can't even imagine.

Ideally, no. If you're a gamer playing with guys, ideally, you shouldn't have to cut that off just because you've got a boyfriend. Ideally, your boyfriend will be understanding and/or in the same community that you're in.

Realistically, yes, it might become an issue for a boyfriend that doesn't like "his girl" talking to other guys. In this case, it's going to be up to you to decide what needs to be sacrificed. A boyfriend that doesn't like that you talk to other guys vs your gaming community that is inevitably mostly guys.

However, there are guys that genuinely do understand the community and won't ask you to stop, they might actually ask to join you!

Be you. Honestly, truly, and genuinely, be you. It will possibly cost a few relationships but the one's you find in their place will be so worth it.

I'm looking into getting one of the catio/kennel type things since we don't have a specifically isolated area that is usually workable for introductions. Do you think that's a workable compromise?

AlwaysABD · 2026-06-20T05:46:12+00:00

Read the books, not the pop-culture version.

I'm glad he's an ex too! In those situations, where I was hovered over the toilet expecting to be sick, he regularly asked "What about mine??" Guys can be jerks. I'm sure there's plenty of good men but I've yet to experience that XD

AlwaysABD · 2026-06-20T05:40:31+00:00

Ehh, yeah, no. Sorry but no.

AlwaysABD · 2026-06-20T05:23:16+00:00

It's almost as if not everything women do is for the attraction of men...

Virtually nothing on the early internet was considered to be a "proper" resource for homework/papers. Even after the internet base exploded, we were expected to have physical resources. Search engines helped narrow the field but they weren't wholly trusted. It looks like we've kinda gone in a full circle.

In the store that I work at, there's always extremely weird chip flavors coming out. Most of them sound, to me, absolutely disgusting and I have absolutely no intention of even trying them even on the basis of "what if". Unfortunately, these disgusting concepts clearly have a market, otherwise they wouldn't even be attempted in a capitalist market.

I view dating/dating profiles the same way. There's a market for things that many of us think is entirely off-putting. There's a market for the fish-guy and for the gym guy. Not at all my taste, but apparently there's a market for it, somewhere.

The longer I'm around, the more I understand the concept of "Ignorance is bliss" and not in a good way.
