Two things 1. I'm laughing every time I see those loving pics 2. I can't get over the resemblance to Alex Jones and just letting my imagination run wild with that theory

lolling at this design policy i just ran acrossquote:First, the important control points are located. These may be man-made or natural features. Property lines may be a control. Where possible, avoid dividing properties or taking a narrow strip from each of two properties. Also, avoid splitting cohesive neighborhoods. If a grade is a control, the maximum difference in elevation between points is identified.

do you understand how "i'm trying to get a job (by interviewing at 20 companies, sitting by the phone, obsessively checking my email, getting tons of rejections)" is different from "i got a job (they gave me an offer and i accepted)"

i try not to talk to single people about dating but it does sound terrible. I’d probably just join a liberal church at this point.

a friend of mine from louisiana moved to san jose and hearing her describe the dating scene there sounded like a complete nightmare the pro move she learned was to join gaming clubs. apparently this is a common enough dating/mixer scheme that there's now a bay area ladies' boardgame club of some significant size

I'm not disputing that online dating is depressing, especially when you are constantly swiping with few results. I'm asking OP what made it so bad, and gave an anecdote about my online dating experience.

It's a reasonably good analogy because the only way you're gonna get a job is by slogging through the application process, which literally everyone hates, but also which literally everyone must do. You can keep the online part of online dating to a minimum by exchanging a few pleasantries and then asking them out for coffee and all parties involved will appreciate it.

Hearing the rest of y'all describe dating, I can blame Jonny zero for wanting to avoid it. Not that I'd know, haven't had a drama-free moment in my adult life. I don't really do dating, things just keep happening and people keep having feelings.

Also, you can buy an SUV without inventing a weird excuse for why a minivan isn't cool enough. Do you think your mom wouldn't have crashed another type of car? I really don't get it.

i agree with you butquote:Colorado law requires children to ride in a car seat or booster seat until their 8th birthday, but many children will not properly fit in a seat belt alone at this age. Keep children in a booster seat until they are at least 4'9". this poo poo blows my mind

i'm not sure what's more daunting, the thought of just getting foreverially turbo-rejected by everyone, or the thought of matching with someone after weeks of whiffing only to have to pass because they insisted on going to a drat bar or something during a pandemic

dating is a slog but i think about the alternatives and it's like -- everything has its ups and downs. you can do the online dating thing and grind through hundreds of profiles to get the twenty that message you back and the five that you meet in person and hope that one of them is nice. or you can meet your SO in high school like all our parents did, and that's easy and cute and romantic, and then 20 years later you've got three kids and a mortgage and hate each others' guts. or you can do like so many cultures do and have your relatives shop around and set you up with someone, and that isn't "romantic" by western cultural standards but actually it seems to work fairly well. i don't think the disney meet-cute happily ever after thing actually exists. vvvvvvv i can't disagree with any of that, either.

Jonny 290 posted:yeah i think thats the worst thing about what i imagine modern stuff is. like a billion texts back and forth or w/e. ugh it's not, that's near the bottom of the list of problems with it. the actual fundamental problem is that every incentive makes the ideal solution to any issue to Clark Nova posted:just drop them which means everyone is locked into this vicious cycle of constantly increasing sociopathy. anything smells wrong, just swipe left (or right or whichever one is rejection, i've been off the market long enough to forget), or ghost the texts, or flake on the meetup. basically just treat everyone else as disposable. so everyone does it and everyone thinks about everyone else that way and it's a horrible, horrible emotional foundation to actually meet someone you intend to spend time with and care about.

she also only had one black clerk in like 40 years on the bench, lady was definitely racist as hell and didn't want a black man appointing her replacement clinton originally appointed her as a conservative-ish moderate, and she spent her career dismantling affirmative action programs and their associated legal doctrines for women. it's not a big leap
