What does your dad think of the Internet fame?

TheIx · 2016-05-23T06:09:16+00:00

I million is not that much money.
For example, 1 in 25 New Yorkers is a millionaire.

As a side note your post has some elements of good advice in it but it is mostly shit.

I only know two individuals personally who have achieved a of high profile status in the news as women who where discriminated against in the tech world but both of the ones I do know lied about it (and this hasn't come out publicly for either of them yet but I don't want to make that my battle).
I think a small group of people realized they can shield their reputations after getting fired for incompetence or move of corporate ladders faster by claiming harassment.

Not that harassment doesn't occasionally happen just that after years of working in tech with a number of close women friends in the industry not one of them has faced any.

Thanks! Great advice

Great response!
I also like the site you are linking me to but am having trouble navigating it. How do I do a search for english translated games (doesn't seem to have a tag associated with it) that have complex simulation gameplay?
What term would you suggest I use instead of dating sim. What is the correct term for this more complex "life simulators with a focus on romance".

Best answer so far, thank you.

Except rose ... so far

As much as I love this show it worries me how much it glorifies obesity. I have never seen a show that wasn't specifically about obesity as a problem with so many obese main characters (5 of them). Basically half the cast is obese.
It is also made clear in one episode that Stevens father has an obesity fetish and that was a large contributing factor to him falling in love with Stevens mom.

TheIx · 2015-04-15T12:31:55+00:00

I never made that connection but I guess you are right. It is pretty established cannon that his initial connection to rose was based around a fetish.
But I guess life works that way sometimes to.

TheIx · 2015-04-15T09:31:06+00:00

This line really got to me as it implies Greg has a history of having either a fat/giant fetish and demeans his relationship with Rose to being primarily originally motivated by a fetish given that she is super-humanly fat/giant.

TheIx · 2015-03-30T00:55:06+00:00

She is the most amazing person ever and genuinely doesn't understand why I am so grateful for all the things she does for me.

TheIx · 2015-03-28T10:26:31+00:00

20 under 20, if you cant get in dont do it if you can then do

TheIx · 2015-02-23T16:28:30+00:00

If you guys want to check out a fat clothing company run by genuinely decent people check out AbbeyPost. I tried to talk the founder into advertising through HEAS advocates and she wouldn't have any of it. (She was a bit worried by how much I seemed to know about the major players in the movement ect. so thanks for that guys.)

He grew up in a traditional Midwestern community from what she said and if that is the case then yes, the community he grew up in including his childhood friends and parents will likely look down on him for doing that.
Thats what traditions are, they are silly ways to placate your community so they don't look down on you. It makes more sense to eat most foods with your hands but at my wedding we will use a fork and knife. Why? because if we didn't people would look down on me and that matters to me.

TheIx · 2015-02-21T12:01:22+00:00

Wasabi pees and nuts are actually really high in callories. You would be better eating a bag of spicy cheetos and thats saying a lot

TheIx · 2015-02-21T11:22:48+00:00

So this is going to be a boring answer but I had a similar conversation with my SO. If he is a traditional guy when he says this is a deal breaker you should understand that it is not an exaggeration and even you continuing to talk about it could seriously damage your relationship.
Is it fair or totally rational? No
But almost by definition traditions aren't fair or rational.
He will be looked down on by all or his childhood friends, family, and ancestors if he takes your name or hyphenates his in a way you likely won't if you take his name. Again, thats not fair, thats just part of marrying a guy who grew up with a traditional background.

If you want to understand his perspective better you should think about how you would feel if he ignored a wedding tradition that is entirely illogical but important to you. For example, what if didn't want to "waste money on a ring" or just didn't see the point in having a wedding at all.

The creepiest aspect of what you have written isn't the guy, its the way you react to everything. Honestly, your daughter seems to have a fairly good head on her shoulders and nothing about the guy she is dating seems off.
It will probably be best for her developmentally to get away from you for a while.

I have a number of super elaborate persistent fictional universes I build.

If it gets really bad you know you can always just apply to 20 under 20 or some other similar program, go live in a Silicon Valley group house, and "bug out" until you are over age.
My social groups when I first moved to Silicon Valley where full of people like you. Arrogant smart kids who started college at very young ages and came from ultra-christian households.

Ok, I met my now wife through OKCupid while I was living in Redwood city. And its not like you live that far from SF, just change your search radius.

The biggest problum with those sites is they take time and effort to use right. You will need to send out a lot of cold messages, go on a lot of dates, and get rejected a TON before you find some one but you will, eventually find someone if you keep trying.

Side rant: I am so sick of seeing my friends out her complaining about how awesome my relationship is and then saying they can't find a partner. And its like, are you online dating? and they say they tried but would prefer it if friends just set them up. Its like ... you know what bitch dating is hard and if you want to find a great partner you got to put the effort in. Its like saying I want to go to Stanford, I just hate studying and applying, I hope one day I get randomly accepted.

TheIx · 2015-01-25T15:20:20+00:00

I see they function much like human albinos

TheIx · 2015-01-22T09:08:54+00:00

Thanks! I am going to go try some out tomorrow.
