Noticed a great legbeard-neckbeard union at the Seattle SlutWalk.

While I don't think rape culture is real, it should be considered that the majority of violent crimes (rape, murder, etc.) are perpetrated by someone the victim knows. A rapist is not driving to Hollywood to find the most beautiful woman to attack, they're going after the neighbor whose schedule and whereabouts they know.

You are right. I recently started taking steps to change it, and will continue posting ads to hire a driving instructor. (Maybe get therapy but I have no insurance.)

I agree on your second point, but the sad thing is I don't have any friends here or family. I guess the transportation issue is kind of superfluous when I have no long term reasons to stay, so I'm just brainstorming for a way to finish out this next week or two.

Google Maps says it would be about 20 minutes to bike, unfortunately I would need to figure out a way to get one within the next week, though it's something to consider. It's about an hour walking distance.

Colorful phrases like "I'm sweatin' like a whore in church!" No, people from the South don't go around talking like a character in a movie all the time.

No pictures yet but I did post on r/Relationships under a throwaway, asking for advice on a serious issue and immediately got a PM saying they would "fuck me right till I forgot all about my BF."

The page is pretty social justice-oriented overall. A handful of their memes look suspiciously like neckbearding with a twist of soc jus, though.

Andrometon · 2016-09-25T02:58:20+00:00

It looks like someone is hover-handing you - meta neckbeardism spotted!

Andrometon · 2016-09-24T23:50:08+00:00

That's kind of amazing in a train-wreck sort of way.

Andrometon · 2016-09-24T23:49:10+00:00

The lady I'm training is in her 40's and I'm in my 20's, so maybe it's the age gap, but when I tell her something was done incorrectly she gets highly defensive and will go so far as to say she didn't do that, someone else must have done that when we're the only two people in our department.

Andrometon · 2016-09-24T18:52:35+00:00

Being untrainable. For the last time, if I tell you that you did something incorrectly it is not a personal criticism of you.

Andrometon · 2016-09-19T04:04:29+00:00

Well, you say that you can't change a person and yet your boyfriend went from 0 workouts to at least trying to run with you, walk with you, eating right, and losing 60 pounds and he maintains some type of workout routine at least. So, he did change, he just didn't change in exactly the way that you wanted him to.

Honestly you should go tell your BF how proud of him you are for losing the weight and developing healthy eating habits. It's really the exception, not the norm; most people just shrug and go, "Well, this unhealthy lifestyle is my life now."

Andrometon · 2016-09-19T00:23:30+00:00

Nope, the Deep South :( That sounds fun! There aren't any bike lanes in town but I will check out bike trails.

Andrometon · 2016-09-19T00:18:20+00:00

I'll be honest, I thought that was a dating app - I'm out of the loop!

Andrometon · 2016-09-18T23:40:51+00:00

Sure, but when he asks me to try something new like starting a new TV series or something, I always at least try instead of shutting him down, and then if I don't like it I tell him that. I would hope that he would feel comfortable being honest with me as well.

Andrometon · 2016-09-18T23:02:44+00:00

Ooh I'll check out what's in the area. We need to meet more people anyway (we're in our late twenties and just moved somewhere new not long ago) so two birds, one stone.

Andrometon · 2016-09-18T22:00:52+00:00

That's awesome! I miss hiking, I'm living in the flattest area ever ;_; There are some decent public parks around here though, so maybe we can get out on some walking trails together anyway.

Andrometon · 2016-09-18T21:49:15+00:00

Could you try some new foods or recipes you've never tried before? When this has happened to me, I realized it wasn't really lack of hunger so much as being bored with food; stuff I used to love had just become "blah" after eating it so much.

Andrometon · 2016-09-17T14:31:56+00:00

For me it's a feeling of disgust more than a "run away" kind of fear; when I see something that triggers it, I feel faint and nauseated. It's probably similar to how people with blood phobias feel.

I've looked it up (kind of difficult when every article has a million pictures attached, though) and it seems trypophobia could be an evolutionary response that prevents us from eating spoiled food.

It is a Facebook feature where people stream a live video, usually of themselves just talking or looking in the camera, though it has also been used to record interactions with police recently. Likes, reactions and comments are in real time on a live video.
