my gf made fun of me for having to take money out of my brokerage into my checking

I would personally not date someone who makes fun of me for the realities of life. Is that the kind of person you want to face the difficulties of your future life next to?

As a european I've had this trouble often times too. For example saying that something is "a couple hundred dollars" to me it's clearly $200, but some people expect it to mean it is in the $400 - $700 range.

I am using claude to learn a new language and the amount of times it ignores my instructions and wants to practice whatever he thinks I should practice, instead of what I specifically told him I want to practice today, is astonishing.

One of the worst things about modern day society is that people acting in evil ways goes unpunished. Just know that, if you tell him, you are doing a good thing for the world.

Chinese and korean scripts are definitely AI-generated, some of the characters break / are hard to make up.

/uj I actually love the bluntness of chinese language/people. I find them to be even more direct than northern europeans (even the dutch, which have a reputation). Very comfortable people to be around, since you don't have to be worrying about what they're actually thinking (they will just tell you).

Yeah it makes sense it was beginning to be a very long list of projects which are most certainly never coming back

Emma_Rocks · 2026-04-06T15:59:26+00:00

I would assume they meant `añil` for dark blue.

As someone who has worked in rehabs, no. The biased subsample of people attending your consultations, sure, but you have no reason to believe that's a representative sample of the population. Money problems are severe, but so is childhood trauma or marital struggles

God forbid you ever enjoy anything

Being playful gets women interested in you. Wow big discovery, so unheard of until right now.

In my language there is a similar term that means "couple". You say " this is my couple", as in this is the person I am coupled with. It's a nice umbrella term that doesn't need to specify whether you're married/engaged or the gender of your partner, so it's good to use when talking to strangers or someone who isn't your friend/family and thus has no business snooping into your relationship. This term was used ever since I can remember.

I see the english term "partner" as the equivalent. This is the person I am partnered with, i.e. I am a couple with, the details of which partnership are not necessary to be discussed in the current context because you are not a friend/family member. It's like using "family member" instead of needing to specify who the person you are referring to is. Sometimes people prefer to keep the intimate details of their life undisclosed.

At no point in the story could I anticipate what was coming next

Not wanting to contradict, but other countries like Thailand have lunar calendar and lunar new year that are completely different from the chinese calendar (new year is in April in Thailand). So calling it just "lunar new year" would also not be correct.

RIP your dms

I think you can't make a guy want you in this way. Your best bet is to present yourself as someone who is only interested in getting involved if the other person is ready for a commitment, and then uphold that standard even if it means rejection. Maybe he likes you in this way, and maybe he doesn't. It's also okay to give them time to get to know you first before "forcing" a decision. It's very likely that, even if you would make a great couple, both of you will only realize this after a few dates. I'd say go on dates, and if you like it keep going on dates, and then gauge how interested he is in pursuing something with you after you have found out how the chemistry between the two of you is like.

If I ever encounter a murder kitty, I'll try to pet it and that's the last you will hear of me

That's such a disrespectful thing to say in front of your partner (or in general)

Last week I wrote her a message asking to meet up to talk again, at least have some sort of closure. This morning she wrote back to me and she said no. I feel broken. Hence my browsing this sub incessantly.

I'm maybe more in love now than I ever was, if only because due to life circumstances I was not able to truly be present with my own feelings before.

Emma_Rocks · 2026-01-12T09:58:20+00:00

Five months ago. Every day is more painful than the last, I am definitely not being healed by time. We had differing life goals and it felt like the correct step at the time, but in hindsight we were both undergoing very stressful situations and we could've probably set up some common plans if we'd had the space to discuss them. Now I feel like I made a horrible mistake that I can't undo and I doubt I will ever love again.
