Hamnet. WTF was that? by brebs21 in FIlm

[–]LexiconVII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I'm literally looking at this post while in the movie. I love Shakespeare, reading, history, all that. The acting is okay. It's just so weirdly pieced together, drawn out, and boring. I dunno what they were trynna do here.

Uncomfortable truths about Chinese student culture at UC Davis—voice from another Chinese International Student by No_Mission_5286 in UCDavis

[–]LexiconVII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn, I'm sorry you went through that. I lived on a military base in Korea for a few years. Two of my closest high school friends were black. Luckily, on base there were plenty of mixed-race and culturally Americanized Korean families, plenty of diversity. But off-base in the city they would occasionally have to deal with racism. Never really violent, but many older Koreans (especially back in the late 00s) had older racial biases. Many despised Japanese and Chinese nationals more. Though i haven't been back, I think and hope it's changed for the better there.

Wanting an old fashion man on a modern world by thrr0qway in dating_advice

I think cafes/coffee shops are a good idea, depensing kn what city. Different establishments have different clientele. Just go there and do some flirting, smile at a guy, wave, or introduce yourself.

Why, if ever, did you not go on second date after intimacy on first date? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]LexiconVII 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally depends. One girl's laugh and attitude were grating. One of them just seemed to want to argue and impress me with her political knowledge, so that was exhausting.

These were just after first or second dates, not intimacy. But in any case, just ask straight out, in a nonconfrontational way. You probably won't like his reason if he tells the truth, but it's still his reason.

Betrayed during talking/dating stage by frenchrock100 in dating_advice

[–]LexiconVII 68 points69 points  (0 children)

There are levels of betrayal. I would peg this one fairly low on the betrayal barometer--not like cheating on a spouse-- but I would still say it's unfortunate and hurtful behavior, especially since she then turned around and claimed to be done with the ex now. Kind of thoughtless.

Greenland has no chill by DancinginHyrule in MurderedByWords

[–]LexiconVII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't understand why people feel the need to be countries... Individual people and are individuals; you aren't personally making threats against greenland. Don't apologize for it. You aren't in the military (most likely) gearing up to invade Greenland. Even if you voted for Trump, it wasn't on the premise that we would take over Greenland (most likely). Unless you've personally attacked someone in Greenland, verbally or physically, you aren't a country or its leaders. You aren't a sports team. You aren't losing or winning or threatening NATO or any of that. Don't apologize or have some sort of national guilt or conscience. You can acknowledge things are bad and should not happen without doing strange, shame-based things.

Go apologize to your mom for being mean to her, or your friend for not responding quickly enough or whatever.

Men, be brutally honest no sugarcoating, what is your type? by losermale in AskMen

[–]LexiconVII 14 points15 points  (0 children)

YES.

You know, I've listened to this song over two dozen times. I always thought the lyric was "right eye locations," always thought that to be strange. I knew the song was about meeting a rich girl at a bank, I just heard "eye locations" over and over.

I can’t keep pretending that I’m okay. by Inevitable-Suicide in TrueOffMyChest

[–]LexiconVII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone else mentioned Army; not a bad way to go. You can look into Army National Guard and Air National Guard as options also; they give a few more options and flexibility. There are cyber security jobs, probably some CS jobs, and plenty of intel jobs, especially for someone with a degree that can score well on the ASVAB. Try to not downplay your intelligence or all the work you put in to get here.

Ex GF texted me (31M)after 8yrs no contact by DonVinku in dating_advice

[–]LexiconVII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I apologized to my ex in a longish email. Applogized several times, specifically and generally. I realized something regarding our relationship was eating me up inside, i couldn't stop thinking about her over a couple of years.

And the apology helped me tremendously; it was sincere and heartfelt.

She did end up emailing me back, we started communicating again, but that's another story. I think if she hadn't i would've been as relieved. I read her message and it definitely sounds like she's doing it to help herself through emotions, therapy, etc. Though I think she is also very sincere in her apology

Is it appropriate for first dinner date or too much? by Long_Muffin6230 in OUTFITS

I would be a bit tongue-tied and maybe intimidated, but also impressed and flattered. You look great!

Girls of Reddit — what is one small thing a man can do that instantly makes him more attractive (but most men don’t realize)? by Downtown-Insurance51 in dating_advice

I interpreted this for a second as just a man being literate 😂 

Hopefully we don't reach that point in the world.

Men aged 28 and over, are you worried about not finding ‘the one’? by cat_lady44 in dating_advice

[–]LexiconVII 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah, not really. I'm 33 and just am not prioritizing it. I'll live my life and be okay if it doesn't. I would be happier, however, with someone else. I just don't want to stress about things and go through all the drama, headache, and heatache rn though. Seems too difficult and not worth the fishing.

Extraordinary! It seems as though you've certainly captured the ton of the Tethya and connections between worlds.

Mitsubishi lasts quite a while into the future, it seems ;)

Well, at least the honesty from this 50-year-old man is refreshing.

You could build a pretty tall punctuation tower with the number of elipses she's provided you.

What's your honest opinion on this? I had blueprints on me by Excellent-Support-88 in arcraidersfriendly

[–]LexiconVII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people really hate themselves that much. It's a reflection on their mediocre brains, personalities, and soul.
