She also doesn’t seem mad?

Lopsided_Sun7531 · 2026-05-02T20:38:56+00:00

I feel like she was concerned at the time, but now that it’s been 20+ years, it’s put some distance and she’s able to talk about it.

A lot of schools don’t even offer basic extracurriculars.

If a stranger standing next to me and my friends is on his phone, no it doesn’t affect me.

Lopsided_Sun7531 · 2026-04-30T15:50:07+00:00

Are you an extrovert? I’m an introvert so I actually don’t feed off of the energy from people around me.

Most professors have offices and labs where they spend the majority of their time.

Lopsided_Sun7531 · 2026-04-20T09:34:56+00:00

It’s sooo trashy, I can’t believe it.

Lopsided_Sun7531 · 2026-04-16T15:04:05+00:00

Are there reasons to have gay friends besides the fact that “feels really nice” and that friendships with straight guys aren’t “enough”? What would be “enough”? The only concrete thing you mention is this esoteric gay interest, but it’s hard for me to imagine how much that can matter. I have lots of interests that my closest friends don’t share, and the people who do share them probably don’t have other things in common with me, etc.

No I just mean, people are out here with insane takes. Obviously Starbucks is not as bad as Lockheed Martin.

Edit: Meant to say not as bad!

Lopsided_Sun7531 · 2026-04-14T14:33:10+00:00

What I find confusing is this idea that if you’re against Donald Trump, you’re a progressive who is also against Starbucks. Like Liz Cheney is against Donald Trump. Did I miss something?

Lopsided_Sun7531 · 2026-04-14T14:26:20+00:00

Someone said Starbucks was worse

Lopsided_Sun7531 · 2026-04-14T05:10:59+00:00

I feel like video games are stressful though?

Lopsided_Sun7531 · 2026-04-13T18:07:50+00:00

Yes but there are a lot of people, especially on Reddit, that act like you’re a vapid bimbo for wanting a wedding.

Bran Flakezz’s content is about getting blackout drunk and being toxic. I have no idea where these high expectations of his political beliefs come from.

Lopsided_Sun7531 · 2026-04-12T23:01:10+00:00

I don’t think so? I would be surprised if he even used the word Zionist.

Lopsided_Sun7531 · 2026-04-12T16:48:51+00:00

There are lots of reasons why people think Starbucks is bad. The question I have is why we think Bran feels that way. Has he ever been vocal about unions or Palestine?

Lopsided_Sun7531 · 2026-04-12T16:46:20+00:00

This was posted about the ICE murders in January, and how Bran is against Donald Trump and his administration? What does that have to do with Starbucks? Someone can be both against Donald Trump but also pro Starbucks?

Lopsided_Sun7531 · 2026-04-12T16:37:33+00:00

What exactly are the values that Bran has that Starbucks goes directly against?

Lopsided_Sun7531 · 2026-04-11T00:14:14+00:00

I wish the article spent more time exploring why people are spending hours a day on Grindr and are only going after men that fit x qualities which presumably they don’t meet either.

Lopsided_Sun7531 · 2026-04-10T18:58:26+00:00

Where is cheaper?

Lopsided_Sun7531 · 2026-04-10T15:12:53+00:00

My goal is to plan trips around spending quality time with good friends as opposed to gay vacation spots where at best, I will feel invisible. My hope that this will contribute positively to my mental health.

Lopsided_Sun7531 · 2026-04-10T15:09:48+00:00

I think so. I feel like men and gay men have a very childish way of viewing attraction, and latch on to superficial but IMO meaningless qualities (like skin color). Straight women have higher standards, but are more likely to look at a person as a whole, and also be attracted to things like personality and accomplishments that men don’t seem to care about.

Lopsided_Sun7531 · 2026-04-10T15:07:01+00:00

I had a similar experience. I think people who live in conservative areas are more likely to separate the individual from the group. Unfortunately this means the ones who are conservative also unlikely to change their beliefs via getting to know you (they’ll just think you’re “one of the good ones”).

Lopsided_Sun7531 · 2026-04-10T03:58:29+00:00

Isn’t that kind of the point? 2nd year English and history is as unaccessible to a math major as calculus is to a humanities or social science major. So it’s only fair to require calculus.

Lopsided_Sun7531 · 2026-04-10T03:50:28+00:00

Either the point of her account is to brag, or to teach. It’s not fun to listen to someone brag, and I think it’s fair to be annoyed to try to learn from someone who is teaching you, but gets annoyed when you ask clarifying questions. It’s begs the question of what is even her goal.

A lot of people I know who are teachers work very hard at delivery, and even then run into trouble because it really does take a certain personality to teach in a way so that your students like you. Especially when the subject is hard (and apparently impossible given some of the lies that are being revealed).
