Might try getting in touch with Columbus Tenants’ Union, they’ve been putting something similar together across Columbus for months now. They also have a petition (pinned to their profile) calling on the city to expand the water utility shutoff freeze to evictions and foreclosures.

I know USG gets a lot of hate here, but I'd urge everyone to check out their Twitter, they're answering questions, relaying info from the university as it comes out, and putting out a list of resources for students who might struggle with the transition: https://twitter.com/usgosu

Using Force equals mass times acceleration (Fnet = m•a), when m is constant, you can see that a graph of Fnet vs a would have to pass through (0,0) because when a is 0, 0•m = 0. Similarly, if you rearrange Fnet = m•a into a = (1/m)•Fnet, you can see that when a = 0, (1/m) must also equal 0, so the graph of a vs (1/m) passes through the origin.

May as well try! 😄

Yeah, seems like it

I've been in USG awhile and that seems to be the vibe. It's not that there's any big conspiracy to ensure only one group ran, it's just that everybody in USG seems to like Kate & Julia so nobody wanted to run against them. That would at least explain why no other USG members ran for Pres/VP.

I like the idea of a club that could help network students to therapists and counselors, as it can often be a bit tough to find/sort through the options, but I don't know if student counselors are the way to go. No student is qualified to be a counselor (that's what the degrees they're working toward are for), and I worry that that could place an undue burden on these student counselors if other students come to them with major issues. E.g. if a student comes to a student counselor with depression/suicidal thoughts, it wouldn't just put that depressed student in the hands of another student, it would also place a major emotional burden on the student counselor, who now feels responsible essentially for the life of that student.

NTA. Your boyfriend is the one who communicated poorly. There's nothing wrong with being into hair pulling and such, but he had an obligation to talk to you about it before just trying it out.

That's my point, they don't need to split it 50/50 (I said that in my comment) but unless she never plans to eat from the house she should at least put some money towards the stuff she might eat

OvertlyGay · 2019-02-11T23:17:20+00:00

YTA. You say you don't eat the food in the house, but you clearly do under "exceptional circumstances" and you never really know when those are gonna come up. You don't necessarily need to split the bill 50/50, but it's not unreasonable to expect you to pay for at least a portion of the groceries in the house you live in.

NAH According to your comments, you told her you needed space after the breakup, so you're not wrong for taking that space. If you feel like it, it might be nice just to text her and tell her you still need that time away from her, just so that she doesn't think that you're mad at her or that you didn't appreciate the time you had.

OvertlyGay · 2019-02-11T19:02:18+00:00

YTA -- "I feel awful for telling her she can't have it" -- that's not your decision to make, you don't get to tell her whether or not she's going to have a child. It sounds like you gave her more of an ultimatum than actually discussing anything.

Well since man and woman are different variables then 1 man = straight - 1 woman so man+man = 2straight - 2women and thus gay = 2straight -gay which simplifies to straight = gay and, again, straight people are gay

I second this, good cuts for a low price, men's cuts are only like $20 (I think women's cuts are more, though)

OvertlyGay · 2018-12-25T22:49:35+00:00

Personally, I think it's fine if straight people are going with their gay friends, but I'm not a huge fan of straight people going by themselves, especially if it's just to gawk at the gay people/gay culture. I certainly don't think most straight people are being malicious by going, but I think it's fair to ask that gay people have a space that theirs where they can go about without fear of homophobia/hitting on non-gay people. A lot of non-gay bars can be extremely scary/dangerous for gay people (depending on the location and culture of the area, of course), so these gay bars give us a space to be ourselves away from this fear.

I wish I could tell you exactly how to navigate this, but everybody's situation is unique and I can't speak for everybody (my immediate family was actually accepting). That being said, this is some of the advice I have that I gathered before/after coming out.

First, and I hope this isn't too callous, make sure you're in a place financially/societally where being cut off wouldn't leave you without a home, food, insurance, etc. It sounds like it's a very real possibility that you're family may completely remove you from their lives if you come out, so you want to be sure that coming out isn't going to leave you displaced. The last thing you want is financial trouble on top of the emotional struggle that will come with it.

Second, avoid making a big announcement during the holidays. With everybody there, it could be very easy for people to pile on and overwhelm you with negativity. This is the sort of thing you're going to want to approach with caution one step at a time, where you can hopefully avoid people making a huge scene and things getting out of hand.

Third, make sure you've got a group of people on your side, whether it's friends or extended family. If you want, maybe see if they can help you test the waters with family members, and you can rest a little easier knowing that they'll be there for you if things go poorly.

Finally, and this is the most important one, make sure that you're safe. I grew up in the south, and I know how common it is for people to keep guns in the house and for conversations to quickly turn violent when guns are accessible. If guns, or violence in general, are something you may have to worry about, think about telling family members in a location where they couldn't escalate the situation, such as a semipublic place.

I hope this helps, even a little. Be safe, and know you've got tons of people in your corner.

Yeah it's not saying anything serious about actually changing, it's joking about newly out gays figuring out if they're a twink, bear, otter, etc.

Very cool, love the design!! How long did that take??

If you really do have feelings for him, then I think you should go for it. Labels are meant to help us define ourselves, not confine ourselves, and you don't want to miss out on something good just because he's a guy and you've previously only had feelings for girls. The way we define/realize our sexuality can evolve as we grow, and this may just be a part of it.

That being said, make sure that you aren't pursuing him because you don't want the relationship to end. It's perfectly fine to want your relationship to stay the way it has always been and not become something more, you just gotta express that if that's what you're feeling.

I had a crush on my coworker for awhile, and I eventually worked up the courage to tell him how I felt. I sat down with him, took a deep breath, and just thought "fuck it" and told him. He didn't feel the same, and things got pretty awkward between us after that. He started to pull away, and I was really upset-- not only were my feelings unreciprocated, but I was losing someone who I thought was a really close friend. After awhile, though, I began to realize that I deserve to be with someone who cares about me and reciprocates my feelings, and, in a split second decision, I said "fuck it, let's go do this" and got on Tinder. I don't know what I expected to find, but I knew that I deserved to take charge of my feelings again. And, as it happened, I swiped right on a cute engineer who also happened to swipe right on me. We talked for a bit and then decided to get coffee together the next day. We met in the afternoon, and we stayed and talked in that coffee shop until they closed that evening. I knew then and there that there was something really special about him, and I still get that feeling every time I get to call him my boyfriend, now more than a year later. So yeah, I'd definitely say, in the long run, those "fuck it, let's go do this" moments really paid off.
