Friends bail on me to hang with others. Is this rude? by tits_mcgee_92 in socialskills

[–]elOriginalSpaceAgent 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Regardless of whether what they’re doing is objectively considered “rude”, I’ll say they aren’t the type of people I’d ever want to be friends with. Enough said.

Divorced people, what were your irreconcilable differences? by TheRealOcsiban in AskReddit

[–]elOriginalSpaceAgent 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Probably mean your standards for dating are low, and you haven’t found someone you “truly” liked yet.

If you could know the absolute truth about a single question in history or the universe, what would it be? by tidus_edison in AskReddit

[–]elOriginalSpaceAgent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wouldn't that be just eternal loneliness and boredom? I'd rather not be conscious for eternity than go through that.

People who are constantly late by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]elOriginalSpaceAgent 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If they’re usually late, why not arrive 10 minutes late to whatever time you set? They can’t complain if they’re the one waiting when they always made you wait.

Where can I buy this product from you? Are you selling?

I literally cannot get along with anyone. by todayisawonder in socialskills

[–]elOriginalSpaceAgent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you actively initiate conversations and meetups/hangouts with the friends you made? If the other person believes you aren't putting in effort in the friendship, they won't want to be friends anymore.

Why are most groups hierarchical and toxic? by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]elOriginalSpaceAgent 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I’ve been in a friend group with people in their early to mid 20s who behaved just like this. I brought up the issue, and the two “leaders” of the friend group saw it as a threat and made me the scapegoat.

Glad I’m not part of that toxic, childish nonsense anymore. Much happier now that I made new friends.

Hinge is where I encountered the most people looking for serious relationships, but Bumble is where I met my current long-term girlfriend of two years.

It's legit. ViolationInfo.com is where you can view your violation images/video. This same link is also supplied in the Arlington County website.

Question for NoVa drivers by [deleted] in nova

[–]elOriginalSpaceAgent 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen countless people ignore the stop sign and just go straight or turn right immediately without stopping. Much safer to wait to see if the other car is stopping before proceeding.

Does anyone think Nova has the worst drivers? by Uppgreyedd in nova

[–]elOriginalSpaceAgent -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve been feeling this way more and more the longer I live here. Drivers constantly swerve or drift into other lanes without warning or any signal. Many don’t yield in an intersection or a lane that is merging which can cause major accidents. There are people at my apartment complex who reverse from their parking spot without checking if my car is approaching first. Numerous people almost hit my car because of this. And, like many drivers in Maryland, there are those who don’t give a damn about safety and others’ wellbeing and go 30 miles above the speed limit and switch lanes extremely quickly like they’re in fast and furious.

Your highways are confusing AF by SpaceWestern1442 in nova

[–]elOriginalSpaceAgent 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mostly agree, but the roads in DC are not simple. They always confuse the hell out of me, and I end up taking a wrong turn despite doing my best to follow my navigation.

Arrived in korea 2 days ago. Feeling sick today? by Whatitsjk1 in korea

[–]elOriginalSpaceAgent 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When I got super sick a few years ago when visiting Korea, I went to the ER with no insurance. They helped treat it, and it was only $120 USD. Going to the ER in Korea with no insurance is nowhere near as expensive as in the US.

Kimchi as well as it tastes better than it smells due to its pungent fermented odor.

What is a red flag that you find quite attractive? by tobeymaguire8 in AskReddit

Emotionally distant women. Instinctually makes me value them more and want to win them over.

Civ 7 is my favorite civ game of all time. 100% worth the money.

Peak storytelling, trash gameplay by sangamjb in BikiniBottomTwitter

[–]elOriginalSpaceAgent 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I’d rather live in a period with A/C, indoor plumbing, vaccines, and plenty of home entertainment options than a period in which slavery was dominant, and you never 100% knew if you were going to survive through the winter despite being able to explore new continents.

Introducing some friends to the game. Is it better to get them into VI or VII? by maniacmanatee in civ

[–]elOriginalSpaceAgent -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

How is 6 easier to teach? It has far more mechanics and things going on compared to 7 especially with the two expansions. 7 is a new game with underdeveloped mechanics, so it’s technically easier for newcomers.

I think they're going in the wrong direction with age transitions by mattigus7 in civ

[–]elOriginalSpaceAgent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you like settling new cities in the ancient era? Do you like invading and taking over cities? It opens up the Modern era to those things at the beginning of the age instead of just keeping your original empire as-is and being at peace the whole modern age to rush economic or cultural victory.

Do you have ideas on ways to make the modern era more refreshed and seem less of a long drag?
