What a weird culture

Hey man, don't tempt me with a good time

Scene: many beers into drinking with my girlfriend, and a bunch of my friends and their girlfriends. Girlfriend: I can't believe Z would spend $400 on a bracelet for her. They basically just started dating. I don't even want my engagement ring to be that expensive. Me: I wouldn't spend that much money on something meaningless either :facepalm: (I was talking about the bracelet, but aparently English isn't my first language and so I was thought to have been saying engagement rings are meaningless- obviously being engaged is meaningful) Moral: Mind your tongue boys (and ladies I guess) ...havent posted here in a bit. Thought I'd share

Binge watched 5 episodes of altered carbon. It's definitely captured my interest

Y'all ever pee so good you exclaim "that's the dream"?

Kinda shit that your reward for improvement is a paycut

Been 22 months for me. I've put in about as much work as a month in any other job I've had.

Tell me about it dude, I watched the prequel trilogy at work today cause I was bored

I don't mean to knock it before I try it, but I don't feel like it's going to be easy to convert my friends to a new social media platform

Have you ever scrolled through Facebook long enough that you can almost feel it poisoning You? I wish there was a normal social media outlet that was strictly for event organization

Idk man I kinda always wanted to be a storm trooper

You figured out how to post YouTube links properly. You're a legend.

Shows how much I've been paying attention haha

So I got a question for you Euro folk. Unfortunately being American, my news is basically just mass shootings and Trumps latest shit post but I've been wondering; Has Brexit actually made an impact on your day to day life? I remember it was a big deal a while back but I feel like I don't actually understand the ramifications as to what happened after it passed. So does anyone in Europe, or better yet Britain feel like their lives changed in any significant way?

I wonder what might happen when the oil dries up

What a weird power play. Texas Is huge. One city shouldn't form an opinion on the whole state. Except the country attitude of bible swinging gun toting excellent bbq. That's basically the whole state.

Don't let the compliments of others make you think you have to live up to any kind of expectation. They're trying to make you feel good (a nice thing) and are also probably generally nice people. Be happy you've encountered people that aren't human garbage (or at least less) Yeah dating has a lot of rejection and insecurity , but it also means total and complete independence

Congrats Goon, that's a pretty big deal even if your post doesn't make it seem like you're excited haha

I would think having a mutual friend would make it less awkward

Buying a house post market crash of 2008 was a steal. A guy I work with bought his house around then and it's since increased over $200k in value without any additions or renovations (it was built in 2004) I like the idea of a community house like what you got, Nyo. But you really gotta like the people you share a kitchen with. Shared common space can get brutal

Well, it's no secret I used to go for the crazy type. You probably filter out a lot of the problem matches, but I've had my name,my picture, my number all dragged through social media/Craigslist and such Lets just say I'm not running for office ever haha

Anxiety is common for tinder users, just remember that you downloaded the app to meet new people - - not just to pass time by swiping (unless you did in which case you mostly just need a new hobby) I suggest the whatsapp thing because I made the mistake of not using it, mostly because it never occurred to me that giving out my number might actually be a horrible idea. Turns out it was a horrible idea. I just thought I could save you the headache of also potentially making that mistake

First of all you should only be giving out your whatsapp number in case they're nuts. They frequently are. Once you trust them you can switch to a real number. But yeah, if you don't meet in 72 hours it's basically going to turn into a series of postpones and canceled until one or both of you stops caring

If you have a neighborhood in mind, try joining their local resident Facebook page. I see a lot of real estate rentals and open houses posted on those

All of these anecdotes are entirely subjective to region. Where I live is a cheap area for NJ, and to be more specific I pay $1400/mo rent for 1/3rd of a home property. I know another tenant pays $900 for her floor and I think the attachment pays something in the $1200 area. Because Google is a thing I know the current owner bought the home property (all 3 chunks) for $150k. While there was obviously a lot of money put into repair and there will be more to come in maintenance the math pretty easily shows that renting costs the renter more than buying the property - WITH the condition that they can afford the original down payment, taxes, and maintenance expenses
