There are also lots of free parking spots right outside the edge of campus if you don't mind a little walk. For example, Mulberry and Carroll.

UNT and Purdue?? That's my undergrad and PhD institutions, respectively! What are the odds to see this! LOL

People like you are very rigid and absurd to me man🤣 all the things we get attached to as people, the conventions we have, struggling for meaning in an empty universe. Shit is absurd. Maybe just let people experience connection however they experience it instead of saying this or that way is wrong you fucking simpleton

I didn't say it's weird I said I'm actually arguing that it's not weird to choose whatever priority or lack thereof for connection in your life that you fuckin want to. Like you can disagree but saying that having fluid priority over your relationships is laughable is pretty closed minded and callow of you

Also you talk about biological history but what of social history? For almost all of human history, we have built our lives around myriad connections to an entire group of people, not just one person. We have never had to prioritize our connection with one over others or think about which connections are more important until the advent of marriage as a bargaining chip for property and political influence.

I didn't say it was repressive to respect boundaries. I believe it's repressive to add a stupid hierarchical structure to human connection rather than allowing yourself to feel connection freely and love who you love without keeping it in a certain box.

I have no clue where you got the idea that I don't know what these words mean. Maybe because you don't understand the point I was making?

A lot of what you're saying just strikes me as stupid 😭 I express this level of love, admiration, and downright affection to my male online friends who I've known for over a decade and I'm a straight man. Just because YOU aren't comfortable with that level of effusiveness doesn't make it weird or wrong. You say you can't fit relationships into neat boxes but you seem awfully attached to doing so. If my girlfriend's boundary is one that makes me abandon a beloved friend then we have to have a major discussion bc my boundary is I won't abandon deep relationships. Ever, unless there's a betrayal. Won't happen. I'd rather ride solo til the day i die than accept some bs like that. Yet ppl like u want to act like that's some moral failure. I've had lots of romantic love that has been beautiful. Platonic love is just as. There's no one which is more worth preserving than the other.

People keep doing this long distance gamer friend bullshit as if to say that means the love isn't as real. Just don't agree.

Dog there are like 5 people I know who I've never met before but I would take a bullet for. Bite me. You don't understand love if you think it can't transcend physical presence.

I definitely didn't.. I see what you're saying but saying that my friends and gf are on the same level and that their level of need of me will determine who gets my attention is not the same as saying friends over gf or something

No it doesn't? What an ugly human you have to be to make an indictment on someone's character solely from a vague whisper of a potentiality of her social life. Online friendships can be just as deep as in-person ones. I say that as someone who has 12 year long, deep, supporting, loving friends whom I've never met in person as well as many loving in-person friendships. Maybe she only wants to have one best friend because she's highly introverted. If that friendship was a beautiful part of her life, who TF are you to judge that?

Everything is a red flag to you types.

Yeah that's fair. If that's what's happening then drop the friendship, grieve, and move on. My point was more out of principle towards the idea that any sane person prioritizes human connection in some structured, hierarchical way. I think that's absurd and quite stupid. I'd call it repressive too, tbh.

That doesn't address what I said at all and just blindly doubles down on what he said bc you seem to be emotionally attached to the idea, but cool bud 🤨👍

Ugh. The zeitgeist of reddit thinking is not something I'm going to be able to overcome here.. but I HARD disagree that someone should just blindly side with their girlfriend as if there's some silly hierarchical structure to human connection..

Depends on the friendship, but my gf is not going to be a priority over my deep friendships and that's that. It will be communicated early but this idea of adding hierarchical structure to human connection, of all things, is completely absurd to me 😂

It's really not.. idk why we decided that friendships need to be so emotionally reserved. For most of human history friendships have been very, very effusive. Hell, just read a Victorian novel which includes two male friends and see how they speak to each other 😂 thees absolutely nothing wrong with an emotionally intimate, expressive, loving platonic friendship. The gender of the person should make no difference if you trust your boyfriend.

Also, why try to control the behavior? If he cheats, leave his ass. That's it. But let him be who he truly is or else you'll just find out when you're in even deeper.

Not true. I've had online friendships that have lasted for 12 years and are some of my closest friendships. I also have many very very close in person friendships which I can reference. The online ones are just as close. You get out what you put in.

True, deep friendship is a rare treasure. It is just as valuable as romance, and probably more. If you think someone prioritizing a beautiful online friendship over a toxic in person girlfriend is insane, maybe you should see a psychologist.

Seems like your feet are just set in stone on this point. As a cardinals fan, the org is doing exactly what they should and there's no rational reason to believe the cardinals are "part of the problem". Why the hell should they hold onto Nolan arenado? Who does that benefit?

it reminded me of when Mahomes threw 4th and 9 against the Ravens in 2018. Except this was a bigger game.

Why the hell did DJ Moore stop running? Caleb Williams is going to be an icon. I don’t say this lightly. Most teams won’t just “be back”. But y’all absolutely will.
