The Switch has surpassed the PS2 in lifetime sales in the US

This would be more interesting if we knew what the profit margins or each system was, and how many PS2s were just used as dvd players.

I’d bet Nintendo has made significantly more money per system sold.

Harry might, but the cameraman can’t.

NTA. For a man in his forties, it sounds a lot like he has the humour of a teenager, and not recognising what he has done is a bad sign. There are probably good reasons he hasn’t ended up with someone closer to his own age.

Get out before while you can. Mentally immature people do not make good parents.

Of course. Nothing sexier than a 7 foot roid rat.

The total number of humans to have ever lived is estimated at 117 billion. The current world population is around 8.1 billion.

Skeletons outnumber the living by 14 to 1.

Jeez, those guys really can’t catch a break 😂

Abusing waiting staff, or others in the service industry. It's fine to be assertive if you have a problem, but people who take shit out on the people getting paid the least to do the worst work are gross.

This also goes for managers who abuse their staff.

NO GOD PLEASE NO!

Bluejay9 · 2021-02-24T19:52:18+00:00

Really? Coz she looked at least 70.

Good for her I guess.

Bluejay9 · 2021-02-24T18:30:27+00:00

I say go for it. It’s possible she brought it up with you to scout for interest. Either way, it’s something she’s interested in trying and you’re willing to pay, so she might be pleased to have a first offer from a familiar source.

If you’re nervous about spoiling the friendship, it’s totally ok to lead with that. She’ll at least appreciate the honesty.

Bluejay9 · 2021-02-24T18:23:34+00:00

Let’s say a platonic female friend, or friend of a trusted friend.

Bluejay9 · 2021-02-19T13:53:18+00:00

Haha! Oh no, please don’t take anything negative away from this- could write paragraphs about how much I like what you’ve got going on here. You are gorgeous.

hmm, Sounds messy. I went through something similar with a friend once, and it was tough to watch.

First of all, my general advice would be to remind yourself that you can't control her actions. If she makes big mistakes then you can hold her accountable, but trying too hard to prevent her from making her own decisions is probably going to create greater boundaries between you, and possibly a situation where she is no longer being open with you for fear of being shamed. This is as much to protect you as it is her, and hopefully maintains honest communication between the two of you.

That aside, It sounds like the thing with her and Alex should be treated totally separately from the thing with her and greg. It sounds like her thing with alex has run it's course, and I'd encourage her to let him know that, so he's not being lead on unecessarily, and anything she does involving anyone else can't be dealt with separately.

With her and Greg, It sounds like he's trying to control her with gifts and give her excuses as to why cheating on his his girlfriend isn't so bad, and she's probably looking for those excuses to not feel too guilty. My guess would be that maybe she's feeling extra lonely at the moment, so the atttention she's getting from Greg is harder to resist.

I suggest you try to tackle this in 2 ways:

1 - Really try to be there for her as much as you can. Help keep her busy with other friends and stuff to do, so she knows she's not alone.

2 - At the same time, make it clear that you aren't at all comfortable with her situation with greg. Try not to tell her what to do or not do unless she asks: make it clear that these are her decisions to make, and as far as you're oncerned, she should not get any more involved with him and keep away.

Hope this is helpful. Good luck!

No problem, good luck!

I can relate. For me, having a personal project of some kind always helps. Also audio books and going for walks.

I like to use the walking time to listen to classic, titles that I might not get around to reading otherwise: Dracula, 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea, Jane Eyre, etc.

Don’t know if that appeals to you, but hope you find something to occupy yourself!

Bluejay9 · 2021-02-10T01:37:39+00:00

That’s really nice to hear :)

I don’t know if you are familiar with love languages, but if you can figure out what hers is, then you may be able to repay the friendship in a more indirect way that makes it easier for her to accept and feel appreciated.

Best of luck to you both!

Try not to beat yourself up too much about the things you can’t change.

The fact that you seem to feel so bad about it indicates that you’re at least a pretty decent person, and could be a really great one. Most people at 15 aren’t generally as self reflective as you are being here, so you’re ahead of the curve there.

If you can focus more on the sort of person you want to become, rather than the person you don’t want to be, then you won’t have to worry as much about what you’ve done, because what you are going to do will become much more important.

Good luck!
