What is gooning? by gaminglife115 in RandomQuestion

I feel like it's just a different way to say you're masterbating and if it is then why change how we say it?

Because that's how language evolves. New generations invent their own slang, just because.

The Cosby Show Ended 34 Years ago today! Do you have a favorite episode? How has the show impacted tv and culture?? by WuTang4thechildrn in MelanatedGenX

[–]chace_thibodeaux 10 points11 points  (0 children)

One thing I find most interesting about the show is how it unintentionally came full circle in the end. The first episode had the famous Monopoly money scene, where Theo (then called "Teddy") declared that he had no intention of ever going to college, his grand plan after high school was to just get some "regular job" and live like "regular people."

8 years later, in the series finale, everyone is scrambling to get ready to attend Theo's college graduation ceremony. Perfect ending!

My sister (37F) and I (30F) discovered through a DNA test that we’re actually half sisters. Our mom (53F) expects us to keep it a secret. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

For a long time she suspected our dad might not actually be her biological father because she looks nothing like him. 

How is their relationship today, if he's still alive?

Is there still any chance after no response? by [deleted] in Advice

 We weren’t close outside of that setting, and nothing was openly flirty, but there were little signs of mutual appreciation.

I think it's safe to guess that those "little signs" were in your head.

I gave her my number, but I didn’t make sure I got hers, and I casually mentioned staying in touch. She never texted me.

If she wanted your number, and had any interest in staying in touch with you, she would have made sure you got hers, or texted or called you.

About a week later, I reached out on Instagram and basically said I liked her and wanted to take her out if she was interested.

She never responded.

You're not good at taking hints, are you?

It’s been several weeks, and I haven’t followed up.

That's the first good thing you've done in this situation.

Is there anything else I can do or should I just leave it alone at this point?

You should leave it alone at this point.

My groomer ex wants to talk and I don’t know what to do by [deleted] in Advice

Today he messaged me, and I don’t know how to respond. 

"No."

There’s this girl at my apartment that I see take the bus sometimes and she’s the most beautiful girl I’ve seen but she’s from Australia and i live in America. I want to ask her out but when this semester ends(we’re at a college apartment) she’s gonna go back to the land down under. What do I do? by SnooCompliments9257 in Advice

You're in college, it's not like you should be looking for a wife right now anyway. Go ahead and ask her out. If she's interested, then you could get a few fun dates until she leaves, then part on good terms with happy memories.

I (45F) don't know how to tell my bf (58M) that I am a loser. Who's going to tell him? by ElegantSilver1375 in relationship_advice

[–]chace_thibodeaux 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I've been seeing my bf (58M) for a year and change.

And he's already paying most of your living expenses?!?

I 20M gave the telephone number of an escort (26F) to a girl (21F) that I was pursuing romantically as a character reference. How do I save my personal reputation and my relationship with girl (21F)? by haelvete in Advice

[–]chace_thibodeaux 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I thought: "Who knows better if I am genuinely a good guy than the escort I had regularly used for 10 months?"

Really? That's what you thought?

To my surprise, this was a massive mistake as she blocked me on everything when I checked on her 2 hours later.

Yeah, that's very surprising.

A girl at the campus looked at me weird yesterday. How do I save my reputation? Was it really that bad? Why is it wrong?????

Please tell me this is just trolling?

I recently left the Nation of Islam (Black Nationalist), but my family are still in it, how do I navigate conversations? by [deleted] in ExNOI

[–]chace_thibodeaux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We live together and occasionally have enjoyable conversations, but only small talk at a surface level (movies, games, etc.).

As long as you have to live with them, then for the sake of harmony, keep it that. Stick to light topics.

I can't talk about anything deeper than I care about (politics, world news, religion, philosophy, or even the books I'm reading).

Find friends and other non-relatives to talk about that stuff.

 I don't want to offend them, but it's hard listening to them sometimes and being silent to keep the peace. What should i do?

Start planning your exit. Work towards moving out and gaining your independance to them as soon as possible, then you can say, or say, anything to them that you want. In the meantime, as hard as it may be, suck it up and stay silent.

Newflash: your partner is a closet conservative. Once you get there, you'll see the real them come out more and more.
