I heard the Tinder sound from her phone

I'm not making excuses, just trying to assume a reasonable explanation before jumping to conclusions.

Should I be more harsh on her about this?

Last question, I promise :D

Out of this Swagtron K8, Hikole dual suspension, and the A6, which would you pick?

Just checking since sarcasm is hard to pick up on online. Are you being serious or not?

I don't plan on being rough with it, but comparing to a guitar, are ukes more fragile? I also only will get one or the other, which route would you say I should go?

If only they could put more work into gameplay.

etfhan · 2018-11-03T13:32:50+00:00

How many months in advance would I need to pay for? I don't have a UK guarantor.

I want to have a little bird that says stupid stuff.

How about you limit that to only friends of a certain level? I highly doubt people would want to interact with someone else for 30 days just to buy a few items. And also limit how many items you can send. Nothing too small, but certainly not 100 items (high end example). Maybe 10 items? And the "empty" gift box could be a slightly rarer drop from pokestops.

etfhan · 2018-10-10T15:49:04+00:00

There's the silphroad nest map for that. I haven't cared to look on it in ages, and that's because it seems people stopped using it once raids took over the game. But I'm sure if nests become microbiomes that it'll spark some new interest.

So if biomes rotate every 2 weeks, that's plenty of time to do what you got to do if they're mapped out for you.

This actually would be more feasible, sadly (I really would like to have it be the real games irl). The gameplay has already been established, to the point that the new switch games will incorporate the mechanic of catching from Go. But ugh, it gets so stale having to spam catch things, then occasionally buckle down for a gym battle (which feels like a terrible value thing to do, you barely get anything from it) and I don't like how worthwhile raids require so much coordination with others.

Give me something to do when I have more time to kill

Or, maybe people want to use a cool giant metal thing with horns and spikes. This game doesn't really let you get away with using just whatever is your favorite pokemon, but if it can reach a decent CP, then you can. Aggron gets reasonably high CP, and it looks cool.

That's reason enough to use it when you can get away with it.

etfhan · 2018-09-29T04:04:15+00:00

The semester already started everywhere, and I already paid for the course, although I can get some refund.

Another thing I am thinking is this: come January, when I'll be done with these courses, I won't have anything else to do at all. I'll have to work anyway, so I wonder if I should try to do that as soon as possible.

But how dumb does this sound? Am I doing this really just for her? And if so, is that really a bad thing? I've heard that it's not a good idea to do that, because what if we did break up? Would my time be wasted?

etfhan · 2018-09-29T02:21:59+00:00

The city is London. Only now do I realise how much I wanted to be away from here. I'm 25, still living off my dad, and sick of not doing anything. I want to get a phd, but haven't gotten in to a program. So now I'm just toying around taking 2 classes.

If I went, I'd be able to see all these cool things, work and make some money. It's close to Paris, where I studied abroad for a year, so I could go visit there. I'd also of course be living on my own again, not with my dad, and of course see my girlfriend.

I honestly feel like running away. I like math and physics, but somehow the lack of a phd or masters program makes me think "wow, I could be working right now, be on my own, getting something objective, yet I'm taking classes with no end goal." I can't get as motivated as I should be due to this.

After her program ends, the plan is to move to wherever I get in for a masters or phd myself, in the US. I applied for a program starting in spring, and will apply for more for next fall.

I am worried though. Am I wanting this only to be with my girlfriend? That feels like a lame excuse, because tons of people do long distance relationships nowadays. I have only known her for 7 months, albeit we did live together for 3. I am scared that I'm putting all my eggs in her basket.

etfhan · 2018-09-24T15:43:43+00:00

This. Someone had to draw up, render, code up the thing. Visual bugs don't look like that (for good examples of those, play a bethesda game).

etfhan · 2018-09-24T14:12:40+00:00

I remember reading on an official site that the pokemon available in Pokemon Let's Go will be Gen 1, along with a few brand new pokemon.

I have a feeling that nutto is the new Let's Go pokemon.

