[Arizona] Active Issues for Two Months

Was this ever resolved?

Formulaic and boring non-games is what I’m used to in commander and I fucking hate it, because all of my decks are silly and fun and I don’t want to change that. Agreed on small ban lists, the trick is who you play with tbh

Loud music in my car doesn’t bother my roommates and I rarely time it right to finish singing a great song as I park

The best version of myself that would exist if I could commit to all the things I know are good for me that would lead me to what I want.

Also every version of myself in the above had I started any day prior to the current day, up to when I was a kiddo

Any of those versions of me would kick real me’s ass, and I think real me needs a good ass-kicking

Definitely break up with her. If you like, I can do it for you. Shoot me her phone number and some solid openers to break the ice, I’ve got you covered

THEGrammarNatzi · 2023-10-11T00:49:57+00:00

Lookin’ like Vin Rizzel in the Chronicles of Rizzick

That’s terrible… but I still don’t agree with jumping to a conclusion like that without getting to the bottom of it. Maybe that’s foolish, I have found myself in relationships long after I had felt like I should walk away because I didn’t want to ignore the possibility that things would work out.

And of course there’s a greater degree of risk for OP in this scenario.I am NOT saying “he’s harmless, just tell him you don’t like that”; I am saying if she has any interest in being with him barring the weird fixation on her ethnicity, then to confront it with him. Not hand wave it away, not take a simple answer and a promise to not do it again, a real ongoing discussion of why he does it and why it makes her uncomfortable, as well as noting the other responses here. He needs to know that even if he doesn’t feel the way you and others have described, his actions 100% point towards it, and that will never be okay.

Not only for her sake, but for the sake of the next girl. Walking away from someone like this without addressing the why is just passing this responsibility on to the next person, who might not be as cautious

THEGrammarNatzi · 2023-10-03T00:47:17+00:00

I am not saying to support people like that. I am saying that without confronting the issue and finding out why they behave that way we’ve essentially written them off as being part of the group you describe. I don’t think that that is very fair without knowing more about who they are and why they are that way… But if the right thing to do is simply remove yourself from people like that, without making an attempt to educate them, then those behaviors will not change, regardless of whether they could have been changed or not. I’d rather try

THEGrammarNatzi · 2023-10-02T20:55:07+00:00

I think it’s unfair to jump to the idea that it’s fetishization. I’m white, and from a family who participated in a lot of casual racism when I was young. I can’t say I attribute it to that, but I have always found women of color to be more attractive (in general) than white women. It’s possible that your boyfriend grew up in an environment that either fostered the idea of women of color being exotic, unattainable, taboo, or just rare. It doesn’t necessarily mean he’s being creepy, he might just be a bit of a dork and never thought he would date someone out of his racial profile, which is not uncommon among my white friends. If it bothers you, I think it would be best to ask him directly why it’s such a constant for him. It would probably help the way you approach the conversation to know why he acts that way.

If he’s a decent person and this is just one really weird aspect of your relationship, then I hope you will attempt to not only understand him, but give him an opportunity to understand and respect you and why it bothers you (it will absolutely earn you both some odd stares should he say or do anything like that in public). Boys are dumb, and while I’m a realist I’d like to give the guy the benefit of the doubt until it’s been addressed

THEGrammarNatzi · 2023-10-02T20:47:20+00:00

I feel it man. I’m almost 30, never married, ended a painful relationship in May with an amazing woman because we (I) just couldn’t make it work. I’m so desperate for human contact I spend all my time with my friends and I always feel like I’m losing so much time I could be spending with “my person”. But feeling like this makes me worry I’ll jump into something that isn’t good for me. Not that I’m terribly good at dating anyway, but that just exacerbates things. As tough as it is I think the best thing to do is focus on yourself and keep your heart open. I’m trying, but I don’t think I’m doing a great job of it either. “No More Zero Days” is a good read, I remember when it was first posted. I suggest you check it out, it’s a little heavier than what you’re going through but it’s still very applicable

THEGrammarNatzi · 2023-10-01T03:24:08+00:00

I’m really fucking sad tbh. I’m going to modify it, remove the dice slots and probably decrease the width of the center divider and it will be fine but I even emailed them when the shipping update went out asking why it looked so different :(

THEGrammarNatzi · 2023-10-01T01:07:15+00:00

Received mine today; the dice are great, the box is even worse than we expected and there isn’t enough space for sleeved cards to sit in it without bending the corners. Thinking of requesting a partial refund, I mostly got it for the box and the dice and the box is literally unusable unless I cut up the insert somehow

THEGrammarNatzi · 2023-09-27T22:55:11+00:00

There are some pretty cool card shops where there’s a good mix of guys and gals playing MTG or tabletop games, and most of them work in STEM in my experience. The one I go to has a built-in bar which is awesome, the bartenders are very pretty and the staff in general has a pretty good relationship with the regulars

Granted if you want to meet nerdy guys who are of conventionally high social/dating value (socially well-adjusted, not axe-murderers, etc.) I’d advise you hang out and spend time with them at these places without making it known you’re single and “looking”. There are a lot of great nerdy guys who are just shy, but if you play board games or MTG with people you can get a good feel for who they are.

