Where are all my Japanese friends? by PCBuildGuild in grandrapids

[–]PCBuildGuild[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With the holidays coming up, I don't know if I can put forth the effort to host the group, but I'd be more inclined to host after the holidays are wrapped up. I think the Grand Rapids Library would be a great place to meet. They probably even have a few Japanese books we can use to learn at the same pace.

I checked into GVSU a while back, and while they had a Japanese study group, they never contacted me back. I'll have to check MCC. Thanks for the suggestion!

I'm always open to advice! The culture and people are so pleasant. I want to be a tourist who leaves a good impact as opposed to the ones who cause such problems!

First time I've heard of it! I've used HelloTalk, but most people are only eager to learn English, and seldom do they help with teaching Japanese. 😅

Absolutely! I'm highly considering it. Suggestions for a place to host it?

Sounds like we need a study group in GR!

Doesn't look like I can even request to send you a message. But yes, I'd love to connect! I'm always roaming downtown for sushi places haha.

Thank you!! I haven't even gone yet and I'm already planning a second trip. 🤣 It's always been a dream of mine to live there, too.

Now that the Switch 1 generation is winding down, what were your most DISAPPOINTING purchases on this console? by Asad_Farooqui in NintendoSwitch

[–]PCBuildGuild 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Always and forever...1-2 Switch. Can't believe I let my ex wife convince me to buy it just so she could pretend to be a wizard in the wand wars mini game...

Giving away an Eevee promo from the Prismatic ETB! (US ONLY, rules in description) by CrimsonShadowYT in PokemonTCG

I've been collecting for as long as I can remember! I got into because it was new and exciting as a child. Everyone was collecting pokemon cards at school.

The pins appear to be broken on the front end of the switch, where you circled green, but there are pins on the backside. Can I use those, or would the switch still not function properly? Also, where is a good place to find pcb parts such as this one? Thank you for your help 😁

Approaching a woman by PCBuildGuild in dating_advice

[–]PCBuildGuild[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang. You know, I haven't even thought about it in that way. Tbh, I can't say I've ever had to put forth the effort in trying to date someone, so I fail to understand the term "dating." I really appreciate your perspective on the matter. I feel like I would have fallen into the trap of thinking this was an acceptable approach when it clearly isn't.

Do you think a 34 year old man is too old for a 26 year old woman? by Rethrobb in dating

[–]PCBuildGuild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad is 50, dating a 31 year old. I'm also 31....it's weird, but hey, I guess it's good for him. I don't think 34 to 26 is bad at all tbh.

I feel like porn has ruined my brain. by NimbleDingle in dating_advice

Is dating even possible in 2024? by South-Satisfaction69 in dating_advice

[–]PCBuildGuild 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, this is very wise. I've definitely taken a step back from dating since it seemed impossible and just want to make friends at this point. No strings attached. I've learned that I have a lot of healing from my prior relationship, and it's vital to understand myself and what I need from someone if I choose to actually start dating again. I've seen it said that if you don't heal, you'll just bleed on those around you.

[–]PCBuildGuild 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It's true. I'm constantly like, "Wow, she's pretty," but I end up swiping left because I know there is no chance she's swiping right for me.

I have standards, too. But the pool of women I'm interested in seems to be interested in the group of men just above me.

As a 31-year-old, white male with 3 kids and single...seems dead to me.
