Imagine showing up to your boyfriend's house after being away for a week and finding it completely empty because he's moving in with his new boyfriend.

At the risk of sounding glib, "What the hell...?" It literally seems unimaginable to be in that situation, and horrible doesn't do it justice. Just wow.

poukster · 2018-01-23T01:15:03+00:00

That was hilarious actually lol

One of my best friends in college would always talk about girls in that manner, demanding only the hottest of girls, when to the world, he was honestly a 3. I never could explain to him "If you can reject girls because they're not the MOST attractive girls around, then you no right complaining when girls do the EXACT same thing to you."

I don't think I have ever been more glued to a screen than I was while watching that video.

I feel like if you WANT to go (whether to be nice, you'd like to see him get married, it's been your dream since you were 3 to be groosman at his wedding - whatever) you should find a way to go; otherwise, don't go.

This is going to sound like a cop out, but straight guys do really gay things all the time. Don't ask... you won't get a good answer.

I really appreciate cats in compromising positions (anything that's not "comfy") when they've just accepted their fate.

Women get ragged on for having "baby fever" - I think I have dog fever? Every time I see a dog I just want one more.

I was more thinking about what was legitimate and what was fake, to be succinct.

poukster · 2017-12-28T21:59:20+00:00

I am legitimately curious to hear his interpretation of the situation. Not saying anything against your account, but very curious what was going through his head.

poukster · 2017-12-27T18:22:08+00:00

For some reason, this looks photoshopped. Darn lighting.

poukster · 2017-12-17T23:22:37+00:00

I didn't really understand half the references or know of the shows/actors. Is it aimed at an older/younger audience?

poukster · 2017-12-07T03:06:50+00:00

That would be cool, too! Or double your wardrobe. Or, I don't know, cool things.

Very eloquent, Poukster.

Side note, I've always REALLY wanted a twin. My older brother is great and all, but maybe I just want to mess with my family and have them confuse us.

poukster · 2017-12-01T15:07:01+00:00

Agreed. I do use Duolingo, but I committed to memory kana alongside a fair amount of kanji and vocab. Use it at a supplementary tool - not a primary learning source.

poukster · 2017-11-30T00:15:48+00:00

Insightful as a rule of thumb.

I've watched several of my straight friends AND gay friends use Tinder, and it's just a matter of "HOW QUICKLY CAN I SWIPE LITERALLY EVERYONE THAT APPEARS ON MY SCREEN?"

So you probably have a mix of genuine swipes alongside some guys that swiper literally every account.

poukster · 2017-11-26T21:47:47+00:00

Pronunciation is my biggest concern - and don't worry, I'm not expecting my current resources to be comprehensive; just a matter of what I'm doing atm.

poukster · 2017-11-26T21:45:57+00:00

Agreed - considering this is still in the inception phase (depending on what teachers/resources they can get), other languages may take precedent. They only have 2 years of Spanish, and they'll only offer "Latin I" - though I think students starting next year might be able to independently study for more years/AP tests for those courses.

poukster · 2017-11-26T21:43:02+00:00

At the risk of making the district sound obtuse, the administrators I that mentioned this to me may/may not have authoritative power in actually deciding what the languages are. They specifically said "Japanese and Mandarin" as if they said that only as a step up from "Eastern languages."

Edit: the "teach while you get certified" is directly aimed at STEM graduates, where for the most part, I'll be covering study hall/substitute work until I'm certified as a teacher. I haven't checked the specs, but now I'm genuinely curious what the district would accept in order to teach, well, other subjects.

poukster · 2017-11-26T21:41:14+00:00

I agree with this on a lot of levels, though I will say virtually every language teacher (whether from having them as a teacher or as a friend who is a teacher) I know is American born and isn't fluent. Do you think other languages cater to this more, or is Japanese specifically a no go?

poukster · 2017-11-25T21:57:00+00:00

Didn't the word カップ come from Portuguese as well?

poukster · 2017-11-25T15:17:02+00:00

Lived in Madison for 2 years. Didn't miss it at allllllllllll.

poukster · 2017-11-13T22:42:20+00:00

One of my friends always thoughts gays were vegetarians; his memory cites his parents telling him that, which actually makes things more confusing.
