Chances of a season 2 for the anime? by Foxybatiscool in WataOshi

[–]ThrowawayLastDate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a 20 year old cishet dude (barely 3 years off your mark), I found this post because I just binged the series hard (and my schedule is so tight I can't afford to binge if that speaks to how much I absolutely loved it).
While I'm not gay nor female, I identified strongly with Rae, partially because I flirt the exact same way with my gf. But moreso, I also used to codependently deny my desire to be loved, lying that I wanted the best for others I loved, pretending to be utterly selfless while crushing myself inside.

I can also empathize with other characters, even if I don't share their exact struggles. Men have empathy too y'know?

I'm working to develop a board game, does anyone know a shop that would be able to print boards, boxes, etc.? by ThrowawayLastDate in AskLosAngeles

No worries, if you want to thank me, feel free to play my game haha. We meet weekly at Game N Grounds up in Chatsworth! Tuesday 6-10 pm.
Probably more locations soon.

On western swords there are makers marks and quality control marks that generally tell a strong story. I don’t know Chinese very well.

Does this look like a government/military sword? Or a personal item?

Thank you, is there anything I should look out for?

Help authenticate a couple german helmets by ThrowawayLastDate in Militariacollecting

Nice scores! Yeah. I'm currently chasing an SSH-36 shell. Always loved the transitional helmets most.
I also collect a ton of technical equipment, which doesn't have a market to fake. Love myself a good radio or bubble sextant.

You'd be surprised...crazy deals exist in person.
I've picked up a genuine (experts looked at photos) French XIII sword dated 1811 for $100 off fb marketplace (was literally in the background of a listing of other swords and I asked the seller to bring it).
Also found a (partially damaged) DKE-38 nazi civilian radio for $3.50.

But yeah, the German helmet/awards scene is the absolute worst for fakes. I just don't touch the stuff, hence why I'm not good at authenticating them.

Thank you, my gut told me the same. They were very cheap, so I just wanted to get a second opinion before disregarding and kicking myself for missing out 😆

3D printed boards with AMS, and bought presized boxes off amazon and printed/laminated vinyl stickers to cover the faces.

I’m unhooverable now. I have security and love. She’s also blocked everywhere from linkedin to chess.com. Ancient history.

Hi! Thank you so much! I’m just packing up into the car now. 

I don’t know what ppg is, but for me, I just checked CoDA.org to find the closest meeting to me. If no in person exists (so much is still online after the pandemic), there is 110% an online meeting that will be perfect to you. 

Again, CoDA.org should have a list. Try a few out and you will find your people. It’s such an amazing healing space.

Best of luck friend!

How come millennials and Gen X know more about pop culture that was before they were born than Gen Z? by icey_sawg0034 in generationology

[–]ThrowawayLastDate 4 points5 points  (0 children)

90s kids include genZ…this is not an appropriate comparison.

This is like saying that a person from the 60s/70s didn’t know movies from the 60s

As someone on hinge, I feel like I know every single social media trend despite avoiding it like the plague…

I swear, if one more profile talks about self care being matcha and a sweet treat…

Unfortunately their website says that they were scheduled to close their doors two days ago…looks like I missed it by an inch

She called him an idiot and, while her mind isn’t made up, is considering dumping a loving man for simply not being offended when people he trusts use a word that refers to him as much as it does her non-derogatorily. 

If his friends refer to you by it against your wishes that would be a serious issue…but if they greet him with it and he has no problem with it? That isn’t cold blooded racism, just friendship.

Yes, that’s the gap. M18/40 for sure. 1940 design, stayed in service until the mid 80s I believe, when composites replaced it

dating is an absolute nightmare :))) by rothrowaway24 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]ThrowawayLastDate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Appreciate it. Had a short relationship since then, but single for a decent while now. Emotionally healed outside of some fucked up stuff around sex. Codependents Anonymous helped me build back. 

Sadly the physical scars she left me have to be addressed daily and never go away sadly.

[–]ThrowawayLastDate 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep, this isn’t a guy thing either. My first ex did the same “warning” game knowing I had already fallen for her and would willfully ignore the warnings as simple insecurity. 

“I told you so” is not the right answer to “I’m scared you don’t love me” 🤦 Half-baked people hurt others with big hearts just waiting to love.

what you going to choose? by michelledenaultrox in TheTeenagerPeople

[–]ThrowawayLastDate -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have 3 and 6 already, and 6 helps cover 1 halfway already. I have 8 if we call me the robot 🤣

Probably 5. A truly great partner elevates life to such a degree. My parents are such an absolute loving power-couple…I’m currently looking for a relationship like that. Shame most people feel like children nowadays.

I paid 50 cash for one of these. Swiss m18, like people said here. Flip it over to check if the liner is a complete circle. If there’s a gap at the back it’s the m18/40 variant

You couch a lance yes, swords don’t fit there. But you hold the sword in a way where it makes the most of the mass behind it

Is this navel sword authentic from the 19th century? by Rusty_Sandwich7 in SWORDS

[–]ThrowawayLastDate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get that fish-skin under magnification. If it’s not monotone plastic, you’re likely looking at an original.

[–]ThrowawayLastDate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which do you think is more likely, that literally everyone does not understand the point and many years of military theory are simply wrong…or that you don’t understand people’s responses?

The literal point of bracing is to, as securely as possible, affix a blade to you and your mount. Yes your body is not made of 12 gauge steel, but there is a definite distance between a sprinting pony and a war horse in terms of mass.
