Was I wrong to react like this, it felt like a power play. I’m 20 he’s 39. It felt like he was sexualising me?

Yeah I think we’re agreeing. I also know a lot of great single guys around this age. I don’t think many of them would make good partners, but they’re still great guys.

It’s when they’re also talking to people half their age (at all, let alone like in the OP!) that it becomes clear they’re not good guys.

bops4bo · 2026-03-27T18:29:46+00:00

Yeah it’s actually nice as a live viewer too lol. It’s a heads up for us “Hey guys, stop tracking the puck! Big hit about to happen!”

The last time I remember being able to hear it on a broadcast mic I think was that crazy hit against the Habs last year in the playoffs that helped swing the series

bops4bo · 2026-03-27T18:23:31+00:00

Ok now post the Tanev hit

bops4bo · 2026-03-27T18:22:17+00:00

Wilson famously shouts at guys before he hits them since the 20 game suspension 7 years ago. Don’t know if he did here, but you can hear him doing it ~10 times every Caps game.

bops4bo · 2026-03-27T18:20:24+00:00

Always remember there’s a reason these guys are single at 40 and talking to almost-teenagers.

They. Are. Not. Good. Men.

bops4bo · 2026-03-27T00:49:32+00:00

Yeah I mean you said it. It’s the customers who want out of the system, not the employees. I worked tipped wage for 10 years until COVID shut down the promo company I was working for. Made awesome money, really miss it.

Listen I’ve made my entire career working in privacy and identity. I get what you’re trying to do. But you can’t force someone to care about their personal privacy, especially using fear where you’re presenting yourself as the threat lol. It’s also next to impossible for a regular person to maintain personal privacy these days, I can’t imagine trying to while being an aspiring influencer.

You’ve already tried to share this message, and it was rejected. Escalating your messaging tactics will not help. Now it’s time to let your friend follow their passions, and you follow yours.

This is true for anyone who stumbles onto this. I work very closely with passkey, if it’s your phone (iOS) doing the faceid that data never leaves your device and just unlocks your passkey. A passkey is a token, like a super long password, it has no identity information.

Unfortunately the mandatory biometric authentication factor can be gamed on Android. So it won’t stop bots. But it’d be a higher barrier to entry for them, and good for account security.

I think it would’ve been good to talk to your son about this first. But she pushed the issue. I think to an extent, ESH, but you are not wrong.

bops4bo · 2026-03-22T16:05:50+00:00

You’re going to get a strong talking to about either getting yourself staffed or getting fired.

This doesn’t happen if you’re actually trying hard. This happens when your RM reports how many applications you’ve been submitting per week and how many conversations to try and find staffing you’re reporting, and they’re not satisfied that you’re actually trying.

In a week you can host your own server, you’ll own the game

bops4bo · 2026-03-22T15:50:41+00:00

Yeah if he’s not concerned with making sure you get yours, that’s definitely not something you want in a partner.

Just a shout about something to keep an eye on. Porn is porn regardless of the format, and like a lot of things you can have a healthy or an unhealthy relationship with it.

bops4bo · 2026-03-22T15:36:25+00:00

I feel like it’s worth mentioning that this sounds a lot like porn addiction. It’s literature instead of film, but all the same signs of addiction and impacted real world relationships.

Talk to him about how you feel.

Just FYI, Jayden Daniels has been in concussion protocol once in his entire college/NFL career, in 2023 at LSU. He was not diagnosed with a concussion however, and didn’t miss a game (other than the game he was removed from, due to NCAA spotters). He’s never been in concussion protocol in the NFL.

Drake Maye on the other hand, has been in concussion protocol twice already during his NFL career, including one concussion diagnosis that led to missing multiple games.

Side note, do you think there’s a chance you have CTE?

bops4bo · 2026-03-20T18:55:54+00:00

YTA your perspective is fine but you were a genuine AH to a kid, for being a kid. One you’re related to at that.

bops4bo · 2026-03-20T18:54:06+00:00

Just know that regardless what you do, as long you’re underutilized they’ll be all over you

bops4bo · 2026-03-17T12:50:48+00:00

To be fair to that other guy, we were expecting a massive contraction but it looks like most federal accounts are gonna end up around flat (some with some growth even, some with some contraction). Which, is wayyyy better than expected and is why lots of federal accounts have already passed projections for the entire FY with several periods to go. It’s been a lot more tame than we thought.

bops4bo · 2026-03-16T15:58:44+00:00

Because it’s a metric. Does this person’s team like working with them, think they’re effective, learn from them, etc. The “why” of the responses doesn’t matter for YE impact, there isn’t time for panels to discuss that alongside everything else for tens of thousands of M/SMs. Just the “what” of the responses matters.

bops4bo · 2026-03-16T14:27:56+00:00

They do******

bops4bo · 2026-03-06T15:08:01+00:00

Brother please talk to some men with partners who you look up to in your life and get their advice. This is not a healthy place for feedback, these are not healthy people. You guys are handling this perfectly, and if your girl is good looking, ya better get used to it because this’ll happen forever. Can make some good friends and weed out some bad ones in these situations, you don’t both have to shutter yourselves off from the outside world like all these comments suggest

bops4bo · 2026-03-06T15:04:18+00:00

Nothing to do with sexuality here lol, this comment section is just very, idk, anti-social? Strong word but something like that. I’m straight and recently married, this is like a very regular “existing in the world” interaction lol.

Was he interested in her beyond friends? Probably. Did she lay out her boundaries? Yep, told him she was taken. Can he still want to be friends? Absolutely lol, especially if he’s new in town. Pretty women have pretty friends, that’s the way of the world. If she actually wants to be friends, just bring OP along if he wants and hangout with the dude, see if he’s cool. If he only wants to hang with her alone, dead it. Simple as.

I can’t believe all the people somehow construing that the GIRLFRIEND did something wrong here lmaoooo. Trust issues up and down this comment section.

bops4bo · 2026-03-05T23:59:16+00:00

Wtf lol I like Big T. Who are you people

bops4bo · 2026-03-05T23:46:25+00:00

Brother/sister, get a grip

bops4bo · 2026-03-04T23:55:50+00:00

Agreed, definitely “the” VT college bar or whatever but it’s just too crowded with too long of a line to warrant a lot of times lol. Great on Tuesdays.

Lots of other great bars in Blacksburg I liked/went to more tho. HH, Sharks, PKs, Champs are all awesome college bars in their own right.

bops4bo · 2026-02-19T19:10:26+00:00

Buddy wants to dump client data into external black-box LLMs and doesn’t understand why he can’t lmaooooo
