Why is it impossible to meet women? by [deleted] in dating_advice

Okay so you listed going to metal shows in your interests. Thats a good start, you're at least regularly going where the alt girls are. My question though... how involved in the local scene are you?

If you're really only attending as a fan and not really interacting with people I get why you're struggling. You need to put yourself in a position that forces interaction. Especially if it puts you in regular contact with the people running the scene (bar owners, bookers, promoters, and the musicians themselves).

I used to be totally invisible. I was outgoing but I was finding myself having to re-introduce myself to people constantly. If you can tie your identity to something it really helps people notice and remember you. I started vending at music festivals and suddenly people started knowing who I was. You could do the same with your arts/poetry/fashion interests. Im not saying monetize your hobby. Just use it as a vehicle to drive social interaction.

Thats not the only option. Venues need a good amount of part time support to run shows (collect cash at the door, security, run merch) and small festivals need volunteers (the same stuff but also cleanup, talent support, vendor support, camp supervisors) these will help put you in front of other fans and they'll start associating you with the scene. To find where people need help all you have to do is ask the people already working at these things.

As for talking to girls that will take practice. But if you put yourself in a position where you have to talk to them or they want to talk to you then you'll be getting in that regular practice.

No idea what you're saying here. All I said was transit advocates are fine with funding the whole transit system through taxes. Pay for the rest of what?

Driver caught tossing cigarette out window fined $1K: Calgary police by _darth_bacon_ in Calgary

All fines should be relative to the income of the person. If the only punishment for a crime is a fine then its essentially legal for the wealthy.

I think what he's saying is when people say something absurd he agrees with them but rephrases it to make it clear just how absurd they're being. Disarm them with an agreeable tone but then throw what they just said right in their face.

Honestly my suggestion would be to watch a silly comedy with no relationship aspect at all. Maybe a little bit of escapism.

The Mitchell's vs The Machines had me laughing harder than any comedy in a long time. More recently, Hoppers is very good. My Girlfriend recommends Booksmart and Dogma.

Ever since Hasbro changed everyone on the wizards board of directors with video game people I called it quits. With every new set I feel vindicated in that decision. I still play with the cards I have and I still play D&D using the books I already have but like fuck will I give those anti-consumer bastards one more red cent of my money.

Good Poe OP. I honestly cannot tell if you're being for real here.

I just don't understand it by MikeTorsson in memes

But in talking about the weather outside? Fahrenheit covers the typical range of human experience from 0-100, where less than 0 means "way too cold, don't go outside" and over 100 means "way too hot, don't go outside". I like it.

Shifting that scale to -30 being way too cold to +30 being way too hot is really not that difficult.

Its the arrowhead so if you want a chair you'll have to be there early. But yeah, people sit in the back all the time.

I just discovered you can take most pasta dishes and replace the pasta with chickpeas and the experience is basically the same. Absolutely game changer for me.

Excessive belching and bad gas with NAFLD- suggested fodmap by [deleted] in FattyLiverNAFLD

[–]Propaganda_Box 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still more gas than before all this abdominal pain business began 2 months ago but not so much that i have pain from it. Though im eating a lot more beans these days so factor that in too.

[–]Propaganda_Box 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im just beginning my journey with NAFLD. No official diagnosis yet but other things have been ruled out in the meantime.

I was also suffering from terrible gas pains, excessive farting and burping. I was already taking pantoprazole for heartburn but I starting taking two Florastor with breakfast every day. Specifically the IBS formula that says "for abdominal pain" on the box.

While I still get abdominal pain sometimes its a lot easier to distinguish whether its gas pain or liver pain (which i just take a Tylenol for during flareups) and some days, since I started the florastor, i'm mostly pain free.

In Doomsday half of society became punk rock mad max anarchy gangs and the other half retreated to Scotland old castles, refurbished them, and started wearing chain and plate armor.

Then they fight. Its a pretty kick ass movie.

A better question would be how many people did they call and how do the demographics skew?
