Not weird at all! The fact that you both live together is even a bonus - you effectively halve the taxi fare on the way home :)
You’ve got nothing to lose by asking, and everything to gain. The absolute worst that can happen is that he says ‘no’ - but from what you’ve written it sounds likely he’d say ‘yes’.
Happiness is literally the result of chemical reactions in the brain. If you’re feeling happy, it’s real.
You’re running into problems because you’re conflating the feeling of happiness with the things that make you feel happy.
There’s no such thing as “true happiness” or “false happiness”.
The things that make people happy rarely have objective value, and everything comes with some kind of cost, even if it’s just time.
The happiness drug users feel is real, but the cost (money/time/health) can be significant. The happiness that you feel from playing games or reading books is real, and the cost (money/time) is less, but still there.
Happiness is always real - just be mindful of the cost!
FWIW, in fairy tales the mother is the bad parent more often than not.
If the last few weeks in the UK are anything to go by, simply holding a sign is enough to be deemed part of a terrorist organisation.
(For clarification, this is in reference to the recent protests about the highly controversial proscription of Palestine Action)
Is The System Quietly Phasing You Out?
The Functional Melancholic
There. Literally the minimum you needed to provide.
Pop this in your initial post, and people can make an informed decision.
But what’s the title of the video? Who is it by?
Remember, you’re largely talking to strangers here - it’s not the same as sending a link to someone who knows you and saying “watch this, it’s interesting!”. You need to give people enough information to decide whether they’ll be interested before clicking on it.
For example, for all know it could be a video of that insufferable Kirk guy who’s been popping up in my feed recently. The last thing I want is the algorithm thinking I like clicking on links of him.
YSK that you might get more bites if you actually tell people where the link goes - include the name of the video at the very least!
In this day and age, people are pretty well conditioned against clicking on random links.
I’ve sold a fair few things on eBay. It’s much easier now than it used to be - and if you ship with Evri, you don’t even have to go through the faff of going to the post office.
There was a period, ten-fifteen years ago, when there were so many rules that it really wasn’t any fun to sell on there. It’s much more streamlined now.
My experience nowadays is mostly from selling Transformers toys. Can’t really fault it.
I’d honestly be surprised if noone at all on this isle had completely filled their house with potato plants. I certainly know some people who I’m sure are only a couple of steps away from doing something like this.
In addition to the answers given, we also have the phenomenon of the “Mexican Filter”. Films and TV programmes featuring scenes in Central America and South East Asia often use extremely yellow / sepia colour grading.
While mostly employed as visual shorthand to show that the scenes are now somewhere other than Europe / North America, it’s so prevalent that people think the countries actually look like that.
There was a guy with an awfully similar name to you, asking awfully similar questions.
I’m not trying to out you if you’re actually the same guy trying to get around a ban, but if you are, why pick such a similar name? It’s bordering on suspicious - picking an explicitly religious name then posting about prostitutes.
If this is coincidence, and you’re a completely different guy with a similar name posting about a similar topic within the space of a week, I apologise - and I don’t want to freak you out too much, but you may have a doppelganger.
Very much this.
Remember, OP, it’s an “ectomy” - they remove a beansprout-sized chunk of each vas deferens. You will be left missing a fairly big piece of the plumbing - it’s not just a simple connect/disconnect thing.
If you do choose to have it done and you’re the curious type, they’ll actually let you watch if you ask.
Also, stock up on ibuprofen!
Appreciate the info! Thank you.
I don’t want to put you out, but if you’ve got actual links to him saying dodgy stuff, then please could you show me?
I’m about ten minutes into reading through his Reddit comments and he’s not even said anything political. One of the most recent comments was him replying to an accusation of creating the federated wiki alternative for right-wing purposes, which is confusing me even more.
He’s specifically telling people which instances they can join that block lemmygrad.
He doesn’t seem that extreme. If you can provide something, it’d really be appreciated, because from looking at his posts so far, he seems a nice enough guy.
Edit - never mind, I think I’ve found what you’re referring to. I’ll look through them properly in a little bit.
Is possible, just maybe, that you’ve been talking to trolls posing as communists, rather than actual communists? Because that’s what it sounds like.
I’m getting lots of downvotes. The Principal Skinner meme comes to mind.
Is the Democratic Party at fault?
No, the millions of people who didn’t want to vote for the Democratic Party are to blame.
Ah, ok. Thanks for that.
I’ve got even more questions now, but I won’t press on!
I’m also getting the impression that I accidentally caused you to dredge up unpleasant stuff from your past - I promise it wasn’t my intention. Sorry if I did.
Hope I’ve at least shown a side to the thing that isn’t the insane/angry side that you know.
Or, and please hear me out, because you’re not going to like it.
The Republican party are directly responsible for putting Trump as the nominee.
The people who voted Republican are directly responsible.
The Democrat party are indirectly responsible by presenting such a poor-looking alternative. “We’re not Trump” is not enough.
The people who chose not to vote are the least responsible of all.
You’re directing your anger in the wrong direction. It’s the corruption within the system you need to be tearing down, not some poor sod on the internet.
What’s the plan - to scare them into voting the way you want in the next election? To argue with and win over the millions of extra voters the Democrats needed?
The problem isn’t with the people who saw that both sides were bad options - it’s with the Democrat party for being a bad option.
Fun fact - I was 23 and studying for my MSc before I learned how to read analogue clocks.
If you’re after speed, all I can suggest is that you’ve got to embrace the old-people habit of using the nearest 5 minute mark and accept that level of accuracy.
