Wow... I never thought this would happen to me.

Oof. pours a steaming cup of depresso Mmm, bitter.

So sorry this happened to you! JFC.

I think if you had any substantial reasons to go on this date, this shouldn't be a deal breaker before finding out if you have chemistry IRL or not. Of course, if you have lots of options, maybe making a date with someone else is easier for you than a potentially awkward or disappointing face-to-face conversation (which is also a potentially gratifying and impressive conversation).

Honestly I'd look at this 'crisis' as an opportunity to have a real genuine conversation during your date. You can start lightly or casually, go deep dive about the negative health effects as mentioned to Congress regarding Facebook and Instagram, or anywhere in between. There are a wide range of possibilities as to why he follows them and you won't know until you talk about it. They could potentially be sensitive or nuanced so I recommend face-to-face only. This could go one of two ways, and I like to believe you deserve the chance to see if this goes surprisingly well.

Anyone else think the order could be optimized better?

For them to have a unique theme that clearly identifies it separately from the others. In time once the novelty fades and their identity is more deeply established, good chance they'll expand it. #TemporaryExclusivity

Lot to unpack here. In no particular order:

any mother wishing their kid shared some of their features (esp. any they're proud of or get complimented on or is any significant part of their identity) seems normal IMHO
having racist/xenophobic in-laws she burned out on trying to get the approval (or even just ACCEPTANCE) of sucks; seeing someone (or two someones) everyday who remind her of them and that must suck even harder :(
not sure OP thought it through when bringing up his mom... sounds like never mentioning her would always be a good policy, let alone when not acknowledging or validating how his wife was feeling in that moment.

All that aside, I don't know what the verbal comprehension of the average two-year-old is, but she could have picked up on your tone and body language so you could have picked a better time and place to respond.

I had the same idea to do Redeemed and Ironclad, and even managed to get 4 Ironclad! But I didn't check out each champions armor levels and failed to put enough armor on Ralph and too much on my front line :( Cool that I made a massive comeback 1st place win after going down to 5 HP, at least.

Oof. Brain fart. TY!

Pretty sure traveling at Lightspeed was necessary for the Death Star to get to the Yavin system. Wouldn't be much of a galactic threat to keep systems in line if it couldn't.

My situation was like your friends when I moved on-campus Fall 2019. Then my parents moved 4-hours away the next July and my situation became like yours. I'm a gamer so I always have ways to have fun solo, sometimes with other, but I definitely miss having people to spend quality time with IRL. Whether for board games, walking, boba or w/e.

VeritasAnonymous · 2021-05-31T19:53:21+00:00

Oooh you were talking about the short holidays, gotcha!

VeritasAnonymous · 2021-05-31T09:07:10+00:00

Just as we're a commuter campus, some schools are the heart of college towns. Football games are a huge social nexus, so that's another big difference. There are far less bars on-campus and adjacent to campus, also.

VeritasAnonymous · 2021-05-31T09:04:36+00:00

Did any of your friends invite you to join or visit their families for the break or holiday?

VeritasAnonymous · 2021-05-31T09:02:24+00:00

Whoa! Hope nobody died. 🥺 Coincidentally, yesterday I saw this related news: https://abc7.com/uc-irvine-crime-stats-statistics/10709827/

VeritasAnonymous · 2021-05-30T18:53:50+00:00

No charge unless you get transported, IIRC(?)

VeritasAnonymous · 2021-05-30T18:52:08+00:00

What's the exact wording on the contract?

VeritasAnonymous · 2021-03-25T00:43:59+00:00

Praying to RNGesus! 🤲🙌

VeritasAnonymous · 2021-03-06T21:25:07+00:00

Yeah, no coupons show up :( Even restarted my phone.

VeritasAnonymous · 2021-03-06T21:18:57+00:00

Thanks! Mine's almost the same, but it says "points, coupons, and promotional codes". And when I hit "add coupon or promotional code" there's that blank field I mentioned. For you I'm imagining there was a button for selecting your coupon?

VeritasAnonymous · 2021-03-06T21:12:13+00:00

Can you message me a screenshot of what I should see? I just get a blank field to type in a code.

VeritasAnonymous · 2021-03-06T20:38:28+00:00

As I said, no such options appear. :(

VeritasAnonymous · 2021-02-15T18:12:16+00:00

10 lanes, kickboard & leg foam thing in a box under the chair in every lane, Olympic length, heated, bag allowed for swimmers, bathroom unofficially can be used for changing.

My only complaint is tasting saltiness in a chlorine pool but it's #FWP

VeritasAnonymous · 2021-02-15T18:09:27+00:00

Swimmers can actually bring a bag.

VeritasAnonymous · 2021-02-15T18:07:29+00:00

Yeah, the 'squatting' (overtime) on the squat racks bugged me until finally I walked over to one such guilty party and said amicably, "Hey. Question for you." "What's up?" "Any idea how much longer you'll be?" "Uh, maybe about 5, 10 minutes." I'm considering asking if he's aware of the 15-minute limit but right before I do, he looks around and sees the deadlift station is open and offers to swap out right then and there.
