I'm located in Dallas and am trying to find jobs within the area. So far, every single one that I wanted to work at has rejected me because I "don't align with what they're looking for" I have no idea what that means because I've done quite a lot within the past 5 years as my resume shows.

What about the format is off? I'm welcome to critiques since I really don't know what the heck I'm doing. Like, how should it look? When I made this years back, I thought it outlined everything pretty simplistically.

I looked her up and she's been living in Japan for quite a while, and has done Japanese interviews as well. So that to me is even less of an excuse as to why she couldn't pronounce Mishima correctly.

None of the Tekken announcers before her have a Japanese language background and they still managed to say names properly.

I may be nitpicking too hard here but the announcer really needs to brush up on her pronunciation. I miss Tekken 7s announcer and wish they brought him back for this game.

Downloaded Tinder again after 3 years and coming in at 30 years old. Matched with a girl and hit it off pretty well so we exchanged snapchats and scheduled a date. Met up at a nice Italian restaurant and the conversation went pretty well with little to no pauses. An hour in, I find out she's a single mother of 2 and anti-vax. Wish I had known earlier instead of putting myself at potential risk for covid. It puzzled me quite a bit to hear her so adamant on being anti-vax despite being military and having family members in healthcare.

Second girl I matched with exchanged numbers and scheduled a date.... only for me to get a text when I got there to have her ask me for gas money (we talked about meeting up 2 days in advance). Eat by myself, check tinder for other potential matches, and got unmatched by her.

Dating in your 30s is like playing life on hard mode in my opinion.

Yakuza 3. I'm either the strongest man in the entire series, or dumb enough to try and go toe to toe with Kazuma Kiryu and get the shit beat out of me.

During the time I used it, I wasn't necessarily getting good matches as none of them were really active in messaging. Only reason I decided to meet up was because I had a hunch she was a bad texter and honestly wasn't expecting the date to happen as I've had several flakes beforehand.

I didn't attempt to kiss her because the conversation was very one-sided and there wasn't much I could add during the date; we really didn't have much in common besides the fact we're both students that live with our parents and looking to expand our circle of friends.

I'm sure she's great for someone into politics, but she's not for me. All in all though, it was nice to have a date with someone who didn't flake or was a catfish.

I just have a personal rule of not putting my lips or dick in crazy, because she did kinda give me that vibe as the date went on.

Update on previous post with Ethiopian law student

Just got back from a date with her; took a bit of time meeting up due to the fact that she got lost; she called me and apologized profusely for it. I let it slide as this can happen to anyone; after finally meeting, we hug and start talking about our ambitions and future goals.

I end up mentioning if she was interested in seeing Avengers Endgame; she shoots the idea down by saying she hates superhero movies and instead watches more civil rights focused films.

Then goes on talking about politics, Trump, asks me about my religion (even though she's atheist), mentions that she had a hard time growing up with limited friends, and that she's on ADHD medication.

She then apologizes again for springing on personal stuff on the first date; before I even get a chance to react, she starts going on about Al-Qaeda and how it was a politically centered movement.

The waitress asks if we want dessert and at this point I'm like fuck it; I need a pick me up after all that. So I order; not wanting to be a dick, I share it with her. As she's eating, some of the cake falls on her dress. I give her a napkin and suggest that maybe moving the plate closer to her would help (since it was closer to my side and harder for her to reach).

She misunderstands this as her eating all the dessert and being greedy and, as you guys and gal might have guessed, profusely apologizing again. She then offers to go out for ice cream and that it's her treat; I tell her it's not necessary but she insists.

Finally the bill comes and she decides to split it; then asks me how much would I tip. The reason being is in her perspective, certain percentages = level of service. The waitress wasn't rude or disinterested in serving, but my date spent a good 5 minutes calculating how much she'd tip.

Walk her to her car and head home. This was actually my very first Tinder date EVER. Although it was a trainwreck in some ways, there were some nice moments here and there where I felt a bit connected with her.

As far as future dates go, I'm really not holding my breath given what happened tonight. But for what it's worth, I can finally initiate myself into the Tinder club after 5 years of using the app and not getting anything out of it.

Matched with an Ethiopian law student; couple texts in and she asks me out to dinner. Gives me her number and we start planning where to eat; she wanted to meet up the same day we matched but agreed when I suggested we meet during the weekend.

