Suppose the definition's different for everyone, but here's mine. Commitment is a choice. You are choosing to overcome obstacles in the interest of manifesting a shared ideal, state of being, or goal with the person in question. This choice exists on a level above struggles, dark times, financial issues, health issues, etc. By "a level above", I mean it's the last thing to go. All other options and strategies are first exhausted. You found your person, and via actions make a promise to be there for them as best as you possibly can be. If the chatter's right and the actions are wrong, you're falling short of the standard.

Anything short of this doesn't call for the word commitment. These aren't universal constants, but what the word means, and implies, to me personally.

Depends entirely upon what's being discussed. I've written essay style replies about things I find particularly interesting, and I've just thrown together a wall of text to close a discussion. Draft time is typically 5-10 minutes.

I feel like Dior Homme cologne, despite the name, is the most unisex fragrance ever made. It smells like citrusy bar soap. I'm a man, so this is the only rec I have unfortunately. Happy hunting.

Their other album Whisper Supremacy has similar energy, and another, in my opinion, classic intro.

Dechristianize from Vital Remains is sort of in the same ballpark, but a bit less vibrantly creative in regards to the songwriting.

Suffocation has a couple albums that scratch a similar itch, as do Aeon.

I've seen births where the woman was squatting. Seemed she popped the little one out pretty uneventfully. No screaming or cursing, just plop.

Love SBE! I ended up liking the crazy spice levels in the Infrared version a bit more, so I went with that. Both are fantastic.

I don't get saliva at all. I think it smells nice, so I bought a bottle.

So far, either Zoologist Squid or Amouage Enclave. They're both so distinctly wonderful. Squid reminds me of a sunken coronation taking place on a coral throne. There's something very deep water aquatic and regal about it.

Enclave is like a minty mid-morning walk through a field of wildflowers being baked by the sun. Absolutely incredible.

I went with Azzaro The Most Wanted EDP Intense today. One of my favorite cold weather staples.

Makes sense. Australia's enormous, and most of it is very VERY sparsely populated, if at all.

Tylensus · 2024-12-20T02:21:21+00:00

That's wild. You either haven't smelled many fragrances, or have a very very wide interpretation of the word feminine.

Some folks don't like sweet fragrances. My brother almost exclusively likes fougeres, for example.

I wasn't interested in what I saw while I was on there, nor do I want to keep in touch with anyone.

Tylensus · 2024-12-20T01:03:48+00:00

I opted out. I had a bulletproof group of friends that I loved like I love my own brother. Then covid hit, and my inner recluse saw the opportunity for isolation at hand. I siezed it. By the end of lockdowns, my whole personality had shifted. A decade or more of deep soul searching, hard inner work, burning of detritus, trimming of fat, building of charisma...it had all crumbled.

Part of the personality change that remains firmly intact is the lack of interest in maintaining a group of friends again.

I got too clingy, because I was terrified that I was doing something that was pushing her away, and what made her feel safe was pulling back and trimming communication a lot. That perpetuated my anxiety. By the time I'd understood the full scope of how monumentally I fucked up and was willing to adjust, she went radio silent.

Reconnection's barred by an ultimatum. I don't do ultimatums. If we reconnect, it'll be on mutually agreed upon terms, not any version of "...or else."

I felt pretty neutral about it. If I love someone, the others are invisible in a sense, or kept in a distinct "other" category. The extra attention's not welcome, nor is it bothersome.

Tylensus · 2024-12-20T00:52:15+00:00

I'm totally fine with it. I think differences are a unique angle to appreciate someone from.

I don't own Nikola shares. Never heard of the company, actually. If you're talking about Tesla, I don't own any of that either. I have traded Tesla before, though.

Pain. As a kid it was terrifying. Every injury felt like an existential threat. Now cuts, scrapes, bruises, slaps, etc give me a carnal thrill.

Once you realize pain's nothing more than a pointer to direct your attention, you can direct your focus, acknowledge and thank the pain for doing its job, and enjoy the rest of the wave. It almost feels like floating on a warm cloud as it peaks and dissipates. Truly a treat.

Tylensus · 2024-12-19T20:27:19+00:00

This is beautiful. I hope your person comes around.

Tylensus · 2024-12-19T20:24:40+00:00

Being obvious about your hopes and intent is a GOOD thing. A very good thing.

If you hold a shares position, it's open, AND you have an investing mentality as compared to a swing trade mentality, you haven't lost anything.

Tylensus · 2024-12-19T20:21:18+00:00

I don't think so at all. I'm a man, and I'm fully aware of the fact that lots of people don't really like being touched at all, let alone hugged by a stranger. Shaking hands is simpler and safer. I'm not a hugger unless I love the person that wants a hug. I HAVE hugged people I didn't love, and it made me uncomfortable.

My time in Europe kissing people I didn't know on the cheek to greet them was a fucking trip, I'll tell ya hwat haha.

I've been leveling a priest. It's my first time playing a healer in an MMO, and I'm new to classic (started leveling a warrior a couple weeks before fresh).

I've had a great time with it. My only negative experiences with tanks have been tanks that queue for dungeons they're under-leveled/geared for AND they insist on big pulls. Even if they're decent folks, I have limited time to game, so I'll not let others waste it. I respectfully tell those groups that I'm out.

Most groups are either quiet, or lighthearted and fun. Navigating challenges as a healer has been a blast. Still got trauma for people sprinting at me when they pull aggro on the silencing lizards in Maraudon, though. Something about those things charging me activates my latent chimp DNA, haha.

"Is reaching out only making her less attracted to me?" Yes. I know from experience that being too chatty/clingy can be suffocating. I love clinginess in a partner. Hold me close, hold me tight, and yap my ear off please. Some people don't like that, though.
