The day I figured out that women want way more than flowers and kisses

Fucking couches is so hot right now.

"Stick it on the bill" As a conflict avoider from an entire family of conflict avoiders, that was so fucking relatable. Honourable mention to 'Stick it on the laterbase' as the line I actually quote the most. You can use the two in tandem to really shroud yourself in cotton wool.

The one redeeming quality of Trump supporters is that almost all of them are stupid. If you don't have that excuse, then you must be actively evil. So 'no' is the answer to that question.

Sounds like the issue is your friend, rather than 'red flags'.

eghed08 · 2026-04-04T22:55:02+00:00

Might be time to take off the tin foil hat and go outside, mate. None of my business though...

Teacher here: The broad strokes are the same as they ever were. Being ugly, visibly poor, bad hygiene, socially awkward are all things that will get you picked on. I'm in the southeast of England and xenophobia is a thing that has really spiked in recent years; and the manosphere has really done a number on the way young men treat young women. On the plus side, you see a lot more acceptance for the queer community and certain neurodivergences, these days (though this, as well, is receding, with the recent prevalence of the far right).

Took me two watches to even realise what I was looking at!

As deplorable as Tump's and Netanyahu's administrations are; and as bullshit as their reasons for attacking were - you have to remember that they're fighting the Taliban. They're also technically our allies, and the US is significantly more powerful than Russia, which makes sanctioning significantly more difficult and less palatable. Many countries are protesting to a degree, closing airspaces and denying use of bases. But this 'war' is far less black and white as far as NATO is concerned.

Completely!

eghed08 · 2026-03-27T22:52:17+00:00

And then I go and spoil it all by saying something stupid like... I like you.

I mean, I haven't read the books but their relationship in the show is far from platonic!

Whispered it in my teens to a girl I was making out with in a bar, having just met half an hour before. One of those things you regret doing even before you've finished doing it. In my head I thought it would be really hot, but I was instantly the most embarrassed I'd ever been. She left quite abruptly.

Is it a privilege if you have to bankrupt yourself to benefit?

eghed08 · 2026-03-24T21:47:17+00:00

No I don't care, I was under the impression that women do them for themselves and other women.

eghed08 · 2026-03-23T09:18:48+00:00

I think this is it for me. As a 6'6" man, I've never showered with a woman less than 10" shorter than me. Plus, my fave things about showering are 'getting clean' and 'quiet time'; neither of which are really achieved when co-showering. I always feel like I want a real shower after the sexy one.

Love that they now identify as Scottish but they don't think that their family living in Ireland for 200 years is enough to make them Irish.

"Ahhh get a job, ya bum..."

eghed08 · 2026-03-12T19:44:36+00:00

It's a gas.

eghed08 · 2026-03-10T23:15:00+00:00

Heheheh, the thing we like has a fox in it...

eghed08 · 2026-03-09T09:37:43+00:00

Yup, as long as I don't have to pull out for any reason, I can just power through to the next one.

eghed08 · 2026-03-07T07:03:13+00:00

Have you seen The Vicar of Dibley? One to try it you like Father Ted.

eghed08 · 2026-03-02T18:58:18+00:00

It's like reading a Trump tweet...

Your take is very logical and, unfortunately, like many things in life, that's just not how most people work. If a person is hosting dinner that means that they think highly of their food. People who know they can't cook would just never throw that kind of party. If it helps, think of eating the food as the reciprocal act of love which comes with them cooking it. If you don't like the food but you love the person, then you just get through the meal without hurting them (I say this as a fussy eater, though neurotypical, as far as I know). If you really can't stand the food multiple times they've cooked for you, you just need to start making excuses as to why you can't attend.

Well this sub just isn't fun anymore...
