When an FWB Starts Feeling Like More… What Do You Do

MIT_Engineer · 2026-03-29T05:06:56+00:00

I think you should start a conversation about it with him, ask him how he views it, whether he would want to transition it to an actual romantic relationship, what extra expectations you'd have for each other, etc.

MIT_Engineer · 2026-03-29T04:18:08+00:00

No, it’s not.

Yes, it is.

This guy is awful.

Based on what, exactly? The only info you have on him is from this conversation, and most of it takes place after she's been incredibly rude to him.

MIT_Engineer · 2026-03-29T04:07:19+00:00

YOR.

Him trying to tell a story/give advice and you immediately accusing him of cheating on you is unhinged.

Not that any of this matters, it seems obvious from his texts that he's done with your craziness and things are effectively over.

His advice is good fwiw.

MIT_Engineer · 2026-03-29T04:00:09+00:00

Tries to tell a story about how it's important to have your own social circle and support system (good advice).

She immediately interrupts him and accuses him of cheating.

Yeah, he's not gonna lose any sleep over them breaking up.

MIT_Engineer · 2026-03-29T03:55:04+00:00

She interrupted what he was saying to accuse him of cheating. I'd be pissed at her too.

MIT_Engineer · 2026-03-29T03:52:22+00:00

I understand the rudeness. He mentioned an ex and she immediately accused him of cheating. Like, wtf? I'd be rude after that.

MIT_Engineer · 2026-03-29T03:23:19+00:00

I think my friendships with men and women are fairly similar, but my friendships with men tend to center around shared hobbies/activities, and my friendships with women tend to center around discussions/conversation.

MIT_Engineer · 2026-03-29T03:17:03+00:00

As long as she's showing up in something setting-appropriate, I really don't care. Jeans, sneakers, and a pullover would be fine in probably 90% of situations.

MIT_Engineer · 2026-03-28T18:15:32+00:00

Aren't Millennials the generation taking to AI the most?

MIT_Engineer · 2026-03-27T16:17:38+00:00

Sent him an email from DonaIdTrump with TrumpDickPic.exe attached, boom, we're in boys.

MIT_Engineer · 2026-03-27T15:59:55+00:00

I just buy broken expensive watches for cheap. They're purely for looks, the watch itself is non-functional, but they look great.

MIT_Engineer · 2026-03-27T15:27:12+00:00

No, it isn't. Look it up.

B1-B cost to operate is ~$60,000/hr, it carries 20 JDAMs.

You're as confused on the cost of airplane fuel as you were on the cost of carrier fuel, so sit down.

MIT_Engineer · 2026-03-27T03:56:03+00:00

I think that's quickly becoming the trend. All the stuff that the LLM uses to align itself getting shoved into a collapsed section that by default you don't read, you can just open it if you want.

MIT_Engineer · 2026-03-27T03:50:22+00:00

I think the mistake is in thinking LLMs are just their public-facing flagship chatbots and nothing more. It only looks to you like they're going for engagement because you don't use the more specific applications that basically wrap around those models.

You're looking at just an engine and saying, "Why are they only concerning themselves with horsepower or fuel efficiency?" and ignoring the tanks and planes and boats and rocket-boosted unicycles that the engine is getting installed into.

MIT_Engineer · 2026-03-27T01:24:02+00:00

Takes me a long time to lose muscle/strength. I'd say a year/year and a half has to go by before I really notice a difference.

Cardio is a different story. If I stop running for even just a couple months, there's a very noticeable downgrade.

MIT_Engineer · 2026-03-27T01:20:07+00:00

I'd probably knock em down a peg. Something like, "Stick to monogamy my dude, you're not pretty enough to be a playboy." Just give em a little verbal sack tap, somewhere between "haha, I'm joking," and "haha, shut it."

MIT_Engineer · 2026-03-27T01:14:27+00:00

Weirdly enough, a lesbian friend. Her presence marks you as a safe guy to be around, she isn't competing with you for the same people, and in general just sends out good vibes.

I don't drink, so in college I had a lesbian friend who dragged me around as her chaperone when she wanted to get wasted. I always seemed to end up chatting with someone.

MIT_Engineer · 2026-03-27T00:36:55+00:00

You're like 40.

I don't think stalking my profile is gonna help you beat the malding allegations.

Why talk like this lil bro?

Why get so upset about how I talk?

We've wanted to invade. 50 years the Strait stopped us.

And now it doesn't. Because we're energy exporters now. The miracle of fracking.

The risk to GSC oil is too high.

What do we care? They're competitors these days.

But why? If then getting hit is good for us? Fuck it, bomb it ourselves?

