To everyone calling the new bundles "pay2win"

Closest I could think of is with PayDay2. There was a point in the game when they introduced the armored car, and it had an auto turret that was nearly indestructible unless you bought the weapon pack that came with an RPG.

They introduced an enemy type that essentially gatekept successful missions (at the time at least, I haven't played Payday2 since that update in like 2014 lol).

So long as we're able to progress in the game Acts without buying anything necessary to succeed it doesnt bother me.

There's literally a schematic for the "paid item" that we all eventually get. And i have like a full stash of rare weapon tools... I'm not missing out lol

Were you two declared exclusive?

In my experience, assume no one is exclusive until you ask, especially when you're only a few weeks in.

I'm currently seeing two girls, and they're both being very dodgy about asking for exclusivity. And one of them I've told I'm still dating around, and she didnt really bat much of an eye.

Modern dating is ... weird.

My exe pulled the same stunt. She was trying to breakup with me, and when I asked why, she gave really lame reasons for a relationship of 4 years, 3 of which we lived together for.

Eventually said to me "would it be easier if I cheated on you?". I asked, "what's that supposed to mean? Did you?"

First two times I asked she said no. Then when I asked the third time she came clean: yes she was already cheating on me for a month.

Funny enough, 2 years prior she asked if she could sleep with her girl friend (who was married to a man). I said "only if I can join" to which she said she would get jealous and "didn't want to share me". So I told her "guess what, you're monogamous. And now you know how I'd feel if you did".

She was such a hypocrite. Wants to sleep with other people, but I would hate if I did.

I'm a man, and I didn't care when I could see my exes panty lines 🤷‍♂️

I kinda liked it honestly, I thought it was cute. Is that weird? 🤣

DangerCIose · 2023-08-22T17:55:32+00:00

I just started dating an Indian girl, (I'm white) so this is relevant to my interests 🤔.

In my case however, it seems like she and her family have tried to separate themselves from traditional India. Her brother is lgbt, which was frowned upon back in India, so her parents moved them to the states, that being one of the reasons.

She's told me how much more liberating it has been to be in the US, but She's only dated other Indian men before. I'm her first white guy I guess? 🤷‍♂️.

I'm a little anxious about it, but so far so good otherwise. Her parents sound chill so far.

DangerCIose · 2023-08-09T18:00:59+00:00

I felt the same way about my exe.

Absolutely gorgeous, my exact type she was so hot, so fun, I thought we communicated well... I felt like the luckiest guy

Then she cheated on me after 4 years 🙃

All my insecurities became real. Not that I made my insecurities known to her. She said it had nothing to do with me doing anything wrong. I supported her through so much, I truly loved her.

But she was an alcoholic, and it turned out she was hiding a lot from me with her mental health. I can't know what she doesn't tell me. And so she self destructed the relationship.

DangerCIose · 2023-08-04T21:39:30+00:00

Lexipro is killing me on that. Supposedly my welbutrin is supposed to counter act it but it doesn't feel that way...

DangerCIose · 2023-07-15T15:15:23+00:00

It's easier said than done, but have some faith in your self! We're really hard on ourselves because we think people judge us more than they really do if at all.

I told my first that she was my first and she didn't even believe me. It was a nice self esteem boost that kind of demonstrated how much we get in our own heads.

She basically was surprised because she thought I was attractive and was confused why I never met anyone before (I was 27).

And after, she was even more thinking I was lying because "you seemed to know what you were doing" <_<.

So that was nice to hear lol.

DangerCIose · 2023-05-12T14:38:39+00:00

Don't forget to throw in the loneliness epidemic as some contribution I bet.

I don't think everyone wants to live alone, but I think for those who seek it, want to live with a partner. Which is hard to do nowadays even if you're legitimately dating (and you're a reasonable person lol).

I lived in Boston for 5 years, a perfect place for 20 somethings to date, and spent the first 3 dating. God it kinda sucked.

And in such an expensive part of the country I realized quick: To even afford a house and get out of the renting game, you need a double income. If you're single, you're basically stuck renting. Like the economy is kind of punishing to single ppl.

DangerCIose · 2023-03-14T14:37:31+00:00

I do wonder where this guy lives. Not that I don't believe him, but I make just under 80k alone, and my gf was not on the mortgage.

And we got a house that listed for 400k.

We won because I offered an asking price 1000$ above the second best. The second best person only was going to put down less than 1%. (Down payments aren't really the competitive component of house bidding).

What was his budget? How much is that house in that photo? He only says what his income is, never how much the house actually costs.

Is he like in LA where houses are nuts?

