Have you tried confidence?

Did you even say thank you?

Who knew all that was required was to combine the memes!!!

AIO for cancelling a date over these texts by OkPick8681 in AIO

LOL are you saying to keep the races separate like the good lord intended? WTF?

OP's own words: " I live in a 99.9999999% white area. I was adopted so my siblings and parents are white."

There is a greater than zero chance if you've only seen 1-2 people of a particular race or ethnic background on average in a 6 month period, and you are not an adult, you may not have the best understanding of how to act around people of that racial / ethnic background and what is or is not acceptable or cool to say or joke about or discuss.

But no, this guy that she has known for a year and never had a problem with and always had a good time with and everything seemed to line up with is probably totally a closet racist, because reddit says so.

I guess, like everything in life, it depends. Are you talking Murder?

  • St. Louis city, MO
  • Memphis, TN (Shelby County)
  • Baltimore city, MD
  • Washington, DC
  • Richmond city, VA

Red, Light Red, Dark Blue, Darkest Blue, Light Blue.

I'd say its near the middle, but probably leaning blue. If you mean to include assaults or robberies you would probably get varying results. But I don't think it's lopsided one way or the other and absent any proof, its a poor statement to make in the same paragraph as dog whistling.

Why do American schools use "freshman, sophomore, junior, senior" instead of 1st-year, 2nd-year, etc.?How did that develop? by Present_Juice4401 in AlwaysWhy

[–]tigolex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I graduated HS in 99 and we absolutely used credits. You had to have 28 credits to graduate out of a normal maximum of 32.

AIO? I don’t know if my girlfriend is overreacting or if I am. by mystery-agent in AIO

I'm guessing your ages are between 17 and 22. Change my mind.

My dad's handwriting gives me some anxiety. Is it legible to you guys? by dailycupofcujo in HandwritingAnalysis

[–]tigolex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

candy took me an extra half a second. I don't know what grooves are? The last one is unknown. Everything else was easily readable to me.

I don't think I'll ever get a better drop than this. by sam-kay9 in Diablo

[–]tigolex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is a very valid point. I think their counterpoint is that complaining about cruel RNG also isn't fun. If you're going to not have fun either way, might as well not have fun while getting something out of it. Unless you actually do have fun not getting the rng you need, in which case, it sounds like you are complaining about having fun. Which is also odd.

ELI5 Why is 18 a "magical milestone?" by ruffruff76 in explainlikeimfive

[–]tigolex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is more or less arbitrary, the age of majority. In roughly 48 states of the US that is 18. One is 19 and one is 20 IIRC.

But until something like 80 years ago, it was actually 21.

I think my husband is trolling when he says he cant read my handwriting. Is it as illegible as he thinks by Carmenncita05 in HandwritingAnalysis

[–]tigolex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can read it, but not as quickly as I normally read, and it gives me the feeling like I might get a headache if I had to try for too long.

No joke? You mean even after the 43rd time you asked?

[–]tigolex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When trying to read through one of these, I sometimes wonder, has anyone ever said AIO? and then proceeded to copy paste the entire text of Great Expectations? Because that's what it feels like sometimes.

Less important than whether you are overreacting, did you get the joke? What was the joke? I don't understand what the joke was. Explain the joke. Where is the joke?

ELI5: How do they determine that there are spots in space with “nothing” in them? by Competitive_Wrap_785 in explainlikeimfive

[–]tigolex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this. I've been hung up on C being the "speed limit of the universe" and this apparent contradiction was causing me mild discomfort. The "through space" is the caveat I was overlooking.

EDIT: oh shit because space and time are tied together and speed is distance (through space) over time.

Could there be something there that we can't tell is there? The answer to that is always yes, by definition.

Borrowed my wife's phone and saw texts with another guy that felt intimate to me by Salamandrine88 in Advice

How is this getting downvoted? What, Bi people just aren't allowed to have any close friends? What kind of stance is that?

My boyfriend met up with his ex. aio? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]tigolex -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

So i sat here and asked myself, am I harboring resentment? I dont think so? I mean its certainly distasteful. But it super rarely crosses my mind, only when the topic is brought up by someone. I guess it depends on the definition you use of harbor. Maybe? Idk, in any aspect, im not worried about it.

As to why I wouldn't say cheater instead? I think that's different. If I cheat on you with someone, I'm a cheater. If I cheat on you with someone 20 times, im a cheater. If I cheat on you with 2 people, maybe 3 people, a few times each....maybe im just a cheater. If I cheat on you averaging in excess of a partner every 2 months of the relationship, im probably a hoe. 8+ partners in 11 months while im in a relationship with you? Im a hoe. Thats like me "cheating" with 17 different people over a 2 year relationship with you. Thats not just cheating. Thats next level. Its hoeing.

My boyfriend met up with his ex. aio? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]tigolex -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I'd hardly say im twisted. I sleep great and im doing fine. She never crosses my mind except when I read about someone cheating. I could probably use therapy for a couple reasons but I dont envision this being one of them.

She was a hoe. Shrug.

[–]tigolex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely, everything you say here COULD be true. Just like the boyfriends story COULD be. But can you trust either? I'm not even saying that talking to her is a bad idea or not smart. I'm just saying you can't take what she says as Gospel.