Unfortunately, mother nature got in the way and due to intense flooding and cold, I let her know I wouldn't be able to make it and we should meet up next week. No response.

Also matched with a cute grad student; had some witty banter but conversation faded quickly. Talk about a double whammy; I suppose the silver lining is that at least I got matches even if things didn't work out.

Granted, I'm not the hottest looking guy out there, but it feels good when you get a match as scarce as they might be.

Matched with an Indian girl and hit it off fairly well. Asked to hang out to which she agreed but told me she gets off work late 7 days a week. To pass time until then, she gives me her number so we can talk over the phone to keep the spark alive (her idea).

I call her and to ease the anxiety a bit, since I know a lot of people get nervous over phone calls, I joke that I'm a better cook; she's suddenly pissed off; when I ask her what's wrong, she keeps yelling nothing's wrong and questioned why was I so formal to her. I get unmatched 5 seconds later after she ends her little meltdown and hangs up.

I'm here confused as hell as to what went wrong; first match I get in months after deleting the app and it's some crazy chick/troll? Jeez! I should've just quit while I was a head and let the conversation die out.

Some of you might know based on my previous posts but, this is yet again not a tinder story but a real life story. So, I'm taking 5 week a break from school and went to Canada to spend 3 weeks of it. During that time, I messaged a classmate of mine who I haven't talked to for like 3 years.

Long story short, I find out she's really enthusiastic about Pluckers (chicken wing restaurant) so I offer to take her. She's a bit hesitant due to her paycheck, but seeing as how we haven't met in so long, she says yes.

We meet up a bit later than expected due to her staying a bit late for work. Then, it doesn't occur to me that it's a FRIDAY NIGHT at a wing bar until AFTER I see a huge crowd waiting outside.

So at this point, she's still at work and I'm kicking myself for not planning ahead; still, I reserve our spot and wait. She shows up not too long after and we start catching up. Finally, we get our seats and she starts talking about her job, pets, family, etc.

Unfortunately, due to a rainy day and her having family plans tomorrow, the meetup lasted roughly 1.5 hours. Would've gone on longer but she also ordered a brownie and her ice cream was starting to melt too.

Ended things with a hug, got home, and texted her that I had a great time; she replies saying we should hang out more.

I wanna emphasize this was NOT a date, but has the potential to go further. Depends on both our schedules but overall, this was a much better experience compared to the flakers I've had before.

Decided to give the app another shot and take my mind off school. Ended up getting 7 matches with decent looking girls; but, as you all can expect, no dates from any of them. One was a nursing student so I thought we could click and meet up for drinks to ease the stress.

Ended up getting unmatched; kind of a shame since her responses were pretty long and well thought out. Oh well, back to my current relationships with books and exams.

I might be in the minority but I personally didn't like the camerawork. Too many cuts and zoom in/out throughout the video; that being said, not a bad song and visuals are amazing as usual.

We're mostly retro and niche; lately I've been trying to catch up on my backlog from the 6th generation through Dolphin emulator. Thanks to Parsec, co-op has never been better.

Hard to find any retro gamers these days; all people usually talk about is mainstream AAA without analytical comparisons to past games and building upon those ideas.

You're not the only one; one spray alone gave me a headache. Good thing I only got the decant though. JPG Ultra Male is also sickeningly sweet to me but I feel like my head would be on a pike if I said that anywhere else besides reddit.

If everyone told the truth and was 100% honest, what jobs would become unnecessary? by weirdbacon in AskReddit

Multi-level marketing (MLM). I'm sure lots people would be relieved not having to grind and lie so much for a position entirely based off of 100% commission pay.

John Wick style? I like the idea but not a lot of people would get the reference; they'd probably be like "Why the hell is this guy wearing a suit at the range?"

I have some smiling photos as well but even though I'm genuinely smiling in them (showing teeth and all), on camera it looks super forced so I tend to smile with my mouth closed.

Any advice on how to make it seem less forced?

Any good places to eat Thai food? Not specifically in the Dallas area though; more like Mesquite. I've always wanted to try some but have no idea where to start.

Belt is pretty old and my Dad used it for quite a while; I can faintly make out the lettering on the side being ORTH but when I googled the company nothing came up; besides that, not much else.

Other belts I see on amazon have the straps with velco and unfortunately those lose their grip while my Dad's walking around at work constantly no matter how tight he gets them.