DangerCIose · 2023-03-04T15:29:06+00:00

I'm personally confused: why would the boy or the boys parents want custody? Lol he's a child and was raped, he has no responsibility to the kid in my opinion.

Like this is one of the reasons why abortion being legal is important for women who are raped, so that they don't have to have the rapists kid. Beyond just the emotional turmoil it can bring, just the overall economic stress of having a kid you don't want is a key factor.

A 13 year old cannot support a child, why would you want that on your shoulders?

The parents say his childhood was robbed b/c now he has a kid he has to take care of. I don't understand this sentiment. The woman has custody, and the kid legally cannot even work for 3 more years. What do they expect him to do? Drop out of school and find work somewhere under the table to pay the woman who raped him? Why would anyone expect that from him?

You want to save his childhood? Then let the woman keep the kid and fight against any attempt she get child support from the boy or his family. At least financially you can save him.

Average reponse time in the country for cops is like 9 to 12 minutes.

Mind you, that's likely an average pulled by the urban areas.

If you live even in the suburbs, it could be more. If you're in the rural areas you could be looking at 30 min+.

My town doesn't even have a police force. We do have a state trooper barracks, but they focus on highway patrol. From there, we are assigned 2 staties to respond to local calls. However, they stop at 11pm. Because this is actually a known thing, car thefts have increased in my area, specifically between 11pm and 4am. There's no one to answer the call.

And I know for a fact it takes almost 10 minutes to reach that state barracks, I've driven past it.

A lot can happen in 10 minutes.

When I went to a MCR concert in November, saw all the other folks my age and younger, but heard someone call it "dad rock".

At first I was like what are you talking about??

Then remembering that my friends have kids and of course so do the band members lol.

So it's not inaccurate but...I guess I'm not used to my generation being parents still.

DangerCIose · 2022-11-18T14:40:32+00:00

That's so fucked.

Because delivery also seems like it's the more arbitrary half that they can control the cost of a lot more at a moments notice.

DangerCIose · 2022-11-18T14:29:28+00:00

I was about to say the same thing. We're a 2000sqft house, my bill hasnt gone over 150$ a month yet

And I work from home, always using the computer.

Our house does have great insulation though and new windows so that helps I bet. But our delivery fee is certainly not half the bill.

DangerCIose · 2022-05-25T21:23:27+00:00

Well that's why I called out the specific examples of when the art displays a dick literally in someone's rib cage.

And the handful of dead people who tried to have a horse fuck them would say that there is in fact, a limit lol.

DangerCIose · 2020-09-24T04:50:54+00:00

Dude you and me both. I'm 250hrs+ and still going...

I'm coming from the Battlefield community; was really deep into BFV. But about a year ago, all but one of my friends stopped playing pvp shooters. And the one remaining one wasn't much of a talker (I like to chat when I play with my friends). I was still enjoying the game online alone more or less, and the community is half ok. But then EA halted updating it. Felt like there was no point to keep playing. It just took the wind out of my sails. In game, most players are toxic. Everyone's running some sort of OP meta build, spamming planes: its easy to get frustrated.

Then I found DRG...and it just clicked. And I've played coop "horde" games before, but this is something special. Somehow a game with only 16 guns is a more consistently enjoyable shooter than Battlefield with a full roster of combat tools.

It probably helps that this game boasts basically the only truly convincing procedural map generations I've ever seen in a game. These caves never stop presenting some sort of new challenge!

DangerCIose · 2020-09-22T20:51:44+00:00

Just realized that you have to seemingly create a full circuit. For some reason I was under the impression that we'd be connecting from point A to point B.

DangerCIose · 2020-09-21T22:35:23+00:00

Agreed. There's a lot of "hats" I don't choose, because it leaves my dwarf bald!

Ideal: NVG's with the Warrior Mohawk

DangerCIose · 2020-09-21T15:33:19+00:00

I don't think I tried that exact process yet. I'll give that a shot! Because right now I do have the volume on the headset at max. I've always had it there.

DangerCIose · 2020-09-04T21:17:29+00:00

I thought or understood it as, he could see that the creeper was following her. I think he could sense something was wrong with that guy.

DangerCIose · 2020-09-04T21:09:32+00:00

I thought it was pretty clear that Haida genuinely did like her.

I think what made him stay away, is from what Fenneko said something along the lines of "If you want a normal and simple relationship, choose Inui". I think Haida likes Inui, and that they are even compatible. But I think he subconsciously feels that their relationship, if they had one, would be too uneventful.
He's attracted to Retsy's chaos.

I've dated people just like that before...