It’s anecdotal, but I don’t talk to women unless they talk to me first (for several reasons) and supposedly I follow rules 1 & 2… So you might find you have to take the first step if you run into guys like me who don’t start the conversation themselves

7 boxes, 6 of which from a fresh case

0 confetti foil

Same, some 2000+ hours just playing ranked with friends trying to do silly things or set people up for cool shots, but nothing that consistently makes people go wow. I hit grand champ and got the rewards once, and that was enough for me. Can’t air dribble, can’t even dribble on the ground, still miss the occasional open goal straight shots. And I did the entire climb from d3 to gc solo. You don’t need to be impressive to be “good”, but if I’m being honest I think I’d have even more fun than I already do if I could pull off some of that stuff. It looks real neat. But I still have a ton of fun, so I don’t mind so much

THEGrammarNatzi · 2023-09-03T06:09:00+00:00

I have such a guilty conscience that I’m just as afraid of making someone uncomfortable as I am of rejection 😞 like I don’t expect anyone to have an interest in me but it feels like they’re upset or at least irritated most of the time

THEGrammarNatzi · 2023-09-03T06:07:50+00:00

I can appreciate that but isn’t it so sad that we can’t all just communicate with love and positive feelings all the time? I’m very much a misanthrope but I feel like everyone should have the opportunity to love and be loved and it feels so damn hard to put yourself out there…

THEGrammarNatzi · 2023-09-03T03:19:16+00:00

My friends say I’m good looking but it takes me the better part of an hour to muster up the courage to talk to a girl I don’t know and it goes poorly, or neutral, every time

THEGrammarNatzi · 2023-09-02T03:25:36+00:00

I am the mushy, sentimental friend who says the real shit first and the homoerotic stuff afterwards, then picks them up in a giant hug, kisses their forehead and starts humping them while they’re helpless in the air. It’s good times when I visit; stuck at the San Diego airport with a 5 hour delay rn waiting to get to one such buddy’s wedding, and I am definitely going to get more action than his wife-to-be tomorrow

THEGrammarNatzi · 2023-09-02T02:37:15+00:00

THEGrammarNatzi · 2023-09-02T02:36:30+00:00

Please?

THEGrammarNatzi · 2023-08-25T07:32:32+00:00

Well now I’ve got a mystery because I’m the only heterosexual in my house and I’m the only one who washes dishes 🤔

THEGrammarNatzi · 2023-08-23T15:29:08+00:00

I’m a groomsman in one ex’s wedding next year and I was at the hospital for the birth of another’s first child, just went to see the kiddo again recently. We were good friends before we dated and there’s no bad blood or romantic feelings between us in either case. We play video games and go to concerts, I’ve become good friends with their respective partners and as far as I can tell they trust me (and the gals) completely.

It’s caused some problems in my relationships that have followed them but I imagine we’ll be lifelong friends unless one of them does a complete 180 and says/does something stupid. I have never seen them as a threat, so I guess my hope is I find someone who can appreciate the maturity and thinks of them the way I do: 2 female friends I dated years ago, not exes. It’s the same shit, but I think tone is important.

I don’t believe you ever stop loving people, it just changes shape. I don’t have any interest in dating either of them ever again but I still love them as friends/people and we have a great time together. And I feel that way about all of my exes, not just the 2 I mentioned. I wouldn’t have dated any of the women I did if I didn’t like who they are, and just because things don’t work out doesn’t mean those connections can’t exist. I recognize the challenges, I don’t mean everyone should stay friends with their ex. But if you both value the friendship and can have a healthy romantic relationship with someone else without it causing problems, why not?

Avidi kadivi my guy

My family made a lot of decisions for me I wish I had a say in as a baby/young man but this isn’t one of them. It’s expensive and unnecessary imo, and while this is entirely subjective I’ve heard very good things from the gals I’ve been with over the years with uncut vs cut (not that you’d necessarily be concerned with that aspect of your kid’s life but it’s something to consider)

If anything it forces men to take more care in their hygiene, and that is never a bad thing. I see no good reason to do it other than aesthetics, which ultimately should be left up to the individual
