my weekly work lunch is a soda and a sandwich with a bag of chips. It’s $20. 5 years ago it was $12.
- Comment on after 40 all meals are horror 2 months ago:
I don’t. But I’m a rich american who can afford to be picky and eat different stuff for every meal.
- Comment on after 40 all meals are horror 2 months ago:
a lot of people eat the same food several days in a row, or several meals in a row.
- Comment on after 40 all meals are horror 2 months ago:
They do. They taste like shit.
- Comment on Please stop making Alien movies 2 months ago:
Surprised no one in this thread has yet mentioned how this movie very much parallels Alien: Isolation and the huge success that game had by being so consistent with the premise of the first movie.
- Comment on Please stop making Alien movies 2 months ago:
a fresh coat of paint on an old house is a good thing.
trying to remodel the damn thing to fit whatever is trendy here and now, ruins the whole house.
- Comment on Please stop making Alien movies 2 months ago:
Agreed. The star wars stuff that is great is the stuff that isn’t tied down to the original trilogy characters and plot.
- Comment on Please stop making Alien movies 2 months ago:
yeah that take is completely absurd.
- Comment on Please stop making Alien movies 2 months ago:
Because it was bad movie. Bad characters, nonsensical plot, and did nothing creative or interesting with the mythos.
It was like the Star Wars prequels or sequels.
- Comment on I've heard it clears up again after the first wave of divorces 3 months ago:
you can’t build a successful relationship without dating and getting to know if you’re a good fit.
- Comment on I've heard it clears up again after the first wave of divorces 3 months ago:
yeah, been there too. i could never understand someone who refuses treatment/therapy/medication and then blames someone else for their struggles.
- Comment on I've heard it clears up again after the first wave of divorces 3 months ago:
nah it’s multiple dates. it’s also a common attitude that men need to ‘impress’ dates by spending a lot at restaurants otherwise they ‘devalue’ a woman.
basically a lot of people see dating as prostitution with extra steps.
- Comment on I've heard it clears up again after the first wave of divorces 3 months ago:
correct. i don’t tolerate delusional people who think they have some special super secret knowledge and are superior to other people based upon it.
- Comment on I've heard it clears up again after the first wave of divorces 3 months ago:
that isn’t change, that’s failure to take responsibility for yourself.
- Comment on I've heard it clears up again after the first wave of divorces 3 months ago:
ok, so no leftists exist. got it.
- Comment on I've heard it clears up again after the first wave of divorces 3 months ago:
no. clear empties quality when it comes to water.
- Comment on I've heard it clears up again after the first wave of divorces 3 months ago:
yeah you are. it’s really easy to understand.
the pool was clear before people got married. it clears up again after the first wave of divorces. clear meaning ‘there are desirable people to date’
are you ESL?
- Comment on I've heard it clears up again after the first wave of divorces 3 months ago:
sorry, is there a test i can perform on people to know if they are ‘true leftist’?
you should create a ‘leftist testing kit’ like they have for covid so i can bring it on dates and swab them and know in 15 minutes if they are a leftist or not!
- Comment on I've heard it clears up again after the first wave of divorces 3 months ago:
I’m not assuming anything. I’m reporting how people behave. If I meet someone who is a middle class job and they are telling me I’m a POS loser for not driving car that is worth more than their annual salary, the issue isn’t me.
- Comment on I've heard it clears up again after the first wave of divorces 3 months ago:
A good chunk of the people I’m talking about identify as leftists.
- Comment on I've heard it clears up again after the first wave of divorces 3 months ago:
yeah i grew up rural and by mid twenties all my HS peers were married w/ kids or doing drugs/prison.
least to i haven’t been back there since i was 19 years old.
- Comment on I've heard it clears up again after the first wave of divorces 3 months ago:
IME it’s that the more bad experiences they have, the more they demand an idealized greek god of a person as a partner and think anyone who doesn’t measure up to that fantasy. because it’s not their fault, it’s their partners for not ‘measuring up’ to their ‘standards’.
- Comment on I've heard it clears up again after the first wave of divorces 3 months ago:
some of it is good. some social media has great/good advice… but that social media isn’t popular.
- Comment on I've heard it clears up again after the first wave of divorces 3 months ago:
what i don’t get is why people married people they knew were awful people, or awful for them.
anytime someone lies, cheats, or steals from me (or shows any disrespect, like verbal/physical abuse) i dump their ass.
- Comment on I've heard it clears up again after the first wave of divorces 3 months ago:
nobody has kids at that age in the urban coastal cities.
- Comment on I've heard it clears up again after the first wave of divorces 3 months ago:
no
- Comment on I've heard it clears up again after the first wave of divorces 3 months ago:
speak for yourself. i have found dating as a 30+ adult to be way more dramatic and miserable than it was in my 20s.
nobody in my 20s was having a temper tantrum at dinner because the restaurant isn’t expensive enough for their ‘brand’.
- Comment on I've heard it clears up again after the first wave of divorces 3 months ago:
bingo.
gist of most people who are terminally single is they aren’t capable of offering as much as they demand. so for anyone that is a bad deal.
and being i relationship like that is draining and soul-sucking. i used to be depressed and suicidal in the past… because I as in relationships that were sucking my soul out. When I broke up, stayed single, and worked on myself… my life had value again and i was no longer depressed and suicidal.
- Comment on I've heard it clears up again after the first wave of divorces 3 months ago:
is the reason maybe that it’s hard dating after 35 or is that only a valid excuse for women?
it’s easier to blame other people than realize you aren’t a catch either.
- Comment on I've heard it clears up again after the first wave of divorces 3 months ago:
It’s not harder, objectively.
It’s just that people’s expectations aren’t realistic. And nobody is more bitter than average folks who think they are the top 1% of the dating pool.