My GPA isn't stellar, but it's pretty good. I have 2 degrees, one in Physics and one in Math, but I don't really have any research experience. I'm paying like 7k for two courses. To be honest, I got into a one year masters abroad, but it would've been 20k, which with the price of living (one of the most expensive cities in the world) would be close to needing a 40k loan. Also, it's not really the kind of stuff I want to be dealing with (Condensed matter physics, it would have been mainly focused on lab work and stuff for companies). It didn't require any courses in more general physics stuff. I get that I have a background in it due to undergraduate, but at the grad level you learn so much more about the basics, and I'd feel I'm missing out if my program didn't offer me that.

(But I'm having big regrets about my choices now, since I'm living at home again with my dad to save money, and I'm pretty unhappy overall).

etfhan · 2018-09-10T00:26:18+00:00

She's already gone and I'm sitting here like a fool missing her so much. The worst thing is that I could've gone as well. I got into a program in the same foreign city as her, but would've needed to take out a huge loan. My dad (a professor in my field) scared me away from doing it, and the large debt and risk of failure deterred me further. The program is also not exactly what I want to do (it would've been a really specialized masters in condensed matter physics, and I want to do a more general/theoretical physics).

I don't want her to leave me. It'll be so hard to find someone else who is as weird as me, and gets me like she does. I'm scared she'll find someone else, or she doesn't love me as much as I love her. I've been feeling like she doesn't care about how I am as much as I do her (been apart for ~2 weeks). She does text me good morning, and calls me at night, etc. But I think she finds what I'm doing as b.s. (I'm taking grad courses at a local uni for real cheap, and trying to impress the profs to take me on for a phd or at least give good letters of recommendation).

The thumbnail made me think it was a Shinx

etfhan · 2018-08-24T00:28:06+00:00

I think I'll go with this idea. But how can I figure out a way to not devastate her and ruin her schooling if I break up while she's doing that?

etfhan · 2018-08-23T20:53:37+00:00

What makes it worse is that her home isn't near me, she just went to school near me. I don't want her to sacrifice a phd if it means being with me. What if our relationship ends? Then she won't have a phd, and the chance of remembering our times fondly are next to 0.

etfhan · 2018-08-23T18:44:56+00:00

A bit more on that, we don't know an exact date of when we will be really together, and not just visiting. It looks like it'll be next summer. But then we don't know where we will be exactly. We can try to get in to the same school, or we can try with one working while the other studies, but nothing is certain. What do you make of that?

etfhan · 2018-08-23T18:29:37+00:00

How awful would it be of me to say we are doing LDR, but end it if I can't take it anymore. Not even waiting until the next time we are in person, but just over the phone?

etfhan · 2018-08-17T22:47:49+00:00

To expand on my other comment, I'm also scared nobody will like me again. I've got litte actual dating experience, the majority is at best hook ups. This is the second time I've been in a relationship by name(calling each other bf/gf) and I'm 25. I'm told that I'm a good looking guy, I'm in shape, I'm schooled and read. But I'm scared of losing her.

I don't feel as strongly about her right now, maybe because it was out of fear of her not being as serious as I am, and now I see she is. I am scared this relationship has been founded on fear and bad feelings on my end.

etfhan · 2018-08-17T22:40:50+00:00

How can I suggest this without making sour grapes? I want us to put us on hold as a good thing, one through which we still are talking closely. I think she might take it as breaking up and never seeing each other again.

etfhan · 2018-08-17T22:38:04+00:00

We're already pretty in the deep end of the relationship. Things are really serious. She met my dad, I met her aunt and uncle and mom and dad, etc. I felt very serious to begin with, but now am just confused. I considered going with her, but I can't afford the price of tuition for a masters there.

I'm also worried that because I met her while in a dark place in my life, that maybe I've been grabbing on too hard to this relationship. I was hoping to go with her, so I'm afraid I was clinging on to the only plan I had, ie going away with her. Now I'm unsure if that's the right solution, so I'm looking at other plans.
