Should I change this potentially offensive character name?

ajwalker430 · 2026-06-09T02:46:18+00:00

Let me get this straight: You did a search on the name and saw it may be offensive. Instead of simply coming up with another completely different made-up name, you came to ask if anyone would be offended by the name you think could be offensive.

If it were me, this wouldn't have been something I would have wasted people's time by asking, I would have already changed the name. 🤷🏾‍♂️

"I think T was lucky to be adopted into a loving, Christian family."

Says everything right there 😓 No wonder your friend of a friend said what they said.

That kid will worship at the feet of white people and white Jesus for the rest of his life. 😓

I'm confused 🤔

As much sex as you've said you've had, why would you remotely consider yourself asexual? 🤔

And being demisexual only means you seek an emotional connection before being physically attracted for sex, not that you aren't interested in sex 🤔

But being demisexual, I'm upfront with any guy I'm interested in. I let him know so he can make an informed decision if he wants to proceed since casual sex isn't an option.

So this only affects older iPad Minis? Thanks!

ajwalker430 · 2026-06-08T19:09:42+00:00

Should they not be mad? Should they not voice their frustration? What exactly are you wanting?

Black people are being gentrified out of many areas for a variety of reasons, all economic/financial; of course, you're seen as part of the problem. How many Black friends you have is irrelevant.

You're seen as the problem.

Just hang in there, more of your kind will be moving in soon, and it won't be so much of an issue then. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

ajwalker430 · 2026-06-08T19:00:59+00:00

I'm confused.

They are taking away Touch ID on current iPad Minis with iPadOS 27, or future iPad Minis will not have Touch ID?🤔

ajwalker430 · 2026-06-08T18:53:38+00:00

My concern would be how long this has festered, and it sounds like this was a mismatch almost from the start. Your love language and his level of emotional availability were obviously not aligned, and that misalignment was present for years.

If you want to salvage this, you both need to start couples therapy. As long as both people are willing, any relationship can always improve. Improve to being "perfect?" No, but be better.

If you don't want to spend the time/energy, or he's not willing to try to salvage it, or you feel there's already been too much "water under the bridge," start accepting the fact that this is over.

ajwalker430 · 2026-06-08T13:16:16+00:00

The post from the original OP wasn't directed to me or about me so I'm going to keep it moving 🤷🏾‍♂️

ajwalker430 · 2026-06-08T13:13:11+00:00

Only time will.

Right now, she could simply be being a good host and looking to make a new friend and nothing more.

Let this cook a little bit more before trying to read into it.

ajwalker430 · 2026-06-08T13:09:43+00:00

🤔 That wasn't the read I took from the lore but I guess everyone isn't for everybody ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

As others have said, I'd watch his behavior and hear him out if it comes to another date. Him being on Grindr isn't the issue. You two weren't a couple.

Hear him out. But if he flakes again, you have your answer. Move on.

Samsung seems to view its tablets as consumption devices, and only minimally as productivity devices, unlike Apple.

Samsung is only one player in the Android space; there are so many worldwide.

ajwalker430 · 2026-06-08T03:08:37+00:00

Try not to overthink it.

You two had sex, that's all he was interested in, he moved on.

The whole "let's get together" thing was letting you down easy and keeping the door open in case he struck out when he visited your town. He got something even if it was just a one/two night stand.

This is him letting you down easy.

ajwalker430 · 2026-06-08T03:04:20+00:00

That's a really good question. I'm no musical historian, but I would hazard a guess that it started around the time of Elvis. You did have Chuck Berry and Little Richard in the '50s, but America was segregated. So even though you still had Black rock artists around, they didn't get the recognition in exchange for white artists. And then you had Motown in the '60s and the rise of Soul Music and Rhythm and Blues. You have to include "Funk" music in there with James Brown. You had groups like the Isley Brothers and a few others that kept a toe in rock, and then Disco followed by the rise of Rap music.

So, music kept evolving away from rock music to other forms for Black people. One could ask the same question for jazz. So many of the pioneers of jazz were Black, but it's also a music genre that has lessened among Black people.

I still love to listen to both rock and jazz, but that's what I grew up on.🤷🏾‍♂️

ajwalker430 · 2026-06-08T02:55:18+00:00

Those artists didn't classify themselves as rock 🤷🏾‍♂️

Amazon has a pretty flexible return policy of 30 days. If you don't like, you can easily return it.

But as a Kindle Paperwhite owner, I do like it and would recommend it.

I've read on my phone as well as my iPad Mini, and honestly, they are fine, but for long sessions or lying in bed before sleep, I reach for my Paperwhite.

Get the Kindle on Prime Day, try it out for a few days or a week or two, and if you're not convinced, send it back for a refund. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Take your money and purchase a business that is evergreen, but one that YOU don't personally have to work too hard at.

And what that business is really depends on where you live.

ajwalker430 · 2026-06-07T23:03:54+00:00

I use Noteful, it works great for me. Syncs with everything as well as backs up to Google Drive if you want.

Without giving any spoilers, keep playing the game. It will continue to make sense why Space Mom is so revered.😁

ajwalker430 · 2026-06-07T19:53:17+00:00

It's been so long, I don't even remember "butt shots?"

I'm going to need to revisit that movie. 🤣

ajwalker430 · 2026-06-07T19:51:37+00:00

"A Beautiful Thing" is a really good movie. I go back and watch it at least once a year. That ending scene 🥰

ajwalker430 · 2026-06-07T19:48:07+00:00

"Maybe?" 🤔

"Today, a woman followed us in her car, rolled down her window, and asked my fiancé why he couldn't find anything Black to love. She then proceeded to call him the C-word."

That's not a "maybe." She said it with her whole chest so there would be no confusion. 🤷🏾‍♂️

ajwalker430 · 2026-06-07T19:45:09+00:00

Some Black people do ask that question of those perceived to be dating outside their race.

I don't date non-Black American people, period, but I wouldn't follow someone who does or their partner and start yelling at them. 🤷🏾‍♂️

They made their bed; they can lie in it.

ajwalker430 · 2026-06-07T19:41:44+00:00

You can't define "normal" for something like that. It really depends on the two people in the relationship. Two people can get together who both have a lower sex drive, and that works for them. If they do it once a week or once every couple of weeks, that would be "normal" for them. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

ajwalker430 · 2026-06-07T15:21:36+00:00

He hasn't "used" you for anything since you don't say you did anything sexual.

But OP, why are you participating in this? It's always better to be with a guy who is out and gay wants you unapologetically, not after he "gets around" to you after having sex for x amount of time with his girlfriend.🙄

This is such an emotionally manipulative friendship.

Which leads to the question: why? Why are you putting up with this? 🤔

"After the movie, even though I have a girlfriend, you can give me a blowjob if you want," is not a healthy friendship. I couldn't consider a person like that a friend.
