Straight & Fabulous, AMA

I'm pretty fabulous as well and I am often mistaken for a gay man by other gay men. This is compounded by the fact that I feel comfortable around them and I am very friendly to my fellow human beings. Also by the fact that sometimes when I'm really drunk I tell people I'm gay when other guys are annoying me with their sexual insecurities.

At times this has been a serious problem as over the course of my life I have accrued several gay crushes and one straight up gay stalker who texted me nightly for months despite never getting a response.

Sometimes I actually really wished I were gay. I like the way they party, I envy them being a "part" of a subculture and I also realize how goddamn easy it would be to get some manpoon at any hour of the day or night.

However, being reasonably handsome, dressing decently, and no being bothered by spending time with gay people is just the tip of the iceberg.

I've had friends who had lisps, high soft voices, a penchant for extremely "gay-seeming" hand movements, and a loose, swaying walk that absolutely screams gay.

Some of these friends actually were gay and had presumably adopted these affectations as a symbol of identity. Some of them weren't at all and their big cross to bear was every single person they meet instantly assuming that they're gay. I remember one of these friends in college asking me how he could change this and I told him don't bother, it'll be obvious if you try to impersonate more masculine people. Just go with the flow, when someone asks you tell them you're not gay and laugh at their disbelief, and don't give a gently caress about what anyone thinks because there would be nothing wrong with it if you were gay.

Plus, I told him he could probably parlay the entire thing into sleeping with a lot of girls.

holy poo poo man.... holy.... poo poo.

I've always heard it explained to me as being a lesbian trapped in a man's body but that notion seems ridiculous and childish next to this enormous wad of unrefined truth. And I always wondered why the guys who had crushed couldn't seem to accept that I wasn't really at all gay and never had been... their sixth sense (the gay one) told them otherwise.

Boats are stupid, just get a mistress and pay some of her rent.

Yes boats are so so stupid. Unless you are literally a fisherman or you live on the water.

For some reason my semi-redneck cousins have a new boat or a a new RV or SOME new piece of recreational equipment every time I see them. Their lives then begin to revolve around the upkeep and maintenance of these horrible albatrosses. They are nothing but a source of anxiety all year and even if/when they do get them out to the nearest lovely lake, the anxiety only increases that something bad will happen to it.

Meanwhile, it just sits in the backyard somewhere all year, depreciating in value by the second, spontaneously generating mechanical issues that won't be discovered until its much too late. And boats just get shittier constantly, it is futile to fight against the devaluation and slow destruction of them.

I've always wondered why people are always trying to add so much stress and confusion to their lives without good reason. Sometimes I fight with my girlfriend about this. For me, if something isn't useful on the daily then it's a waste of time and money that will probably end up being a huge problem once you inevitably have to get rid of it.

No. If you're not physically attracted to someone it's just as important as if you're not mentally attracted to them. You can try to "power" through it, but you'll just prolong the inevitable. You have a new awesome friend. Move on.

Yeah there's no possibility of recovery here. Something I learned is that the first time I EVER start to think "you know maybe this relationship isn't as great as I thought it was at first" the entire thing is essentially over. If it isn't ended civilly it will end in a spiral of regret and recrimination. You cannot force yourself to be attracted to someone (which kind of sucks now that I think about it)

Can't stop thinking about her
There's a girl I talk to, I cant stop thinking about her. I think about her all day and dream about her most nights. When I think about her I get an adrenaline rush, so I have a constant adrenaline rush all day. The other day I was talking to her and this put me in such a good mood I was happy all day. I think she likes me sometimes when I look up in class she's staring at me, she wants to hang around with me alot. I want nothing more than to be with her. I've liked girls before but nothing like this. Am I in love? What should I do?"

So a 60% reduction in income hasn't affected you much, that's great.

People in America place way too much focus on income. I've had wildly varying incomes over the years, both here and in other countries, and honestly most people in America besides the extremely poor have it so much better than they think.

Turns out good food can be had for cheap or cooked, a car that gets you from A to B is essentially just as functional as something fancy, and enormous houses can be more of a curse than a blessing. I'd rather have some time more for hobbies, traveling, spending with my girlfriend and family; my old salary wasn't worth the hours and stress that it caused and I had hardly any time to do the things I really love. My life honestly feels better for it and if anything, I feel changed for the better.