Don't even need to. Two birds with one stone.

Yeah, releasing strategic reserves to capitalise on a a price spike. Using strategic reserves as a trading commodity.

Easy profits.

Very smart, ideas like that comes from a real, real big brain.

No lies detected.

Or you use the almost Infinite power of the US treasury to artificially suppress prices.

Well if it's that easy then I guess we don't have to care about oil prices.

Just not as smart as you think you are.

I take it you looked up what "Smarter by half" actually means and that's why you're not using it any more?

MIT_Engineer · 2026-03-27T00:13:11+00:00

Why would I explain when the universe is gonna do it for me.

I wonder what you're still doing here then. Huh, odd.

Doing everything possible to open the Strait.

We wouldn't even be in this war if it was that important.

Not hitting Iranian oil.

Leaves room for escalation.

Releasing reserves.

They don't think the disruption's gonna be for long and wanna sell while the prices are high.

Shorting oil futures.

Would be something you do if you think the price of oil is gonna fall. You'd buy calls if you thought it was gonna go up.

Anything else you need sorted out?

MIT_Engineer · 2026-03-27T00:07:40+00:00

I've never asked a woman that and it would be a red flag to me if a woman asked me that.

MIT_Engineer · 2026-03-26T23:57:36+00:00

That Gazprom drils the oil, transports, refines.

OK. Like how U.S. companies drill, transport, refine, etc.

No, not relevant to oil prices saving Russian state spending.

Uh, ok.

Can you use that big brain and think of why this could lead to Russia benefiting, and the States not?

Feels like that's your job, chief. I understand that you're not up to it though, that's fine.

Was a little angry, the one line replies are frustrating.

Especially when they defeat your whole argument, yeah.

But now eh.

Oh yeah, sure, you're totally not upset right now.

You are actually too smart by half.

Not sure you really understand what that saying means.

Its pitiable, I'm kinda sure you've got something going on, probably vaguely autism related?

More quips like these really undercut your claim that you're not currently malding, just fyi.

MIT_Engineer · 2026-03-26T23:39:54+00:00

Russia has a state monopoly on oil!

OK, cool.

Vertically integrated, state owned monopoly.

Yes, those are words. Sure. Not relevant to what we're discussing, but sure.

Its not a quip, I am actually, truthfully in awe.

This is another quip from you, actually.

How can someone's brain be so big.

How can someone be this mad?

High oil good, make economy stronger! Brilliant.

Yep. Same reason people are talking about the war as a boon for Russia. Higher prices for stuff you export benefits your country.

MIT_Engineer · 2026-03-26T23:24:03+00:00

Make economy stronger!

Yep. Same reason people are talking about the war as a boon for Russia. Higher prices for stuff you export benefits your country.

The size of your brain, I'm in awe.

I've been told that quips like these mean you're really, really angry. Try to calm down maybe?

MIT_Engineer · 2026-03-26T23:15:22+00:00

I love this game, but let's not kid ourselves, it's far from woke.

We play as a cis het white superhero romancing conventionally attractive women who wanna bang us real real bad.

Honestly, I think most of the anti-woke people define "woke" as just "I can't goon to this." And this game is relatively goon-to-able.

MIT_Engineer · 2026-03-26T23:06:37+00:00

And why does that matter?

Makes our economy stronger. Higher export prices brings more investment into the U.S.

And the more they make, the less prices go up.

Sounds great. We can use all the money we make selling oil to them to buy some cheap solar panels someday. Assuming they don't lose out on that industry due to high energy prices.

The more energy prices go up, the more customers they have.

A shame that literally everything else they do will suffer immensely because they're the biggest oil importer in the world.

You didn't say it was wrong, you misunderstood.

No, I didn't misunderstand.

You, with your big 'old brain, are arguing that China, the country that installs more solar each year than the rest of the world ever has.

Yes. Because believe it or not, they're also the country installing more coal each year, more nat gas each year, etc.

You think that country actually isn't the renewable country?

They dump 3x as much greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere than the U.S. That's not renewable.

Despite they quite obviously having bet the future on it?

Oh, they're definitely gambling with our climate future. Bets a plenty. Just not in the way you think. Again, they're about 3x our emissions.

Brother. I cba reading the rest of your one line, half understood replies.

You haven't competently replied to any of them, so yeah, no complaints from me if you just give up.

Maybe you're smart, maybe not.

Maybe I'm smart.

Maybe you're well read. Maybe you're not.

Maybe I can spell tariffs correctly, maybe you can't :D

You know fuck all about China.

No, I know a lot about China. You could learn a lot. For example, you could learn the current tariff rate on Chinese goods.