That's just my perspective on it, making more money does not necessarily equal a happier life, and the lack of luxury or status items shouldn't be a problem unless your priorities are kind of hosed up

Hang in there therapist-loving goon! It may not work out in the end, and you should be prepared for that. Over the years I've gotten to the point where I can love someone wholeheartedly but know that it could all end in an instant and that I'd be okay if it did. Don't put all your shriveled balls in one cracked basket, is what I"m saying.

Nevertheless, she's encouraging you, she cares about you, she can help you get some momentum in life! And that's worth putting up with some poo poo for. If she becomes too controlling then draw boundaries, don't let it spiral. But everyone has doubts in a relationship, that's totally normal. They may turn out to be unfounded, they may not. But best just enjoy the ride in all sense of the phrase.

"How does swimming work? We are lighter than water, I get that, but then how can you dive unless you swallow water?"

You have to either weight yourself down or constantly keep swimming down to counter boyancy.


Continents aren't floating rock, they're continuous all the way down through the earth. The oceans are basically just really, really big lakes.

In addition, a human body is denser than water once all the air is expelled out of the lungs. This is the reason why you can float on the surface with a breath full of air, then blow it all out and you'll sink instantly.

And the continent thing isn't as stupid as it seems, but they don't float on water. "Float" is kind of the wrong word but each continental plate does kind of float on an "ocean" of rock (the mantle)which is more like soft plastic because of the heat from the earth's core and the pressure of the continental plates above it. Plates grinding and sliding against and beneath each other is where earthquakes and most volcanoes come from.

Even if it was just a joke, I got a big kick out of the idea that you should be able to lift yourself up into the sky. So thanks for that

First of all, experienced users can generally make accurate estimates of how much they need. Granted, perhaps it was their first time.

Yep you're gonna wreck it with all this. Having some party drugs when you're out with friends occasionally is not the same thing as being an addict. On top of that, you have literally no evidence or reason to be suspicious besides the fact that her friends use drugs sometimes. Be happy this beautiful girl wants any part of you. If you begin to notice large sums of money being spent with nothing to show for it or any types of addictive behavior, then reevaluate the situation. But stop being such a goddamn wet blanket before you ruin this awesome thing you've got going.

I know you think you're being cool and edgy but I'll just take this at face value and say thank you, I appreciate that. Doubt I'll have to do the actual burying though. I don't look at them as degenerates I look at them as victims which is what they are. The majority of them have gotten clean, some are veterans who have been junkies for decades so I'm not too worried about them, but there are others and I really do hope they get help before they die. The problem is that there's not really that much I can do for them, but I wish there were.

Up to this day only one person I know has ODed and passed away from it, but it was on purpose as a note was left. Pretty surprised at that 5 year statistic and wondering if it's actually true.

There are a couple possibilities with Will.

The supplied explanation that he's an artificial memory construct that also fills in mundane memories that have been lost, like the mystery flashlight.

Will has achieved ultimate transcendence and thru some metempsychotic event mantled the godhead. You partially remember him because he can't bring himself to totally erase his mortal past for inexplicable god reasons or nostalgia or something.

Will has been incompletely unmade. Before I was deprived of some of my best oldest books, one was about a similar scenario. I can't really describe it because it was really complex and good and I haven't been able to read it in decades, but this also requires supernatural events.

Someone broke time like an rear end in a top hat and Will is collateral damage. The time travel waves haven't completely propagated yet so you still remember him. Maybe the paradox will resolve itself.

Will pissed off the illuminati and they simply haven't gotten around to bombarding you with the necessary psi energy, so he's not completely damnatio memoriae'd yet

Am I missing anything? Maybe he was subject to psychic terrorism or there was the memetic equivalent of an industrial accident?

Will and the OP were abducted and tortured brutally; Will was killed. Memories relating to Will were unconsciously expunged to remain sane.

Will had the scientific or supernatural ability to affect the minds and memories of those around him. At first Will thought OP was cool but then realized that he was a needy bitch and he'd probably be better off without. The ultimate ghosting
